He-Man - Extended Theme

[Timbrock]

NOT ONLY WAS "HE-MAN" AMONG MY FAVORITE CARTOONS AS A KID, BUT MY UNCLE WAS AMONG THE MUSICIANS THAT CREATED THE THEME MUSIC. He-man came about around 1982, but this score was actually created in 1979 for a prime-time TV show (unsure which) on NBC, but was turned down by the producers. Was recorded at NBC Studios in LA. In 1981, the score was sold to Filmation, who used it for this cartoon. Filmation dubbed in the words "He-Man". My uncle was the 3rd Violinist.

RIP to John Erwin
The Voice of He-Man

Thank you for teaching us we all had “The Power”

[nisybi]

Admittedly, whenever I have to try and lift something heavy this song Always pops into my head

[kingninja]

Who else was just minding their own business and then this theme randomly played in your mind?

[sethtaros]

I am Adam, prince of eternia and defender of the secrets of castle grayskull. This is Cringer, my fearless friend. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said "By the power of grayskull! I have the power!!" Cringer became the mighty battle cat and I became He-man: The most powerful man in the universe! Only three others share this secret; our friends The Sorceress, Man-at-arms, and Orko. Together we defend castle grayskull from the evil forces of skeletor.

Here I am in 2024, 50 years old and have vivid fond memories of my all-time favorite cartoon show, He-man!

Some things never die 🙂

[CyberVforVictory]

One of the greatest themes of all time. 40 years and it still holds up perfectly

[chronogaruda]

When I was 6 I had a friend tell me about He Man. I thought the name was stupid and he kept rambling about it. So on Friday I went over to his house and saw He Man for the first time. My life was forever changed

[olieantonetti]

A theme song that has aged gracefully like fine wine and will forever hold a place in my memories as a kid when I watched the episodes.

[darrellwebb]

I choke up a little everytime I hear this.. this is literally my childhood

[michaeloffgrid]

RIP John Erwin. Thanks for the memories!

[avalon]

I get teary-eyed when I hear this because I miss the 80s.

[zeored]

Every television show from the early to late 80s will always hold a special place in our heart

[Blade_Runner_Battalion]

I don't care who you are, but when you hear this theme played, you should instantly feel strength, courage, confidence, and know you indeed have the power. Thank you John Erwin & Filmation for everything.

I grew up in the 2000s and watched this show, I'm glad my parents raised me right.

Fun Fact: This song is perfect for testing headphones and ear buds.

[OUTDABOXX]

38 years ago I ran home from school to hear this theme every day

[mrnobody.]

Those '80s theme songs are awesome!!!

[Akira]

This is one of those cartoon theme songs that get you really psyched up!
