The Sons of Hercules
From Academic Kids
The Sons of Hercules was a syndicated television show that aired in the United States of America in the 1970s. The series mostly repackaged Italian Maciste films by giving them a memorable theme song and a standard intro relating them to the Sons of Hercules. Since Maciste was not recognised as a character in the USA, he was usually renamed as Goliath, Ursus, Colossus or some other name.
The lyrics to the theme song go:
- The Mighty Sons of Hercules
- Once thundered through the years;
- These men of steel could never feel
- The curse of a coward's fears!
- The Mighty Sons of Hercules
- Were men as men should be;
- They burned with dreams, and turned their dreams
- Into history!
- A hundred giants, brave and bold,
- They ruled the world in days of old.
- The Mighty Sons of Hercules
- Were men as men should be;
- They burned with dreams, and turned their dreams
- Into history!
there was also an "end tag" at the film's finale:
- They are there
- When the need arrives;
- There to show that Might and Right
- Still survive!
- On land or on the sea
- As long as there is need;
- There'll be Sons of Hercules!
- There'll be Sons of Hercules!
