Knight rider - Spanish guitar cover

- Originally written by Stu Phillips for the Knight Riders TV series. As a kid I loved the series.
In the song I always felt some flamenco behind. I made this cover based on that mood...
I love the randomness of the YT algorithm. I would never have guessed I needed to hear a 9 year old flamenco flavored guitar cover of the Knight Rider theme on a Sunday morning but here we are
Listening to that, I now realize: If Micharl Knight had lived in the 1880s instead of the 1980s, he'd basically be Zorro!
K.I.T.T.
a... some kind of special breed talking horse...?
Agreed the horse would be alchemically and magically enhanced to speak like a man and would have magical gadget instead
@@rehdwolfe So that would be Zorro and Mr. Ed (that old tv show with a talking horse).
@@Random_user_8472 Wilbur! ... This is a story of a vaquero that does not exist ...
I now want to see a horse do a turbo boost so badly
how is this possible it just now popped upon my feed 9 years after glad to here this take
"A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Miguel Caballero, a young loner on a crusade, to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless. In a world of criminals who operate above the law…”
😂 Miguel Caballero
🎉😮
😂
I want to watch this show!
Diego DeLa Vega was zorro, Bernardo was his assistant that fixed the horse, Sargent Garcia was his nemesis
Popped up on my feed 8 years late, but I'm glad I found this.
Sane
This cover would work in every Tarantino movie.
It would actually 😅
I suddenly feel like watching Desperado or Once upon a time in Mexico
Brilliant rendition. Surprised that it was only recommended now 😮
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. The show's theme has been in my playlist for ages and Im only just getting this?
So am I! I'm always going through bursts of listening to the show's theme, and there's just no way it should have taken this long for me to find this little masterpiece.
Better late than never I guess .... I'm in the same boat .....( or car )
I am 8 years late to the party! Such a well-made cover, well done! ^^
Thank you very much. Cheers!
I'm Spanish, and I never felt there was even the slightest hint of flamenco in it. 😅
However, you made a truly outstanding cover, making the theme your own, like good covers should do!
Music makes us all feel different about it, that's its greatness. I bow to your rendition. 🙇💯
@@riangarianga Tnx. Well it is in phrygian mode which you find mostly in Flamenco tonal mode, of course the synth sound hides that. I am quite sure the tune was written on a guitar. Anyway, cheers and tnx for the comment.
Having watched the show as a kid and a lifelong musician I LOVE THIS
knight rider forever.
Mate, this is spectacular. This had better get the exposure it deserves one day.
@@Xadhoom thanks ;)
It's the first time I've heard this and I love it. In fact, it would have been a good choice for the actual theme song. Kudos and thanks for sharing this.
Strangely dark and mysterious
hehe tnx
Up for 8 years, and I'm just heading this!?!? I've missed out!!! But I'm really happy I'm hearing this because when I clicked on this, I wasn't sure if I would love it or hate it
@@HazMat1012 tnx!
I feel like I am back driving around Mexico when listening to this
I'm from Spain (Sevilla): YOU NAILED IT!
I love how TH-cam is now suggesting more and more stuff like this. Wonderful cover.
@@EdwinHeidagracias!
Aw man, this is so beautiful and lovely. My favorite version at the moment 💛, shared it everywhere

Congratulations! This is really great! I feel like a teenager watching michael Knight. So cool!
Thanks
This cover I must say is mesmerising !
Tnx a lot m8
Cool rendition.. Especially ending
thank you
de nada. No me canso de escuchar la canción y de ver las imágenes del vídeo. Es una de mis series favoritas
This is what a Knight Rider movie directed by Robert Rodriguez would sound like.
Exactly what I thought, I feel like watching Desperado or Once upon a time in mexico
I encouraged my self to listen this
Wow, making covers is fun and I can hear this one had to be fun, too. Amazing cover with your own flavor peppered in, well done! 👍
@@CrotchetRest exactly, so much fun to do something in your way or to exeriment a bit. Thanks.
This a remarkable work of art, well done!
@@Pendrym Thank you very much.

Bojan, amazing! That was pretty dope. Thank you!
Very catchy cover, sometimes I use it as a BGM for relaxing moments ... Nice

I agree, it certainly is QUITE "mellow"
Muy chulo!

Thank you very much. Cheers.
anybody ever create the guitar tab for this?
Awesome!! Very clever!!
I have KNIGHT RIDER versions car,my favorite in my life 🎉😅❤🔥💓✌️👍🇱🇷💥🥰🥰
Good damnit!. You killed it!. 10/10
Inspired version of an awesome theme!
I just can't stop imagine Michael Knight taking a break to have a siesta nap every time 😴 😅
Hey that’s canon! In the pilot, he’s pulled over by a highway patrol during a siesta ;)
Most Spanish people actually do not take a nap in the middle of the day... Maybe we should get that habit back :)
Yeah, it's a neat cover, makes you imagine the main characthers in a different perspective , espcially in a cultural standpoint
sounds great
@@francisb1 tnx :)
jamming...this is much better than I thought. Love it ^_^
@@StinzandL thanks ;)
Incredible! It would be great to see a video of you playing this.
thanks. Well, it wouldnt be that nice. I think I was all sweaty and overheated.
Beautiful ❤️
Tnx
Very good!!
This should feature in the newly announced reboot if someone actually produces it.
absolutely fantastic work !!! luv from Aus
Thank you! Cheers!
This is delightful!
He was as black as Night and as elegant as a pretty Seniorita. And he was as fast as a Puma and as strong as a Bull.
Fantastic!
This would be a good one for Rodrigo y Gabriela to cover. Nice job with the rendition! Love it!
tnx
This is beautiful.
Thank you very much ;)
When KITT is a SEAT Fura Crono
Lol :)
.. and Michael is wearing a sombrero
@@markiesparky Miguel
YESSSSSS
Woww i loveeeee
Incredible!
increíble, me encanta.
Muito obrigado
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
When you go to Spain and see a car running without driver...
There is a kitt on Tenerife
Only if it is moving.......
Sounds great !!!!
So mut
Excellent -can you release on Band Camp?
No. I hate bandcamp
Any plans to make it available for purchase on a platform?
Wow this is really clever!
I like this! Honestly, I expect Zorro to get out of the car now. :-)
@@Launcelot4077th thanks for the laugh :)
Nooo q bueno q suenaaaa!!! Jajja excelenteeeee!!!❤🎉😊
Great work 👍
Thanks
This is the intro tune we should have had here in Spain👍🏻
I so need a clip of this for my ring tone!!
email, Ill send you one :)
just perfect
Cool twist nice
Very nice 👍
Grasias!
Outstanding!
thank you cheers
Super ❤
Me imagino a Curro Jiménez saliendo del coche 😊
Excellent
Senor Knight would be proud
Awesome!
What a nice transcript. There are many instruments inside of a guitar
The lone man on a desert highway imagery with the flamenco style reminds me of Desperado (the original Mexican version, not the Hollywood Antonio Banderas version.)
Oleeeeee
First I was like, huh I am not sure about that, but it actually slaps
¿Qué acordes usas para crearla? Solo tengo ukelele, eso es lo malo.
Cooolll mannnnn hahahahah❤❤❤
woooww i lovee ;))))
🚘😎🎶🎊NAILED IT🎊🎶😎🚘
Imma join the 8-years-late-to-the-party gang and say well done, sir. The algorythm works in mysterious ways.
To me Nightrider ,Michael Knight Meets The Desperado
El catorce-treinta fantástico.
Gracias :)
Not as much a "cover", more of a re-interpretation.
It's always amazing how the simple stuff sticks with you. I guess that's why King Crimson and King's X and some of the other prog bands never made it as big as some of their more "pop" counterparts. The knight Rider theme (the guitar part) is a whopping one(?) chord. Three notes?
Thanks.
Well regarding the popularity - I don't have a clue how it is done :).
I simply like this song because as a guitarist I find it has the andalucian cadence (which is used a lot in flamenco music) and the galloping kind of rhythm pattern (Zorro :)), so I made this song in this 'mode'.
The composers Stu Phillips and Glen Albert Larson said they took the idea from one of the Cinderella suites from Sergei Prokofiev but then made something totally different.
About the three notes, yes, they are very catchy and they stand on F# phrygian, E minor and G major. The synth sound they used on those three notes fits exactly the futuristic car, and the andalucian scent fits the rebel in the car.
I tried to make the three notes sound as much natural as possible on the guitar, but it never is :).
This composition is one of those unique 'once in a life time' that our ears cannot neglect.
