The Lone Ranger

[Buzz]

Does anyone remember the song The Lone Ranger by a group called Quantum Jump in the late 70's

It started : Taumatawhakatangihangakoayauotamateaturipukakapiki maungahoronukypokaiwhenuakitanatahumakatuatananuac awamikatorah

I remember practising how to say it and for a week or two was the centre of attention in the playground and in class.
About halfway through the song it is said 3 or 4 times in a row and I even learned that

How sad hey?

The things you did as a kid

Do indeed, Buzz ( Hi-ho Silver howay, Ride into tomorrow today ) ! I only found out lately that it hints at The Lone Ranger and Tonto being, well, very good friends....
Quantum Jump were 1-hit-wonders. Pity.

the rest of the lyrics were very risque as well what i can remember, I think that song slipped by the censors because as Aiden said evryone was trying to learn the beginning bit!

Tonto know that Kimosabi
Never ever have a woman
Tonto sometime stop and wonder
What the trip with the great white brother
Maybe masked man he a poofter
Try it on with surly Tonto
Let me say to mister lawman
Tonto doesn't mind

Did the same thing as a kid mate - can still sing it now!

p.s. Kudos on writing it down, I'd only have spelt it phonetically and messed it up!
