It's illegal to explain a heist without this song playing in the background.
It's also illegal to get into an immature insult battle with the other baseball team without this song in the background.

Wats the plan boss
This is a song you can go to the bar and play 10 times in a row and no one will complain.
And then play "Mo' Green Onions" 10 times after that
I second that!!
I'm a listen-to-this-song-10-times-in-a-row type of enjoyer, but even I can recognize advice that will get you thrown out by the entire patronage of whatever bar you choose to pull that stunt in 🤣
@@DaBaSoftware Not if you buy them a round of beer….😊
This and nothing else matters- Metallica
Who’s listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
I am
Time is tighter still
🔥🔥🔥
Pan frying burgers and jammin to green onions..
Me is listening now
I am 72. Green Onions was released on my eleventh birthday.
Loved it then, loving it still.
Blucher?
Solid.
Miss Wanda I was born in 1951 and this was some of the very best music ever recorded I think to this day nothing can even come close to our music in those days if so I haven’t heard it!
You have a wonderful day!
Also 72 my older brother used to play this.
I'm 72 also. So we were 10 when that incredible music landed in our brain and helped us to wait for Wilson Picket, Otis Redding, the Four Tops, Queen Aretha, The Supremes, Rufus Thomas, The Markets, Sam & Dave, Eddy Floyd, Isaac Hayes and so many others great singers. 🤩
My go-to song when my friends force me to sign up for karaoke.
ROFL !!!!
Bahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Those grunts are tricky!
Can I bring my guitar and amp to Karaoke?
looping it in the hammock
If you know this song you have a good musical taste
Yay
Cool
Thanks!
Yes
Yep/yup/yes
Still one of the coolest pieces of music after more than 6 decades.
Amen!
Indeed
u got that right
It’s a Summer’s night. I'm driving down a country road in my 68 Camaro coming back from a car show looking out the window at the full moon in the sky. I’m chilling listening to this song on the radio. The vibe is good and I’m smiling away to myself. That day was a good day, not that anything significant happened but it’s the little things in life.
Gotta love the fast car ride stories while listening to Green Onions 1968 soft yellow and black hardtop coronet 440
Hi doing the drag in my friends 1967 convertible camaro powder blue
You are a very good Writer. Very descriptive. You put me right there.
Hone your talent.
Quit patronizing.
One of my faves when I was in the. service. Time is tight also awesome
I remember my mom playing this song on Saturday mornings on Rochester NY’s WDKX radio station. This was one of her favorites. I just lost her two days ago. Rest in eternal peace, Mom. I love you, forever and a day ♥️
I am so very sorry for your loss, ma'am. Your mom sounds like one awesome lady who left some good memories, withal. My best wishes to you, Regina Wynn, for all the good days yet to come.
Sorry for your loss... :(
Thank you for your kind words; so warm and truly appreciated. 🌺
She was a very unique woman...my first teacher. Feels like I’m learning even more now that she’s gone; kind of bittersweet.
Ahhh.. Regina, may your Mom rest in peace and you cherish her memory and the music.
This song makes my dog howl to the sky. The only other one he reacts to like that is Riders on the Storm. The little bastard has good taste!
Riders on the storm you say?,
Your dog knows good music.
Watch out btw I heard there’s a killer on the road and his brain squirming like a toad
@@JustinTimeForParties watch out, if you give this man a ride, sweet memory will die.
Greatest dog of all time. First,... one of the greatest posts of all time (original one on this thread, though yours is top 5! 😂). Then,...I hear of the greatest dog of all time,...In the same week?!?
Wait a minute,...doesn’t that make this the greatest week of all time? 😳
What kind of dog is it..?
This song makes me feel like I’m about to do some old school gangster shit and not be caught because I do it so casually.
Reminds me of slipping out the back door and hanging out with those hoodlum friends of mine
This makes me feel like I'm in a 1950s greaser gang and where all walking down the road snapping along to the beat 🔥🔥
STOOPIT you announcing it here😂🤡🤣
@@jackcrane7853never said I do any of that. Just that that’s how I feel.
😂😂👍
My dad was in a band in the 70's and 80's. he was a keyboardist and this was his go to song whenever he was warming up. Everytime I hear this song I see him playing it. RIP Romeo COPs Ltd. Love you dad
Thanks for sharing Mike! My Dad made me a music head, as he could play piano, organ, guitar, harmonica, accordian and sing! He's been gone about 35 years now, but the memories remain! Hang on to the memories man- it'll get ya through!! Peace ✌️
May your dad rest in peace 🙏
I think I was at that bar?
That's a cool memory. Rest in Peace 2 your Papa. I know a lotta older cats in Bands. They're my friends. They're all so interesting, cool, talented, humble, quiet, and beautifully introspective, yet Caring..Much Love, 1 Love. This is a great ol' tune
Warmup....or before a break
This is one of those songs that will never go out of style
This has been my favorite song.
How are you doing Cienega?
Timeless
Sorry to burst your bubble but this song is indeed very out of style. It’s appreciated and it’s a phenomenal song but this song fits nothing of the past 30 years 😹
Right; like a denim jacket.
@@philipsunny3352 Doing great, thank you for asking. Sorry it took 2 years to respond
Greatest cruising song ever recorded.
Almost. Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf takes it.
@@kronossonork6994 Nah, this is better for cruising.
Absolutely. Especially at night. I would put on the CD and listed for four hours when driving between San Diego & Las Vegas.
Crusing yes... if we talking speeding.. that goes to Stranglehold
@Eggy Noggy good words man
In all my other favorites someone asks who's here in 2024...so I guess it's my turn...Who's here in 2024 baby?one of the greatest songs ever!
Us.
Yes, I'm here. 65 yo, been listening to this since I was 9 ❤❤
The song that proves less is more in it’s simple elegance.
Steve Cropper on lead guitar
Simplicity is the essence of elegance.
yeah all right she's got everything Shibumi Shibui Wabi-Sabi and Tight all right and Loose just like a Goose all right all night
This has to be one of the most recognizable songs ever, even if you have no idea what it is called, who sang it, what year it came out, etc. Everyone has heard it.
Green Onions. I'm a one man band on youtube.
Listen to the Shadows intro to the rise and fall of flingel blunt you recognise this anywhere you are in the world
Listen to into of the shadows rise and fall of flingel blunt you never forget that one music is abroad spectrum don't rule them out.
Sang it?
It has to be like the most generic jazz song ever.
This song never gets old because it's a twelve-bar blues progression, and there's something about it that humans just connect with. You not only hear it, but you feel it. The Hammond B-3 organ stands out, but I guarantee you that a well-played sax or guitar would also work well. You know, instinctively, what a twelve-bar blues is supposed to do, and it does it. Every. Damned. Time.
If there's anyone that doesn't like this, I'd check your pulse. You're probably dead.
Bad ass song then and not !😅
Yes😂
Still a cool song 🎵 anyone here in 2024?
Just turned 28 and I can’t help but look for these old tunes
This is Timeless song
Like the other ones from that time.
I always knew that youngsters would love old school music. Because I always knew how could they not. Whether or not they admit it or secretly do so. Keep on looking , discovering, and listening 😊
One of my favorite tracks and it doesn't even have lyrics. That's the true power of music 💪.
No lyrics but that guitar is singing though
It has lyrics.
Yeh.
And
Hey
Just some bored guys noodling around on their instruments.....Some VERY talented guys.
It's better without lyrics.
@@wms72
Yup...These guys tapped into something special with this......Accidental genius is still genius.
Only came here to say
YOU PLAY BALL LIKE A GIRRRL!
Dude same!
Hey, is that your sister out in left field? Naked? She's naked.
Y tu Revuelves tu Cereal con la Grasa, de tu Mamá!! 😡
YOU'RE KILLING ME SMALLS
Sandlot!
I love this . . . also reminds me of the movie . . The Sandlot.
Was looking for this comment 😂
@@jesusangeles19995 bro me too 💀💀💀
Hell yea! One of my favorite movies. I'm watching American Graffiti right now and this song came on.
American Grafitti
Best movie of all time!!
I did not expect this to play in the knuckles show, and when I immediately recognized it I smiled like an idiot. one of the best chill songs ever.
What... this played in that knuckles show???
Oh god, I've been missing out!
Literally just came from the knuckles show because i was looking for this for 10 years…
Heard this while watching a movie, but couldn’t remember the title. Luckily, while watching ‘A Single Man’, Colin Firth & Julianne Moore dance to it.
I've heard this in the trailer for Chicken Run and until I saw Knuckles, I had no idea what this music was called.
My grandmother loves this song, 85 with a artificial hip that will still get up to this song.
thats the kind of thing that keeps her young!
Yeh
God bless her till her never give up.
God bless her keep going don't stop .
bless her!
One of the coolest instrumentals which only ever seems to mature in time like a fine wine!
Listen to Ramsey Lewis's Wade in the Water
Two things that come to mind when this song plays: Baseball and Skateboarding
Sandlot and Skate 2 brother! Two of the greatest pieces of media I've ever experienced.
500 ponies under the hood, serious rumble out the pipes, sound up max with this on! Cruzin at it's best!!
Sandlot is the best movie ever!
You play ball like a girl!!!
Neighbors' kids learned to play the drums to this song. WE heard it over and over again and never got tired of it.
😂😂LMAO!!
You know its a good song when you don't get tired of it - unlike Pink Floyd - so tired of hearing them.
Great tune to learn to
Rose Huber I'm about to be that neighbor
Christine Sliwoski no one asked about your wrong pink floyd opinion
One of the greatest if not the greatest rock and roll instrumentals ever written. Thank you Steve cropper and the rest of the booker t and the MGs.
In 1965, I was stationed on Guam and was a DJ in my off duty time on AFNG (Armed Forces Network Guam) This was my theme song as I opened my show. All our music came transcribed on records that we played on twin Gates turntables. Give me that old time rock and roll...
so THATS the name of this song

MAAAATE, the amount of people I have said to "do you know that Da-na-nana-na-na song? Yup.... too fucking many.
Green onions
bruh ive been looking for this song since like october and i was like "yeah it kinda has a poker night kinda riff and it reminds me of spirit in the sky mixed with money and it has no words but you can picture it during a casino-y kind of movie ya know" and nobody knew what i was talking about
@@drekrueger654 lmaoooo
It's NOT even 3 minutes long yet it's a classic through and through. I NEVER get tired of listening to it!
Same here. I right-click on the vid's screen and select Loop . . .
You're killing me Smalls! 🤣
Yep, I will always stop and listen to this
Shorter songs are the best.
oh yes, they cold pack it all in and punch them out, those days
Still listening to this in 2024
Same here. This was my 2012 childhood jam and reminds me of those simpler times during that year. I remembered hearing it on a Stacy’s Pita Chips and JCPenney ad too when I was 9 and 10 years old. This is nostalgia hitting me like a truck.
100% the greatest instrumental of all time.
Rivaled maybe only by Peter Gunn and James Bond Themes 🔥
@@yuris6125 Excellent suggestions. I play bass and my go to bassline is the Peter Gunn theme. It's a hit every time
Anyone else just instantly snaps their fingers the entire song once this comes on?
Impossible not to.
It's a test done by doctors to see if signs of life.
*Bad boy finger snapping
yeah !
When I landed in Vietnam during the 1960s.
Heavy service. And I sincerely do thank you for it. RESPECT.
God bless you!
Thank you for serving!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you, Revrnt.
@@Nobody.carez222 I followed the damn train for about 10 times already or even more with success (excluding failures of course).
Was first introduced to this song by The Sandlot . Now it's been with me ever since
You play ball like a girl!!
"THE WEREWOLF" 3/19/'24 AND STILL ROCKING AT 75yrs. YOUNG!!!!!!
I Just Wanna Say That Anyone Who Grew Up Listening To This Song When It Came Out... You Are A Legend!
1962. the year i met the blues. never looked back.
Love it. Love me some Blues, too.
My mother actually had this album. I was the only one of my siblings that listened to it. This is where I developed my love for different genres of music. We had Beatles albums, Peggy Lee albums, Isaac Hayes, Wes Montgomery albums, Booker T and The MG's, Stevie Wonder, Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye...& A whole host of others, and I was the only child, out of 5, that listened to them all...
Doesn't matter whether you're changing a diaper, waxing your car, or dancing at your local watering hole: if THIS song is playing in the background, it makes whatever you're doing COOOOOL!!
Today is my mother's BIRTHDAY and she passed in 2000 and this was one of her favorite song's...I LOVE YOU MOMMA AND MISS YOU FOREVER❤❤❤❤
American Graffitti...before the big race....awesome tune!
The song was played on Maximum Bob.
Quadrophenia movie
American Graffiti was awesome. I was 16 years old in 1958. I kinda lived it
So many big names in American Graffiti before they were big.
Y that's where I discovered it! Greatest instrumental of all time!!
Greatest walk up song of all time.
Amen to that, either this or something like Paranoid by Black Sabbath imo
Your killing me smalls
Used to play this riding my bike around my neighborhood as a little kid. Felt like a badass doing it, too.
Yeh me to only i do it when im rideing on my V-setta 9+ stand up electric 50mph scooter summer shorts on and green onions song on full blast on my big JBLSpeaker every one turns their head my way and give me the thumbs up and they do the boogie dance as i zoom by at 40mph it's so fun so cool!!! 🤪👍👍
Are you one of those douches from the sandlot?
Funny
@@arnoldlitke5084that sounds amazing, tbh!
If I saw a lil kid playing this on speaker while riding his/her bike, it would make my day, hahah!! Sometimes lil kids are cultured AF.
Who listening in 2024🎉
Bro why are me and you here??
Like the pimp walk this tune ain’t never ever going to leave the street
Me , right now ❤🎉
Yes
At work
Heard on the house speakers
Came here for a double dose
60 years old, still slaps
American Graffiti drag race scene....Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I was losin Toad"
"John I don't know what you're talking about. You had him beat all the way"
I can't believe an organ can sound this cool.
This song came out in fall of 1962. I was in the seventh grade and I remember this song when the twist dance was popular. It was fun those days.
I also remember this song. I was in the 7th grade when it came out and I still play it sometimes on a juke box at a club I go to that has the search feature .
So many movies come to mind
true!!!!!
Sandlot!
I recently heard this song on the radio. There are no words to describe how happy I was to put name to this fire song
A moment of silence for people who are still trying to search this song by searching "cool blues song with cool organ"
lmao stop-
I tried searching "instrumental rock organ song."
Glad I eventually found it by going through all songs from the 50s-70s on Wikipedia's rock instrumentals article.
Legit was searching for this song using terms like "bank heist song" lol
i said sandlot bop
American Graffiti cruising song?
Gotta be drivin' a V8 to listen properly to this music. Nothing else will do.
Drivin' my V2 two stroke uphill listening to this.
37 Packard Roadster, V 12, with the top down...
Rollin' in a '70 Superbird, 440, 3 dueces, 4 speed. just came out from watching "American Graffiti" and raced a Torino. Tune has been stuck in my head for 50+ years!
@@tomcipelle2493 SuperBird? I LOVE the taillights, and those
side scoops. I really liked the grille of the '70 Satellite, GTX
and roadrunner. The SuperBird covered that grille.
Oh, the A833, needed a suregrip behind it. Mine didn't have
it. But, I did have the A833. And, the pistol grip.
steve
A go-to song at my local roller rink.
I remember when this came out. I was a teen. My parents are from the deep south and for that generation born within the first 20 years of the 20th century this was DANCE MUSIC. The recording was a smashing success.
If I ever get a lowrider, I wanna roll down the streets with this song playing
Cruisin' right there wit ya bruh
I run a 1991 Vintage Trolley. It's a lowrider in it's own right.
Your gonna need a 68 camaro aswell
1999 Mazda Miata convertible in a college town then down the Blue Ridge parkway...volume set on Stun 😆
@@OfficialStereoKidI wouldn't mind having a 2nd gen Camaro as well 👌🏿
The Drummer is on fire with how meticulous he is in command with such a snare! Great recording.
The organ is in full command of this one musically, the drums always provide the bones but here a nice straight spine is all that's needed. It takes more discipline to play this after learning to play far more complex and "commanding" drums. That's the beauty in the drums here. He's following but providing the very road for the others to walk on from behind somehow, so in that sense he is still commanding or conducting. I found it amazing someone admires this drumming!!!!
@@ManiacDrummer1212 and Al Jackson Jr is playing fours on the ride, whilst following the bassline on the kick...not easy!!
Absolutely love drummers. Yummy 😘🌱♏🌺♍🌱😘
Al Jackson was a legend. A human metronome. RIP.
And we love you❤@@naudianeels1328
Hot rods, summer nights, cruisin, my youth, better days, all come to mind.
One of the most popular tunes ever! Like it so much! 👍🏻👍🏻
This is quintessential cruising music. You put it on repeat and roll out. Nothing better.
"Aw, my, my. Green Onions. Keeps the vampires away, ya understand" - Wolfman Jack
This was cruisin' music, still is
I always play this whenever my buddies and I are planning to pull a big score.
I'm 42 and my generation had a lot of good music ,but nothing moves you like this!!👍
My favorite bit in college was picking this for karaoke and pretending I didn't know it's an instrumental. It took people a minute to catch on but it was a good laugh every time
Never knew green onions could sound so good.
The Sandlot brought me here ⚾️
We used to dance on that song when I was a little girl it's 2019 and I'm Still rocking it👍
ok boomer
Cool
That one random kid that no one knows ok zoomer
Yeah
You go girl
As kids we mastered this (to a degree) on the piano by heart. I can still play it.
That's very cool.
Do a tutorial! None of the ones I can find sound right!
Learned it on a baby grand, then a Hammond B2. I mostly play my desk these days. :(
I was about 12 and used to go to a local disco.I am now 57.just love it.timeless.
Saw them play this live in Toronto in '93, with Anton Figg on drums. By the end of the first few bars of this song, there was already a young, stoned girl on stage dancing. Eddie Floyd was there to sing a few awesome tunes with BT&MGs backing. Such a fantastic night seeing these musical legends play. RIP Duck.
This was my go to album for winding down after a 12 hour shift..
THE SANDLOT BABY!
If you don't luv this music, you ain't got no soul.
I love this too and I'm 72 as well. We had some pretty cool music as young lads. This is one of those songs that never ages.
That Hammond B3 organ kills!
I love 60s music
The 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and any of 2000s were the best years.
Never get tired of it….
This music goes way back. It totally rocks. This what’s its about. Chilling with some cool blues!
Booker T was 17 when he recorded this. I could play this at 17, but not come up with it! truly talented!
July 16th, 2020 and I'm listening to this on my birthday for my dad who's in heaven. Ulford Jenkins sr. Also known as Tiny Jenkins. ❤🙏🏽 I love you pops
learning this song in my music class its fun to play
My ringtone for over 12 years
OMG! My brother ABSOLUTELY loved this,sadly passed away soooo reminds me of him. Remember him buying the album and that's a long long time ago.
This has been my favorite song.
How are you doing Tina?
Work all week, finally it's Friday. I come home and put on this song while I lean back in my chair. It's all I need to wind down.
I absolutely love to see my grandma and her brother dance to this ❤️❤️😂
This song plays whenever I enter a room. I have achieved the ultimate evolution.
Nostalgia of my childhood watching the sandlot over and over lol
I never flip the station when I hear that song. A true classic.
I love to watch them play
This was my Daddy's favorite song "Green Onions" Whenever I hear this I can feel him close to me. I love u Daddy, continue to rest eternally. 6/7/23😇🕊💙🙏🏽
Great song! I remember hearing it as a child. The song Green Onions, or any mention of Booker T & the MGs always makes me think of my Uncle Lanny - he's now rocking' in the Great Beyond. What a guy! 💕
I will always associate this song with baseball and it does have a nice ballpark feel to it
Still dancin to this masterpiece after all these years. 💗 Keep on dancin no matter how old you get these songs keep us young.
A true classic. I remember when my Dad would pop that 8 track in and blast this song.
Ever cry from a song cuz it’s so good and makes you so happy? I do and this song hits just like that
