Don’t worry, they’re appreciated by my generation (I’m 28 so whichever generation that is). This is the cornerstone of my Rock playlist, along with several Stones tracks
Loved this song when it was released those long years ago in the summer of 1972. It's closing in on 50 years old and it still sounds better than 98% of the trash we're tortured with today.
How in the hell could anyone be so creative to ever come up with lyrics like this??? This song is so unique and amazing. You know a song is a one of a kind when it can’t be covered by anyone.
Who could thumbs down this song? An absolute rock classic! That guitar sound hasn't been replicated on ANY other songs to the best of my recollection. Love it!
My dad never liked rock and roll but he new good music. He was always listening to jazz and general classics. He used to say to me, "have you heard the hollies they do great stuff". Unfortunately it wasnt till after his passed in 2017 I looked into it and found this badass song straight off the bat. Wow, so much we could have shared. We didn't connect much except through music, and one night I was strumming my guitar and singing Sunday Morning Coming Down. I remember his eyes lighting up reminising and in disbelief. We both sang the song word for word and both shed tears. Amazing priceless moment. Went a bit off track there 😃
It was 1990, I was 19, my Dad would have this song playing. I remember completing my tree planting contract. There I was in Timmins Ontario with three thousand dollars and watching the women dancing at the old Mattagami. The announcer asked what was the name of the band playing. People twice my age guessed, and couldn't name the group. I remember a person saying CCR. It does sound like that voice. I yelled THE HOLLIES !. YUUP! got a free beer. Man I love this song. Play it again Sam!
Clint McLeod I was 18 in 1992 working as a laborer in Glenville Georgia building Smith State prison making 300.00 a week, I had jet black hair down to my shoulders and I happen to be 5 foot 9 inch tall man, I saved my money all spring to afford a 1971 smoke grey 400 cubic inch 3 speed automatic with a 3.90 12 bolt rear end Pontiac G.T.O found a good friend by the name of Sam Kramer that summer who smoked weed like it was his religion. My Goat had a factory installed 8 track and blown speakers to boot and we would listen to this song over and over while toaking on a fat one and just cruse the back roads , I lived dazed and confused south Georgia style, joining the army in 96 and did 11 years never forgetting who I was and the pure joy of growing up in the 80s and 90s listening to the 70s
I Eradicate wild-hogs here in Central Florida and,, I play this jam in my Jacked up golf cart running Thermal imagery and a Nasty Semi-automatic rifle dropping hogs like picking berries...
I'm sorry, I loved songs like Badfingers Baby Blue, the Hollies Long Cool Woman, and Patty Smith Because the Night, but remember the 70's was also disco and AOR music. I am of this era being born in 1960 and I look back at 1988 thru about 2004 as being far superior in music quality. Just my opinion.
I'm 68 years old and this is the first time I've seen the words to this song. Always liked the song even when I had no idea what the words were. I guess it's the beat that I liked.
As an old guitarist from years ago - the intro riff to this song is not only memorable it is TOTALLY SUPERB. The arthritis has ended my guitar days I try to play a bit of keyboards now but we still have songs like this to listen to!!
Hey @scopex2749! If I were you, I would try the carnivore diet. I have heared multiple people with your condition that it made their condition much better. Maybe within a year or 3 you could start to play the guitar again. The net is full of bs information. I personally would look at what Mikaela Peterson has already shared on this topic as she is a genetic disaster, yet she was able to find a way to manage her condition. I hope this helps!
+Mama Jacqueroo HI Mama, I bet you are still some hot lady and this song is truly about you ,and girls like you . Good luck to you.Yes youth is sweet but the best wines are matured.
I think this is my favorite song when I get to play on acoustic guitar so I would play it back to back when I'm drunk and then I go to Nancy sinatra these boots are made for walking try it excellent mood stabilizer thanks for your comments keep rocking
I love how every single time I’ve EVER pulled this up on UTube it INSTANTLY plays with no ads!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you from this poor Covid surviving just got a job after losing mine 1 year ago!!!! Was there 20 years!!!! Anyway!!!! Thank you RUclips and whoever makes THIS happen!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Lisa-LRAR
I am 67 and still love the songs and bands of that era too. When I hear songs like this I remember the girl I had a crush on and unfortunately never asked out.
So do I, and they are all gigging these days. Saw The Hollies last Sunday, seen Slade and Sweet every December. Try em, they are brill. Best to be in standing area.
I used to play in a bar band, we played many bars & clubs in the mid 70s.This song was requested so many times that we were forced to learn it, & I’m glad we did. We played it as our last song of the night & I got a lot of girls after the gig. Thank you Hollies for recording the best pick-up song ever! 🎶🍺💕👍
@@davidBarrel Yo David, you’re right about the intro, Allen Clarke sang & played lead guitar on that song. And we almost didn’t put the song in our set, until our lead guitar player figured out how to play the intro. He found out that Allen Clarke played a Gibson ES-345 guitar with the pick-up covers removed, our lead got the picking intro down in 2 days, but he couldn’t figure out how to get the sound until he heard about removing the pick-up covers & there it was & we did the song every night. Thanks for your comment, it took my down memory lane. 🎵🎶🎸🍺💕👍
So powerful !!!! The voice, the keyboard, the drums, the guitar, the bass guitar, every note seems to be perfect ! The most impressive thing to me, is the fact that everyone there was there for the pure golden music !!! I always have to listen to this with headphones, slightly on the high side, eyes closed and playing it twice !
I was a little guy in the early 70's when this came out. and immediately fell in love with it. For some reason I liked radio rock when I was little and that led me into the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) in the late 70' and to the Metal days of the 80's. Regardless of that, this song was a great piece of work for the time it was made in. The Hollies were awesome.
In 1972 while listing to this song in DC, actually working for the FBI, our supervisor would let us listen, on low volume, to a pop station. When this song was played we would always turn up the volume on the "FBI" words in the song. Mrs. L was a fine old lady. It was great to be young then, and right out of college.
The thumbs down icon doesn't count the number of people who didn't like the song. It measures the number of clueless, ignorant dipshits who listened to the song.
Dad used to jam this in the boat the second we hit the lake no matter if it was 2am or 2 in the afternoon. Music CARRIES on the water.Espescially with 4 sets of 6 by 9's! Which I thought was pretty cool in the late 80's, and I still do
The change in The Hollies' trademark sound on this record was their attempt to copy the swamp-rock sound of American artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival and Tony Joe White, and they did it perfectly.
when I end up in a care home suffering from dementia, please visit me, show me a hard copy of this screenshot and tell me it’s a photo of my wife. Thank you.
I remember this song well. It was a favorite in Vietnam where I was when it came out. The Hollies were a fantastic band and one of my favorites at the time.
It's in feet and inches. The type measurement came from Great Britain . The U.S. was suppose to convert over to the metric system about 50 years ago, but we haven't gotten around to it. ( really.) Possibly , because our lumber measurements were also in feet and inches. Carpenters of old age wouldn't be good at converting. The vertical upright used to build housing walls comes in 8 foot lengths, called studs, usually of pine. The "foot" part originated around the length of a man's foot. We still use "gallon " to buy and sell gasoline.
I been listening to this song most of my life and this is the first time I actually paid attention to the lyrics! This would make a GREAT Robert Mitchum movie c.1948!
Been jamming the this song since 1973. I was born 1969. My deceased grandmothers since 1973 s song. I love her. Gammy this song is for you beautiful. I love you

Crazy to think this song is 50 years old. Still sounds great.
If you were around in the 60s and 70s you'd be a believer.
Ik I'm just saying songs never age. This song still sounds fresh even after 50 years.
Crazy to believe I’m 50. I don’t sound as good as I use too. 🤓
The 70's were the real golden age of music. There was music and bands that will last forever. I was 30 when this first came out and I am 78 now.

Hey, speak for yourself. I love Rockapella's cover of it.
One has to give some credit to Creedence Clearwater Revival for coming up with the essence of the song a few years earlier ("Green River").
This was my Dad's song. I remember him listening to it when I was little and it is still an amazing song
This song was always cool but the lyrics make it better than cool... It's a screen play..
Fuck yes!!

Them hips. Whew. Them are baby-birthin' hips.
Difficult choice but given the fact that the song is still fresh and the girl presumably is older, I will go with the song.
originalpauper LOL! Good point
if you are thinking about her legs, you are going it wrong....
stuck on the back of her knee? lmao
Dad used to jam this in the boat the second we hit the lake no matter if it was 2am or 2 in the afternoon. Music CARRIES on the water.Espescially with 4 sets of 6 by 9's! Which I thought was pretty cool in the late 80's, and I still do
I love how RUclips is the closest thing to a time machine we have!!!
Like the simple crisp guitar, one of their best. Thanks for puttin' this on.
That's the spirit, get into the feel of it y'all . Gina Beck
The change in The Hollies' trademark sound on this record was their attempt to copy the swamp-rock sound of American artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival and Tony Joe White, and they did it perfectly.
andyinoregon It's because Graham Nash left and they needed to go in a different direction. He had written everything they had done.

Better run through the jungle, don't look back!
Been playing guitar for 35 years and still haven't mastered that "simple" intro, LOL.
Fantastic song.
Bravo, from a 78 year old fuddy-duddy who's loved this song for years. Nothin' like it.

One of hollies greats
What a great song
As a 5'11" girl in high school who never had many dates, this song made me feel better about myself, lol.
Susan Sirmons ill betcha for what you loss in altittude you make up for with ATTITUDE! Rock on sister!!!!
They don't know what they missed out on, ha ha!!!
Don't know why some guys find that intimidating. I see it as that much more to feast my eyes upon.
You should always feel good about yourself. You are in control.
Susan...be patient...don't settle...be picky...set your standards...
Great Job! Those lyrics are so hard to understand but you nailed it, with style. Thank you
I remember this song well. It was a favorite in Vietnam where I was when it came out. The Hollies were a fantastic band and one of my favorites at the time.
Specially for ignorant people like you. This is a copy of the 1969 "green river" from john forgerty. WORTHS STRASH!!!
Thanks for your service!
sorry I shouldn't be so rude!
Yes. I finished my second deployment when this was popular. For years I didn't understand the lyrics. Still loved it.
Bad ass song About 50yrs old still rocks da house
Yeah, if you really think about that... people rarely listened 50 year old poular music at 70s.
Thay do.

Gives me a Boner every time
Damian McLarney that’s flattering ! Juxta
Magnificent Masterpiece, the song & the girl
Timeless, there is NO other song, it's 2019 and there is NO other song that matches this perfect song!!!!!! Celebrate it!!!!!!!

Deze intro is de beste die er is je kunt er blijven naar luisteren het maakt al de negatieve ervaringen van je dag super en weer positief.
I hadn't heard this song in at least 10 years, maybe 20, but I've had it stuck in my head for a week lol Thanks for posting!!
Almost 2018 and still jamming the hollies
Shawn
They sure found the right photo for this song... WOAH!
Definitely
Amen to that brotha!
We certainly like what we like don't we? haha
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !! :-)
I just wish that whoever posted the picture had put her name up with the song.
Still gets this old fella tapping his feet and playing the “air drums”. Timeless…
# 2 in the summer of 72-A certifiable classic!
Now this is music
Good music.
Renee yes it is !
GAUX TIGERS
So right
Whenever I'm in a bad mood I listen to this song and look at this beautiful 5" 9" beautiful tall woman.
what does 5" 9" mean?__i'm Italian,sorry---------!!!!_____
5 feet + 9 inches, American way of measuring height.
It would be ~176cm in the metric system.
It's in feet and inches. The type measurement came from Great Britain . The U.S. was suppose to convert over to the metric system about 50 years ago, but we haven't gotten around to it. ( really.) Possibly , because our lumber measurements were also in feet and inches. Carpenters of old age wouldn't be good at converting. The vertical upright used to build housing walls comes in 8 foot lengths, called studs, usually of pine. The "foot" part originated around the length of a man's foot. We still use "gallon " to buy and sell gasoline.
The best intro ever . I don't know anyone who doesn't like this song. It sounds like it's from 1962. Brilliant.
It kind of is you know not far off! Crazy to think!
I been listening to this song most of my life and this is the first time I actually paid attention to the lyrics! This would make a GREAT Robert Mitchum movie c.1948!
I remember when this was on the jukebox when I was about 11 years old! Great song. Always turn it up when I hear it start playing!
Specially for ignorant people like you. This is a copy of the 1969 "green river" from john forgerty. WORTHS STRASH!!!
sorry I shouldn't be so rude!
Great song😊 The photo of this beautiful young lady...wow❤️
The most American sounding song ever recorded by a British group. Genius and a beautiful work of art (the song AND the girl :>)!
This is one of those songs that makes you feel cool.
Specially for ignorant people like you. This is a copy of the 1969 "green river" from john forgerty. WORTHS TRASH!!!
