Ja die 60er Jahre waren die schönsten In meinem Leben. Da gab es noch Musikgruppen und deren Musik ,welche man sich auch heute noch gerne anhört und ansieht. Super.
I was a teenager in the 70 s .Remember all Manfred Mann’s songs from my child hood.Its only when I’m older I can appreciate how good a band they were.When you were a child you knew the music but didn’t know who the bands were.
Hello ,my sentiments exactly ,when I was a kid I knew about them ,but now I'm old I realised what a quality band they are .If they were a Painter they would be like Van Gough
Music was great Music videos, not so much 😆 Judged in the 2020s this is so camp & amateurish it's laughable. I know the norm in those days was "doing the overbite shuffle with big hair and bellbottoms" but this... this is embarrassing.
Ich war damals 13, da fuhren wir nach Österreich und in einer Gaststätte wurde dieses Lied rauf und runter gespielt. Ich brauchte Jahrzehnte, bis ich kein Herzklopfen mehr bekam, wenn ich es hörte. Nun bin ich 63 und finde die Musik von damals immer noch klasse

And yet another great band from my youth.Loved this song used to drive my father insane playing and singing along with it all the time.We need these happy tunes to get us through 2020,bring them back...
I wish it was a time machine that stranded us in the 60s, I would of been so happy, especially if we knew what we would be facing in our present times.
Andrew Curtis So very true,we are being plagued by anxiety fuelled by Greedy dishonest politics. Just a handful of people wielding so much power. People listen to the lies that media drives through the internet. The Internet and Globalism could have been a very beautiful creation for everyone young and old but Greed has blighted this.
Immer wieder,seit fast 40 Jahren,bekomme ich Gänsehaut bei diesem Song. Manfred Mann hat ja auch sonst noch seeehr viele gute Songs,bei denen ich Gänsehaut bekomme.Seine Texte gehen nun mal einfach unter die Haut und mir tut jeder Mensch leid,der kein Englisch kann und nur die Melodie hört und nicht weiss,was er singt...
Yes, it is gone and was the best for music and art but while we lived it we didn't know that it wouldn't be surpassed. I always thought music would get better for example, but it got worse, much worse.
Oh my days, this fantastic song really evokes memories of when I was kid back in the sixties, and getting up on those cold and frosty mornings for school (UGH!), and this song really alleviated my school depression to a great extent.
Just been talking to paul jones (and his wife fiona) today and listening a bit about their life history how they met and stuff-really interesting and how they both came to faith in Christ--very moving and passionate well worth listening too if you get the chance.
One of my favourite Manfred Mann songs from the 1960s. But thinking about it, I loved just about all their songs from the 60s right through the Earth Band years and all. Fantastic band and Manfred knew how recruit talent, that's for sure!
Mike Hugg, the drummer, hated this song with a passion, said it was in the top five of the worst songs in the world, guess the little toy drummer on Manfreds Piano was in case he was a no show!
WOOOOOW!What a young splendid band!My favourite,excellent,legendary song & famous,fabulous melody by Manfred Mann!Makes me feel happy,be glad!Thanks!💖🌞🎙🎸🎸🎸🎶🥁🎹💖🌞💞💕💙😀👌👍✌👏🏼
Yeah! Grande banda britânica 60's ... magnífica canção. Amo de paixão Manfred Mann é umas das minhas bandas queridas, adoro todas as suas músicas, mas esta canção é daquelas que eu ouço sempre com o mesmo prazer de há 50 anos, faz parte da minha vida e das pessoas da minha geração, dancei tanto ao som desta linda música, faz- me viajar bem longe, aos tempos áureos da minha adolescência/juventude 🥰 Bons tempos ... belas recordações ! ❤🎤🎹🎸🎼✌🎧
Always reminds me of Manchester United clinching the championship in 1967 it was playing during half time when Grandstand were reporting from Upton Park i think United were 3 or 4 nil up at halftime and went on to win 6 - 1, great song.

Ha ha said the clown Has the king lost his crown, Is the night being tight on romance Is it bringing you down, That you've lost your chance Feeling low, gotta go See a show in town Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs Wonder why I hit the sky When she blows me a kiss In a while run a mile I'm regretting all this Time to go, close the show, Wave the people good-bye Grab my coat, grab my hat, Look that girl in the eye Where's your home, What's your phone number Stop fooling round Could have died she replied "I'm the wife of the clown"
I used to hear this one played on an old radio we used to have in the home when I was barely old enough to walk, would have been around '67 or '68 maybe, I always loved listening to all the music though and this 'Ha Ha Said The Clown' was amongst them, it's surreal seeing the chaps who sang it, Manfred Mann, they look like fresh faced students and I'll be gunning for the big 50 next year Lol, such is life, the irony :)
Manfred Man is simply one of the best and greatest - heavenly to hear the old number once again ----------- Manfred Man gehört einfach zu den besten und größten - himmlisch die alte Nummer wieder einmal zu hören

Excellente vidéo, jamais vue encore . Çà fait vraiment plaisir de la découvrir. Encore une des meilleures réussites de l'année 1967. C'est avec cette excellente chanson que j'ai découvert Manfred Mann, devenu plus tard M.M. Chapter Three, très orienté vers le jazz, puis M.M. Earth Band, jouant un excellent rock écologique, qui existe toujours maintenant, sauf erreur, après tant d'années.
Ha, Ha....I remember this tune and the video was played on American Bandstand or some other music show because I remember that too ! one of the many great songs of that era, I was 12 years old, 1967 !
Manfred Mann was of course renown for their song 'Do Wah Diddie' in the mid 60's, then later in '77 for the song 'Blinded By The Light' which reached no. 1 on The Billboard Hot 100. It was written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen, and included in his initial album release 'Welcome To Asbury Park' ('73).
I'm still stuck in this era
Best era 😊
And a great place it is to be in.
Not a bad place to be stuck in!
What a fantastic group they were.
Ja die 60er Jahre waren die schönsten In meinem Leben. Da gab es noch Musikgruppen und deren Musik ,welche man sich auch heute noch gerne anhört und ansieht. Super.
Dem kann ich nur zustimmen--TOLLE ZEIT UND TOLLE MUSIK----Unvergessen !!!

As soon as I hear this intro I'm transported back to my youth.
I think Manfred Mann were one of the best bands of the 1960's.
Yes
Music was great
Music videos, not so much 😆

Really fine song and super performance by Mike d'Abo. He deserves to be better known.
Agree , Mike was a great lead singer for MM
He is better known.
why? He was known and respected back in the day .
A decade like no other....the 1960's!! Wonderful,timeless music.
amen!! 60s and 70s music is so amazing 💝
Absolutely! I grew up in the '80's however I do think that the '60's was the best decade for music.
@@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826 i'm from the late 90s, but am very thankful to have parents who wouldn't really let me listen to anything else other than the classics LOL
Not timeless, my daughters think it's all horribly dated.

Ein cooler Song, welcher ganz
tief mit meiner Jugend verbunden ist stets in angenehme Erinnerung bleibt. ☀️
Singer Mike d' Abo is excellent, has a good voice, moves well on stage and is stylishly dressed and Manfred Mann is a great keyboard player, no wonder the group was one of the most succesful british bands in the 1960s.
I guest he was replaced afterwards?
I think MD'A was a better singer than Paul Jones. No offence
Great songwriter to wrote handbags and gladrags among lots of others
Paul Jones was the better singer in my opinion. He sang on most of their big hits. Listen to 'Pretty Flamingo'.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Mike d about sang many to semi detached suburban mr jame mighty quin fox on the run my name is jack just like a woman and many more
The drummer has complete control.. as with most bands… love it
Dat noemen we muziek! Upbeat en daarop kunnen we dansen ! Hou van mijn jeugd
It's music...
Haha said the former president of the USA..
And yet another great band from my youth.Loved this song used to drive my father insane playing and singing along with it all the time.We need these happy tunes to get us through 2020,bring them back...
Love this - as catchy as ever it was. Not every song has to be deep, serious or meaningful - sometimes they can just be fun!
Haha.... does to me today!
First thing that came to me after making a painting/ upcycle 'faux pas'...
Lol
Ha Ha.... I'm the Clown!!!
Not deep? Moral of the story: don't hit on a clown's wife!
Never stop clooning!
Great song , Manfred Mann are the Van Gough's of Music
Drummer looks pissed off
I was a child at that time. Unforgettable to me. Such a song!
Manfred Mann of The 60s are a Phenomenon of Pop Culture 💥
Hearing this record again is like a time machine for me.
Me too, it's like I can appreciate the 60s even more now, great we can re- watch and hear the music.
me too mate,,1967 i was 15yrs, starting my 1st job,sang along to this on radio
Good isn't it. :)
I wish it was a time machine that stranded us in the 60s, I would of been so happy, especially if we knew what we would be facing in our present times.

I was 17 and in the South African Army listened to this all the time. Still gets me going. Love it.🎉😊

J'écoute cette chanson depuis un demi siècle, avec toujours autant de plaisir...nostalgique !
Good pop song by Manfred Mann. The original version made it No.4 in Britain in late April 1967. Good catchy song, a good slice of 60s pop.
No 1 must have been Good
I remember this decade, like it was meant to be remembered , like a work of art, or a rare wine that never comes around again.
wow mate, i never rode a better description for a decade. just brilliant mr. harding. best regards.
Yes, it is gone and was the best for music and art but while we lived it we didn't know that it wouldn't be surpassed. I always thought music would get better for example, but it got worse, much worse.
dumbass
Got locked outside venue with this great band and met them all in person.
WHATTTTTTTTTT???????OMG THATS AWESOME.
Brilliant. We could and still appreciate talent. Good for another 60 years.
Oh my days, this fantastic song really evokes memories of when I was kid back in the sixties, and getting up on those cold and frosty mornings for school (UGH!), and this song really alleviated my school depression to a great extent.

Oh aye bundle of laughs ain't he.
You mean the little drummer I take it.
He might have been scared of heights.
Was für ein super Hit aus meiner Lehrzeit ! Vielen Dank Manfred Mann
the greatest era for music, thanks for this 60's post.
Songs you could sing along to. I am 64 years old.
I'm 34 and It will always be my era of music!
Exactly what I say too.
Maybe you would like to takeover my tv licence fee
Why take over your TV license if I have RUclips
Take me back to a time when we had real music....
If only we could turn back time
Can I come with you Magenta pleaseeeeeeee❤️
So many fantastic memories for me here from the 60s. Best music ever.

Ha ha
Outstanding. I am so glad I was alive in those days and that this was MY music!
One of the best hits in 1967 Manfred Mann no other
Easily one of the 10 best UK bands in the 1960s
those were the days... we are older now but we had the best music
1960's music the best ever.
Damn straight!
Good one, and that's right we did have the very best....of virtually everything.
Damn straight we did!
Not video games. Pong was futuristic for you lot. Though of course we haven't yet made a Barbarella game. Too complicated.
Classic from one of the best bands of that time!
People soon forget, should get much more air play.

One of my fave bands and this one of my fave songs
Thanx
Love this song and has done so ever since I heard it for the first time back in June 1967 when I was jus 5 years old.
Hello from Berlin, Germany, when i heard them first on the radio, it was like - whow - and still is :-)
a real classic and great song ,long live the 60's
Those of us how experienced those days are the lucky ones -ok we are old now but, don't we have some great times to look back too ...
dead right my friend it was a great fun time to be around
So right William
I'm oder than time. But I was there!
Fiatal korom egyik legjobb zenéje és zenekara ! De jó lenne ott tartani !!!
Ha ha said the clown
Has the king lost his crown,
Is the night being tight on romance
Is it bringing you down,
That you've lost your chance
Feeling low, gotta go
See a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies
In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow,
I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky
When she blows me a kiss
In a while run a mile
I'm regretting all this
Time to go, close the show,
Wave the people good-bye
Grab my coat, grab my hat,
Look that girl in the eye
Where's your home,
What's your phone number
Stop fooling round
Could have died she replied
"I'm the wife of the clown"
Love that minor feel of the verses and the chords in the background from the keyboard.
GREAT BAND.
Mike d'Abo's energy is amazing
I really this song, never get sick of it, good beat to it.
