The part "Time keeps on slippin' " is also sampled in EPMD's "You're a customer" from their album "Strictly business". It may sound familiar from there.
Asia and BJ, Their "Jet Airliner", "Swingtown" and "Junglelove" are next for you!! They were a hit machine back n the day! edit- This song was used in 1996 movie Space Jam, and 1978 movie FM.
Your saving grace, Going to the country, kow kow calqulator, going to Mexico,never kill another man, my dark hour, journey from Eden. Plus a bonus of their version of motherless children
Asia, you are right. It was in Space Jam (1996) but was sung by Seal. Please do "Take The Money And Run" next. Much better than Abracadabra. Also, "Jet Airliner", "Jungle Love", "Rock N' Me", and "Swing Town" would be better by them as well. "Abracadabra" is a good song, but his earlier work was much better. Thanks and God Bless
Steve Miller Band dropped a trio of monster hits in 1976 -- "Fly Like an Eagle", "Take the Money and Run", "Rock'n Me" -- that more or less ruled FM rock radio for the rest of the seventies. I was still a kid but I remember always hearing this on the radio along with "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas, "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner, and "Hotel California" by The Eagles. Looking up the dates of those songs, that means "Fly Like an Eagle" was still in heavy rotation on the radio well into 1977!
This brings back memories and feelings of the 70s. Wearing jeans that my mom embroidered flowers on, my aunt wearing her leather vest with the fringe to her knees, my dad looked cool in his striped polyester leisure suit with shiny white shoes to match, my mom carrying her macrame purse with the big wooden handles, cruising in our red/white/blue Bicentennial Edition Chevy Nova to get a pizza burger at the Tastee Freeze. The whole 🌎 moving forward with America leading the way. 🇺🇸 There were tough times for sure, but we were full of hope for the future 🙏.
Yep, your description closely matches mine, minus your dad's suite and the Bicentennial Nova 😁. We had a yellow station wagon with the "wood" panels, lol!
On the album, this song segues into "Wild Mountain Honey", a different but equally cool song. In fact, the whole Fly Like An Eagle album is stellar. Steve Miller is vastly underrated as both a Guitarist and Vocalist. He's been at it since the 1960's, and still going strong.
The beep sound at the end was a typical sound of the earliest satellites like Sputnik as they broadcast a signal back to earth signifying when we were 1st slipping into the future space age
All most midnight hear, just did 2 of your reactions back to back, Floyd, money.. & Steve Miller fly like an eagle,, with these I just close my eyes & drift back in time.. Not so easy when you stop / pause & flap your gums, but that's what 98% of reactions are.. 😉👍👍
In addition to hearing the cover in Spam Jam, everyyybody has heard this because the United States Postal Service used this song in a long ad campaign when they rebranded themselves with new logo and mail options back in the 90's.
Think the song is a celebration of America, what it is, and what it could be. "Fly like an eagle (America)" and "Right through the revolution (the American Revolution). No surprise this came out in 1976, our country's bicentennial.
It is amazing that the BiCentennial was such a huge thing and now is virtually forgotten...Corporate marketing has genuinely reduced the past to a junkpile of meaningless lives and stupid irrelevant things in their mission to sell us the newest and greatest .
I love The Steve Miller Band. The Joker (that you did last week) is my favorite, but there are so many other great hits for you to hear if you haven't already. Great reaction, thanks! -Joni
Space Jam was what I thought of too the first time I heard this haha. Although it was a cover by "Seal" for that version. This one is by far better..so great.
Stevie "Guitar" Miller was godson of Les Paul, the INVENTOR of the electric guitar. Les Paul was a family friend when they lived in Dallas, Tx. Les Paul taught Steve Miller to play chords on the guitar.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin-born rock star Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band had a childhood any other musician would die for: Les Paul was his godfather and taught him to play guitar. ... Paul and Miller's father met at Fazio's in Milwaukee in 1948, where Paul and his wife, Mary Ford, were creating a show to take to New York.
HEY YOU GUYS! :) SO A COUPLE OF BIG HIT SONGS FROM THIS ALBUM ( FLY LIKE AN EAGLE ) WERE : TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, ROCK'N ME, AND BIG RADIO HITS FROM HIS NEXT ALBUM ( BOOK OF DREAMS ) WERE : JUNGLE LOVE, JET AIRLINER :) STAY WELL
Another flawless album without a bad song... Stevie guitar is a keeper.. He said in an interview one time that he returned home from a tour and found a 30K check in his mailbox.. He had this album rolling around in his head so he took a year off and recorded this album and Book of Dreams..
Hey, Asia, that beeping at the end is a frequency beacon. It was used in radio communications to help find and lock on on a frequency for synchronizing terminal equipment or to simply find the frequency if nobody is transmitting.
Yeah so cool you know other people reacted and they didn't have that one part at the end the synthesizer and that little beeping noise that's a beacon just like the one space probe that they sent out many many many years ago and it was called The Eagle and it went out and Rendezvous doll the different planets like Jupiter and Saturn and all the way to Pluto and all that I miss that little pulse is sent to the Houston Command Center so that was cool I'm glad you heard that cuz that's really important when you hear this song okay kids good one there
Someone probably already mentioned it, but you probably heard Seal’s version of this song in Space Jam. So might as well react to “Seal - Fly Like An Eagle” at some point.
This song was usually played on the radio with a short synthesizer introduction called "Space Intro". It was a little over a minute long, and flowed nicely into this song. In my opinion, the two songs should always be played together.
In this time of masterful pop rock song construction, one can hear the rich variations in drum rhythms with specific cymbals and tuned heads to set the mood, along with variations in the volume of the organ. These things and many more are what made these songs pull feelings out of you that you didn't know you had. This was a day when the instruments took the stage on par with the voices, and the whole synthesis became something far greater than its individuals parts.
You should dig into his older stuff. Wild Mountain Honey, Dance dance dance, living in the USA. He's got a lot of great songs that I think a lot of people forgot about.
Ohhh yes Asis & BJ, the Steve Miller Band was a great choice. Today is my birthday and I am spending at least part of it rockin' the day away with you guys. You all bring back the best memories for me and so many others as you discover for the first time all this classic music. Peace and Love to ya. ;-) ;-) ;-)
Abracadabra, Jet Airliner, Jungle love are all fantastic. You might try a side step to the J Geils Band for Freeze Frame. A group that has a bit of the same feel.
We love our Steve Miller in NorCal Late 1980s Spartan stadium San Jose California $150,000 people packed in 100° weather $150,000 people dancing in unison to every freaking song
This song is dope!! So many have sampled this song in EVERY genre of music in some way!! Seal did an excellent cover of this on his first album (i thonk it was his first album
You're not old enough to recognize the beeps at the end, that sound was in the communications between NASA ground control and the astronauts in flight during the APOLLO space program.
Thank you Asia&BJ, I love your videos. For Steve Miller Band. Wild Mountain Honey- emotionally themed song with a lot of electronic sounds similar to this but different . The Stake- sick groove, thick guitar, heavy lyrics. Jet Airliner(full version not radio edit)- emotionally themed banger. Swing town- fun song, great vocals, an almost magical electronic melody
Just dive deep with Steve Miller. I think you'll like all of their songs. I hope you do Jungle Love next and soon enough Wild Mountain Honey, and Wintertime. There's a lot of great songs awaiting you two. Enjoy and Peace out
Seal did a remake of this song in 1997...that may be where youve heard it from. My sister had this album when i was 6 in 1976 and I wore the shit out of it...also glad you listened to the album version instead of the radio edit 👏👏👏👏
One of my favorite albums, I was 16 when this first came out...it was always, very close to the turntable...glad your diggin' Steve Miller...Rock ON!!!

Its one of those songs that, the first time you hear it, you understand why its been on the radio for almost 50 years! 😎
Steve's message resonates big-time nearly fifty years later.
The part "Time keeps on slippin' " is also sampled in EPMD's "You're a customer" from their album "Strictly business". It may sound familiar from there.
Asia and BJ, Their "Jet Airliner", "Swingtown" and "Junglelove" are next for you!! They were a hit machine back n the day! edit- This song was used in 1996 movie Space Jam, and 1978 movie FM.
Livin In The USA.

He and his band were awesome before then. Pretty much check out the songs referenced in Joker.
"Jungle Love" is a great song---no kidding, they were a hit machine!!
Better off playing living in the USA our space cowboy
Love any of their songs!
*OMG ITS A SAMPLE IN THE GREATEST 80S RAP SONG EVER! BIZ MARKIE'S "NOBODY BEATS THE BIZ!!!"*
I saw him open for the gratefuldead. I'll never forget. Wish you two could of been there.
The song was in Space Jam, but it wasn't Steve Miller that performed it in the movie. Instead, it was a cover version by Seal.
ONE of the BEST jams of the 70's.
Ohhhh Asia with the hair, looking gooooooood !!!
Asia, you are right. It was in Space Jam (1996) but was sung by Seal. Please do "Take The Money And Run" next. Much better than Abracadabra. Also, "Jet Airliner", "Jungle Love", "Rock N' Me", and "Swing Town" would be better by them as well. "Abracadabra" is a good song, but his earlier work was much better. Thanks and God Bless
Agreed! Anything from Book of Dreams is killer!
Abracadabra is some serious "C Minus" material from them,
Totally agree. Also, "Livin' in the USA" and "Space Cowboy".

Not to forget 'The Joker'
FYI Steve's godfather is none other than Les Paul, who gave him and taught him to play guitar. Absolutely fantastic.
Along with Fleetwood Mac "Go Your Own Way' and Al Stewarts "Year of the Cat "
Hairs on point Asia 😍
Love your energy..lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸
The late great Les Paul was Steve's godfather and Steve started out in a band with the only and only Boz Scaggs
Another Great one. Thanks, and it was covered in Space Jam
Just wanna say keep on rockin! From Cleveland, TX✌🤘
Thx! “Dance, dance, dance” is a foot stomper!

There were tough times for sure, but we were full of hope for the future 🙏.
Rockin the bell-bottoms, long hair, slight heels on zip-up dress boots and leather jacket … lol I was a cool teen
Awesome.
Yep, your description closely matches mine, minus your dad's suite and the Bicentennial Nova 😁. We had a yellow station wagon with the "wood" panels, lol!
courdaroy bell bottoms going zip zip zip :p
Very cool Julie. Love the way that you gave such a vived description of those days. Aww yes, the memories we had. ;-) ;-) ;-)

I like the opening line of this song "Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future..."
It actually says that very same line at one point later in the song too. You have to listen carefully for it though or you might miss it.
@@ckobo84 oh, I know it does, just like it as an opening line.
there is an intro to this song called Space Intro. The two songs are meant to be combined and listened to together
Just like "Threshold / Jet Airliner"
All most midnight hear, just did 2 of your reactions back to back,
Floyd, money.. & Steve Miller fly like an eagle,, with these I just close my eyes & drift back in time..
Not so easy when you stop / pause & flap your gums, but that's what 98% of reactions are.. 😉👍👍
Now you should listen to Jamiroquai, as they do 90s and early 2000s homage to Steve Miller, like "Return of the Space Cowboy"
In addition to hearing the cover in Spam Jam, everyyybody has heard this because the United States Postal Service used this song in a long ad campaign when they rebranded themselves with new logo and mail options back in the 90's.
Asia , your hair is fire.

You look beautiful, Asia! Love your new style.
Great reaction. Asia love your hair❤🎵🎵
Space Jam was what I thought of too the first time I heard this haha. Although it was a cover by "Seal" for that version.
This one is by far better..so great.
Listen to "Wild Mountain Honey"...just relax and vibe out to it

Stoner song!! 🥳😜
Talk about time slippin into the future, here we are decades later, what's changed as referenced in that song?
Sad. But a banger!! 🥳
In the winter time is a great song 😊
HEY YOU GUYS! :) SO A COUPLE OF BIG HIT SONGS FROM THIS ALBUM ( FLY LIKE AN EAGLE ) WERE : TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, ROCK'N ME, AND BIG RADIO HITS FROM HIS NEXT ALBUM ( BOOK OF DREAMS ) WERE : JUNGLE LOVE, JET AIRLINER :) STAY WELL
Seal covered this song about 15-20 years ago. It's also been in numerous tv commercials, tv shows, and movies.
One of my favorites songs as a young’en….9-12 yr old! What a great reaction yall
Mine too, riding the Schwinn stingray or my skateboard holding a transitor radio ✌️😎🎶🤘👍💯
These guys….ok- Asia love the hair. ❤️🎼❤️ 70’s good…have fun! 🤘😎🔥
Probably my all time favorite SMB song.
He opened for Grateful Dead at their shows in Vegas back in the early '90's. Awesome!
Jungle Love is my favorite song of theirs:)
Most definitely was in space jam hahah thats so cool u remembered
It's heartening to hear this song is still very cool, and it wasn't just all the drugs I was on back then 😂
“ Keep Rockin Me Baby” by them!
Great song! Asia, I love your hair!!!
Plz do "Take The Money and Run" which was sampled by Run DMC and Everlast cover. Abracadabra is a visually stunning video. Awesome reaction guys.
jungle love is another great song by him
Simply an amazing, timeless song!
Another flawless album without a bad song... Stevie guitar is a keeper.. He said in an interview one time that he returned home from a tour and found a 30K check in his mailbox.. He had this album rolling around in his head so he took a year off and recorded this album and Book of Dreams..
Hey, Asia, that beeping at the end is a frequency beacon. It was used in radio communications to help find and lock on on a frequency for synchronizing terminal equipment or to simply find the frequency if nobody is transmitting.
Yeah so cool you know other people reacted and they didn't have that one part at the end the synthesizer and that little beeping noise that's a beacon just like the one space probe that they sent out many many many years ago and it was called The Eagle and it went out and Rendezvous doll the different planets like Jupiter and Saturn and all the way to Pluto and all that I miss that little pulse is sent to the Houston Command Center so that was cool I'm glad you heard that cuz that's really important when you hear this song okay kids good one there
The beeping at the end was actually a recording error in the studio but it it fit so well into the fadeout that they left it in.
Their greatest hits album is a must own 😉
Asia the new do is so cute on you! I really like it!
I have to say this whole album is a great album. Dance Dance Dance, Look Thru The Window two great songs from this album
This is America and I love Asia! 😍🙂
What a classic!!!
Let’s see the dog! Great reaction.
Someone probably already mentioned it, but you probably heard Seal’s version of this song in Space Jam.
So might as well react to “Seal - Fly Like An Eagle” at some point.
Aaron Neville did this song too ... that was a great album too!
This song was usually played on the radio with a short synthesizer introduction called "Space Intro". It was a little over a minute long, and flowed nicely into this song. In my opinion, the two songs should always be played together.
"The Stake" and "Wild Mountain Honey" are my favorite Steve Miller Band songs.
Both are some deeper tracks by the Steve Miller Band
Mine too!!😊
Brilliant. Miller's best music is in his first two albums
In this time of masterful pop rock song construction, one can hear the rich variations in drum rhythms with specific cymbals and tuned heads to set the mood, along with variations in the volume of the organ.

This was a day when the instruments took the stage on par with the voices, and the whole synthesis became something far greater than its individuals parts.
I'm so happy you're reacting to classics! '75 baby
❤🔥🎶
I think there's a TV commercial or two that use short clips of this. May have heard it there.
You should dig into his older stuff.
Wild Mountain Honey, Dance dance dance, living in the USA. He's got a lot of great songs that I think a lot of people forgot about.
Ohhh yes Asis & BJ, the Steve Miller Band was a great choice. Today is my birthday and I am spending at least part of it rockin' the day away with you guys. You all bring back the best memories for me and so many others as you discover for the first time all this classic music. Peace and Love to ya. ;-) ;-) ;-)
The ending leads into the song “Jet airliner” …which is definitely worth checking out.
"Jet Airliner" is on Steve Miller's the next album (1977 Book of Dreams)
Wrong album buddy!
@@Saboteur709 Rxactly! A great album.
Glad you picked this song. This is my favorite Steve Miller Band song.
check out his song - serenade, it's a classic. in fact you should check out his greatest hits 1974 - 1978, every song's a classic.
“Jet Airliner” next please- 💖💙✌️👍
Back in the late 80s, this song was used by the United States Postal service for their advertisements.
Abracadabra, Jet Airliner, Jungle love are all fantastic.
You might try a side step to the J Geils Band for Freeze Frame. A group that has a bit of the same feel.
Asia is looking Fly!! Love your hair!
We love our Steve Miller in NorCal
Late 1980s Spartan stadium San Jose California $150,000 people packed in 100° weather
$150,000 people dancing in unison to every freaking song
A huge hit back in the mid 1970’s. Over time I have listened to the song I understand the lyrics so much better!
Thank you, Thank you.!!! My favorite. Full version. Loving the hi lights Asia. Appreciate BJ.
Legendary era of Steve Miller. Memories.....music was so good back then.
Great reaction to The Steve Miller Band, Fly Like An Eagle, a great band in the 70s. React to more Steve Miller Band please. Thank you.
This song is dope!! So many have sampled this song in EVERY genre of music in some way!! Seal did an excellent cover of this on his first album (i thonk it was his first album
Seal did this song for the soundtrack to the movie Space Jam (1996).
SNLLive version of this one is great. Neville Brothers covered this brilliantly.
You're not old enough to recognize the beeps at the end, that sound was in the communications between NASA ground control and the astronauts in flight during the APOLLO space program.
I knew the beeps sounded familiar!!!!! Lol
The organ/electric piano (whatever it is: the KEYS) rocks in this song.
Ahhh, Our cool blue eyed soul brothers. Our blue eyed brothers were on it. That organ in there still makes ME get goosebumps
Thank you Asia&BJ, I love your videos.
For Steve Miller Band.
Wild Mountain Honey- emotionally themed song with a lot of electronic sounds similar to this but different .
The Stake- sick groove, thick guitar, heavy lyrics.
Jet Airliner(full version not radio edit)- emotionally themed banger.
Swing town- fun song, great vocals, an almost magical electronic melody
When you mentioned "Abracadabra" by SMB. It reminds me of "Hypnotized" by Fleetwood Mac in which Lynsy Buckingham sang lead.
Funkiest Roland SH 2000 ever. Complete the 70's groove with Wild Mountain Honey. 🤠
ARP Odyssey on this track.
Seal did a version of this song which was the one used in Space Jam.
Steve Miller Band was so good back in the 70s, this song was played on Black radio stations!!
Seal does a version of this song from the Space Jam movie. Seal does a great version and it’s a must reaction to do
Just dive deep with Steve Miller. I think you'll like all of their songs. I hope you do Jungle Love next and soon enough Wild Mountain Honey, and Wintertime. There's a lot of great songs awaiting you two. Enjoy and Peace out
I have this one on vinyl still and gave it a spin a few weeks ago... great title track from a great record... thanks for the reaction!
The drums on this song get me every time, such sweet taps and groove
Indeed
The great Gary Mallaber.
Seal did a remake of this song in 1997...that may be where youve heard it from. My sister had this album when i was 6 in 1976 and I wore the shit out of it...also glad you listened to the album version instead of the radio edit 👏👏👏👏
One of my favorite albums, I was 16 when this first came out...it was always, very close to the turntable...glad your diggin' Steve Miller...Rock ON!!!
Oh wow I haven't heard this song in forever 🎶 😭 This is so deep 😢 we had the best music 🎶 70s
