Now that you've heard this song, you may want to (off air?) listen to John Fogerty's Old Man Down The Road. He wrote that after CCR broke up, but he didn't own rights to CCR's music, so the record label sued John Fogerty for plagiarizing his own work (Run Through The Jungle). Fogerty won that one.
Which Funk track for A&A ? Sly and Family Stone -" Thank You" James Brown - " Sex Machine" Curtis Mayfield. - "Pusher Man" Parliment Funkadelic - "P Funk Wants to Get Funked Up".
CCR has so many great songs. Your next should be GREEN RIVER It has catfish biting and barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight and everything. Classic CCR sound
@Nature and Physics I listen to tons of Little Richard. Considerably less Howlin Wolf. Neither of whom were from northern California. Sorry, I didn't understand what your comment was getting at. Was it meant to be a question?
@Nature and Physics Listening to TONS of Howlin Wolf and Little Richard is how a guy from northern California can get himself to sound so swampy. Gotcha. I suppose that could apply to Bob Seger as well. Except he's from Michigan.
@Nature and Physics That's not surprising. But still, there were a ton of singers back then who were influenced by Howlin Wolf and Little Richard. But compared to Fogerty, most of them just sounded like malnourished caucasians trying too hard. I can definitely hear the similarities between "Jungle" and "Smokestack Lightnin" (which in retrospect makes the plagiarism lawsuit between Fantasy Records and John Fogerty seem even more ridiculous).
@Nature and Physics It's hard to keep up that kind of singing when it's an affectation. Fogerty has a pretty average sounding speaking voice. Whereas Howlin Wolf's speaking voice sounded like he'd been gargling rocks every morning for the last 1000 years.
@@theycallmemcgyver Very interesting! I always knew it was about a clash with protesters, just not over a curfew. Could just as easily fit into the Nam naritive.

Guys! The AM-format radio “fade out” was necessary because programmers would not play songs that went over three minutes! The Beatles had to famously lie about the length of Hey Jude on the record label, so did the Righteous Brothers with You Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’. It wasn’t until FM-format radio came along that the 4-minute + songs with proper fade outs came along in the ‘70’s.
Brian Landis Ummm...FM radio came out late sixties. Jimmy Page knew this. That’s how Zeppelin I got air time...came out in December 1968. Now CCR got. Lots of AM radio play, where that still applied, in general, but there were exceptions made for huge artists...like The Beatles and Bob Dylan (Like a Rolling Stone). CCR got plenty of radio play on FM, so they could have easily made this song longer.
The first FM station that did that was KMPX, San Francisco, late '66. They were the pioneers of "underground radio". They only lasted until '68, when the DJs switched over to KSAN. The radio was so great you hardly needed a record player (but we had one anyway). The DJ's would teach you- going back to the origins of songs and styles. Epic.
@@blandis93312 My fuzzy memory agrees with you. I don't think that cars with FM radio as a standard option was even common until the mid '70s. I remember people having to buy an aftermarket accessory for FM radio in cars... usually via a J.C. Whitney catalog.
Can't say anything bad about Creedence! We all have our favorite songs from them, but they definitely have been part of my fabric in my life! Thank You ✌
Proud Mary would have been a much better choice. Run Through The Jungle is a good song, but it's not one of their greats. It's just a great background song. Not one that grabs you by the collar and demands your attention.
Origins of CCR? Polk Salad Annie by Tony Joe White m.ruclips.net/video/MCSsVvlj6YA/видео.html If you wanna see the origins of CCR, watch this b&w clip from the late 60’s. You get that swampy, bluesy funk with more mentions of gators 🐊 per verse. He “talks-sings” it briefly to explain the down-home lingo, then goes into the song. Fogerty experts claim blues and swamp-blues, Rockabilly and Southern-blues influences, like Carl Perkins, etc. But this song is the swamp music that even Elvis covered. The Rolling Stones also did a cover of a down-home song in 1965 that includes lyrics about “turnip greens” and “pork & beans” - “Down Home Girl.” m.ruclips.net/video/utFa1cidLcg/видео.html Watch for your own enjoyment. Not suggesting for channel. It’s more gravy than sauce but funky, wavy-gravy. 🤪
What "Dazed and Confused" is for Zeppelin, "Dream On" for Aerosmith, "Layla" for Eric Clapton and "Lola" for the Kinks, so too is "Suzie Q" for CCR. In fact, I don't think you should call yourself a true Credence fan until you've heard that song! It's also well worth your time to dig deep into their catalog, beyond all the hits: "Keep on Chooglin'", "Pagan Baby", "Ramble Tamble", and "Effigy" are a few highly recommended bangers that will definitely get you lost in the sauce. lol Also "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" is an epic masterpiece, and an absolute must-listen.
If you've seen _Apocalypse Now_ you've heard "Suzie Q". And tbh, it fits exactly in the pocket of what A&A were talking about, as a "standard CCR song" - very much like this one here. Not a _bad_ thing, but not groundbreaking either.
@@dwc1964 "Suzie Q" is a cover. I think it would be an insult to one of the greatest original rock bands in American history to say their "standard song" is merely a straight-forward cover of a song from a decade earlier. They would go on to do FAR better things. Their first album is their second worst, only after their last one.
@@-Ricky_Spanish- This is not "merely a straight-forward cover" of Dale Hawkins's "Oh! Suzie-Q".[*] It's a translation of that song onto the Creedence template. That's not a _bad_ thing, necessarily - it's just the thing that's happening here. * since you brought it up, I got a hankering to give it a listen after too many years since the last time, and that's the title on the record cover in the picture, which I'd never seen before.
@@dwc1964 Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great cover, but given the relative limited amount of songs we could realistically expect A&A to review, there are at least a dozen other CCR songs I would choose first. They just moved so quickly into their own thing that even the best of their earliest stuff was quickly overshadowed.
@@-Ricky_Spanish- Thanks for pointing that out! Perfect example of most being familiar with the clasic rock version not the original by a black Blues musician. Speaking off which lets gets done Blues soul and funk happening in this joint!!
CCR had the 'formula' and it was called JOHN FOGERTY! Wrote just about all their songs, vocals, guitar, harmonica, all around bad ass. Please react to CCRs 'Long As I Can See the Light' straight bluesy, nasty nasty vocals.. the best.
When Forgerty wrote this, a lot of people just assumed it was more about the Vietnam War, but it was his thoughts on America and the proliferation of guns. He said he was a hunter and he loved it but he felt like people were really gun happy and there was a lack of control over the buying and selling of them. He believed it was dangerous. Imagine that !!
I think this was a great choice. So many of their songs were over played on the radio, to the point that I still can’t listen to them. But not this one. Love it! Heard a song last night that I think you’ll love. Baby hold on, by Eddie Money.
Although my Generation is sick of overplayed Classic Rock songs, we're failing to understand that these Boys have never heard them ONCE! We're supposed to be taking care of these Boy's musical needs, Not our Own! For example these Boys haven't reacted to "One way Out" or by the Allman Brothers or "Call me the Breeze" by Lynyrd Skynyrd for that exact same reason. Now I ask you, HOW IN GOD'S NAME IS THAT POSSIBLE!! 🤣🤣
The intro really transports me into Vietnam. The heavily distorted rising tritone gives exactly the right feeling of danger coming from everywhere and a hot, sticky environment. It also reminds me of mosquitoes.
This song always felt to me like it was written for the troops in Vietnam. Fortunate Son has been used in countless movies and tv shows (for obvious reasons)on the Vietnam war but I've never heard this one. It seems like a no-brainer. I've often wondered why it was overlooked?
@@ericjahoda2997 I don't think he is saying Cinnamon girl is Neil's biggest hit but it is one of his songs that features the 🎸 more than most of his other songs.
This was a long sitting on for the day. You keep forgetting that radio required you to have a 23-minute song so they could have their sponsor commercial. That's just the way the industry was set up. The group's didn't really have a choice.
I've been after them for a "Low Spark" for quite a while! They've kind of danced around it with "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and then Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" but still no Spark! I've got a LONG list of Traffic favorites!
If you're feeling CCR's songs are too short, check out "Heard It Through the Grapevine" - a classic 11-minute jam! One I've actually heard in its full length on the radio multiple times, which is pretty unusual.
Song request: Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy. This guy influenced everyone. The Rolling Stones named themselves after one of his songs. He was an inspiration to Led Zeppelin Eric Clapton, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, the Allman Brothers.... the list goes on.
@@peterquinones3522 I agree. They have proclaimed many times their distain for the "Blues chord", which is so ironic because the Blues gave birth to Rock. lol
If you knew CCR they didn't stretch out their songs live. It was like playing the record. A 3 minute song would always be 3 minutes. The greatest American roots rock band
Pure Creedence. Which is pure John Fogerty. And yep, you’re gonna wish for more. That’s kinda the point. 👍 the Vietnam war was another dark era in US history. This song was part of the soundtrack. CCR always had an abundance of saucy licks. Just really good stuff that stays in the head and the heart. The depth of hooks is like ZZ Top. AC/DC also. Fogerty has always known how to set the hook. Some of John’s solo work would be a great corner on the road. Centerfield is a good album and the title cut will take you to a new place. And there’s Rock and Roll Girls. As always, you guys set the standard. Cheers 🥃
My God, they had so many great songs. I was young but remembered them all. Great to see a new generation enjoying. Now where are the new generation songs like this?? Nowhere but I know there is a lot of talent.
Let’s see, you’ve done “Bungle in the Jungle” and “Run Through the Jungle.” How about Bruce Springsteen’s “Jungleland”? Or “Jungle Love” by the Steve Miller Band? Or ELO’s “Jungle”? Or Kool & the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie”? I’m sure you already know GnR’s “Welcome to the Jungle.” That would be one bangin’ jungle playlist.
CCR has so many classics. Definetly check out Down on the Corner, Up and Around The Bend, Long As I Can See The Light, or honestly any of their other stuff
CCR is just one of those break the mold type of bands, that made timeless classics...like Beatles, Stones, Doors, Zep, Pink F, Yes...and the 60s and 70s were magical times for music...
If you want grit, try “Travelin’ Band” and “Suzy Q”. Honestly, CCR has an incredible library, and you could spend the next month doing exclusive CCR and still not get all of them. When I first started listening to CCR, I binged album after album. Not sure how you guys restrain yourselves...
This was my grandpa’s favorite song. He survived ‘nam but lost to cancer. Going through his things there was a cd with his name and a heart in it. This was the first song on the cd. Been playing it on loop. Love you guys for covering it.
To me "Ramble Tamble" the opening track of this album is their greatest song. It's a 7 minutes song with a phenomenal instrumental part. A masterpiece !
This became a Vietnam theme song but John Fogerty said it was written about gun control and the proliferation of guns in America at the time (1970) which was one for every man, woman and child, hence the the verse "two million guns are loaded"
When I was 14 years old in 1970 I was given some money for my birthday and used it to buy Cosmos Factory and Led Zeppelin 2. The first two albums I ever bought. I still love and still listen to both of them.
No doubt. It has been in my collection since I scored it when I was a young lad, with my old man stationed in germany. I still have that German version album cover. Can't read a lick of it, but it's definitely a conversation piece!
I was 13 or 14 when my brother got out of the Army back in '70. He gave me this album. Every song is a banger to me. I literally wore this one out. Cosmos Factory is a work of art.
in a 2016 interview, Fogerty explained that the song is actually about the proliferation of guns in the United States. The thing I wanted to talk about was gun control and the proliferation of guns... I remember reading around that time that there was one gun for every man, woman and child in America, which I found staggering. So somewhere in the song, I think I said, '200 million guns are loaded.'
*Guess Who* isn't going to win the poll. Please consider *Bachman Turner Overdrive* 🎸🎸🎸 "Sledgehammer" and "Not Fragile" are hardest rockers Also "Taking Care of Business" "Let it Ride" "You Ain't seen Nothing Yet" All the way down to jazzy "Blue Collar" "Looking Out for #1" 🐮🔔🐮🔔🐮🔔
How do you not smile when listening to CCR? What a great band! Guitarist??? Jeff Healey. Artist first on your channel? Tom Waits. What an incredible lyricist. This CCR song IS a long song live.
Live version of "Keep On Chooglin" also many great songs and I recommend "Looking Out My Backdoor", "Fortunate Son", "Hey Tonight", "As Long As I Can See The Light", Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and "Who Will Stop The Rain" just to name some!
You're not film majors, but man! If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, and appreciate this song set in the era of it's time, you really aught to watch Apocalypse Now... I mean, it's a wild "smell of naypalm in the morning, you either surf or fight, and NEVER get out of the boat" kind of ride, you'll never forget.
So far, songs with the word jungle in the title have not disappointed on this channel Lol. I would say this one’s an A- for me. Keep the good tunes coming. Whenever it may come though, I’m still looking forward for a Kansas follow up.
Checking out some more CCR! Make to vote in this week’s poll, picking a new guitarist for us to get into!! Cheers guys have a great weekend! 🙌🏻🔥
For some haunting, awesome guitar, please consider Neil Young - Cortez the Killer

"Ya got tah hahhhdee hahh!!" 😂😂😂 Fogerty's vocals always bring me back to that - no matter what song he sings! ("Old Man Down The Road")
If you knew CCR they didn't stretch out their songs live. It was like playing the record. A 3 minute song would always be 3 minutes. The greatest American roots rock band
Been listening to CCR since the late 60's...never got tired of them !!!
Time for some Stealin’ by Uriah Heep.
Good reaction and fair all around.
Pure Creedence. Which is pure John Fogerty. And yep, you’re gonna wish for more. That’s kinda the point. 👍 the Vietnam war was another dark era in US history. This song was part of the soundtrack.
CCR always had an abundance of saucy licks. Just really good stuff that stays in the head and the heart.
The depth of hooks is like ZZ Top. AC/DC also. Fogerty has always known how to set the hook.
Some of John’s solo work would be a great corner on the road. Centerfield is a good album and the title cut will take you to a new place. And there’s Rock and Roll Girls.
As always, you guys set the standard. Cheers 🥃
Harmonica solo is so CCR
Centerfield also has The Old Man Down The Road which is musically similar to Run Through the Jungle.
Fogerty was the creative force of the band but the rhythm section was pretty damn good and the band as a whole had a tight, unified sound.
Ken Johnston It was nasty. Who played it?
@@truthdweller3454 None other than John Fogerty
My God, they had so many great songs.
I was young but remembered them all.
Great to see a new generation enjoying.
Now where are the new generation songs like this??
Nowhere but I know there is a lot of talent.
1000 views in less than a minute. You've got some fans.
Let’s see, you’ve done “Bungle in the Jungle” and “Run Through the Jungle.” How about Bruce Springsteen’s “Jungleland”? Or “Jungle Love” by the Steve Miller Band? Or ELO’s “Jungle”? Or Kool & the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie”? I’m sure you already know GnR’s “Welcome to the Jungle.” That would be one bangin’ jungle playlist.
Jungle Bill - Yello. Get that thru yer headphones without trippin' Lol
Might I add Santana- jungle strut
@@jeremydraper733 Morris Day "Jungle Love," Baltimora "Tarzan Boy"
My vote is for Jungleland by Bruce. The big man's sax is killer on that song.
@@jeremydraper733 Great suggestion and yes, you may.
Have you guys done “Up around the bend” by CCR yet?... it’s another classic
Nope.
Very fair reaction.
This is good ole American rock n roll!
This is an A. I love John Forgery’s graveling tone in his voice. Always delivers the “Sauce”.
Gotta love the swamps of San Diego!
CCR got me through Vietnam in 69. I still listen to them and perform there stuff. Appreciate you young guys appreciating a great band.
They had so many great songs, in such a short period. Was pretty impressive.
CCR has so many classics. Definetly check out Down on the Corner, Up and Around The Bend, Long As I Can See The Light, or honestly any of their other stuff
Yes!!! The best CCR song has finnaly arrived!!! You guys just had your minds BLOWN!!
CCR is just one of those break the mold type of bands, that made timeless classics...like Beatles, Stones, Doors, Zep, Pink F, Yes...and the 60s and 70s were magical times for music...
It's one of those songs that, even after 50 years, I need me a fix of it every now and then. That's why it's an A for me.
Oh hell yes! Great song!
This is the ringtone on my son's phone for me (MOM) lol My husband was a Vietnam vet and was heavy into CCR!
If you want grit, try “Travelin’ Band” and “Suzy Q”. Honestly, CCR has an incredible library, and you could spend the next month doing exclusive CCR and still not get all of them. When I first started listening to CCR, I binged album after album. Not sure how you guys restrain yourselves...
This was my grandpa’s favorite song. He survived ‘nam but lost to cancer. Going through his things there was a cd with his name and a heart in it. This was the first song on the cd. Been playing it on loop. Love you guys for covering it.
Part of the soundtrack for nearly every Vietnam War film ever made.
Considering the lyrics have nothing to do with Vietnam.
Down On The Corner, Up Around The Bend
This was actually the B-side to "Up Around the Bend," maybe CCR's best song.
To me "Ramble Tamble" the opening track of this album is their greatest song. It's a 7 minutes song with a phenomenal instrumental part. A masterpiece !
Totally agree.
Yes i agree rite up these guys alley
I love Creedence. One of my favorite bands....
Do...."Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" by the Hollies.......and convince me CCR didn't sneak into the studio and record that song......
Ramble tamble very cool and different! I’ll bet it will be your fav CCR song!
This became a Vietnam theme song but John Fogerty said it was written about gun control and the proliferation of guns in America at the time (1970) which was one for every man, woman and child, hence the the verse "two million guns are loaded"
This is a fabulous song from the period. When there was two kinds of music. Rock & Roll.
Absolutely the pinnacle of the time.
🇦🇺👍🌊🥃
Cosmo's Factory is a great album!
Cosmos factory is pretty much greatest hits album Volume II
Almost every song was a hit single or radio hit. Yeah, great album.
When I was 14 years old in 1970 I was given some money for my birthday and used it to buy Cosmos Factory and Led Zeppelin 2. The first two albums I ever bought. I still love and still listen to both of them.
No doubt. It has been in my collection since I scored it when I was a young lad, with my old man stationed in germany. I still have that German version album cover. Can't read a lick of it, but it's definitely a conversation piece!
An absolute classic. Top 10 greatest rock albums of all time.
I was 13 or 14 when my brother got out of the Army back in '70. He gave me this album. Every song is a banger to me. I literally wore this one out. Cosmos Factory is a work of art.
CCR formula breaker to listen to next: Down on the Corner
They were so so good live!!
Salute to all the Vietnam Vets!🇺🇸
Great seeing young people grooving on my generations tunes!!
Happy Friday A&A. Good tune ahead. Loved the poll this week. Cheers.🍻 p.s. you can like both Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, lol.
CCR Has No bad songs !!
Love every one,,, ❤❤
Supposedly this song was about the Vietnam War and our boys over there in it. It was a wholly different time back then.
No it wasn't - Fogarty said it's about gun ownership in America.
♥️ I Feel The Love! ♥️
Thanks for taking time out for us! Now, get back to work! 😉😘 Cya next time! ✌️♥️
"Two hundred million guns are loaded, Satan cries, take aim"..So put that in your smoke and pipe it! Lol.
I think they said " Satan cries they came" because at the time there was an anti-war slogan that said " what if they gave a war and nobody came"
@@loach392 it says "satan cries, take aim", but it's never a good thing with Satan in it...
@@lisamorrison2149 I did some research and found out it was anti- gun not war. I've had it wrong for 50 years.
@@loach392 thanks, I guess it's to each there own
in a 2016 interview, Fogerty explained that the song is actually about the proliferation of guns in the United States.
The thing I wanted to talk about was gun control and the proliferation of guns... I remember reading around that time that there was one gun for every man, woman and child in America, which I found staggering. So somewhere in the song, I think I said, '200 million guns are loaded.'
The chaos of running through a jungle Is probably why this song is featured in so many movies about Vietnam and other warr films
*Guess Who* isn't going to win the poll.
Please consider *Bachman Turner Overdrive*
🎸🎸🎸
"Sledgehammer" and "Not Fragile" are hardest rockers
Also
"Taking Care of Business"
"Let it Ride"
"You Ain't seen Nothing Yet"
All the way down to jazzy
"Blue Collar"
"Looking Out for #1"
🐮🔔🐮🔔🐮🔔
BTO Huge back in the day. Sledgehammer and Not Fragile my favs
How do you not smile when listening to CCR? What a great band! Guitarist??? Jeff Healey. Artist first on your channel? Tom Waits. What an incredible lyricist. This CCR song IS a long song live.
Live version of "Keep On Chooglin" also many great songs and I recommend "Looking Out My Backdoor", "Fortunate Son", "Hey Tonight", "As Long As I Can See The Light", Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and "Who Will Stop The Rain" just to name some!
You're not film majors, but man! If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, and appreciate this song set in the era of it's time, you really aught to watch Apocalypse Now... I mean, it's a wild "smell of naypalm in the morning, you either surf or fight, and NEVER get out of the boat" kind of ride, you'll never forget.
Let the people know my wisdom. Fill the land with smoke. Still spreading "wisdom".
So far, songs with the word jungle in the title have not disappointed on this channel Lol. I would say this one’s an A- for me. Keep the good tunes coming. Whenever it may come though, I’m still looking forward for a Kansas follow up.
LYRICS!!! This is one of the quintessential Vietnam protest songs. I think if you would’ve read the lyrics it would have bumped it to an A+
I love CCR, but I only listen with headphones on because it brings my husband back to Vietnam!! Great reaction guys💖💖💖💖
"Golden Country" by REO Speedwagon... BANGER!
Yes indeed. When REO didn't suck.
When I was a kid the Vietnam war was on my tv news every night. I had some older cousins over there. This takes me right back.
Cosmos Factory would be another great full album review.
