This is this is absolutely one of my favorite songs from him. You know people can be really cruel they expect you to look like you're 16 when you're 75. They wanted to sound exactly the same and look the same and they don't have the mentality to know you don't stay the same. I know it broke his heart but I am so proud of him he busted every one of them without saying anything mean he got them in a song. That's why you never play Madison square garden because people are just not the same. Ricky was a great man and a great singer and I hate they did that to him but he came back with the best banger ever
I read they actually booed him. Those in attendance were ignorant and lacking in class. Shame on them. Small segment of NYC concert goers. I like this and other songs of his. RIP Ricky
Watched Ricky growing up on their TV Show, he was my first teen idol! Loved him in Rio Bravo. Loved his music. RIP we lost you way to soon. Now I love watching his boys, Matthew and Gunnar, playing and singing Ricky's songs. Love watching and listening to their music. Ricky would be so proud!
I was born when this was popular. So-this is now I know Ricky. I love that this song is an ode to getting older and adjusting-realizing people want your old hits but you got more his in ya that might never be heard by anyone. But, when you get your chance play ‘em! That’s ok! Then write a hit about how them old times are gone but it sure was fun anyway.
Some of these comments make me feel old!!! One says not the original. It's live!!! That turned out to be his biggest hit. Tom Brumley on steel played for years with Buck Owens. Wonder how many remember the Ozzie and Harriet show!!!! I had the privilege of along with one of my brothers and 2 other guys I know to work with Ricky.
I watched him as a tiny little girl on tv…when this song came out I remember I was so excited. I was 15 and liked that folky/country/rock style. Plus he had such a beautiful voice.

BUT ITS ALRIGHT NOW, I LEARNRD MY LESSON WELL SEE YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYONE, SO YOU GOT TO PLEASE YOURSELF-LOVE THESE LYRICS AS REMINDS ME OF ME-LOVE THIS SONG-😊Rip Ricky Nelson. And thanks for all your great songs 🎵 🙏 🙏..
2023. I just listened to Hello Mary Lou. Mommy's name was Mary Louise. I was a little kid, didn't know or think much of Ricky back then. I appreciate all this though now ❤
The audience wasn’t booing him. There were several independent witnesses who said they were booing the cops who were kicking out some rowdy audience members. I wonder how Ricky felt after he released the song and then found that out. Probably not too bad. He might’ve been a bit embarrassed but it was a million-seller so he made a few bucks off of it.
well, for starters, he wasn't known as Ricky in 1971; he grew up, grew his hair out. The crowd booed Rick for his new look and his new music. They wanted Ricky, not Rick.
And I hate to admit this but when people said they went to a garden party in my high school that meant they were going to a weed party. rip Ricky Nelson
Ricky (in the sky): In 20 minutes, I'll be 60, but nobody invited me anywhere or sent a note or even a nice phone call. So, I am going to try to "please myself", satisfy myself and do what I want to do to celebrate my birthday on MY terms.
I got grapes at wrest point and for as decade they played me partner with eins against me with chronic one dollar seven dollars fifty losses wind to funk my safe life. They're in crime
@@practicewhatyoupreach8382 he dropped the y from his name when he turned 21. It meant he had grown up. He was no longer a Crewcut little boy. Show the man some respect.

A song of my youth
This is a classic song. It just makes you feel good.

52 years… still so good
we all go to a Garden Party at one time or another

One of the better songs from this era.

Not live, just a later recording synched to the original video.
I do I loved it ❤
I can recall the show but mainly through reruns. I just wonder how he would have been recognized if he had not perished in the plane crash.
I watched him as a tiny little girl on tv…when this song came out I remember I was so excited. I was 15 and liked that folky/country/rock style. Plus he had such a beautiful voice.
I remember watching a documentary on him on VH1 when I was in HS. I said to myself what a fine and talented man he was RIP
still a good song in 2020.Ricky Nelson was so good looking
Oh, was he ever!
Yesh, he was
Yea, he was. Id let him blow me. Id probably even tap him on the head as a warning before I sprayed him..... obviously, because Im a gentleman
Fondly remembered and missed.
❤🎉❤🎉 música lindíssima boa gosto Rick Nelson cantor faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito
They didn't appreciate him, he was just trying to expand his music
A great song, and a fine singer !!
I drank many a beer listening to this song!

Garden Party Lyrics
Rick Nelson
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I went to a garden party
To reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
Play our songs again
When I got to the garden party
They all knew my name
No one recognized me
I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
And over in the corner
Much to my surprise
Mr Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes
Wearing his disguise
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
Lot-da-da
Lot-in-da-da-da
Played them all the old songs
I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music
Didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou"
She belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk
It was time to leave
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
Lot-da-da
Lot-in-da-da-da
Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell
And lookin' like he should
Now if you gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang
I'd rather drive a truck
And it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
See, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
Lot-da-da (lot-da-da-da)
Lot-in-da-da-da
And it's all right now, yeah
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself

Rick, not Ricky.
@@ronfowlermusic thank you for the name correction. Just reading that he changed his name to Rick when he was 21.
This is as close to country as I get. I was 12 when it came out. Those were the days ♥️
Uno de los pioneros del R & Roll🎸
So true,
Blessings always, Kimmy
I, have this song, on a Ninety minute tape.
This Song was Created by Protestant Pastor Pat Boone ! Cillsey Bannon do you believe that ?
Aww
Very interesting lyrics. How He was tired singing His old hits.
Johnny Yum That’s not the meaning of this song;
@@realgwolf Yeah... it kinda' is
@@markpatrick8188 it was more in reference to being booed at the Rock n Roll Revival concert at MSG
@@markpatrick8188 No,it isn't.
@@paulrolf9011 yes, it was
Very sad song.
🐕😂🐩😁
Not 72 but the sentiment is still the same.
Ricky (in the sky):
In 20 minutes, I'll be 60, but nobody invited me anywhere or sent a note or even a nice phone call. So, I am going to try to "please myself", satisfy myself and do what I want to do to celebrate my birthday on MY terms.
i love 90s songs
Wondering if you meant to write 70s songs because this was a song from the 70s.
Radio.
Pretty close to being a star like Elvis
This song yours Sister ..
wonder why he wasnt drafted into the army
Isn't that the same Canadian bass player who played with Lou Reed?
Looks like Tim Cetera on bass.
Not the original recording.

NOT Ricky. Its Rick Nelson.
