I love the fact that even though this is a background track, not a live recording, Harry is doing his best to play that guitar with ape-suit fingers. He's even alternating the bass fingering with the C7 chord.
Saw this back in 1971, made me laugh then, still does today! Harry Nilson was so talented, he never got the recognition that he deserved, Still love his music!
Harry Nilsson was the bomb....hands down one of the most brilliant song writers that never got the 'fame', but in a way....maybe that is just the way he wanted it.
It was the way he wanted it. So much so it was a blow to his career. Executives would tell him their direction and he'd the other way 😆 The man was famous enough to hang out with the Beatles after the fact, made a movie with Ringo and he and John teamed up on an album that John produced. I'd say he was where he wanted to be. He even protested against guns and gun violence after John was murdered. N🥺w that's a friend
Please watch the documentry on Harry Nilsson , i just watched it last week :) i had No idea he sang this and so many others including , My Best Friend woo you will love him more than you do now . He absolutly wanted to be under the radar he did Not want to do Concerts
I have a greater appreciation of this song than when I first heard it as a teenager. ;It was always a groovy tune, but now into my 60's, I can grab the feeling of the words and tune so much better. Thanks for posting. Brings back many memories of singing this in a group. LOL!
Sorta fits right in with my Ding, a, Ling chuck berry song .. GOOD OLD DAYS when music was alwasy fun and no one took it seriously ... HOW MANY OF U forgot that song .. fact never heard that song look it up .
Sweet, never saw this version until today. A few elements make me think John Lennon was involved with this. Love it, it's so gentle and a piquant way to remember Harry. Love ya, man. Rest in ✌
I caught the tail end of this song the other day and realized I hadn't heard it for at least 30 years. I didn't mind though because although this song is fun, it wears on my nerves after the 10th time. Listening to it right now and I'm smiling, but if I play it too many times, I'll need to put the lime in the coconut to stop from barfing.
I REMEMBER walking to high school yes we walked up hill in the snow both ways back then . eating my stop at the bakery brownie singing this song and laughing with my friends WITH all of us singing it . ... funny how so little of a writtten song can become such a hit ... i still use that line over the years a couple million times are more . poeple today just look at u with WHAT ..
Never heard this insanely catchy song until a few nights ago, when we watched Reservoir Dogs. After everyone is dead at the end except for Mr Pink (sorry if I gave it away for anyone who hasn't seen that fab film), Tarantino has this as the play out music. What a wacky, brilliant man he is. Another must-see is the Muppets' version...
this similar sketch of the "nairobi trio" is a tribute to ernie kovacs ...... (had his own tv show in late 50's and early 60's) .... both nilsson and kovacs left this earth way too early!
Yeah, so if aliens visit us, we might have difficulty understanding warp drive, but they won't come close to getting this shit. I'm human and I don't think *I* get it. Still love it, though.
The warp drive isn't really all that complicated, once you realize that the very mechanism that allows those other dimensions that string theory says MUST exist also makes it possible to twist and fold our entire space without disturbing anything within... never mind.
Ok. Someone put a lime in a coconut. Get over it. 🤣 Can you imagine if something of significance ever happened to this guy? He'd NEVER shut up. 'Write a check to the lawyer and then cry a whole lot...' 🤣

That song is so old I used to sing it to myself when I was 14 years old! I'm am now 63 years old!!!! Fun Song!!!
So the SONG is old, huh? 😉
Yep it's very lovely old as dirt old! Lol

I'm 62. I recall this song when I was young too.
66 and still loving it

Remember listening to this in high skool. They don't write music like this anymore , tragic.
I used to loathe this song, and now I can't stop listening to it. Nilsson is the greatest of all time.
Here's U kookie, noob.
What a masterpiece the piano was so good Harry’s voice is perfect
Sweet, never saw this version until today. A few elements make me think John Lennon was involved with this. Love it, it's so gentle and a piquant way to remember Harry. Love ya, man. Rest in ✌
Thats allegedly him at the piano. Not sure but not impossible.
Smokin weed and listening to this.. fuckin high as shit xD .. love this song man!
Hahaha, same here man, this rocks :D
I always like this song when someone is sick we always play it . Great song!!
I LOVE THIS>.. I was raised on this song....
Love it when the wooden spoon breaks.
Harry was the true meaning of the musical artist who was created by a power above
Yes.
Used to sing this song ( along with a friend) to my pregnant wife. She hated and loved it at the same time! Miss those days.. 🥸🎼🎼🎼
This brings back some memories. Thanks for posting this.
Great alternative version. Love that bluesy piano riff
I like that piano riff, too.
I actually remember seeing this one. I was in the UK at the time.
A poor VHS tape but both mesmerizing and addictive.
That's great, makes an always-trippy song even trippier.
One of the silliest songs ever !!
I watch "Bones"
I was just watching that episode (RIP Mr. Nigel Murray), and that's what led me to look up this video.
@@jessrosenthal4939 lol that's why I'm here
@@jessrosenthal4939 Same XD
Me too ... This episode brought tears to my eyes
Fucking Brilliant.
anyone know the lineup ? any chance John joined his BFF? Maybe Keif' ?

Too cool. Better than the original, with more vocal harmonies, and piano is good! Wouldn't you love to jam with them?
That was nice. Such a fun song.
Still one of the BEST fun videos ever !!!!
This is a different recording than the one we've heard all of these years. If you listen, there
are a lot of differences.
Yeah, that one was by Mungo Jerry, that's a difference right there.
@@jamespfitz Two year old comment but I find it hilarious.
Harry Nilsson paying tribute to Ernie Kovacs! What could be better?
Need to keep laughing!!
I was just going to say "Is that the Nairobi Trio?"
OH Shit! Another deep dive!
well done footage
This is the world's most perfect video.

Love how the wooden spoon breaks. The rest is great.
Awesome!

The best song to get stoned to
Been there, done that, got the t shirt.
Yes or drunk.

Nilsson Schmilsson
As silly as this songs seems, it’s really high, high level.
Wow! Bigfoot does exist, and he has got some groove. Who would have thought?
like GUITARZAN BY RAY STEVENS .
❤
I forget, where do you put the lime?
What lime?
'Mazing!
aww..a concert pianist.

Steve Lee Yes, granted, but-put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both up, Steve. Drink 'em both up. I think I made my point.
!0-4 Good Buddy! I got some lime in the ol' coconut even as we - uh...speak. ;)
Nilsson's genius with C7 cord 🎵🎼🎶
This song has one chord throughout ....
You guys should watch him sing it on The BBC Sessions. It's live but lacks an audience. He gets pretty damn clever
I never understood the ape suits in the video. Always loved the song, tho. Harry Nilsson's weirdness coming out!
@nicademus666 I remember this well...it is wild isn't it
Ok. Someone put a lime in a coconut. Get over it. 🤣 Can you imagine if something of significance ever happened to this guy? He'd NEVER shut up. 'Write a check to the lawyer and then cry a whole lot...' 🤣
I think that is Margaret Meade playing lead cocoanut ??
Rip Vincent
Like if Bones brought you here
and Sweets* RIP especially to him
SWEET
I think you meant Sweets.
That would work also. :)
one of the players is john Lennon during his "lost" year..is it ringo in the third player?
DUDE...I HEARD THAT URBAN LEGEND NOT SO LONG AGO. REAL FUN-FACT
Put the GARLIC in the Lime!
