The students in my area were singing this at a house party (before lockdown) with excessive emphasis on "Maurice" and the "wo wo" guitar noise. I'm so glad it's a timeless track.
Happy 50th anniversary to this great lively song! It was released this time in 1974! It’s the day after new years 2024 as I post my comment. This song made the top ten songs of 1974, together with “Bennie and the jets”(Elton John), Grand Funks cover version of Loco Motion, and “Sweet Home Alabama,” by Lynyrd skynyrd of course. May this song live on for another 50 years!!!
This song reminds me of my Mom her favorite song growing up, she had cancer later in life and this song was something we made memories with! I miss you momma I share the tree for you my angel in heaven! ❤
Mr. Hale, I'm SO glad you were my 6th grade teacher at Woodworth in Dearborn in 1973. We went on a filed trip to The Henry Ford Estate. He had one of those big boat 70's cars. I was piled in with 5 other students. We all wanted to listen to WRIF. This song in particular. Thank you for indulging us! This song never gets old and makes me smile remembering times past.
This was one of my dad's favorite songs when i was growing up. After getting older and having a family of my own I'd like to say I've picked up the tradition. Love and miss you pops
Since I started listening to this song 🎵 I've listened to it more than 30times just in a few hours and am still loving it more and more beautiful 🎵 song.
one of the best memories with this song. my CD collection gotten stolen. had to go to the record store at 930 at night with only a few people in the store and picked this one back up. my friend and I went out to the car I turned my system up in the parking lot of Rasputin and blasted it and my friend and I danced in the parking lot singing this song. the last few people that were in the store walked out and came and started dancing with us telling us they loved this song. one of my absolutely all time favorites. Steve Miller rock on!
Nope. I had a hunch but never confirmed. I'm over it now. It's been years. I just know not to have a modified car it only causes attraction. I had a kick ass collection though. EVERYTHING was in that collection.
This song is so nostalgic. As a child growing up this song always managed to play over my Disney and r&b, rap, pop, and princess music lol. A true love tbh and today at work it was playing on the radio ❤️❤️❤️
When I was little, we used to have barbecues out in the backyard. When my dad was on the grill, he'd have the radio next to him and this song would play about once every half hour because he couldn't stop listening to it. I remember so many summer afternoons or evenings sitting out in the lawn having burgers or just chilling with this song on the radio. Good times, good times.
Being at teen early 20s in the 70s would be awesome. Just smoking, chilling with friends listening to great music. All I can do is be happy for the people that lived it!
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-guitarist-harmonica player Steve Miller, bassist Gerald Johnson, drummer John King, and organist-clavinetist Dick Thompson.
I do have appreciation for all music including the ones you say “isn’t about music or talent” but music like this really does make me happy, makes me think that all the messiness of life doesn’t matter. Idk I just think recently I have really gained appreciation for this kind of music :)
Growing up as a kid/teen in the 70s n 80s the music was awesome n it was everything. Nothing like it before or since!! But clean lyrics..it was not!!! 🙂
I will be taking my oldest son and future daughter in laws engagement photos outdoors today, and I plan on having this song playing in the background! I want to capture real and fun smiles with this song playing! This song will keep the photo session non stressful but a fun experience! 🥰
Why oh why wasn't I born in the 60's, 70's?! :) Magical time to be alive I imagine.. 💕✌ I have loved this song.. since I was a kid. I love the way the guitar sings Stoner central?
❤ I swear this is a song that everyone that has ever heard it, when they hear it again go back to some happy memory somewhere...... it's just amazing ❤ I love this song, it makes me happy❤
I absolutely Love this song! Totally brings me back to high school pottety class... We had XM radio and this song came on all the time and Mr. Webster always got into it. Classic.
Fun fact. Pompitous or Pompatus is not a word. It was misheard when this song was being written. It was heard from the Medallions song 'The letter' What was really heard was 'The puppetutes of love' Puppetutes being a cross between Puppets and Prostitutes.
love this song. I was a 18 years old kid just migrated to the usa from jamaica where reggae music was my love and passion. but this song the joker, good times charlie got the the blues. the streak have always made me listen happily. hit me with music as bob marley said
This song would always play at the restaurant i was a cook at. Something about this song always kept me motivated during the very draining nights chopping vegetables and making burgers
They rock this song and nobody can do it better.... This song is funky and spunky!!!!!....... Well my cousin's band 3 Dollar Molly can Jam it pretty Damn good.... Love ya Jesse!!!!!!
My father was a well known guitar player in his area When he was here and this was the song my dad played on his guitar all the time around campfires with tons of friends and family anyone was welcome. And he sounded so similar this song always takes me back to when I was by the fire with all my family cause friends are family were he was from.
The students in my area were singing this at a house party (before lockdown) with excessive emphasis on "Maurice" and the "wo wo" guitar noise. I'm so glad it's a timeless track.
Im gonna go out on a limb and say there was a Maurice at that house party
Bautiful 😘❤
The students teach us every moment 🤟
✌peace...koios✌
They were definitely high
My dad whistles the "woo woo" part.
My dad loves this song. On April 1 he died 8years ago and I always play this song for him
♥️♥️♥️
I’m sorry to hear that , my dad loved this song also he passed almost 3 years ago. This song brings back good memories
❤️❤️
Your dad had great taste. RIP to your awesome dad. ❤💜

If you've never blasted this song at 2am after a bad day while laying on the hood of your car out in a field somewhere, are you living life?
Been there done that...:)

Since I started listening to this song 🎵 I've listened to it more than 30times just in a few hours and am still loving it more and more beautiful 🎵 song.
If you've only listened to this song thirty times in a few hours, you don't like the song as much as the rest of us
2023 and still jamming and blaring me some steve Miller listened to this today as a matter of fact on the way to work..70s chick all way rock on
My dad loved this song he always had it playing in the car on road trips he died a couple years ago I will always play this song for him
This reminds me of when I was little and everything was simple and happier
Geroge Straight
The happiness is still there, you've just lost yourself gazing at the past. Life's too short to look back
Be grateful and be patient. Life is a test. There is no god but Allah. Hereafter is better than this worldly life.
Adrienne vs. Vs.vs hahaha
AMEN, sister!!!
Anyone still listening to this in 2024?
I am 😊
Hell yeah!!
May 2024
Yes always for ever💯💯💯💯💯
Of course ❤

Damn that sucks .. Did you ever find out who stole your music collection?
Nope. I had a hunch but never confirmed. I'm over it now. It's been years. I just know not to have a modified car it only causes attraction. I had a kick ass collection though. EVERYTHING was in that collection.
Sfll
That sounds like fun - you had me at the dancing part Genai:) cheers to u, m
Sweet story , except the collection being stolen part.

i agree
+Dodie Smoke Im just speaking the truth:D
Great song! Brings back great memories of when life was carefree😊
I remembered this song at the age of 6 and would sing this song to all my uncles friends while they were drinking. I’ve never failed to disappoint.
One of the best nights ever! Watch them live at Red Rock in CO, danced the entire night. Legends!!!
Being at teen early 20s in the 70s would be awesome. Just smoking, chilling with friends listening to great music. All I can do is be happy for the people that lived it!
David Rosas lmao u can do that now 😂😂
Yeah and with better weed and access to high quality entertainment and high quality sound and speakers
Not really everyone’s distracted with phones and other shit that wasn’t invented back then. Back then shit was simple is what he’s trying to say
David Rosas lol back when they could afford to go see bands
Gabe Rodriguez weed is better now.
born in the 80s and I grew up listening to this and all other music like this. love this song
What is the real name of the song? thanks.
Sorry, I only got here because of fire force latest episode 😅, it is a good song though
Why are you sorry? Nice to know pop culture makes us remember past greatness. Somebody should re-do this song, it's sexy
Doesnt matter where we come from the song is a banger
But you got here! ✌
Same
I've heard it before that but that's what brought me here now 😂
Proud to say I watched them live right next to my parents a moment in my life I will never forget!

Thank you That 70's Show, you made me find an awesome song
that show is so good for finding gems
This song is in the deepest depths of my memory and I'm glad I found it again
This takes me back to when I was little, listening to my brothers sing this while playing guitar. God, I haven’t heard this in over a decade.
things changing fast,, we all need to repent. #JESUS
👃🏿
Back when musicians were actual recording artists, kept the lyrics clean and it was about the music and talent.
I do have appreciation for all music including the ones you say “isn’t about music or talent” but music like this really does make me happy, makes me think that all the messiness of life doesn’t matter. Idk I just think recently I have really gained appreciation for this kind of music :)
Psychedelics brought out the real talent
Dont do drugs, unless you wanna make a good song
Ain't gonna lie loved 70s n 80s music..nothing like it before or since. Bu sorry, clean it wasn't!! 🙂
Growing up as a kid/teen in the 70s n 80s the music was awesome n it was everything. Nothing like it before or since!! But clean lyrics..it was not!!! 🙂
How many times did I get high and listen to this song when it came out? No telling, but I still love it.
i only 15 years old and LUV this song
See old days rule
Me too.
I really love your peaches wanna smoke some tree
I have loved this song.. since I was a kid. I love the way the guitar sings
This song brings you back
I’m only 16 and this song I hate to admit it reminds me of my dad who passed 4 years ago to heart disease. Think about him literally every day. ❤️
I saw Steve Miller in 1976 at the Omni in Atlanta. Great times remembering those days.
@@matthewpavelka4905 it really does
TWootwoooow 😅
I love this song, reminds me of when I was young.. Feels like a whole different life time ago😕 memories are forever though😉!!
I will be taking my oldest son and future daughter in laws engagement photos outdoors today, and I plan on having this song playing in the background! I want to capture real and fun smiles with this song playing! This song will keep the photo session non stressful but a fun experience! 🥰

Stoner central?
From the 80's... Thank you MTV.. I love music! Peace
I feel like I'm the only one that just here because it's a good ass song, and not cause it's on that 70s show....
That is why I am listening to it in 2017. It is one of the best songs that I have heard for 26 years.
Sameeee
I'm here cause I'm a stoner
Who the hell cares just stop being an ass and let everyone enjoy it no matter what brought them here
Novifiy it's both for me
Anyone else used to play this all the time on guitar hero?
isaac White I could sing it perfectly
Woahh j'aurais aimé la faire au guitar heroe!!
Isaac White that's what I'm here from not that 70's show
Yeah me and my sister would play guitar hero all night

The first time I ever heard this song it blew my mind and made all the people listen and not a hateful position 1 to take. Thank you Steve Miller Band

Right back to the 70's and current day!!!! These classic songs have no DECADE! They simply Rock 24/7 360! Don't you know?
how can you not like this???
Fun fact. Pompitous or Pompatus is not a word. It was misheard when this song was being written. It was heard from the Medallions song 'The letter' What was really heard was 'The puppetutes of love' Puppetutes being a cross between Puppets and Prostitutes.
Thats probably 'prophetess'
Hell yeah man I love playing this on a midnight car ride I live in my van and I'm definitely a midnight toker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And he sounded so similar this song always takes me back to when I was by the fire with all my family cause friends are family were he was from.
