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! ❤
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
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.
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.
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 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! 🥰
❤ 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❤
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 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.
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
Let me tell you, 8-tracks kinda sucked. It wasn't just that the tapes were huge and 10 of them would fill any glove box, but everyone I knew had to do the same thing I did; you had to tear off and fold over a matchbook cover and stuff it in the deck next to the tape to keep it from dragging and stuttering.
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.
I remember being a kid and my parents having parties, drinking Jim Beam and Smoking!😂 Everyone would just bring their kids with them and we’d just play till we dropped and passed out wherever at 1am. Now days it’s prob be child abuse but in the 80s we had the BEST damn childhoods!!!
My favorite underrated song, The Joker by Steve Miller Band. Too bad it peaked at number 2, just like Rock n' Me in 1976. Steve Miller Band first chart topper (number 1) is Abracadabra is in 1982. It has been in two separate weeks in a month apart. Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band knocked out Eye of The Tiger by Survivor (Dave Bickley was a lead singer then) on September 4, 1982, then Chicago with their tune, It's Hard To Say I'm Sorry has been to number 1 for 2 weeks on September 11, and 18, 1982, then Steve Miller Band with their tune returned to number 1 again on September 25, 1982.
Isabella Tolan Yes I remember it well I loved it but many showed up but he could've cared less gave a fabulous show we got to move up in the center about as close as you could get without having to look straight up ...lol 1st row too close we were about the 10th or 12th row dead center it was so damn. GOOD
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.

I'll never get sick of it. I can play it on repeat over and over and won't get tired of it. I absolutely love this song!
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! ❤
Can you please tell the name of the real song in that time I remember heard years ago.
Amen 🙏🏻 ditto miss my Mother in Heaven
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...:)
Ok
0:17 with your top down
If you have never bungee jumped off the Burj Khalifa wearing nothing but flip flops and a snorkel, are you living life?
Hell yeah been there
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

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

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
I love the 70s and 80s. It will never be the same.
Honestly tho 😢
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. ❤💜
Lisa , I'm sorry. My son also died April 1, 2013
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.

AMEN, sister!!!

Timeless...The STEVE MILLER BAND .had awesome mastery of lyrics & vocal expression. When ya listen you catch true talent.
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.
This is a timeless classic
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-guitarist-harmonica player Steve Miller, bassist Gerald Johnson, drummer John King, and organist-clavinetist Dick Thompson.
Proud to say I watched them live right next to my parents a moment in my life I will never forget!
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 😂
One of the best nights ever! Watch them live at Red Rock in CO, danced the entire night. Legends!!!
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
I love this song, reminds me of when I was young.. Feels like a whole different life time ago😕 memories are forever though😉!!
Why oh why wasn't I born in the 60's, 70's?! :) Magical time to be alive I imagine.. 💕✌

I agree Heidi 👌
HeidiH.L Jones well now could be better

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.

Just heard this on my car radio and had to come and listen again. A great song which brings back so many good memories.
This song has been dedicated to the memory of Heath Ledger, the coolest Joker the world has ever seen. R.I.P.
Well he's one of the three best. The other two are Mark Hamill and Jack Nicholson
This is Steven Hyde’s theme song. No question 😂

Jessie Drury that's genius and underrated stuff huh?
Heard this at the store so I looked it up. I'm not disappointed.
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
Some people call me the space cowboy

Love that lyric! These words bring up so many sexy images. Poetry
Ugh I would love to live in the 70's
John Kittz yesss

John Kittz but then you don't have easy access to this song

Let me tell you, 8-tracks kinda sucked. It wasn't just that the tapes were huge and 10 of them would fill any glove box, but everyone I knew had to do the same thing I did; you had to tear off and fold over a matchbook cover and stuff it in the deck next to the tape to keep it from dragging and stuttering.
awesome! I love this song. ❤❤❤
Rockin' to this in 2020
This is the best song I've ever heard in my whole life for real I'm not joking
