I never comment on RUclips videos, however I felt compelled to say this: I am 62 years old and my late husband of almost 45 years shared our first kiss to this song. This then played at our wedding and I will never forget how we danced our hearts out. Unfortunately he passed away due to Covid just last year and I come back to this song every once in a while to reminisce. To my Jack I will always love you and I would not have dreamed of someone better to be stuck in the middle with.
Thanks Lauren - I got a chuckle out of your sense of humor. My kiss song was "Captain Fantastic" by Elton John. If you and I (I'm 62 too) had a kiss song - I propose - Romeo's Tune - by Stephen Frebert something something.
Gerry Rafferty actually sang lead vocal on the song (you can tell it's his voice). When the video was shot, Rafferty had already left the band, so they had Joe Egan lip syncing along with the recording.
I heard this on the radio yesterday and even with worry of WWIII on the horizon, it didn't fail to lift my spirits up. Everything is happy and groovy. Its up their with Spirit in the Sky! P.s. I'll have to try it on the bass. 🎸
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 I agree. When you consider 90% of it takes place in an empty warehouse with people just talking, makes you realise how good the scriptwriting was
Actually I think I can feel your pain about "ruined" music---I believe it was a Herbie the VW bug movie that ruined the Beach Boys song "Getcha Back" for me. (To me one of the most beautiful Beach Boys songs, even better than Kokomo!) Should NOT have been utilized in some schlock movie😠😂😠😂
Great Classic by the Late GERRY RAFFERTY... Incredible Songwriter and Performer who was Lost way too Young! Love his Songs "Baker Street", "Right Down The Line" and THIS, "Stuck In The Middle With You". #Imagine the Songs we've Missed!!! IMAGINE... Just IMAGINE.... Thank you for considering my comment, too. ❤
Steelers Wheel guitarist Paul Pilnick, has passed away! My uncle and occasional drinking buddy Paul, died on September 17, 2021 aged 80 after a short illness. He left behind his wife Yvonne, son Tony, step-daughter Charlotte and two grandchildren. The world knew him as a fabulously talented musician, who after Steelers Wheel worked with his childhood friend John Lennon at Apple Records, and toured with the likes of Stevie Wonder. But he was so much more. He was first and foremost a genuinely good man. He was an animal lover, had a wonderful sense of humor, and he loved classical music and poetry. I will miss him greatly, especially his philosophizing on the meaning of life.
R.I.P Wonderful, talented fabulous musician, Joe Egan 🙏🏻 🕊️ ❤ 🎸xxxx Such a beautiful perfect voice, fabulous song Over 10 millions views not one thumbs down 👎🏻 only 👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻👍🏻 xxxx

If you ever confused “Stuck in the Middle With You” with a Bob Dylan song, then mission accomplished: The tune was meant as a Dylan parody. The lyrics themselves - think, “Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right” - were intended to represent an industry cocktail party. Though the Scottish band had three studio albums and lead singer Gerry Rafferty went on to have solo hits like “Baker Street,” “Stuck in the Middle With You” has become particularly cemented in music history thanks to its placement in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and, in more recent years, as the theme song to the Netflix show Grace and Frankie.
I bought the single when it first came out, and I still have it. And, I still play it. A brilliant song. The 70's I feel was the best decade for pop music. I've still got every vinyl record I every bought, mostly from the 70's. I'm now 66 and keeping on rockin'. Great song.
The guy lip syncing isn't Gerry Rafferty. It's his guitarist Joe Egan. Rafferty was gone that day. Rafferty was a genius songwriter. If you like this, look for songs from Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street album. It is one of the best. "Right Down The Line" is one of my favorite songs.
FYI Joe Egan wasn't just the guitarist he was a fellow front man. Stealers wheel were basically Rafferty and Egan. Rafferty had quit the band for a time but SW were under contract to finish and promote the album hence Joe Egan lip syncing. Totally agree about raffertys ability to write tho. Although I preferred Egans voice on many of the tracks they recorded...go and find I get by...awesome...
Love Right Down the Line. Here’s a live performance with both singing. I have yet to explore everything, but I love this: ruclips.net/video/Fm-pTIlM4uU/видео.html
An absolutely brilliant song that goes on in your head for hours. Fantastic bass line and a great voice. typical 70s. I remember waiting at the music shop for it to arrive desperate to get my hands on a copy, I still have every record I ever bought throughout the 60s and 70s and ever so often get them all out to listen to. Boxes and boxes of incredible music, memories and happiness within my life.
This one is definitely a Legendary song from a Legendary Time , won't get the likes of these guys and a few other Legendary groups from that time . Who ever watches this video You have Amazing Taste in music i Salute you . From the 🇬🇧
There were tons of music videos from the 70s and 60s too. Hello, the Beatles and Pink Floyd both had numerous MVs in the 60s, and PF wasn't even world famous yet.

As a 3rd Grader, didn't know it had a film for it. Used to hear it on the AM radio, and the radio on our school bus. Brings back memories of those times.
This song holds a special place in my heart. It takes me back to fun times with my Dad & Uncle Dave. They were such fun to be around and always cutting up. I was in the truck sitting in the middle of both of them & we were riding down the road. So with the lyrics...clowns to the left of me...jokers to the right & stuck in the middle with you...that was me! My Uncle passed away many years before my Dad & my Dad has been gone 3 years now. I had this song played at my Dad's funeral. I know people looked at me like I was crazy...but that song reminded me of the good times...and helped me through a very sad time. I miss them both terribly! 😪
What a Brilliant Song this was and still is.Me and my friend's Danced to this when we were 17 or 18 yrs old.The time of our lives in the 60s and 70s XXXXXXX
This is literally the first "rock video" I ever saw. We had just gotten cable television (a big deal in the early '70s) and HBO played these to take up time between movies. It's still one of my very favorite songs of all time. The HBO got turned off after it was discovered they had R-rated movies at night. :-( 😸
Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty were a duo known as Stealer's Wheel when they recorded this Dylanesque, pop, bubble-gum favorite from April of 1974. That reached up to number five, as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies continues.
This is how most people wanted Dylan to sing, and he probably could have come close if he had wanted to. Incidentally, Rafferty could mimic Lennon's voice as well. Listen to Out of the Blue.
This should be the theme for all sane reasonable people in the 2020's. Woke to the left of me, MAGA to the right Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

One of the truly great songs of the decade that was the1970's.
I’m 74 and still love this video
Rest in Peace Joe Egan. July 2024. Classic.
Thanks Quentin. This song used to feel upbeat.
Ikr this was such a nice light hearted song but then I saw reservoir dogs...
WOW! Thanks for THAT spoiler alert!! Really! I think I won't see that movie, because to ruin THIS song with darkness is blasphemous!

今更ながらジョー・イーガンが亡くなったと知って飛んできた。
個人的にこの曲はロック真っ盛りの思春期の頃にたまたまRUclipsで聴いて一発で好きになり、それ以来70年代のロックでも特にお気に入りの特別な曲です。
この曲のメインボーカルは故ジェリー・ラファティーのはずですが、MVではジョーがさも歌ってるようなふりしてる所も最高です。
他にもStarでの聴く人を包み込むようなジョーの優しい歌声やI Get Byでのハスキーでクールなボーカルも本当に良かった。

Well I don't know why I came here tonight

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please
Please
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore

Here I am stuck in the middle with you

And you're proud that you're a self-made man

In fact, it sounds more like a John Lennon song

There were tons of music videos from the 70s and 60s too. Hello, the Beatles and Pink Floyd both had numerous MVs in the 60s, and PF wasn't even world famous yet.
RIP and as Charlie Harper once said, best song to use for a tampon commercial!
1:11 is one of my absolute favorite parts of the song. Gotta have more cowbell.
As I'm at work, I hear people hammering away, and this song pops in.
LMAO 🤣 Was that a reference to Christopher Walken's SNL Blue Oyster Cult skit?
@@EnCroissant427 that was Don't Fear the Reaper, another legendary song
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you,
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you, here I am stuck in the middle with you
thank u

Written by Scottish Musician and song writer the late great Gerry Rafferty ( who died in 2011)
Thank's bro for this lyrics 🙂✌️👍
@@Pottsvillian24 Great song. Sorry he died.
I can't say enough about Gerry Rafferty, he just writes great music. Stealers wheel was quite a band.
Too bad he couldn’t be in the video :(
The 1970s were a golden cornucopia of musical goodness
Love this song... they dont sing or make music like this stuff anymore.. lived the best years of music..
Genial, faz parte da trilha sonora do filme Cães de Aluguel.!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
A timeless classic anytime ,anyplace, anywhere ,no complaints ,enjoy
Timeless track, but it is hard to belive it is over 50 years old. RIP, Joe Egan.
As a 3rd Grader, didn't know it had a film for it. Used to hear it on the AM radio, and the radio on our school bus. Brings back memories of those times.
This song holds a special place in my heart. It takes me back to fun times with my Dad & Uncle Dave. They were such fun to be around and always cutting up. I was in the truck sitting in the middle of both of them & we were riding down the road. So with the lyrics...clowns to the left of me...jokers to the right & stuck in the middle with you...that was me! My Uncle passed away many years before my Dad & my Dad has been gone 3 years now. I had this song played at my Dad's funeral. I know people looked at me like I was crazy...but that song reminded me of the good times...and helped me through a very sad time. I miss them both terribly! 😪
It takes me back to my college dorm days, when we rented Reservoir Dogs from Blockbuster.
Special thanks to Jesus for filling in on the drums :) of course credit to the guy who commented this earlier
Alright at least you did address someone said this earlier
And thank the devil for putting this in that one scene where the cop gets his ear cut off
Mind Over Mayo when was that?
Reservoir Dogs
My God.. I didn't even notice the man himself
One of my favorite groups of all time, and they were super talented songwriters!
What a Brilliant Song this was and still is.Me and my friend's Danced to this when we were 17 or 18 yrs old.The time of our lives in the 60s and 70s XXXXXXX
me and my 5 year old daughter listen to this everyday. her absolute favorite!
❤❤❤ fabulous amazing beautiful stunning song love love ❤❤❤❤❤
Still one of the best known songs from the 70s .my son loves this song and he's only 25 years.
My 13 month old granddaughter loves this song! Cries when it ends. Needless to say, we play it over and over for her.
‘Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you’ 🔥🎸
This is literally the first "rock video" I ever saw. We had just gotten cable television (a big deal in the early '70s) and HBO played these to take up time between movies. It's still one of my very favorite songs of all time. The HBO got turned off after it was discovered they had R-rated movies at night. :-( 😸
Are you thee John McCormick from Corby Northamptonshire.....👍🇬🇧🤓
Oh cool John.
Thanks for the music rest in peace Gerry and Joe
Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty were a duo known as Stealer's Wheel when they recorded this Dylanesque, pop, bubble-gum favorite from April of 1974.
That reached up to number five, as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies continues.
This is not bubble gum pop lol
@@screechingonions2365 you don't know the reference do you...
R.I.P. Gerry! Amazing voice, amazing song writer...
This is how most people wanted Dylan to sing, and he probably could have come close if he had wanted to. Incidentally, Rafferty could mimic Lennon's voice as well. Listen to Out of the Blue.
Nashville Skyline.
Better than Dylan and with sweet harmonies.
Thought it was lennon the first time I heard it...
Rafferty is Greatness!!!
Rafferty isn't singing, Egan is
The first song I remember liking. 10 years old, in the backseat of my Dad's firebird
This song is one of my all-time favorites!
Always feel great when I hear this song,one of my all time faves
This song never gets old,I just love it. Thanks
Music to my ear!
Love this song, it's good to be stuck in the middle with these guys.
The soundtrack to my adolescence. Love this song.

@@MeatballsMike lamee ass whiteboy ;)
Por eso vine
What?!
MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE!! :D
The future Mrs John Cleese. Almost unrecognizable. What a great actress she was.
Is that actually Connie Booth??
Van Gogh hates this song.
Is this a reference to Reservoir Dogs? ;D
LoL 😂
You Hear that!? 😂
Pmsl 😂
Sadly, 253 Van Gogh's so far
Gerry has one of my favorite voices
Started tapping my foot to the beat as soon as the song started.
Man, this is a catchy tune.
Never gonna give you up
@@wyattjohnson8491 That's Rick Astley ya tit!
Masterpiece in the world of pop music!
By the way, this was a great song long before Quentin Tarantino started making movies.
1967 to be exact, QT wasn't even born
Daniel O. This was recorded in 1972. Quentin Tarantino was born in 1963. You are WAYY OFF buddy.
Yep, 72 or 73 I think. I was in third grade. This was huge when it came out.
Yes we know 🙄 but Reservoir dogs brought it back and made it even more famous
@@eileenkelly4760 IDK about that. I lived through both times. But, what evs...to each their own.
I was 17 years old when this song game out .I love it
BEST EAR LOBE CUTTIN OFF SONG EVER!
Rest in peace, Gerry...
Your music will always live within us and thank you 😊
You know, this isn’t my favorite song, but it’s such a damn good song I just keep coming back.
I don’t know why, but the song is all the more catching with the use they gave it in that scene. Utter genius.
This should be the theme for all sane reasonable people in the 2020's.
Woke to the left of me, MAGA to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
One of the one great song ever and fantastic group ! ❤
How to write, arrange, perform and mix a song, all in one lesson. Lovely bass playing too.
