Yeah, CCR is late 60s into the 70s. Their debut studio album was 1968. I don't think I've ever met a single person who doesn't like CCR. People in my general age bracket (born between the 50s and the 70s) basically grew up with them, but my nearly 80-year-old Mom likes them, as did my Dad when he was alive. When my little brother was a teen in the 90s and into death metal and the like, he nevertheless would steal my CCR greatest hits cassette and play it over and over while playing video games. His daughter also likes them. Creedence brings generations together.
I'm basically a clone of your little brother - 80s kid but teenage years were the 90s. I can remember the ads on TV for the "Best of" CCR compilations (those were in the 80s, I think). I didn't quite grow up with CCR, but I was introduced to them early, and I've loved them ever since. For me, "Lodi", "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", and "Long as I Can See the Light" are my favorites. But this song is a great, happy, upbeat tune - it's so fun and uplifting!
Really? I have looked around litterally hours every day and have almost lost hope for real music. I´m kind of a music nerd. Nirvana was the last band that makes my poor old heart pound a little extra. I bought my first 45 in 1964. It was Love Me Do - The Beatles. Loved almost everything they did. My next music love was CCR in 1969 and that love still last. Then Black Sabbath and The Ramones and Sex Pistols. The 80s was miserable in every aspect. Then came Nirvana and bought music back. But now.. =( Please push me in the right direction!
@@MrSoulPatrol I'm sorry, his studio is called "Fogarty's Factory". His channel is just "John Fogarty". It has CCR, his solo stuff and videos with his kids. Yeah as a kid while, we we're stationed in Turkey, back in '63/'64 I had a few of those old A&M Beatles 45s. Sadly none of them made it back to the states. They, with a lot of other stuff got stolen. The eighties weren't that miserable. There was AC/DC, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Queen to name a few who hung in there.
If you listen really closely you'll hear John playing bottleneck dobro (a resonator guitar often played slide) throughout the song. Easiest place to hear the dobro very clearly is in the beginning where the guitar lick mimics the "doo doo doo, lookin' out my backdoor" lyric. If you look at the front cover photo of the Green River album, you can see John holding his dobro.
So glad you guys liked this one. This song is my childhood. I'll always remember my Dad playing it on his guitar when I was knee high, and I'd always want him to play it again.
You guys summed it up. Simple, perfect music that never aged because no one could quite imitate their unique sound, particularly Fogerty's voice. CCR is a mash of genres. This is more country-jugband feel here, but they could do r&b with equal zest. The best band the American 1960s produced, with all due apologies to The Beach Boys, who are CCR's only competition for the title.
Hmm idk about the last statement lol. I'd put The Doors as the best American band ever, simply bcos they were so innovative and versatile. Then CCR and TBB.
Love this song ! .. It's always been my favourite out of all of CCR's many fantastic records .. And the video just makes it even better .. Such a wonderfully happy vibe .. Glad you guys enjoyed it too !
Back in the day, people ascribed almost every song reference to drugs. This was actually a Dr. Seuss type of inspiration written at least in part for John's son Josh.
God I miss those days! The music was so incredible back then... High school was a non-stop party! It seems like yesterday. Great job you guys! I so glad you're listening to this. Thank you!
This song captures that time so perfectly, 1970, SO GRATEFUL to have been there at the time to experience that world, which was magical but seems to be gone forever. One of my favorite songs ever
I was 5 years old when I first hear CCR back in my country , Father said that I was jumping all around ,my father still has that LP, and I still listen to CCR
I remember listening to CCR while on active duty '69-'70. I found their Proud Mary album in the black market of Naples, Italy. I was the first guy on my ship to find it. It made me very popular. lol
Fogerty also played the piano on this track. He added piano and organ in the studio on their albums. And saxophone! I don't think he ever played keys on stage though.
These songs bring me back immediately to like 1969, 1970... 8-track tapes, giant speakers laying in the back window well, shakes, burgers, fries , roller skates. Yeah I loved it!
This was the first song I remember. Had a Fisher Price record player. Found the 45 in my parent's record cabinet. I was about 2. Still has an impact 45 years later.
Love love love this happy song! Reminds me of my late mother, this was her favourite song. Great choice! Check out another happy song (and a personal favourite) Lighthouse's One Fine Morning.
Since there doesn't seem to be many comments yet, I though I would tell you a little about the foolish mistake that John Fogarty made when the band started their music career.You might have already heard this,if so,just ignore this.If you want the story,which is a cautionary tale for up and coming artists.John Fogarty started this band,wrote most of their songs(except for a few covers of other songs that they recorded),produced most of their music,sang lead on every song and lead guitar on every song,also.Basically,not to put down the rest of the band,but John was CCR.He even named the band.When that first started getting famous,a record company signed them.Back in those days,artists didn't know that they needed agents to take care of the business side of things.So,John worked out a deal and signed it,just happy to be signed by a record company.A few years later the band broke up and John went on to a solo career.Now,here is the messed up part.The contract he signed gave all rights to the music and band name to the record company and they really screwed John big time.They sold Tina Turner the rights to record and perform John's song "Proud Mary" and let the remaining members go on using that name and performing the songs.John,trying to set out on his own,found out that although everything about these songs were his,he was not allowed to perform them in his shows.SO, CCR could go on performing John's songs and Tina Turner could still keep performing "Proud Mary" but John couldn't perform his own songs.The contract was valid for 10 years.So,until the ten yrs were up,the band he started and named went on using that name and performing his songs and Tina could keep performing "Proud Mary", but he wasn't allowed to perform his own songs.Artists got smart after this and started having agents look out for their best interest.The ten years have gone by and John can now perform his own songs and the band name can't be used by anyone else,but for ten years John got screwed because he was a young musician who didn't have the business knowledge to protect his music from record companies who took advantage.
Old school is the best school. I remember Cosmos Factory. My friend Darlene & I would listen to albums like this & look at Teen magazine.,talk about our crushes like David Cassidy & Davy Jones.
I like a couple of phrases that give me fun mental pictures. "giants doing cartwheels" & "tambourines & elephants were playing in the band". I find both delightful.
Like Three Dog Night, CCR is a crowd pleaser. Great picnic music; nothing better than sitting under a tree on a blanket sipping a beer and listening to CCR while the kids play frisbee.
My gosh my mom would sing this song because this was her teen years music and she used to make up her own words. It wasn't until my 20s that I learned the real words. But it still brings warm memories to my heart.
It is that Northern Cali vibe , most people think of La and South Cal, but Northern Cal has its own very laid back take it easy and do what you gotta do and make time for the sunrise personality
You guys should react to Sick and Beautiful Artificial Joy Club. My dad was the lead guitarist in that band and they got a major record label. They almost made it big playing at festivals with bands like Van Halen and Trooper. But then the Vice president of their record company gave most of their budget to Smash Mouth. (No hate to smash mouth. My dad was actually friends with them.)
CCR , and John F. are pure musical genius. I first heard them, more decades ago than i want to remember. If you listen your way through their entire catalog, it seems to defy belief that so many great, eternally classic songs could be written in such a short period of time. (ccr's recording career was only four years )
I can tell you a little about the band. The lead singer John Fogerty, is still singing on his own and is crushing it at the age of 80. The blonde haired guy with the beard is John's brother Thomas Fogerty. I remember many years ago when Thomas passed away from liver cancer at either the age of 47 or 49? Not exactly sure of his age at death. The drummer Doug Harrison is still to this day the drummer for the band Creedence Clearwater Revisited, a CCR tribute band. Not sure about the bassist.
You nailed it, Lex. The artists today doing what they call "Americana" draw inspiration from the music of a lot of earlier artists -- from many different decades.
Comparing to now, they were pretty down to earth. At that time they were Top World band, but still no arrogance. Infighting and jealousy is what dissolved this seemingly happy band. And they got f***ed by their label.
This song is about the joy of making music! Playing and singing is such an amazing gift to give yourself, and there's no reason not to enjoy it from the start. We live in a crazy society that compares and critiques everything instead of giving space to breathe and be. It's time we brought the joy of making music back home instead of farming it out to corporations who gate keep talent and art and mostly innundate us with so much garbage we never find the good stuff.
@John Fischer Agreed, but I still keep putting off taking outdoor survival courses. I keep telling myself I'll take some courses and learn some basic survival skills, but haven't come around to it yet. If there was no food in stores, I'd starve in less than a week. Actually, I'd probably die of dehydration in a couple days as our water systems, gas providers, electrical providers, etc., might also go down in such a time. I think it would be fun to learn to grow most of my own crops, irrigate, build homes and furniture, and perhaps some livestock handling, though I don't know if I have the stomach for it. It's easy to go to the store and buy "meat" - it's a whole other skill and feeling to raise or hunt or trap an animal, know how to kill it without getting injured and without ruining the flesh in the process, know how to skin it and dress it and make use of all its organs, skin, bones, sinews, etc. And that's not to mention breeding, taking care of them, branding them, castrating them, clipping horns and claws and hooves, etc. There's a lot to learn and I think it all would be a very satisfying process to the natural animal that I am under all these layers of societal conditioning. Thanks for the reminder!
For CCR songs, I suggest Proud Mary, Green River, and Bad Moon Rising. The last one is political and is surprisingly timely. CCR is the answer to a frequently asked trivia question - Who had the most Top Ten hits without ever having a #1?
When I was a kid, and cars only had room for one CD, Creedence Clearwater Revival's greatest hits record was basically the soundtrack to every road trip.
This song always reminds me of the film "The Big Lebowski" with Jeff Bridges playing the iconic 'Dude' ... you must watch that comedy some time, it's iconic!!
John wrote this when his kid (daughter,i believe) was only like 3 or 4.The circus came to town and she was all excited about seeing all of the performers (in those days,when the circus came to town,they did a parade through town to advertise and show off some of there performers).John wrote this for her and was describing things that she was seeing,adding quite a bit of other silly things to make her laugh
Hmm all this time I just thought they were trippin
@@Wreck-it_Ralph yep, me too

I love that Lex loves CCR!
Yes kids this "old school", from the early to late sixties.
Just simple music to enjoy and sing along to.
Late 60s and 70s, like all the best classic rock. 👍
Still some of that these days if you know where to look. :D
Really? I have looked around litterally hours every day and have almost lost
hope for real music. I´m kind of a music nerd. Nirvana was the last band that
makes my poor old heart pound a little extra.
I bought my first 45 in 1964. It was Love Me Do - The Beatles. Loved almost everything
they did. My next music love was CCR in 1969 and that love still last.
Then Black Sabbath and The Ramones and Sex Pistols. The 80s was miserable

Best music EVER!
I really love how CCR could go from blues to rock, r & b, and back to country. Amazing band!
CCR is timeless, this was around 50 years ago, I imagine people will still be listening to CCR 100 years from now.
Their vibe is so homey. Listening to CCR always makes me feel like I'm with my family.
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll find no sorrows.....love that line so much
An electric guitar, bass, a simple drum kit, rounded out with an AMAZING vocalist...just perfection!!!
Yeah, just pure simple and soothing music
If you listen really closely you'll hear John playing bottleneck dobro (a resonator guitar often played slide) throughout the song. Easiest place to hear the dobro very clearly is in the beginning where the guitar lick mimics the "doo doo doo, lookin' out my backdoor" lyric.

His voice is so clear and resonant then suddenly growling with a natural vibrato. Great joyful tune.
So glad you guys liked this one. This song is my childhood. I'll always remember my Dad playing it on his guitar when I was knee high, and I'd always want him to play it again.
Oh, this reaction opens up a floodgate, because CCR was incredible always.
Such a happy song no matter how you interpret it 😊
When you can't describe the feeling, that's soul.

@@Butters66 sure. Also add The Marshall Tucker Band andNew Riders of the Purple Sage.
@@Butters66 That's when they had their hits
Impossible not to like. It's great when the musicians are enjoying themselves.
I don't think the rest of the band enjoyed playing for ultra-perfectionist John Fogerty. Who also made a famously bad financial deal.
A Perfect Song!!!!!
Brad & Lex you'll love their "Proud Mary", "Up Around The Bend" and "Sweet Hitch-Hiker"!!!
Yes! And Green River, Born on a Bayou, Suzie Q, Down on the Corner, whole bunch more
@@jamison8185 they've done Bayou 7 months ago
"Travellin´ Band","Long As I Can See The Light" and "Tombstone Shadow" are my suggestions.
So glad you love this happy song. It was always one of my favorites. It is not about drugs. It is a happy song. Pure whimsical delight.
Love this song ! .. It's always been my favourite out of all of CCR's many fantastic records .. And the video just makes it even better .. Such a wonderfully happy vibe .. Glad you guys enjoyed it too !
The 70's we're the decade of the bands and the best rock music. Check out Proud Mary and Up Around the Bend.
It’s hard not to smile when you hear this song.😎👍
He wrote it for his son 3 year old Josh...it has the distinction of being number 1 in Both the Rock and County Charts at the same time..
CCR had more #2 hits than anyone but never got to number 1. Just a great great band
I love watching you two enjoying the music of my generation. Lex is too cute for her own good, lol. Rock on girl. You guys are a great couple.
Classic CCR. ❤
I love that song. I looked just like that dude back in the day. They are the coolest band ever. Thanks for covering it.
Love practically anything from CCR! ☺♥
I loved her singing doot doot doo. ❤
oh 1970....love it....cruising around the streets of Melbourne, Australia, with CCR blasting..those were the days.
This song pulls me out of any bad mood. Emotional first aid at its finest. ❤️
it just kinda cracks me up that I would've said back then that they were absolutely Not Country. I love them , always have. such a country vibe. ❤️✌️
Back in the day, people ascribed almost every song reference to drugs. This was actually a Dr. Seuss type of inspiration written at least in part for John's son Josh.
I imagine him pointing out shapes in the clouds with his child.
This is such a happy song
God I miss those days! The music was so incredible back then... High school was a non-stop party! It seems like yesterday. Great job you guys! I so glad you're listening to this. Thank you!
That song is the epitome of good vibes to me. You turn it on and you instantly feel good. Just love it.

CCR rocks. Check out this little known tune by them that never really caught anybody's attention. "Don't Look Now" sure to get two thumbs up from Lex
yeah so many obscure songs on the albums, many forgotten jewels in there which no one ever suggests, a shame really

CCR is always 🔥🔥
What a band!
We were in a little town called Troy, Oregon and heard him play. We had no idea he lived there and no idea he would be singing! What a treat!
Always brings a smile to my face.
These songs are almost 50 yrs old. Still sound as great as when I first heard them in 1970
Over 50
@@alrivers2297 you’re right my bad, too much weed in my youth I guess. But they were the conscience of my generation

I found the song myself two years ago and it's been my favorite since. Just perfectly innocent and happy vibes
You should look for CCR Chronicles. That's their greatest hits album. The album has 20 songs on it LOL
Love love love this happy song! Reminds me of my late mother, this was her favourite song. Great choice!

The Dude is on CCR in The Big Lebowski.
It's a fantastic flight of fancy and jangly goodness.
Musically this was a throwback for the time. They were familiar with a lot of traditional styles of American folk music.
definitely. you can hear a good amount of Bakersfield country in this one
Ya'll need to hear some killer deep cut CCR songs like either Tombstone Shadow or Sinister Purpose.
It is that Northern Cali vibe , most people think of La and South Cal, but Northern Cal has its own very laid back take it easy and do what you gotta do and make time for the sunrise personality
