my mom would bump this song whenever we would clean the entire house (we called it sunday funday smh). She unfortunate passed away last month and I listen to this while cleaning to give me the same motivation she had. RIP momma🖤
@@saracastleberry5785 - I do to Sara. I'm 67 and grew up in the heart of the four best decades of Rock & Roll. There will never be another time like the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's for music.
I love this song, it's perfect for old folks like me! I bet there are already hip-hop fans much younger than me, listening back to the golden days of Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five -- and of course there are folks much older than me who fondly remember Elvis and Frank Sinatra. My hope is that everyone will listen to a bit of their parents' and grandparents' favorite music, just to get a better feel for who they are. There's so much awesome music to listen to!

choco flavored cookies 56 I think no one, you can tell what are going to be classics and what aren’t going to be. I think almost nothing since 2010 and barely anything since 2000-10 will be regarded as a classic. It’s not got enough soul and meaning to it.

Kind of yes. I disagree with him somewhat, because disco music sounds very good to me. I like all types of music: rock, disco, metal, rap, New Age music (like Enya), etc. it simply depends what mood I am in. Whenever I feel like meeting women I am in the mood for disco for some reason I’m not sure about. 🙂

@@kenperk9854 To each their own. I was born in '94 and I love music from the entire 20th century from the 1900s to the 1990s. When it comes to music, I live by the saying, "Variety is the spice of life. I don't have anything against today's music. I mean, I like Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons.

I can picture baby brother dancing to this all those years ago. Long before Segar, he told me "I like oldies ~ the songs you listened to." I was insulted ~ I was in my early 20s ~ oldies was '50s music.
This is the kind of music that makes you nostalgic for a memory that never happened. I really wish my friends could appreciate this kind of music more, all they listen to is pop and musicals.
maybe i'm that old but my kids also love this song and other older rock songs i'm 52 and my kids are 29 and 33 , they went though that rap music but we all now love that older rock and roll but me still and always love the old time rock and role!!!!! don't need to post words cause some of older ones know the words!!!!! LOL
@@lisagagne3438 yeah, the younger people get it seems the less they care about this kind of music. I'm 16 and practically no one I know listens to rock but maybe that's just me lol.

Chad Szott no not that. The other versions sound nothing like this one. They sound like they're recorded live, with the audience cheering and everything, and the song just sounds different in those versions. As if it goes to another beat.
You got that right At 75 still going strong, They aint getting no new unused shinny body when I go down. I will be sliding in there side way,s singing Old Time Rock & Roll.
larry mccombs especially in my country,where turbo folk is main music and many people are fuckin' crazy,I feel like one of a few normal men who knows what is a music with soul ! Rock n Roll
Elvis Presley use to say singing music to him was all about how you feel he sung songs from his heart a soul he was the best singer a entertainer to ever walk the earth in the 20 th Centry.
I'm 19 now but I remember lake days coming home windows down hair blowing this song blasting grandma smoking her cigarette when I was around 5 this song will forever be a core memory
Great song my late husband and me loved this song when it came on we would both sing to it and in the car i almost would dance to it.Loved it and Bob Seger too.Still like him.😊😍
Just learned of his passing. So sorry to hear of his passing; my sincere condolences to his family & friends, including Bob Seger & the rest of the band. I love to watch him perform. I watch the 1982 Old Time Rock n Roll video at least once a day. I think that was the official video for the Tom Cruise Risky Business movie. Bob said Alto was their Rock Star & I believe it; he was so talented & so sexy. RIP
@@shirleyblackwell5972 Damn, I kind of just assumed he was saying he tried to play this on saxophone and messed up the reed for his Alto Saxophone. But yes, that is very unfortunate.
Probably the best concert I ever went to was Bob Seger. No lead band and no intermission just about three hours of full strength rock and roll! That was back in the days when floor tickets meant standing room and you battled your way as close to the front as you were able and I ALWAYS got floor tickets
Just take those old records off the shelf I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock n' roll Don't try to take me to a disco You'll never even get me out on the floor In ten minutes I'll be late for the door I like that old time rock n' roll Still like that old time rock n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n' roll Won't go to hear them play a tango I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul There's only one sure way to get me to go Start playing old time rock n' roll Call me a relic, call me what you will Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock n' roll Still like old time rock n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n' roll
I had to seek this song out as absolutely love it.. They really don't make music like this anymore, brilliant song never gets old and Bob seger has the most amazing raspy soulful gravely voice. Merry Christmas everyone
I was so stupid, I first thought when I heard this was he was talking about music in the past two years, but this song was made in 1978 so he was talking about music from a long time ago
This song came out in 1978. Sweet Child O' Mine came out in 1987. This was still a great time for music. He had no idea how bad it would get. Either that or he was WAY ahead of his time.
Thank you for playing my favorite song I am from Michigan when I met my favorite person I asked for him to take me someplace he wanted me to take me to see Bob Seger and I said who's Bob Seger so we went downtown to Joe Louis Arena and we were in the audience it was wonderful for the first of my life I met my favorite singer and he still is after all the years have gone by and everything thank you Bob Seger you are my idol and You're Still rocking and rolling God love you and thank you for everything and thanks for the song🥰😇💙💜❤🥰🤩👍
My daughter is only 3 years young, she discovered this song from the domino's pizza commercial. i walked out to the living room and she sliding in her socks re-interacting the 'air guitar' part. every time we get into the car, she says "mommy play the rock n roll song, that is my jam right now". Bless her little heart.
Even in the 70s, people reminisced about the days of old. 😌😔 "Today's music ain't got the same soul." That's damn right. This is a song that will never get old

Every time one of those explicit raps from recent years comes on, I go straight to this masterpiece as it’s the truth in every way shape and form. One of the best songs ever written....
Not every song from the 60s and 70s is amazing. The reason we think it is, and the reason we rate those eras so highly is because we only remember the good tracks and albums. With today’s music, we remember a lot more of the music that comes out, so we don’t build up a collection of iconic music as easily as you could when the Beatles or The Rolling Stones were performing. But I’m sure, if you put the average musical releases of, for example, 1965, up against 2021, you would see that the quality of song isn’t that different, you just hear more modern music in large quantities, so you fail to find the great quality ones If you want some good modern music, Hypersonic Missiles by Sam Fender, Never Enough and New House by Rex Orange County and a lot of Two Door Cinema club songs are fantastic showings of what modern musicians can do. Please don’t dismiss today’s music so easily. “Guess you guys might not be ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it”
@@baronbrrrrett it’s true. If you showed people in the 30s some Beatles, they’d hate it. If you showed some people in the 60s some NWA, they’d hate it. People’s taste in music changes with the time. That’s why, in 20 years time, people will look back on music in the 2010s and 2020s and love it so much

The older this song gets , the better it gets. Honestly
It ages like fine wine.
True words spoken here.
I know that is right

Know something though? This song came out in the seventies.
Looks like people are always dissatisfied with their music.

Can't believe this song isn't regarded as one of his best. I think it absolutely is.
It is and its the best to dance to
Nah I get it tbh. This song is great, but not close to his best.
It was , second most song play in Duke boxes behind Patsy Cline song
It's just a shame that the Man himself didn't write it.
God is coming soon. Repent

@@kenperk9854 To each their own. I was born in '94 and I love music from the entire 20th century from the 1900s to the 1990s. When it comes to music, I live by the saying, "Variety is the spice of life. I don't have anything against today's music. I mean, I like Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons.

Happy Birthday Bob! #74 today. This song still rocks my world..
slides across the floor with socks and a long sleeve button up
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll
Everybody
Old time rock and roll
That kinda music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll, Drew Abbott!
Won't go to hear 'em play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playin' old time rock and roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll
That kinda music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll
Old time rock and roll
Baby, just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll
Everybody come on
Old time rock and roll
Baby, just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll
Old time rock and roll
It just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll
It's not like the old time rock and roll
Alright
Alright
Alright, just one more
Great job transcribing the song....but I don't know where you heard, "Drew Abbott." Who the HELL is Drew Abbott anyhow??!!?
We know the words ! ☹️
@@ghryder Yeah, but we non native English speakers may miss some words!😐
This song is my cell ring tone! A majestic tribute to my era of the 1950's.
Mine too!

The message of this song is more relevant than it has ever been.
Still listening to this song in 2024 at age 77 I like it because you can understand the song it's better than the music today.
This is August of 2024 and I'm 65 years old and I love my Bob Seger
71 and yes and yes
if you're looking for good modern music, you can try Jesse Welles - Seventeen ... let me know :)
76 and I still love this song! Play it all the time, gets me moving!
I can picture baby brother dancing to this all those years ago. Long before Segar, he told me "I like oldies ~ the songs you listened to." I was insulted ~ I was in my early 20s ~ oldies was '50s music.
My friend asked me why I listen to mostly classic rock. I sent her this song as my response
Good song too 👌😎
This was the song me and my husband chose to enter our wedding ceremony. We had one hell of a time. Best song ever
@@bobseger9336 Scammer alert.
That's creative.
My grandma used to dance around the house with me to this song RIP grandma I love and miss you so much
R.I.P
Sorry for your loss. At least it looks like you had a great grandma, which has a great taste of music.
@@vedaa3708 You know R.I.P stands for rot in piss, right?
Lonely Forever it means REST.IN.PEACE
Awww so sorry for your loss
This is the kind of music that makes you nostalgic for a memory that never happened. I really wish my friends could appreciate this kind of music more, all they listen to is pop and musicals.
maybe i'm that old but my kids also love this song and other older rock songs i'm 52 and my kids are 29 and 33 , they went though that rap music but we all now love that older rock and roll but me still and always love the old time rock and role!!!!! don't need to post words cause some of older ones know the words!!!!! LOL
@@lisagagne3438 yeah, the younger people get it seems the less they care about this kind of music. I'm 16 and practically no one I know listens to rock but maybe that's just me lol.
I like todays music too,but i wanna old time rock and roll
14 person here and ye, I hate todays music but this stuff is extremely good, fuck pop, rap, and country
@@elementalofdark5555 i was born in the late 60.s , 13 yrs old in 80's child late 80's child early 90's sorry they are about 5yrs apart. so brings me knowing all music from 50's to now ALL BUT RAP!!!!
Still gets the blood pumpin. Used to hear it every day at 5:00 on the way home from work. Love it.
80s and 90s UK and USA bands were so awesome. And country singers too. Proper done what they sung about. From the soul.
The 70s were the best though ,,
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
One day as I played this in the car my daughter said....
"It's an Old Song about Old Songs."
That just really made me *Think*
LOL!!!
Cubtractor
Awesome
Oldception! Lol
I would have looked at and said; Well, at least I know you're getting an education in school....LOL
Thats awesome
Me and my grandpa's fav song and now he is no longer with me.every time I listen to this song I feel like he is with me 😢🙂
This was one of my husband, Bob's, favorite song. I play it from time to time as a way to remember him.
BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION!!!
It's on there it's on my list
Bandit Justice can you share your playlist?
Matt D Love this song
same here. it seems like the other versions are sped up
Chad Szott no not that. The other versions sound nothing like this one. They sound like they're recorded live, with the audience cheering and everything, and the song just sounds different in those versions. As if it goes to another beat.
Luv Bob. That song is right on the money! Old time rock n roll! Music today Sucks
Lordy, love this! Born in the 50's but grew up loving all kinds of music!
me too :)
❤. 83 and still love this having it played at my funeral with Status Quo Rocking all over the world only way to go 🎉
You got that right At 75 still going strong, They aint getting no new unused shinny body when I go down. I will be sliding in there side way,s singing Old Time Rock & Roll.
Listening to this during the 2020 pandemic, stay safe everyone ❤

Stay safe
Thanks you too bro
Happy Birthday Bob! #74 today. This song still rocks my world..
Lol I only found this song from American Dad 😂😂😂
@@youngmikez3908 Same
I liked this song back when it first came out and still do today..
Classics never get old.
It's like fine whine.
It gets better with age.
They don't make them like this anymore. This is timeless.
I think Bob Seger predicted the future
@Haunter of the Dark His music didn't say "Gucci gang" over and over again for 4 mins though and make it to the top 100 chart.
Today's music ain't got the same soul,I like that old time Rock n Roll !
larry mccombs especially in my country,where turbo folk is main music and many people are fuckin' crazy,I feel like one of a few normal men who knows what is a music with soul ! Rock n Roll
Rasa Glodjovic. i 100 percent agree with you. call me a relic call me what you will.
Yeah Agree!
Rasa Glodjovic yes.
The lyrics are even truer now than they were when the song was originally written.
I can't stop replaying this song
me too.
Same
Ya me either
Same dude
Me too!
SENSATIONAL AWESOME BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY AMAZING WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Elvis Presley use to say singing music to him was all about how you feel he sung songs from his heart a soul he was the best singer a entertainer to ever walk the earth in the 20 th Centry.
What a great song, I roll down my windows and blast it and hope all the old timers hear it and say “fuck yeah, that’s some music right there!”
HELL YEA IM 1 OF THEM. I BLASTED IT EVERY TIME IM DRIVING. I MAKE DAMN GOOD TIME WERE IM GOING LOL
Awesome alright ...
I AM an "'Old Timer" and it IS !
Hell yeah.
Driving my Jeep and listening to the oldies... on a country road, with an adult beverage!
I have never been a rocker but this song just says something, as Bob says sooths the soul

It's funky, and earthy and cool...and hey I'm 70...!!
Well I'm 14 and love this! Shows that the good ones last forever.... generation to generation.

Aw...
1:56 RIP Alto Reed, saxophonist
May 16, 1948 - December 30, 2020
🖤
Just learned of his passing. So sorry to hear of his passing; my sincere condolences to his family & friends, including Bob Seger & the rest of the band. I love to watch him perform. I watch the 1982 Old Time Rock n Roll video at least once a day. I think that was the official video for the Tom Cruise Risky Business movie.
Bob said Alto was their Rock Star & I believe it; he was so talented & so sexy. RIP
I'm 11 so I just like these kinda songs but I do no that ban members are important rest in peace
@@elizademes1516 that’s me
RIP 🖤
My his legacy live on in the music he made
@@shirleyblackwell5972 Damn, I kind of just assumed he was saying he tried to play this on saxophone and messed up the reed for his Alto Saxophone. But yes, that is very unfortunate.
this song is right today's music doesn't have the same soul
“Today’s music” is 1978 music.
Pillow Pet Daisy It regained it in the early 2000's but lost it again very quickly.
There is still good music you just gotta find it
the music does have the same soul if you listen to the right band and song but they are few and far between
It went mostly bad after the mid 80s ol
Nothing better than rock-n-roll.
old time rock n roll is and always will be the best I don't care what anyone says long live rock love this song
I am listening in Nov of 2019. I am 68 and I love this music. I grew up listening to ld time rock and roll.
Hell yeah
Oh yeah I’m 32 and love it and always will
Yes this music is good
respesct
FrillyJilly good to hear
Probably the best concert I ever went to was Bob Seger. No lead band and no intermission just about three hours of full strength rock and roll! That was back in the days when floor tickets meant standing room and you battled your way as close to the front as you were able and I ALWAYS got floor tickets
"Today's music ain't got the same soul..." So right.
@Haunter of the Dark FACTS!!!
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself

I remember singing this two years ago. Still remember most of the lyrics!
We all need some old time rock and roll rn
I was born September 25 1967 and today music doesn't have the same soul I like that old time Rock n Roll That kind of music just soothes my soul
I had to seek this song out as absolutely love it.. They really don't make music like this anymore, brilliant song never gets old and Bob seger has the most amazing raspy soulful gravely voice. Merry Christmas everyone
How are you doing today friend greetings to you. sorry to intrude your privacy
Merry Christmas

This song brings back old memories. The best a favorite song by him.
There is no better music than this ❤
U can say that again
Rockin' Robert! ❤
@@maxwellgridj4060 o
Definitely the greatest song it gets you motivated to get moving
I was so stupid, I first thought when I heard this was he was talking about music in the past two years, but this song was made in 1978 so he was talking about music from a long time ago
Yea but today’s music still sucks
Crusty Dusty Dinosaur he was talking about the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s.
I believe, but idk for certain, he's criticizing disco/funk music, think the bee gees.
The late 70s, 80s and 90s still had kickass music compared to now.
Yes, he literally says, "Don't take me to a disco. You won't even get me out on the floor."
He didn't like disco. xD
This song is like a fine wine the older it gets the better it is
This song came out in 1978.
Sweet Child O' Mine came out in 1987.
This was still a great time for music.
He had no idea how bad it would get.
Either that or he was WAY ahead of his time.
I cannot stand Sweet Child O Mine, I'd do anything to make the radio stop playing that song.
😂👌
I'd say a bit of both.
Don’t really understand what’s wrong with today’s music....
@@mikeMVP16 stfu
Thank you for playing my favorite song I am from Michigan when I met my favorite person I asked for him to take me someplace he wanted me to take me to see Bob Seger and I said who's Bob Seger so we went downtown to Joe Louis Arena and we were in the audience it was wonderful for the first of my life I met my favorite singer and he still is after all the years have gone by and everything thank you Bob Seger you are my idol and You're Still rocking and rolling God love you and thank you for everything and thanks for the song🥰😇💙💜❤🥰🤩👍
My daughter is only 3 years young, she discovered this song from the domino's pizza commercial. i walked out to the living room and she sliding in her socks re-interacting the 'air guitar' part. every time we get into the car, she says "mommy play the rock n roll song, that is my jam right now". Bless her little heart.
Epic👌 I’m here from South Park
And then everyone clapped
@@bungiecrimes7247 aww :)
Make sure she gets his entire catalog (including deep cuts) before she goes to kindergarten.
Kid's got some great music taste.
This song will never fail to give me goosebumps. Born in 1995 but an old soul thanks to my parents!
Same here and I was born in 1994.
Ya this song is my grammar school days.
Are you my pillow CASE
Same here but 2009
Born 2001 and my parents are 70s and 80s and listen both. Love both.
Even as a thirteen year old, my culture will always be in my blood.
May have been born in the 2000's but what can I say I like my old time rock n roll ?
Even in the 70s, people reminisced about the days of old. 😌😔
"Today's music ain't got the same soul." That's damn right.
This is a song that will never get old
Wowzers cool man rock n roll
You literally copied the person above you word for word
Johnny Rodriguez stolen comment
You stole this comment verbatim .
Today's music ain't got the same soul, its that old time rock n roll 😎🎸🎸✌
You right
You got that right it'll never be the same again rock back in the 70s and the 80s was clearly music that's why I still being played today
at this point this song is old time rock and roll. but lyrics do have a point
this song is true to form. today's music sucks. old time rock n roll is where its at.
George Larson hell yeah 👏🏻
everybody talking bout the new sounds funny, but it still rock n roll to me.
Yeah especially with our music in our generation.
Try the Billy Joel song.

Thanks.
Every time one of those explicit raps from recent years comes on, I go straight to this masterpiece as it’s the truth in every way shape and form. One of the best songs ever written....
cause apparently you're trapped in the 2000-2010 i think every rap is eminem
Here is an interesting fact: Bob Seger never wrote this song.
Except that doesn’t work
I get goosebumps when he says today music ain't got the same soul....🎶🎶 soo true 😔
I know right 😔
Not every song from the 60s and 70s is amazing. The reason we think it is, and the reason we rate those eras so highly is because we only remember the good tracks and albums.
With today’s music, we remember a lot more of the music that comes out, so we don’t build up a collection of iconic music as easily as you could when the Beatles or The Rolling Stones were performing. But I’m sure, if you put the average musical releases of, for example, 1965, up against 2021, you would see that the quality of song isn’t that different, you just hear more modern music in large quantities, so you fail to find the great quality ones
If you want some good modern music, Hypersonic Missiles by Sam Fender, Never Enough and New House by Rex Orange County and a lot of Two Door Cinema club songs are fantastic showings of what modern musicians can do.
Please don’t dismiss today’s music so easily. “Guess you guys might not be ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it”
@@LeoGuidi ah yes, a Back to the Future reference at the end :)
@@baronbrrrrett it’s true. If you showed people in the 30s some Beatles, they’d hate it. If you showed some people in the 60s some NWA, they’d hate it. People’s taste in music changes with the time. That’s why, in 20 years time, people will look back on music in the 2010s and 2020s and love it so much
@@LeoGuidi oh. That i didn't know. 😅
