Tin Tin - Toast and Marmalade for Tea
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2009
- This is Tin Tin's international hit mixed with the video for another of their songs, "Is That the Way." I thought it might fit nice together being that the line "sailing ships upon the sea" from Toast and Marmalade for Tea, is exactly what they are doing here.

I am 72 shortly and I love this song to bits...such nostalgia from a time when life was truly beautiful...
I feel exactly the same.
Me 3!🥳🤙
Me 4 !
When you are young, life is truly beautiful!
@@robertthacher agreed and yet again without age what would nostalgia be?
On my 14th birthday, my parents gave me a radio transistor as a present. This was one of the songs playing on the radio. Loved it so much. Tomorrow I'm going to be 66 ❤
Back when capitalism ruled supreme. Before the c0mnunists took over mass media and the senate
This Song is the ultimate hidden gem from its time.
I had forgotten about this great song
This song reminds me of many people who have passed away.
Great family and friends from wonderful days gone by.
Only music can bring back moving moments like this..............
77 years old in a couple of months and I still enjoy this song as if I was hearing it for the first time. It's just the simplicity of the words and the magic of the music and harmonies. Those were the days.
Amen John
Just goes to show, the simplest things are the most beautiful.
49 years flew by me like a puff of smoke. It was the days of love , wine and the best music. God blessed us with the 70's
Growing old is sad
Wholeheartedly agree. We lived in the best era for music and life in general.
Seventies were heaven for me...nothing can compare ....
Seventies were heaven for me...nothing can compare ....
Yes!!!!!😊👍👍👍👍
Goosebumps!!!!!! What a simple yet beautiful tune! Ahhh 1971, 14 yrs old not a care in the world , listening to gems like this. Please,anyone have a time machine?
In my 20's but it popped into my head
i need that time machine @@user-gv7hl9ct9b
The Time Machine would be cool but you wouldn’t be young even in 1971
We're the same age. Heard this on the radio after my 14th birthday
There is something so sweet and innocent and about this song, with its lovely harmonies and haunting quirky sound. I first heard it on the radio when I was about 11 and every now and then it just pops into my head and I have to listen to it again. Takes me back to when life was a lot simpler than it is today. Thanks for posting.
The intro sounds like someone's playing a record, that was left sitting on the dashboard in the hot summer sun. 😊
@oldiesgeek,. I heard that it was due to someone in the studio pressing against the tape machine inadvertently. After they played it, they thought it gave the song a different quality, so they left it in. All the best and may God bless.
Someone on here commented "once heard, never forgotten". This is true. My friend was making toast with jam and peanut butter the other day at breakfast and the lyrics came back to me again and I sang the 1st line to her and I finally looked it up, I never knew who it was by. There is something of life's mystery in its beautiful simplicity.
Toast with marmelade and tea and you with peanut butter as well. Toast with peanut butter and jam or honey is my go to after supper snack. :)
Every once in a while a pop song comes out with haunting melody that sticks and this gem from 1971 is an example.
EU AMO ESSA MUSICA...SE DEIXAR ESCUTO DIA INTEIRO.❤EU VIAJO NO TEMPO❤
Not many lyrics, but the harmonies and the musical accompaniment- BRILLIANT! And, oh, the memories.....
odd isn't it...hardly any lyrics at all, but everything works so well
Just love the vocal harmonizing with these guys Takes me back to a much better time and place(damn I'm old)
Me too
I enjoyed it then as I enjoy it now...
Yep! No overdubbing, no autotune, no computer programming - Just real harmonizing, by real musicians making real music.
I was a "rock" snob as a teenager and turned my nose up at this and other similar stuff on the AM radio during the early 70's. But I heard it all because AM radio was totally ubiquitous during that time. Now, finally with some objectivity (and compared to what passes for pop music now) it so obvious what great music it really is.
And this is such a lovely tune!
Hah! I loved it then and I love it now. But I kept it on the DL because of my "rock snob" kid friends.
1971 and I was stationed at U-Tapao AFB, Thailand (during the Vietnam War). This song was on the jukebox at the pizza parlor. After 49 years, I remember it fondly.
Thank you for your service, Sir. 💖
I was there in 2004, with the C-5s for the Tsunami relief flights. This graffiti etched on the corrugated fiberglass partitions that separated the small scout type planes, was still there from 1971. 👍👍👍
Thank you for your service. I was in 6th grade when this song was popular..
My dad was at the base in Ubon a couple years earlier. No idea if he liked this song but I did. It's great.
Were you in the shit?
That was my boat, the M.Y. "Alanorah" (built by Simpson, Strickland at Dartmouth in 1893) in Aldrington Basin, Shoreham harbour. I am glimpsed going down the side deck age 22. The blond lad in a purple shirt is the father now, of my godson and lives in Michigan U.S. I am now old but still love boats and Harleys.
@PC24800
That is so cool! Thank you for sharing the history. I love this song produced by Maurice Gibb. I think Tin Tin did a wonderful job ❤
Where are you now? I am currently back in San Diego County, California where I was born. I was 6 years old in 1971, but I remember my older teen siblings listening to it on the radio and it's always been one of my favorites.🌞
Don't say you are old..lt will make you feel old...Great story.
@@annemichaels5368 After my Life partner in the boat went into a "home" for old show - biz folk and I was in France (33 yrs) I am back in this awful country in an hovel in Somerset (S.W. England). I'll be 75 on May 8th.: Alan would have been 97 on July 6th. a bit of an age gap but love is blind!! He'd been a huge star in UK back in the day and Robin Gibb did a track about him! Raise a glass to lonely old age!!!
@@maida-vale Hello! Just got your message. Thank you, for responding. Firstly, you're not old at all. You're only a little older than me. My parents were 37 years apart. I have a friend that's been trying to get me to move to the UK and, now, you say it's horrible. What makes it horrible for you? You're not obligated to answer, of course... I'm just perpetually curious. I wonder things about people so I ask. Such as why you say you are lonely when you have fabulous friends like me 💃
I also took a twirl in the spotlight and had songs written about me so I have something in common with you and your beloved Alan.
I do hope you decide to write back. I think it's fun🎉
You two should have written a book together.! !! Memoirs of The Golden Age..?? 🙏🙏🙏 to both !!
An absolute Gem of a song! Brings back so many happy memories.Rog.Pacific Sunset Records.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
I can see an audience swaying back and forth in concert with this jewel of an oldie.
Beaultiful
50 years gone in a flash !!! AWESOME..I can close my eyes and feel every moment when I first heard this song..... 😊
Those are the wonderful moments. Keep on thinking those good thoughts.
The first time I heard this song i was 13, it was very inspirational.this song is a tribute to the genuine creativity of the 1970's
OMG ! What a fantastic song. When the world was a great and much saner place, when music was music and life was for living.
Now this is what RUclips is all about.
Thanks for sharing
Peace. Love and Respect to all
sorry, nothing sane about the Cold War, rampant testing of atomic weaponry, the American war in Vietnam, the impeachment of an American president, the impending overthrow of a democratically elected government in Chile,
@@isabelrobinson5986 I think that many commentators here were children when they first heard this song in 1970. As such, they were unlikely to have been aware of the very serious events that you outline; consequently it is possible for such people - I include myself - to perceive those times as sane and very happy.
Agreed..the world was a better time and place back THAN after the 90s it went down hill.
@@isabelrobinson5986 Joyless.
Homer Bojangles not saner. Just difference. The Cold War was in full force. The Vietnam war was just over.
ESSA CANÇÃO ME FAZ RETORNAR AO PASSADO, TEMPO DE ADOLESCENTE, MUITAS SAUDADES... SEMPRE ESTOU CURTINDO ...SHOW TIN TIN..
This is pure magic and romanticism in it's purest teen mood. Not even Richard Wagner would have imagined this!!
This is one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard.
Sorry ! Pressed dislike by mistake !
Love it !
+2msvalkyrie No problem :-)
Beautiful and calming...
This song reminds me of Spring 1971, 10th grade, and the names and faces I knew.
In my early teens this song got to me and I never forgot it. I thank God for that.
Procurei essa música a vida toda,tenho 62 anos,,ouvia na quermesse,eu era um garotinho na época,e não sabia o nome dessa música, que me leva de volta ao passado,, que tempo maravilhoso,,meu Deus, só saudades,um grande abraço a vc que postou
There is nothing better in life than this song.
Since a boy in elementary school i 've always liked this song...the melody and weird music and their friendly voices!
I heard a technician accidently leaned on the tape as it played creating the weird music so they left it like that...
The song is simple but wonderful I love it I love the music and I love the times it's from my past and it's all good
A record of total Perfection. Music that could never be accomplished today. Memories that will last forever!
YES A BEAUTIFUL SONG & SO EASY TO LISTEN TO, BRINGS BACK LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES FROM DAYS GONE BY & THE BEST TIMES.❤❤❤
The simplicity and duplicability of the song is one of its greater assets - that and the fact that it really is a very good song. Makes me feel.
It definitely stirs up youthful emotions during a very turbulent time especially for the youth of fast changing world of awe and wonder and searching for a better identity to make the Columbus dream a reality for all peoples...love for life to be everlasting!!
And I still feel it stirring deep inside my soul...it feels more real then the time we left to find the way to a better Day
Beautiful song which evokes memories of a lovely, simpler time.
Hi...Not really simpler......sorta !! real ??
I was a radio jock back in 1970 and I used to hang out with these guys , as I remember they were Aussies , and they used to live opposite the Bull and Bush Pub in Hampstead for a while . Toast and Marmalade was a twee little record and quite pleasant , but sadly for TinTin it was never a hit . I don't think it worried them too much , they seemed to be quite laid back , and just got on with enjoying their lives. How innocent and full of colour it all was in those days .....Ho hummmmm. Chris Grant .
Ronnie gell trust me my friend.. They were much simpler times..just saying
Well, I tend to forget the bad things, thank goodness. But I do think things were a bit simpler then.
They were simpler, but they seemed even simpler than they were, at least for someone like me who was just short of 10 years old.
Remember this fantastic song from 1970. What a truly different world we lived in back then...😢
Different & much less stressful, simple time. 73 now & would go back without cell phones, computers & the like in a New York minute. Miss those times.
From a different era when Britain and Australia still had a special bond .
Long gone now.
Riding in the center on the front seat of a ginormous Plymouth circa 1971 listening to this song on AM Radio for the first time. My mom pulled over on the side of the road and turned up the volume. Takes me back every time i listen. when the song ended my mom extinguished her 12 inch long Winston gold cigarette by pressing it against my forehead (joking of course). For the first time i seen mom get carried away by my generation's music. Cool memory.
Wonderful song.
Beautiful SONG need it now more than ever take care be safe ALL
I love this Song!!😊
A simple, great catchy tune. But the video...a group of guys being young, goofy and being themselves.... wonderful.
I was 10 years old when I heard and fell in love with this song. I thought I could get those happy days again - that was my mistake.
What a great tune from the spring of 1971.... by Tin Tin
Thanks posting this wonderful one hit wonder!
It was a great tune, but not quite a one-hit-wonder. “Is That The Way?” peaked at #59. Tin Tin also had enough record sales to justify the release of a second album.
Good to know , I was 20/21 when this song came with a lot of self inflicted heartaches. As complicated as times were for me , it was really simple common sense rules that I learned later on in life that turned me around
Good for you. Some people never come to that reality. For me, it's enjoying simple things that most people take for granted. Sunshine, warm temperatures, a walk in the woods. A cup of coffee. Little things that sometimes we take for granted. All the best and may God bless.
I am 70; & loved this song since it came out.😊
Saw a squirrel eating toast & thought of this song. Included part of song in wildlife video on my channel.
Truly an all time beautiful song!
Our 38 year old daughter has just made a batch of lime marmalade and I knew this song way back when . I’ve just had my 70 th .. I’ve sent my daughter and her husband the link . Such nostalgia , oh my .. from nsw Australia .
Takes me back to my first day of high school, September 1973. For some reason I was humming this song on my way to school and this memory stayed with me all these years.
+Ron Bozek Oh man, your comment really struck a chord with me! September 1973 was my first year of Junior High, and my first day was anything but pleasant-Full of depression and anxiety. The most popular song at the time was Get Down by Gilbert 'O Sullivan. To this day, if that song comes on the oldies channel, I immediately turn the sound all the way down. It's just too painful. Isn't it funny how a song can trigger your subconscious like that?
Music has a way of doing that, sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in a not-so-positive way. This song is a positive memory for me (even though I ended up hating high school, lol).
I'm so pleased that I've rediscovered this today after 45 years. Thank you to the internet for Search Engines.
I think this Lil diamond came out in 71, now 2023 and still sweet and quaint.
Life can be a lonely venture...however when I read the responses I am heartened with the obvious reality that there are many kindred souls such as my good self...
1970 I was 8 love those days, simple days of childhood 😢
never forgot this song
i was 14 years old a Freshman in High school- met my first Love- love this song always! So many memories of being young!!!
hardly any words but so nice...makes me think of my daughters...maybe it's the word 'lovely'
Listening to this while eating toast and marmalade and drinking tea = bliss.
A really beautiful song. So simple, yet so affecting. Once heard, never forgotten, always loved.
Funny. This song pops into my head often when I'm making toast. I first heard it back when I was a child. I'm 64 now. Still love it.
I love that warbling, saturated piano sound so much!
a beautiful song , it takes me back to a time that seemed free and easy yet turbulant at the same time
Que raridade do meu tempo de menino. Tocava nas rádios, em festa de Igreja. Pura nostalgia! Sensação de volta ao passado. Saudades!
I've loved it ever since I was a kid
If only we could turn the clock back to when life was wonderful
Loved to sing and play this song. Came across it and the memories flowed!❤
Maurice Gibb produced this and played bass on this masterpiece.
You can always tell a Maurice Gibb opening base line on his Rickenbacker stereo in a ballad. It has that signature Mo' sound...Love the way he just falls into the melody and carries it from below.
It sounds like a Bee Gees written song. A little like "I started a Joke".
@@m.e.d.7997 This was on the flip side of the Bee Gees "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." Old 45 rpm record I had back in 1972 . Played it a zillion times. Memories of days long past but seems like yesterday.
Bit sloppy on the bass at the start of the song
Margaret ~ it sounds a LOT like “I Started A Joke”. You could literally have one person singing the lines to “Joke” while another sang “Toast” and they would fit together perfectly as a canon. Both songs are not only the same tempo, but are even in the same key signature (G), and follow the exact same chord progression of G/Bmin/Amin/D. “Toast” does eventually modulate up a whole step/key to A, but the song is nearly identical to “Joke” in its chords until that key change happens.
The Bee Gees wrote, recorded and released “Joke” in ‘68, and Tin Tin’s “Toast” was written and recorded in ‘71.
I find it interesting that Maurice Gibb both recorded “Joke” with The Bee Gees, and also produced “Toast and Marmalade” a few years later for Tin Tin.
😉
Such a haunting music. A mysterious type of melody. I liked this song in my teen years. Because it was so European. I like British music.
Hoje já não se faz musica assim (aliás) a muito tempo ! Lembro minha adolescência no interior de São Paulo quanta saudade! Vivendo hoje a quase mil quilômetros , quando ouço cada vez bate mais forte a saudade
Amo demais essa música, me reporta à minha adolescência, quando tudo era maravilhoso e inocente. Totalmente diferente de hoje em dia. Muito obrigada por compartilhar essa pérola. ❤❤❤❤
The only thing I don’t like about this song: It ends.
Alguém em 2020 ouvindo Tim Tim.
Your not alone classic video!!!😊👍
This song sends me back home
Meu Deus que saudades o tempo maravilhoso podemos fechar os olhos e sonhar tudo de novo quando ouvimos está maravilha
Nostalgically beautiful song.Was a little boy growing up in a remote town in the Namibian desert listening to the sweet sound over the radio ,that stuck with me ever since.
Thank you for bringing back precious memories,
Herman
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, such a lovely story
Bless you.I was a little boy of 8 when this came out and I still remember it very fondly.
The greatest record ever recorded!
Takes me back to the most fantastic times in my life. This song is one of my all time favourites. Luv it.😊😊😊😊
I can’t listen to this without crying, and l’m not entirely sure why.
It takes about thirty seconds from the song starting.
it is a beautiful song from a beautiful time
Suppressed memory? Of a sad event?
lance mckellar No idea!
My childhood was fine, no bad memories that l can recall.
I think it just makes me think of the past, and all the great times l had l guess.
It makes me feel instantly sad deep inside...I have good childhood memories when I was only a young lad of 9 in 1966...my happiness was mixed with other emotions ....this music made me feel the world was a place with a hope fir the future.. the simple words gave me a brief security from a fast changing world of illusions and innocence selfish confusions....a childlike soft cry to desires empty echoing into a better understanding of why we feel the loneliness when lost in the darkness of night
@@robinpickett1292 It does stir emotions. Something resonates...I loved those days, and miss them. Getting old is part of it.
Still listening, 2021 and the pandemic is over in Australia.
I just love this song so much. Reminds me of being young...
Hadn't heard this song in ages but hearing it again at 65 years old brought back such a strong emotional response to pleasant memories of being a young teen. I LOVE 70's music and this was one of my favorite songs of all time.
Nice to hear it again after all these years, 1971, my first year at high school, I remember Toast and Marmalade was one of many great songs on the radio - AM band back then!
Como essa música marcou época. Só que as Rádios raramente tocam. De qualquer forma,vale a pena recordar.nao é!?👍👍👍👍Música que marcou época!.. Saudades, palavra única no Dicionário da língua portuguesa!...aqui no Brasil significa tantas coisas.....O sucesso do passado de presente para você!
Nesta época morava em BH, me recordo da instinta radio Atalaia de BH.
@@zegeraldoferreira3588 Sim!. Atalaia AM 950 KHZ. Sou de BH. Mineira... Guarani....Capital... Inconfidência...Itatiaia...assim.por diante.AM.....
ÉPOCA MÁGICA 1971muita saúdade😢😢😢😢
This song became popular while I was in Vietnam. Never heard while I was there, but when I came home in September 1971, it was still played on the radio, and I've loved it ever since. I have associated it ever since with leaving the Nam. At least that's how I remember it 52 years later.
Tenho 57 anos bem vividos e muito feliz, essa música me retorna aos 70 eu era apenas um garoto, saudades 😔😔😔
I remember this GREAT one hit wonder from 1971. Sure brings back wonderful memories! Thanks for posting!!
Dave belsten I saw tin tin at the domino club Manchester in the 70s great song
@davebelsten1445,. What a great memory! Thank you so much for sharing this. All the best and may God bless.
@davebelsten1445,. What a great memory! Thank you so much for sharing this. All the best and may God bless.
What a lovely gift to all of us ! Tin Tin thank you so much .
Heard this in 1970 fout of us were driving from The Forest of Dean to Alnwick Northumberland It was played on the car radio regular on the journey 54 years ago to date lovely tune
Halcyon days, gentle, melodic, kind, hopeful. I pray for a swift return and meanwhile, god bless for music like this.
Though it was a hit many years ago (60's) and part of the 1 hit wonders of that period it has a quality that stays with you.
To this day I still sing this song or a portion of the lyrics when the mood strikes me, I guess this was 67' or 68'when it hit the radio stations AM in the states.
At 57 it still brings back memories of good times of my youth...nice Vid & rare to see.
Thank you for up loading.
For those that remember Peace 2 ya.
Recordar quando garoto é tudo de bom....Tin Tin toast.......maravilha.
Bring back many many wonderful memories back my childhood days
Thanks for the memories
This gem can zap me back to the summer of '71 so fast...I hear this and in seconds, I'm 12 years old again, thinking I looked so cool in a gold velour Nehru vest and Beatle boots, with my hair dangerously down past my collar... and so in love with a girl down the street named Rosemary. Lord.... Where do the years go?
+MrDonnyAir I'd love to see that gold velour Nehru vest...lol I remember wearing a crushed velour shirt with a round ring zipper.
Just your mention of your Nehru vest brought me a chuckle and a long ago memory of that fashion trend that was so popular back in the late 1960's/early 70's. Women of a certain age will certainly remember the late 60's teenage actor, Sahid Kahn, who "rocked" his Nehru jackets, while driving all the girls wild.
@@birdsfan57 YES!!!
EVERYBODY loved Rosemary.
I was just turning 13 when this song came out. It was late spring and that year (Whamo) footsies, click clacks and yoyo's were the rage. HOW I wish I could go back there again. We were so blessed to have had our youth in that era. Pure, simple, uncomplicated. Everything was new. Roads were tarred every summer. Block parties. It was such a fun time to be alive.
I hum this every time I break out the jar of Rose's Lime Marmalade and put the kettle on.
Ha! I love it. I have weird song associations certain activities too. Like "theme songs" almost.
I think you should hum it only at times you're not having marmalade and tea, to make those times just as marmaladey as when you are having it!
Bons tempos... Que voltam através dessas maravilhas!
I am 60 it can not get better than this lovely song... me and my Takamine EF 508.... someone and love and lonely tonight?
I saw this group open for the Bee Gees around 1970 to 1971. Thanks, for the memory, billtown2.
Hard to believe I went forty-two years without hearing this before now...better late than never!
don't feel like the lone ranger. I did the same with vandegraff generator, as another example of decades gone by, clueless. never even knew of their existence b4 yesterday and I've often considered myself a music aficionado ;p ah, discovery... for all of it's worthless trivial bs, yt has it's redeeming qualities..
ultrakool
Hi, UK. Several decades ago I had the good fortune of acquiring two tickets to witness a vandegraff generator performance.
Sadly two days prior to the show my trailer home was hit by lightning and destroyed, along with the tickets.
Have a great new year, UK.
gnute9 why so smug?
gnute9 Synchronicity! Saw them play in the dining hall of the Gypsy Hill Teacher Training College Kingston Surrey. Strange times the 1970s. Saw Hawkwind play in Ewell Tech dining hall, and Gryphon in the Kingston Polytechnic dining hall. Cheers
Got your hearing back then ????? ha-ha..Only joking of course......you,ve missed some good 'old'stuff !!
This is the the power of melody.
Just a piece of tune that repeats octave to octave but became itself a big hit.
A true classic from the early '70s.
It`s one of these songs that brightens up your day! Even I prefer Hard Rock and Heavy Metal this song cheers me up, every time I hear it! And that`s for more than 40 years
Still my all time fave song.
