I was in Vail Colorado skiing. One night we had live music and the group hired Bo Diddley. He was left the stage and was playing and singing and walking in the crowd. I told him I loved his music; then he said “dance with me”. There I was dancing with Bo Diddley while he play his guitar and sang. One of my greatest memories!!!
Funny story. I was born in 68. I listened to all my parents albums and singles as a child. In second grade (75?) We had story time where we broke up in groups of five to listen to a audio story. A record player on the table and 5 headphones to listen to the story. I took the audio story off and put this single on and told my friends "you gotta hear this." The look of horror from the other kids as we weren't doing what we were supposed to do. We got busted and I had to confess that it was my record. I have always hoped that we got busted because of my head bobbing or that I cranked the volume up. The teacher give me the record back afterwords. I look back with pride.
im 13 and i love this music. Some of my friends like it too. we are in a rock band and we play stuff like Blue oyster cult, The Doors and Some Bo Diddley. We love it
@@daniyarizmaylov3987 Ha! I completely forgot about this comment, and I am delighted to be brought back in time so to speak. I do still play guitar, but now with a more diverse skill set and better gear haha
Thank you to all who have enjoyed this channel. The creator of this channel/video's, my father had unexpectedly passed in January 2022. I will be keeping his channel active for all to enjoy including myself. My father enjoyed & loved making these videos for all to enjoy. It brought great joy to him to see all that visited and loved his channel, song selection & video's. Music was a passion that he had and loved along with being a DJ since the early 70's. Wish you all the best!! Thank You and hope you all continue to enjoy!
On this day in 1965 {August 18th} Bo Diddley performed "Road Runner" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'... Five years earlier on February 29th, 1960 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it would peak at #75 and spent 6 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #20 on Billboard's R&B Hot Singles chart... One month later on September 25th, 1965 the Gants covered version entered the Top 100, it peaked at #46... R.I.P. Mr. Diddley {1928 - 2008} & Jimmy O'Neil {Shindig's host, 1940 -2013}...
It makes me realize that I have so much more to learn around the guitar. Bo's tone alone crushes most I've heard. And this charted in the 60's. Amazing! He's the real deal.
This kind of music is what was played in the house when I was little. I've always had an appreciation for it and I love learning about the musicians of the time in my Rock Music History course :D
[Verse] I'm a road runner, honey Beep, beep Beep, beep Ah, beep, beep I'm a road runner honey And you can't keep up with me I'm a road runner honey And you can't keep up with me Come on, let's race Baby baby, you will see Here I come Beep, beep Move over, honey, let me by Move over, baby, let this man by I'm going to show you, baby Look out your head Going to put some dirt in your eye Here I go Oh, yeah, how am I doing? Beep, beep Take my hand, baby I'm going toprove to you That I'm a road running man I want to show you something That I'm the fastest in the land Now, let me by Beep, beep Oh, yeah, you said you's fast But it don't look like you going to last Goodbye, I've got to put you down I'll see you someday Baby, somewhere hanging around
Me and some of my friends (youngsters) listen to this old music in the car volume full on. And older people look at us like are they really listening to that.
I played this over the loudspeaker at the NTS one early morning, about 3 AM and got caught. Someone guessed it was me and called my phone while it was playing.
This was the very first song Keith Moon played when he auditioned for The Who in 63 or 64, where he was reported to have trashed the drums that were there for the gig. There is a great and very aggressive version of them doing the song at the Youngs Vic in London in 1971, as the prepped for the recording of Who's Next.
The Grandmaster at his best here; my favorite Diddley tune. Even the b-side, "My Story", is great - tells of Bo's tongue-in-cheek rise to fame. He could do so much with that guitar. "Road Runner" was redone later in the mid-60's by the Gants. RIP Bo.
So this is a story coming from the middle of sweden, but anyways i remeber in the early 90 my father had this big pontiac which we used to go to the motocross tracks with with the bikes, and in his cassette deck was a tape which had a tape with acdc tnt bo diddley roadrunner "tequila" and some other song. and roadrunner was our favorite and the big american car with a sloopy suppension went wonderful with this song
17 years old now, heard it when i was like, 4 at a local car cruise, and i can guarantee you, i am the only one in my school with this song on their ipod. i even have the Microwave Dave version too!
When I was a kid growning up in Rochester, NY, I would pass by a ton of garages filled with maniac teenagers whackin' on drums, twangin' on guitars, and screamin' at mikes trying to get this here song right as a secret weapon for the next neighborhood battle of the bands. Hey, everybody can "Louie, Louie" but how many grownups can you drive nuts with THIS righteous noise?
I can remember buying this record at the local record store in Clarksville, Tenn. Jumped on my Cushman scooter, drove home and played the Bee-Jesus out of it! I think it was Spring of '60. I might still have it. If my sister didn't trade it for Monkees records like she did with so many others.
Well, i am a youngster so to speak. Im born in 1997, i guess thats young.Me and my friend are only ones in our school who listen to music like this. So not all are missing it, but its a sad true that most people dont know about good music as this.
Never heard this one either, Reggie but I always liked Bo Diddley and it's a song you have to move to. I like the colorful effect you added at 1:40 and the cool effects toward the end.
Go listen to Bo Diddley (that's what the song is called ‼️) and You Pretty Thing, and Can't Judge a Book - all great Bo Diddley songs 💯💯💯👍👍 I bought a lot of his records when I was ... er Hmm ... very young 😁😁
Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones would dig this video. The clip of the animated guitarist looks like it came from "American Pop" (by Ralph Bakshi). King tone to a really great little video. Thanks, Reggie!
A lullaby(or bullaby) is a song we remember from cradle to grave...meant to pass on cultural knowledge memetically. Mariposa in spanish is butterfly/moth(mother?) in french moth is myth and moth balls are boula-mythes(b.s. stories;) Also, worth knowing...since Andrew mentioned dinosaur names to me recently... In the Badlands of Alberta(where I grew up), they found a skeleton of creature called Anzu wyliei. A non-avian dinosaur ranging in size(from 'turkey' to 1.5 tonnes). From the family of ancients called oviraptorosaur, recognized for their pronounced CREST. (i see bovine and toro in this word) A land bird-bull-lizard? Even as a child, having only seen the bones of this monster, I knew this dino's feathers would've been red. Like a Phoenix. you can't keep up with Anzu...he's the fastest in the land... Wile E. Coyote knew it...Bo Diddley knew it... "I'm a rooooad runner, Honey...Beep!Beep!🎶

You did the right thing. :)

I saw Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry in Houston Texas in 1972 & 1973🎶🎸

The TONE on that guitar
@WakinTheDeadFan Gretsch, I bet. They had that bottomless twang.
He took that guitar apart and put in a Roadrunner horn to get the Roadrunner sound
marshal valve amp
Bo didley is a genius
It makes me realize that I have so much more to learn around the guitar. Bo's tone alone crushes most I've heard. And this charted in the 60's. Amazing! He's the real deal.
Amen Brother!
It is imposible to remain still while listening to this classic. Thank you so much Mr. Diddley!
I'm 19! And you're right but luckily theres a few souls left who can recognize the good music!
listen again
22 and still rocking the classics 😌
This kind of music is what was played in the house when I was little. I've always had an appreciation for it and I love learning about the musicians of the time in my Rock Music History course :D
Huge fan? No- but I love the swagger of this song. A stone-cold rock classic. RIP, Bo.
One of my favorites
[Verse]
I'm a road runner, honey
Beep, beep
Beep, beep
Ah, beep, beep
I'm a road runner honey
And you can't keep up with me
I'm a road runner honey
And you can't keep up with me
Come on, let's race
Baby baby, you will see
Here I come
Beep, beep
Move over, honey, let me by
Move over, baby, let this man by
I'm going to show you, baby
Look out your head
Going to put some dirt in your eye
Here I go
Oh, yeah, how am I doing?
Beep, beep
Take my hand, baby
I'm going toprove to you
That I'm a road running man
I want to show you something
That I'm the fastest in the land
Now, let me by
Beep, beep
Oh, yeah, you said you's fast
But it don't look like you going to last
Goodbye, I've got to put you down
I'll see you someday
Baby, somewhere hanging around
Best rock n roll track EVER, hands down.
His genius lies in the simplification.
Brilliant he was fantastic.
Thank you for the série 11.22.63 that's brings me here ❤️ what a good vibe
Totaly I wished more kids of my generation listened to good music, wooho suprise Im 13 years old and I listen to classic bands :3
Me and some of my friends (youngsters) listen to this old music in the car volume full on. And older people look at us like are they really listening to that.
I was introduced to Bo Diddley by my Grade 4 teacher, whilst also learning about copper, enamel and kilns.
Ergo, one of my favourite people.
Love this song!!!
everybody had a good week?!
The one thing I know about in this world is airlines. And Cuchon Airlines is the future of airlines!
INTO THE FUCKIN STRATOSPHEREEEDEEEEERHEJE!!!!!
You wanna know what happened? A fucking tsunami
End of the month. 28.5 million in gross commissions.....all from pink sheet boys !!!
Beep beep!
Bought it new at 14, still got it
it sounds like Bo Diddley is having fun in all of his songs. I would have liked to hang out with him.
one of the best songs ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 24 years old and this song rules!
I played this over the loudspeaker at the NTS one early morning, about 3 AM and got caught. Someone guessed it was me and called my phone while it was playing.
Immediate smile at the first few notes!
This song has made my day.
I'm 1 month old and I listen to this kind of music
I'm not even born yet
I met him and got his autograph in the 1970s in Corpus Christi.
Haven't heard this in ages! My Dad had this on 45 or LP not sure but loved it as a kid!
This was my introduction to rock and roll as a six-year-old.
Me and some of my friends played this at a 60s dance thing at my school, people said we did good
This was the very first song Keith Moon played when he auditioned for The Who in 63 or 64, where he was reported to have trashed the drums that were there for the gig. There is a great and very aggressive version of them doing the song at the Youngs Vic in London in 1971, as the prepped for the recording of Who's Next.
🎸 Was nen geiler Song, unfassbar ! Bo Diddley 👍
#4 on my playlist: 1 [you better change your way, you strut your stuff] [1930 - 1959]
The Grandmaster at his best here; my favorite Diddley tune. Even the b-side, "My Story", is great - tells of Bo's tongue-in-cheek rise to fame. He could do so much with that guitar. "Road Runner" was redone later in the mid-60's by the Gants. RIP Bo.
I'm young, I'm come from Poland, I listen to this music and, a lot of my friends too. So I dont agree.
So this is a story coming from the middle of sweden, but anyways i remeber in the early 90 my father had this big pontiac which we used to go to the motocross tracks with with the bikes, and in his cassette deck was a tape which had a tape with acdc tnt bo diddley roadrunner "tequila" and some other song. and roadrunner was our favorite and the big american car with a sloopy suppension went wonderful with this song
Bo was the man. I had the honor of meeting and hanging out with him 2x in the 1980's at first Avenue in mpls mn.
my father told me about him and some other good music artists so now im a 13 year old that listens to real music
17 years old now, heard it when i was like, 4 at a local car cruise, and i can guarantee you, i am the only one in my school with this song on their ipod. i even have the Microwave Dave version too!

My first record I bought with my own money was More, More, More Andrea True Connection.
It's got this beat on sexy, but not as timeless
11.22.63
+Kata Rajos Also Wolf of the Wall Street (love 'em both)
wait what does JFK's death have to do w this (just curious)
this song plays in the serie 11.22..63 with james franco
@kata Rajos exactly where I heard this song...awesome show!
My birthday is 11-22-1998 😄
Heard this on KEXP this morning and fell in love immediately. Thanks for uploading, man. :-D
Suuuuuuperrrb❤
I love this kind of music.
Love beat and video!
Never played this on the white owned radio stations. We had to put up with Pat Boone and Bobby Vee.
A big hit was in Finland in the 70´ The hurriganes cover
Beautiful
This song hits good 😆
this has to be one of the coolest songs of all time. many groups have tried to be this cool but no way joe. BO rocks ese!
Its them in the back ground going aaaaahhaaaa for me.
this song should have used in the ads for the car...
"..if you think Rock& Roll was invented by Elvis Presley,you dont know Diddley!.."
aaron4wilkins I see What you did there
Or little richard
Nobody thinks Elvis invented rock n roll. But his first record came out in '54. Bo's first came out in '55.
fats domino's debut single THE FAT MAN came out in 1949,,, rocket 88 in 1951,,,

Play it on your car stereo. Partickly if you got a large V8 under the hood.
Never heard this one either, Reggie but I always liked Bo Diddley and it's a song you have to move to. I like the colorful effect you added at 1:40 and the cool effects toward the end.
Great video - thank you!
Cool music!
The version on "Bo Diddley's Beach Party" is a masterpiece. If you haven't done it yet, listen to this album. It's proto-punk at it's finest
ROCK AND ROLL NEVER DIE
LOVE IT!!
Heard this in bronco billy , a steak restaurant in japan 😆✨🙏
True Hard-Rock Guitar Riffs !!!
bo diddley from 53' till infinity
Classic Rock & Roll Guitar Riff!
meep meep
No I know why David Bowie used that in his song "Fashion" 30 years later.
Oh yes! Great response! Wish I'd thought of that!
Saw him in the UK, in the sixties, rocking Dudies
great song
santo leon Written & performed by: Ellas Otha Bates AKA Ellas McDaniel better known by his stage name:
BO DIDDLEY!!!
pure class !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!
im 24 and i listen to Bo.
If Elvis Presley was the King of Rock-N-Roll, then Bo Diddley was the Pope.
This good music to get hammerd to
i'm still balling like i'm bo diddley!!!
"The Help" brought me here!
The version in the red bull advert is the 1963 cover by johnny winter. Its been driving me mad but I eventually found it.
This is a cool video + a GREAT song!
Damn a 11 year old comment....
Go listen to Bo Diddley (that's what the song is called ‼️) and You Pretty Thing, and Can't Judge a Book - all great Bo Diddley songs 💯💯💯👍👍 I bought a lot of his records when I was ... er Hmm ... very young 😁😁
bad ass guitar tone!
That guitar playing animation is from the anime called Suzumiya Haruhi!!!!
Good one.
Top song to pump me up to make deals
Some of his 50´s chop-rhythm guitar patterns make him an early avatar of funk.
Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones would dig this video. The clip of the animated guitarist looks like it came from "American Pop" (by Ralph Bakshi). King tone to a really great little video. Thanks, Reggie!
Love it!
Yes indeed
The Pretty Things! Ain't no one like Bo.
A lullaby(or bullaby) is a song we remember from cradle to grave...meant to pass on cultural knowledge memetically.
Mariposa in spanish is butterfly/moth(mother?) in french moth is myth and moth balls are boula-mythes(b.s. stories;)
Also, worth knowing...since Andrew mentioned dinosaur names to me recently...
In the Badlands of Alberta(where I grew up), they found a skeleton of creature called
Anzu wyliei.
A non-avian dinosaur ranging in size(from 'turkey' to 1.5 tonnes). From the family of ancients called oviraptorosaur, recognized for their pronounced CREST. (i see bovine and toro in this word)
A land bird-bull-lizard?
Even as a child, having only seen the bones of this monster, I knew this dino's feathers would've been red.
Like a Phoenix.
you can't keep up with Anzu...he's the fastest in the land...
Wile E. Coyote knew it...Bo Diddley knew it...
