An absolute gem of a video. Young's disdain for the project, the fun he has through that disdain, wonderful. He looks like an axe murderer throughout lol.
He did this to sabotage his relationship with his record company, but Neil is such a genius, this wound up being one of my absolute favorite records of his!
I have always loved this song too. It was the same year Billy Joel came out with An Innocent Man, which is essentially a Doo Wop album. It must have been in the air at the time 😂
@@ackamack101 It was 50s and 60s nostalgia. The people who had been kids back then were (by the 80s) adults or getting close to middle age, so there was some desire to reach back to the music that had been part of their childhoods. Plenty of 80s nostalgia now.
I was 13 when this came on MTV. My friend Dave and I saw this and were blown away by how funny and catchy the song was. We didn't know who this "old" guy was but we knew cool when we saw it. We used to laugh whenever it came on. Back in those days you used to have to watch MTV 24/7 to see your favorite video.
I remember this on MTV way back when and I always thought it was goofy, and I made fun of it. It popped into my head for some reason, so I looked it up and here I am. Now though, it’s actually great! I love it. Such a catchy tune and unique video. Maybe just nostalgia, but I’m glad that I revisited this song and video.
It IS goofy. But that's why I've always loved it. Very absurdist, tongue planted firmly in-cheek. Some people didn't get the joke. I did. Recorded it with a cassette off the TV, that's so much I liked it. And nearly 40 years on, I still like it.
I think everyone of our generation laughed at the video and made fun of it back in the 80’s. I know my sister and I did. And the other day it popped into my head and I looked it up and I had to send it right away to my sister and we were laughing. Yes it’s much better hearing it today than back then when we made fun of everything!
Every time I watch this video, I look at Neil and think, "Yeah, there's a man who always gets a seat to himself on the bus." *And I want that damn shirt.*
That shirt belonged to Nick Pope apparently, Neil agreed to do the video but wanted to do it wearing his shirt, as explained by Nick himself on the Adam Buxton podcast a while back
An atypical retro tune done nicely by Neil Young. I remember seeing him do this song at a concert in about '82 or '83. The audience booed him big time. They just didn't get it. They wanted to see Neil Young the hippie. Rock concert audiences are too often a bunch of morons who don't understand or appreciate a true iconoclast. They go for the packaged rebellion instead. What is that, like a '57 Cadillac?
+TheCanine2 I remember this video in the early MTV days. As a 12yr old kid, I would have agreed with the people in the audience back then. I really hated this song at the time, but listening to it now, I think it is much better than I gave it credit for. I had no idea who Neil Young was at that time. I just knew he wasn't Van Halen or Motley Crue, so onto the scrap heap he went, as I endeavored into the next 10 years of really bad hair band music. lol
I still remember falling asleep in front of the TV and waking up to this !! This scared the crap out of me because Neil looks so crazy here... and this was about the time The Shining came out and he kinda looks like Jack Nicholson here. Funny now. But this is a great song.
Geffen did sue him over this album and the one before it (Trans), claiming it sounded both uncommercial and "unrepresentative" of the artist. Young then retaliated by filing a $21 million countersuit, insisting he'd been promised creative freedom in the written contract, and Geffen eventually apologized for the interference. This album was supposed to have been a country/western album called _Old Ways,_ which Young did release in 1985; however, in interviews, he referred to the released version of that album as _Old Ways II._
@@mattkyle3511 The record company said they wanted a rock album after Trans, so Neal pondered the beginning of rock music, so he made a rockabilly album. Makes perfect sense to me, and I liked Trans and this album.
This has been rattling around in my brain since the 80s but I couldn't remember who did it. Needless to say I never searched for Neil Young so never found it--but Cadillac was the search word that turned it up. Flash of brilliance in his career as far as I'm concerned.
Rattling my mind since the 80s too! I thought he said, “I’m walking” until today and always looked up “Walk On” to no avail. Neil’s synchopated movements are what attracted it to me on MTV!
I remember I was in elementary school , 4 grade . Singing this Song in the play ground with my boy Rick . My favorite song of all time . Never stop playing this song .
There was absolutely no real good reason I can give for liking this song or this video. 🤔 However since the first time I saw it on MTV back in the day I was hooked. It was just too damn catchy. 😚😚😚
Maintenant il y a 10 thumbs, je pense que le coiffeur a participé et peut-être quelques uns des 97000 signataires de la pétition pour la sortie de TFA en CD ( je ne parle pas de la dernière pétition pour qu'il change son nom... ).
I don’t know what all Neil was taking at this time…but this is fuckin’ great😅. I liked the earlier acoustic version with crazy horse but this video and arrangement is gold. Geffen’s such a dope for trying to sue Neil for being Neil lol
Neil Young: "I can do this in my sleep. I'm making the absolutely worst music video I am capable of, to thumb my nose at my record company, as well as an entire record of rockabilly songs." Us: "We love it!"
This is such a cool little jingle. I remember seeing this on mtv, and getting this chorus stuck in my head, way before I even knew who Neil Young was or anything about him. Now I'm a big fan.
He's great at taking lyrics written and adding his own personal take on them ... Making them reachable and understood in meaning in duality of purpose and also musically fluid. As with Keep on Rocking in the free world as well. Written after I saw George Busch/Bush say in a speech.... I see a thousand points of light!!!! For Who!! This the lyrics were written. Keep on Rockin Neil!!
Neil and Tim Pope are a match made in heaven.... Tim was one the first music video innovators. This video is proof of that, back in 83, this was very visionary...
i was a clueless kid when this video came out - I had no idea he was from CSNY. Thought he was some kind of weirdo perv in the video, but loved the song and was obsessed with the video! 🤩
This song was written in 1970; you can hear the original version here ruclips.net/video/2hE5w-2sz-w/видео.html this was a remake in a '50s doo wop style
The guys in the car look like Miquinhos Amestrados, the group of rockabilly revival from Brazil. Love this video, this music and Neil Young! Thanks for posting!
Ummmm....Harvest Moon was released on Reprise records in 1992. This song was on the "Everybody's Rockin'" album, released on Geffen records in 1983. It was his second Geffen album after the synth-heavy, but still fairly rocking ":Trans" album from early 1983. It may indeed have been a bit of a middle finger to Geffen records, but it had nothing to do with Harvest Moon. Neil was actually sued by Geffen right after this album was released for submitting albums that were “musically uncharacteristic of [his] previous recordings”, which is pretty funny.
Oh wow~ laughing over here~ can't stop... seriously, oh my what a great crazy wild video. Goodness. Thanks to who found this. If ever I need an upper I'll return here. Gotta love it.
possibly my favorite music video ever. not sure if neil was put up to making a video by geffen (well, it was the height of the 80's video craze) or if he just wanted to do it, but the simplicity of this vid is so awesome: drive around LA in a convertible caddi and shoot at random locations and just let neil be neil in front of the camera. like someone else said, he's adorable... and endearing and goofy and hilarious... and perhaps mixed with just a slight shade of jack nicholson? (anyone else see that?) anyway, i just love this video. i really love how many sides/aspects there are to neil and his music... this kind of whimsy is the best. i also had no idea this was a song neil wrote before 1971 until just tonight. so many times i've only heard to the shocking pinks version.
Listen to this podcast interview with the director, he talks about this video specifically open.spotify.com/episode/384WGESgn6k7mxD6dVmEmZ?si=AzXNUnThR3ilr4rOwICMjQ&
@@GallopingGallanteeno Most excellent then, just finished listening. Not only was that a great listen and insight into this video but now I have new podcast to listen to with Adam Buxton and some research to check out more of Tim Pope's work. Thanks man!
The _1985 Rock Yearbook_ rated this the BEST VIDEO of 1983-1984 beating out "Thriller" by Michael Jackson! Hmmm... I like the pastels and the way Neil peers into the camera.... interesting.
The Shocking Pinks thing was a genius move and over almost everyone's heads. I never got why it got put down so much, I loved it when it came out and still do, and it's just extra fun that it pissed people off and baffled others. This video takes the craziness even further. Only Neil could have pulled something like this off. I would have loved to be at the screening of this at Geffen.
In 1982 we didn't have MTV yet. But on HBO there was Video Jukebox where they played about 15 minutes of music videos five or six times a day. And that's where I saw this video for the first time.
If Saul Goodman was in the music biz, and tried to get out of a contract, this is the supplied clip the bosses at the record company would watch in silence in the board room.
I'm a NY fan. I remember being like 10 watching MTV and thinking who is this goof? I thought was Rich Hall and then changed the channel. Totally forgot this until now. I love it.
This album, of 50s throw-back doo-wop rock, came out on August 1, 1983 -- and outraged fans and Geffen. Yet ONE WEEK LATER, Billy Joe's throwback to doo-wop rock, "An Innocent Man," came out and was an epic hit. Hilarious video.
Neil , I've loved you everysince Buffalo Springfield as one of the best Songwriters since L. V. Beethoven, and nice meeting you in S. Diego at a Springfield concert...but every since you pissed on G W Bush , hawhs , I've been pissed at you. Still though when I watch this ' Wonderin' video , I feel so good with laughter I nearly cry! Just like I said , ONE OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS IN HISTORY
thank you for this I remember seeing this On MTV when It was good and this video rocks love the hair kinda like mine most times lol Neil young is Great
You can now hear several recordings Neil made of this song in 1969-1970, with and without Crazy Horse. It's on the "Live At The Fillmore East 1970" release and "Early Days" collection with Crazy Horse, and it's on the 50th anniversary version of "After The Gold Rush". It's typical Neil for him to drop a song for around 14 years then resurrect it like he did here in 1983.
I love all his songs but this is one of my top favorites along with Sample and Hold, Cinnamon Girl, and Cortez the Killer. All different but all Neil Young!
An absolute gem of a video. Young's disdain for the project, the fun he has through that disdain, wonderful. He looks like an axe murderer throughout lol.
He kinda reminds me of Jack on the shining in some weird way.
@@curtis2075Best comment!!
🔪😂
LOL he does... that out fit looks liked he slept in it
This has always been my favourite NY video. Yes, his humour shines through his disdain, and the video, to me, is absolutely hilarious!
He did this to sabotage his relationship with his record company, but Neil is such a genius, this wound up being one of my absolute favorite records of his!
Fact ❤
I don’t care what any music critic said. This song (and video) is a timeless classic!
Absolutely... this is the best
Im still howling lol. I was maybe 11?
@@Lovetarot0812 did this air on Fridays tv show. I seem to remember.
I know Neil was flipping off his label during this time, but I actually love this song and video.

Neil Young was ordered by his record company to make a Rock n Roll record. this is it. 😁
I watched this video on Toronto Rocks in the early 80s. Great memory!

Same happened to me. Its aged well.
The song sounds much better to me now, when I'm almost 50, then it did when I first encountered it on MTV in my late preadolescence.
It IS goofy. But that's why I've always loved it. Very absurdist, tongue planted firmly in-cheek. Some people didn't get the joke. I did. Recorded it with a cassette off the TV, that's so much I liked it. And nearly 40 years on, I still like it.

Hilarious! Neil tried so many different things. Some didn't work out but the humor in this one makes it work.
memories of late summer 83. this was on rotation on mtv ...
Yep, and I loved it!
And Much Music in Canada. ✌️🇨🇦
I love this f*cking song!
Every time I watch this video, I look at Neil and think, "Yeah, there's a man who always gets a seat to himself on the bus." *And I want that damn shirt.*

As he talks to himself.....
lol ! Always gets a seat to himself on the bus. - Good one Dean

Glad you can appreciate it now. The man wrote some fantastic music. This song is SO different from the rest of his music but it has a quirky appeal.
Dont get how this failed. I love this!
One of the greatest videos ever.
I still remember falling asleep in front of the TV and waking up to this !! This scared the crap out of me because Neil looks so crazy here... and this was about the time The Shining came out and he kinda looks like Jack Nicholson here. Funny now. But this is a great song.
When I watch this I am reminded of the winos that used to live down by the railroad tracks when I was a kid.
LOL yeah he does
Psychokiller que'est que c'est
I'm wonderin'... where I can get a shirt like that!
Neil doing whatever it took to sabotage his career. This is probably my fave video of all time.

Haaa. Yeah, the joke was on Geffen...no ones ever gonna tell Neil what to do. If you try, he'll do the opposite just to spite you!
Speaking as a fellow Scorpio, it's far more complex. Neil is at constant war with himself, so he's too busy to care about "a career".
@@mattkyle3511 The record company said they wanted a rock album after Trans, so Neal pondered the beginning of rock music, so he made a rockabilly album. Makes perfect sense to me, and I liked Trans and this album.
How is it "sabotage" when the material (song, album + video) is excellent?
The record company asked him to dress up for this, he looks like a psychotic wino, love it!
Philip Dallmayr He DID dress up. He's wearing a tie!
Philip Dallmayr for Neil Young, this is dressed up!!!
me too!!!!
I've always wondered if Neil was a psychotic wino.
You gotta love it!! This song made me want my 58 F100

The coolest F U to a record company ever! :)

Still play this song at least once a week . Keeps my sanity.
no it doesn't!!
He's a real artist thru n thru...a kook...a ball of goof...I luv that

The fact that a lot of people hate this album is proof that Neil Young has never made a bad album.
Still playing this on my guitar 🎸 will be till I can't no more. One of the best tracks he ever laid down.
so unbelievable good, loved that song, when I head it first, since now, babe
The 3 thumbs down are Geffen, his boyfriend, and Neil's dentist.
love his teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooooo CUTE
Maintenant il y a 10 thumbs, je pense que le coiffeur a participé et peut-être quelques uns des 97000 signataires de la pétition pour la sortie de TFA en CD ( je ne parle pas de la dernière pétition pour qu'il change son nom... ).

He looks like he’s on a three day bender.
This should be added to the National Historical Registry
i fell in love with him after this... i was 8, peed my pants laughing over this video. i NEVER liked his music before, sure got my attention.
Before, like in kindergarten? :-P

I love it! Neil Young rules
Neil young- the original Kramer
i LOVE THIS VIDEO AND THIS SONG
He's great at taking lyrics written and adding his own personal take on them ... Making them reachable and understood in meaning in duality of purpose and also musically fluid.
As with Keep on Rocking in the free world as well.
Written after I saw George Busch/Bush say in a speech....
I see a thousand points of light!!!!
For Who!!
This the lyrics were written.
Keep on Rockin Neil!!
HA! I can NOT believe I've never seen this before now. What a HOOT!
One of my all-time favorite music makers.
Thanks so much for this!
Neil and Tim Pope are a match made in heaven.... Tim was one the first music video innovators. This video is proof of that, back in 83, this was very visionary...
And this concludes one of the biggest raised middle fingers to the record industry, particularly Geffen records! Love it!

I saw this video years ago and never saw it again. LOL! Happy I found it. Got love Neil Young. :-D
This scratched an itch!! I have been trying to find this video for EVER!!
Great video and a very underrated song!
My dad was really into Neil Young so I've heard all of his songs but this is the only one that I really liked. Have I failed?
Classic MTV days! Love it!

I remember when this video came out some music critic said " Neal Young looks like the offspring of two close relatives"
This was released because his record company shed Harvest Moon was to Country and he needed to make rock and roll. This is his middle finger to them.

In 1982 we didn't have MTV yet. But on HBO there was Video Jukebox where they played about 15 minutes of music videos five or six times a day. And that's where I saw this video for the first time.
I used to stay up very late on Saturday night to watch a video show called Night Flight just to see this video. Now I can see it anytime I want.
Been there, done that
I can't say why, but something about the way he hooks his thumb at the house at 1:13 cracks me up.
You’re not alone, and the way he tilts his head in the next part. It’s a masterpiece in it’s own way
If Saul Goodman was in the music biz, and tried to get out of a contract, this is the supplied clip the bosses at the record company would watch in silence in the board room.

I love all his songs but this is one of my top favorites along with Sample and Hold, Cinnamon Girl, and Cortez the Killer.
All different but all Neil Young!
He's Canada's greatest freak. We love him so.
I don't care what anyone says, its a pretty damn good song.
How *great* is this song though, seriously?! The video is brilliant too!
