This song was a HUGE hit worldwide. Made Lynn Anderson a superstar. Wish we could have seen her actually singing it in your reaction video. She was beautiful.
Im 56 yrs old,As a kid my mom would sing this song while she cleaned house,and anywhere else ,sometimes driving, without the radio on,she loved this song,I miss her some so much, I still hear her singing in my ear,love from Virginia
My mom sang this song to me since I was a baby. I'm 54 and she is 85 and sometimes she will still sing a little bit of it to me. I'll always carry that with me❤
AJ summed up the message of the song perfectly. She’s absolutely keeping it real! She’s saying hey - it will be great but I’m not perfect and neither are you - there will be bad times too. The hope is that we get through the good and the bad.
This was my parents favorite song. We use to hear it on our radio everytime coming back from our fishing trip. That song and stopping at the Jack in the box was our thing after the fishing trip. It was released in 1970.
I remember this one, this was a monster hit! On country and Pop stations. It’s a good one to belt out when you’re driving down the highway with the radio turned up…
Lynn Anderson’s life partner was songwriter Mentor Williams, who wrote “Drift Away”. - he recorded one album which includes his infamous hit as well as others like “Feelings”
It was released in 1970. Songs like these are so catchy and good Harper Valley PTA, Paper Roses, Ode To Billy Joe, Downtown for me all kind of share the same space.
Lynn Anderson has many great hits. Never seen anyone react to her beyond Rose Garden. Other songs you should ck out; "Fool me," "Listen to a country song," "Stay there til l get there," "Sing about love," "All the kings horses," "I'm gonna write a song," "Smile for me," & so many more. Lynns mom Liz Anderson was a singer/songwriter. Lynn was on "the Lawrence Welk Show" a lot early on in her career. I didn't watch that show because my family loved watching the Hee Haw show! Miss those days.
Hey Asia and BJ, an old boomer here (born in 1949). I watch your channel a lot and because I see you did this song today, I'm hoping you read the comments because I'm coming at you from WAY OUT from left field on this one as it has NOTHING to do with Rose Garden. You need to check out some real old school rock & roll with the DEEETROIT sound before Motown arrived. I'm talking about Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Try Devil in a Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly, or Sock it to Me Baby, or CC Ryder/Jenny take a Ride. These songs came out in the mid 1960s and they're only about 3 minutes long due radio air play restrictions from back in the day. You'll love this stuff. Mitch is still performing last I heard. Peace and Love.
Hey BJ & Asia so I know the song! Googled for info, from 1970. I was about 6 yrs. old but I remember singing the catch line "I beg your pardon...etc.) while listening to my dad's radio he had set up on the kitchen table. haha . As I mentioned in the past I literally grew up on these vintage hits. A little American girl (of Mexican descent) sitting in the kitchen in Los Angeles, CA tuning the radio while eating my corn flakes or whatever my mom set up for me. Crossover Country hit.
Another Joe South gem, made famous by others... "Joe South (born Joseph Alfred Souter; February 28, 1940 - September 5, 2012) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. Best known for his songwriting, South won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1970 for "Games People Play" and was again nominated for the award in 1972 for "Rose Garden". - Games People Play and Don't it Make You Wana Go Home" are my faves....
I love Lynn's version...her voice is wonderful....but, growing up i always thought this is written for a man. I bought Joe South greatest hits and luv his recording just as much. Talented singer/songwriter that more people need to discover.
@@danielzerbe8567 Listening to the lyrics, I have to agree that it's more suited to a man. Apart from Joe South, several other artistes recorded it before Lynn Anderson, but she got the catchy arrangement that clicked with the public
This came out in the late 60s or early 70s it was kind of popular around the same time that Harper valley pta was on the charts ! Whatever year it came out that's what year it should stay in 😁😜
Great sentiment to put in a song.....find a partner that understands life can be hard and real problems may be coming that require commitment and dedication to a marriage and family. Whether its health, or loss of income or natural disaster. You can't just put your tail between your legs and run.....man up....or woman up. Great song and great message.
Another Joe South Gem..... Games People Play - 1968 Joe South "Woah, the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meanin' what they say now Never sayin' what they mean [Verse 2] While they wile away the hours In their ivory towers 'Til they're covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine Woah [Chorus] La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee Talkin' 'bout you and me And the games people play now [Verse 3] Will we make one another cry Break a heart then we say goodbye Cross our hearts and we hope to die That the other was to blame Woah [Verse 4] But neither one will ever give in So, we gaze at an eight by ten Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been And it's a dirty rotten shame Woah-ah [Chorus] La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da La-da-da, da-da-da, da-dee Talkin' 'bout you and me And the games people play now [Bridge] Oh, yes Oh, alright Oh, yes C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 5] Now, look here People walkin' up to you Singin' glory hallelujah, ha-ha And they try and to sock it to you In the name of the Lord [Verse 6] They're gonna teach you how to meditate Read your horoscope, cheat your fate And furthermore to hell with hate Come on, get on board Woah [Chorus] La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee Talkin' 'bout you and me And the games people play [Verse 7] Now, wait a minute Look around tell me what you see? What's happenin' to you and me? God grant me the serenity To just remember who I am Woah [Verse 8] 'Cause you've given up your sanity For your pride and your vanity Turn you back on humanity Oh, and you don't give a Da, da, da, da, da [Chorus] La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee I'll keep a-talkin' 'bout you and me, brother And the games people play now, now [Outro] La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee Gonna talk 'bout you and me Oh, and the games people play I wonder can you come out and play?

BJ piling it on helps with the compost pile for the roses too So that aspect is beneficial as well.😂
Lord I remember this song! My mama used to play it over & over on Saturday mornings cleaning house
Loved her 🎉❤

this was on the radio when I was a little kid in the 70's , early 70's
Released in 1970.

This was my favorite song by her❤
54 years ago! I remember driving in the car when I was 8 and hearing this.
Lynn was so beautiful.
My dad had an 8 track of her and i wore it out listening to it.
Brings back happy memories, for this country boy, of farmlife in the early 70s.
Dirt roads and corn fields.
AMEN!!
This was a song written by Joe South who also wrote “Hush” which was a big hit for Deep Purple. Great reaction. Thanks.

One of my favs.
Lots of home truths in his songs, that's for sure.

@@appledoreman In the right light...she's kinda pretty.......😜which didn't hurt!
This came out in the late 60s or early 70s it was kind of popular around the same time that Harper valley pta was on the charts ! Whatever year it came out that's what year it should stay in 😁😜
Written by the great Joe South.
It was released in 1970. I have always loved this song
Lol, my mom would say I never promised you a rose garden, when I complained about, something, I had no idea at the time that she was quoting a song
Hey great song Asia and BJ! One of my mom's and sisters favorite country songs!
❤ Thank you!
Great sentiment to put in a song.....find a partner that understands life can be hard and real problems may be coming that require commitment and dedication to a marriage and family.

Games People Play - 1968
Joe South
"Woah, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean
[Verse 2]
While they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Woah
[Chorus]
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
[Verse 3]
Will we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame
Woah
[Verse 4]
But neither one will ever give in
So, we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
Woah-ah
[Chorus]
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
[Bridge]
Oh, yes
Oh, alright
Oh, yes
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 5]
Now, look here
People walkin' up to you
Singin' glory hallelujah, ha-ha
And they try and to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
[Verse 6]
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on, get on board
Woah
[Chorus]
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
[Verse 7]
Now, wait a minute
Look around tell me what you see?
What's happenin' to you and me?
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am
Woah
[Verse 8]
'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn you back on humanity
Oh, and you don't give a
Da, da, da, da, da
[Chorus]
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
I'll keep a-talkin' 'bout you and me, brother
And the games people play now, now
[Outro]
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Gonna talk 'bout you and me
Oh, and the games people play
I wonder can you come out and play?
Early in the mornin', woah yes
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now"
I have this original vinyl 💃
Lynn was very talented and I think a little underrated.😊
You should listen to Kon Kan singing 'I Beg Your Pardon' from 1988.
They sampled this
😊
