I just saw them sing this in Las Vegas. They are currently part of the 'Happy Together' tour with The Turtles. Check it out if it comes to your area. ✌️
40 years working construction I can relate to this so much. When I left the jobsite no matter how hard I worked went home to my wife and children. Everything was so much better when I saw their smiles and felt their hugs.
Package and warehouse work for me for over 16 years. Before that I worked in the restaurant industry. Hard work both times. While in college I worked on campus, did temp jobs and was in the Marine Corps Reserve. I can definitely relate to this song.
I heard it for the 1st time in the late 70's on the car radio over a decade after it hit the charts & loved every second of it! It was easy to figure out the title & I bought it ASAP as well!
A 'Rust Belt' classic before we even knew we were living in the Rust Belt (Great Lake States). I was probably around 7 or 8 when this came out and I loved it then and always have, the tone , the beat, the rhythm, the vocals, it just audibly painted a steel gray smoky sky and the emotions that go with that.
I was 10-years-old when I heard this song on the radio back in 1965. I can still remember it so well like it was yesterday. Today's music cannot hold a candle to a song like this.
Just three years later, 1968, I was a teenage combat soldier in the Vietnam War. For some reason that war locked my mind into music from those years. ... A great video and a great song. Thank you.
Thank you, I appreciate those that care about soldiers that were in combat. For some reason it took 2 months for your message to get to me, I have no clue why.
It could be my imagination, but it seemed to be more about talent and music quality then, than the focus on image & appearance which seemed to start with a trickle in the 1970s.
@@joefaller4525 I see what you're getting at, but one could make the argument that celebrities have always been concerned with their image, including but not limited to changing their names to make them sound less "ethnic," putting out that idea that everyone was happily married or at the very least heterosexual (going so far as to set up beards and sham marriages), that they were not only Anglo-Saxon protestants but also regular churchgoers, teetotalers, middle-class, average Joes, etc.; publicists and public relations people have been around for some time now. What they were trying to hide or emphasize has changed somewhat, although not altogether, and perhaps it is that starting in the 1970s they just began being less inconspicuous about it.
Just saw the current lineup of this group a few days ago performing in the Happy Together tour with the Association, The Cowsills, Gary Puckett and the Turtles. Maybe not all the original guys but a great concert. I've had this song in my head for days now!
OK for workin sriffs in the 60's quittin time was like 4. Therefore he must have raced home had a shower and met her at 5. Quittin AT 5 was what white collar folks did. I am glad I got this off my chest after 50 years of listening to this gem. The Vogues were SO underrated. Great Vid, thanks!
I met these guys back in the 70's/80's. My boyfriend, at the time, was their equipment manager. Really nice, down to earth bunch of guys. Love their music.
Listening to this on my transistor on 77 WABC ,While opening up packs of 1965 Topps Baseball cards in the school yard , 4th Grade Brooklyn NY ... Innocent days .
I loved those pennant flag cards, I had a great card collection and all those stars had the best poses with bats The Mantle and Maris, Mays Aaron Rose and Matthews the Yaz card was cool too with him looking up ready to catch a ball-great stuff
Remember hearing this in late 1965 on Philly's Famous 56 WFIL ,@ 8yrs. young in 3rd grade! My 3rd grade friends bro. Was drafted in late spring of 65 , and sent to SouthVietnam by9/1965 with the USAs Big Red One ID down near the Mekong Delta. Was wounded, came back changed!
My God. I REMEMBER seeing this video on television. In 1965, I was just 11 years old. I really liked their sound. When I shared the lyrics of the song with my dad, "They're gonna raise the time for the pay I get," he said, "They better get a better union."
Each Time I Listen To This Song, It Takes Me Back To My Childhood When I Lived In Flushing, NY. My Father Went To Work Each Morning At Kennedy Airport, And We Were Happy When He Came Home To Play With Us! ❤️
Now...how much variety of amazing sound is going on in this one song?...yes, an incredible variety and all arranged with such an artful ear and exquisite timing! I would dare any modern pop artist or group to put this much sound into a single song and make it as perfectly tight and unique as this!
While visiting my best friend..( in 1966 )we entered his older sister's room. Well, we found this box. We opened the box and inside were 45' records she had ordered. well, I asked my pal if I could borrow one. My pal said ok. Well, one 45 caught my eye. The title by the Vogues caught my interest. Well, to make this story short...I learned to play it on guitar and my pal and played it til we knew it by heart. Thanks americanmanhood for sharing this ageless gem of a song.
Dude this would still be fun to ride down the street and listen to in my 1980 Camaro! My older brother and I were raised in the 70s but our parents listen to this in the 60s we loved it!
the vogues were nothing short of fantastic....when my cousin left for college in the fall of 66 he gave me permission to play his 45,s when i visited and i would always play this song as well as the Beatles,Stones,Kinks,Zombies it didnt matter it was all effin good.we would crank up the volume and dance our ass off!!! we moved to DC in early 67 but when i came in the summer there was a card with my name on it along with the Sgt Peppers album...best cousin ever!
Had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Blasko about 20 years ago when they were only playing Western Pa. he was a true gentleman signing autographs and having pics taken with him. Also got to see them on The Gateway Clipper for a Valentine's Day dinner. Super cool dudes.
Back when this song came out I was a flat busted kid working construction welding steel up in the sky from 7 am until 5 pm. I think I was making about $2/ hr. I'd leave the job site a 5 and the local radio station played this song just about everyday at that time. I'd head to the ballpark and earn another $20/game catching for a semi-pro team. I couldn't get tired and lived life wide open because with the war looming in the near future, who knew how much future there would be. I had a long- haired girl waiting for me and we've been married 53 years now. Survived a lot since then. Raised our kids and now have six grandkids. I still haven't retired and I work everyday. I do get tired though!
Wow, you sure told quite a story in the few sentences you shared. I do hope you're able to retire and enjoy the fruits of your labor when you choose to!
Great timeless song. Probably was 6 or 7 years old when it came out. Those heavily reverbed "heys" background vocals really sound cool. It's a perfectly written perfectly arranged song.
Despite being 40 years younger than this kind of music, I still like it better than the music that plays on the radio in today’s world. This music has a soul and actually took effort to produce. Nowadays music is just the same beat assembled by a robot, and lyrics that sound like a 5 year old wrote them.
I agree that music from this era is amazing, but I would disagree that all music today is robotic and juvenile, as you suggest. There is still amazing music being made, much of it by independent and alternative bands. It's out there, it just may take some time and patience to find it.
@@americanmanhood I have not listened to top 40 radio since the 90's. I'm aware of todays artist though. My example would be the band WILLIS. I heard a song years ago in an F.Y.E. store and asked who they were and it was a song by them. I then came on this platform and discovered them. I was surprised at the amount of views videos of their music had. I don't think they are mainstream but people must have discovered them. So yes there are ways of finding wonderful music a person might enjoy since it's all personal anyway. One just has to look, listen and find what they like and forget about what everyone else is listening to. When it comes to music it's You that matters and not everyone else and what is popular.
"Tradin' my time for the pay I get
And livin' on money I ain't made yet"
Too true today
The only bad thing about this song is it's too short.
I just sing it more often to compensate for the brevity. Taught me how to Yodel.
@@robertfish4052 I always wished I could whistle or yodel. I envy you! :)
1966 - what a tremendous year for rock & roll.
This group (and song!!!) clearly shows the Beatles weren't the only Fab 4 in the 60's!
This smashes any modern day track to pieces. Love strings in the background.
Organic, analog, beautiful harmonies and backing production.
This group had it all, a great beat, sound and the Swagart look....R IP
This song is contagious.
Back in High School my girlfriend and I claimed this as “our song”...we’ve been married fifty three years now.
WOW! Just great!
Congratulations!
Wonderful
Right on, man! That's awesome 👌
Past the gold, let’s do the diamonds 💎. Great job👍👍👍👍
My mom went to school with these guys!! She introduced me to all of them when I was still little
I just saw them sing this in Las Vegas. They are currently part of the 'Happy Together' tour with The Turtles. Check it out if it comes to your area. ✌️
Was pretty boy still pretty?
@@hwytravler1962 Pretty Boy has always been pretty. : )
Turtle Creek HS?!
Ok, who's pretty boy?
One of the few redeeming qualities of the Internet since it's inception is actually being able to make 'LIVE' videos of sometimes very old songs.
Great song with a sound that can be described as The Four Seasons meets Petula Clark meets Gene Pitney!
From back in the days when we had something called music.
This song never gets old!
it's a beauty
these young, joyful kids realizing they're great!!!
"Living on money that I ain't made yet..." What a tremendous turn of phrase...
I know its a year old but i was just about to write that lol
So true, worked 33 years and still struggling.
More of us do that than were willing to admit. Credit cards!
Still living it

20 years in concrete I completely agree! Great lyrics that really hit a chord makes this a great song.
That's very lovely. :-)
God bless.

That, my friend, is Heaven on earth.
Such a well-crafted tune; stands up so well today, with guys that can actually SING ! Wonderful !
Not only can they actually sing -- you can understand what they're saying! And it makes sense! And it isn't filthy! Astonishing!
I heard it for the 1st time in the late 70's on the car radio over a decade after it hit the charts & loved every second of it! It was easy to figure out the title & I bought it ASAP as well!

I just heard this for the first time this morning and it’s fire
The background singers are the best ever. Incredible voices.
countin down , Storm watch here in Costa Mesa , California . Music so good for the Heart . I love the time machine
This tune sticks to people.
I can remember exactly where I was hearing this song.Amazing music.
I was 10-years-old when I heard this song on the radio back in 1965. I can still remember it so well like it was yesterday. Today's music cannot hold a candle to a song like this.
I was nine but the great vocals caught my attention and I still love hearing them
I’m 30 now, and just heard it for the first time a few days ago. I’ve had on repeat since.
Stationed in Bremerhaven, West Germany when this came out. Loved it then and now. Someone! Please take me back to 1965. 2020 sucks big time.
I agree l wish we could turn back to 1965 l love the Vogues.never get tired of watching their videos & their voices! They will always stay with me!
Amen.... we had a 63 Bel Air Chevy that I would run the battery down listening to these songs...
Love that song. It reminds me of Sydney R&R Nov 1968. I loved the Aussie girls. They were so good to us, GIs.
I am only 42, but I love this song. People really could sing back then.
They could write songs too.
Yes, true
@@danterry3776 you know Lots of singers do write their songs... still happens
I agree and I'm 20.😂
,1965 Wow,, love it, I am in my 60s, time has been good to me, and I still rock! I hope you all do also!
Definitely one of the great groups from the "60's!!! And proud to say they were from Pa!!!!
Some of the best harmonies I've ever heard...wow!
Oh, yes - absoluetly spectacular.
Just three years later, 1968, I was a teenage combat soldier in the Vietnam War. For some reason that war locked my mind into music from those years. ...
A great video and a great song. Thank you.
Thanks for your service.
Thank you for your service. I joined the Marines in 69. This is our music.
Thank you, I appreciate those that care about soldiers that were in combat.
For some reason it took 2 months for your message to get to me, I have no clue why.
Thanks for your service !
Thanks for your service.... you guys are true heroes
Why this doesn't have 50 million views I have no clue!
Wearing Jungle Green and carrying a rifle when I first heard this loved it then and love it NOW
Thank you for your service, Sir. 😎👏🌿💝👍🏻
I was still in high school but right behind you.
Slainte mhath! From a fellow Celt.
Welcome home!
it's 2021 and this song is still a classic
2023 I still feel the same 😊
Absolutely one of the best recordings 🐾🐕🐶
One of the top songs of the 60’s.
You guys are immortal because of this song ❤
Listen to the acoustic guitar playing at the beginning! Awesome!
This song makes me SO HAPPY!!! 😊
Awesome tune! Far out man!!
Our fam had just moved to Illinois, and listened to this many times on WLS 890.
One of my all time favorite songs.
Darius Sinclair agreed!!
@@SPORTSNUTIM Zackley !
Hugh Geyers brother, Tommy, was one of my teachers at Elizabeth Forward High school. Many great tunes...
Like😍
Mine too
And mine. I'm from 51 and heard the song now and then on the North sea pirate stations. It simply kept in my mind. 😊
Ahhh music of my generation. I am a '67 high school grad.
I absolutely love this song!!!!
Its a real gasser chickie!👍😎🎶
The production and the vocals on this are really top notch.
Nick Cenci was the Producer on this Group.
Indeed...so highly original .
Yes agree 100%

80’s chick here but absolutely nothing beats stuff like this! Just fabulous
This was a great song! Still is today.
Perfect timing and teamwork by all 4 singers made this song a classic

Love this song -- my favorite part is the yodeling ❤
I heard this music much in the sixties, but now at 77 I appreciate them so much more.

Do you have any idea who that brunette is on the cover of their “Memories” album? Might be the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen.
I was 15 when this came out and after more than 50 years sounds just a good now. Great clean sounds.
I was TEN! Still love it.
Just put this one on Loop... I could listen to it all day.
I was in kindergarten when this came out. The melody was burned into my brain. It’s as natural as drinking water for me. Beautiful 🌼
I have a cousin in Illinois named Bruce Stewart!!

These guys had such good harmony and their songs are still relevant today.
I can still remember this song growing up as a kid. God, how I miss those days!
What a fantastic song!
Just loved this song at 13 years old, not knowing what all the future years had in store for me
I’ve never heard this song before. Nice vocals!
still memorable after 55 years. Amazing it only made it to #4 on the charts
Lots of competition in that era...
Love this song!!!

Hopefully you know that's NOT what they are saying here. The phrase is "trading my time for the pay I get. Living on money that I ain't made yet."
Still love this song after all these years...real talent never gets old
It's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows no one owns a piece of my time" - Brings me back to 1995 - thanks for the memories Shemp 🙂
What a great song.
I always have liked this song.
I was born in October 1965. Love this.

Never thought of that at all. Wow! And it fits too!
