His grandma is in the kitchen of that house making sandwiches for her grandson's friends 'cause they are working so hard. And some lemonade!
But (as was usual for southern grandmas of the era), they wont be allowed into the house and will have to eat in the yard to keep her floors clean. If any try to break the rule, the screen door will be promptly locked. They can only come in if a big storm comes up or someone is seriously injured falling out of one of the trees. The story of my southern youth.
I was a teenager in the 70's and yes that was the Best era of music.....Ever!
said every teenager about the music they listened to their teenage years! :)
@@whalestomp Exactly! There was plenty of shitty music in the 70s.. but of course, there were plenty of classics as well
@@whalestomp nah most rap sucks, 70's, 80's, 90's were the best
Same with me Kelly...we definitely had THE BEST MUSIC FOR SURE!!!
The lead singer, Bill Bartlett, built his own guitars, really great guy he is
he isn't the lead singer.
I know, it's myke....I meant in this song, Bill Bartlett is the singer
@@brianglade848 this made me happy. Ya know what you're talking about and some internet asshole pretend know it all tries to be a dick and you acknowledge what he said without calling him a cunt. Good on ya you're a better man than I.
@@BRO_v1 thank you kind sir
He is skilled at making guitars then.
Bill Bartlett is one of the most underated guitarists in Rock and roll history!!!
Damn straight!
Yeah, “lemonade” that’s what they enjoyed in those days...
Alex needs to watch up in smoke, to get the 70's lol
And acid...don't forget the acid. Oh yeah, and don't forget the acid...lol...pretty colours.
@@briankoops5171 LOL! 😂
Texas Big Spit hahahhahhahha
Powdered white lemonade lol
This is a shorter version, to bad he didnt hear the solo
It sounds just like the radio version I have alway heard. Maybe they did a longer album version, but that is the only song I know of from this band.
Definitely missing out, the long version is so much better
The longer version is much better. The music video just missing the solo guitar
Longer version!!! Its boss,man!
I was about to say , ive never ever heard the song that short , he missed like an entire solo.
This song is still on my play list. It cracks me up watching you youngsters dig the stuff I have been jamming on for 40 years.
Hun, let me tell you, the 70's was the best time, musically, to be young. It's great to see a new generation appreciate the music I grew up with.
Black Betty is the one-hit-wonders of all one-hit.wonders. Insanely good song and the way they performed it is insane, regarding the fact that they did not do anything as good as this neither before nor after. A classic rock song in all regards.
The band broke up when Myke went to prison for selling drugs.
Remember the movie Blow? Myke knew most of the people that this movie was about.
that was a great decade & I was lucky to be in my 20's throughout. We smoked a lotta dope, drank way too much, wore our hair long, with hip hungers & bellbottoms & hung out in communes & were treated to the best damn rock music by so many iconic bands...& I remember this song.
It was an incredible time, actually they stayed outside with some beers and some good weed! This is how we partied in the seventies, everybody parked in the yard and whoever played instruments brought them, when a group was formed somebody would start singing! The rest is history!
I know this song for over 25 years, tried to play it on drums, but never seen the music video so far. It's f***ing awesome like the song itself!
Just some down to earth guys, in their backyard, in their everyday casual clothes, no special effects, no auto tune, just jamming out & loving music....Loving your reactions, all the way from Canada !!! 😃
This song is one I literally grew up with, I love this song.
Whenever we had a big get together with my Dad's side of the family, we often played this song, got into a massive circle and just rocked the hell out. Even my aunts, who weren't so much metal heads in comparison to my uncles, every one of us just headbanged along to this and sang it louder than anyone. Such good memories! Now everyone's older and we don't do it so often anymore.
The more reactions I see the more I appreciate being GenX lol. We really had great music.
“And then they went inside and had lemonade” 🤣🤣🤣
It was the 70s, more likely they went inside, hit the bong and did some blow! 😁😁😁
That's if they could find the inside after hitting it before filming.
Now I’m gona have this song stuck in my head for the next 758 days! 🤣
The original version of the song was performed by a blues singer named Leadbelly.
The original version is a British military marching song. Black Betty was an infantry gun. Black Betty had a child, Brown Bess was the replacement gun. The child gone wild, Brown Bess was known to be very inaccurate. Oftentimes, the rear firing lines ended up hitting fellow soldiers in the front firing lines.
Leadbelly's version of the song was inspired by a prison blues song that he learned while in prison for a murder that he did not commit (Leadbelly was released on appeal). After his release from prison, he recorded "Black Betty" in 1939. Ram Jam added two new verses to the song, but Leadbelly got the writing credit for the recording.
Indeed, the band credits Leadbelly, meaning that regardless of the songs origin, this is a cover of a Leadbelly song.
I was raised in a small town in Alabama. It was nothing unusual for a group to gather at someone's house on a Saturday to play music and sing.
Sometimes we would still be sitting on the back porch listening to the radio and drinking coffee as the sun came up.
Fabulous memories.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's in Seattle and must have gone to a million of these first level gigs! Word always got around & off to the country or surrounding tank towns we'd go. Always held in someone's yard, field or barn. A donation towards a keg and the band and then party hearty. Afterwards always jam sessions so bring your instrument. Often crashed for the night. Heard so much terrific music and such great memories. So many singer/songwriters, everyone played at least one instrument! What a blast!
If you've never laughed harder than that, you have never laughed at all before.
Oghren clickbait 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤫
@@AlexHefner it worked
I took it as a double entendre.
Killer song from way back. 👏
You nailed it in your commentary about the times back then. 👍
Such a dope musical song with crazy riffs and drums. The name 'Black Betty' has different meanings, that differs from place to place. But originates from the prison song and 'bam-a-lam' was what the prisoners called whiplash from guards. But again, it has different meanings.
They didn’t go inside for lemonade, they went in for a cold Coors or shine
Wow, what a unique insight into the Black Betty being the rifle and her child being the musket ball. In my 53 years, a good chunk of which i have known this song, I had never put that meaning into it. I have no idea if this is the meaning of the song, but its just a new thing to ponder. Thank you - HB
I love that the band looks like they're enjoying them selves, they're having so much fun.
I love the way you noticing he's smiling 1st one ! He's smiling because he knows song is crazy but he loves it. I was 15 when this came out I still love it!!!
Born in 67 this is how I remember what my parents, aunt's uncles etc and baby sitters looked like. Between my mom and baby sitters that's where the love of music comes from.
WHEN This SONG Came out IN 1974 I was 10 yrs OLD,. I LIKED THE SONG,
Went to a lot of these parties in the 70s. Don't remember much after the sun went down.😁
The 70's and 80's were the greatest time to be alive. No Karens to tell you "No".
This was my house in the late 70s. Great times. Dirt bikes, old army camo, bad Mexican weed, and rock and roll.
Anyone who played NFSU2 heard this song at least once. I know that the game version was a cover, but still
Nfs was a treasure trove of discovery lol. Black betty, rob zombie, static x. Just to name a few xD
That's why I bought a Mazda RX 8
Ram jam´s one of the best of Rock & roll bands!!! I salute from Chile!
I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 60's and 70's. We had the best bands and musicians.....just pure raw talent..
No way you haven’t heard black Betty, I’m like 15 now and if my dad didn’t show me any of the music from his era I don’t know how I’d live with myself, 70s and 80s music is the best
What your favourite college professor gets up to at the weekend. Immortality in two minutes twenty four seconds.
I will never get over how Bill Bartlett (the lead singer/guitarist) looks exactly like my uncle, he even wore the exact same style of glasses as Bill in this video, right down to the color and darkness of the tint. The resemblance is so spot on that I had to look up more information about Bill to make sure that Bill Bartlett wasn't just my uncle's stage name.
I used to work with a black woman named Betty. We would start singing thus when she showed up for her shift. She loved it and would start dancing
I read in one of the comments that this was in the front yard. To this day, when this song comes on I crank it. It is the jam.
I randomly throw this cut in my sets and it never fails to get shit started.
No one:
Micheal hall: tHiS wAs AcTuAlY rElEaSeD iN 1939
ikr wtf
Tarnawski Cyril got for real he said that on like every comment
😂😂😂
You forgot the :-) 😅
This song has been around since at least 1919! Lead Belly was probably the 1st one to bring it more into the mainstream.
thank you SOO much for recognizing the beauty of that Gibson guitar
The one guy in the video that all he does is jump and clap...and that house is so tiny it looks like a freaking cottage in the middle of nowhere 🧐🎶💟🤣
The best comment I've seen on this music video is pointed at the lead singer saying, "if Mountain Dew was a person."
Friggen gold
😂😂😂
Back in the 70' we would have jams in the woods like this on the weekend.
Take it from somebody who was a teen in the 70's . It was an AWESOME time to be alive! 😁👍
The whole music video is pure crackhead energy and we love that
It’s pretty cool how this is simultaneously hilarious and also kicks so much ass.
I forget how old I am when I'm listening to a kid talk about the 70s. I was born in the 70s, but I always listened to older stuff and new stuff. But I bet I was legally drinking beer when you were conceived and born! Enjoy your youth.... and listen to the older rock n roll AND metal!!!
Bill Bartlett said that the last two verses are about Bettie Page, a poster gal from the 50s. The first verse, attributed to Leadbelly - Bartlett said he has no clue about what Leadbelly's version was referring to. Maybe muskets. Most likely not, from what I have gathered, although I am still not strongly convinced either way. Appreciated your energy and perspective. I remember being a kid around this sort of party, and people with hair and clothes like that. Especially in '76. It was our country's birthday, Saigon just fell, the hippies were fired up and had their subculture, heavy metal was being born and the worst STD out there was just the syph. Times were a-hoppin'! 8-)
Lemonade on the front porch, Stag beer on the back porch, and the Hippies use the Side door😜 😉...lol
Love your reaction. I was a kid listening to a radio in 1977 in DC, song knocked my socks off- then I went to see Star Wars in the theater....
Not bad for a 50-year-old version of a 100-year-old song very good. I've heard people say this song hits so hard you need a safe word!
Being a teenager in the 70s was indeed cool -- especially seeing bands like Led Zep, The Who, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Allman Brothers, et al, LIVE before they began croakin off.
I recalled back in the 70's this was often played on White radio stations and but never on Black radio stations. I can imagine why. However, after all these years, I enjoy listening to it again.
Guy in black back there is dancing his funky little heart out
Grew up in the 70's. Best times.
This song always has shades of Deep Purple to me... loved this era!
This song is bad ass and the video is so much fun to watch.
Your reactions are so fun to watch Alex! I love this song and was really stoked when I saw that you made a reaction video out of it! The part that I laughed so hard was when you said you could imagine them going in for "lemonade." 😄 Yeah. I don't think lemonade was even invented until after the 70's! 😉😄
I used to hang out with some of the band. They're from Long Island, NY. The bass player Howie was in Billy Joel's first band, The Hassles.
20 in the 70's, I was there, it was yuge.
That drum break though!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction, Hef. This is classic. My son, who loves Metallica, loves this as well. Cheers
A reggae band we used to haunt back in the early 80's closed their show with a rastafied version of this tune featuring solos by all the musicians. One time they wailed for 15 minutes and the entire bar was on their feet dancing.
The guitar player and singer is Bill Bartlett from The Lemon Pipers back in the 70"s. When I first learned that I went WT....
That's the sad thing about this generation, they rarely have to listen or watch things outside their bubble.
Totally agree that's why I'm a proud product raised by grandparents I'm 25 and I have a whole freaking playlist of classics check it out
I think that attitude is changing. Most of the reaction things that I've seen are around 25yo
Ok Boomer lol
@@legendarysayian9239 Boomer? I`m GenX, damn we really are the forgotten generation.
@@PGLAMB1978 r/whoosh
70'S WERE THE BEST. I WISH I REMEBERED MORE OF IT
I'm the biggest traditional country music fan in existence, and I've heard of this song and band.
WELCOME TO SOUTHERN ROCK!!💜🤟🎵🎼🎶😉 This country needs outdoor jam sessions again!!! Truly LOVED your reaction!! Here to stay!!😉😉
I was 20 when this came out. The 70s were a blast.
Maybe it took a long time for You to literally listen to this song, but now You finally did it! And You totally felt the vibe, that comes with it! 😁 It's absolutely classic!!
To everyone who said, 'never heared this song is impossible' - if you know this song that well, have you also known, what it was about??
Yeah, that's what I thought, so thanks to Alex for reacting to this one and making us realize the meaning of it!! Well done, Alex!!
wow nostalgia. every single one of my hockey games as a kid lol
That's some of the best guitar work you''ve ever heard...........and one of the tightest bands I've ever heard...
I couldn't cope with more than 15 seconds of this guy
I'm 66 and Dude you would have fit into the 70s. You have the look and attitude!
Excelente, saludos desde Costa Rica, pura vida !!!
Post Vietnam music is so iconic. The American way of life, the economy and politics were going through a major historic shift. The music of that time spoke to both sides of a nation that was so divided.
Classic rock music is where its at. Acdc queen van halen tom petty aerosmith etc. All of their music and more are just awesome and never get tired. They need to be played more
I listen to 80s and 70s rock and other alternative music growing up great throwback
Everyone has heard this song atleast once in their life. It’s such a classic.
When I was 10 yrs old I sang this in a restaurant bathroom as I washed my hands, totally unaware everyone in the dining room could hear me. Embarrassed the hell outta my parents. Lol Btw, there's a cool remake of this song that came out a few years ago.
How could people hear you in the bathroom?
@@tristramcoffin926, It was a small room in a cafe with dining tables and the restrooms were right there. My guess is if you went in there singing loud and proud as I was you could be heard like you could in your house. 🤷♀️
Yep. Remade by Spiderbait, who did another remake (Ghost Riders in the Sky) for the movie Ghost Rider.
The 70's....... Best decade ever. 😳😝
My era ,born 61 ,so the 70,s 80,s were my era 😁👍🎶🎵
My high school guitar teacher was in RamJam, he’s in the video as the guitarist on the right, the one that doesn’t sing. His name is Jim Santoro. Really nice guy, had him for two years for two different guitar classes.
The oldest version of this song is by a group of inmates from Huntsville Texas correction facility. So this is just a cover of a very old song. One of many good covers by the way. As for its meaning, it is not exactly known ( from my readings) what the song is about. There are several interpretations of what the song means. Never the less it is still a good blues song.
That song is iconic . . .glad you reviewed it!!!
love their enthusiasm
I love the lead singer's eyebrow work on the saucy lines...like "Yeah, I just said that."
I was 20 when this tune came out!!!
Good times!!!
From that Era and man was it a blast...
Yes brother I grew up in that era and it was a banging Time to be alive some of the best music ever produced between the 60s 70s and into the 80s you would’ve loved it man!!
Oh my god, I have been hearing this song in my early teenager's year and this is the first time I see the video, didn't even know the band's name. Thanks!
I listened to this for ever...
But never saw the music video!! 🤣🤣
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!
part of my childhood 💖
The best classic Riffs... Of all time
This was every backyard party in Sayreville NJ only there was no lemonade, just kegs of beer and loose joints you bought for $1 each. We younger teens would watch guys like this until we got a little older and all started our own bands. Good times 😂
I lived in that time it was crazy good to live in the 70's
