I would agree with all y'all!!! Everytime I think I see a young innocent girl these days. They have tattoos everywhere. Tramp stamp above their ass! I can remember back in the 70's we called them SKANKS! As if tattoos were not bad enough, they get piercings everywhere!
Sweet memories of great times. I'm 66 now, but I will take my age and my memories over anything today. Someone once asked me if I would like to be 18 again. I said yes, but only if I can be 18 when I was 18.
I was born in 61 and I was so lucky. Not old enough for Vietnam, a no fluff education, spent the 70's in my teens, rocked out to some of the best rock music ever, dipped my toes into disco hated it at the time but I love it now, saw the rise of punk rock, watched the moon landing live. The gals were dressed better than any other generation and WOW! so hot. Can't forget the mobile love machines. I served in the Navy under Reagan which was the best time for our military. Oh and no F'N political correctness or woke culture!!!
Thank you for you're service! Regan was the First vote I ever cast! My only regret in life was that I didn't serve!!! It haunts me still. However it looks like now just might be my time to step up!!! I won't let this opportunity pass me by!
Just listened to Chevy Van for the millionth time & this time I cried. I'm 81...it was one of my husband's favorite songs ( me too). Today is anniversary of his death and also anniversary of Sammy Johns death. How I'd like to have them both back...
I'm so sorry you are grieving Judy. I hope by now, some months later, you can listen and enjoy the memories and love you and your husband shared. Blessings and peace to you.
Judy, I'm sorry for your loss, even though I don't know you. Maybe your husband and Sammy are rocking out in Heaven waiting for you. Let them wait. Enjoy your time on earth. Bless you.
WRITE back I'LL visited you , I need to have a destination Don't have one off hand to go anywhere. Sorry for your loss or lost my only chi'll and wife now I just live with my dog and me everything paid for
This was my parents love story,I would often hear my dad humming this and if my mum was near she would go and hug him around d waist from behind,they r both gone now but their song lives on! I miss u mum and dad!😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️,I am 62 now and those days were good days!
I read a lot of comments and many posters are pointing out that those were not all Chevy vans, well nowadays, the women aren’t all women. So just enjoy the music and if you’re old enough, like me, enjoy the memories of the 70s and early 80s and when the women were really women.
Natural beauty back then. today it's tattoos, fake nails fake hair color and fake personalities . They are all damaged goods being sold at ridiculous prices. So glad I'm way to old and married to be shopping through the merchandise on the marriage market today.
I was born in the 60s and loved this song in the late 70s when I was a young girl . We had the best music cars and clothes and no cell phones . Life was simple I miss it these kids today don’t have a clue .
I was telling a workmate how cool vans were back then. He proceeded to tell me if you had a van like that now people would suspect you of being a child abducter! Far more innocent times then.
@@sarahcobetto5613 Yes and that's what I meant back then things like someone being evil like that just didn't even enter our minds. We just lived our lives and enjoyed one another.
i had a friend who had a dodge van. it was beautiful in 1977, the girls loved it. damn we were either drunk or high every nite. im 63 i never thought id live this long.. lol
A Chevy time machine is what this vid is to me. Notice the girls, like who doesn't, natural body parts, no irregular piercings, and NO tattoos! Tanned, barefoot, and just lovely. These are the girls of my generation. And I married one of them 39 years ago.👍✌
Graduated in 76. Married now forty one years to the girl I was with my senior year. It was an incredible time to be alive. Best music decade. Best car decade. Best van years. My first van was a 64 Econoline from the phone company auction. No side windows. An eclectic interior of shag carpet velvet and vinyl. A bunch of speakers and a bed. The girls were so fine then no tattoos, or piercings. Sun bleached hair no make up, just a tan. I so want to go back.
Amen, brother. How I long for the days of no tattoos or silicone. Check out the Skynard Freebird video, Oakland 1977. A rich, long and absolutely beautiful video of beautiful 70's girls.
I can relate to this stuff..I had a VW bus all tricked out (well, no heat and no a/c ha ha) with a large bed and fine sound system. I owned it from 1980-1985 and had many times on beaches in FLA and out in AZ. I actually lived it in for over 2 years. I'd love to go back, but don't know of any time machines. Very fine tune this is.
.@Mr marksark. Lucky you. A plain Jane girl. No tatoos, piercings, boob jobs.etc. Just a bikini, tanned body. I wish I had that from way back. Gas was cheap. Cooked on a Hibachi at supper. Met friendly neighbors and made good friends. Not much like that anymore.
I'm getting there...and it fascinates me to hear from older types which I use to look down on, but which I to will soon become...now, nothing but respect.
1975. What a wonderful and hard time in my life. Lots of love and heartbreak that year. Graduated high school and joined the military that year. Went from a kid to man that year.
I'm 73, and have lived the vanning life off and on since 1974. I still have the same 1969 Chevy Van that I bought in '73. I have found myself in almost every kind of "entertainment situation" you could imagine over the years, but nothing beats vanning!
I feel blessed to have grown up in that era! I was 16 in 1976, what a great time! Later in the 70's I did have a 1975 Chevy Beauville van, drove it for several years. Man if that van could talk!
Born in 54 and came of age in the late 60s. Lots of people on thew road, hippies thumbing rides, etc. this song was probably every guys fantasy in the 70s.
At 58, I really loved returning to the 70's 'in my mind' watching this video. I can't stop thinking about how simple things were, when you were able to actually think and enjoy those around you. And the world didn't know every single thing about you or what you were thinking, and you didn't know about them either...AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! Damn the Internet, social media and cell phones. Yes, productive tools, but we have proven how destructive misused tools can be. Lord how I miss simpler times...
Yeah well we're from the same generation and I sure don't feel that way people always waxing nostalgic about the pass, give me the future and the world within reach allows me to dream like I've never dreamt before💥💥⭐
In 1974 I was 15 years old. The custom van craze was in full swing and I was lucky enough to work in a car/van customizing shop. We built so many cool vans out of that shop and at age 16 I got a 74 Dodge Tradesman, metalflake orange, custom interior, Cragers and Thrush sidepipes and was allowed to travel with the van group to my first weekend "Van In" in Louisville, KY. and I listened to this song so many times on the drive, over the 3 days of naked craziness and all the way home. Sammy wrote a great song with this one. Love it to this day.
I think every guy traveling somewhere in a Chevy Van was always looking for that tender young girl without shoes...in every dusty little town they drove thorough....a real song of the 1970's...when all of us were young buck teens...
Early 70s, I had a Chevy van, went to a drive inn theater (Thunderbird Drive Inn). Didn't watch much of the movie. Made love in my Chevy Van. Wonderful memories, miss her very much, TOOTS, if you read this you know who I am. Love you and always will remember you.
64 Econoline abig bed in the back bean bags in the middle. More speakers than sense scattered around. Side doors open down by the lake at night. Smokey nights and hazy dreams. High school sweetheart still around. This song was an anthem to those days in the 70's. At 64 I wake up everyday longing for those simple underappreciated times. I look at the tv , listen to the radio and I can't find a second of any day that even feels remotely like those. So glad I was alive then and maybe heaven has a place where the vans still hangout. Won't be too long now....
A long time ago, in a lifetime long gone, I owned a Chevy van... a '71 or'72, if I recall correctly. Never got so lucky with it as the song describes, but I certainly miss it just the same. Oh, and I was 18 or 19 then... damn near 60 now, and already thinkin' I've lived far too long. ...and yeah, I'm one of those lost children of the '60s and '70s. Life wasn't ideal back then, but it was a helluva lot better than it is these days. ...at least the way I remember it anyway. 😉
@@timothyhuber6035 OMG! It didnt end well man!Her mom came out and ran ran me off in front of the nieghbors!I never did get to ...well you know umm ...play with her anymore? But what time to be alive with a van!Take care.
I’ve lived part of 8 decades we had the best music in the 60s and 70s plus the best cars and some of the hottest women….we had Woodstock and started the van craze. I still listen to the great music of the 60and 70s and still drive a van.
They just don't they just don't have good music like this anymore sounds like it's always takes my mind back to when I was younger I never outgrow listening to songs like this these songs feel my heart with joy thank you very much for the old members
Loved this song the instant I heard it. Went into high school the next day and drew a Chevy van on the chalkboard with the caption "Sammy John's Chevy van." The girl I had a crush on and actually drew it for, Kim B, walked in and saw it. I was too shy to tell her it was for her. Good memories, those 70's!
70's never will go away. Here forever to stay. Never ever gona go away the 70's still here for the future too I'm telling you the beloved 70's is here to stay. If only we could travel back we'd go today and stay. The love and memories of the 70's are here to stay.
Great song! I miss those days! This song brings back many great memories! Just something about this song that makes me replay it over and over, never gets old!
I'm 70 how back in the 80's l had a custom 77 Chevy van to this day l miss the good old days and this song l always play love Chevy van song bring back memories.
I’m 70 years old I was at Woodstock in August of 69 an this kind of music is all I listen too just trying to capture some of my glory days I guess I still take a trips an never leave the farm if you know what I mean, it seems like only yesterday I was in my mid twenties an was going with this 19 year old girl she had some of the best stuff between her legs I can think of her know an I just want to cry oh hell I’m going to roll a big one drink a beer an have some sweet dreams good night y’all ☮️💊🍺
Met Sammy back in 76 or 77. He was living in the Atlanta burbs. Walked into the foyer of his house and saw his gold record on the wall. Only thing I could say was, oh, that Sammy Johns. Seemed like a great guy.
I was a sophomore in high school when this came out and we had all just gotten our drivers licenses. The older brother of one of my best friends had a tricked out Chevy Van with a table that folded into a bed and the obligatory "If this van's a rockin don't come knockin" bumper sticker. That van was notorious. This song was every young man's fantasy when it came out. Were we all hoping the song was going to be about us.
I am right there with you oh, I love this song when I listen to it I am young again if only for a moment. Back when girls wore bell-bottoms and halter tops and guys had long hair and vans. Good memories and good music. Keep the 70s alive. 😎✌
Good times. Did not have a Chevy van just a 69 Camaro with a small backseat...LOL. Girls back in the 70s were fantastic and down to earth. Miss those simple day's.
Amen I was born in 1960 and now own just about every song from 1960 to 1985 on CD me and my wife love listening in the patio and dancing ,neighbors are jealous .
Yeah the music we were sure blessed to live in the era such as the past of music you can never replace it you can always have it and the musicians that came through since let's say the fifties right up until the eighties you can't replace ever same with the movie stars and the actresses can't replace the ones that were famous and they're all gone now at least you can listen to these tunes and remember how fortunate we are that we the older guys that lived in that era was blessed for sure the world of music today it doesn't mean a thing that the music of yesterday means everything
In the 70's women looked good with out makeup and tattoos. They were great!
How I miss the 70's and girls without tattoos all over their bodies.
I need to read before I comment. Obviously I agree!
I couldn't agree more. They were the best years of my life before everyone sucked all the enjoyment out of everything.
I can’t Stand all of these ugly tattoos all over the chicks these days.
YES! Why the women today think it’s attractive to have tattoos up and down their arms and legs?
I would agree with all y'all!!! Everytime I think I see a young innocent girl these days. They have tattoos everywhere. Tramp stamp above their ass! I can remember back in the 70's we called them SKANKS!
As if tattoos were not bad enough, they get piercings everywhere!
I'm 54 and want to go back to 1976. Best years
U
Can!
Back to 1970.
I’m 54 also and want to go back.Best times and best music.
Yep 👍
Also 54, best music every made!
Back when the world was a better place and the women were natural❤👍
Before mepoo and effineesduhs took over everything.
Amen!
Now You Talkin " young Man...... Played this as Growing up... Now Old Green Beret"""" Bring s Memories.

Oh and no F'N political correctness or woke culture!!!
Sounds like my experience. Same with the 61 birth year, went in the Navy in late 79. Graduated boot camp in Cracker Jacks, Jan. of 80. 😎
Amen Brother. 1962, USMC Air Wing, CH-46 Crew Chief. Gotta say though, thongs, yoga pants, and shaved peaches top the 70's :-)
Hear ya brother Me too, born in May of '61 - and led the same life in a small town in western Maine .
59 for me. enjoyed the great lady's.. best rock... Great times
Thank you for you're service! Regan was the First vote I ever cast! My only regret in life was that I didn't serve!!! It haunts me still. However it looks like now just might be my time to step up!!! I won't let this opportunity pass me by!
The best music came out of 60's, 70's and the 80's. I'm 61, and still listen to the classics.
Absofukinglutly!! Hands Down no Questions.
I do too,early 50's!!
No shit. I'm 55, I grew up on this.
Everyday...!
65 and still listening to this music grew up on this brings back great memories

Those are great memories. I wish I had a time machine. Those were great songs.
One should know as a child from having grandparents that father time will get a hold of every one of us.
Amen Brother
Amen to that the tattoos were put on the vans

Takes you back to a time that now seems otherworldly. Today's life just cannot begin to compare to the 1970s. The best decade ever.

Man the Memories of How life was so Sweet 🙋🙋♂️
I sure miss how everything was back, thank God for when I grew up!!!! (Sweet)
The 70's. Wow. My best years to be alive.
The 1970s were the best times of my life. I love this song. It brings back so many memories . So glad those were my teenage years.
Our Son was conceived in that Chevy Van ! Married 36 years and still love that Chevy Van
Man I miss the 70's! I was 16 in 1976 and was having the time of my life.
I enlisted in the Navy in 68. I sure miss all those beautiful bare foot girls and the great music. It just isn't the same and getting worse every day.
Loved going barefoot in the 60's. Would love to go back to the 60's and 70's. The most beautiful years of my life.
I am in my 60's and this brought back fond memories of my youth. Way Cool! High praise from an old hippie.

The music takes me back when times were good
Hindsight...
Hey Andy, I'm with you. Society is to complicated now.
Still good times. Just different. Hang onto the old but be willing 2 let in the new. All good!!
Indeed They Were The Best
I want my 8 track back!!!
I feel blessed to have grown up in that era! I was 16 in 1976, what a great time! Later in the 70's I did have a 1975 Chevy Beauville van, drove it for several years. Man if that van could talk!
No tattoos, no unsightly body piercings, no plastic surgery and a nice mound of fur. Good Lord what the heck happened?
They're all so beautiful and natural, except for the bush. Under those panties, it looks like Buckwheat on a bad hair day!
I used to have a shaggin' wagon. Now all I have is a work van. Times sure change.
Now people live in vans and pretend that they're living "the good life" online.
Similiar story here. But we still have those memories and no one can take that away from us!
@Wayne Dawson 3500
You will never hear music like this anymore, so glad I was old enough to enjoy it. Still here in 4/2024, you?

No We Are Gen X
A long time ago, in a lifetime long gone, I owned a Chevy van... a '71 or'72, if I recall correctly.
Never got so lucky with it as the song describes, but I certainly miss it just the same.
Oh, and I was 18 or 19 then... damn near 60 now, and already thinkin' I've lived far too long.
...and yeah, I'm one of those lost children of the '60s and '70s.
Life wasn't ideal back then, but it was a helluva lot better than it is these days.

I had a 69 Chevy impala. Perfect year. Lol.
You and I remember it well.
It was the Greatest Of Times
@@joeyank2451 I don't know if it was the greatest... but it was certainly the best I've experienced so far. * shrug *
The 70's definitely had the most beautiful women as a whole. 90% were thin,fit,long haired,feminine, care free, natural women.
😊
What a bunch of garbage
Man the memories, love this song, time just goes away.
Indeed
Back in 74, when I was a senior in high school, every boy wanted a van, lol

In 75-76 I worked at the beach, in SC, the best time of my life. All of the great music of the 70's.
Graduated high school in ‘74. This song brings back great memories. The hormones were flying back then.
I LOVE this song and the LONG ending that I never heard before. Maybe it is the version on the album?

I was 12 when this song came out
Met Sammy back in 76 or 77. He was living in the Atlanta burbs. Walked into the foyer of his house and saw his gold record on the wall. Only thing I could say was, oh, that Sammy Johns. Seemed like a great guy.
Great story. So cool.
I was a sophomore in high school when this came out and we had all just gotten our drivers licenses. The older brother of one of my best friends had a tricked out Chevy Van with a table that folded into a bed and the obligatory "If this van's a rockin don't come knockin" bumper sticker. That van was notorious. This song was every young man's fantasy when it came out. Were we all hoping the song was going to be about us.
That is the coolest song man I heard long time I remember that song back in the 70s 55 now and I still love that song
Amazing song from an awesome decade .
I am right there with you oh, I love this song when I listen to it I am young again if only for a moment. Back when girls wore bell-bottoms and halter tops and guys had long hair and vans. Good memories and good music. Keep the 70s alive. 😎✌
Yes yes yes

Best van song and movie ever
There were several van movies back in the day
I had a 1978 chevy customized van and remember this like it was yesterday great tune to cruise to
Yeah the music we were sure blessed to live in the era such as the past of music you can never replace it you can always have it and the musicians that came through since let's say the fifties right up until the eighties you can't replace ever same with the movie stars and the actresses can't replace the ones that were famous and they're all gone now at least you can listen to these tunes and remember how fortunate we are that we the older guys that lived in that era was blessed for sure the world of music today it doesn't mean a thing that the music of yesterday means everything
This song brings back so many good vibes and goosebumps at the same time. Great lyrics!
(Love)
And that one girl that taught me there is someone besides my family that would love me 😊❤
I remember this song playing on the AM radio in the 70's.
Music from a happier world
