Hey Jamel 🤗 Just wanted to let you know I was watching your reaction to Take It Easy On Me by the Little River Band a few days ago & noticed that one of the founding members, Graeham Goble, had commented that he enjoyed your appreciation for his music. The comment only got a couple of likes & yours wasn't one of them, so I wasn't sure if you had seen it. I didn't check back again so maybe you saw it later. Just wanted to give you a heads up ✌️💜
absolutely....what planet is Jamel from....lol....he don't know this....even people who don't smoke pot....burn incense for aroma and calming effect...and it's popular today...sometimes I wonder about him.....his own generation brought back the incense from the 60's thing....hahaha...lol....hahaha....
There's another song called Psychotic Reaction by Count Five and during the middle of the song, it almost sounds like early thrash metal and it's from 1965.
Man, knowing the state of mind, what it is about, is there a hidden meaning etc is the neatest thing about Js' reaction. Many of the tunes I heard long ago but never thought about the essence
Trivia: Ed King, lead guitarist in this band, at 2:51 on the left in this video, would later become a founding member of the band Lynrd Skynrd. He wrote the iconic guitar intro to “Sweet Home Alabama”.
@@jimirayo I think he replaced their original bass player, who quit, had second thoughts, and rejoined. When he did, Ed King moved to guitar. Notably, in the interviews I have seen, he says in essence that he felt like an outsider. When I think of original band members, I think of the ones who founded the particular group. Pete Best did not play on any albums, but he was an original member of The Beatles.
Wow!!! I was 7 years old army brat living in Germany and I remember hearing this song in the mornings before going to school…fast forward to now and I was fortunate to meet one of the original members of this band…he was so thrilled when I knew who the Strawberry Alarm Clock was…and even happier that I knew some of the lyrics!!! Great song 🎶 ♥️
Ah, yes...sigh...those were the days..to be born in the 50's and be a teen in the 60's..best music..best times....a much simpler time, although we did have our share of sorrow along with the love..all in all, it was great back then.. keep bringing the music, Jamal...we love it ❤❤
Ed King, who played bass guitar and lead guitar at different times with this band, and Mark Weitz, the keyboardist, wrote the music. Someone from outside of the band wrote the lyrics. Ed King, by the way, is responsible for the opening guitar riff on Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama.
The biggest 1 hit wonder of all time has to be "In The Year 2525 by Zager and Evans; #1 for 6 weeks in the summer of 1969, #1 during the Apollo moon landing and #1 during the Woodstock Festival, and they never even cracked the Hot 100 again
Never heard this song before, gave it a listen, don't need to listen to it ever again. Bad tune..However, spot on with the lyrics, forget 7510, the checklist to this song may be completed by 2025
@@mikeshoe74 I always hated that song, it's the kind of song that you don't just change the station if it comes on the car radio, you jump out of the car
This brings back so many memories of my teens. Poet Nunnally, Edie Rose, Mike Rice, football, band, science club, Mack Eplen's drive inn... Good days of innocence and bright futures.
This song was number one nation-wide when Strawberry Alarm Clock played at our high school--Serra High in Gardena, California. Serra had already signed them for one of our dances. They played that song twice that evening. Memorable. They were very, very good.
@@MessalineApghar Lol! But don't think so. They played the song about midway through their set--and we--the whole crowd--asked them to play it again at the end. It was such a hit then--and they were kind enough to accommodate our wishes.
More trippyness I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night by the Electric Prunes, Journey to the Center of the Mind by the Amboy Dukes and Ichycoo Park by Small Faces
So glad you played this Jamel! I’m 67 yrs old & have always loved 60’s music. This song is my all time favorite & I have it as my ringtone on my phone! Keep bringing the great music! 😊🤘💜💚
Lol I saw these guys at a restaurant /bar in Malibu back in the mid 2000s...they were getting up on the stage with walkers and canes and still rocked the place!
Our middle school dance was done to the theme of this song with decorations of incense and peppermints. I never saw the video of the song before though. Thanks for showing this. - Ahh, the days of Nehru collars and paisley prints. So tally cool at the time.
Ed King from this band joined a band after he left them and joined a band that is the furthest from a one hit wonder band you could possibly be, named LYNYRD SKYNYRD!
Guitarist Steve Bartek went to school for composition and eventually joined Oingo Boingo. He also orchestrated film scores for his ex-bandmate Danny Elfman.
Man. I'd be 70 now, but what a gas it would've been to be have been born in 1951. As it was, I was raised by a boomer, so I heard a lot of these songs in my 70s childhood, including this one.
Hi man, so when I first heard this song, I was 6 years old...in 1967 after it was released...I was amazed at this song...any time it came on the radio, I was glad it was on...I didn't know what they were talking about, of coarse, and it's still vague, you know, probably a bunch of analogies that are left for a person to come to their own conclusion on...but the chord changes in it was unlike anything out there...had the cow bell going, does the little two hi hat hits surprise when everything stops after the guitar solo...what I didn't care for was the very ending where it goes into the "sha la la", but I can appreciate it more, because I learned the ending on acoustic guitar, and it sounds ok doing it just "guy at an open mic with his acoustic guitar" kind of direction...I paused this early on to comment when you're being all "aww hell, no!...", hahahaha! So I'm really interested if you're going to take to it or not...Regardless, thanks for the video, and hope you and yours are doing great!
The Cyrkle had another Top 40 hit “Turn Down Day” (which I like much better than Red Rubber Ball🤷🏻♀️) so I think that takes them out of One Hit status.
Junior high .....Red Rubber Ball was pretty good in the day (still like it ...nostalgia maybe). Turn Down Day was good (sounded more like the Mama's and Papa's or Spanky and Gang, but best know for RRB
Hippy-dom. Psychedelia. Acid rock. Peace and Love. Flower Power. Summer of Love. The year was 1967 and 'Incense And Peppermints" hits #1 on the Billboard charts in November. Do YOU remember? I certainly do!
Hey Jamel the guitarist in the gold suit was the late Ed King who later went on to play with Lyrnyrd Skynyrd. He passed away on August 22 2018. God rest his soul. Take care stay safe and rock on Jamel, You The Man!!
Another one-hit wonder from this era: "Fire" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Few bands have ever been more appropriately named. This song needs to be seen live!
Arthur Brown was the vocalist on the song The Tell Tale Heart from the Alan Parsons Project album Tales of Mystery and Imagination Edgar Allen Poe in 1976.
The hippie age! Loved it! Neru jackets, peace beads, roman sandals, white go go boots, miniskirts, granny gowns, flower power, all things love, peace and happiness!
Some of the weird names were from a series of stupid jokes that were going around at the time. Examples: What is red and wakes you up every morning? Strawberry alarm clock What is purple and drives Captain Ahab crazy? Moby Grape
I think Jimi Hendrix beat that by a country mile,with his version of "Gloria",That said,Blue Cheer were Unequalled in their uniqueness Most Definitely!
Even stranger in name was the Electric Prunes, but they were no joke. "I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) from late 1966 and follow-up "Get Me To The World On Time" from '67 truly rock.
When this came out when I was 7, I gave no thought to: "To divide the cockeyed world in two Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do Beatniks and politics, nothin' is new A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view"
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was my introduction to One toke over the line. Benicio Del Toro was singing it when he was tripping hard in the hotel room.
For Brewer and Shipley, Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead was brought in to play played steel guitar on the Tarkio sessions. He didn't play on "One Toke Over The Line," but did appear on the B-side, "Oh Mommy' (I Ain't No Commie)."
I'm pretty sure I already requested these but they fit right in with this one: The Seeds - Pushin' Too Hard (ruclips.net/video/Szk_bO1O4iw/видео.html) The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) (ruclips.net/video/IeVnbAfcwv8/видео.html)
I think incense and peppermint are the simple pleasures that make life sweeter. Drugs were a daily presence and I think you can read anything you like into any song you hear. I like the gentleness of this song.
And then there was the band that did “Hot Smoke and Sassafras.” I think that was Bubble Puppy trying to capitalize on the success of this song by badly trying to replicate it. This song I think was more representative of Sunshine Pop than psychedelia. Although the two did go hand-in-hand. If I’m not mistaken this one did hit number one in the United States.
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end. Believe it or not, that's from memory, not having heard it since the last time (thankfully) I heard it on the radio.
the incense to cover the smell of weed and the peppermints so they couldn't smell it in your breath. This brings back sooooo many memories to this old hippie.
Yep, a good band. Remember the extended middle finger on a wash board in the cover photo for the early copies of the first (?) album. Later it was air brushed out.
Hey Jamel I actually got a few One-Hit-Wonders for you: Peppermint Twist The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia - Vickie Lawrence Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)
I remember first hearing this song in Austin Powers when it came out and I was 11 years old. I was just discussing this with my co-workers yesterday telling them that that movie got me into 60's music, so I have to thank it for that.
Incense & Peppermint was considered one of the first “Psychadelic Songs” ushering in the “Summer Of Love/1967” As a child in the early 1970s - I remember hearing this song being played quite a bit over the radio.
A serious one-hit wonder. Before everything was legal everywhere, incense and peppermints were used to mask the smell of marijuana both in the air and on your breath.
Love love LOVE this song.... it was my dad's favorite... and I love it when the drummer is the lead singer... I'm always amazed at the fact they can keep time and sing all at once! That and Randy was a doll baby!

I was going to comment word for word the same thing.
Additionally strawberry was a popular thing with weed. Strawberry papers and incense.
But none of us would know that first hand. Honest Ma!
Smoke the weed, take a swig of peppermint Schnapps....incense to cover up the smell, lol
There's another song called Psychotic Reaction by Count Five and during the middle of the song, it almost sounds like early thrash metal and it's from 1965.

Hey Jamel, the lead guitar player for the Strawberry Alarm Clock was Ed King, later with Lynyrd Skynyrd and wrote "Sweet Home Alabama".
This song still runs through my head from time to time.
The Youngbloods-Get together . You will love the message!!
One of the best tunes to come out of the '60's.
The lead singer was Jesse Colin Young who went on to a fairly decent solo career as a singer-songwriter.
Debbie Gravley , If it weren't for copyright issues that song should be his shows theme song.
"Darkness darkness" is also excellent
I loved that song at the time. It played constantly on the radio.

The hippie age! Loved it! Neru jackets, peace beads, roman sandals, white go go boots, miniskirts, granny gowns, flower power, all things love, peace and happiness!
This was the 60’s. They were very creative with their names & songs. Enjoy!! 💖
For sure, makes no sense in retrospect. But seemed rad then. Ain't that always the way though???
good times, psychedelic music, another good one is "I had too much to dream" by Electric Prunes.
Some of the weird names were from a series of stupid jokes that were going around at the time.
Examples: What is red and wakes you up every morning? Strawberry alarm clock
What is purple and drives Captain Ahab crazy? Moby Grape
It's hard to believe that the singer/drummer was only 16 yrs old.Such a mature voice he had.
The lead guitarist is ED KING from before he joined Lynyrd Skynyrd....
Barefoot just like Ronnie used to be.
I was 13 when this song came out and I had such a CRUSH the drummer/lead singer. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
His name is Randy Seol and he's alive and well. Didn't sing the lead on the record but should have as it was a non-band member who did.
@Peter-y2w9y so he was just lipsyncing? I still love him though lol.
it's a pleasure to see a person enjoy all styles of music and not stick to one genre only. An eclectic taste is wonderful to see.
"Trippy" is the word. Other songs they do are "Barefoot in Baltimore" "Sit with the Guru", "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" and "Tomorrow" ☮
"Sit with the Guru" is magnificent.
Barefoot in baltimore is ecletically electric
This is the song that started me on my rock and roll journey in 1967 at the age of eleven. Early psychedelic.
Fun fact Ed king played on this song guitar player also created the opening riftf and played on Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet home Alabama
the kind of song that says in your brain for a long time after listening to it a few times. I love it.

Blue cheer summertime blues. The dirtiest, greasiest, NASTIEST song of the 60s.
I recently rewatched the video. Excellent!
I think Jimi Hendrix beat that by a country mile,with his version of "Gloria",That said,Blue Cheer were Unequalled in their uniqueness Most Definitely!
I liste to that and I hear metal, stoner rock and psych before their time. So freakin heavy!
Blue Cheer was a great band! They did have a few different tacks on the radio back in the day. Out of Focus was a good one.
Even stranger in name was the Electric Prunes, but they were no joke. "I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) from late 1966 and follow-up "Get Me To The World On Time" from '67 truly rock.
When this came out when I was 7, I gave no thought to:
"To divide the cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothin' is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view"
We were trippy alright. Thanks for this, haven't heard it for too long. I remember being about 12 and my mom singing it
Brewer and Shipley,- One toke over the line
Its a beautiful day,- White bird
Delaney and Bonnie,- Only you know and I know
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was my introduction to One toke over the line. Benicio Del Toro was singing it when he was tripping hard in the hotel room.
For Brewer and Shipley, Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead was brought in to play played steel guitar on the Tarkio sessions. He didn't play on "One Toke Over The Line," but did appear on the B-side, "Oh Mommy' (I Ain't No Commie)."

I think incense and peppermint are the simple pleasures that make life sweeter. Drugs were a daily presence and I think you can read anything you like into any song you hear. I like the gentleness of this song.
"5 O' Clock World." by The Vogues.
Always loved this song.
And the psychedelic call to "tune in, turn on, turn your eyes around." from hippie guru Timothy Leary's "tune in, turn on, drop out."
My kind of music! Thanks for taking me back again brother Jam!
And then there was the band that did “Hot Smoke and Sassafras.” I think that was Bubble Puppy trying to capitalize on the success of this song by badly trying to replicate it. This song I think was more representative of Sunshine Pop than psychedelia. Although the two did go hand-in-hand. If I’m not mistaken this one did hit number one in the United States.
This song and lyrics still stand TODAY, maybe more now than EVER in 2022. ✌❤
The mighty Ed King on guitar! He went on to be a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd and helped write some of their greatest songs.
Right on!.....R.I.P Sir Ed!
You should also check out the Strawberry Alarm Clock song "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow."
One of my favorite 60s songs.
"Those Were The Days" by Mary Hopkin.
Love that one!
Beautiful song!
That was one of my favorites when I was a child.
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end. Believe it or not, that's from memory, not having heard it since the last time (thankfully) I heard it on the radio.

the incense to cover the smell of weed and the peppermints so they couldn't smell it in your breath. This brings back sooooo many memories to this old hippie.
"I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night" by the Electric Prunes
Jamel, congrats on hitting 700k subscribers! Onwards towards 1 million.
Hey has anyone mentioned “ Radar Love” from Golden Earring.
Technically not a one hit wonder, Golden Earring had a second hit 11 years later with "Twilight Zone".
@@riffraff60 you beat me to it
Well those guys aren't one hitter quitters
They had many albums and hits over 20 years, popular in Europe.
Oh, I remember and love this song. ❤️ 🍭
I was a teenager doing acid when this song came out. Another rarely heard band was Moby Grape.
Yep, a good band. Remember the extended middle finger on a wash board in the cover photo for the early copies of the first (?) album. Later it was air brushed out.
I'm a teenager doing acid right now... I just looked in the mirror and my face is melting into a 70 year old's.
I'm 50 years old and love this song. Can't wait for this reaction.
NEXT ONE to check out: The Cyrkle -- Red Rubber Ball
I dig that song!! ❤️💜💚
RIP Ed King. Co Writer of "Sweet Home Alabama" and other great hits. And founder of Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Hey Jamel
I actually got a few One-Hit-Wonders for you:
Peppermint Twist
The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace
The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia - Vickie Lawrence
Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)
I remember first hearing this song in Austin Powers when it came out and I was 11 years old. I was just discussing this with my co-workers yesterday telling them that that movie got me into 60's music, so I have to thank it for that.
If you'd like to hear one of the best feel good pop songs ever, give "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" by Spiral Starecase a try. 😉
Incense & Peppermint was considered one of the first “Psychadelic Songs” ushering in the “Summer Of Love/1967” As a child in the early 1970s - I remember hearing this song being played quite a bit over the radio.
Western Union by the five Americans
A favorite from my senior year in high school. They played locally here in Long Beach, CA back then. Thanks!!
A serious one-hit wonder. Before everything was legal everywhere, incense and peppermints were used to mask the smell of marijuana both in the air and on your breath.
So they are really not 'meaningless nouns'? Wink
Love love LOVE this song.... it was my dad's favorite... and I love it when the drummer is the lead singer... I'm always amazed at the fact they can keep time and sing all at once! That and Randy was a doll baby!
