Oh thank you for the reaction. I love this song. I was in my 20's when this came out and just about to join the Air Force! Love it.
Love this song and I went on to love Jerry Rafferty. Baker street is a good one.
Oh ya I love that one too
Don't mean to be a pedant but it's Gerry :) .
Another great tune from GR is "Get It Right Next Time."
"Right Down The Line" is another one.
@@sjd5750 that's my favorite :)
i grew up in the 70s, this was a staple of the airwaves back then, just a cool little bee boppin tune....still holds up well
Please, tell me what out there is similar to the song "Sunshine in my window" from Farm, I cant find the genre :(
I grew up in the 70’s in Malibu California and this was DEFINITELY a staple 👍
Jerry Rafferty & Billy Connelly were a folk duo in Scotland known as the Humble Bums before they went their separate ways.
When Rafferty was dying, Connolly was in Australia; and he turned out to be the very last person to be in communication before Rafferty passed. Jerry's wife explained to Billy that her husband could only text, so they did.
Both guys had stayed good friends down through the years. R.I.P.
Me and two friends were driving around one night and this came on. I was sitting in the middle and I thought it was hilarious, they didn't get it lol
Crystal Ford love it😂😂👍🌼✌️
From 1973 ... This tune is as cool today as it was when it came out... has a killer bass line and slide guitar in a rock song!.... It had a video to go with the song before videos were made for songs, a groundbreaking song in many other ways too, lots of First!.... showing my age....
I'm 63yo and still love this song.
It still is fresh, and it looks timeless.
@@itsaspade5771 I'm 67 and still love it!
I’m 65 and still groovin
Mr. Roach Not the first slide on a rock song or first music video... still pretty early on though
Stealer's Wheel was a short-lived British Rock group, that had a modest hit in the US with the song, "Stuck In The Middle With You". It was released by ATCO Records in 1972. I own a copy of the 45-RPM record with this song on it. Lead singer Gerry Rafferty left the group, and embarked on a successful solo career, having a handful of hit songs on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. Gerry Rafferty's biggest hit single (and music video) is for the 1980 song, "Baker Street", which has an incredible guitar solo on it.
This song was in Reservoir Dogs.
Yep, the interrogation scene.
dance time
little green bag...
K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's!
Yea, in the cruelest scene, as I remember it, lost of detached ears and stuff
I got a story that goes with this song. Sometime ago I was on the interstate traveling somewhere. I noticed this car in the middle lane between two other cars. This car in the middle had two bumper stickers, one on the left and the other on the right. Left bumper sticker read: Joker, and had an arrow pointing to the car on the left of it. The right bumper sticker read: Clowns, and had an arrow pointing to the car on the right. I laughed so hard. I knew the reference to this song was created by someone else who knew this song and decided to have some fun with it using bumper stickers. 😂
I've been Binge watching your music videos tonight. SITMWU is such a Quirky, goofy lyric'd yet, slick tune (beer bottle slide guitar) that had always put a smile on my face and a tap to my foot. That said, I've never seen the video before and really laughed at it and your reactions! Thank you and May You and Yours be "Truly" Blessed.
MRM I really love how genuine you are, sir. The mere fact that you start the vids by saying DON'T subscribe until the viewer actually watches some of your content is refreshing in a world of the 10 seconds in and "like and subscribe" bunch here on RUclips.
Excellent tune! From way back in 1973 the year I was born. This song was featured in Reservoir Dogs Micheal Madsen was dancing to it in the warehouse, lol! This band had Gerry Rafferty in it, he later went on to a solo career. Take a listen to his song "Baker Street" it's a most awesome song. Love your channel Brother, God Bless!
Funny looking back but probably pretty disturbing back then, Michael Madsen plays a good psychopath. I was born in 1990, around about the time the movie came out I believe.
EDIT: Tarantino wasn't as famous and people weren’t as accustomed to the goofiness that would follow. So seeing a guy torture a cop before the big stigma with cops, and talking into his severed ear, which was improvised by Madsen by the way, was probably pretty unsettling.
Try Gerry Rafferty with a G
I'm always flubbing that one! Two Uncle (J)erries does it to me, thank you, will fix!
I noticed you omitted the part that Madsen is dancing to this while torturing and killing a cop who is duct taped to a chair...
I only remembered him dancing, the warehouse, and the song until Callum mentioned it above. I assure you it was not an omission of any ill or discriminatory intent.
That's a good one. I might suggest Three Dog Night's tune "Shambala"
David Ryder Yes! Love Three Dog Night!
Three Dog Nights- Momma Told Me Not to Come
I saw them in concert at the Spirit Fest back in the 80's in Kansas City,Mo they were awesome Joy to the World or a It's a Old Fashioned love Song
Anything “Three dogs Night” 😁👏🏼😁👏🏼😁👏🏼
Remember when this came out it was such a catchy tune it's lovely to hear it again after decades thank you
Joe Eagan mimed to the song in this video because Gerry Rafferty the original singer had walked out and left the band. He did return later but at this point there was only 2 members left (Gerry Rafferty and Joe Eagan) and soon after Gerry Rafferty left the band permanently.
Ram jam - black betty
Nancy Jackson I have always wanted to know who sings Black Betty ???????????????? Thanks
@@donnaregister6141 leadbelly originally sang it. Ram jam covered it and so did spiderbait.
@@nancyjackson6584 Thanks so much !!!
Nancy Jackson.... Thank you !!!!!
@@nancyjackson6584 Originally it was a song that many blacks would sing on railroad gangs. Leadbelly isn't the originator of it. It's an older folk like song.
About the beer bottle. It was used as a slide for slide guitar. Back in the old days, some players could not afford slides, so the peeled the labels from short alka-seltzer bottles. Almost perfect fit for your finger.
I grew up listening to this band. Just seeing the thumbnail made the song start in my head.
I remember this song from the 70s the singer is Gerry Rafferty. Who had a big solo hit with Baker street when he left the group.
Hell yeah! Classic song! I grew up listening to this and other classic rock on vinyl albums. And nope, I’m not that old, my parents were just mega hippies and I loved it!
It probably feel like a movie intro song because it’s folk rock. Singers & songwriter’s has a genre all on their own almost. They wrote to include the audience. To make you feel like you could sit down on a picnic blanket at the park while they just played music for the love of music... and because they were really really high.
I used to roller skate to this song, way back in the day!
This is a timeless song for sure
It was a fun song to dance to at parties. This one hit wonder always made me smile.
Just saw this one. If I recall correctly, this was a group with two main players, Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan. the song is about a meeting the two had with the music company and lawyers. Thus, "clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right"
Gerry Rafferty had a glass eye. He was extremely self conscious about it, (even though he used to play horrid jokes on people (like pretending their umbrella poked his eye out, and pop out the glass eye.)) to the point that he wore sunglasses on stage, so people wouldn't notice it.
Gerry Rafferty went on as a solo act, and did many popular songs as a soloist.
I don't know what happened to Joe Egan.
The Singer, songwriter, acoustic guitar, Gerry Rafferty. Check out Baker Street as Gerry Rafferty, no band name. Great sax.
The comments about the song being in Reservoir Dogs are correct. It was Quentin Tarantino's 1st really good movie in his wild style of film making. I suggest you check it out if you ever have time between RUclips, family, and your job. This movie has some other great tunes in it too!
I absolutely love this song...I can't listen to it without seeing Michael Madsen dancing around with a straight razor in Reservoir Dogs.
There were a lot of little gems like this in the 60's and 70's.
I remember roller skating to this every weekend
I've heard this song thousands of times, love it. One day on FB I saw a post of 2 semis going down the road, one passing the other. Someone took a pic, the left semi had Clowns written on the back, the one on the right said Jokers....Kids wouldn't get it but I found it hilarious!
Boy that song brings back memories lol. great reaction.
One of my all time faves
This song was famously used in the ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs
Funky Song. Gerry Rafferty is the chief talent in Stealer Wheel and Rafferty went on t a distinguished solo career. City to City which included the hit Baker Street was one of the biggest selling Albums of the 70s and I think briefly knocked Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack off the Number 1 Spot . However I hate to bring a cloud over this broadcast but this song was used to harrowing effect in an actual movie . It was the early 90s film Reservoir Dogs and the film was the first in many films that made Quentin Tarantino a Superstar Filmmaker . Yes he wrote and directed Reservoir Dogs !
You mentioning music playing in the alley play me think of the Rod Stewart song the Motown song.
" Bring over some of your old Motown records, put the speakers in the window and let go, open up and listen to the Miracles echo through the alley down below..."
Everyone has told you already but, yeah... Gerry Rafferty is the man. His biggest hit was "Baker Street". What they haven't told you is that the entire album (City o City) is fantastic. It's like every single song was a hit. Definitely an album you should own.
Yes absolutely. Gerry Rafferty was so great but many just know him for a few songs
@@bttrflygal After I watched this video I listened to the entire album.... for the millionth time. I think my favorite cuts are the slow ones, particularly "The Ark" and "Stealing Time".
@@TheFlowNetwork I like those very much. I keep discovering more and more of his music on you tube .. I enjoy it so much
Hear hear!.genius!.
Heard this when I was in 3rd grade on the school bus. Brings back memories. Like Little Willy by The Sweet. Love this reaction video.
this song has been a staple on classic rock radio stations since the 1970s, Cheryl Crow did a song that sounds like Stuck in the Middle back in the 90s called All I wanna do is have some fun. Obviously you can tell that music vidoes or "promotional films" were not as important as the music back then, I've heard the song a million times but this is the first time I've seen this film. As for the film I haven't missed much. I should emphasize that it seems the video is just as important if not more so than the song today. back then nobody cared about any promotional video. It has become a more visual and less audio world.
Stealers Wheel is Gerry Rafferty on lead vocals he went on to have a couple huge solo hits such as.. right down the line or Baker Street... right next time those are some songs think you'll really enjoy peace and happiness my friend..😁
love Baker Street
Gerry Rafferty was a co-writer with Joe Egan who is in this video miming the vocals that were actually sung by Rafferty who had left the band at this point. Towards the end of the 70s, Gerry put out some great hits of his own - 'Baker Street' and 'Right Down The Line'. Then, being uncomfortable with fame, apparently, he refused to tour in support of subsequent albums and kind of disappeared. He did put out good material whenever he felt like it over the years but refused to work on anyone's terms but his own. Basically, he could have been a major star but simply didn't want that. He died in 2011.
G.Rafferty was very well known and respected in the UK but in the end didn't cope with 'fame'.
Gerald Rafferty went on to make some pretty good music..''baker Street'', ''right down the line'' My fav by him is ''Days gone down'' or some know it as ''Still Got the Light in Your Eyes''
You're thinking of Reservoir Dogs for sure. Tarantino always chooses GREAT music.
The guy singing in the video is actually not the one who sang in the studio, Gerry Rafferty sang this song. They recorded the video after he quit the band. He went on to record “Baker Street”. I’m sure you’ve heard that on the radio at least once!
One of the great bar songs. You're at the bar, clowns and jokers all around, and there's the girl you're trying to hook up with - stuck in the middle with you.
Love Gerry Rafferty who.isnt in this video as he walked away from the band. But It's his voice we hear.
I was hoping someone would point that out. Thanks! 👍🏻
Wasn’t he there for five seconds at the beginning ? Thought I was going a little mad
Great classic. Hippies are cool, again. Grand Funk Railroad, or even better, The Band will give you all you need to feel like you're back in the early 70's. "The Weight" from The Band is one of the best that era has to offer. Keep up the great vid's, and keep it real.
Love, love this song...just a great feel good song ❤
I know this song was in Resevior Dogs and commercials. I’ve loved this song since I was a small kid. You’ve heard it.
Lost from us sadly, the legend, the man, the comedian Gerry Rafferty. 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
The interesting thing about this video is that it's Joe Egan lip syncing to Gerry Rafferty's vocals. Gerry wouldn't do the video so Joe had to step up and do it. Joe did sing with the band though, check out the video to "I Get By" to hear him sing. Gerry didn't show up for that video either.
Apprrciate your info .Gerry didn't like the business or performing .
George Baker wit little green bag, it was a Dutch band with a great hit back in those days... also from the movie resevoir dogs ;)
Love your channel! I can say right now when you only have 22,000 subscribers you are going to be real big real soon on RUclips. You have the perfect personality for this medium. Great job. Glad I found you and subscribed.
It wasn't playing at the beginning of the movie (Reservoir Dogs), but during a part of the movie when a guy was getting his ear cut off!
I was 11 when this came out. Always loved when it came on the radio, such a upbeat tune. Used to dance around the living room. lol
For the longest time I thought this was Bob Dylan. Finally I heard their name announced on the radio. LOL. That was years ago.
When the guy gets his ear cut off in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, this is the song.
They used this song in Quenton Tarrintino's
"Reservoir Dogs".
Awesome variety! Music from all ages and genres 😎🤙 this reaction was great 👍 I was wondering what they were on Lol.....the 70’s I guess.😎♿️♿️♿️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♿️🤙👍✌️👍👍
Jerry Rafferty used to be in a band called the Humblebums with Scottish stand-up Billy Connolly
Binge watching is a must
This song was in reservoir dogs, that's where you remember it from most likely
I loved stealer's wheel (12 when it came out) and i loved some Gerry Rafferty, and until now i did not know Rafferty was in Wheel! Thanks for educating us by educating yourself.
I'm pretty sure that the one actually singing this song is Gerry Rafferty, even though he doesn't appear in this video. Gerry Rafferty was largely the driving force behind Stealers Wheel.
"Baker Street," "Right Down the Line," and "Get It Right Next Time" are some GREAT Gerry Rafferty songs!
Bless your heart for being a great human being!
This song was in... everything.
Those were the clowns to the left of him and the Jokers to the right and there he was Stuck In The Middle With You. Gerry Rafferty was a talented guy. Check out his album called City to City.
The band was lead by two singers Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan. This song is sung by Rafferty but he quit the band before they made the video. So that's the other singer Joe Egan pretending like he's singing. That's why he's acting so silly because it's not his voice. So the lead singer of this song is not in this video. Rafferty did return to the band but they broke up a couple of years later and Rafferty then had his solo hits like "Baker Street."
Love when they use cowbell in classic rock!
ive seen bottles used as slides before but in the late 70's early 80's we were using dead AA batteries. But only the metal cover ones work well (Duracells work very well) the ones with a plastic over paper label are useless.
I was 67 to 73. Things were adjusting.
The movie "Reservoir Dogs" uses this song in a particularly brutal/semi-humorous scene with Michael Madsen. Check it out.
I am so glad that when I knew this music all we had was the radio and not these distracting videos! Love this song!
I always thought that Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do" (1994) heavily borrowed from this....maybe that's why it sounds familiar? Love your videos Ty!
That song was always played at parties at the park .swimming pools .skating ring .popular in the 70 and everybody had it and it went well with what we had going on. I understand the party. but I really didn't understand why they put close up on people pigging out cuz we never ate that way..we was stuck in the middle between friends.and relatives . drunks and Stoney's. it was all in good fun. nobody got hurt and everybody made it home alive. And we all was acting like clowns and Jokers and everything in between.
Classic song but I had never seen this video before. It's one all time classic song and probably has been on the radio, tv and everywhere and anywhere a million time since the early 70s
Baker's Street or Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty is on, one of the best album's ever. Every song on that album is a keeper.
Usually,when making a slide out of a wine bottle, the neck of the bottle is cut off and used.
The bass is pretty badass for 1970! Fun song.
I think of this song when I am at work.
It was in the Movie Resivior Dogs where Michael Madsens character cuts off an ear.
This song was in the original movie Reservoir Dogs
Beer bottle = improvised slide for modified "steel guitar" sound. 😊 Sweet !
Here are a couple of Canadian Bands
The pursuit of happiness hard to laugh, i'm an adult now, she's so young and cigarette dangles, Blue Rodeo try, rose coloured glasses, 5 days in may and many more songs and the Northern pikes She ain't pretty, teenland, and girl with a problem and the tragically hip Ahead by a Century, blow at high dough, little bones and many more
Haha I remember my dad playing this and remember him playing with his band good stuff. Miss ya pops
Yes. I do binge watch.
Hey man, the bottle thing. Its called slide guitar. You use a bottle or tube to make that distinct country guitar sound.
I wish I could support you man i'm 60 and only get my diss, check but I love what your doing.
Another good song from a time when the bands were true bands.
I can't watch this video without thinking that the singer looks like Ryan Dunn, from the show Jackass and Bam Margera's show.
Really like your channel, and your views!!!!
80s and 90s it was used as a commercial jingle
Holy Smokes this is an oldie but goodie! The fact that they made a video of this in 1973 is actually shocking, way ahead of the trend on that. The video is weird, better to just listen :-). I love the slide guitar in this song, seems like only country uses a slide guitar nowadays. There was a smattering of music videos in the 70's but it didn't really take off until 1980 with the launch of MTV. Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles was an eerily accurate prediction, the perfect launch song for MTV.
So 'Radio GaGa' and 'I Want My MTV' were written as caustic reaction.
Love this song brought back a lot of memories!!!😁
Stealers Wheel not Steelers Wheel. Anyway Stealers Wheel were formed in Paisley, Scotland in 1972 and were a folk/rock band. In this particular promo video Stealers Wheel vocalist/lyricist and main man Gerry Rafferty is not present. His vocals are here mimed by band member Joe Egan. Rafferty had temporarily left the band prior to the filming of this video but returned in due course. If you want to see the band complete with Rafferty in the band and performing this song there is a version here on RUclips with the band performing on the TV show Top of the Pops. Gerry Rafferty enjoyed huge solo success in the late 70's after the band split up in 1975. May I suggest Gerry Rafferty - 'Baker Street' or 'Night Owl'.

I love what you're doing, and I hope you keep up the good work! Can I make a suggestion? Take a few seconds before you upload and double check the band/song name. This is the second time in 2 days I've noticed an error in the title. This should be 'Stealers Wheel'. The one from yesterday should have been 'The Band Perry". Thank you!
Prolific!! You are prolific let me tell you, hon. This song was my sneak win on music trivia, everyone else thought these were Beatles. Hah! So I rang in with the win. Who knows a lot of stuff about nothing, this girl!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!! (And I love your reactions to these, but I keep forgetting to like them! LOL)
Need to adjust the volume.,FANTASTIC SONG, THEY STILL PLAY IT ON MY CLASSIC ROCK STATION. D93 BG KY
Only a handful of performers can make a cow bell sound really great.
