I think the snare drum accidentally goes off the 2 and 4 beat at 3:24, but is quickly corrected. It all adds to part of the charm of this song. I just listened to an episode of Song Exploder about their song Low Rider, and as they created songs out of jams in the studio, it would make sense that their vibe is relaxed and a little mistake here and there is no big deal in the grand scheme of things.
was an incredible group from the 70s with all their songs mixing all those bluesy afro jazz sounds, the harmonica of Lee Oskar Papa DAllen (qepd) the whole group,
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future!!!!!

I'm 65 years old, Back in 1974 ?? I seen War play at Madison Square Garden in NYC, I didn't know wat to expect with there Music, I'm so, so happy that I went, It blew me off my seat, It was 1 of the Best concerts That I Ever Went too, That was about 1974?? Now it's 2021 And I Still feel the Same, I Never Forgot about that Night I Wish that they were Still Around, Cause I would go back to C them at 65 Years Old !!
This song came out when I was six. I have never outgrown the belief that it really is this simple. There is no good reason why we can't all just get along.
It’s not that simple the song is asking why can’t we be friends because it knows we can’t. There are many complicated reasons but it is an optimistic song and you are right in saying there is no good reason for it

How much better it was? This song is about the rampant racism of the time, and nobody can get over their prehudices, obviously theres still racist today but to say there was less racism and prejudice in the 70's is truly delusional
I'm 57 years old...I remember getting a "treat" cereal for breakfast at 9 years old. (Cap'n Crunch regular ") This song was on the radio and my Mom, Tia, and Dad..stopped everything. and we shimmied and chair danced. I am in the most happy memories and Cries! This song is SO Important now days!!!!!
...the horror(s) remain.--- all around us. endure/suffer this/"it'. Smile, then "sing" w/by the mind/heart.(w/❤humor); humbly to suggest: 🤫dance...in the heart.😊
This is another of "wars" songs that was ahead of its time and everyone can relate even still to this day. Again another classic and timeless piece of music. I have this one also on my Playlist I grew up listening to this music the beat is awesome
The more things change, the more they stay the same... This song is genius and timeless. The satire and social commentary is as spot-on as it ever was. Can't wait to see these guys in Seattle tomorrow!
It starts with you. You have a choice. You don't have to participate in the antagonism. Blessed are the peacemakers, they will be called children of God. Love this band
I find it hysterical when WAR is characterized in some specific genre: Funk, Soul or ? More than anything it was a collection of insanely talented musicians, a lot of great music came out of that era, WAR was some of the best.
I wasn't even born in 70's, 80's, or even the 90's. But my Dad used to play this in VHS tapes, MP3 disc players, and old players back in my childhood days. It feels so nostalgic to see this. It feels like I was born from the 90's.
Singing this as a first grader in '76 on way to school. Moma was made to crank it up too. Child hood innocence...had no idea of its meaning. Just knew it was my jam. Peace to all
I remember old friend of mine. Every weekend, i would came to his house to play Xbox with him while his father would play a radio out loud and i remember this song repeatedly played every Sunday morning until we both unconsciously singing along to this song together. But after we graduate from middle school, out of sudden, he passed away from kidney failure. This song reminds me of him everytime. And honestly, I'm crying right now... Hope you doing well up there, Ricky.
and before that even. I think the song could relate to anyone whether they're a hippie in the 1960s, a Jew in the 40s, or a slave in the Roman Empire in 20AD. humanity changes but somehow also stays the same.
Back in '75, when this song came out, my father heard it on the radio a lot. But he kind of misheard the lyric. Picture a man entering middle age, sitting at a red light, radio blasting, windows rolled all the way down, singing at the top of his lungs: "I GET REAL DEPRESSED!!! I GET REAL DEPRESSED!!!!" And we he came home, he asked my mom why everyone was staring at him strangely while at the light. 😂 TRUE STORY!

I really like this video, thanks for the great quality! I've a 32 months baby who is learning to talk and he really loves to sing this song. Lot of love from Chile 🇨🇱
This really is the question right now! Why can't we be friends? If we could just try not to hurt somebody with our actions and words it really would answer this question.
I love WAR, thanks to my father. He would play me low rider in his 82 Supra when he would pick me up from the bus stop after school! Good times. I wouldn't know of this band if it wasn't for my dad.
Once in the late 70s, a local radio station spent a day counting down the top 100 songs of the decade. I was 11 or 12 years old, and my pick for top song was Why Can't We Be Friends. Since I was quite young, I took the countdown far more seriously than I would take such a thing now. I figured this song would at least be in the top 10. I listened all day long. Finally, when it got down to number one, I figured this had to be it, since it had not appeared on the list all day. But no. The top song of the 70s was: Feelings. This song was not even in their top 100. It was a real learning experience for me.
Violence and intolerance will never end, but i found another sense by this, that no matter how worse the world is, everyone can live in harmony and love each other unconditionally and vibe for a song together.
I've commented on this Song more than a few times. This song was amazing when it first came out. Its even more important these days! The lyrics are a wake up call & A Message!
I wish I was born LOOONG ago. I watched Lethal weapon recently and hearing this song at the end of four just... Resonated. War was great and I hate how I was born too late to witness it all in the flesh.
This song was very edgy for the day and time. Love it! I’m 52 and haven’t thought of this song in many years. So happy to find the video! WAR for the 40 year win 🥇!

And we he came home, he asked my mom why everyone was staring at him strangely while at the light. 😂 TRUE STORY!
Tough as fck eh Angel? Father's Day ads are doing my head in. He left in 2007. Thank you so much for letting us love your beautiful funny father too. Hope he's still here for you Angel
@@ctw8735 Both my parents left in 2015, within 6 months of each other.
@@AvengingAngel777 Sorry hon. Sounds like true love to me,.....both leaving so quickly.....#fck.......so hard for you.....#fck......Your dad had some light/darkness issues...depression? I miss both my parents. You can't ask them about stuff anymore!! But your WAR story is loved

No existe chile

@@Comuzzy tienes razón hermano, ya casi tiene 3 años, creo que todavía no lo acepto ajaja.
“Why cant we be friends” 🔥🗣️🔥🗣️
If your mad at someone and it's over something pitiful, listen to this song. Old, but yet wise.
This really is the question right now! Why can't we be friends? If we could just try not to hurt somebody with our actions and words it really would answer this question.
Yeah. I. Remember. These. Guys. They. We're. Great. Great. Music. And the. Lyrics. Are. Awesome
Awesome

Saw them last night in Immokalee FL...Lonnie is still rocking! Superb
Lindo, Hermoso, Gracias.....Un abrazo desde Chile
More relative than ever.. Peace to all, and thank you for this amazing masterpiece!
I love WAR, thanks to my father. He would play me low rider in his 82 Supra when he would pick me up from the bus stop after school! Good times. I wouldn't know of this band if it wasn't for my dad.
Saw WAR in the 70's, 'Day on the Green" concert, great memories of a great band.
Why can't we have songs like this anymore?
@@uietwyatt4841 Typical answer from a fucking gaymer. Let me know when you grow a dick, your balls drop and leave your parents' home.
I love the intro to this song. It instantly puts me into a good mood when I hear those "Ooo Ooo Ooo's"
Agradezco a mis padres haberles heredado el buen gusto de la música de antes ❣️❣️ una verdadera joya esta canción
Once in the late 70s, a local radio station spent a day counting down the top 100 songs of the decade. I was 11 or 12 years old, and my pick for top song was Why Can't We Be Friends. Since I was quite young, I took the countdown far more seriously than I would take such a thing now. I figured this song would at least be in the top 10. I listened all day long. Finally, when it got down to number one, I figured this had to be it, since it had not appeared on the list all day. But no. The top song of the 70s was: Feelings. This song was not even in their top 100. It was a real learning experience for me.
This song beats a lot of songs in the top 100s.
America needs this now more than ever
Lethal weapon 4 had me looking for this song.. I found it (thank God) and I can't get enough of it.. classic!
Violence and intolerance will never end, but i found another sense by this, that no matter how worse the world is, everyone can live in harmony and love each other unconditionally and vibe for a song together.
me and my old man would listen to this band on his playlist all the time, Its engraved in my mind. RIP My grumpy old man we all miss you
This band needs more recognition.
I've commented on this Song more than a few times. This song was amazing when it first came out. Its even more important these days! The lyrics are a wake up call & A Message!
I wish I was born LOOONG ago. I watched Lethal weapon recently and hearing this song at the end of four just... Resonated. War was great and I hate how I was born too late to witness it all in the flesh.
These guys are so ahead of their time.
This song would do fine were it released today.
Good stuff. Don't miss out.
This music is very beautiful and relaxing, hopefully it will not be forgotten
Such pure, clean and true lyrics. This song penetrates the soul, truly an absolute exceptional song.
This song was very edgy for the day and time. Love it! I’m 52 and haven’t thought of this song in many years. So happy to find the video! WAR for the 40 year win 🥇!
Edgy? You don’t know what that word means, lol.
@@alexgomez6723 Means goes strongly against public opinion stupid dummy

nobody gives a shit @@adammcfarland3060
@@adammcfarland3060no way did you just say that unironically
@@adammcfarland3060I can't believe this is what you say in the comment section of THIS song
This has to be an all time point blank,to the heart playfully done song!Timeless!!!!
A truly strong message that will never stop being true- this song is a true blessing!
Yea it ia
This is so profoundly beutiful
That hat in the 2nd beat is so nice
It's the song's best friend, so consistent and crisp
I love the spirit of this song, I would have been proud to write it...
Back in 1981 I use to visit BB in San Bernardino CA. He was always nice and cared what my friends and I were up to
Still love this song after all these decades 💕
One of my favorite songs, like the message it sends😊
Love bass playing on this great song. We PRs admire musicians from USA so much, very well educated and skillful
I LOVE this song even though I wasn't born in the 70s. It's a good jam to listen to while cleaning up.... 💕
This song speaks an important message while being such a banger.
the world needs to hear this song more than ever.. right now.
Omg I was just thinking that as I found your comment
Obviously BLM have never heard of this Band!
Twitter be like “OK BUT WHERES THE VEGANS?”
This song is almost 50 years old, and it gets better every time I hear it.
This message is what we need now more than ever in 2021.
This video and song should be played in all languages everywhere.
Just watched Lethal Weapon and this song plays during the credits. Had to listen to it again.
The 70's is the greatest decade of all time.
well, vietnam war aside, yeah.
Gas prices beg to differ
@@WTMNNJR
I do not have to squabble and whine over gas or food prices cos I can afford them. I went to school, learned a trade and strived for the money I made. Retired at 46. If you're struggling over prices, its your own fault.
Best decade for music! The sound is unbeatable.
My Mom bought this album when I was a kid. I'm glad she did. Beauty to my Black & Brown Cali bros&sisters
This is something I’d listen to 24/7
This is the Great America right here
BB Dickerson's face at 2:20 always cracks me up
We need this song more than ever......
