Completely underrated. I'm glad my parents had good taste, otherwise I wouldn't know about bands like this or Electric Light Orchestra that aren't as well known for whatever reason but have some of the best music you can find.
There's no saxophone (John Helliwell did the clarinet). Mind you, this misinformation didn't stop you getting 517 upvotes! And you missed the trombone (Slyde Hyde did both trombone and tuba) - very, very few pop songs with trombone on. Try Claude someone's "Exil" th-cam.com/video/KfY0RNXQRkg/w-d-xo.html
I did leave England and take a jumbo across the water at 6yrs old and lived in America. I remember staying at my Nan's in 1980 and this song was all over the media, literally felt like somebody wrote a song about my life
Oooh, did you have kippers for breakfast? I'm sure you had 'em in Texas, 'cause everyone's a millionaire! I just hope you don't hold a grudge against me for looking at your girlfriend all the time. Lord knows it wasn't easy, considering you only had the one, and she wasn't much of a girlfriend to begin with.
My father used to play supertramp on our long trips to far away beaches in my childhood . listening to supertramp now brings me so much joy and nostalgia I am in a bliss😢.
I remember when I was living with my sister and still in high school... She had this album in her record collection and I would put it on and play it all day while she was at work... Good times... ☮🔥
My father brought this record to me after his three-days journey in England in 1981 and I remember I loved it so much. However at that time, I didn't like Supertramp at all. A few years earlier, I had done so many nightmares due to their progressive period.
Elizabeth Mead I was 21 years old when this album came out and I had my whole life in front of me. And now I'm 63 and with my health the way it is I'm most likely on the short end. But when ever it comes my time to check out , all I can say is It's Been A Helluva Ride. I've had some really cool jobs and some that I could not wait to quit them.
My older brother, just two years, he and his "high class" friends with connections introduced me to this marvelous music and still with me even though my brother is gone since 1981.❤️😪🎼🙏🌹
Ángele Dei, qui custos es mei, me tibi commissum pietáte supérna, hodie illúmina, custódi, rege et gubérna. Amen. I have lost my mother and older sister in the last two years. But i have special songs when they are still with me. God bless and may you ever feel your brother when you listen to this song.
I remember listening to this song when it first came out in 1980 (I was 19 years old at that time and in college). Was played on cassette tape (which was 'advanced technology' at that time) on a single-speaker cassette player with a music output of maybe 5 watts 🙂
16 too, come right from Gym class heroes version, supertramp was one of the best bands, I overall seem to find old music, think its new until i see it on youtube and its like 20 years😂
In 1982 my parents told us we were moving from uk to America and we were singing this song and i was so excited . I was drawing pictures of me at the statue of liberty...but they meant Canada and I have never forgiven them.
One of the best recordings ever. The clarity is awesome. Ive been a tramp fan since the 70's. When i decided to upgrade my speakers, i took this cd with me. My venturis love this album
Yes, a classic album for soundckecks (as far as we talk about rock-music), but I prefered Child of Vision and Logical Song. And so were also Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms, Andreas Vollenweider's Behind the Gardens Emerson, Lake & Powell And for check of a clean deep bass I took 'Yet another movie' from Pink Floyd's album A momentary lap of reason
I’m only 17 but I love the classics. Grandpa passed away recently and digging through his old record collection of a couple thousand I found some great classics. 3 unwrapped copies of some bryan adams, some Creedence Clearwater Revival, AC/DC, Charlie Daniel’s band, Richie Valens, the skyliners, the Beatles and other classics from so many different time periods But It was so cool to find this album on vinyl. Gotta love these old tunes
Been blowing up on tiktok recently the "take a look at my girlfriend part" if only people still appreciated entire albums, and not just one snippet of one song
@@gabrielleevee I guess I just don't understand why musicians can lift entire lines, along with background music, and make some alterations while keeping 90% of the original, and make millions. It's still weird to me
Supertramp is one of those bands the you never hear about, you sometimes hear it on the radio but you usually don't think much of it. But once you listen to songs like this, you'll understand how truly amazing these songs have. My Dad showed me this band and I loved it instantly, it was the song "School", I'm looking deeper and deeper at this band and the whole world needs to know this band, you can connect to these songs, you can sing to these songs, you can dance to these songs, you will never forget these songs...
It's an amazing band that when you know about it, you really wonder how their music could have fallen out of fashion so much (like many other older stuff) that people nowadays may not know about it at all. So it's funny seeing people saying it's a hidden treasure when this album sold 20 millions copies and was probably huge everywhere. Fortunately, we have so many ways to access all this old but gold music in today's age
Man this bring back memories. I was 15 and playing in a small local band. We tried to replicated this music but it was a no go. Complicated music to play. So we just smoked weed, drank a few beer and listened to this incredible music.
Not a cover, rather Cupid’s Chokehold sampled this song (took a portion of it and reused it in a unique way). It would have been a cover if it had just been them singing the same song, but they mainly just reuse a section of the song. Hope this doesn’t sound uptight or anything, just wanted to share the difference 😅
@@nandi9902 Fair enough. Although I'd counter that by saying it was more of a remake than a sample, since they kept some of the lyrics. As opposed to Madonna's "Hung Up" which contained a sample of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)".
MUSIC IS RECYCLED. I heard this at work and had to look it up cause i thought the same thing. This is a Very Close Cover/Sample they used a lot of this song to their liking. Gym class heroes knew what they were doing.
This was some of the very first music I ever listened to back in the early 90’s. I remember being a toddler playing with my dads stereo going thru all his cassette tapes. I would play this along with The Doors, Led Zeppelin, & many others.. I’m very thankful to my dad for having great taste in music & introducing me to this awesome music while he was at work lol.. this music is forever timeless
1 of the greatest hits ever. My son was a kid who joined band small town Barnsdall school he chose this song & won 🎉🎉 nationals with this very song. #1 national got a letter from London Phil harmonics no joke 😅 saying that they wld love 2 jam with him sometime... it still hangs in what used 2 b band room, @ Barnsdall high School 🎉😅u go son u go I'm so happy 😁 I taught my kids 2 enjoy the greatest hits ever...... 😊
The 80's gave us some good headphones music. Thank's Supertramp. Your music is a part of my youth. You gave me faith in the idea that everything will all be allright. Well, so far anyhow. Peace on Earth, to you fellow humans.
@@darkrider189 i was born in the wrong generation, instead of having all of the generations music unlimited for free i'd rather pay for it all and wait for it all to come out
A wonderful song writer, and the group filled in to add to the composition with EVEN MORE depth and beauty. OUTSTANDING. They made beautiful music TOGETHER.
This cut is simply brilliant. It is also very Jewish. The Clarinet and Tuba are telltale markers of Klezmer music. Plus the “trilling” by Hodgson and Davies in the Refrain, a technique in Jewish traditional music known as the “Nigoun.”
Absolutely A Masterpiece, a conglomeration of the finest musical instruments, pieced together an orgasmic hearing experience, topped with delicious vocals harmonizing like the sounds of heaven, soft enough for the tenderhearted but heavy enough for the hard rockers! Such emotional power touches deep into the listeners soul, nobody tops this band!
Had this song playing in the car while being driven through Colorado Springs on the way to Denver from Santa Fe, New Mexico. I'll never forget it. What a great roadtrip song.
Just realized why I love this song...watch Heaven Can Wait with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie...also a great supporting cast including Dyan Cannon, Charles Grodin...the always great Buck Henry...also also James Mason...and Jack Warden. Written by Warren and Elaine May...great movie. Soundtrack sounds very similar...especially that horn. Movie was released a year before...coincidence? Movie music was Dave Grusin...worked with Sydney Pollack a lot...which ain't a bad gig. Over a 15-year period from 1979-1994, Grusin won an Academy Award, and received seven more nominations. He has been nominated for 38 Grammy Awards and won 10. He got the Oscar for The Milagro Beanfield War in 89. Nomination, Music (Original Score): Heaven Can Wait (1979), The Champ (1980), On Golden Pond (1982), The Fabulous Baker Boys (1990), Havana (1991), The Firm (1994) Damn...I can see why the boys kind of copied his style.
I love This song !! I love This Álbum.This Remind me the Best time of my life!!! I listen for the First time in Japan...during a travell with my parentes when .I was only 21 years old...Now I am 66.....and. still have the disco and Best Memories for ever 💕💕💕
Like a lot of great songs there is more to this than meets the eye. Beneath the jaunty orchestral score is the tale of a man who lusts for a glamorous life in America, before finally coming to look again at what he has at home and coming to value it more than he did. It is about growing up. Have you done that yet?
I was 11 when this came out. At that time I was on a quest to spend every dollar I earned on every single Moody Blues album made up to that point. This album was always staring at me in the record store taunting me.
11 meditating, dreaming on the Moody Blues? I bet you're an alright soul. Supertramp was cool but lost their morals when they had too many breakfasts in America. Ha!
My kids were weened on this music and my daughter took me to see Roger Hodgson in Liverpool...he was brilliant and his music doesn't date....wonderful!
[Verse 1] Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot Take a jumbo across the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do [Verse 2] Could we have kippers for breakfast Mummy dear, Mummy dear? They gotta have 'em in Texas 'Cause everyone's a millionaire I'm a winner, I'm a sinner Do you want my autograph? I'm a loser, what a joker I'm playing my jokes upon you While there's nothing better to do, hey [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Don't you look at my girlfriend (Girlfriend) She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend (Girlfriend) I never seem to get a lot (What she's got? Not a lot) Take a jumbo across the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do, hey Ba da da dum Ba da da dum Ba da da da dum [Instrumental]
At first, I thought this was just a fazed out painting of NY... but LOVE that the longer you look, the more you see of how its breakfast products.. Total genius band
Eh lepa prelepa srećna vremena srećni ljudi srećan i bezbrižan život Nikad više nažalost Al sve što je lepo kratko traje Biće valjda ponovo u nekom drugom životu Sva sreća i ljubav za sve dobre ljude ovoga sveta
@@EllaJay Hmm, seems like a chorus to me. Who cares? Duh. But please, explain what a chorus is, and how this song doesn't have one. The repetitive part between the verses?
Lo llevo grabado en mi corazón... Hoy se los hago escuchar a mis hijos,tengo 48 años. Esto es la vida en la mejor música. Te pasea por todos tiempos. ❤
I was in Mexico City from a far poor village and a guy I work with had this album. I was 16 and dream to go to USA I m here for 34 years already it’s been a dream and still are
Sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories. I remember my grandmother always had her camera with her now I really know why. Supertramp is timeless with the great Roger Hodgson.
On a friend phone but I got to say this new era I loved Kansas City Missouri alit too! And mom, I love you alit too. Thanks dad and I loved meeting John in California I just met him by accident he's a great person who makes me smile. Thanks God
For some reason I thought this was a Streetheart song, I binged all their albums and still couldn't find this. The voice and music style is SO similar to Supertramp's, so I recorded it on the radio first chance I got and put it through a music identifier, and here I am now. It's Supertramp! I love how this song transitions between moods, sounding kinda angry, then getting nostalgic, then back again and so on. I love it when a song's instrumentation matches the lyrics. Like, that drop right when he says "Hoping it's going to come true" is perfect, the song becomes all dreamy right when the lyrics do the same. It kicks ass.
Yeah I almost forgot about that too. It is strange we can put aside such greatness for years. But on the flip side, when you hear it again it sure all does come back.
I KNEW I wasn't crazy. I SWORE I knew this song before Gym Class Heroes!!! I used to listen to ALL the time as a kid! I just couldn't place it and my kids have been really into that song. Now they can hear the original.
Hola con estás canciones empecé mi viaje hacia la libertad atrávez de la soledad la meditación y la felicidad . Hace ya más de 40 años . Y sigo viajando por el momento sin querer detenerme jamás hasta llegar a mi última morada . Aún me faltan otros 25 años más de descubrimientos y aprendizajes de pachamama. Still soon !!!
My dad back in 79 used to be 13.. This was his first ever record bought; he stealed at his father something like 20.000 lire the value of italy at that time (like 10€ nowadays) for buy this record. Well, he (my father) have seen "all the planets of this universe" after my grandfather known that, but it was absolutely worth it!
They should have never stopped making music! They robbed us of a fantastic band when they stopped putting out songs. One of the best old bands ever! They need to start up again!
Simply one of the greatest albums ever recorded. From the opening track to the last there is not a throwaway song on this entire album
Completely underrated. I'm glad my parents had good taste, otherwise I wouldn't know about bands like this or Electric Light Orchestra that aren't as well known for whatever reason but have some of the best music you can find.
I love this album...check out the possible connection to the 9/11 attacks...im sure it's just coincidence but makes for a good campfire story....

Never heard the album, will download it tomorrow, thanks for the heads up.
How often do you get to hear a saxophone and tuba in the same song these days...Love this! Definitely a hidden treasure for sure!
And clarinet!
Its not even hidden this album sold millions of copies

You didn’t seem to get a lot from your girlfriend at age 6? Shoot at 6 that’s when you are at the height of player status! 😂😂🥂🍾

listening to supertramp now brings me so much joy and nostalgia I am in a bliss😢.
When y'all were driving back home, did he play "Long Way Home"? 👀
It happens the same to me with Strauss and ABBA 👍
Just realized this song has no chorus, just verses. Still sounds awesome after all these years.
I remember when I was living with my sister and still in high school... She had this album in her record collection and I would put it on and play it all day while she was at work... Good times... ☮🔥

Oooo My God,you are right.
The album cover design is brilliant
9-11
I just knew someone would comment about that XD
When I bought the CD back when I was younger, I didn't pay attention to the cover, nor did I understand the reference. Years later, I got it.
From the vantage point, the pilot is in the process of banking toward New York (with the Twin Towers clearly in view of starboard).
Your Bloody Well Right.

I remember listening to this song when it first came out in 1980 (I was 19 years old at that time and in college).
Was played on cassette tape (which was 'advanced technology' at that time) on a single-speaker cassette player with a music output of maybe 5 watts 🙂

Over a 15-year period from 1979-1994, Grusin won an Academy Award, and received seven more nominations. He has been nominated for 38 Grammy Awards and won 10.
He got the Oscar for The Milagro Beanfield War in 89.
Nomination, Music (Original Score): Heaven Can Wait (1979), The Champ (1980), On Golden Pond (1982), The Fabulous Baker Boys (1990), Havana (1991), The Firm (1994)
Damn...I can see why the boys kind of copied his style.
Nobody sounded like them. So unique and so creative. Real artists.
I love This song !! I love This Álbum.This Remind me the Best time of my life!!! I listen for the First time in Japan...during a travell with my parentes when .I was only 21 years old...Now I am 66.....and. still have the disco and Best Memories for ever 💕💕💕
Every person needs to have this album in their collection or it's incomplete.

Like a lot of great songs there is more to this than meets the eye. Beneath the jaunty orchestral score is the tale of a man who lusts for a glamorous life in America, before finally coming to look again at what he has at home and coming to value it more than he did. It is about growing up. Have you done that yet?
I was 11 when this came out. At that time I was on a quest to spend every dollar I earned on every single Moody Blues album made up to that point. This album was always staring at me in the record store taunting me.
11 meditating, dreaming on the Moody Blues? I bet you're an alright soul. Supertramp was cool but lost their morals when they had too many breakfasts in America. Ha!
Bought this 8 track since 1979 and still have it. Have listened to it over 10000 times, I am sure.
Can’t believe the 8-track survived that many plays - nothing wrong with analog !
My kids were weened on this music and my daughter took me to see Roger Hodgson in Liverpool...he was brilliant and his music doesn't date....wonderful!
The first record I bought was a Supertramp album when I worked in New York in 1979. Oalaah!🥰
小学生の頃、おこずかいを貯めてレコード店でシングルEP盤を買ったのを思い出します、今から４５年くらい前ですかね。
Musical history and folklore will be kind to Supertramp...
[Verse 1]
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
[Verse 2]
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear?
They gotta have 'em in Texas
'Cause everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph?
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do, hey
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Don't you look at my girlfriend (Girlfriend)
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend (Girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot (What she's got? Not a lot)
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do, hey
Ba da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba da da da dum
[Instrumental]

@@captainchristian2814 ok yank
@@captainchristian2814 lol no, they’re a British band. Mummies all the way.
Thanks so much posting for these, was just listening and being like ‘take a WHAT across the water???’ 😆
@@DivaD-nk2bj you are very welcome 🙂🙂
Eine der besten Bands überhaupt.🇩🇪
0:46 the way he says “gotta have em in texas” is an instant eargasm
I went through a few cassettes of this album. Glad all their songs are on TH-cam!
I honestly didn't realize this was an old song! 😳 ❤️
Cada dia mais sinto que meu coração está sempre mais apaixonado por ritmos de músicas internacionais maiorias
At first, I thought this was just a fazed out painting of NY... but LOVE that the longer you look, the more you see of how its breakfast products.. Total genius band

@@radadadadee Yeah, its an absolute Brilliant art work
@@radadadadee great eye, didn't even notice it
Eh lepa prelepa srećna vremena srećni ljudi srećan i bezbrižan život
Nikad više nažalost
Al sve što je lepo kratko traje
Biće valjda ponovo u nekom drugom životu
Sva sreća i ljubav za sve dobre ljude ovoga sveta
My favorite harmony at the end of the chorus. So blissful.
Where are the choruses? Sounds like 3 verses and an instrumental break.
So what?@@EllaJay
@@Frejborg You mentioned "end of the chorus" in your original post so I pointed out there isn't a chorus duh.
@@EllaJay Hmm, seems like a chorus to me. Who cares? Duh.
But please, explain what a chorus is, and how this song doesn't have one. The repetitive part between the verses?
@@EllaJayyou have a poor understanding of what a chorus is there is 1000% a chorus
What brilliance..musically and lyrically..genius!!!
Bought this album for my first love, which always brings back such awesome times!Wonder if he remembers!!
Me too! She didn't like it. We didn't last.
@@DeeBee36 she didn't have very good taste away!
De mais musica linda de mais e ainda mais apaixonante está música de mais revela sonhos❤❤❤
Lo llevo grabado en mi corazón... Hoy se los hago escuchar a mis hijos,tengo 48 años. Esto es la vida en la mejor música. Te pasea por todos tiempos. ❤
I heard that song for the first time, 44 years ago and I still remember my amazment as if it had just happened yesterday.
Supertramp, one of the greatest bands in music history. I love it. And this is my favorite song.
My sister. Four yrs older than ....turned me on to the best music. I am 52. Early 80s late 70s. The best musical era , mu opinion in last 75 yrs
This music got me threw many days on the assembly line .great music .fun when you can get everyone to sing this song .thanks for your music.....
Uwielbiam wstęp utworu i jego tonację. Jescze ta okładka albumu... Świetnie 👌👌👌
Man, I’ve forgotten how much I love this song!
Меня тоже с этой прекрасной работой альбома ,, завтрак в Америке ‘’ познакомил старший брат ! Спасибо
I was in Mexico City from a far poor village and a guy I work with had this album. I was 16 and dream to go to USA I m here for 34 years already it’s been a dream and still are
You have the fortune by your side. That decision change your life 360° definitely. You have soo much Lucky.
The album that is an indication that the 1980’s are coming rapidly!!!
Sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories. I remember my grandmother always had her camera with her now I really know why. Supertramp is timeless with the great Roger Hodgson.
I love this song from italy 🇮🇹
On a friend phone but I got to say this new era I loved Kansas City Missouri alit too! And mom, I love you alit too. Thanks dad and I loved meeting John in California I just met him by accident he's a great person who makes me smile. Thanks God
I remember when I was a kid and my dad bought this CD and me and my brother used to be listening, good times
For some reason I thought this was a Streetheart song, I binged all their albums and still couldn't find this. The voice and music style is SO similar to Supertramp's, so I recorded it on the radio first chance I got and put it through a music identifier, and here I am now. It's Supertramp!
I love how this song transitions between moods, sounding kinda angry, then getting nostalgic, then back again and so on. I love it when a song's instrumentation matches the lyrics.
Like, that drop right when he says "Hoping it's going to come true" is perfect, the song becomes all dreamy right when the lyrics do the same. It kicks ass.
Man o man!!! Such a killer tune!! I am embarrassed to say I almost forgot about Supertramp!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah I almost forgot about that too. It is strange we can put aside such greatness for years. But on the flip side, when you hear it again it sure all does come back.
Man, I must've listened to this album a hundred times as a kid.
Nostalgia, man.
I KNEW I wasn't crazy. I SWORE I knew this song before Gym Class Heroes!!! I used to listen to ALL the time as a kid! I just couldn't place it and my kids have been really into that song. Now they can hear the original.
Hola con estás canciones empecé mi viaje hacia la libertad atrávez de la soledad la meditación y la felicidad . Hace ya más de 40 años . Y sigo viajando por el momento sin querer detenerme jamás hasta llegar a mi última morada . Aún me faltan otros 25 años más de descubrimientos y aprendizajes de pachamama. Still soon !!!
Had that cassette. Played it atless 3 times a week at work 😂
Primo album LP acquistato; frequentavo la quarta ginnasio, le loro melodie mi aiutarono tantissimo per lo studio del greco e latino ❤
My dad back in 79 used to be 13.. This was his first ever record bought; he stealed at his father something like 20.000 lire the value of italy at that time (like 10€ nowadays) for buy this record. Well, he (my father) have seen "all the planets of this universe" after my grandfather known that, but it was absolutely worth it!
Great sTORY :)
They should have never stopped making music! They robbed us of a fantastic band when they stopped putting out songs. One of the best old bands ever! They need to start up again!
Non ci sono parole!!! The best!!! L' illuminato fabio Petrucci!!!❤❤❤
Canzoni indimenticabili e inossidabili al passare del tempo!! Supertramp band leggendaria!!
I had this album years ago and it's still great!!!
I watched the last Supertramp concert and it makes me cry! The genius!
