There was a time when this song was actually all the rage and not a meme. Stupid rumors about Rod and his personal life led to this song actually starting the loss of his blues cred. Too bad really, this song is a banger and you have to really have confidence to sing this song in those pants.
This song came out at the height of disco in the late 70s, and Rod took a huge hit from his fan base for releasing it, because most rock fans at the time HATED disco. If you compare it to his early 70s material like "Maggie May" and "Every Picture Tells A Story", you'll notice that it sounds almost nothing like those earlier songs. As part of the disco genre, it works, but as far as Rod's career goes, it was a sharp dividing line between his rock roots and the 80s pop which he would dive deep into afterward.
I agree with what you said but I always thought of Rod as a great story teller & in that sense, I didn't find the song as a great departure from what he had done before.
LOVED your reaction to this one. You totally got it!. Been lovin' this song all my life to this point. If you want some more soulful Rod Stewart he had many. This Old Heart Of Mine.. with Ronald Isley from The Isley Brothers.. may interest you. Hot Legs is sexy and energetic. The Motown Song is a happy feel-good song featuring The Temptations..as well. If you can find the Original Video's.. they're very fun to watch
Rod was a master of many genres, if you want another vibe much like this one check out "Passion" it's got a similar groove and came out a year later, it wasn't as big as a hit but it should have been.
So glad you liked the song!! A 13 year old me fell in love with Rod Stewart and this video!! Still a fan! 17 concerts, and tickets to #18!! Check out Stay with Me and Gasoline Alley
Yeah baby ! I fell in love with him to this video at 2 years old . Wish I’d ever seen him in concert tho . Mom wouldn’t let me go to concerts. I had to sneak . By the time I was old enough, I don’t recall seeing his concert tickets for Tennessee where I live . I was born in 77 and I’ve loved Rod Stewart since I remembered hearing music ( very young ) 🤣
One of the songs I love that he does with sting and Bryan Adams is called All for Love. Beautiful song really good. Forever Young's a good one, Young Turks, rhythm of my heart I think it's what it's called. Have I Told You Lately That I Love You is probably my most favorite of his slow songs. Rod Stewart has a very unmistakable voice. That's for sure.
I strongly reccomend you to listen to his early stuff (early-to-mid 70's). This song was good for the era, while beautiful songs like Maggie May and Mandolin Wind are timeless!
Haha ! I dance the same way you do when I hear this song ! Love your reaction! So fun watching you get people enjoying this badass musician . The whole band is awesome 😎
Always a Beatles fan, Wings fan, Van Halen, Floyd, and major Rush fan. So, not my usual music, but Rod Stewart has one of the BEST voices and ATTITUDES in music! He really does. Classic vocalist!
This was such a vibe when it came out. His contribution to the disco era. Unrelated please consider reacting to “December” by Collective Soul. I haven’t seen anyone do that song and it’s a banger from the lyrics, instrumentals and vibe. Would love to see you react to it....
When I was young when this song came out I used to make fun of it. Just because I felt it was so suggestive and I honestly out of shame felt it was too gay....Now that I'm 51 yrs old after all these years I had grown out of that immature stage of my life feel this song has a great beat and I will admit I like this song and other songs that Rod Stewart came out with....
I've got a great one for you (changing gears) Aretha Franklin & George Michael "I knew you were waiting for me" it's so good and they won a grammy for it. (I still have that guaranteed reaction coming :) ) Thanks Scribe!
Awwwww YEA, talking about my generations 1st ummm 'Exploration' music right here LMBO!! Takes me WAY back... This was THE SONG we ALL played back then when we was TRYING SOOOO Hard LMBO to 'Get With Her'. HA PEACE!!
I agree that it's a fun song. I was younger when this came out and it was fun when dancing with some one to this song to look into her eyes and whisper, "What do you think?" LOL
Rod Stewart, Carmine Appice (the legendary drummer) and Duane Hutchins (keyboards) are given credit for writing the song but Rod Stewart settled out of court with a Brazilian artist named Jorge Ben Jor for using the melody in his song "Taj Mahal" and also using the string arrangement from the song "Put Something Down On It" by Bobby Womack. The band donated all royalties from this song to UNICEF. As other people have mentioned, their older fans backlashed against a disco release, with good reason because disco sucks and this guy was known for blues and rock and disco was seen as selling out. That may have been why the band donated the royalties to UNICEF, that's just speculation, but in the 80's when MTV started almost half of their videos were by Rod Stewart. Literally, on day one they had like 37 videos and like 15 were Rod Stewart! Later in the 80's he had huge MTV video hits like Infatuation, Young Turks, People Get Ready, Some Guys Have All The Luck, Tonight I'm Yours, Forever Young, and so many others! Thanks for this reaction Scribe!
Crazy About Her, will have the performer side of you swaying hips. And Born Loose will showcase Rod Stewart at his hot and raunchy best. Get after it, Girl!!!
In case no one here realizes this this is a "disco song" and disco basically was a genre of music that only existed from late 1975 to early 1981 at the very latest.
I remember disappointment when Rod sold out to disco. As a side note. There was a guy that worked at Musicland at the mall that looked like him and did he draw in the chicks as he was a dead ringer.
Yeah I wasn't diggin the disco vibe too much back in those days, but Rod made this tune work so I gave him a pass. The chicks flooded the roller rink, why not? Good Gawd I'm old.
My ultra conservative born again christian dad loved Rod Stewart. And this song was his favorite. Imagine that!😁
Everyone's gotta little kink
it's the repressed unconcious
If I remember right he wrote this song as a charitable step where the proceeds would go to the charity. Buy it did much better than expected.
And tonight's the night was a second? LOL
I know some left wing liberal socialist BLM Antifa lovin' idiots that dig it.
I grew up during the Disco age, this song was the anthem
There was a time when this song was actually all the rage and not a meme. Stupid rumors about Rod and his personal life led to this song actually starting the loss of his blues cred. Too bad really, this song is a banger and you have to really have confidence to sing this song in those pants.
THE SWEET 70s WHEN THERE WAS STILL GREAT MUSIC LIKE THIS ,,, From 1978
Ahh.. I remember roller skating to this at the height of disco.. fun times.
Man, spot on!

As a kid this was the first song I heard by rod so I guess I'm partial to disco Rod, lol.
I agree with what you said but I always thought of Rod as a great story teller & in that sense, I didn't find the song as a great departure from what he had done before.
SC, you'll love his "Young Turks", "Tonight's The Night", "Maggie May" and "Hot Legs"
HOT LEGS!!!
Young Turks is beautiful --
Young hearts, don't let them put you down.
If you like this one check out Rod Stewart "Hot Legs." Rod is capitalizing on the disco craze.
Hot Legs is not disco.
@@bossfan49 you get 10 points. I actually meant "do you think I'm sexy." hold your head up high knowing you were the only one to catch this error :)
@@neillenet291 That's ok- "Do Ya.." has enough disco in it for TWO songs!
I read Rod recorded this song as tongue in cheek. He was surprised that it was taken so seriously. He was surprised it became a hit.
Do Ya Think I'm Sexy is jukebox gold
Got that scowl/eyebrow furrow you only get when you're really into it. 😂
You’re in my Heart by him
This old heart of mine by him.
We were spoiled with awesome rock bands in the 70s and didn't know it at the time
“The Killing of Georgie” must be listened to.....a very different Rod....
Love hearing rod Stewart, remember I first heard this as a kid, was so excited, running around the house dancing like him lol.
Saw him a few times in the 80s one of the best concerts I been too thanks for reacting
May , 1954 here. Me too !
She feels the music as if it's physical. 👏
The Rodster always delivers
Oh, if you are in a 70’s mood, Kiss You all Over by Exile. Fantastic song
LOVED your reaction to this one. You totally got it!.
Been lovin' this song all my life to this point.
If you want some more soulful Rod Stewart he had many.
This Old Heart Of Mine.. with Ronald Isley from The Isley Brothers.. may interest you.
Hot Legs is sexy and energetic.
The Motown Song is a happy feel-good song featuring The Temptations..as well.
If you can find the Original Video's.. they're very fun to watch

The Best reaction *-*
Maggie May (1971) and Stay With Me (1972) are two Rod Stewart classics!
"Those are some tight pants Rod"... your killing me girl.😂😂😂
One of the songs I love that he does with sting and Bryan Adams is called All for Love. Beautiful song really good. Forever Young's a good one, Young Turks, rhythm of my heart I think it's what it's called. Have I Told You Lately That I Love You is probably my most favorite of his slow songs. Rod Stewart has a very unmistakable voice. That's for sure.
Oh the disco days. I was 12 years old but... I remember them well
Hot legs is another great song, and a lot of fun. Love ya and love your channel
All my life I thought he was from Scotland...Turns out he is from London!
I strongly reccomend you to listen to his early stuff (early-to-mid 70's). This song was good for the era, while beautiful songs like Maggie May and Mandolin Wind are timeless!
Saw Rod in concert in Tel Aviv a couple of years ago - he's still moving and shaking it!
Haha ! I dance the same way you do when I hear this song ! Love your reaction! So fun watching you get people enjoying this badass musician . The whole band is awesome 😎
Rod: Handbags And Gladrags, Mandolin Wind, Downtown Train, Sailing and a mass of others :)
Jamaican Phil Chen on the bass!🎶🎸🎷
Always a Beatles fan, Wings fan, Van Halen, Floyd, and major Rush fan. So, not my usual music, but Rod Stewart has one of the BEST voices and ATTITUDES in music! He really does. Classic vocalist!
The girl in the bar is the same woman who plays the teacher in the Hot for Teacher video from Van Halen.
From the days of Disco might, Rod Stewart rocked big!!
I remember being a little kid and my mom wouldn't let me listen to this. That was around the diso era. They also played instruments back then
This was such a vibe when it came out. His contribution to the disco era. Unrelated please consider reacting to “December” by Collective Soul. I haven’t seen anyone do that song and it’s a banger from the lyrics, instrumentals and vibe. Would love to see you react to it....
Rod had some great stuff back in the day . 2 of my favorites You Weat It Well
and True Blue.
This was Rod's disco era. Go back a few years and check him out with his other band 'Faces' (for the good stuff before he got 'poppy' ) .
Rod adapting to the Disco era.
Soooo ready for this!! One of my top favorites!! Let’s get it! 💜✌️✨
Love it! That instrumental after the chorus makes me just wanna spin around lol
Rod was also a soccer player from Scotland...Put it this way...he had no problem with the ladies
He loved Scotland's Soccer Team and played it himself. His Dad was Scottish.
When I was young when this song came out I used to make fun of it. Just because I felt it was so suggestive and I honestly out of shame felt it was too gay....Now that I'm 51 yrs old after all these years I had grown out of that immature stage of my life feel this song has a great beat and I will admit I like this song and other songs that Rod Stewart came out with....
ScribeCash, Rod Stewart is truly amazing .
Reminds me of those 80's one nighters........
@ted ritola Still reminds me just the same......
I've got a great one for you (changing gears) Aretha Franklin & George Michael "I knew you were waiting for me" it's so good and they won a grammy for it. (I still have that guaranteed reaction coming :) ) Thanks Scribe!
The great Carmine Appice on the drums....
This was a staple song they would play at the local roller skate rink back in the day.
i was just thinking that. Axel Roller Rink just outside Chicago in the eighties
This was Rod getting his slice of the disco movement. Hey Scribe you're Groovy too...ha ha it's like you were back there then with us oldies.
Awwwww YEA, talking about my generations 1st ummm 'Exploration' music right here LMBO!!
Takes me WAY back...
This was THE SONG we ALL played back then when we was TRYING SOOOO Hard LMBO to 'Get With Her'. HA
PEACE!!
I agree that it's a fun song. I was younger when this came out and it was fun when dancing with some one to this song to look into her eyes and whisper, "What do you think?" LOL

Hi SC, he makes IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG his own.
In case no one here realizes this this is a "disco song" and disco basically was a genre of music that only existed from late 1975 to early 1981 at the very latest.
disco Rod i remember this i was in grade school when it first came out.
Love the flowers real nice touch
DISCO BLACK LEATHER AND LACE POINTED BOOTS LONG HAIR IT WAS GREAT DANCE MUSIC 🎶 MY FAVORITE ARTIST 🎉
Disco! All the rockers felt like (or their record labels felt like) they had to produce Disco tunes. Hell, even KISS did Disco.
Hot Legs by Rod Stewart. Video and song is a must !
And dance to it we did!
It was disco, it was all about being catchy and fun but having a good beat to dance to.
Rod the legend spans 50 years!
We have a piper down! A piper is down!
Hey girl I love the room. You upgrading now 😁
I adore your channel girl, I'm super late to the party, but you got a new sub in me
I love your decor kinda art deco feel🤔
I remember disappointment when Rod sold out to disco. As a side note. There was a guy that worked at Musicland at the mall that looked like him and did he draw in the chicks as he was a dead ringer.
That's Lillian Muller, the 1976 Playmate of the year.
Could you please react to Rod Stewart song infatuation from 1984?
Rod was the in intervader of shaggy hair 👈 facts
Look at their eyes in the bar ... coke was a-flowin' ...
This is were the Rolling stones got the idea for Miss you.
Rod's Disco Song.
Hella bad great song here great reaction as always
Tysvm for the ❤ I'm a big fan of yours it means so much 2 me thanks again😍
Please review Rod Stewart and Ronald Isley-"This ol Heart of Mine" Great remake of an old tune!
After six months, I'm starting think my request got lost in the shuffle, lol. JK, just means you sold a whooole bunch of albums, which is sweet.
You gotta check out the cover by The Revolting Cocks. Its is great!!!
Rod took that one all the way to the bank.
$cribe- PLEASE be the first to react to his song “Passion.” A top favorite of mine- The instrumentals are great and such a vibe- such a groove! 🤎🤍✌️
The look at 4:10 when you saw Rod's nasty dance. LOL
Yeah I wasn't diggin the disco vibe too much back in those days, but Rod made this tune work so I gave him a pass.
The chicks flooded the roller rink, why not? Good Gawd I'm old.
