Can't begin to tell you how huge Harry was. He was friends with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, pretty much everyone who was anyone at the time. Many of them preferred to stay in his flat (apartment) when in London instead of hotels since it was lesser known to the media and far more private. This song was incredibly popular, but don't twist your noodle. It's not intended to be taken seriously. Just a little nonsense song to brighten people's day
Hey, that was some seriously good dancing. You would have been right at home in the 60's with those moves. Just a fun song, to this day. FANTASTIC reaction, TY!
They were good friends and various members of The Beatles were known to stay overnight in his flat, get high and jam together into the wee hours. What I would give to hear recordings of those sessions. Them, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, you name it. They pretty much all stayed with him at one time or another. If anyone could find even a single that could be authenticated, it would be worth a fortune
People always debate what was the best decade for music. The 1970s win hands down because there were multitudes of different types of music within its 10 years. Rock, Pop, Disco, Talking, Classical, Dance, Reggae, Top 40, FM Album Rock and so many more.
For something a little different from Mr. Harry Nilsson, try "Jump Into The Fire", from the same album, "Nilsson Schmilsson". The song has a massive Bass solo provided by Herbie Flowers.
Loved your reaction to this song. It makes me want to dance, too. In 1971 when this song was released it was on the radio constantly and was so much fun to sing and dance to. Today it eould be called a smash hit and it deserved to be. So much fun and silliness in under three minutes. Thank you for sharing this song and your reaction with us. It is such a vibe and you did it justice. Peace.
Took me awhile to get used to this cool song back in 71. I dig it more now. Yes, a fun song, there were quite a few fun songs back then. Ur a good dancer, dig seeing it. No doubt you could of been a gogo dancer back in the late 60s.
LMBO. Angela you just totally made my week. Watching you trying to "get" this song before you realized it was just about the groove was great. We all did the same thing back then. Huh?
I think I remember a TV commercial about 7UP or Coca Cola that kinda used this song as a model. Now that I think of it, it was 7UP. The deep voiced Jamaican would talk about the "un cola nut". then laugh like a Bond villain. Here it is, I found it. th-cam.com/video/AXmc7DG4uu8/w-d-xo.html
Coca-Cola also did an ad using this song. The verse was "Put the lime in the Coke, you nut!" Right here: th-cam.com/video/cB4V860YojE/w-d-xo.html Diet Coke with lime is the only Diet cola I can stand (except for Diet Dr. Pepper). The diet Coke with lime tastes like it has a touch of rum in it. You don't even need to add rum.
Sweet! I was five years old when this song dropped. It was sufficiently novel to attract the attention of children. Also check out Manu Dibango's "Coconut". It's a different song from that same era with a groovy instrumental ala Santana but with flutes in place of guitar solos.
Loved this song since very first time I heard it in early 70s at about 4 years old & sugar if I were there with you I would want to have a little dance with you to this very crazy very fun song.
Such a great song! I've been listening and dancing to it since the early 70s. So infectious!! It's pure genius. And it's pronounced "... you drink 'em bode up". I think Nilsson is going for a Jamaican accent.
I had so much fun watching your movements. I have listened to this on a Nilson album that I own a good number of times but not really understood it either.
I liked as the song progressed (though the lyrics stayed pretty much the same), you got into it more and more. It's like the movie, "Airplane." You just need to throw away logic and have some fun! 🎶💙
there is a serious side to Harry Nilsson, but if you want to stay awhile on the silly side, try "Joy," "The Most Beautiful World in the World" or if you are brave...."You're Breaking My Heart."
Nilsson always seemed to me to go for a bare emotion. His silly songs were a party and his sad songs were almost suicidal. I was a fan. His "Me and My Arrow" and "Take 54" were fun. You seemed to really get into this one. Good song, good reaction.
A great tune, but there are many superior in my opinion. Maybe have a listen to "One", "Bath", "Maybe", "I'll Take a Tango", "I'll Be Home", "Something True" or "Nobody Cares About the Railroads Anymore". And there are many more.
My favorite by him is Without You which is the best version! This one is annoying, and feels very condasending! I'd like to suggest the artist Michael Johnson singing Almost Like Being In Love & Bluer Than Blue! I don't know of any other hits he may have! This one made me want to cringe! Later!
Some songs really do not have a meeting. They’re purely for entertainment and not for conveying messages or deep philosophy. Some songs are purely to make you happy even if it’s silly and nonsensical. Since music does not follow the rules of grammar, it doesn’t have to make sense. Words can be purposely mispronounced or syllables added or subtracted. Who’s this song that doesn’t make sense : one eyed one horn flying purple people either. Itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polkadot bikini Monster mash These are just a few silly novelty nonsense songs.
Harry Nilsson was such a unique talent...with a great sense of humor. After 50years, almost everyone who heard it smiled when they heard "Coconut".
This was a Jam back in the day. this is FAMOUS song
He sang all the parts and played all the instruments. One of the best voices in music history.
Can't begin to tell you how huge Harry was. He was friends with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, pretty much everyone who was anyone at the time.

Believe Harry & John Lennon got kicked outta the Troubadour for heckling The Smothers Brothers.😁
What is hilarious is I remember the song from a sketch on The Muppet Show.
"Why do these Old Guys have such whacked senses of humor?"
"Well, Sweetie, when I was a kid ..."
this was such a huge hit back then!
I'm here for the dancing.
This is my ring/text tone for my medication reminder alarms!
Very popular back then. Had to smile. Haven't heard it since then.
This song started more Bar Conga Lines than you could ever dream
Lol my dad had this on 8-track. We loved listening to this!
Having been living under a rock for the past 59 years I just heard this song for the first time about ten years ago, I like it!
Hey, that was some seriously good dancing. You would have been right at home in the 60's with those moves. Just a fun song, to this day. FANTASTIC reaction, TY!
The song is great, the dancing even better!! Thanks, Ang!!!!
This artist had a HUGE influence on the Beatles
They were good friends and various members of The Beatles were known to stay overnight in his flat, get high and jam together into the wee hours. What I would give to hear recordings of those sessions. Them, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, you name it. They pretty much all stayed with him at one time or another.

Seriously, agreed, your dancing is fire.

Check out "Without You" and "Everybody's Talking." It's from the movie Midnight Cowboy. Harry was such a popular singer back then.
This is what You Get when 60's Pop Stars 🤩 get Together and Drop ACID!
1971 lol
Thank you for taking me back to high school in the best way. Felt young there for a couple of minutes. ❤😁
Crazy and funny song. Love it
Totally goofy, totally hypnotic
For something a little different from Mr. Harry Nilsson, try "Jump Into The Fire", from the same album, "Nilsson Schmilsson". The song has a massive Bass solo provided by Herbie Flowers.
I haven’t heard this song in so long. I have forgotten about it. Every now and then someone comes up with a novelty song.
Just a fun song that makes you want to move like that. Loved this when I was 10 and still today. Thanks!
You got the spirit of the song PERFECTLY!!👍😁
A HUGE hit back in the day!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a universal truth girl! 😹 Silly and makes you need to dance!!
😽💋🎶

This was fun!! Haven’t heard this in decades!! Silly but it got you dancing!! 😂
Novelty song. Harry was a brilliant comic. Became best friends with John Lennon, who produced his Pussy Cats classic album.
Hilarious fun song. Talented talented guy
I remember loving this song, hadn't heard it for awhile. So fun, thank you!
Harry had a great sense of humor...such a talent. It's all Harry, no one else on the song.
Dam Ang the way u move tells me somethings ,those eyes and unique smile elevates your beauty even more
This song always reminds me of Reservoir Dogs since it is the outro song at the end of the movie.
LMBO. Angela you just totally made my week. Watching you trying to "get" this song before you realized it was just about the groove was great. We all did the same thing back then. Huh?
One of the greatest goofiest songs ever written by the amazing Harry Nilsson. Truly a great vocalist.
I wouldn't have guessed this was Harry Nilsson of 'Everybody's Talkin' fame, but very original and fun-Colin Ward
I AM LOVEIN THIS YOU TOO WOO WOO
Love you dancing 😂 Love your reactions. Happy memories 😊
This was a good song when I was young everyone loved it🥰🥰
This was big on the TV show "Bones."
70’s we’re just so damn fun ! I want to go back please ❤️
after that you must 'jump into the fire' long version with the amazing drum solo
This is the first time I ever heard the entire song.
I think I remember a TV commercial about 7UP or Coca Cola that kinda used this song as a model. Now that I think of it, it was 7UP. The deep voiced Jamaican would talk about the "un cola nut". then laugh like a Bond villain. Here it is, I found it. th-cam.com/video/AXmc7DG4uu8/w-d-xo.html

Diet Coke with lime is the only Diet cola I can stand (except for Diet Dr. Pepper). The diet Coke with lime tastes like it has a touch of rum in it. You don't even need to add rum.
He was a genius!

As a young teenager I called KJR to request this song. I swear I could hear the DJ's eyes roll.
11 KING Me
Did you talk to the Lock Jock, Gary Lockwood?
@@christhompson2006 YRS ON MANY STANS/ SEATTLE
This brings back the Bones episode of Sweets exit.
Great reaction! Its just a fun tune to sing along and dance to.
Yes!
Such a great song! I've been listening and dancing to it since the early 70s. So infectious!! It's pure genius.
And it's pronounced "... you drink 'em bode up". I think Nilsson is going for a Jamaican accent.
I remember this one!
It's not stupid... its FUN!! 😅
Great dancing !
I had so much fun watching your movements. I have listened to this on a Nilson album that I own a good number of times but not really understood it either.
Best dance to this song I ever saw.
Silly , but it got you dancing 😉
Got to try Jump into Fire and Without You
magnificent.
I liked as the song progressed (though the lyrics stayed pretty much the same), you got into it more and more. It's like the movie, "Airplane." You just need to throw away logic and have some fun! 🎶💙
Spaceman and Jump into the fire, you're welcome 😊
Just a fun song from John Lennon’s drinking buddy and boy did they ever kicked out of many clubs I find it hilarious
Classic ❤️🙏🏻🍋🟩🥥
Nobody knows what this song is about. It's just catchy and fun!
there is a serious side to Harry Nilsson, but if you want to stay awhile on the silly side, try "Joy," "The Most Beautiful World in the World" or if you are brave...."You're Breaking My Heart."
Angela, you've done it again... Great choice...
Yup, it's weird but you are groovin. That's the important part.
Nilsson always seemed to me to go for a bare emotion. His silly songs were a party and his sad songs were almost suicidal. I was a fan. His "Me and My Arrow" and "Take 54" were fun. You seemed to really get into this one. Good song, good reaction.
Doctor!
If Nilsson amuses you lend an ear to another of his songs titled The Land of point
When the Muppets cover your song!
I guess this gets a 5 on the boogie-meter.😄
1st Coconut!
A great tune, but there are many superior in my opinion. Maybe have a listen to "One", "Bath", "Maybe", "I'll Take a Tango", "I'll Be Home", "Something True" or "Nobody Cares About the Railroads Anymore". And there are many more.
Should not be a hit, but this song made $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
John Lennon's favorite musical artist ... eventually became great friends.
Not drank "them both" up, it's sung drank "em bole" up. Get with the groove.
Reservoir Dogs
Silly as all get out but a good sound and lots of fun 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My favorite by him is Without You which is the best version! This one is annoying, and feels very condasending!
I'd like to suggest the artist Michael Johnson singing Almost Like Being In Love & Bluer Than Blue! I don't know of any other hits he may have!
This one made me want to cringe! Later!
