1972. Happier days. No mobile phones, no Social media no computers. I actually used to read books, and I had to WAIT for the next edition of ‘The Sweeney’.
Music was my life saver. At 19 years old, three years after my dad died suddenly on Christmas Day, my transistor radio was my best friend. Radio Luxembourg, Radio London, and even Radio 1 (then worth listening to). You can find so many sounds of those times that take you back to those days.
My dad also died same day same year I found him myself never forget you dad 😅😅😅
In
Also no silicon....And No Liposuction the girls were Natural....Happy Days.......👍🇬🇧🤓
When bands could actually play x
What a tune. I wasnt born until 75 but the 70s is a decade of music i love. Shame i wasnt born a decade earlier
Still listening in 2024, brilliant.😊😊😊
WHO LISTEN 2024 😊
You
Me
Me, great tune 😊
Not me😂😂😂
The correct English is " Who is listening in 2024".
Aint it funny how, all these years later, you finally realize just how great songs like this actually were. Oh man, wish I had a time machine
One of the first to use a Moog synth
Make it a twoseater , i'm coming with you.
You are so right about a time machine. I want to go back.......
Was able to see them play a gig in Maidstone 2 years ago, they’ve still got it!
Me too !!!
That keyboard riff has stuck in my head for the past fifty years
Así es...Song Of My Father (71) está bajo el Electro Moog que Moroder empieza a desarrollar a inicios del 70s (Musicland S. / Munich).
En 1975 ahonda más en la experimentación de la Electrónica Post Concreta, Moog, Experimental & Soundtrack con su álbum Electrónico Einzelganger.
Para 1977 (partiendo de la misma Electrónica Post Concreta, Moog, Experimental & Soundtrack) inicia la evolución y desarrollo más grande que la Música Electrónica allá alcanzado...el inicio del EDM Concreto (NRG, Synthpop & Electro / 1ra etapa del EDM 1977-1980).
Bajo la base y matriz del EDM Concreto de los 70s y sus géneros primarios se da el desarrollo del EDM 80s (2da etapa / Ramificación 1981-1989): House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Acid, Electro, Eurobeat...incluida la base electrónica primaria del "ebm" y lo más sofisticado del Electro Industrial.
Esto es lo que nunca pudo lograr el Krautrock & Progressive Rock de Kraftwerk.
My name Is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me...The Sound Of Future.
Still listening and crying 68 I would love to go back for a week 😢😢😢 and die happy - they were happy times love all that music f class 👏❤️💜♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍💚🍀🙏🏻
I'm just so glad that I was around in the 70's enjoying this sort of music. The best music, fashion, hair styles, clothes, tv programmes, cars, football, furniture etc etc. I would give anything to go back to those days!
I'd give best music to the 60s, but best fashion and tv shows will be 70s for sure
Cmon 70s fashion was dreadful
Me too Hippy kisses x
The cars were really awful in the 70s. Unreliable electronics, poor running, and terrible styling.
@@Gos1234567 But at the time we thought it was fantastic. Budgie jackets, massive collars, flares, platform shoes...
This is mine and my mums song from when I was kid, it means so much more to me since she passed away last year, June 2020. Miss you Mum xxxxxxxxxx
🥲
50 years ago in March 1972 me and my friends were dancing to this at my wedding reception in my mum and dad's living room. My sister had just bought it and it got played a lot that night!
I was born March 10th & this was no1 it was a wet Friday as I recall very cold n wet.
Call jesus needs our father in chrixt jesus blood
I remember that weekend being wet but luckily we were married on March 18th the following week and it was a warm sunny day!
Brilliant.
@@philyroberts72 ,🤣
One of the songs they used to blare out at the fairground in the '70's when my Mum used to take us.
Rides were 10 pence in those days.
RIP Mum, and thank you.
The song I associate with fairgrounds is Pinball Wizard by The Who
1976 a ride on the speedway was only 10p wonderful times wonderful memories
Well done mum rip
Yes thanks mam, for standing up against my father with a poker in your hand. To protect me aged 2.
My favourite fairground ride track is Sugar Sugar from Sakkarin!!! 1971!!!❤❤
Excellent song as has been said many times before ,they don't make music like this anymore .GREAT STUFF .ROB.
Bom
The bassist looks so much like the bass player of Genesis, Mike Rutherford.
Ain't that the truth 😂
Back then this country was great,this music was played live, I refuse to accept how our country is now in 2021, oh to go back to when we were free,!!! 🇬🇧
Can't get much worse now!
These were the days when music was made by musicians and not computers,i long to go back ❤️🤩😍🥰
🤗💖🤗 THIS SONG MADE MY DAY 🤗💖🤗 I was 15 when this came out and here I am in 2020 at age 63, considering all the negativity going on, this takes me back to happier days.
Same age JJ and couldn't agree more 👍

Think we all wish we could go back to 70s were the music was great and the memory we have 💖💖💖
It's time for some happy music... here we go!!!
🌞❤🌞
🎉❤🎉🤸🕺💃
I love 70s music, it was the best time of my life.
More please.
My God, this Chart topping Song brings back memories from my Childhood. I Had just started Senior School when this came out. Happy Carefree Days in the 1970s. Love to go back there.
At least you would not need to wash your hands or wear a face mask!!!
Did you have a Raleigh chopper as well
@@PeterSmith-ls7ut No he made his own bike from bits n pieces from the council tip ' just like me Sir.kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 👍
@If It Grooves Funk It Littlelegs Hi , May I ask were Ripple Road is I'm intrigued. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 👍
@@glynnevans1851 Er, excuse me, Sir. I bet he did have a , Raleigh Chopper, most kids did in the 70s. Anyway, I'm sending you the smallest violin ever, I'll play it. 🎻
Listening to this classic song January 2024
Great song reminds me of when I was young if only I could go back to the seventies
Joyce Rowden with you there xx
You can. Go and live in Poland 😀
Naranja Mecanica youll be a grandma, someday, and it will sock you in the mouth.
Filmed on the seafront at Southsea (Portsmouth)
And me great times never forget.
I wish I had a time machine I would go back to the 70s they were better times and the music was great ❤❤❤
I agree!
Jsem z České republiky ,ročník 1955 a tuto píseň jsem jako puberťák poslouchal na Laxíku a veškerou hudbu z 60 a 70 let poslouchám díky You tube a díky písničkám se vracím do mladejch let,které se už nevrátí aspoň mám vzpomínky,které mně nikdo nevezme
This song's lack of pretentiousness and pomp makes it the best of that year and several years.
The sounds of that Moog keyboard. Love. Love. Love. I was born in 1960 so happily grooved away to these fab hits. ❤️❤️❤️
I remember my father coming home with a new record player, our first, and this single. Very happy days.
Seventies music will never die best ever and will become for decades to come
What about the pop music of the 80s? The 60s and 70s are iconic, but pop music reaches an absolute zenith in the 80s that will NEVER be surpassed.
This is the very first single I ever bought. I was 9 yrs old and I still can't fault my choice... well done little me ...🤭💖
Wow what a track still after all these years!
Who else believes this song gets better every time you hear it again?
Greetings from sunny South Africa
This song takes me back to the good old days. I think it came out in 1972.
Greetings from a cold and wet Cape Town South Africa.
I lived with my Nan in 1973 and she always asked me to play this for her and she didn't generally like "pop". RIP Nan.
Who's Nan ?
@@ElvarMasson Nan is a very affectionate way of saying Grandmother.
Klasse, diese Musik muss wieder aufleben 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🤓🤓🤓🤓‼️
I was only young in the 1970s and can't remember this song but found it a couple of weeks ago and play it a lot now a feel good song that instantly lifts the mood love it.
Now THIS should have been the video to promote as oppose to the original TOTP appearance which always insisted on lip syncing and backing music. This video nails it and was well constructed for its time with instruments and vocals well connected. As for the song, a brilliant interpretation of Moroders handiwork and as of the date of this post 23/11/2023 there never was a better one .
Love this music, love the 70s and I was 12 I’m now 60 💙
Southsea seafront.Many happy times there when I was young.
Bought the record when it came out - and still got it after all these years 😀
I must say, when it comes to music, England is number one! YES!!
Moroder baby
Not HOPING or joking pal
We sure were, the absolute best
It's not their tune.
@@tinaowens1225 Quite right Tina ,I luv this track too plus Yellow River ' Christie and The push bike song sung by the Mixtures. How about u,Also a Fab time to grow up then and luvly memories of my parents ..Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝🤗
E por isso que não deixo de assistir o TH-cam.
Quantas músicas e cantores que eu ouvia somente no rádio e nem tinha ideia de quem as cantavam 👍
Obrigado por compartilhar.
Exatamente !
Não tínhamos a menor idéia de como eram os artistas naquele tempo.
Televisão era um artigo de luxo que poucos podiam terem. Era só a música q importava e nada mais.
Fui assistir televisão quando estava com 12 anos.
Foi aí que pude ver a imagem de alguns cantores(as) que ouvia no rádio.
Honestamente falando , eu preferia nunca ter visto a imagem de nenhum deles.
Como pessoas vários daqueles artistas eram muito chatos e arrogantes.
Absolutely fkn brilliant!
A much underrated masterpiece of modern music.
Sorry to say but, this is no longer "modern music"! It is now passed to the category of contemporary pop music or classical rock!!!
@@rmcduarte It was the first British chart hit using a synthesiser so definitely comes under the modern music category.
@@daveglynn748 Agreed, should be given far more respect in the history of electronic music. And written by Giorgio Moroder!
This song came out when I was 18, what a great time! 👍👏😃
Absolutely love this tune , all time classic 😀
That part of Southsea seafront still looks exactly the same.
The inspiration for many football chants over the years.Great song.
More good old days. Takes me back in time.
I can remember back in the good old days when I was the UK technician for moog music I worked on incorporating some design changes on their mini moog, just before they recorded this track. Out of all of the many moog synthesizers I worked on the sound Rod produced on this track is amongst my all-time favorites. I still use Rod's solo synth piece at full volume for my phones ringtone, which embarrasses my wife if I receive a call when we are in a public place although most customers at Tesco seem to appreciate it.
Look up eberhard schoener and moroder , this british take is the cover version
Wow Phil, that must have been an interesting job 👍
Phil..didn't they use the Moog on a Clockwork Orange soundtrack
That's weird - all these years , I thought they used a VCS3 on the Chicory Tip recording. Good ol' Wikipedia confirms it as a Minimoog though.
Shows how wrong you can be for how long !
@@shaunw9270 Yes it was a terrific time in my life, I only moved on from this after Bob Moog sold moog music inc. to the Norlin Music/Henry Selmer orginisation and as I was now involved in the design and development of other projects including the Birotron with Rick Wakeman. This enabled me to move away from London to rainy Cornwall. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birotron?fbclid=IwAR3v6HBB84BynPnYy0Oidpu-9rbdD5eREWjamolDisPY-EOgOlauQ0TK8h0#Production
My daughter was just 3 years old when this great record came out. She loved it and we sang it together on many occasions. Nice memory.
my brother was born in 1972 he is 52 and this is a great song from chicory tip well done
This song always puts a smile on my face - it was number one on the day I was born!
Great tune agreed, but when you listen to the lyrics they're surprisingly profound.
Happy 50th Birthday!
@@JohnAnderson-ms2cn thank you! 😁
Day I was born too 😂
I still love this song. It popped into my head because of something else I heard so I looked it up. 🤩
This is probably one of my favourite songs at the minute.
Still going strong local group from Maidstone had a gig in Ashford ac couple of weeks ago
This song is a masterpiece
I remember hearing this at the time and thinking the sound was amazing, so different than anything else around at the time.
First number one in England to use a synthesizer.
@@martinpearson1249 Fox On The Run was 1975,this was from January 1972.
Synths havent got better either they killed musuc
Is that Keith Emerson?
Hee, he, he.
I'd say yes, number one in UK, but not the first one to feature a moog synthesizer. That account probably may go to George Harrison's "Here comes the sun", included in their album "Abbey Road". I can't find data on where it stood in the charts. Cheers.
Actually, we even heard it in Scotland! Probably in Wales, Even Northern Ireland .
This brings back great memories of my childhood. I was 8 when this came in the UK charts. My older bought this record. If only I could go back in time and go back to when I was 8 again.
I am certainly with you there. I too would like to go back to when I was young in the 70s. Better times than these.
Moja prva pjesma kao klinca od 15 godina....koja vremena
1971 , 1972 e 1973 foram os meus melhores anos dessa década de 70.✌🎵
Pop 70's music . Absolutely unforgettable .
Worked as a waitress in Butler PA during my senior year of high school. They had a jukebox and this song was chosen continuously. Good song, good memories!! Can't imagine life without music!!
👍 🇬🇧. !
Absolutely love his song. Amazing
My song loved it when i was 3 years old .im 55 now still love it to bay ❤❤❤
Meant day
Brilliant,👍 Good old days 🎉🎉
Beutifoul song band & video!!!❤👍
This is a fantastic record i wish it was played on radio love it so much
I remember this from one of those K- Tel Song compilation albums. I was 11 or 12. Yeah. I still have it. My grandchildren love it!
Good Lord! It’s been over forty years since I’ve heard this little gem. So good to hear it again😊
This stuck out at the time from all the other songs in the charts because of the synthesizer. Sounded great coming from my little red record player.
Number 1 on the week I was born, maybe explains my love of anything electronic. 👶👌🤟
Well Rob I can agree with you they don't make great music like this anymore to say they do would be kidding yourself
Oh, my God !!!..... What an amazing music !......
This was music at it's best.
Great song. I was twelve when this hit the charts. At school in music lessons the teacher Mrs P was only interested in Classical music - fair enough but she used to lecture us on how pathetically transient our pop music was and it would never last like Mozart. A classic example of a teacher out of touch and with a closed mind.
I was 13 or 14 listening to a handheld radio under the blankets to radio Caroline in Ireland.
Such memories!
I was born in 1970 and grew up listening to all the great 70s stuff and later as a teenager 80s music. I have never heard this before but I really like it and I love the fact that they were early users of the synthesiser
This is filmed in Southsea Portsmouth my home town
Tal vez...lo importante aquí es que este tama es del legendario padre, pionero y fundador del EDM... Giorgio Moroder.
Linda canción de mi adolescencia tenía 17 años. Recuerdo que ahorre dinero para comprar el disco de acetato de 45 revoluciones....ya llovió 😊❤🇲🇽
Ja das waren noch Zeiten ,darf ich fragen ,wie alt bist du .LG Angelika👱♀️👍
Still playing on the fairground waltzers in the UK to this day ...nuff said
I was on my A3 POM course in Chatham the Thursday night they were told that it was number one in the charts. What a night they played for hours and we had a ball.
James Lochridge hi James, I was 16 and lived in Rainham at the time. Me and my biker mates went to see these at St Margarets hall in Orchard st. The singer wore swimming trunks and a superhero cape. Great days! Shame about now.
Brilliant no budget video.... Moroder played this over the PA before going on stage in London this week...
Wow I remember this song from junior school still sounds as god today as it did back then👍👍👍
Its absolutely Amazing fantastic unbelievable wonderful incredible congratulantions
Que bonita música me recuerda cuando estuve en la secundaria Uuy hace uuu , gracias por la
Música que nos trae recuerdos de juventud
I went wild when I first heard this and still love the sound of that synthesiser even now! Well done to the keyboard player! I was 13 at the time it came out and played it constantly at my party! I wish I knew which beach that was in the clip. Oh! If only I could get into a time machine and watch them perform it in person! Still listen to this and other songs from the 1970s as they were and are so brilliant!
It’s Southsea Beach near Portsmouth.
Southsea Beach. I was a student at Portsmouth Poly and stayed in the same Guest House as they did , but a few months later!
Super super fantastic mega mega hitttttt the Best Gold miusik
Had a sudden urge to listento this.Glad that we can find almost any music nowadays.
Hiding underneath all the knockabout fun and that ear-worm melody are some pretty clever, philosophical lyrics, courtesy of Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte (although, for whatever reason, some of the lyrics sung here aren't the same as the published version). A classic! 💞
A perfect song - I'm a right old codger as this was released in the same year I was born (1972), I didn't know Georgio Moroder wrote it!!
Recuerdo este tema,tenía 8 años,ahora 59, saludos! 🇦🇷🖐️
It remember me to my passed away father in december 2020, good memmory's and great song, many times heared on the local radio and pirat stations from sea...thank you
UK number 1 when I was born - & filmed in Southsea by the looks of it, my home town :)
Por supuesto...es del N°1 Giorgio⚡Moroder
Fez muito sucesso aqui no Brasil no início dos anos 70. Eu tinha 10 anos de idade...
Una canción que innovó tanto para ser un bailable...gustó muchísimo!!! Ese solo con el teclado!!!
Brilliant..Takes me back to my Junior school days...The Synths ..Moogs ..Top stuff

I remember playing this song constantly as a young boy in the late 70s, and still like it now 40 odd years later...
No guitars! A sign of what was what to come. Cool song, exactly right for the time. Thanks Chic Tip!
Bar the bass guitar :)
Es una gran alegria para mi poder decir que, pude disfrutar de música tan buena y mejor desde los años 40 y el final de la buena música empezó a llegar a casi finales de los 90, la de hoy no es música para mi, yo he vivido disfrutando todas esas décadas por que tengo 87 años, como les quedo el ojo mis chamacos? 😃👍🏻 Pónganse las pilas y arreglen su presente y futuro, si se puede, un saludo jóvenes
De acuerdo contigo yo tengo 70
Son of the forest put this song in my head. Now it won't leave.
This song came out 18 years before I was born and I love it
I searched for the title and band name of this song for a long time, which the synthesizer chorus had been trotting in my head since childhood. I only found it on TH-cam there are a few months ago. My regretted father owned this single that I listened to loop on the old turntable while I wasn't even five years old. The legendary Moog is already at work on music composed by Giorgio Moroder, like what, at four, I already had the musical ear ... :))
I'm right up you're armpit.
I had very much the same thing as you. I remember the beat and the music, but not the words and the band. Been bugging me since like the eighties.
Hijo de mi padre, canción que me gusta de este grupo, porque la tocan y cantan con mucha enjundia con mucha energía,y hacen que uno que la escucha se sienta más alegre,y con más energía,además le trae a un recuerdos de esa juventud que ya no tenemos,pero esos recuerdos son vida para nosotros los chavorucos de corazón!!!!
Amen!!
moi française j'adore chirory tip j'ai 70 ans et c ma jeunesse!
Great memories of these beautiful times of music. Best music years ever. I was born in 1962 and very happy that I was able to experience these years when it was noh beautiful music with content. 60s 70s and 80s best years.
70s and 80s were the golden age of crime and terrorism
The composer of this song is also the composer of "Together in Electric Dreams".
Yes, it was Giorgio Moroder
That’s a great fact ; I drove my Mum and Dad mental singing this during a rainy caravan holiday. They nearly killed me
