- GREAT PERFORMANCE OF AN OSMONDS CLASSIC IN HQ.
There's a message floatin' in the air
Crazy horses ridin' everywhere
It's a warning, it's in every tongue
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run
What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Never stop and they never die.
They just keep on puffin' how they multiply.
Crazy horses, will they never halt?
If they keep on movin' then it's all our fault.
What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I
So take a good look around
See what they've done
What they've done, they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done
Crazy horses

They were much much better than most music critics gave them credit for.
That's a joke Right
@@leenunn6446no it's not a joke but to be honest it's faint praise from me because I could never stick them but credit where it's due.They were a slick cheesy act.
They are kinda shit... Except Merrill who is giving it some spuds and smashing that bass!
Literally they could've just looked at Led Zepp and Black Sabbath... Stopped doing the dumb dances and copied that stuff, they clearly have a ton of talent... It's just misdirected and utter bollocks!
This kids were total victims of shitty record labels and management
Critics are idiots. I just listened first time for decades. Nuked I am. The Osmonds are like Sparks of Eternal Life.
The only thing I don’t like about this song is it’s not long enough!! It’s incredible!!
It get the more incredible as time goes by. Music is dead today. What is Left is Music of the Past, when no one was afraid to Be what they needed to Be without Harming others.
A riff like Zep meets Purple, horns like Chicago, and dance moves like the Jackson 5. This performance has it all, I can't think of a single thing wrong with this song. Funny how Kiss came out a year later doing those coordinated bass/guitar moves, huh?
This track was way ahead of its time
SPOT On. So much ahead today's icons are reduced to ashes by the Osmond Fires.
@@mariem6735 i couldn't have put it better myself
This was the day that the Osmonds discovered coffee.
HA!!!
Umm no
Hahaha!
Osmond Sr. "My sons, I bet you can't write a rock song with a positive message."
Merrill Osmond. "Dad, hold my milk."
You mean Hawaiian Punch.
Bahahahaha!! The drink of choice for Mormons is a bowl filled up with 7-UP soda & a gallon of sherbet ice cream. (LDS inside joke)
Lol!
🤣
Positive message? I'd like to know your interpretation of the song.
The Osmond’s were talented and versatile. Awesome rock song from the ‘70’s!
This song is amazing with the wild prog keyboard slides, gritty lead vocals, chunky riffs, a groovy guitar solo and cheesy yet delightful dance moves but the real winner in my books is the bassist with that wild fuckin' scream any 80's glam metal singer would be proud of!
In an alternate, perhaps parallel universe, there is an Osmonds album that is so heavy for the early 70s that Van Halen opens for them in '77. This song smokes!!!
I love the way you think!
Ha ha
There's a Joe Satriani song -war-, listen to riff after the solo in the middle. Sounds familiar. Love this song found it about a month ago, didn't think Osmonds could rock like this.
@@russellnikolaus6811 go listen to “Hold her tight” either live or off the same album. It’s very catchy once you listen to it a bit.
I saw an interview that they said they did an album that was totally rock, but no one radio station would even listen or play it when they saw who it was. Things could have been very different.
The brilliant Osmond brothers wrote and performed this all time classic rock song.. amazing vocals from Jay and Merrill. and outstanding musicianship from Donny Alan and Wayne, True Legends.
Their mistake was, this is the genre they should have started with, instead of the teeny-bopper bubble gum music. If they had originated as a legit rock band, they would have been around a lot longer. Who knows, perhaps even till today. I confess, I was completely blown away by this performance. Didn't think they had it in them, in fact, it's a lot better than a lot of the simple minded junk the music industry is putting out today, and has been for the last 20 years. Hat's off to you, Osmond's. Good job, really good job.
Why would they do this genre as little kids?
If you do some research, you'll see up until a few years ago, they were still playing live shows, the brothers! Only through ill health to the two eldest they had to retire. Merrill and until recently jay both did many shows each year. And Jay has jyst wrote a new musical about their lives, now touring the UK. ☺
Check out The plan concept album... They did a lot of rock, not just crazy horses
The Donny and Marie Show is what sunk them, IMO.
The Osmonds rippin’ one out?! My entire heavy metal existence must now be reevaluated.
😄😄😄
For me the horns disqualify it as heavy metal. It sounds like a hard pop song
You know Jimmy Page picked up a few pointers here...
Found this not long ago... Absolutely love the guitar riff. Was shocked actually.
I’m sad Michael
I was born in 70 and my older brother had this album I remember listening to it in his room and now I think this is one of the most underrated songs ever written it’s hard to believe people thought this was about weed but it wasn’t it was about pollution from vehicles and trucks
This is mind boggling! Nobody in the history of music comes close to reaching so far beyond their own stereotype. Brilliant song! 🤘
You should look into Scott Walker, the change of style that guy went through is just insane.
@@auto2112 Cool, thanks. I'll check him out. ☮️
@@1skoob Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's necessarily good. 😝 But to go from the crooner style that made him big with the ladies to... the avant-garde bizarreness that came later, I can't think of any other artists who changed as much as he did. Kudos to him for doing what he wanted tho!
"Was Dog A Doughnut?" by Cat Stevens.
Jimmy Jo sorry your deaf
The world famous mormon-family from Utah. Wonderful song - UNDERRATED !
World top hit..underrated? Lol
Who said the Osmonds couldn't rock with the big boys of the 70's.
😂😂😂They can't!
@@waynemanoffaith34Ozzie loves this song.....that said it all. Plus a lot of rock bands cover this song.
Donny with his Yamaha Yc30....Merrill with his extraordinary voice.....Wayne incompable riff......BEST SONG EVER !!
From an old 60 years French fan
People can make all the jokes they want about the Osmonds, but when they were on their game, as in this song, they were one of the most underrated bands of their time. Their album The Plan is a concept album masterpiece.
No disrespect to Donny , but he was promoted at the expense of the group sometimes . As a vocal harmony group they where brilliant . Something about siblings with similar singing voices put harmonies way high up there .
🤣
Easily one of their best songs
Agree! ✌️
They never was underrated
The one time The Osmonds rocked like Sabbath and Zeppelin...and proved Mormons could throw down.
Just breaking ground for P!ATD and others to rock on thru
😂 you’re so right mate👍
This was the type of music that they wanted to do but they weren't allowed to apparently. God Bless Wayne as well as Jimmy who both had Strokes. When he had the Brain Cancer, I'm surprised that The Doctor told Wayne to take it easy and not to overexert himself.
George Price not to mention The Killers
Douglas E. Heeren: I'm 61 years old and never heard of gay pop music. What the hell is it??!!
I loved the Osmonds. I just loved Merrill's vocals!
I gotta agree, Merill is hot!
He stood in for jimmy at butlins when jimmy was unwell. He was brilliant hubby wouldn't shut up how much he enjoyed it
Donnie and the brothers are definitely "a little bit rock and roll" here. This song never gets old and you can tell they dug playing it too. So much energy and a great performance (on record of course...clearly a sync track, but who cares?).
I went down the rabbit hole tonight and had no clue that the Osmonds were such a multi-faceted and talented group. They could do barbershop, then heavy metal rock, then soul, the list goes on and on. I think the biggest problem was their clean cut, squeaky image than most of not ALL radio music programmers HATED. After hearing this song I find it unbelievable this wasn’t in heavy rotation on AOR outlets-and why it doesn’t qualify for “classic rock”. Jesus- this is some hard ass shit!! Rock on, Osmonds! I’m sorry it took me/us 50 years to finally discover you! Thank god for TH-cam!
love everything about this, the scream before the chorus, the guitar solo, and the choreography....that is one heavy song....
Now I’m waiting for the mashup we didn’t know we needed: Ozzy’s Crazy Babies + Crazy Horses = Crazy Baby Horses by the Ozosmonds!
@@GL0650 not yet, but it looks like I should be
All this metal and no smokes, caffeine, drugs, and bicycles lol. Shows how talented they are.
What's wrong with bicycles?
@@ledkicker2392 the Mormon Missionaries are always on bikes, nice young guys who are polite.
Incredibly gifted family
So much talent in these guys it’s crazy.
Im 44, just discovering there music right this minute, very entertaining stuff, this is a killer track.
their music
This song is so kick-*ss!! I have this 45, it was so great. It still is!
Heavy Metal from The Osmonds.
Ahead of its time
I guess I like heavy metal now!
Really? Your'e kidding me right?
@@besteverepicmillennial5927 At least hard rock. Their best song ever!!!
So funny
The Osmonds rocked this. Their best song.
Jay and Merrill Osmond are the lead vocals in this song... Hot!!!
I'm a 62 year old man and my first concert concert ever were the Osmonds in Baltimore 71. I had to go because my mother was working and I couldn't stay home alone yet. My sister played their songs so much, I knew them all. It was a great concert even through all the screaming when Donny was doing his solo numbers.
This slaps so freakin’ hard.
From barbershop quartet style, to Motown style, to rock style like this - The Osmonds were very talented.
Barbershopping horses Waaaaaaaaaaa LMFAO!!
Joe Gionti they still are! Donny and Marie shut down their show in 2019 but I think the rest of them still perform, minus Alan 😕, in Branson. And there is a second edition of Osmonds performing. Their children carry on the torch.
They were good enough to perform for 60 years.
I have read a few times that The Osmonds brothers were very big fans of Led Zeppelin (especially) and Deep Purple and wanted to record a whole album of heavy rock, but were told it wasn't viable for them to do so because their own fans wouldn't buy it and nor would the rock crowd, the latter simply because it was The Osmonds. Shame as this and the excellent Hold Her Tight showed they had the riffs and musical and songwriting and musical chops to have done so.
Their father - who was still micro-managing every aspect of their career in 1972, said no to any more 'heavy' songs. Their record company didn't even want to release Crazy Horses period. It went on to be their biggest selling single NOT to have Donny on vocals.
@@nordvegfigg7746 However, their father let them do heavy songs (like “Traffic In My Mind”, for one) on their 1973 album “The Plan”, because it was made specifically to spread the Mormon message. Obviously, he thought more people would be reached if they had some heavier songs on the album.
David Cassidy wanted to do the same but management wouldn't allow it.
@@jhanbury1968 I remember him with Susan Dey (ah, I had such a crush in my youth) presenting Aerosmith with an award and he was so enthusiastic to be doing so and I heard him say something about how he lived heavy metal and hard rock.
Are you nuts? That was like watching a car accident. Horrible, but I couldn't look away.
I always liked how they held back the second chorus for the guitar solo. It works so well in the song's overall construction.
Woah, i love the energy. Refreshing stuff.
Notwithstanding the amazing music the message of the song (vehicle pollution damaging the atmosphere) was way ahead of it's time. A much underrated band still loved in the UK.!
I love it not what I expect from Osmonds
This music was the background music to my youth. My sister and I shared a room and she was older and I followed her lead and loved her music.
One of the greatest 70’s glam-stompers ever recorded... by the Osmonds! They definitely busted out of the teenybopper bubble with this rager.
Too bad their management and the record companies wouldn't let them do harder stuff. The Osmond brothers hated the teenie bopper stuff. They wanted to right more hard rock.
Who can blame them?
@@robertbishop5357 I didn't know this. I just assumed they were guided by their Mormon faith.
The song is great, but the chicken dancing tells me they still had some Tennybop in them.
They should have left the goofy dancing with the bubble gum music. I know I could have taken them more seriously with out it.
@@georgeforeman9666 😁😁😁
OMG - I came to see this after seeing Dave Grohl mention this song in an old interview where he said he thought this may be Motorhead when he first heard it.... I am kind of floored right now.
If you close your eyes and just listen you would never guess its the Osmond’s lol
In 1972-73 all the teenage girls either loved David or Donny!! and I loved David but have seen The Osmonds a few times and all credit to The Osmonds GREAT TALENTED PERFORMERS.
We were able ( and did ) love BOTH! Saw David in concert in 1972 ( the tickets were $6). Then Donny and Jay edged out David in the Spring and Summer of 1972, when I started dragging my poor family ( my late father was a "saint" because he was delegated the task of driving) all over the place while following the Osmonds to their various concert dates. Met them several times and cherish those memories of such a magically fun teenage time.
Who is David?
@@user-bg6rm5ks4f David Cassidy, who had a solo career and was also featured with TV pop group "The Partridge Family". As a teenaged boy at the time I was obligated to not like them, but us boys were well aware of who the girls liked!
Crazy Horses, great song....The Osmonds brothers great singers of the music of the 60s and 70s ... No doubt great compositions like them .
This really shocked me when I was a very young guy.
This is a great Rock song.
They should've done more songs like this.
It is the Xmas School Disco 1972. "Elected", "Virginia Plain", "Gudbye T' Jane" and "Solid Gold Easy Action" have caused bedlam amongst the 12/13-year-olds in the dance hall.
"Crazy Horses" allows the kids to go utterly berserk. Even the teachers are joining in. Many of my old school chums have sadly passed, but they are forever frozen in time in their
loon trousers and stack-heeled shoes stomping around to this fantastic tune.
Wow pretty heavy stuff from the osmonds lol love the dancing!! Hey ATLEAST these GUYS ok brothers were very talented!!
That is The Osmonds Holy cow, no wonder we were so crazy about them !!!!!
I’m gonna tell my kids that these are the Jonas Brothers.
Jonas Bros. WISH they had half of the Osmonds talent.
C'mon, Alex, it's not nice to prank your kids (but if you gotta, ya gotta).🤪
@Henry The Pretzel Preach.
More like the "JONAS FATHERS"....
no they are Queen
Great stuff - I dig it - thank you Osmonds
Well they did warn us about Crazy Horses, but did we listen?
🌳🔥😠🚗
Great song👍
I Remember my older brother playing this on a single. Way back in the 70's.....one of there best songs.
Love The Osmonds back then and more so now . I love them all .Jay sings it in later videos.
song way ahead of its time...all about air pollution....horses, referring to horse power.
cars, buses and so on..Osmonds so great!!! xxxx
Oh my God, I never knew that! I've loved this song since late 1972 (when 15 1/2). Still a great song that's held up really well, BK!
@@bobpierce115
I just love it...has a bold rock vibe!!
Kudos to the Osmonds, Standing O!!!
OMG - CRAZY HORSES! Big fan of the Osmonds back in the 70’s. Saw them live in San Diego & Caesars Palace in Vegas! Sat by the stage in Vegas, ordered my Shirley Temple, and screamed a lot. Got to go backstage and meet them! Got an autograph from Donny and I gave him a kiss on the cheek! 💋 Good Ol Days!
All these years I figured they used a Stratocaster whang bar to get that horse whinny. Growing older I find it was Donny using a pitch bender. These guys were always capable of doing more than their reputations would let them get away with.
I agree with you JR. They're obviously very talented musicans that can do hard-enough rock while still keeping the kick-ass melody in tact without it ever turning into "noise". I like all kinds of music, but it can never be noise (like rap & hip hop--ugghk).
The pitch-blender was to give Donny something to do on the song. His voice was changing (which is why he doesn't sing on the song). Someone came up with the idea of the pitch-blender whinny to start the song off with a bang. And it gave Donny something to do.
Compared to other 1970s keyboard players, Donny Osmond was no Keith Emerson or Rick Wakeman or Jon Lord. But he did get a pretty iconic sound out of that pitch bender.
it's a ribbon controller. just like beach boys good vibrations.
@@kbtube8125 Good Vibrations used a Theremin.
One of the bes heavy metal songs of the 70'
I have been an osmond fan for 50 years.crazy horses is one of my favourite songs that they wrote.they are a lovely family.i love them.my fave is Wayne.
When I was a kid in the 70's, my parents wouldn't let me have certain music....Priest, Sabbath, Zepplin all came much later. The first was Crazy Horses on 8-track, because mom thought the Osmonds were safe. I still listen to this song and "My Drum" now and then. Some things you just never forget.
Wow... Great song even today. Just look at their energy.
Wow! First time I've heard of this song and I'm blown away. Can't believe this song has never been featured in mainstream media and radio. That is the good thing about You Tube is that one may discover gem songs from the past that nobody heard of... or forgotten.
This song is known world wide.
Holy crap. I am in love with them!!!
I'm here because of an interview in 2000 with Dave Grohl. Who strongly recommend them. WOW!!!!!!! Instant fan.
God bless
This song is why I love Rock, the first one I can remember hearing and loving.
Same here ☺🇬🇧
This rocks. Didn't know the Osmond's did it
This diffently a heavy rock song, and that's coming from a Led Zeppelin fan
@@usmc-veteran73-77 with a brass section at the end ! :)
take that metallica :P
@@mcfcguvnors good one. Good music. 🎺🎻🎸🎹
The most super talented bunch of brothers ever!!! They rocked with real talent!!!! They should be in the rock hall of fame for sure as they where ahead of their time !!!!!!
Well that would get you into shape!! Singing that high and playing guitar doing "temptations" style dance steps! These guys must have rehearsed all the time to make that look so easy!!
Their father was a "task master". They rehearsed relentlessly, and were famously dubbed "the one take Osmonds".
And with one mighty stroke the Osmond Brothers simultaneously invented black and death metal.
I'm just hearing this for the first time ! Just wow !
This song knocks me right out of my temple garments! Woooo!
Born in 1957. How did I miss this song?
Was the first single I brought at 8 years old ..now I'm 56 it still rocks ..genuine classic ..rock on Osmonds ..
Agree!👍✌️
MAD about this. Always!
only a young boy back then the same age as Jimmy Osmond by a master piece
im agog at the mongs n young idiots dissing this classic :o total fuckin idiots with no music in their lives,its actually quite sad :/
My favorite song of the 70's
I was never an Osmond fan, but this song is quite a good rocker and they handle it very well.
Wow! I had no idea that the Osmonds had ever done something as...crazy as this!
Also, were the Osmonds *really* siblings, or did they just make clones?
got to tell my kids this is Queen this is just amazing
Lying to your kids. Stay classy.
Brilliant song. The intro is unforgettable 🎶
Sensational track! Worthy of any rock band.
Most underrated band. Love these guys ALWAYS. Merrill 💓Jay💓 Always my favorites! Love you Osmonds! 👍🤗😍✌️
Can forget the dancing the song is brilliant and this is as rock and roll as The Osmond's ever got.
Everyone took the piss out of the Osmonds . With their clean living , moralistic views & religion, but you’ve got to give them credit , they were a very talented & highly successful band . And family. 👍
Still rocks 40 years plus later.... love it
I was 11 when this album was released. I WORE IT OUT!
Holy cow! July 2021. I'm 64 & never knew this existed.
Look at those party suits, man. These guys were rockers!!!
This would get any rock crowd going crazy, love it
They opened for Led Zeppelin once
When I was 12 years old this song was too crazy for me. Now that I am 54, I really like it. Cool song!!
same here!
I was 7 and I hated it. Now, I think it was seriously underrated - it's a great song
Makes me feel young
53 here
I dont think I've ever seen a group of musicians having so much fun, awesome !!
What did I just watch? Everything I ever knew about the Osmonds had been blown away in 2 minutes. I love this, was born in '72 so maybe why I don't remember this, more familiar with the Donny and Marie (who I wanted to grow up to be) Show then this era. Awesome song.
Did they realize they play metal in that time? This is hard rock.
I missed this song somehow growing up, guess I was always into Beatles songs. But now that I'm older and wiser this is a good song. Those Osmonds could rock!
They borrowed some of those dance steps from Paul Revere and the Raiders
I think the rock stations refused to play it.
Older and wiser lol
I miss Them too
I was 9 when this came out and it got me into hard rock ☺🇬🇧
My all time favorite song from my all time fav album of theirs. I wish I had kept my copy all these years. Thanks for sharing! This brings back such memories! I love this version of the Osmonds. Too bad they didn't do more of this!
You should check out their album titled Brainstorm. That is another good album.
@@cindyerick2968 Thanks Cindy, I will do that!
What can I say....Loving this song since it came out....love the rock side to them and their slow music 🎶🎵....is awesome...They are 1.. band that are wholesome.....They were brought up well... Olive and George Osmond Kudos to you both..R.I.P ... and Jimmy Osmond did not pass away
The 70s were Great, love to return and stay.
Who knew Merrill was such a great vocalist?? And those dance moves? Love this performance!!
Check out the Disneyland performance
Every Osmond fan knew. Go back and watch their performances for Yo-Yo and Down by the lazy River. Merrill sang lead most of the time and he and Donny played well off each other (until Donny’s voice changed).
@@aliceshaw8265 they don't sound the same at all and it's easy to tell them apart.
Who knew? Fans all over the world knew back then, and still know now, that Merrill has one of the best rock 'n roll voices in the biz. Oh, but he can also sing the sweetest ballads. It's easy to see why he was selected by their music producers to be the lead.
All were good singers but Merrill had the best and the most soulful voice of the lot. One of the best voices in the business. It's a shame they weren't allowed to go as far as Jay's and Merrrill's singing could have taken them in the Rock world.
Blew My mind !!!! Woha , great voices , arrengements , Guitar riffs, such power , insane Keyboard .
I was 9 years old and had 100' s of magazine pictures of the Osmonds on my bed room
