I'm 63 now but this brings back a lot of memories of my younger days. Everyone says it so often it feels over used but music back then was just better. Thanks for bringing back some of these hits they're still worth listening to
One of my all time favorites! I am an old lady now but on one of my first jobs at 18 a young man would come thru my department & sing this to me. Always brightened up my day!! 😃
One of my favorite music references from old sitcoms - Newhart. Larry, Darryl and Darryl. The Darryls were complaining about not getting credit for something, and Larry said -"Not everybody gets to be Sam the Sham, some people just have to be Pharoahs."
Unfortunately a totally forgotten group and great song. THANK YOU MUCH to reacting to this. Wooly Bully may be their biggest hit tho I still love,this!
Straight back to my childhood. These guys were from my hometown, recorded there, and got a lot of airplay. They were a novelty band, but they were fun!
@@patticrichton1135 Name me five songs that have been “banned” and who or what “banned” them. Maybe you should listen more and opinionate less. One of the most popular songs by Nine Inch Nails has lyrics like, “I wanna fuck you like an animal / I wanna feel you from the inside / My whole existence is flaws / You bring me closer to God.” That is the first one that popped into my head but I can think of, God, so many pop songs much, much darker than this. You don’t know what you’re taking about and that’s all there is too it and I wonder how much pop music from any generation you have heard. Oh, and go tell those kids to get off the lawn.
It’s always been fun and fairly popular. There are a ton of reaction videos for it and I have yet to hear someone complaining. You sound like a person who stopped watching movies after 1960 so you think the shower murder in _Psycho_ is the most violent movies could get and the people today are a bunch of wimpy snowflakes. The worst part is that you sound a very _old_ person.
My step dad (a band leader) had them on his radio show in Memphis when I was a kid. Back before cable, acts went on local radio to promote themselves.. I watched them play Wooly Bully. They were also on George Kline's Talent Party on WHBQ in Memphis.. George launched many acts from his connections and through his show.. Elvis was best man at his wedding..
This really brings back childhood memories! The teenage boy next door had a garage band that had a very small repertoire (4 songs, tops!). This was one that they played the best, so we heard it A LOT!! 😁
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs dressed in Arab costumes, long robes and turbans as a gimmick. Of course now you have to check out "Wooly Bully". One, Two, Tres, Quatro!
Gatdamn! This brings back memories!!! I haven't heard this in fooorrrrrevaaaa!!! I'm an 80's kid, but I remember steppin' around the house with my friends to this song lol. Cheers for the trip to whomever requested this one!
This brings back memories, back in the 80’s when I was a bartender it was on our jukebox and everyone would play it for me ~ it was one of my favorite songs!!
When I was 13 or 14 went and got chicken with my friends …lol..this song had just come out and it was playing the guy selling us the chicken came out and starting sining that to me ..lol..I had on red shorts …
I remember my grandma had so many records (actual records) back in the day and she had Sam the Sham. We used to listen to this when I was a kid (and when I was older). Great memories ♥️ and great songs too
I discovered this song when I was a teen in the 90s and it remained a favorite. My son though hates it. He's 24 and he refers to it as that "rapey" song.
Gotta do "Wooly-Bully". Same kinda thing. Lotsa fun. There's a line that goes something like "Let's not be L7, come and learn to dance." L7 was code for a square, someone who was not hip. Put L and 7 together and they form a square. Y'all ain't square so it don't pertain. :)
Glad you enjoyed this song but I suggest doing another reaction to the original studio version that was released. That version is sharper and has better instrumental timing with the vocals.
Another big hit of their's was " Wooly Bully"!!
We had a teacher named Mrs. Wooly, so we sang it around her. Lol
One of the songs from the decades that I grew up in the 60s. Sam the Sham was one of the groups we listen to this song as well as woolly bully
I'm 63 now but this brings back a lot of memories of my younger days. Everyone says it so often it feels over used but music back then was just better. Thanks for bringing back some of these hits they're still worth listening to
This song is a lot of fun!
Another classic with fun lyrics is” Poison Ivy.”
I played this song for my kids. This one is my daughter's favorite.
One of my all time favorites! I
am an old lady now but on one of my first jobs at 18 a young man would come thru my department & sing this to me. Always brightened up my day!! 😃
This was all over my transistor radio back in the sixties, great song!
One of my favorite memories is my dad singing this dressed as the big, bad wolf at a fundraiser in the early '90s.
So cute..love Sam the Sham!!! Wooly Bully next... Great reaction!!

😂 I remember!
Great show! Real entertainment, not a reality show!
That's not an OLD sitcom.
The Bob Newhart Show is an old sitcom.
;^}
LMBO I'd forgotten this song😂🤣
Unfortunately a totally forgotten group and great song. THANK YOU MUCH to reacting to this. Wooly Bully may be their biggest hit tho I still love,this!
Their Not forgotten !
Straight back to my childhood. These guys were from my hometown, recorded there, and got a lot of airplay. They were a novelty band, but they were fun!
OOOOH! I love this song! One of my favorites!
I played this song in two of my bands in the 80s & 90s. The audience always had fun with it (we did too). 🐺
What a memory from my childhood! Love it!
This was a fun song back then. There was nothing predatory about it…..at least in the 60s. Who knows what people would think of it these days.
Yes you are right...nowadays it would probably be banned, sadly. For us back then, it was just a fun song.
Six flags was playing this during their fright night

Thank you so much.I have suggested this song to many reactors with no response.
This song is wierd but fun.
OMG yes this is one of My Fave Karaoke Songs I sing it every time I go to Karaoke
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs dressed in Arab costumes, long robes and turbans as a gimmick. Of course now you have to check out "Wooly Bully".
One, Two, Tres, Quatro!
If you're going to do Sam the Sham, do "Wooly Bully". That, along with "Louie, Louie" was required music at every drunk frat party.
Such a fun song!!
My dad used to sing this to me every night before bed and now it’s a tradition in my family!
Gatdamn! This brings back memories!!!
I haven't heard this in fooorrrrrevaaaa!!!
I'm an 80's kid, but I remember steppin' around the house with my friends to this song lol.
Cheers for the trip to whomever requested this one!
Love this!!!! I can't believe you reacted to this!!!! 💞💞💞💞
Loved this song. My older brother bought me the 45. The record that was mine
Couple of fun songs from the 60's are by Shirley Ellis, The Name Game and the Clapping Song.
Love this song and wooly Bully was another great by them a great dance tune back in the day
This brings back memories, back in the 80’s when I was a bartender it was on our jukebox and everyone would play it for me ~ it was one of my favorite songs!!
Such a fun song!
Even as a child when this came out I took it to be a warning to young girls not to trust the sweet talk of a "wolf".
True it was just a fun song
Australia 💕 Christina
One of my favorite fin songs from the 60s. Another fun song I remember is the Jolly Green Giant by the Kingsmen

When I was 13 or 14 went and got chicken with my friends …lol..this song had just come out and it was playing the guy selling us the chicken came out and starting sining that to me ..lol..I had on red shorts …
I was waiting for someone to react to this song. It is a childhood favorite of mine.
Hahahahaha! My dad used to sing this song all the time to my stepmom!🤣😂🤣😂
Great reaction guys to a group of the 60s I believe few have reacted to if any. You must react to their biggest hit wooly bully!
This is such a fun song of the tales I read about as a kid.
This is such a great old classic. "Wooly Bully" was huge as well.
Hello from Cody Wyoming! You both always make me smile!! You are awesome keep it up !🤠
Try 1,2,3, red light by the 1910 Fruitgum co, you will love that song too!
Got to meet Sam here in Memphis a few years ago. What a great guy he is.

A lot of songs done just for fun in the 70's. Miss that.
I remember my grandma had so many records (actual records) back in the day and she had Sam the Sham. We used to listen to this when I was a kid (and when I was older). Great memories ♥️ and great songs too
Currently covering this song. Gonna be great when done
Listen to Wooly Bully by them. You'll love it too!
This is from my youth I miss this kinda rhythm and songs that aren't singers seeing how loud they can sing
Would love to see you react to Bobby Day "Rockin Robin". I think you'll enjoy it.
I discovered this song when I was a teen in the 90s and it remained a favorite. My son though hates it. He's 24 and he refers to it as that "rapey" song.
My Present To Shawn & Mel::
Junior Walker & The All Stars "What Does It Take"...An Absolute Soul Classic.
This is such a cool song, love it so much
Their songs always put me in a good and silly mood. Play more of Sam the Sham~~~

Lol, this song is just pure fun 😊

Gotta do "Wooly-Bully". Same kinda thing. Lotsa fun. There's a line that goes something like "Let's not be L7, come and learn to dance." L7 was code for a square, someone who was not hip. Put L and 7 together and they form a square. Y'all ain't square so it don't pertain. :)
Ha! I remember my sister forming the L7 square whenever she wanted to bug me. I loved her but she was a pest...first class.

I remember my dad playing this on record! Back in the day!

They definitely were liking this. Lol😂
Great reactions 👈👏👏👏
I’m from Westside Baltimore. Moved out in 2004 to Pennsylvania
Another silly/fun song : "If You Want to Be Happy For the Rest of Your Life" by Jimmy Soul, from 1963.
Glad you enjoyed this song but I suggest doing another reaction to the original studio version that was released. That version is sharper and has better instrumental timing with the vocals.
Hehehe..Awesome reaction
here is an oldie but a goodie from back in the day it's called Who Put The Bop in the Bop shoo bop by the the Platters
Memories
Shawn & Mel make me smile. Plus, theyre from Baltimore.
