This was such a huge hit and became something everyone always sang. I was a bartender and at closing someone would always start this song

I first heard this as a young girl riding in the car with my Momma. It was poignant and made me feel kinda sad. That's when we talked about aging, how one feels exactly the same inside. She told me that when she would look in the mirror, she would think, "who is that old lady?". Older but feeling the same. Now at 63, I know exactly what she means! 😹 This has an old world sound which is comforting to some. Thanks for sharing! 😽💋🎶

Beautiful little Welsh doll.Loved her then and always.

[@natalijaparadiso7566]

Wow !! I haven't heard this one in a longtime time brings back memories ...great reaction fellas ❤

[@ritaanderson4855]

No offense, but these guys completely missed the entire point of the song.

[@gemini802]

​@@ritaanderson4855 They did because they don't appreciate good music when they hear it because too wrapped up in todays rubbish rap music

[@arckocsog253]

I love this song And the lyrics have so much meaning

[@krissmgvlogs]

I was a kid when I first heard this song. Lovely song which brings back lovely memories.

[@NondescriptMammal]

Cool of you to explore such obscure old pop... I was a kid when this came out, it was one of those ear worm songs that gets stuck in your head lol

[@michaelmorrow9048]

Holy Shit Guys!! I'm a 52 yr old musical Almanac and I had TOTALLY forgot about this,
Hey, fur reel! I LOVE the different directions you two seem willing to go, Music is MUSIC my friends. I hope all you hear inspire you to make YOUR OWN

[@wendyt7958]

She was discovered by Paul McCartney...Sweet voice

[@micheled6111]

She has no auto tune so that is pretty good pitch.

[@ClarissaJulian]

Her lyrics are actually very prolific if you listen how ther verses gradually grow from optimistic youth to melancholy older years..
and the phrase "Those were the days my friend" is still a popular tagline today

[@carolynballiet5054]

Hi, I'm so glad you guys have this song on your page. When I get a chance to sit and smoke , between chores and grandbabies , I'll watch a bunch of videos. Folk, Folk Rock, classic Rock, Classic Country, Folk Country, Outlaw Country, and Soft Rock are my favs. My kids will ask me , what genre of music am I watching , so they can figure out how long they have to wait on me. They would rather , that I watch some Folk Music or Folk Rock rather than Soft Rock or Outlaw Classic Country because Folk Music songs are usually shorter than the story songs of SoftRock and Classic Country. They're beginning to recognize and tell me of the songs and Reactors voices they hear. Thank you .

[@carollittle1059]

Her voice!!

[@kathryndunn9655]

This was an enter to the European song contest

[@inverross9019]

Not quite.. Mary entered Eurovision with" Knock Knock who's there.. a song she hated. But anyway, Dana won. TWTD was her first and most famous hit, produced by Paul McCartney. Mary still makes albums, but writes her own songs.

[@davidwhite8220]

Very wise words. You guys are too young to really appreciate that, yet ...

[@fatovamingus]

My God I think you're the only ones who did this! When this was a hit on the radio I woke up and caught my babysitter and her boyfriend going to 3rd

[@Keffertje666]

I think you guys will love Tash Sultana with the song jungle.,she is so talented!🙌🏻

[@wbl5649]

the sound always brings to mind WWII France...

[@mandarinlearner]

She was discovered and produced by Paul McCartney of the Beatles

[@kathykobell7629]

Haven't heard that song i. Years.

[@Nana_Reads]

Great sing along song in a pub especially with the adlibs

[@tomski120]

Yay a reactor who doesn't like a song (you're wrong about this one though 😊) but it's nice to hear some truth. Kudos to you

[@kathryndunn9655]

I was a small child then I heard this

[@jnlaf]

This is an old Russian song

[@jeffreyweitzman6463]

Boring, making you sleepy - okay. That song is looked back upon with a lot of affection so I hugely disagree with you on that, though I respect you have your own musical tastes so respect your individual opinion. Considering when it was written and how lyrically it lent it to, for a lot of people back then it was kind of a looking into the upcoming decade ahead with hint of uncertainty/ even apprehension as to how the 70's would be considering for the most part how an amazing period the 60's had been in so many ways and why I would certainly swap being born in the 60's and living that time period than now!

[@patticrichton1135]

I was lucky enough to live through the '60s, such an incredible 10 year period with a lot of changes musically, culturally, and fashion. I became 13 in 1960 and was 22 in 1969. I don't like being this old now, but never trade being young in the '60s. I wish you could have been there.

[@douglee1911]

If I had a Time Machine, I’d choose the 60’s to return to. Certainly not 2022 !!!

[@stephenulmer3781]

The studio version would've been way better ☺

[@fatalwreck9254]

Not sure why but the melody makes me feel like its a lyrical version of “Love is Blue”.

[@Xcris_crosX]

Hmm🤔...

Bootsy Collins 'Munchies For Your Love'

[@faithinjesus7817]

Will you be doing the 80s?

[@petarpetrovic2127]

👍🍸👍

[@forwardlove9390]

no ideas about this song However, what about Bone Thugs N Harmony ?? ((CLE)) you know which album

[@johntutela5816]

Do some music from Bonnie Raitt. “I can’t make you love me”

[@marieoleary527]

You totally miss the point of the song. You might want to sleep on it.

[@tonyg6935]

Can you guys start reacting to Britney Spears? She has tons of hits and iconic music videos. Choreography, looks, and she was the blueprint for most of the modern pop ladies today. 👑🙏🏼

[@susanelkins3068]

Yeah- the beat is a bit boring-- listen to the words... that's the best. Those were the days--no more :(

[@gemini802]

It's not boring. Your just don't know good baby boomer music too used to all that dreadful rap you listen too don't insult 1960's music Paul McCartney wrote this for her!

[@anglosaxon5874]

Boring? Your 'music' [if you can call it that] is boring! 2:53
