대통령 이십니다,ㅋㅋ
His voice is richer on this version than the original version, so many years later. Amazing!
He's using some technology which auto-corrects the pitch, the tech has moved on a lot and I don't blame him, but you can definitely hear it.
He sang this more attractive than he sang at young age.
BRILLIANT
@@gardenchill4013in 1999?
@@charmedprince hey you could be right, but I think some of that tech was first launched 96 or 97. Cher had her hit 'Believe' in 98 for example. In any event, this is a great performance, I'm just flagging that it feels like some vocal processing and doubling and perhaps a little auto-tune tech is used, but good luck to him. Classic, fantastic song, great live performance with or without a little assistance!
This song was number one the year I graduated from high school!! 📻 Brings back good memories!! ❤
I come from an island called Papua New Guinea. Not many people know about us but the fact that we appreciate this song personifies the reach of this masterpiece. I wish anyone who read this comment nothing but the best in life. CHEERS BRETHREN!!
I know about you, I did a University paper about you here in Canada. I thought the tradition of the girls fathers making a marriage skirt for them was very sweet. Is this still a tradition?
젊어서 엄청 즐겨 들었던 곡!! 이번에 윤대통령이 미국 방문해서 한 소절 부르는 모습 보니 다시 찾아 들어봅니다~ 돈맥클린~ 최고~
👍
“The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed”. One of my favourite lyrics.
Can still sing almost every word of this song all this years later. What a classic song.
Just can't believe Don's singin' voice is still as good as ever , the classic song remains fresh & energitic , the Man is an American music legend 👍👏💯
Better.
this was 23 years ago
Listen to him sing this with Home FREE
Canadian 😢😅
Buddy H 👌
The story of rock has never been told any better. James Deen. Elvis. Buddy Holly Janis Joplin they are all there and a part of each and every one of us must. also be there . More than just a record it's a bloody piece of solid gold poetry and a piece of history. CLASSIC
Just the first line
"Long, long time ago..."
brings me to tears.... every single time..... thanks Don
"You never realized how long American Pie is till your boss makes you sing it"
Hank Hill -King of the Hill
One of the greatest hits of all time!
I heard the President Yoon's singing.
Ans I want to hear the original.
What a good song.
Don, your music is an integral part of my foundation. It's hard for me to dig deeper than the memories of American Pie. The patterns that you have created are independent of their material substrate, and a piece of you will carry on with me through eternity... part of me. Thank you for being who you are!
Woah, don liked ur comment
So you like him then
@@charliesouthgate6125 Yeah, I admit here a year later what I wrote sounds a bit fan-boyish. But this song... it's a part of me. It describes the turmoil my country endured through my formative years. And actually, there's a much more personal reason why I love American Pie. When I was a child through the 60's my mother always sang me a song at bedtime. So when I had a daughter in the 90's & 00's I would bring my guitar into her bedroom every night and we'd sing a bedtime song of her choice together. I usually brought in a 3-ring binder of songs I had printed. And her favorite bedtime song was.... you guessed it. American Pie! I sang this song hundreds of times for my daughter at bedtime. When she was very young it was adorable when she'd make the sign of the cross when it got to The Father, Son and The Holy Ghost. Too cute for words.
Now lest you think my daughter was a much deeper thinker than a regular 6 year old would be I should point out that the actual reason she chose American Pie more than any other song was because it was the LONGEST SONG in my 3 ring binder. And children have their priorities at bedtime. "Read me the long one Daddy" :)
Nonetheless, to me American Pie is a masterpiece. And listening to and seeing interviews with Don McLean I can tell that he and I are, to a large degree, cultural birds of a feather. I respect him and I understand what loss he was lamenting in American Pie. I have two older brothers who were about Don's age, and I got to understand the sock hop era through them.
The other day I got a text message out of the blue from my now 28 year old daughter who said "GUESS WHAT SONG IS ON THE RADIO?!?!?!" Shared memories.... they're the best!
@@usmcbrat2 great story my friend, I wasn't being disrespectful to you, I could tell, as Don did also, that you meant every word; I just tried to inject a small amount of humour, hope it brought a small smile to your face,
All the best, Charlie
@@charliesouthgate6125 Thanks, Charilie!
All Koreans are thankful for American's sacrifice, blood and all supports for protecting us for precious Liberty.
I don't say this lightly. But this song is as much a part of the Great American Songbook as "Over the Rainbow", "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me". OK, I have my body armor on now. Take your shots.
No sir, there is no need of an armor, because you are absolutely right with the proclamation that you just said......Shots are unnecessary
A shot of whiskey, a shot of rye. Cheers.
Bahb Woolley Yes, sir, those shots instead!
Cheers!!
I'm not sure what the 🥧 part of the title means, but this song is as AMERICAN as it gets, maybe only behind the national anthem. It has so many purely American references in it, only leaving out baseball perhaps. His real genius was not referring to Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens directly, but making us wonder all these decades. Plus the tune is also brilliant. They asked Don in an interview, What does American Pie mean to you? He said, It means I don't have to work anymore! We should all be so lucky. Thanks Don!
Interesting choices but I can't disagree.
The guy talks the music, he sings to tell a story, a poem: he translates life into music. I grew up listening to this man sing. Thanks again.
God bless him.❤
Ironically, there will be no day this song, die.
Mr President Yoon of S.Korea
You Rock!!!!!! May God bless US and S Korea’s alliance forever
I Wish S.Korea will be united soon hopefully in my lifetime 😊
American pie is one of the best song ever written and composed. Thank you
멋쟁이들 많네요 우리지구상에♥
대통령은 노래를 사랑하는 아름다운 사람, 우리나라가 자랑스러워요
나만 그런줄 알았습니다. 이 노래를 찾고 듣고 또 듣습니다. 눈물도 나고 뭉클하고 몇일은 갈 것 같습니다.
this song is still my fav
Same
Me too. Super sad nowadays with the country in chaos and no end in sight.
As it should be.
I sat at my dad's grave on his birthday with afew beers played his favourite songs the Beatles , and freebird etc and of course American pie 🥧
Mine as well.

윤석열대통령님 '아메리칸 파이' 너무 멋지게 부르셔서 Don McLean 원곡 들으니 학창 시절 생각 납니다. 정말 멋진 노래네요~^^
네
윤대통령님 노래 듣고 팬되었습니다. ^^
노래 정말 좋습니다. 👍
Poetry to my heart. One of best music storytellers I've been privileged to hear.
America is so... 🎶💕💖🦊
Truly, one of the greatest songs ever written and performed. 👍
When that song came out my girlfriend and I were glued to the phone calling the radio station for repeats! So glad I lived and grew up in all that greatest music ever and now my grandkids hear it from me. Still have not only albums but cassette and 8 tracks! 😂
Timeless classic . Awesome !
오래전에 들었던 추억의 팝송 우리 윤통님 덕분에 다시 들으며 어렸던 날들의 추억이 생각나네요^^
One of the best songs ever written. Perfect.
Love it
You do not need a lot of hits. You just need that one Mega Iconic Hit that lasts forever and is instantly recognizable...
Probably the best sing a long feel good song of all time. This was energy, fun, love, happy, Star struck, feel good all over. My childhood and young teens would not have been the same without this song…
This song still brings me tears. It's as much a tribute to Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper & 17-year old Richie Valens as to Don McLean. A powerful song of one of the more tragic moments in the rich history of rock and roll
Well spoken my friend - he has captured the grief and compassion of a nation in the outpouring words oh his very soul!
here S Korea president sing American pie at white house, l can still remember, will live long long after generations to come, wow love it, thanks dear president, Respect to him,
Great song. I remind he said once about this song that it's about the February 1959 plane crash, where Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and Big Bopper died.
세월이 지나도 변함이 없는 최고의 명곡입니다~ 돈 형의 라이브 실력도 끝내주네요~ 저의 힐링곡 ~~~
윤대통령님의 애창곡 들으러왔습니다.진짜 명곡이네요.😍😍😍
Still that lovely tremelo. He sang during my early twenties and I sensed that the USA might just be a place I would have to leave. Now I've been in Canada (as a citizen) for longer than I'd been in the USA.. Austin had been my home. Bye bye Miss American Pie.
You like Canada?
윤대통령님 덕분에 돈 맥클린 씨를 알게되었고 아메리칸 파이 노래 들었는데 정말 최고예요❤❤❤
(Thanks to President Yoon, I got to know Don McLean and listened to American Pie's song, it's really the best)❤❤❤
When a song is eight minutes long and you still can't get enough of it every time.....that's what you call a classic
Lol. Only 8 minutes?
Agreed. Went to one of his concerts back in the day. Yep, the good old days.
I totally agree with this comment
Damn right! Start making song's that have heart, and make since, not violence, and hate!!!
There was a time of my life that I played the song almost every hour for weeks.
I'm here coz I missed my dad so much
This was our jam
어릴 때 듣던 팝송입니다. 미국과 한국은 영원한 형제 국가입니다.
Just brilliant!
Music is life ! Don Maclean is life !
I remember the 'Day The Music Died' I was only little but I remember my parents talking about Big Bopper, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly were lost to the world. I wonder what they would have produced if they had lived? Done Don McLean is LEGEND as is this song. Always brings a tear to the eye of anyone from this sad era.
An American classic. Folks today don'y realize how tough the road of a popular musician was in the day. They had to perform night after night to sell records or get the local DJ's to play their rcord on WHOO.
I love America. I just can't stand a tax avoider. Obviously you are afraid of That. Mugs. Britain is the best place in the world to be.....Children cry in the street... Animals starve. Chained up.... The whole wide world knows... They don't want hurt. Mugs..
Still the memory of my youth lingers ee are still here as your huge fans Don . Thank you for yoyr masterpuece and of course Vincent songs
Legends always have a masterpiece that hundred years won't die and will always be a part of the new generation. Hats off for this song what a masterpiece..
WOW-와우 멋쟁이
This is the korean president's favorite
Oh ya. Love that song. I think i hear it at least once a week. Going to be 60 on 9/11. Always 💘 it. Thank u
I was five years old in '71 sitting in the back of the chevy listening to this the first time and I thought it was about OUR car.
I didn’t know either
Voice still perfect after all these years. Saw him live 1976 Cambridge Folk Festival... Happy Memories..
His voice is still spot on.
NO OTHER WORDS CAN EXPRESS MY FEELING FOR THIS MEMORIAL SONG. I SING ALONG, THEN I CRY, THEN I LAUGH FOR BEING SO SILLY.. IT'S LIKE A PRETTY AND YOUNG GIRL AGAIN. WONDERFULLY HAPPY.
Beautifull song, voice , acustic guitar , piano and violins
I was a teenager when this song was in the charts in the UK. It sounded great back in the day and it still sounds great now. I just turned 68. Thank you Don McLean for a fabulous song. My kids are seriously impressed that their old mum knows all the words. xxx
The confidence and talent is breathtaking.
On this day; May 26th, 1971....Don McLean recorded his career-defining song "American Pie".....It hit the #1 spot on the USA Billboard Hot 100 in January 1972 & is one of the most successful singles in rock history.
Timeless…
February 3, 1959 - RIP Buddy, Richie, and "The Big Bopper" J.P. Richardson, along with what went down in the 1960s of the country's moral compass of civil rights, sex, drugs, and rockin' roll all an "American Pie's" mixed together in the melting pot of the world!
Cant believe it's 2022 and i still find myself singing this song often
No good thing ever dies.
About the only song I knew the words to and I’ve listened hundreds of times to many in my 70 years.
Me too😀
@@hedanhercules That’s ironic! 😉
I loved this song then (the '70s) and I still love it today!
Legend
I love the joyous genius of Don McLean. He laughs in our faces, and I'll come back again, pal
do you still play it?
@@kimandrews9979 I prefer Vincent and Till Tomorrow but I'll crank up the volume on American Pie if it comes on the radio when I'm in the right mood ' )
ICONIC !!! thank you for this great song !!!
This song hits my American mind, body and soul hard to the very core.
A very precious classic !!!
this song is very good feeling
But ptst? Yoon make it
Gaspel song
I can remember exactly where I was the first time I ever heard this song, I was mesmerized . Still am every Time I hear it. It's timeless.
Don the music will never DIE as it is stuck in our minds and we can recite it word for word all-over the world. Its an intergeneration song that means as much now as when it was written.
One of the best song /story ever song ever..love it..I hope my kids play it at my funeral
A poet at any tempo.
An American Classic ,
An American Legend 👍👏💯
Still a wonderful, beautiful voice.
Masterpiece of the mankind.
Fifty years ago and still resonates! Whatever happened to lyrics over past few years!
I got to know the singer and the song because of President Yoon. Such profound lyrics and melodies, your sweet voice is wonderfu🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This beautiful song is full of ideas! I just found the phrase "eight miles high", referring The Byrds... Thank you, Don! You are well known also here in Finland!
AT 82 AND AN ACCORDION MUSICIAN I FINALLY LISTENED TO ALL THE WORDS. WORDS AND MUSIC AND LIKE HE IS PREACHING TO US IN A WAY WE CAN UNDERSTAND AND SAY "AMEN" TO HOW WHAT WE HEAR TODAY IS NOISE AND VULGAR SONGS. FEEL SORRY FOR YOUNG FOLKS GROWING UP TODAY. THANK THE LORD I CAN LISTEN TO THESE GREAT VIDEOS FROM WAY BACK IN THE GOOD OLE DAYS. 👍 🙌 🙏 👏 ✨️
When my best friend died they player this at his funeral. De used to listen to this song on the radio when it first came out!! What a great time.
I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.
Wonderful!!!!! Amazing song!!! just remembering my childness. McLean you¨re marvelous!!!😎😊😊
My favorite song that never die. Don McLean excellent song writer composer. Watching from honolulu hawaii

Only just come across this, But it's still a great son. loved it.
It is both poetry and genius music!!
The best American song of the world,anybody can sing and love this song,unreal!
In my 20s we were all at a campsite ...probably 150 plus people..some guy with a guitar starts playing this and every person there sang along..I'm almost 60 and can still remember it clearly...one of yhe best songs ever
대통령 덕분에 이노래들어보니 가사가슬퍼기도하고 멋지네요

God Damn that is excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing to compare.
THE ultimate or closely thereto.
Have to see it. Thank you DonMclean.
Esta música eu ouvia incansavelmente quando tinha 15 anos. Estou com 64 e ainda a ouço com a mesma empolgação e prazer daquela época.
Eu também!
Back when I used to DJ weddings in the 80's-90's, I had a client discuss with me that they wanted this played after the cake was cut. I thought it was weird timing but they explained the motive and it sounded like fun. Sure enough, I announce it, the Bride, Groom and a bunch of their college friends hit the dance floor and "acted out" the entire song. Plenty of cheers and not a dry eye in the house when they were done.
Korea President Yoon sang this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
