Just as I remember it, I used to play this song to my Mother who absolutely loved it, we had such fun. She's long gone now & I'm 68 & haven't played a guitar in years but after finding this I might just take it up again as I have grandchildren now. Thank you much for sharing.
This song was written almost 30 years before these kids were born. What an great era of songwriting. Not just McCartney, but so many scores of other songwriters. And it lives on today and is appreciated by these excellent musicians and budding songwriters.
Сейчас мне 68 лет! Мы в детстве дома с моей сестрой целыми днями слушали эту песню! Моей любимой сестры уже давно нет, а песню эту до сих пор слушаю! BEATLES Forever!❤
Part of the magic is that it seems simple. But how many millions of bands out there never get a hit and the Beatles could pump out one after the other for almost 10 years? They had a gift of seemingly simple words put to timeless music and it worked for them as a recipe to create masterpieces.
It's not just that the Beatles gave us such great songs. It's not even that AND the fact that they gave us so many great songs. It's that they gave us so many great songs in so many different styles.
Reina - lead vocals Josh - lead guitar and vocal harmony Toni - bass, vocal harmony and big cheesy grins Carson - intro, vocals, harmonica and wadded up hotel towel What a crew! Don't ever stop being you.
I was a Beatles fan long before you folks were born and I am thrilled to see such love, attention to detail and genuine joy that shines from you in this most excellent cover. You all are amazing musicians.
When my daughter was a little girl in about 1972 or 3, she had a rocking horse and would rock to this tune as I would play it on my guitar. She knew every word and would get that horse going like crazy. Fun memory! Thanks guys.
These kids are brilliant!, check out their other stuff. I was born in the 50s , this is as good as you'll get. No gimmicks and you can see it on their faces, they love it!. Long may it continue.
Ho 68 anni. Comprai il White Album che ne avevo 15….. è emozionante ascoltare da bravissimi giovani un brano beatlsiano del 1968…..Complimenti, mi commuovete 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have long loved impromptu, underproduced and playful music videos like this one. They showcase how very talented the artists are, as there is no hiding the mistakes, and they serve to take the fans along on a creative joyride that might otherwise go unseen. Thank you all very much.
You four are a perfectly tuned engine: it is not just about the great harmony, but it is even more about the joyful energy you create. Thank you! From Finland.
@@roberthultz9023 The song was primarily written by Paul McCartney while playing acoustic guitar with John Lennon and Donovan in India where the Beatles had gone on a retreat. There was some light background harmony at times with Paul doing all the lead vocals.
@ksfhhnfan That does indeed seem to be the case. However I have heard interviews where Paul and John seemed to have some debate/conflict over who wrote certain songs or parts of songs. But this particular song is very Paul. I understand they wrote close to 50 songs while in India which is amazing not only because of the number but also because they are all spectacular.
You guys are so good - I am 67 and love your music, together or separate. I am amazed you have found each other despite living different parts of the country.
She has such a unique and beautiful voice. Such tight musicianship too, they're visibly having a ton of fun while playing near perfectly in time and synchronicity.
I can't put into words how happy this made me. I especially loved Carson's intro and the harmonising at 2:53. Please continue collaborating with Josh & Carson and continue covering Beatles songs. You guys are my favorite TH-cam musicians and make my day every time you upload!
I love this. Once a friend of mine asked me, "Do you know Rocky Raccoon? ... What? You don't know Rocky Raccoon?" That was 1973. I had to learn it. So I did. Josh plays it better than I do. I'll have to study this a bit and see what I can do. Thanks Josh.
One of my favorite things is Reinas vocal delivery . It is clear and precise, great care is taken. Almost over pronunciation. Easy to understand. Her , Toni, and the guest artists give me a optimistic feeling of the past clear thru the future for music !!
This is an extremely important cover of my favorite Beatles song. Don't believe me? My nickname in high school was Rocky because I liked this song so much.
CONGRATULATIONS to you 4. from the heart of a 69 year-old admirer of the Beatles, who believes that you are the kind of youth who can make possible a better (much better) world. As you are getting older you run the risk of forgetting about your dreams with the passing time, but don´t do that, never change that feeling, always go on with your dreams. OUR PLANET EARTH IS URGENTLY CLAIMING FOR HELP FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU, never give up¡
You people are so freaking awesome at covers. Seriously. If you end up writing original material to match your musicianship and spunk, you will have redeemed the twenty-first century.
I made it to the Dallas concert and it was one of the happiest nights of my life. Also, Josh asked if there was anyone in the audience who was there other than because of TH-cam and I had brought my friend who hadn't ever really heard much of either group, and she asked me afterward, "Why aren't they famous already?" I know you're all getting there, and touring the country is the way to do it. Thanks to all four of you for showing up on your Southern tour. What a treat! Reina, your t-shirts are very cool.
From "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to this in 4 years. That's why no one else came or would likely to come close. That's the main thing about the Beatles.
Not only is the music great, the smiles are awesome. And the laughter that is emitted when the four of you are creating just fills the soul. Thank you for these moments. They are truly uplifting!
Cuando veo gente joven divirtiéndose con la música de los Beatles siempre me conmueve y me pongo a pensar que John nunca murió, que George está aún y que los Beatles y su música siguen vigentes como siempre.
Siete semplicemente stupendi. Suonate in casa, su un prato, per strada...con una semplicità e una bravura disarmante. Ascoltarvi ogni sera mi riempie il cuore.
I'm sure you hear it all the time but, there is something very special in what you folks do. Life always changes, but for right now, your stuff makes life better! Thanks!
I really love this cover. Greetings from Madrid (Spain) with everybody staying home. You are an open window to scape from this nightmare.Thanks indeed.
Hi Guys, what a nice song! I loved everything about it, I mean Josh' s ability on guitar, the sweet sweet voice, the "pizzicato" bass sound...but most of all the soul freshness you're able to transmit to us. Absolutely adorable. 🐾
Love how they filmed this in a hotel room with a Gideon Bible.
"That book by Mr. Gideon"
MM in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Just as I remember it, I used to play this song to my Mother who absolutely loved it, we had such fun. She's long gone now & I'm 68 & haven't played a guitar in years but after finding this I might just take it up again as I have grandchildren now. Thank you much for sharing.
And sing them this song Grandpa! Music is life and Love💜💜💜💜
Your grandchildren...and you yourself...will love having you pick up that guitar again.
So glad young people still listen to the beatles and others.... there is hope Yet!! 🙏💚
Imagine judging people on their individual merits rather than as some nebulous generation...
It still shocks me when I hear people refer to this as the “worst” Beatles song. I’ve always loved it.
Me and my ole bestie would second you on that.
this is one of my fav beatles songs
One of my favorites to play and sing!
Show them Revolution 9.
Terry Johnson who on earth would tell you that???
Human race has hope as long as there are people like you who can perform this song this beautifully.
Couldn’t agree more.The ‘Artist’ generation will save us.All power to you Josh and your very talented band of musicians.

I cannot overstate how much I love seeing the four of you make music together. There seems to be a natural synergy there.
The simpleness of what we see just reveal how much they work, and how much they are talented :)
I so agree. This was so fun to watch/listen to .
yes! true

@@GP-qi1ve Josh was born in 1992. He and Carson met in 8th grade. Reina is 5 years their senior.
Сейчас мне 68 лет! Мы в детстве дома с моей сестрой целыми днями слушали эту песню! Моей любимой сестры уже давно нет, а песню эту до сих пор слушаю! BEATLES Forever!❤
Beatles... simplest song turns into a classic . 50 years have passed and we still singing the same songs, what a magic...

Can't go wrong when they Paul made a Country Beatles song way back in 1968!
I loved the detail of having the Gideon Bible on the table!
Luis Magnani AMEN!
Ahhh, hotel rooms
.....It worked for Dr Peter Ruckman....... th-cam.com/video/jen5O7yx-SY/w-d-xo.html
...And is that Boulevard Brewing Pale Ale? Nice choice.
@@ThinWhiteAxe motel rooms lol
Reina - lead vocals
Josh - lead guitar and vocal harmony
Toni - bass, vocal harmony and big cheesy grins
Carson - intro, vocals, harmonica and wadded up hotel towel
What a crew! Don't ever stop being you.
I think the towel had ice in it.
I’m sure there was ice in that towel!!
Toni on camera?
Tina Heath es vocalista excelent
Now, if this quartet of brilliant musicians asked Allison Young to join them, I reckon we’ll have a supergroup on our hands.
I was a Beatles fan long before you folks were born and I am thrilled to see such love, attention to detail and genuine joy that shines from you in this most excellent cover. You all are amazing musicians.
"genuine joy"
EXACTLY!!! Their smiles make ME feel good... 🙂 And of course, the music they play... Rare, very rare nowadays.
Yes I agree. These guys have the essence of the song all wrapped up 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎺
I mean... It's The Beatles so...
I can't pick a favorite player. They're all great in this. So was the sound quality. Great microphone.
Carson on the...... Rice Towel? 😂
When my daughter was a little girl in about 1972 or 3, she had a rocking horse and would rock to this tune as I would play it on my guitar. She knew every word and would get that horse going like crazy. Fun memory! Thanks guys.
it's a wonderful thing when people can laugh together.
I’m totally in awe every time Reina starts to sing, just an amazing voice.
Paul McCartney is truly one of the greatest vocalist.
This is a very respectable cover. Great job people
These kids are brilliant!, check out their other stuff. I was born in the 50s , this is as good as you'll get. No gimmicks and you can see it on their faces, they love it!. Long may it continue.
Toni's face at around 3:00 expresses the love of music so much!
This is just about the best cover of this song ever..Toni's guitar playing and Reina's singing make this outstanding.. !
Toni isn't playing guitar that's a bass. Josh is the one playing the guitar
One of my favorite songs from back in '79, brings tears to my eyes
Ho 68 anni. Comprai il White Album che ne avevo 15….. è emozionante ascoltare da bravissimi giovani un brano beatlsiano del 1968…..Complimenti, mi commuovete 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same year, same age and probably same time listening to this song.
One thing that comes across very clearly in your performances is that you are flat out having fun. Keep up the good work.
You all are great.
YALLS GREAT
Love the outtakes. Happy people producing beautiful music in the most unusual surroundings.
Regards to all from the UK.
I can hear Toni stifling her laughs during the outtake. Its no wonder Carson was looking like he was about to bust out laughing himself.
I have long loved impromptu, underproduced and playful music videos like this one. They showcase how very talented the artists are, as there is no hiding the mistakes, and they serve to take the fans along on a creative joyride that might otherwise go unseen. Thank you all very much.
This has been out for 5 years and I just found it?!?! Whaaatttt?!?! That’s good stuff right there!
u lucky .. found it 3 mounths earler then me :)
Bravo à Josh, Reina, Toni et Carson. Vous êtes des excellents musiciens avec beaucoup de talent.
You four are a perfectly tuned engine: it is not just about the great harmony, but it is even more about the joyful energy you create. Thank you! From Finland.
Her vocal timbre is sublime for this song. :)
Nice to see some of this generation carrying on the great music of my time. Hope McCartney is watching.
I thought this was a Lennon song and that he was writing lyrics right up to recording .

This might be the 89th best Beatles song. And still we love it 55 years later.

Seeing this again during the lockdown. It’s making me emotional. Together with friends, close, no safe distance. Sigh. Be safe 😷

Thank you! Nostalgic! You reminded me how we sang Rocky 50 years ago same way and in the same conditions in our student hostel and we loved it!

Your joy for the music is apparent and the joy of playing together gives the listeners joy in return.

One of the BEST covers ever!! I hope Paul and Ringo watch this. Sooo good!
Tears of happiness and joy
You know , the honesty of this performing makes it strong...Straight forward, no hiding , just palin mastery...and connection on the vibe!
COOL!
People in the room next door trying to watch a Judge Judy rerun: "What the hell is going on over there?"
LMAO
The first five takes were okay, but at some point they start to wonder.
That was absolutely amazing! I'm in awe of your cover! That's phenomenal well done guys!
I don't know how many times I watched this video... but the feeling is always the same as my first time seeing.
😂 Very good. I'm seeing it from 🇧🇷 on 6 oct 2024. Thank you for Share 👏🏻👏🏻
This is one I haven’t heard in about a dozen decades.
Great.
📻🙂
Quite magical rendition of a truly great Beatles’ song. Wow

to be young and to be having that much fun hanging out with your friends singing laughing and making music
Magnificent interpretation of a “minor” Beatles’ songs. You are all too good.
I've always loved that song. Now I love it even more
in a small town in France , lost near of the mountain
of Jura , i listen Reina , tina ....and the 2 boys. it is magic
Not Tina but Toni, the best guitar player in the galaxy. 🕊🌹🎸🌹🕊
Essa e outras músicas ''menos tocadas'' dos Beatles são simplesmente fantásticas. 👏👏👏💯
I can't tell you how many times I played this over...I loved this..♥️👏👏👏👏
The four of you making music makes my heart soar like a hawk.
Brings back memories of being on a ship listening to the Beatles. Good job.
I've heard that Austin is a special place for musicians show their chops...greetings from Havana.
This song made me cry. Lol I used to play it when working as a farm hand. It reminds me of good old summer under the sun and pulling out weeds
One of my Beatles favorites. Absolutely beautiful!!!
I'm sure you hear it all the time but, there is something very special in what you folks do. Life always changes, but for right now, your stuff makes life better! Thanks!
One of the best Beatle covers I can recall. This nerdy clique is half a step from tippity-top notch.
Great Delivery,you have deliver the lyrics on a silver platter .WELL DONE
Just love this cover of Rocky Raccoon. First heard the song in about 1972 when a friend played the White Album. Great to hear Americans sing the song.
I just love these kids! Not only superb musicians but they have great taste!
It's awesome watching you young folks playin these oldies that me and my friends used to sit around and jam out to forty years ago, nice job
2x2 talented musicians together covering a Beatles song : total happiness! Thank you all. Hope hearing you in Paris !
So happy! I have my tickets since 3 weeks and I am now in Paris! See you tomorrow evening at The Bellevilloise. Live!
You guys are great! You performed well and looked like you were having a lot of fun doing it!! Bravo!
Nice to see young pple enjoying classic artists. Fun song.
Rocky Raccoon is MY FAVORITE Beatles song !! Nic job....THANK YOU!!!!
Just love you four together. Just amazing. Can't wait for London to see you in the flesh. Happy touring! 😎👍
I really love this cover. Greetings from Madrid (Spain) with everybody staying home. You are an open window to scape from this nightmare.Thanks indeed.
I'm so happy they added the snare on 1:47 for the shot
Bring back such lovely memories. Enjoy every minute you young sweet people... 😊💓
Helluva lotta fun. Great song, great musicians, great arrangement. Couldn't be better!
2:49 just perfect holy god
I love this organic approach to this Classic 🎶🎼❤️🎼🎶 I hear all the little details in your recording 🎵 Most excellent work🔥
Closed my eyes and couldn't tell the difference. You gave this song poetic justice. Sweet! 💕🎵🎶
I qm no2 70 and still love your music. I've listened to Rocky Raccoon numerous times.
Hi Guys, what a nice song!
I loved everything about it, I mean Josh' s ability on guitar, the sweet sweet voice, the "pizzicato" bass sound...but most of all the soul freshness you're able to transmit to us.
Absolutely adorable. 🐾
Fleetwood Macesque chemistry when you guys jam as one. The hotel room bible on nightstand is nice touch (and assume intentional).
That rolled-up hotel towel has SOUL!
I luv young ones loving the old greats. Keep it up 👍 great talents.
The four of you together with your varied and accomplished talents, take it to another lever together!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally enjoyed! You can never go wrong with this group! Reina, Toni, Josh and Carson, I watch you all and enjoy you all!
