Yep. I was seven years old when it came out and I'm 53 and alongside Linda Ronstadt, Blue Bayou it is one of the very most nostalgic songs that transport me instantly back to the 70's when I hear it.
I know music really really well, from Captain Beefheart to Lamb of God to The Milkmen... but I've never heard of this band or this song until a few days ago when I stubbled upon this video. Now I can't stop watching it. I play it over and over again. This simple power ballad is infectious and brilliant. BEWARE: It contains a fapper's Kryptonite, and a handful of tissue may be required for optimal viewing experience.
10/10 for taking their miming performance with 100% seriousness and 100% effort. The fans deserve no less. Lets not pretend she hasn't got a smoking hot body too, pretty easy on the eyes, as I imagine the blonde guy is for the ladies.
Different sound to this song than the rest of that era.... great sound.. the harder I play it on the Hi-Fi.. the better... did it when I was 16 years old.. and still do it today.. great song...!!!
My fav song too. And i was fallen in love until today in the keyborder (these 3 have been sisters and brothers knauer). Does anyone know, what they are doing today ? Greatings from germany
@@Taubenseele The woman is still performing in a band called Precious Metal and the two guys (her two brothers - they're all siblings) followed in their father's trade - he was a professional piano tuner from Germany who moved to Canada and then to California.
@mschifvs My two favourite songs of the time !! Yes The Baby's is such a classic too .. and for a bit later .. Echo Beach from Martha and the Muffins ... arrrrrghhh such good vibes
Somehow Id say the studio camera men that day could give 2 hoots about equal facetime for all band members. I represent the let -down female viewers!! The brother of the group is very magnetic and handsome. Theres a reason he usually goes shirtless in his videos.
I'm surprised this flopped in America. It was a huge hit in Europe, South Africa (where I grew up), Australia and New Zealand. Was it a hit in their native Canada? Or did it sadly flop there too?
These guys almost single handedly saved pop-rock from it's inevitable demise into punkdom. They did themselves proud and as a true alt music fan, I never forgot just how good this song was and still is.
One of my favourites as well as Everytime I think of you. She sure looks like a wild lion with her wild hair do. But she still looks great and he's better looking blond than red haired.
The singer that sings this song, were they not twins? Why was her twin sister not singing on film footage on stage in the late 70's? If not, was she sick at the time? Was she expecting a baby? Was she suspended for a certain time or maybe to say, "committed a crime." I can now know they were both twins when I both saw them on film footage on stage for the first time. Maybe her twin sister got lucky to be welcomed in the music band- in that case then, congratulations.
Take me back to the 70’s ....immediately !!

This woman impresses me more in 3:35 minutes than all today's chicks for all time. . Feminine, no tattoos, no piercing ... natural beauty
end hooters
Has always impresed me with her two biggest assets
Crazy hair though
I was 8yrs when first heard this song.and never have I forget it. And today I'm 50
This is one of those songs for when you just want to be in a different world. rock on and scream the lyrics that are so simple, but still so deep…..

She really deserves a HD version of these video clips :)
Great rack from the 70s !!! Sorry, great track !
Ahhhh beautiful mamories… oh the singing is great also, very strong voice, must be the lungs!!
And wonderful boobs!
It's the helium they breathe in before they sing .
Eine geniale Komposition!
Promises finally made enough from this song to buy the guy a shirt
George Hobbs THIS.
If she was lady she would have gave him, her's! (NICE)

He looks better without his shirt on one spunky man 💛❤

Best song ever
Thanks for posting this video, as I have been looking for this song for ages after hearing it on the radio!
Fantastic, LOVE IT!!!!!
I remember dancing this to as an 8year old...in New Zealand
And they still are.
I had no idea this wasn't a hit in the US, they missed out big time :)
twice
@@Baskerville22 giggles
it wasn’t???? didn’t move to US until many years later. Guess they really missed out if they did not play it in US.
One the top 10 songs of the 70's .................and WOW..........what a body!! I'm in love! (I'm talking about the girl......)
LOVE THIS SONG
Damn. Leslie reminds me so much of a girlfriend I has in high school. Man, did I screw that up.
LOVE THIS GROUP ALWAYS
Mashallah. Great song, great singer; very pretty !
Can' t believe Lesley's lovely face. I hope she reads these comments on you tube.
The Girl, Leslie Knuar is still playing, her band Kanary, best real rock sound around
I allways loved her hairstile.
Never got that high!
Great song.
@mschifvs
My two favourite songs of the time !! Yes The Baby's is such a classic too .. and for a bit later .. Echo Beach from Martha and the Muffins ... arrrrrghhh such good vibes

Good old memories nice song

Ooo, special effects circa 1979
FANTASTIC, LOVE IT, COOL COOL COOL!!!!!!!!!
Great
Very cool song
Somehow Id say the studio camera men that day could give 2 hoots about equal facetime for all band members.
I represent the let -down female viewers!! The brother of the group is very magnetic and handsome. Theres a reason he usually goes shirtless in his videos.
great song en leslie is a real scream-queen!
I was 18 in 1978 but never heard this ? it coudn`t of charted.How did i miss this.
Toll👍👍👍
great
I still love lil` sister!!!
Little smile wouldn't hurt! LOL!
WHOPPERS!😃
Its well put song n the voices are uniquely their own. But theres a bit that does remind me of Philadelphia freedom by Elton John
I'm surprised this flopped in America. It was a huge hit in Europe, South Africa (where I grew up), Australia and New Zealand. Was it a hit in their native Canada? Or did it sadly flop there too?
0:36 - enough said!
Ahh the good ole 70's with the tight pants and camel toes...impossible to concentrate in school back then
Leslie....You are HOT!!! Great Song

@notverybrite I think that Leslie was injured in a car accident at one point but she is fine now and playing in a metal band called Kanary.
They ought to repeat all those great Szene shows with Thomas Gottschalk or release them on DVD.
Camel-toe, Rack with a kickarse tune. Don't get better than that. 8P
Laut meiner Recherche sind Sängerin und Keyboarder Geschwister und haben deutsche Wurzeln. Ihr Papa besitzt ein renommiertes Pianogeschäft in Hamburg.
love the zombie 70's audiences,,
Drugs
Top
I'm in Heaven and it's full of Leslies!
rock that Gibson...
At least the guy is wearing a shirt this time!
@Maxxxshop
What ??????
What are you talking about?????
Anyway ... great song .. and great memories !!!
A white version of Tina Turner. Would be one hell of a mad root as well.
Fuck, he's got a shirt on !!
yes but he lost his tie!
would love to see the original clip ...

Prachtig nummer, jammer dat het bij deze hit is gebleven.
@isafella1 . Yip a good set... :)
Music?.... What music? I didn't notice.
Great song.
What happened to them?
Putting their feet Up in Old aged nursing homes 🎶🧓🎸👴💊👴💉👴
I didn't know you could play polyphonic chords on a Mini Moog! Who knew?
Nice song but how many lipsync videos is there of it???
@roymeboy0 heard it? it's a watch me video, nice hooters
Why is he wearing a shirt?
@Countrygent100 Is there any truth to the rumor that Qantas and Virgin took inspiration for their lifejackets from her?
Unfortunately, her voice was so synthesized in the studio they could never perform this tune live.
I'm NOT surprised
@X8T8X
Lost in translation ;-)
thx
@TokyoXer *Blinks* Sorry? You were looking at her head???
@nerdflanders8710 Of course and still carrying a torch that is too hot to touch without gloves (wink)
singing bouncy (*)(*).
This are siblings! One hit Wonder.
They only sang that song one time out loud; in the studio.
yep, she's 52.
A great song, and a very nice raccoon on her head!
I wish she would look me up...
Don't get the attraction really...other than her singing!!
I read they were brother and sister and she bats for the other side. I'd try and turn her..
Den Friseur hätte ich verklagt
This was their breast song.
79 not 78. 79 79
The single was released in 1978, and the TV show "Szene 78" aired in 1978, too.
jesus , Excellent camel toe at 0.38
+philster611 If I was a camel I'd be constantly masturbating.
@@JesusC375 I have better eyesight.
fantastic lip syncing there
