This song is one of those songs that you remember from my teenage years. Love it and play it often, just have to hear it, so good! Thanks Lovin´Spoonful! 💜💜💜💜
Keep going man, There's so much other great music out there my parents hooked me up with as a child, I am so very lucky... And I was 16 years old in about 2003.... All of this is way before my time but it's still the sound of my childhood....
a few years ago I discovered rock n roll for the first time in guardians of the galaxy vol.2 movie and from then my whole music taste changed. u got great taste of music man
There's a treasure trove of music from that era like this and better. Funny thing...oldies all of a sudden becomes "cool" to my grandkids when one of today's groups gets their version on the radio. Then I explain to them that the REAL song was created before their parents were born. :)
When I hear this song, it brings me back to July 1966 where temple I'm NYC rose above 100° !!!It was a relief when temperatures dropped between 89-90 ° @ night!!!!
Ahhhh yes - packing up the family in LA to drive to the beach for the entire day and we kids got to listen to our rock in the car. Thanks mom and dad - awesome memories!
This was a HUGE hit in '66 and rightly so. "Rock" music was evolving very rapidly with new sounds, recording techniques, lyrics and melodies every week; these guys were pioneers in many ways. We liked how they looked and sounded as much as The Byrds, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Mamas and Papas, etc.
Love love love this song since the time it came out to the present day. So many great bands back then and so few now. It was great to be growing up in the 60s and 70s I’d give anything to go back for a week!
I am 68 and I remember when disc jockeys programed their own music, it was great , we would listen to AM Radio all day and night, Top 40 WHB Kansas City Missouri, life was great in the 1960s other than Vietnam and The Race Riots
I had my mom play this on the phone as I was in the hospital in Chicago. I just watched the city and was good for discharge the next day! Power of music!!!
I probably didn’t hear this song till about 1993 when I was 8 and going through my mother’s cassettes but it still makes me feel nostalgic about an era I didn’t even live through. I played this over and over, it’s just so fun.
Jeez bro .. You sure about your age ? Math's point to the fact you must be 151 years old . lol. That said, I'm just a youngster at 70yrs old , but this great song has always been a favorite. Peace and Love .
I love the old videos showing the bands actually playing the instruments and really singing the song! Nothing faked. Ok maybe the car horn was a recording. The era of true artists is gone.
You might like those old videos but this isn't one of them. .Notice there is no cord coming from the guitar. There are no visible cords, microphones, or amplifiers. At 1:13 Sebastian looks around as if to say, "How do I fake this part?"
Happy Summer Solstice! This band is SO underrated and doesn't get talked enough today. I remember this song very well and I know it was featured in a car commercial that I saw on TV years ago.
Just wow!!! I was 17 in August 1966.We were driving around in a 1959 Impala convertible,top down and 95 degrees in the middle of a heat wave! This came on the tinny sounding AM radio and all of us in the car simply loved it.That was an era of simply magical music. Coming from every genre.The Beatles,The Rascals,The Byrds,Kinks,Beach Boys,so many more who can count! That doesn’t even begin to star talking about the Motown Sound.We had no idea how lucky we were to have the experience of listening to such groundbreaking music,it truly helped us cope with a world full of war,race riots,assassinations etc.We really need it now
13 yrs old, fell in love with Barbara whilde who went to Sheffield from widnes Lancashire (Cheshire) never seen her since. Ar well young love ❤. Brilliant tune and captured the moment forever.
I don't know why I always come back to this song, every few month's I return to this song! It's like it's in my mind. And Im Born in the 80's when the crack babiez where around. 😎💡🙊🌀
Such a shame that great music like this is dying! If you like this definitely check out 'This Summer' by Syd Sister. We need to find a way to bring good music back!!
@Vikki Dawson Don't worry Vikki. I've great belief in musicians young and old. There has always been great music and there always will be great music. We've always had to put up with mediocre and bad music but we don't have to buy it or listen to it. Some people have sensitive ears. If I hear bad music I usually just switch it off at the source. I'll have a listen to your suggestion.. Syd Sister.
You must understand that culturally music is no longer the centre of people's lives as it once was. Nostalgia will never bring it back just as it'll never bring back your youth. Just accept that kids today don't regard it as crucial as you do
When they played this song at the beginning of Die Hard with a Vengeance! They're showing New Yorkers getting ready to start their day. Then, there's an explosion and it's quiet in the background. Love that franchise!
Like fine wine, this song hasn't aged a day. I was 15 when it came out. Loved it then, love it now. I even remembered the lyrics! It should become the theme song for climate change.
Holy cow this song is killer. Heat wave coming and my birthday in a week. Sometimes, I don't need drugs to make me happy. For a person who is always cold. I feel like I should be dancing on the rooftops with this news. Happy Summer. Woot woot.
One of the many cool tunes I heard as a kid in summer day camp thanks to the bus drivers playing the radio.
60s & 70s music will never be the same it was greatest pleasure to grow up in them days.
just like the music of the 80s and most of the 90s
John Sebastian wrote some of the very best songs of the Classic Rock era.
I could live perpetually in the 60's and 70's.
These guys performed at our high school as they were taking off. I was in the 8th grade. Good memories. My very first concert.
Congratz on your 80th birthday, John Sebastian!!!🎉
This song is one of those songs that you remember from my teenage years. Love it and play it often, just have to hear it, so good! Thanks Lovin´Spoonful! 💜💜💜💜
Perfect for these days.
I somehow found this in 2016 at 16 years old
Good music doesn't get old 💯👌

There are no artists today that can sing/wright lyrics like this anymore.
I’m a 2000 baby but love this song as much as my grandma
When I hear this song, it brings me back to July 1966 where temple I'm NYC rose above 100° !!!It was a relief when temperatures dropped between 89-90 ° @ night!!!!
Every time I hear this, I don't care if it's summer or dead of winter, I can still feel the heat of that summer long ago.
me too...driving down the Parkway to the Jersey Shore!!!
Whenever I see a greasy hobo that back of my neck feelin dirt n gritty line pops in my head
There is no greater time machine known to man than music
Cool cat, looking for a kitty...one of the best lines ever ❤
No strobe lights, no flashing lights, no laser show, no smoke - just good music!

I was of an age to really let this song plant its awesome musical seed....car radios were so cool back then am/fm.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Man, I was young when this came out and I still remember every single word!🥰💯
Had an obsession with this song as a kid in the 90s, ahh the memories 🥰

im born 66. shared with my older sisters one room. they played all the time their music . so i grew up with those... still love it
I was 93 when this song came out. I was digging it back then, and still do to this day
Jeez bro ..
You sure about your age ?
Math's point to the fact you must be 151 years old . lol.
That said, I'm just a youngster at 70yrs old , but this great song has always been a favorite.
Peace and Love .
@@paddy.7784 I just turned 152 yesterday! Feeling great
What's your secret to such a long life? LOL! 😂😂😂
One of the best songs of this late '60s and well into the the newer age it's a classic that's bound to be a favorite of mine for all times

These shows the artists lip synced to the record.
I’m from the year 2139 and confirm this is still a great song even at age 157 still makes me groove.
😂
Please tell me things are better then!!! That rock music has a revival and its all anyone listens to…
Brilliant songwriter Mr Sebastian and such a relaxed open-hearted, generous presence
Happy Summer Solstice! This band is SO underrated and doesn't get talked enough today. I remember this song very well and I know it was featured in a car commercial that I saw on TV years ago.
I had an album of theirs and every song on it was magical! Love them!
My 1st 8 track tape was by them! Love all the songs but this was a favorite.

I have always loved this song.
This song was number 1 when I was born in August 1966. Wow 😳
2024 & this is still a catchy song for me!
Wham, wham - my adolescence and we danced, danced. Listening to American Pie, music was never the same since "the music died"
I’m 11 but this song is so good I love the tunes and the vibes
Agree
Keep checking out music from this era. You're sure to find more that you like.
I found this song after like 10 years, my parent would always listen to it and they even forgot the name. So happy I found it
masterpiece 😍🙂. I love it 😁
Listening to this song in 2022. Yes.
God, this is a great tune, especially the way it starts.
The summer I was 19, and first time out on my own in San Francisco. . It was dangerous (got mugged) hot and gritty. This song became my theme .
Back when music was great and meaningful
Love this song. Memories…..
Best days,EVER.
Happiest birthday John sabastian x❤
I like their hair and cloths!
it brings back memories when i was young
Simpler times huh
Still The Best ❤
found this song from a 60s music informercial almost a decade ago. love it!
Blows my mind how it will be years since I've heard a song and yet when I hear it I am able to sing all the words to it.
and meanwhile can't remember what I had for breakfast
They were an amazing band, John Sebastian was a great songwriter.. They were a favorite from the Sixties and will always be..
Beautiful !!!!!
13 yrs old, fell in love with Barbara whilde who went to Sheffield from widnes Lancashire (Cheshire) never seen her since. Ar well young love ❤. Brilliant tune and captured the moment forever.
I was 2 when this song was released. Love it! Then many years later John Sebastien did Welcome Back another favorite!
If I could go back to 1966 in a time machine I would and never return to 2022
True Story!
CAN I COME WITH YOU, PLEASEEEEE.
Fracking magnificent.
The song was way before its time.
Also @01:31, I’m gonna bring those sideburns back!
Can’t get enough ❤
How could anyone possibly NOT like this song. I was 10 when this came out and I've loved it since then.
Epic! I was 13. Loving memories

Brings me back Memories Love this tune.
intemporel
chanson d'été pour l'éternité

Nashville Cats was one of the first Country Rock songs along with Gram Parsons during that time.

I found an LP vinyl of this in my attic. Listened to it for the first time. Absolutely love it.
Ahh...A blast from the past!💕Sweet

j avais 15 ans super chanson
good honest rock. brilliant.
Great song! 👍😊👏
Oh...Summer in the 60s! It takes me right back there
I love how much fun they’re having.
My fav part of the song is But at night it’s a different world go out and find a girl
Just watching Dudes and there smiles cuz they know they made an awsome song
The SIxties had the best groups and songs!
Love that 60's groove!
I wish it was 1966 still I was 5 years old and I remember this song being played on radio…
I'd go back in a heartbeat.
How in the world can this song be 55 years old!
Back when artists didn't sell their souls to make a song.
First time I heard this was on Detroit Top 40 Powerhouse CKLW on AM from 100 miles away! Some of the best Rock out there was on CKLW!
Such a shame that great music like this is dying! If you like this definitely check out 'This Summer' by Syd Sister. We need to find a way to bring good music back!!
Just because music has become that bad we realize how good the 60's actually were, don't we?
👏🏼
This Summer is so unsixtys xD

THAT SUMS UP LIFE.
Like fine wine, this song hasn't aged a day. I was 15 when it came out. Loved it then, love it now. I even remembered the lyrics! It should become the theme song for climate change.
I like the music back in the early days the singer's took there time and made music
I loved soul train American band stand
Awww they look so happy!!
super groupe des annees 60
Holy cow this song is killer. Heat wave coming and my birthday in a week. Sometimes, I don't need drugs to make me happy.
For a person who is always cold. I feel like I should be dancing on the rooftops with this news.
Happy Summer. Woot woot.
This was #1 week of August 15 1966! Happy birthday fellow August baby 🎉
@@lisaatkins9797 get the heck out. That's awesome. Happy birthday to you, too.
I agree with Channel below, as this was one of the finest songs from the 60'' s.
Back when music was good..60s through early 80s..
GREAT DAYS.
Great!
