People just never seem to get tired of this song . Including me.
Canada rocks !! 🤙🏻🇨🇦
.......why?. "the GUESS WHO" had a LOT to do.w/Canadian RockNRoll, ROCK, HARD ROCK Hard POP-ROCK etcetera...!!
I do not get tired of it, been listening to it since it was new. I am now 70 years old. First time I heard it was on a 8 track in my 1968 Camaro SS.
Another true rock band that deserves to be in the RRHOF! Randy Bachman had BTO as well as The Guess Who and neither has ever been inducted. It’s a disgrace that his accomplishments in rock and roll have been ignored.
70’s BTO kicked ass!
B.T.O. has a lot of fun songs. "Hey You", "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", "Roll On Down The Highway".......
I love "Hey You!" Forgot all about that song!
When I ever get bored and dont know what to listen too…I alway go for BTO
Saw them in 74 in Toronto,great show.
Let it ride
My wheels won't turn, is a good one🙂
I was in HS in the 70's and one of our teachers was late getting to class he said he was taking care of business and of course the entire class started singing the opening guitar riff,the teacher had a stunned look on his face.
An iconic song from an iconic group of the 70's generation. It can get you pumped for a hard day's work no matter what your job is. Love BTO.
First rock n roll song my oldest son ever liked. He was only about 3 yrs old and would go around the house singing it all the time. Now, at 52, he sings all kinds of rock classics with his band.
One of my favorite bands. Basically the song is about not doing the whole 9-5 grind for work. Being in a band and basically working for yourself. Taking care of business. You really hear it in the line It’s the work that we avoid cause we’re all self employed. We love to work at nothing all day. Living the rock star’s dream.
This song won me over the first time I heard "Look at me I'm self employed, I love to work at nothing all day".
I love that line too
This song was used as the theme of Office Depot for years.
Funny how people don't listen to any of the lyrics beyond Taking Care of Business. It's about being a lazy musician who doesn't want an office job or any other job that takes effort.
@@vandalayindustries3057 You are probably correct. I do not know for certain, I just remember it being an office supply chain.
@@CaptWalker Not Home Depot.
@@alukuhito Randy's father was the inspiration for the line "I love to work at nothing all day". Basically his father thought he did exactly that, only working at night and lazing around during the day but in fact he was writing songs, rehearsing etc. Never "not working', really.
@@incensejunkie7516 Oh.
Vale Robbie Bachman
Robbie passed away a few days ago. aged 69
Robbie was BTO's Drummer during their 'heyday' in the 70's.
He played on all their Hit songs and albums.
BTO were a great Band and Robbie was a great Drummer.
RIP mate.
Love the music of Canadian bands in the seventies Rush, Trooper, BTO, The Guess Who, April Wine, Triumph and so many others that I listened to religiously all through my high school years. 😊
Ironic that this comes out of the same livestream as "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature", since this is Randy Bachman's band *after* he left The Guess Who. (Who kept on well enough without him for several albums.)
Randy doesn't have Burton Cummings's supple voice, but he's powerful enough, and his guitar work is still excellent. You could even alternate songs from the two groups, as you've accidentally done here.
Facts!
Great comment, great suggestion.
I always wondered if the "815" lyric was coincidence or not.
And Burton Cummings went on to do some pretty great stuff in his own right!
The voice you hear most of the song is Fred Turner. Gritty.
The Bachman brothers lived in New West BC in the early 80's and I ran into Randy a few times. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to music and especially guitar riffs. Amazing musician
I'm glad you guys covered this! My wife and I flew from Houston to Toronto, Ontario Canada in July 2022 to see him and Burton Cummings (they were in The Guess Who together. This was the first song I danced to with a girl back in 1974 when I joined the Air Force!
One of my favorite BTO songs. Check out Roll On Down the Highway.
It was on the commercials for either Staples or Office Depot, you've for sure heard it before.
The lead singer, Randy Bachman did a holiday version of this called "Takin' Care of Christmas" that is a lot of fun!
If there's one thing the Staples office supply store chain did for the world, it's put this song in their commercials.
All the young kids are like "I've heard this song somewhere!"
one of my favourites from bto - blue collar. completely different vibe from them great for cruising or sunsets with whiskey.
With a Not Fragile chaser to show the third style of BTO, which had many styles, but Blue Collar is glorious too.
TH-cam channel Professor of Rock does a great dive into the background of this song. He had an awesome interview with Randy Bachman and the story of the pizza delivery guy who played the piano on this tune.. And ya, like others have commented.. I've heard this song probably 1000 times. It never gets old.
That story about the pizza guy is a total fabrication by Randy. Randy tells a lot of stories that are just not true.
Norman Durkee was a studio musician working in the other room and the engineer suggested that he play some piano on the song. He did write some notes on a pizza box to help himself craft the piano part that he plays on the song.
Some of the movies "Takin' Care Of Business" has been used in are Daddy Day Care in 2003, A Knight's Tale in 2001, Last Night in 1999 and Major League 3 Back to the Minors in 1998.
You’re putting out stuff faster than I’m able to watch - and no, I’m not complaining!
Another good one by Bachman Turner Overdrive is ,,ROCK IS MY LIFE AND THIS IS MY SONG ,,,,,
Heck ya! Another Canadian band :)
of course you know randy bachman was in the guess who as well :)
This song is as classical as any song gets. It's been in everything.
Randy originally wrote this song in 1968 when he was in The Guess Who, he called the song "White Collar Worker" which sounded a bit like The Beatles "Paper Back Writer", not wanting to get sued by The Beatles for ripping off their song, Randy decided it just wasn't good enough to be recorded by The Guess Who, so he put it to one side. When B.T.O. were recording their second album B.T.O. II, they were short of a song, Randy remembered the "White Collar Worker" song that he wrote five years earlier, while he was listening to the radio when the DJ said he was "taking care of business", Randy thought that was a great title for his "White Collar Worker" song and the rest as they say is history.
My kids (now adults) and I sing this as “Baking carrot biscuits.” Can’t remember which kid started it.
🤣🤣
That is the best!!!
Many people seem to do reaction videos to this song by BTO and also "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". However, "Roll On Down The Highway" is a bit of a gem which people seem to miss.
Yeah they use this for office Depot for commercial
THREE Canadian bands in one day! Rush, Guess Who and BTO. So proud to be a 🇨🇦 who grew up in the 70’s!!
Just had to edit as I noticed Lex’s Canada hat 💕
Brad is also in love with Alanis Morrisette. Wait until he does some Sass Jordan, Alana Myles, Carol Pope, Amanda Marshall, Holly Woods, Darby Mills, Lee Aaron, Bif Naked, Serena Ryder, Joni Mitchell etc.
At the end of the 70s I was exactly twice as old as I was when the 70s began. What a great time to begin listening to and appreciating music!
Been used in dozens of things -- movies, tv shows, commercials et cetera.
they played at my high school in the 70s, good times
This song has definitely been in movies.
This is what Wikipedia says:
"Takin' Care of Business" has been used in multiple television shows and films, giving the song more recent popularity. It inspired the
title of the 1990 comedy film Taking Care of Business, for which it was the theme song, and has been used in many other films,
starring with Body Slam (1986), as well as major films like The Spirit of '76, The Replacements, A Knight's Tale, About Schmidt, Two
Weeks Notice, Daddy Day Care, as well as the documentaries Inside Job and 20 to 1. It has also appeared on many television series such as The Wonder Years, Quantum Leap, That 70s Show, American Dad!, The Simpsons, The Sopranos, King of the Hill, My Name Is Earl, Parks & Recreation, Arrested Development, Cold Case, Men of a Certain Age, Supernatural, and Hawaii Five-0. It also appeared twice on the Cartoon Network show Regular Show, in the episodes "Tent Trouble" and "VIP Members Only". Also in Tom Greens "Subway Monkey Hour" as he performs it in a street. The song "Takin' Care of Business" was also used in the commercials for Office Depot stores, which used the name of the song as the chain's slogan in the 1990s.
A small excerpt of a cover version by Thunderpussy was used in the 2019 film Fighting with My Family.[15]

I was going to comment that this song has been used in many movies/TV shows/commercials and trailers, but you did a much more eloquent job.
Also in one of the TMNT films.....
Not only a good song but a great early 90s low budget comedy movie with the same title!!
Soooooo much Canadian content lately... LOVE IT!!!! 🤩😍🥰 Thank you!!!!
When I played baseball, this was my walk up music, me at the plate taking care of business. 😉
I love how Lex "feels" like this song was used in a commercial or movie. LOL, yeah, only maybe a million of them. Love you guys.
Welcome back to Canada, folks.
This song is so popular and pervasive in society that a Hollywood movie was made, using the song and its title, starring Jim Belushi.
I never get tired of this band! Any song. Glad to see you reacting to more BTO.
Piano on this song was played by Little Richard. Classic 1970's Canadian Rock & Roll.
I heard in an interview with Randy Bachman, that the pizza delivery guy played the piano in this song. It was the finishing touch, but they never got his name, or were ever able to track him down later to give him credit for his contribution to the song.
This is a total BS story invented by Randy Bachman. Norman Durkee played the piano part and he was in the next room in the studio laying down some tracks. The sound engineer convinced Randy the song needed some piano and to get Norman from next door to give it a shot. Norman Durkee was really pissed that Bachman lied about his part in the song.
They used to play this during timeouts at NBA/Pacers games in Indianapolis generally when the home team was on a roll with scoring and TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS on the court.
I'm wondering if you knew, Randy Bachman, who is the writer/singer here, was the co-writer guitarist of No Sugar Tonight /New Mother Nature from the previous reaction.
Randy and BTO making Winnipeg proud of all of you.
Home grown and bread on the prairies!!🇨🇦
I played this song on my Walkman while we were crossing the minefields into Kuwait during Desert Storm. To this day I can still see my driver rocking out to this. What was the worse that could have happened, it'd all be over in a flash!!! GREAT TUNE!!
Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South Florida! BTO is a little before my time. But the older kids in my neighborhood had a band, and they played this song. We thought they were Rock superstars. Looking back though they were pretty bad. Have a great weekend guys! God bless you! Peace!
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
Great roller skating tune when I was in high school
If you guys love Canada so much, you're welcome to visit.
Hell, yeah, c'mon up! I mean, heck, yeah! Sorry. 🤭
As a Canadian, I've heard this song a million times. However, it's been played in various movies and TV shows including The Simpsons.
This Canadian group knows how to rock. Gimme Your Money Please, Blue Collar and Let It Ride are worth a listen. Many of their songs are bangers and are good driving music.
Brad & Lex, their "Roll On Down The Highway" is next for you!! You've done their 3 best songs imo. edit- love the piano also! I read the piano was played by the pizza delivery man.
Here’s the story: th-cam.com/video/VQYzFlAVOLY/w-d-xo.html
Randy Bachman did a whole album of stories behind his hit songs called Every Song Tells a Story.
That was a mischievous prank that BTO had fun spreading. The reality was there was a prominent Studio piano player named Norman Durkee I believe and he was recording Jingles next door and the studio Tech for BTO noticed that and asked if he could come over and lay down a piano track real quick. Cuz they thought it needed a banging piano and so the guy only had a few minutes and they wrote the cords out on a pizza box and then he recorded it in one take.
@Steve where did you get the “real” story?
@@stevedahlberg8680 Thank you. The delivery man story sounded too good to be true! LOL
I KNEWWWWWW THAT YOU KNEW IT, PROBABLY JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS B.T.O :)
HEYYYYYYYYY, YOU'RE DOING THIS, RIGHT ON, YAYYYYYYYYY!!! :) TIMELESSSSS CLASSIC
Yeah, one of the most recognizable songs in the history of music!
I think they got this song in the Guinness book of record for most guitars playing one riff.
Ex Guess Who (Randy Bachman) formed this group
On BTO's "Not Fragile" album the band has an instrumental song titled "Free Wheelin' " that's just BAD ASS.
I never tire of BTO or of your reactions! Another great job, guys.
Earn that money 💰!!!!
This reminds me of a great Simpson’s episode where this band is on stage trying to play new stuff and Homer keeps yelling at them to play ‘taking care of business’ 😂 ‘workin over time work out!
Interesting that this was uploaded right after the Guess Who. Randy Bachman in the Guess Who started working on this song while he was still in the Guess Who but finished it with BTO and like everyone says, it's been in television and movies presidential campaigns everything. It was on The Simpsons, it was the theme music for Office Depot in the 90s, just everywhere. And the saying is older than that because Elvis said it all the time before that. In fact he had all these rings made up that said TCB and handed them out all the time and in fact he called his backing band The TCB band. Aretha Franklin also referenced the phrase and her hit RESPECT.
Lex, "Little Gandy Dancer" and "Hold Back the Water" are 2 of their best that no one reacts to. We seem to have similar music tastes so I think you will like them. Hi Brad.
I remember when you are young and hear this song great song
Burton Cummings singing was the “soul” of the Guess Who, but Randy Bachman’s guitar playing was the “heart.” Burton even said the Guess Who weren’t as good after Randy left. Randy & Burton fought over the music all the time, so he quit & formed BTO & played the music he wanted to play. & we were all the better for it. 🎵🎶🎸😎👍
It's appropriate that Lex is wearing a Canada toque because this is basically our national anthem.
You just did guess who and now you did BTO some of the same musicians
Another great Canadian band! Bachman was in The Guess Who as well!
The guitarist Randy Bachman is the guitarist in the band The Guess Who
The movie Takin’ Care of Business with Jim Belushi was a pretty good comedy.
Tie my hair in a bun, strong black coffee bong and this song turned UP just before i'm ready to scrub the toilet lol but woot to this song as i do!
I remember Office Depot used this song about 4-5 years ago in commercials.
I have to say her air guitar was spot on!❤
yeah this is like one of the most well-known classic rock songs of all time and that is saying a lot - you have to have heard it in ads - it's been in a million ads, movies etc...
Randy Bachman who is singing and playing guitar in this song was in the Guess Who which you just reacted to. He co-wrote the No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature song you just reacted to. After he left the Guess Who he started this band. They were huge in the 70’s. All over the radio back then.
Oh I really wanted to hear what Brad thought about the song!!!!
Lex: really like the hat!!!!
Proudly 🇨🇦
Stay safe, stay sane, stay Strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
of course you're a Canadian falling for the propaganda re: Ukraine.
Straight outta Winnipeg, Manitoba. Randy Bachman on guitar was a guitarist in the Guess Who as well.
Lex you nailed it--this song was used for a long time by one of the big office supply chains in their commercials. I forget if it was Staples or Office Depot, but they used this song for a long-running ad campaign.
Hello Brad and Lex, I'm Andrew. I've had so much fun watching you guys discover all the amazing blues based HARD ROCK from the 70's and 80's. I'm sure I speak for a lot of old rock'n'rollers, but watching you guys brings me back. Brad, I love your appreciation of, and your desire to understand the lyrics. If you are not sure what a hard rock song is about, it's usually sex or rock lol. Like Highway to Hell, it's about doing 5 world tours in 5 years, simple as that. so Highway to Hell is about rock. Lex, you have a hard rock sole for sure! I know when you are gonna groove on a song, and I love it when you find all the hooks. I feel the same! I am Canadian, so BTO right up there with me. My #1 is AC/DC, I've seen them 12 times, best two hours of the year every year lol! If there's a hard rock group that appeals to you both lyrically and musically it might be Nickleback. They are Canadian, hard and fun. Most of there songs are light hearted, but the first one I will suggest is has a dark subject. Brad, the lyrics are clear and powerful, and no mistaking what the song is about. Lex, this song kicks butt! There's no solo, but you might not miss it. I know how much you love the solo's lol. The song is "Never Again" by Nickleback, enjoy!
We used to dance 'The Alligator' to this tune in the early 80's.
Lex. You are the cutest little thing reacting on these oldies. Keep your delightful spirit. Brad, you seem like a very mature young man. You guys do a very good job. God Bless you in your lives and may the Lord Bless your lives!!
Whenever he was on tour or in the studio, Elvis would tell everyone he was "Takin' care of business". He even had a big gold ring with TCB that he wore on stage. That's where Randy Bachman got the idea for this song.
I strolled through the comments and was surprised that nobody mentioned that this song was originally called White Collar Worker and was rejiggered into TCB by Randy before they recorded it. I thought maybe Lex was joking around with us when she talked about white collar workers...
This is one of my top rockers of all time. Great message, too. Might be one reason I have my own business.
Thanks for the reaction.
Back before they slimmed down they were known as Bachman Turner Overweight.
Randy Bachman's former partner in The Guess Who, pianist-vocalist Burton CUmmings, had even more hits on his own than BTO had, in the 1970s and 80s.
DO try "My Own Way to Rock", "Stand Tall", "A Song for Him", and "Charlemagne". Burton is a great Blues-Rocker.
You guys like Bruce Springsteen. Check out Jungleland live from NYC. Or, rosalita or badlands.
Randy Bachman is a really nice guy. Had or has a radio programme on CBC radio called vinyl tap. Talks about and plays music from the 50s to current and all the background and backstory about the music biz. Very entertaining show. Should still be able to hear it and it is worth listening to.
In Canada in the 70's they had a rule where i think it was 50% Canadian content,well to say the least it got over played.This was my the first concert in 74.Side note,the piano was put because of a guy delivering pizza at the studio,they said down the hall,Steve Miller was recording,the pizza guy could play,he slayed it on one take.
Canada is extremely socialistic, leaning heavy towards communism. A law was made years ago that in radio a certain amount of Canadian music MUST be played, regardless if it was good or not. Our now communistic government is passing a law to do this to the internet...pushing the "government approved" content only...and it's only going to get worse!!!
I never realized how incredible this song is when I was a kid. But hearing it again after I've had and sold my own business brings new meaning. I do love to work at nothing all day!
Takes me back to dancing to this on New Years Eve in San Diego in the 70s
LOVE LEX ROCKIN' THE CANADA CAP WHILE LISTENING TO CANADIAN ROCK ICONS BTO! CHECK OUT ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY, HEY YOU, AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET, BLUE COLLAR, LOOKING OUT FOR #1 ETC.
Rolling on down the highway in a 68 Mustang, blasting the stereo, listening to the pounding beat of an American V-8 . Lady with a halter top rolling a doobie in the front seat. Sweeet
Back when it was cool to hitchhike without no worries.
Lex, you probably remember this from the Office Depot commercials.
Yet another song covered by an old band I was in. Great groove and lyrics - yeah it never gets old. Brad & Lex keep getting hits.
You two are making a lot of Canadians happy today including me ✌🇨🇦❤ can I suggest that on Canada Day July 1st that's our celebration you can do a Canadian segment on our entertainers. Thanks ❤ ✌ 🇨🇦
Ever since that one American Dad episode, I can only think of Stan Smith when I hear this song 😂
