500...damn, that's a lot.

Am i the only one here bc of Wyatt Flores?

More people need to be made aware of history, nobody should be lied to, people need to know about this stuff!

They tell you how you should feel about it before you hear it. Remember that always.

My old elementary music teacher was fired for racism after playing this song😓

Эту песенку учили на уроке английского в 1962 году! До сих пор помню первый куплет и припев. Впервые слышу оригинал. Спасибо .

It is worth thinking about why the forbidden word became forbidden.

That 2nd verse sounds like me when i start playing warthunder

The Four Seasons (Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man, etc) predated the Young Rascals by several years. They - the Jersey Boys - were arguably the first big rock icons to come out of New Jersey, NOT the Young Rascals. No disrespect meant to the Rascals as they were fabulous. But they were not first.

I like coons, my momma always said, “get dat Broom an knock dim coons of dee porch”. I did jest lack she sad and dim coons found da back doe and dats de only place dat day could be fed, da back porch

As a white Susanna I find the racist lyrics not a good song, even not for the former centuries.

Theres literally nothing ist to this song. Its just one word he used and it didnt have that connotation. It was just used to describe them. The idea that the word is negative is recent. If we change a word in the dictionary can we also say people in the past meant different things?

I don’t understand the second verse or how it applies to the song? What exactly is the message?

One magical word…has so much power.

At the time this wasn't racist...

1848's certified hood classic 💀

Melody of country music: 😃🥰 Lyrics of countru music: 💀💀

Susanna was prolly his sister 💀

All they have to do is change the lyrics. Specifically, the ones with killing and the N word in it.

If history should be shown as it is then Jesus Christ is not your savor you are are your own savor. Imagine when more songs, books or other people there true story comes. It time for the true history to come out to the public.

a wonderful

Love this video. I have been going back into the Real Book recently trying to learn/relearn tunes and I love the format of this video. It's great to learn some context of the tune outside chord progressions and licks. Keep on keepin on, this stuff is great.

hes gonna mention these 3 but not the others especially Keith Relf

You NEED the 2nd Verse to Get the meaning of the Song!!!!!!

Am I crazy in thinking this isn’t even that bad?

Based

What I fail to understand? The name negro? 🧑🏿‍🌾It signifies a heritage. It obviously was never originally intended to mean something derogatory. Is what I mean. So? Why is it considered to derogatory? Now? Or why did🧑🏿‍🌾 the word “‘ negro” become a derogatory name? Over time? In the English🧑🏿‍🚀 lanquage? At least? Or race or lineage. You know?👨🏽‍⚖️ If it’s obvious that was never špoosed to originally be that way. See?🧑🏿‍🌾

As the first ten commenters have pointed out, (from here downwards), I never associated this song w/blacks. I thought it was about a traveling white man, just after The Civil War, when Southern Society had completely broken down & there was no organized way to travel from one place to another if one didn't own a horse, except the ol' fashioned way of "hoofing it."

0:58 why were the lyrics written the same way what he hated would’ve

History is there to be learnt from, not covered up in sugar cain.

Ms Sonny was my teacher at Benjamin Cardoza JHS 198 in Far Rockaway. She was so cool and really cared about us. She was an amazing teacher. She gave me my love for all music genres. I still have classic folk music in heavy rotation in my home because of her. She saw us and treated us with respect. I recall her sharing with us how she found her brother after his suicide. Even then she made it a teaching moment by cautioning us to “hang in there, it gets better and nothing was bad enough to end your life.” Great lady!!

Although I liked the Rascals, I thought the Four Seasons w/ Frankie Valli preceded them

I believe that "Bullgine" is pronounced Bull-Jine, not with a hard G, correct me if I'm wrong

Honestly, if the time it wasn't bad and for the time it was a shocking incident as it is now.

excuse me, how many he said die?

😅😅😅😅😅😅

Merry Christmas brad

Not sure what's racist about it.

OH Susana

History no matter how painful should be told as it is, else we forget and we make the same mistakes. There are hard lessons that were experienced in history that humanity is at risk of not knowing about due to the watering down of the harsh truths.

The title of this video broke me up

So what’s racist about this song?

Makes no sense at all. What the hell does “De lectric fluid magnified” mean and how did it lead to the death of 500 African Americans?

Wow. As someone whose ancestors owned slaves, anti black and brown racism is completely unacceptable!

Sheesh!

great channel, Jay! love your style

Dreadful pronunciation! This needs re-recording, using a Brazilian speaker.

Yes it should be just like history say's... however in today's bullshit 🐂💩 WOKE World the idiots who can't face the facts...or as once said in the Place of the Cuckoo 🤪.. "You can't handle the truth" 😄😁.. Folk's we all of sound minds read and most all people agree with the Americans that just listen and watch everything that is happening. As per the quad gazillions that voted. Just keep doing what you're doing and America will be back to where we can live in paradise 💞☘️

Great band
