He was the long-haired hippie who went into a country bar. They started a fight with him. To divert their attention and get out of the situation, he created the story. Great reaction!
Yes! One of Charlies best songs “Long Haired Country Boy”…..metal band Every Mothers Nightmare did a rocked out, sped up cover of it and it slays!
Was the hippie. The whole story was to make the people in the bar focus on green teeth, so he can escape
100% hippie in the deep south early 70's.
Check out Uneasy Rider 88. It kinda flips the script.
All I ever owned was four on the floor.
Dudes!!!! You both broke my heart not knowing what 4 on the floor meant 💔 😢
Same here!😒😒
I was ready to revoke their "Man Cards"!
God forbid they hear 3 on the tree 😂
You just lost another 25% of those watching the reaction.
To be fair four on the floor is an old school term
4 on the floor and a 5th under the seat..😂❤
LOL! yes EXACTLY!!
The song was by Connie Cato: Four on the floor and a fifth down under the seat.
It was a country bar in the middle of nowhere and he was the long haired hippie dude. They came in cause they knew the car wasn’t a local and it had that kinda stickers on it. He got out of trouble by thinking fast and running a story that distracted them.
A similiar song about a guy escaping a bar fight he couldn’t win is ‘Gimme Three Steps’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd a southern rock band, which means they were in between country and long haired rock back in the 70s, like CDB. The story is true though, one of the band my members was talking a bar with a woman and her boyfriend came in and was a big angry dude. .
Yes! React to Gimme Three Steps! Another story song.
I said 'SCUSE me...
"Lord I ain't gonna fight him over this cu nt"
Listen to Long Haired Country Boy!!! Had the privilege to see Mr Danials perform when he was 80 yrs old!!! What a show!!
So many common knowledge (at the time) references in this song are lost to present day listeners, but I never would have thought "four-on-the-floor" would be one of them, nor why he asked the bar tender for change for a dollar (to use the pay-phone). The social/political dynamic used to define the characters and defeat the antagonist was brilliant storytelling. It would perhaps have been helpful to have seen "Easy Rider" and you might like to react to Charlie's song "Long Haired Country Boy".
I am the long haired country boy, going on 70 years young. You really need to listen to " long Haired Country Boy"!
You definitely know they haven't heard of 3 on the tree.
Me either. Thankfully it wasn't a three on the tree
@jasonpeschke9574 I was about 5 hours behind you 😂
@@jasonpeschke9574 Funny thing is, that was considered a design improvement.
back in the day you had 3 on the tree and 4 on the floor. lots of old cars had 3 speed manuals that had the shifter on the steering column then when 4 speed manuals came out they put the shifter on the floor
This was fun! Don is more on point with this one! The whole spy story was a diversion so he could escape! Y’all had me cracking up! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
He had to bend to Don's version, but just couldn't. I was laughing too.
My dad knew Charlie for 45 years since they both came back from Vietnam. I grew up behind the stage at most of the places & Charlie is a true man of the people. always love how he can bring new fans even after he’s gone. RIP Big Daddy 🙌🔥🍻
I went so school with some of his cousins in Leland NC. He was always coming back to visit his Grandma
AMEN ❤ LOVED IT. I HOPE THEIR WATCHING US LOVING THEM ALL... TO ALL THE GREATS WHO HAVE GONE TO THE SPIRET IN THE SKY.
WITH LOVE FROM THAT OLD LADY WAS BORN IN MIDDLE 50'S. WOULDN'T CHANGE IT ...FOR THE HARD WORKING MUSICAL STORIES WE GOT.❤❤❤
Charlie Daniels gave a concert in Ct then afterwards gave a concert on my street... He even gave my 4 yr son his hat... When cops came to interfer they had no idea who he was... Charlie said Ill buy your jail and tear it down, to make room for a parking lot... Ive always lean towards this song being a favorite...
And you said you can drive a manual but never heard of a “four on the floor”? I’m an old guy, most manual transmissions were 4 speeds in the 60’s and 70’s. Here’s one that’ll blow your mind, there used to be a manual transmission that was called “Three on the tree”. Google that one in your spare time! 😊😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another Charlie Daniels classic is Long Haired Country Boy, I think you'll dig it. I'm enjoying the reactions. Keep em coming.
4 on the floor is a manual transmission and you have a clutch and the gear shift is on the floor and you have 4 gears. Y'all need to go to see car shows w 60 n 70 antique cars.
He was the hippie. He was lying in the story y'all 😂😂😂😂😂
Charlie was a country boy as well as a a joint smokin hippie. The peace sign, mag wheels, and 4 on the floor was his car. ❤
Need to listen to the original album version of “Long Haired Country Boy” next.
My take is he was the hippy. He accused the green teeth guy to distract the big guys so he could escape
He updated this song and did a version called Uneasy Rider 88. Would love to see you tackle that one! Much more relevant to today and sure does tell a story!
ya bro! you gotta do this one!
Love the 88 version. 😂
88 version is great
That song sucks, and is just trying to get a laugh out of homophobia.
I have always liked CDB but that song, to me was punching down.
I did a radio show back in the 80s, and always ended my show with Long Haired Country Boy.
@@mikemaricle9941yeah, it represents one of the counter-culture greats making a huge heel turn, post Reagan. He became a real piece of shit around that time.
Yeah the 88 version is good. He is a master storyteller try “The legend of Woolley Swamp” think you’ll dig it also. Also try In America. Also a son “Still in Saigon “ a very powerful song about PTSD and the Vietnam War. Really enjoy your channel.
Still in Saigon heart wrenching. Charlie so real and so unashamedly an American patriot.
I just have to say that grown men not knowing what "four on the floor" means just hurts my soul. I can understand Gen Z not knowing, they don't know anything, but older Millennials should know. It was a common term in the 80s and early 90s because we still had manual transmissions as a base option on most new cars and trucks.
Being 64. I broke my heart too!!!!!
It was very common in the 60s and 70s with muscle cars.
I still have a '91 Chevy Silverado stepside (from when a stepside had four, not two steps, so four people could stand around the bed of the truck and shoot the shite, with one foot propped up on a step). It has a 350 V8 and a 5-speed in the floor. I love my truck. Too bad my ex blew up the engine so I couldn't drive and catch him fooling around on me. I'd rather he'd just gone on and got out, and left my truck alone.
3 on the tree would throw them for loop
This is the second time I’ve watched your reaction am 62 years old. I know every word this song and it’s just so comforting to listen to kudos to your boys.
I'm 62 and I love Black Pegasus" reaction videos.
At the time this came out Charlie had long hair and his music wasn't played that much on country stations it was played on the rock stations {he was outlaw country}. The guys that came in were what we called Red Necks back in the day. Loved the reaction. You would really like " The legend of Wooley Swamp" or " Long Haired County Boy". Enjoy
YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT😊
I find it amazing that these guys have trouble figuring out this song, I understood it completely as a twelve year old kid! Different generations I guess!
In this song he is the hippy dude, he is traveling through the South (country boy territory). Let's not forget that he went into a "redneck looking bar" (The Dew Drop Inn). Yes was accusing "GREEN TEETH" of being a spy to get a chance to make a break for it. In the final line he asks if people would think he's crazy for going to L.A. (Southern California) through Omaha (city in Nebraska which is positively a Northern state). You really need to check his song "TRUDY".
I can recite this song. I loved Charlie. He was a sweetheart. My friend Taz was his keyboard player from the jump & later in years my friend Jack joined on the drums. My old bf (rest in peace) played for the Bellamy Brothers & they toured together. Mr. Daniels was the sweetest Southern Gentleman
lived next door to him and his wife for a year in Donelson, TN in the late 60's.He really was a good man.
Charlie was THE, Long Haired Country Boy! Listen to the song, Long Haired Country Boy.
Would love to see you guys reacting to Marty Robbins trilogy El Paso😊 Another truly great storyteller so much fun
Yes! Do the Trilogy! I love Marty Robbins. I think my favorite is "Pride and the Badge." Marty was one of the best storytellers ever. He had some wild songs too! Have you heard "The Chair" by Marty Robbins? After I finished listening to it for the first time I was like, what the heck did I just hear??? 😂
"4 on the floor" As opposed to a "3 on the tree" manual transmission shift lever mounting on the steering column. That's for us old school drivers that had to learn a clutch first...lol.
Charlie is the hippie in the story. He was trying to get to LA, California, through the racist south and he had a flat tire just past the Alabama/Mississippi line (in the 70s). He was trying to avoid a fight with all these big southern dudes. He had to think of something quick after his long hair fell out to get out of the place without getting beat up for being a hippie. So he did the only thing he could think of: he kicked the nearest one of the guys in the knee and then proceeded to lie about him not being a racist. George Wallace was the governor of Alabama who was against school integration. He was known for the "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." George McGovern was a candidate for president (as a racist democrat). Charlie said that he (Green Teeth) was put down here to infiltrate the KKK which was BIG in the south especially Mississippi around that time. He concluded that Green Teeth may look dumb (which he probably was) was a 'mastermind in the ways a espionage' and on top of that he may have a Pinko Commie Flag in his garage. A reference to the 50s McCarthy Red Scare. Even in the late 60s/early 70s there was real fear that Communists were infiltrating the US; this was how Nixon was elected president-by running on that fear. Remember we were still in Vietnam fighting the Communist Soviet Union.
While the group was distracted by starting to believe the hippie's story, Charlie was headed for the door to get out of ther as fast as he could.
Green Teeth was defending himself by telling his buddies that he was raised in the community. He was a faithful follower of Brother John Birch refers to the John Birch Society founded by Robert Welch. It was an extreme far right wing conservative, anti-Semitic, racist society of about 100,000 people at its peak in the 70s.
Hippie Charlie got out of there without a fight and decided to go further north (via Omaha, Nebraska) to continue his trip to LA.
One of my FAVORITE CDB song!
Nice job!👍
In the beginning of the song he said he slipped his hair up under his hat. He was the hippy with a peace sing on his car. He kicked & accused the billy guy so he could escape. He made the bully friends turn on their friend & the hippy ran.
I just found your channel this morning. Love it already. As a 41yo lifetime country listener, I laughed when y'all called Charlie a "long-haired country boy. Just so you know, he had a song by that name. Maybe give it a listen.
"4 on the floor" - refers to a four speed manual transmission that has the gear shift lever on the floor.....Old School street rods were quite often equipped this way.
Never heard of these guys before and know nothing about country, but this was 🔥
I about died when you guys didn’t know what 4 on the floor meant haha I love it . This is a great song flipping hippie 🔥🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼🐐🐐
Hey guys, "4-on-the-floor" is 1960s terminology for a 4-speed manual transmission with a stick-shift rising from the floor. In those days it was very popular with the performance car/racing enthusiasts. Charlie Daniels was also a member of the LA studio musicians group called "The Wrecking Crew", who played on almost every pop song you heard over the years.
OK, play his early hit Long Haired Country Boy….itll lay it out for you.
Man, you had me laughing. There are so many references that younger guys would not get without some advance explanation.
Been waiting for that one.I knew youd laugh your asses off.now you need to do uneasy rider'88
The best thing about this story is, from the stories I’ve been told by my dad and other old heads, this was a very likely scenario in the 70s/80s.
Love this song, CDB has a lot of great songs for sure.
This song came out in 1973, two years before the advent of the Outlaw music movement, Charlie became Outlaw country after this. Uneasy rider is sometimes considered a novelty song. But I’ve dug the shit out of for years!
Ha - I met a small town cop once who said he pulled over a car load of teenagers one night with beer in the car. He made them pour the beer out, and he was going to just send them straight home, but he also found a bottle of whiskey under the front seat. The kid who was driving went white and said, "Officer, the beer is ours, and we admit to that, but this is my daddy's car, and that's his bottle of whiskey. If it's not there when I get home, I'll be in even bigger trouble than I already am." The cop glared at the kid and made him swear that everyone was going straight home, and told him the only reason he was letting him go was "only because I know your daddy." LOL
Now you have to do Uneasy Rider 88! When I was a kid, this song and that song cracked me and my cousin up😂
Love you having a guest host! Four on the floor is a stick.
When he went into the bar he tucked his hair under his hat, you must listen fellas!
With you liking the hard rhymes, you really need to do Hank Williams, Jr's Born to Boogie. It has been labeled by some people as country hip hop. It's Hank's life story with hard hitting lines.
I hope y’all listen to that song all over again so you could get it. It is really funny.
I love this song I know all the words to this song…classic
In the bar, he was just saying whatever came to mind as a distraction so he could get to the door and run
There’s a second installment of that uneasy rider
Charlie was more of a rock and roller when he started out in music. He was also heading to LA, home of the hippies and he was a hippy. Everything about the bar was more on the conservative side back when this was written. Great reaction
Ironic part is he became such a conservative. He wouldn't play this song the last 20+ years of his career.
He in actuality was one of the three dudes that came strolling in.
Really goes to show how much people change.
Country songs, telling stories was very common.
Johnny Cash, Boy named Sue
Jim Stafford, Wild Wood Weed
Geaog Jones, He stopped loving her today
Ya'lls keep going this way. Next you'll be reacting to Trucker songs.
Charles Daniels Band - The Legend of Wooly Swamp
You can either have four on the floor or three on the tree
One of his classics! I got to see him play live once and it was a blast. *You gotta check out 'In America" and 'Long Haired Country Boy' by CDB.*
Four on the flour is a 4 speed manual where shifter comes through the floor. Three on the tree is a 3 speed manual on the column
😅 y'all killed me with this one. Charlie is the hippy. Don's story about the fighter was great.
The Legend of Wooly Swamp!!!!
Are you sure you’re from Colorado? Especially from Springs, with Bandimere Speedway there and The Pikes Peak Race. Those of us who were born in the 50’s and 60’s were Blessed with knowledge about cars and trucks that kids your age don’t know. Do You Guys know what a 4 Banger is? I drag raced a lot when I was a teenager. One of my Friends taught me how to run on a Dirt Track. I had a great car, 1959 Ford Galaxy 4 door. It was automatic (deceptive, I know), it had a Holley 4 Barrel and I had a Police Eliminator under the hood. Listen to the words of Uneasy Rider again and you’ll understand story. Charlie Daniels is a great storyteller, most of the older Country Music are usually great stories and the Country Artists are great storytellers.
Listen to the lyrics. He stopped at a "red-neck lookin' joint" He tucked his hair up under his hat, and he was the only one in the bar. Then some guy walked in wanting to know who owned the car. Only one car there. Charlies. When he tipped his hat "all that hair fell out from underneath"
He's the hippie. I'm sittin here, laughin my ass off
As always Y'all 👍👍 Please 🙏 if you want "bars" check out "Drinkin' my Baby goodbye" next! You won't be disappointed. Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸
Next you need to check out Uneasy Rider ‘88!!
I have personally gotten into a fight in Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night and this song means something to me
Wow!! So many years ago. Driving a 4 on the floor in a Chevy SS. Glasspacks, posi track and Crager mags. And i could speed shift too
1st verse i tucked my hair under my hat. Gave it to you boys pay attn now
good ol boys in Mississippi, didnt take kindly to men with long hair,, especially back when this song was written
We always added to the phrase “4 on the floor “ to “ 4 on the floor with a fifth under the seat”. Love your country reactions!!!
Easy Riders from 1969, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda &Jack Nicholson,they are headed to Louisiana for the Mardi Gras.
This is my favorite CDB song. I had it on 8 track. Yes. 8 track. Im old. We didn't have cassettes or CD's yet!!
There is nothing more fun than going thru the gears in a hot car with a 4 on the floor.
He was just saying what ever to get out of there in one piece
The peace sign is a hippie thing so he is the hippie and the guy with green pants was his way out safely.the green pants guy was being used as an escape. I'm 70 years old so I lived the 60's.
4 on the floor, a manual transmision with the shifter on the floor. 3 on the tree, a 3 speed manual with the shifter of the steering column.
Four on the floor definition is correct, just as an FYI if you ever hear "Three on the Tree" that refers to a 3 speed manual transmission with the gearshift situated on the steering column.
I'm so glad that you did a reaction to this before CDB gets cancelled.
Next up, Long Haired Country Boy from the same album!
Charlie Daniels never dissed a hippie in his life.
4 on the floor and what I learned to drive on a 72' Ford F100 with 3 on the tree. Dang I miss that truck.
4 on the floor was from early automotive terms, there were multiple transmission styles, even before an automatic. The two most common were 4 on the floor or 3 on the tree (the steering column) but the tree style got phased out as the floor allowed more room for more gears which results in higher potential speed and better fuel economy
I used to play barroom pool league for a 50 cent draft beer joint with cinderblock walls, plexiglass windows, and bare concrete floor with a drain in the middle. The memories of avoiding fights in that place.
You have to remember, a lot of this music was written from guy's returning from Nam. Country boys, that left listening to old Country, maybe some Jan and Dean, Beach Boys, They came back from very diverse interactions, to the sounds of BOC, the WHO, Led Zeppelin, ect.
Check out David Allen Coe and THE PERFECT COUNTRY WESTERN song.
Loved Charlie
There was an old joke about a guy that had a four on the floor and fifth under the seat!
Since you didn't know what a four on the floor was I'm hopeful you haven't heard this silly old joke before! Love your channel!
One of my fav's of theirs
Four gears on the floor shifter.❤
Don was right for sure on this one. He was the hippie.
Four on the floor means you've got a four-speed manual transmission. It made you change them gears and Pop that clutch! Lol! I can drive damn near anything. You don't know what a 3-speed on the column is? Look it up LOL. Love you guys. Y'all are the best.
Late to the party, but CDB is classic country story telling. Uneasy Rider is a glorious dig against both conformity and the ignorance of racism and racist people. Love your fresh insights to country classics!
LOVE
Got to see CDB do this live back in 1981, it was the first live concert I ever went too, my dad was a big CDB fan and they were giving away Skoal Bandit samples as you walked into the theater. Ah, the old days! Free snuff and cigarette vending machines literally everywhere back then!
A four speed with the shifter coming off the floor. Three on the tree is a three speed with the shifter on the column.
the essential Charlie D is the video of him singing Long Hair country boy'' video from the early 70's. Thats fire.
I'm from eastern NC. My mom was in grade school with Charlie Daniels. The best concert I ever saw was in the early 1980's when he came back to Wilmington NC and performed for 3 hours. He's another American treasure. Listen to " Carolina, I remember you". His poem to Ronnie Van Zant on that album, " Full Moon Fever" and that song can still bring tears to my eyes.
Great man and storyteller.
Back in the 70s, the country redbecks hangin' in dive bars were skeptical of long-haired peaceniks. Thought they were all commies, so they would whip them first and talk later. Outnumbered, he threw the one guy under the bus, even though he hadn't a clue about him. There were several references that I've sure y'all didn't understand. This was right my alley...graduated high school in mid-70s in the deep South, said reverently. Even made a trip to Tulsa across Mississippi and Arkansas right out of high school to see about s pretty girl. I can relate, but I had "white-walls" around my ears, but was afraid my old car would break down in the middle of nowhere. Cool reaction, guys. Keep listenin' and learnin'.
R.I.P. Charlie Daniels
Long haired country boy is another good one by Charlie Daniels
also uneasy rider '88
Thanks for playing that Brother I requested you listen to this also and they have a part 2 to this Brother 👍🏻
Charlie Daniels is the original rapper, fact, and blondie
Rhyme is as old as time... I see what you did there, smiling
Longhaired County Boy, Legend of Wolly Swamp
CDB is so fun! Saw them a few times back in the day.
Old country royalty musicians partied way harder than hippies. No contest.
Don’t forget to check out the updated version of uneasy Rider called uneasy Rider 88 where he takes another trip with a buddy
