I know a lot of revolutionary songs, but I had not heard this one. This is my new theme song for these trying times. The writer and original singer was Eliot Keenan. [Edit] I was misinformed about the name, it is Eliot Kenin.
I love this song SO MUCH! It's hard to find good recordings though so thank you for uploading this! Keep up the good work, comrade! Solidarity forever ✊🏼
absolutely love this song, it’s so light hearted and has a lot of fight and optimism in it, as a non American I also love the Southern US spice to the song you ain’t done nothing if you ain’t been called a red 🇺🇸🚩❤️🏴🚩
No but seriously, can I commission you to record just the piano accompaniment in a key that fits my vocal range and I pay you? I would like to use this for a stage performance.
I really love your singing and piano playing skills, I just wish the audio quality was better. There's a reverb feeling on the piano that makes me feel a bit dizzy. Have you considered getting better recording equipment like a mic with a pop filter?
Monsieur Jack, as a wobbly to another wobbly, I have a special request that may be of help to the working class. I am in the process of rewriting lyrics of older labor tunes to be more modern and some to more specifically target and call out workers of particular industries. I was wondering if you would be interested in playing/singing the lyrics? I am scouring my own branch for talent as well.
God this sounds so familiar, if anyone knows, please what is the original version of this song, like this is clearly better but I wont be able to sleep until I figure it out.
Idk if I am a communist, I'm more a socialist and against government having control over everything, but I agree with a lot of the things in this song, its just a really nice song. It both sounds nice and has a nice message. Bravo!
@@vitasomething Yes, but I am worried that society won't be able to maintain the peace for very long in an anarchist society. Many people only think about themselves :(
@@proto_arkbit3100 anarchism doesnt mean no rules or no social structure, in fact i think a horizontal federation with delagates for communities picked by lottery or consensus as anarchists often argue for would be a lot better at preventing opressive behaviour than any hierarchical system ever would :3
When I was just a little thing I used to love parades with banners, bands and red balloons and maybe lemonade when I came home one mayday my neighbours father said them marchers is all commies tell me kid are you a red? well, I didnt know just what he meant my hair back then was brown our house was plain red brick like most others in the town so I went and asked my mamma why our neighbour called me red my mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red When I was growin' up, had my troubles I suppose when someone took exception to my face or to my clothes or tried to cheat me on a job or hit me on the head when I organised to fight back why the stinkers called me red But you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if youv'e marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red When I was livin' on my own one apartment that I had had a lousy rotten landlord let me tell ya he was bad but when he tried to throw me out I rubbed my hands and said you haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red!

I got called a socialist yesterday because I advocated for free healthcare consultations. I’m not a communist, I’m an anarchist... Make of that as you will.
@@daniels0376 My answer is that I view it as an idealist dream, and not something which can or should be advocated in today's political climate. Communism would be great, but it will take many decades until we'll be even close to a communist society being possible. For the moment, we should focus on a transition out of capitalism through social democracy and democratic socialism.
I am very anti-communist myself, but this is fire. In fact, many of your renditions of these songs are likely the very best I've heard. I love how clean it sounds, with smooth and clear vocals and a lively accompaniment, simply beautiful. If this was on Spotify, I bet I'd be the top streamer, this song tickles me just right.
I’d encourage you to do some research on socialism from a socialist perspective.. I think you’d have a lot more in common with us than you’d initially believe.. I’ll be happy to point you in a decent direction

Oh, I'd like to suggest a song to you, "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier". It was the most popular song in America in 1915.
I’ve always loved this song but could only ever find one or two interpretations. This one is by far my favourite!
One of my favorites. Your version sounds awesome! Especially, the touch of the Internationale at the end.
a timeless classic

When I was just a little thing I used to love parades
with banners, bands and red balloons and maybe lemonade
when I came home one mayday my neighbours father said
them marchers is all commies tell me kid are you a red?
well, I didnt know just what he meant my hair back then was brown
our house was plain red brick like most others in the town
so I went and asked my mamma why our neighbour called me red
my mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said
Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
When I was growin' up, had my troubles I suppose
when someone took exception to my face or to my clothes
or tried to cheat me on a job or hit me on the head
when I organised to fight back why the stinkers called me red
But you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
if youv'e marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
When I was livin' on my own one apartment that I had
had a lousy rotten landlord let me tell ya he was bad
but when he tried to throw me out I rubbed my hands and said
you haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red!
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
if you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
'cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
Well I kept on agitatin', cause what else can you do?
you're gonna let the sons of bitches walk all over you
my friends said you'll get fired, hanging with that commie mob
I should be so lucky buddy, I ain't got a job
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
if you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
Well I've been agitatin' now for fifty years or more
for jobs or for equality and always against war
I'll keep on agitatin' as far as I can see
and if that's what being red is then It's good enough for me
'cause you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
if you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
