Totally agree, late 60s to late 80s, but being a jazz fan I do agree with another in this thread that the 50s started a lot of it, but the 30s and 40s had great jazz, swing and big band. 90% of the forward progress, talent and creativity stopped almost exactly at 1990, as rap and grunge.took over. SO depressing.
@Jay, I loved the 1970s, but I was kid too. I thought for a long time about how the world seemed so much nicer and more stable then, but I realized later that history shows the world was pretty messed up then in a lot of ways. There were horrors like famine in Africa, war in Vietnam, the Cold War, gasoline crisis, racial tension and injustice, slavery, totalitarian government oppression, the threat of nuclear war, gang violence, crime, etc. The world has never been a rose garden. My childhood was a rose garden in the 70s, but the world in general was not.
I'm revisiting this in '24, my sister has just passed away and one of my earliest memories is of us singing this to our Mum!!! Very emotional and a great song from a much more innocent and simpler time in many ways!!!
I was 9 years old in the hospital where they had to remove my tonsils and I heard it on the radio and loved it. The summer of 1971. I sang it all my life but never heard it again until I came here in 2022.
This song is the one I have chosen for my Mothers Funeral on Friday 5th January 2024. I remember sitting in the front of her car when I was a little girl and her driving round The Bullring when we lived near Birmingham, - Kerry RIP Mum 1944 - 2023
Sorry you gave lost your mother. I wa thinking when I started listening to this track how it creates such a strong memory of the 70s and the good times for those of us who were lucky enough to have our childhood during that time. So yes it's a good choice of song.
13 y/o, spring of ‘71, a big Hit in here in Scotland. I love Sally Car’s hotpants here (that’s what these shorts were called back then) reminded me of a pair of..red ‘wetlook’ hotpant dungarees I had. I saw them in a shop with mum and went on about them. She got them for me to shut me up. They were too big, but I was going to wear them when I was older. Lol! It was £4 she could’ve done without spending. I had a ‘feather haircut’ very fashionable at that time. My older brother had 2 Arthur Black shirts and a two-tone AB jumper. AB was a Glasgow shirt maker I think. The jumper shrunk in the wash so I got that. I notice there’s another girl dancing with hotpants on. This band and song brings back so much of that time for me. Some of our school teachers wore robes and we all had to at least wear the school shirt and tie - but that discipline was beginning to wane about the school uniform. Some teachers at school still wore robes. I was getting right into James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, CSNY, Judee Sill, Gerry Raffery, Gallagher & Lyle courtesy of 2 of my brothers’ influences, one of which was never in (ie at home) to listen to all the LP’s (vinyl albums) he bought. I forgotten how great this sound was in this single. Ah well..
I was 6 when this was a UK number 1 in summer 1971. I always thought it was literally about a baby bird whose parents had abandoned it and flown off somewhere.
Thanks to You Tube we still can enjoy these songs otherwise they would have been living in our memories and the new generations wouldn't enjoy the good music
Yet another song that was part of the soundtrack to my youth! 70s had some of the greatest songs ever written and incredible eclectic mix of bands and artists! This is classic 70s pop, so very catchy we all sang along to it!
Cat Stevens was singing then, one of my VERY favourites, and The Spinners Folk band was around, they were amazing as well!!!!! There was LOADS of AMAZING FOLK MUSIC AROUND. The Spinners, "The World Is Black, the world is white, it turns by day and it turns by night, it turns by night." Does anybody remember that one?????????
Funny how some songs just take you right back. I can remember the sun was shining and I was at nana's house and the world was new and beautiful in the summer of 1971. I still love singing this song.
I'm sure that I hadn't heard this song since the year that it came out. Haven't even thought once about it in five decades and remembered every single word as soon as it began to play. It's amazing what stays in the mind's hard drive when yesterday's breakfast has been completely forgotten.
Absolutely brilliant song , I was 8yrs old when this was a hit, my mum played this song a lot when I was a kid, forgot all about it till I recently visited Glasgow and heard this song being played in the background and brought back great memories, sally sang so beautifully 👍
thats great but how sadist is it that a poor baby called Don has been abandoned by both his parents....please keep enjoying songs that have let up to modern day grammy awards
Sally Carr und Middle of the Road die gehörten mit zu meinen Bands in den glorreichen Siebzigern wir waren jung Bj 1960 und bekamen damals di beste Musik zu hören ❤🎉❤
I was 6 years old, me and my mum would sing to this, I loved that world, flowers were bright and tall, we as kids played out, doors stayed unlocked or open, food tasted better, toys were simple, I really miss them days, and at 6 what wasn’t there not to love.
As a former heavy metaller, having head-banged my way thru Led Zepp , Purple , Sabbath , etc etc in my teens , I am now absolutely LOVING the MOR sounds of MOR! 😄😄👏👏👏💐
Summer of 1975, on the beach in the Crimea. The dawn. We have finished drinking party and are staring at the sea and the rising sun. And first we heard this song, sung on two voices, then saw two girls going along the shore in the surf and singing this song. I often see/recollect that marvellous picture from my Soviet youth and listen to Sally Carr, performing this masterpiece.
Bloody hell mate, that is one of the most moving things I've ever read. I'm not religious at all, but let's hope there is truth in it and one day you are reunited with your ma. We must be about the same age if you were 9 when this came out because I remember it too. Have a look for a video on UA-cam called we never owned an Ipad, that'll bring back some good memories for you.
For years I thought this song is lost for me...i was a kiddo when i found some compilation cassette with yellow label. This song was last one on side A. I was sold immediately with rewinding it until it lost every tone above 10kHz. The tape was gone with time but melody and few words remained in my head. Back then I didn't knew english. Thanks to Google who's algorithm recognized chirps from my head and brought me to this masterpiece. Seventies and eighties in heart forever.
I grew up with this song since I was 2 years old. I have loved this song since then. Even almost 50 years after it came out. Some songs never die. They live in people's memories forever.

Hello from Scotland🏴 I lived in Germany as a kid & saw this group live & singing this song....those were the days & I have loved this song ever since. Happy memories.❤️❤️❤️😄😭💐 Stay safe everybody.😷
I was 10 years old when this song came out. Darn, didn't we have some great music. As grumpy old grandad, darn, Sally Carr was/is gorgeous. Especially in tiny hot pants and long boots.
Ohhh yes, just listening to this transports me back to 1971, best days of my life, it seemed like everybody was happy then, a far cry from today’s society.
My mother loved this song. Used to sing it all the time. Never saw the video or even heard of Middle of the Road until more than 20 years after she passed away, all too young. Boy did it bring her back to life for me for just a while. Still does every time I watch this.
Pay close attention to the credits. "Care-free" for child molesters who get to the grave before the justice system gets to them... I wonder if the fiddled-kids reminisce wistfully.
If you read the lyrics to this song it's the parents cutting free and leaving the kids to fend for themselves and one of the children is a baby,leaving "mama & papa to go far far away" it's a pretty depressing song if u read the lyrics 🤔
Another of those great songs of the seventies and the singer is not only a good singer but a beautiful lady too. This one brings to me so many memories of those years.
Sally superb singer loved you when I 13 so cute sweet good looking love you to day at 61 god bless you sally thanks for making me happy with your music Ron 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
As a small child I was inconsolable, with the lyrics singing of my greatest, most horrific fear. Now that fear has become reality. My pretty mother died last week, after an aggressive blood cancer took her life two months after diagnosis. I miss her more than words can say.. more than ever when listening to her old music.
I'm here because my friend just got his very elderly mum a new budgie for her birthday and this just popped into my head. Oh for the joy of the 60's and 70's music again
..... linda canção da época em que tudo era romantismo..... nunca vou cansar de ouvir essa linda canção..... são muitas emoções.....(Paulo Mendes - Curvelo - MG).
I was 6 when this came out. I used to jump up and down and sing my little heart out when it came on tv on top of the pops. Happy Times back then, much better world than the one today.
1971 ! the year of the Hot Pants worldwide ! Thanks You Mary Quant for your design ! Thank You Beautiful Sally Carr for using them ! Greetings from Chile.
My parents loved that song and had put it on repeat over and over again. I was a child back then and didn't like it all. Now, centuries later, I enjoy listening to the happy songs now and then.
@Voeding 2.0 I'm not saying that this band was glam rock. I'm saying that it was common for bands at this time to use a lot of makeup and have carefully done hair.
Als ich diesen Song nach über 50 Jahren wieder hörte, lief es mir eiskalt den Rücken runter und die Situation, in der ich diesen Song zum ersten Mal als 8-jähriger hörte: Ich ging mit einer Glasschale "bewaffnet" in ein Cafe (Cafe Zorn) in unserem Ort um 20 Kugeln Vanilleeis zu kaufen für Eiskaffee und da wurde genau zu der Zeit dieser Song gespielt! Ich kann mich an die Stimmung, die Atmosphäre, den Geruch und den Geschmack in diesem Cafe nach über 50 Jahren noch ganz genau erinnern als wenn es gestern gewesen wäre!!! Absoluter Wahnsinn!!!!!!
Ich lag im Kinderbett, war noch sehr klein. Meine Eltern ließen oft das Radio laufen. Es war ein Gefühl der Geborgenheit, das ich jetzt noch habe, wenn ich alte Songs höre. Dieser Song jedoch hat nun, da ich den Inhalt verstehe, einen bitteren Beigeschmack
Now 50 years since MOTR recorded this at RCA's Rome studios and it became a #1 in much of Europe, with the UK coming on board a few months later. Happy to say both Sally Carr and Ken Andrew are doing well after Sally recovered from a brain embolism. Still fun to listen to, even now.
Had my grandson wit me since he was born,, played dis song everyday 2him,,, wen he was 12yrs old he played dis song 4 me n asked" do u remember dis song" ,,, I was sooo overwhelmed 2 know this song connected us 2 a time DAT was soooo simple n loyal n true,,,,,, bless u girl
I remember this from the age of 5.... and not until I was over 25 did I finally connect that tune to this song... awsome... have never forgot this since and play it every now and then.
She's Chick Young's first wife they had a son who was sadly killed not so long ago in a motorcycle accident I think.

They say you should not live in the past. But late 60s to early 70s were the best magical times. I'd go back and stay there.
Don't forget 80s too 😂
forever 70s
And then Came Thatcher and with it the demise of the UK an its music
Верно! 👍👍👍
definitely the best times! I'd go back and stay anyday
As a 5-year-old in1972, I loved this song.
Mid 60's to the end of the 80's was the best 25 years for music.
72 ACTUALLY
I think 54-89 35years.Rock n Roll setup the diet that started it, many genres from that part trace the roots to that what i
Gotta include the late 50s and early 60s.
90s also we're not so bad.

God, I miss the 70's. Life seemed so simple back then and the music so good
There was LOADS of good music around then. (In the 70's, and 60's as well). I can't go back before that, I wasn't around!!!!!
That was a very happy time 🙃

@Jay Probably. all we had to worry about was what time was tea and what was going to be on tv on Saturday mornings
Music is an incredible time travelling mechanism. This has just brought me right back to my childhood 😭
I always said this, that music is a time machine that not only shows you how stuff was but makes you feel like you did then.

Oh I turned 15 in 1971 and always felt that I had missed the 60s but the 70s were still great.
Jaka ja wtedy byłam młoda!!! Pełna radości,planów ,beztroski......
No cóż ja też
Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep great
This is the first song I can ever remember at 3 years old and my Mum teaching me the lyrics.
Oh the good old 70"s !!!
Right On man!
No way would they have thought we would still be talking about their song in 2022. Love this song and songs from the 70’s.
Wow! Talk about memories from long ago! I was 16. I'm now 66!
I was 11 when this came out and I’ve still got it how time fly’s wish I could go back dont we all
I love the 70's; the music was life affirming, and joyous. It lifts your heart to the rafters.😚
Yes, there was great variety.
There was a lot more positive music around then.
I'm here because my friend just got his very elderly mum a new budgie for her birthday and this just popped into my head. Oh for the joy of the 60's and 70's music again
I learnt this song in primary school I love this one the memories 😭❤️ feels so long ago now that I’m 24
..... linda canção da época em que tudo era romantismo..... nunca vou cansar de ouvir essa linda canção..... são muitas emoções.....(Paulo Mendes - Curvelo - MG).
I was 6 when this came out. I used to jump up and down and sing my little heart out when it came on tv on top of the pops. Happy Times back then, much better world than the one today.
1971 ! the year of the Hot Pants worldwide ! Thanks You Mary Quant for your design ! Thank You Beautiful Sally Carr for using them ! Greetings from Chile.
My parents loved that song and had put it on repeat over and over again. I was a child back then and didn't like it all. Now, centuries later, I enjoy listening to the happy songs now and then.
@R S Everyone is singing along to it and enoying the melody.
@R S We don't know. Maybe mother had to go to work, I don't want to discuss nor argue. It is just a song.
My dad used to sing this to me when I was a little boy when we went out on the stroller and I never knew I’d become so attached to it
Simple natural people in the 1970's. Lovely.
You think that this is simple and natural? Everyone on stage is made up with highly coiffed hair. This was the glam rock era.
Top of the pops introduced by the 'simple natural' Jimmy Saville !!!!!
@Voeding 2.0 I'm not saying that this band was glam rock. I'm saying that it was common for bands at this time to use a lot of makeup and have carefully done hair.
@eternal echo I simply meant, the 1970's. The best decade of my childhood. Fuck Savile!
I'm goin back to the 70's, FUCK 2018!
i totaly agree bob i was a kid but at least you could understand the music.
nigel tock And the funny thing is, back then our parents were complaining about this music!
and 2015...and 2016....and 2017.........................................
* I'm goin back to the 70's, fuck 2015!
alltaken678 No we weren't, we were HUGELY enjoying it!.
That's why YOU are here now, OH YEAH, we had fun!.
Als ich diesen Song nach über 50 Jahren wieder hörte, lief es mir eiskalt den Rücken runter und die Situation, in der ich diesen Song zum ersten Mal als 8-jähriger hörte:
Ich ging mit einer Glasschale "bewaffnet" in ein Cafe (Cafe Zorn) in unserem Ort um 20 Kugeln Vanilleeis zu kaufen für Eiskaffee und da wurde genau zu der Zeit dieser Song gespielt! Ich kann mich an die Stimmung, die Atmosphäre, den Geruch und den Geschmack in diesem Cafe nach über 50 Jahren noch ganz genau erinnern als wenn es gestern gewesen wäre!!!
Absoluter Wahnsinn!!!!!!
Ich finde den Song auch ganz toll ☺. Ich bin allerdings nur Jahrgang 72, der Song ist ein Jahr älter, lol, aber das ist unwichtig.
Ich lag im Kinderbett, war noch sehr klein. Meine Eltern ließen oft das Radio laufen. Es war ein Gefühl der Geborgenheit, das ich jetzt noch habe, wenn ich alte Songs höre. Dieser Song jedoch hat nun, da ich den Inhalt verstehe, einen bitteren Beigeschmack
My son grew up listening to this so did I lol he is now 22 years old I am prouder of him everyday
Now 50 years since MOTR recorded this at RCA's Rome studios and it became a #1 in much of Europe, with the UK coming on board a few months later. Happy to say both Sally Carr and Ken Andrew are doing well after Sally recovered from a brain embolism. Still fun to listen to, even now.
Não conhecia mas adoro coloquei

I'm here because
I was 9 years old in 1971 and remember this record very well. I don't need some crap X factor show from 2020 to bring me here.
Damn right!!
I totally agree with you.
@@18thebat Cheers
I remember this from the age of 5.... and not until I was over 25 did I finally connect that tune to this song... awsome... have never forgot this since and play it every now and then.
I was 9 also and this was the first record I ever bought back in 1971 , well it was my late dear father who bought it for me!
I love this band... I love this woman... I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
There are time when you just feel this is the best song ever!
I remember hearing this on the radio when I was 8 years old. Still as good as it was then.
Brings memories of my youth rushing back so strongly that I find it unable to breathe.
Scared the crap out of me as a kid thought my mum was gonna leave me
Fucking lovely😁
Did she? Ha ha
I found this on a movie trailer and I literally cried. i haven't heard this since '72
hahaha
everytime i hear this it makes me smile,cheesy but catchy.
Remember this song as a kid growing up and it brings back lovey memories, mainly of my mother who is no longer with us.
Along with Agnetha Faltskog and Debbie Harry, Sally Carr has got to be one of the most attractive female pop singers of the seventies.
She,s from Muirhead Lanarkshire..
Jest do niej bardzo podobna🙂
She's beautiful!! Love her voice.
Mariska Veres??
She's Chick Young's first wife they had a son who was sadly killed not so long ago in a motorcycle accident I think. Chick is a legend up hear in Scotland in and around fitba knows them all Fergie,Souness,Dalglish ,he is in semi retirement the now but you can usually catch him on the weekend reporting from some cup tie or other.....
My foster mother taught me this song, made me learn the words and sing it every night, fostered at two years old... can never forget this ever.
