I think it's the drummer's backyard in New York State.. The recording company gave them a few hundred dollars to produce a good video...Instead, they bought weed and beer and what you see, is what they got...lol
@@jameshudkins2210 I searched it out one time because I was curious where it was recorded. I found some posts on Hicksville NY's Facebook page. One post said that the house sold about 3 years ago and it was mentioned in the ad that the video had been shot there. Another said: "I watched them film it. It was like the third house in from Division, on 10th Street. They must have played it 100 times that day!"

This Song has a long pedigree. It started in the 19th Century and Black Betty was about a Musket. Bam-a-lam was the report of the gun firing, rock stead was about its handling characteristics, etc. Later it became a song popular with Southern Chain gangs who added in more double entendres. Lead Belly contributed to its popularity.
Lead Belly (Huddie Ledbetter has influenced so many artists. Credence Clearwater Revival's Midnight Special is a Lead Belly cover, and Kurt Cobain acknowledged Lead Belly's influence on Nirvana's MTV Unplugged Video. Kurt's cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night (In the Pines) is nothing short of incredible.
You may want to check your sources. There's talk that it may date back to the 18th century and it could have been about a bottle of whiskey, a whip, a woman, and it's all speculation. It has all the earmarks of a road-working chant, so it could have easily risen to prominence during the railway era.
@@Ironoclasty Verses have been added and possibly lost over the years, so it's quite possible that one verse is about a musket while another is about a woman and so on.
@@thrummer1953 Your tone and condescension are uncalled for. I never claimed that you were wrong, just that you should doublecheck, but you seem to be unable to allow yourself to be wrong. So maybe you're the one who needs to get over themselves. Regardless, I do agree: let everyone look it up for themselves. The facts should bear themselves out.
Criminally short song - and yet they still squeezed in a drum solo! I also would never have guessed the singer/guitarist would look like him. Nothing against him, but when I first saw that voice come out of him, I was a bit shocked! 🤣
@@neptune9 Actually you have it backwards. This is the original recording of the song. Bill Bartlett, the singer and his band Starstruck took Lead Belly's 59 second long "Black Betty" and arranged, recorded and released it on the group's own TruckStar label. None of the others were in the band when it was recorded. The 'edited' version is longer and is the actual band you see in the video. That was done at Epic records and released after this video was made.
I was at a Def Leppard concert and right in the middle of Pour Some Sugar on me they broke into this song and played the whole thing and the crowd went absolutely bat shit crazy
This is such a great look at the 70s/early 80s.... There weren't many cops around, and people in general were just more chill... nothing bothered people... we used to literally find a spot outdoors... golf courses, vacant lots, fields... people yards lol... get a keg... hook up a generator for a band, and just have fun til all hours... I miss that so much.... Great reaction. Thank you.
I graduated in 80. Saw all the great bands from Zeppelin to Greatful Dead. The best times were winter . Get a keg , don’t need ice put in snow. Build a fire and party. Great time to be young.
"Godzilla" - Blue Oyster Cult "Frankenstein" - Edgar Winter Group (the live version) "Hocus Pocus" - Focus (live version with the intro by Gladys Knight)
Bill Bartlett the guitarist on “Black Betty” by Ram Jam (a one hit wonder)also played on another one-hit wonder, “Green Tambourine” by the Lemon Pipers. the only person to have 2 one hit wonders with 2 one hit wonder groups. Just my $0.02
I just want to say I found you by accident just scrolling and I'm so glad I did. I've gone on a lily Jane journey ever since. I spent hours last night watching your channel and I'm going back tonight. Thank your husband for his service and thank you for your sacrifice when he is over seas. I know its not easy. I'm from a military family. God bless you both and keep making videos. I love your energy and content
I remember being about 17 and being a little stoned, and I friend showed off his new stereo system by playing this song at full volume. It was mind blowing.
I have to say I love your reaction to Pink Floyd I was 16 when Dark side of the moon came out, it wasn’t played on the radio but the album was played at every party for years, I wish you could have experienced it from the 70s, a little weed a little beer and Pink Floyd Nothing Better!
"Symptom of being human" by Shinedown needs to be on your list. With how analytical you are with your reviews, i think you'd fall in love with the song and band.
😂 Black Betty was the name of the Truck in S.W.A.T. ... pretty sure Luca named her after hearing this song... 🤔 but he didn't hear this version. He heard the version by Spider Bait... and is actually the best cover of this song I've ever heard.
It’s astonishing people are only discovering this song now but a lot of PS1 & PS2 gamers know this from classics like NFS underground. But I’m here for it! 🔥
I came across some of you older react videos where you discovered some country artists like Hank Williams Jr, The Righteous Bros, and George Jones. You should give Chiseled In Stone by Vern Gosdin a listen. He is known as "The Voice". The song Flip Flops back and forth with He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones as arguably the best country song ever depending upon who you ask.
Hi! I think you would really enjoy Home Free's rendition of How Great Thou Art. The video was filmed in the Austrian Alps and is very beautiful. Home Free is an acapella group.
"Black Betty" is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Blues artist: Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter. The origin and meaning of the lyrics are subject to debate. Historically, the "Black Betty" of the title may refer to the nickname given to a number of objects: a bottle of whiskey, a whip, or a penitentiary transfer wagon. However, in more modern song references, the term "Black Betty" alludes to a fast car or motorcycle.
One of the latest covers of this song was by Spiderbait, and they did it proud. But my favorite was featured in the movie Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, in case you're curious.
That's Rock's relation to the Blues for you, right there. Originally a sort of jam by the great Leadbelly (Hudie Leadbetter) then blitzed by this classic hard rock outfit. Sad they didn't have many other hits, but what the H; if this is your legacy track, you've done enough.
That groove is so catchy that it could make paralyzed people get up & dance. I'd like to see you cover Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners. It's fun & catchy af. ✌🏻❤️

The house is in Hicksville, New York on Long Island.

Haha glad you’re enjoying these old tunes Lilly !! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
I disagree with you about people making fun of this song, people love this song!!
Amen, as a Boomer I love this Song.
One of the things about this song is ; it was soo good it couldn't really be topped by them , it was as good as they got- but damn it is good.
There were so many great one hit wonders from the 60s and 70s. This song is such a badass jam.
This song just makes you smile!!
One you should check out is Radar Love by Golden Earing.... same vibe, great driving song.
Don't forget "Twilight zone" and many other songs.
Damn yes! Driving down the highway, late at night, no other cars, CRANKING this song!
Frankenstein
Seconded. White Lion’s cover is good and was a hit but Golden Earring’s version is far superior.
Agree
This song never get old ever! LOL
Saw that Lilly was reacting to Ram Jam-Black Betty, I clicked so hard I broke my mouse!!!🤣🤣🤣
I drop-kicked my mouse across the room.
@@maxdamagusbroskiI Chuck Norris’d mine. I need a new mouse.

Lilly, I’m so glad you’re diggin’ on a song that came out & was jammin’ before you were born. Rock on.
The lead singer was also in a group from the Sixties known as The Lemon Pipers. They had a one hit wonder called Green Tambourine
You're back!! This song is a total jam.
Criminally short song - and yet they still squeezed in a drum solo! I also would never have guessed the singer/guitarist would look like him. Nothing against him, but when I first saw that voice come out of him, I was a bit shocked! 🤣
This is actually an "edited" version. The album cut has a longer guitar solo. But, everyone insists on reacting to this video for some reason.
@@neptune9 You beat me to it.
A lot of people thought this singer was black.

This is a very old song, it was recorded by Lead Belly in the 1940's but it is thought to probably date back to the American civil war
I was at a Def Leppard concert and right in the middle of Pour Some Sugar on me they broke into this song and played the whole thing and the crowd went absolutely bat shit crazy
i love how you can see the expressions on your face to the type of music
This song would always be in my road trip playlist
EVERYONE Smiles!
Thank you for choosing this one, love your reactions.
Welcome back! Glad you're feeling better. Missed ya!
This is my favorite song to watch people react to!! ❤😊
Or FOCUS by HOCUS POCUS
You can't hear this song without bobbing your head
Facts.
Or beating the steering wheel like a spastic alien LoL
Get chills everytime I hear it and I've heard it about a million times😂
This could be 3X longer & I would still listen to it over & over.

Couldn’t like your choices more. Especially the live version of Frankenstein, the only version to watch is the live.
3 excellent recommendations! I think I will subscribe and see if she reacts to them.
Big smile on my face when I saw you reacted to this!!! God Bless! Love your reactions Lilly!
I used to work with a lady named Betty , hard to keep from laughing when I saw her. ❤❤❤
I love this song. Reminds me of being in high school. Rock n Roll!

The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) - 1972 - omg, great song!!!
1:57 " Holy shit, they are getting down on somebodys frontlawn!" LOL
Sorry the video was blocked. A real good time tune. I went to a lot of parties like that in the 70s. Thanks for the reaction.
Really got us up dancin back in the day .... bamalam :)
Bonfire and Lake tune 👊🏼💪🏼👍🏻🤟🎸🎸⚡️⚡️!!!
Nice reaction.
There is a longer version of this song where the instrumental in the middle is stretched out.
It's around on UA-cam.
I loved them since their early years, a little known pub band, they had some fun songs.

Used to ride around in my cousins car, windows down and all of us with our arms outside bopping on the car doors to the beat!
Black Betty was the name of a type of Musket.
Reminds me of jamming out in the backyard of my guitars farm.
This song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
My Ding a Ling, Chuck Berry. Funny as Hell and a Great Live song!!
Hit #1 in the UK, largely thanks to morality campaigners whinging loudly about how rude it was. Classic.
I have to say I love your reaction to Pink Floyd I was 16 when Dark side of the moon came out, it wasn’t played on the radio but the album was played at every party for years, I wish you could have experienced it from the 70s, a little weed a little beer and Pink Floyd
Nothing Better!
new sub. like your reactions. short and sweet. not a fan of rap or hip hop,but i like your reactions to classic rock and country
My big musical awakening came when I was 12 and I saw "Yellow Submarine" for the first time.
You gotta love that electric guitar.
I definitely feel as though you've heard this full song before. But it's okay. Your reaction is still priceless
The singer was in the 60s band lemon pipers.....song green tamberine....its class too.
I got a speeding ticket because of this song playing randomly on the radio
that was fun just watching you react to it
great song. Always loved it. One hit wonder
Since the video was blocked, I wish you had reacted to the original uncut version. The break is fire!
I heard the telepathic teddy bears song "where's my mind" on a chocolate advert
it took me a week to find it
was in the film "fight club"but I did 😁😁
Hola Lilly que tengas un buen fin de semana gracias por otro video ❤️❤️
Yep! Shredded ! ✌
I played at a lot of parties like that back in the 70s
"Symptom of being human" by Shinedown needs to be on your list. With how analytical you are with your reviews, i think you'd fall in love with the song and band.
This came out when I was a kid I played my guitar trying to play it I was great
That is a classic. Glad you heard it. Be good.
just a modern cover of an old "blues" song! Tom Jones also had a hit song with it but Ram Jam really honks down on this version - love it!!
My bassist wanted to cover this song so bad...but I couldn't remember all of the lyrics...great jam. Bam-ba-lam whoa
My jam!
first verse is about an old gun called black betty 2nd verse about whiskey call black betty last verse about a woman
The part about the child is about a second gun made by the same people, that would sometme blow up in your face.
@@leethomas7446 It also was used to refer to a whip used on Slaves in the 1800 and on people on Prison farms
I have neck problems from this song....cant tell ya how many times jammed out to this one.😅
Cherokee by Europe - Couldn't get it out of my head after watching the movie Hot Rod :)

Lead Belly first recorded this old Southern folk song. Apparently, Black Betty was a musket, and her "child" was a bullet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Good shit! Thank you, Family Guy! Lilly??? You're my Black Betty!😁😆
Can con confirm old black black Betty was from way down in in Alabam and was from Birmingham
A classic 🔥🤘
It’s astonishing people are only discovering this song now but a lot of PS1 & PS2 gamers know this from classics like NFS underground. But I’m here for it! 🔥
back in my day baby,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I believe this was originally a drinking song..black Betty is an old time name for bourbon!!!!!

Lestley west is an absolute legend.
was just gonna say that! the sister song to black betty.
The WASP version is also good
@@markschattefor6997.....No mention of Felix Pappalardi??? Disgraceful and shame on you.
If you can, watch the version of this in the movie "Kung Pow! Legend of the Fist". Absolutely shreddin' and hilarious.
Hard to believe this song is a cover of Lead Belly's "Black Betty".
There is a studio version that includes another guitar solo. I recommend checking that version out👍🏼🔥
That Family Guy bit was the funniest thing that I have seen all day. Great song. Great choice.

Classic.
The idea is to have a good time, period.
You should've listened to the long version... great guitar solo and double bass-drums... almost metal!
Was going to say the same thing. Cheating yourself not to hear the full version.
there's a long version? hot damn.
I like you groovin to it :-)
A MUST SEE/HEAR Classic,, Focus "Hocus Pocus" Live performance video a MUST!!..
TRUST ME on this one my music lovin' sister. 🔥♥️🔥

You are on good looking girl. 🙂 we used to LOVE this song.
