The media wants to rewrite history, but there was a time back in the bad old days of the 70s, where racial didn't always mean racist.
You could say things like: "them white boys can sure play some black music" without everybody losing their shit.
Must be all that polyester they were wearing, they could zap someone back to life by just walking by.
Ok boomer
Lol
I confirm this message. In fact we had mixed parties and it wasn't at college. You wouldn't believe we had some some parties without alcohol. We never had drugs at any of the parties I went to. Our high was dancing.
@@onfoenemgrave keep.thinking you know more than people older than you. Just a hint, if you are under 30 years old, you don't have much of a clue. History repeats itself, you should pay attention to what the older generations have to say.
I think the world needs a huge 60-70s rave party!!
We need to go back to this on the Radio Everyday!! Maybe they should bring back leather clogs too 🤗❤
In September, 2023, I could jump into your idea with both feet!
On board. Save me a resorvation.
Tell me where, what time and point me to the dance floor.
FANTASTIC
He wasn't born with an afro. As his funk developed, his hair slowly began to rise. Then, he rose. To godhood.
Classic! 🤣🤣
WHITE PEOPLE HAVE NATURALLY CURLY HAIR!! OMG. But black people can straighten their hair, AND bleach it, to copy whites? Just stop.
His hair slowly began to rise? well, I'll say it was more like a Funky blast!
That comment made my fecking week haha. I doth my hat haha
@@christoker6835 wow a comment from three years ago haha thanks man glad you got a laugh
THE GUITARIST AND SINGER WROTE THIS SONG AND RETIRED AT 40 YEARS OLD AND STILL COLLECTS LARGE ROYALTIES TODAY OFF 1 SONG 👍👍
Good!
I love capitalism.
Everyone in the 70's had an afro. 😆 Not literally, but I'm just sayin...there were ALOT of afros in the 70's. 😆
oh gad! Facts tho, Facts!
Any idea how much suppression underwear cost back then? my groin is a Ferrari
Alot of Jewfro's too! (Neil Schon, Sib Hashian, Jeff Lynne, Art Garfunkel, Sammy Hagar Barbara Streisand... Just to name a few) lol 😁
Fros & feathered shags
@@sharondianneb Perms.
Don't allow the brain washed masses to tell you how to express yourself. Be you, Love. "White boy" "black boy" they are just words used to describe. Music is universal. Much love.
Awwww the 70's and 80's where people weren't so sensitive over skin color and just enjoyed good music..This song was my phone ring tone for a long time...
On a side note, The person who introduced Wild Cherry was singer Helen Reddy who sang "I am woman" around the same time sadly passed away this week.
RIP, Miss Helen Reddy. For those of you who don't know Helen's work, you might want to check out her version of the Cilla Black song "You're my world." I think it's better than Cilla's version - just my opinion, of course. Also she does a great version of the song "I don't know how to love him", which was originally done in the music "Jesus Christ Superstar" by someone else.
True story. They were a rock band playing out one night in Youngstown. During a break, a group of black guys came up and said, "Dont you white boys play any funky music?"
So, he literally sat down after they were done playing that night and wrote the lyrics on the proverbial bar napkin. The next day he got together with the bass player and started working on the instrumental part.
The rest is, as they say, history. Thats how "VH-1 One Hit Wonders" explained it.
Youngstown here.
Show ya right
@@budhenry426 Trumbull County here. YSU grad go Guins! Wonder if he’s talking about the Agora?
@Denise G.
It's true!!!
Never knew this!
Your face when you realised it was a white guy🤣
Check out: CHIC - Le Freak
There was a time we could laugh at ourselves and each other. Easy, tokin’ and chillin’ days. Shame we still can’t be the same without someone getting ‘offended’. You say what you want mate. Not many in your audience going to get offended. If they do...amen.
AMEN!
Amen from this white boy.
We were united by music in the day. Hippies reigned... black, white ,red yellow or green. more than todays music.
I really miss the 70's. 👍❤
Mr. Video! That was fifty years ago. Music has no color. Everybody likes what they like! No one should be mad. It’s the words to the song! Early rock and pop came from a version of Motown and Gospel, which I love. This also has a disco vibe. Disco sux! LOL! Thank you! ❤️
Ah, the seventies. Everyone had an afro and funky music playing 24/7!
I love watching young kids discovering old rock bands. I love how you truly enjoy how you react. I can't get enough of watching reacting to the greatest music of all time
white, one hit wonder, who cares. STILL one of the coldest bass riffs ever
People are far too sensitive now. I always say call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for supper.
And then smart alec call you late for supper.😂💛
I have heard this song a million times cause I was a teenager when it came out... and I've enjoyed seeing it in a video but watching you react to all these songs is more fun to watch
I don’t understand why anyone would get mad about you saying “white boy”
It’s what he is...lol
People are idiots...pay NO attention! 😂
Great reaction! 💕
Cause it’s disrespectful to call a grown man a “boy”.
@@jaredwalters84 Whatever...It’s disrespectful to call a grown woman a girl but guys do it all the time get over it
@@teslacumba And it's weird that a reactor always have to mention skin color when hearing certain types of music. I don't see why it matters if he's white. I see no problem with the comment. I think others have a problem with it because it's unnecessary to mention skin color. Since you're brave enough to tell people to get over it, how about you accept the fact that mentioning skin color in every single situation is unnecessary, and how about you “get over it" since you want to be such a smart ass all of a sudden.
@@teslacumba It's the fact that people always have to bring up skin color. I'm black myself and I still find it weird when someone mentions the fact that someone is white for no reason at all.
@@teslacumba Appearance shouldn't matter when you listen to music.
I am a white boy and you can call me white boy anytime as long as you keep the vids coming.
I got u lol
@Tim Billings I am really an older man too but Mr. Video and his reactions to the music i grew up with takes me back in time and that makes me feel young again. Love his channel.
Agreed! That's what I like about his reactions!!
@Tim Billings yes!! 🤣🤣🤚
One legged white boy works for me. Lol lol
This was the stuff! Back in the 70s when I was a little girl. But I thought they were a black band, the confusion on my face when I discovered other wise was epic! 😳😆🔥🔥❤❤🎺🎹🎶🎵🍒🍒
Not once in my life have I ever been offended by someone calling me white boy haha. Me and my buddies would crack jokes about who had the best farmer's tans growing up!!! 🤣🤣
lol. I have a cousin who has the darkest hat tan line I’ve ever seen.
it's so funny watching you guys react to those musics of the 60-70's times ,, I grew up in that ,, just superb , got you on the dance floor , every time ,,, glad you're enjoying it man ,
What ever happened to great music like this? White, black, whatever, good music makes everyone happy and get along. This stuff being put out today, not music in my opinion, does nothing but stir anger and violence.
Just like back in the day the good music you have to find, what you hear on radio is not it.
All the good artists are dead now
You aren't looking hard enough! There's a wealth of amazing music out there. Just gotta stop listening to the radio lol
@@AdmiralKnight do you have a recommendation of great music today that can heal the world the way this stuff used to?
Amen!! The 50's through the70's.....
We had THE BEST MUSIC EVER!!!!
PEACE!!✌
This song is life!!! One of my favorites since it was released. When I was a single mom, college student by day, waitress by night, this song gave me energy. Just when I thought I would collapse, I would sing this out loud through the kitchen. It gave us all some energy on those nights.
Ah yes...a song from a time of tolerance, cooperation, and respect. I miss those days. Your reactions are hilarious, bro. Keep 'em coming!
When this song came out back in the day I was a senior at an ultra conservative Christian college. Always toeing the line, prim and proper, doing the polite thang and feeling caged up. I heard this song on the car radio and absolutely flipped! it inspired me so much I went out the next day and bought me (a white girl) a huge purple Afro wig. I wore it to class and everybody was shocked! My professor said something snarky about it and I said "It's OK if you want to come over here and touch it." His face turned beet red and the class howled with laughter. He never said another word about anything else I wore, and I wore some wild stuff. And I got an A in that class! My mother was furious that I wore that purple Afro, so I went out and bought a multi-color Afro! My pastor dad laughed so hard and told me he was proud of me flying my Freak Flag! He thought it was fantastic! Oh.... those were the days!
💪💪💪
I laugh out loud every time you jump on the couch and go “Yeeeee” lmao
same
Lol same! XD
Same can't wait to see him as old man with walker walking up to couch then flop down 😂
So do I...lol!!!
3rdVVorld me too! 😂👏👏
Your pillow on the couch looks like it is watching the vids to hahaha..pillow gotta face man..hahaha...great vid lol
thought i was the only seeing a face on the pillow
Nope they're not angry. Too bad times are different nowadays. Your reactions are Right On!! This was Wild Cherrys One Hit Wonder. FANTASTIC DANCING MUSIC !!!
Wild Cherry!! Not Cheery!! LOL 🙂
Both of my 6ft blue eyed dirty blonde brothers had the ‘permed afro’ back in their high school days of the ‘80’s.
And everyone carried the ‘pick’ combs!
There's definitely a big difference between "hearing" a song and LISTENING to it.
They all look like they are having such fun. What energy! Love it...it is kind of tongue in cheek..can white boys play funky music? Yep, apparently! At least in the 70s
And if they were from Ohio with parents working for The Big Three. I forget where I saw it, but there was a documentary about Funk and they found almost all of the big Funk bands were started in Ohio by kids jamming in garages with black and white parents working for years in the Auto Industry that could allow them to interact and have the income to allow the kids to get together and "get funky"
Once the 80's came in & the factories started closing up, it was over.
I heard this song as a little girl. Love it! I’m 52 now and can’t decide what’s better, you or the song! So much fun watching you enjoying yourself!!!❤
from the days when color was irrelevant. you could say it tongue in cheek and nobody gave a shit - the MUSIC was what is was all about. i watched soul train and midnight special all the time and they always had just the best bands. music of all kinds.
In the seventies a lot of white ppl had afros too
We all had perms to have a fro.
Hilariously, we called that style a "natural."
I can still smell the perm solution...
Bob Ross rocked an afro.
I still tease my dad for getting a perm in the 70's!
Yes. A male blond friend of mine got an afro.hhhaaa he looked like a BLOND BRILLO PAD. back to the boom boxes. This song would blast out fun times must have been 16 years old. Once again you make my smile
_You can call me whatever you want, but don't hit me in the face..._ that's my melody, exactly :D
These guys were originally a rock band and times were changing . People were going to Disco's and live rock bands in clubs weren't bringing them in as they used to . They were getting fewer and fewer gigs and every once in awhile they would hear "Hey white boy , play some funky music " They crossed over and this is a disco rock crossover . The lead singer retired on this song in his 40's .
Mr. Video, I would love to hear you sing this all the way through. Your voice suits this song!
The song tells the story of how the song came to be.
The band improvised the song when someone shouted the line that became the chorus.
My husbands surgeon was listening to this song just before they wheeled him into surgery. Everyone was dancing lol
Hopefully he didn't come out looking funky!
@@beerye3 😂🤣
Reminds me of the commercial for tax software where Humpty Dumpty is in the hospital and wanting to sue because of the song The Humpty Dance. The doctors and nurses are dancing to the song out in the hall, and he said that it is pretty catchy😄
@@dougclark7077, I never saw that commercial but sounds familiar and funny. His surgeon had a great sense of humor 😷🩺💉lol
Funk transplant I hope :P Seriously, if a surgeon plays this at my surgery, I'm pretty sure I'll be ok, and can probably dance afterwards.
Mr. Video, the group "Wild Cherry" is from Steubenville, Ohio!! The lead singer is Rob Parissi. He claims the idea for the song came during a show the band was doing in Pittsburgh. Allegedly, someone in the crowd shouted "Are you white boys gonna play some funky music?" Parissi says he was inspired to write a song based on the phrase; and that he began to do so on a drink order pad with a pen borrowed from the bartender.
If you called me “white girl”, I’d say that’s hella accurate. Nothing offensive about it to me. It is what it is. I think it’s hilarious that the brothers are pointing at the white guys. I’ve never noticed that before. Too funny. Love it! 😂
Midnight Special was the best. RIP Wolfman Jack! And you say "white boy" anytime you want!
Unfunkabelievable 😅😅. I have to start saying also.... IT's Brilliant !!!!
This song is about the lead singers musical life. He was a rocker in rock band and at the time when he wanted to hit it big all the music changed during the disco funk era. So he tried to make it in rock and it wasnt working out so he caved and did what they told him and started playing funk disco style. Instant number ones and fame. Even performing on soul train. If you listen to the lyrics he describes how he became the singer he is today and gave up his rock and roll band to play funk. Love ypu man and your reaction. 😂
That lead singer: guitarist is American Italian!! They’ve got the fros too.
If you enjoyed this, listen to Average White Band “Pick Up The Pieces”, “Cut The Cake”, etc.. A Scottish funk/R&B band that hit it big in the 70’s, too.
Yes, it needs to be from the 70s. The original band with Dundee Horns. Love me some AWB. A love of your own. If I ever lose this heaven. School boy crush. Cloudy. Drop it in the slot. So many great tunes.
I love Pick Up the Pieces and met both band members, Wild Cherry and AWB. I was their goffer at my college when the Black Student Union brought them in.
What about Ohio players - fire
School Boy Crush should be a reaction, Mr. Video !!!
Loved pick up the pieces
Nothing wrong with "white boy"
Sometimes, your reactions are epic, and this was one of those times!!! 😄
The amazing music when people come together ❤
I'm a white girl... no probs here... keep up the good work, Love Yah!
Say white boy !!! We no you do not mean it ad a bad thing!!
My brother is a Funk historian. There's no question he can't answer including Funk DJs around the United States.
It's great 👍 to see people having fun with it and the man singing and the band had more fun than anything.
Midnight special was the thing!!! It was on at midnight on Friday nights and it had all live music--rock, soul, everything!! The 70s was the ish!! I was a little girl for Midnight special and stayed up with my dad to watch!! Then on Saturdays we had Soul Train and American Bandstand for music and dancing.
Dayum... it's been decades since I funked out on wild cherry hahaha 😆
Excellent!
i know,tell me about it,nostalgic isnt it
Living in St Lucia 1998 in Mabouya Valley....I was the only white among 10k in my community... this song came on the radio one Sunday afternoon...."crazy white man, crazy white man."
Good times.
Props to every musician on that stage- the sound of unbridled joy!
Man, we need some Parliament: "P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)", the album version not the radio single.
Absolutely love your reactions! You always bring a smile to my face! You have to react to Pinball Wizard by The Who, you won't regret it!!
Anything by the who, I like love is like oxygen by the sweet aswell.
Helen Reddy-
Has one of the most beautiful voices - ever.
Look up some of her work
She’s legendary
The baseline here is a legendary SLAPPER! 🔥🔥
Had a distant cousin who was a studio musician who played trumpet on the radio version. When Wild Cherry had a concert in a nearby city my aunt called his mom. She called our cousin and he got us front row tickets to the show! Our cousin went on to play with Doc Doc Severson on the Johnny Carson show then later with the Chicago Philharmonic orchestra after Johnny retired. BTW the show was awesome! Even though they only had one radio hit, the band really knew how to play funky music! Lol
I'm an older white lady, any of my friends of color don't get mad at being called black ( except 1). It's hard to define when only give a name only, when you have other friends with same name, just different color. One of my besties, Bethany knows how hard it is. When i say i seen Trish, she always asks white one or black. Yea she needed an answer. Bethany is black.
I was never offended by this girl, and we always had blast together. Sad she moved back to Alabama, because sure miss the young lady and her little girl- who mean mugged me all the time. So screw the whimpering Bitches that cry about you saying white boy etc.
Besides fact yet to see an accurate description that fits any color.
Black isn't really black, dark brown or chocolate maybe.
White folk aren't white, its a light tan. Or maybe cream?
LOL everybody is the same under that skin tone.
This is the BEST FARKIN' reaction to ANYTHING I've seen! lmfao
The world is full of so many shades and colours,all of them are beautiful.😎❤❤❤❤❤❤
You can call me white boy, won't you
You can call me white boy, won't hurt my feelings a bit.
lol! "No not you, brother... move ... the WHITE boy." (Oh you can call me white boy, cuz... well... I'm a white boy.)
Music is the most beautiful when it brings us all together and superficial differences melt away.
I'm glad you're discovering what music actually is 💖
Oh good, you found that funky music. Great story with this song, subs will explain it. This one had everybody singing and dancing.....facts.
🎼🎶🎶🔥😎I’m not mad....I’m having fun right along with you! As soon as you start snapping and rolling your shoulders......it’s on! Let’s go!
As always I loved your reaction. It's like I wait for the lyrics I know is coming just to see your facial expressions. Hilarious. I am loving it.
In the 70s, we were so much closer! I was a young teenager and had friends of all color. We have definitely regressed.
Thanks to having older brothers and sisters I grew up with all of this music!!!!!
There is a young man out there named Marc Broussard and this guy has soul coming from his toes. Trust me my music loving brother check out his "Home" or "Cry to me". You won't be sorry.
I love him and recommend Home!
2:09 "That's him?"
My man, Mr. V, so confused lol
As usual, top notch content, bro!
Hope ur doing better, now!
I’m feeling a lot better man I appreciate u asking for sure that means alot
@@MrVideo123 great, man, stay safe!
Saludos de México, mi hermano!
@@MrVideo123 Very glad you're feeling better.
I would love to see you react to Santana “evil ways” from Woodstock. The lead singer thought they were going on later so he dropped acid and said during the show the neck of the guitar kept turning into a snake. Lol
He makes me smile every time !! Lol 😂I would lv to party w him and I hadn’t partied in years !! Lol 😂 he’s so much fun !!
I love all the videos with people doing like stage diving or attacking their instruments & he's like "oh naw, be careful there!"
So good
Yes afro's....such a mix of music in the 60's and the 70's
This must be the extended version. I've heard this song 10,000 times, but never this funky long.
I'm so glad your back! I'm laughing already and we haven't even started the song yet! 😂 You really did Helens movements perfectly! 😂
😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂 I had the same reaction when I heard it as a kid! We jammed to this one!❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥#Wild Cherry 🍒
Thank you for always making me laugh!!
🤣
Love from Michigan ❤️
Great jam from back in my day!!
Nobody's getting mad!! He is a white 👦!! Lol. Stop being so sensitive people!!
@Judi Dipillo, I'm Irish & Italian. I love Irish and Italian jokes!! It's very hard to offend me!! 😂 white jokes crack me up too!! 😂
Remember the era this song was released in, don't look at it through today's hypersensitive lens.
The statement of this song was: "Hey look, black musicians and white musicians can get along just fine, hey look we're DOING IT! Look at us, we're a funk band with a white bass player! And he sings too! PLAY DAT MUSIC!"
The message of this song was 100% wholesome at the time (and still is).
@Shame nolanI have my mom's maiden name. I'm married and won't change it. My grandmother is Haskins from Galway and grandfather is Donlan from Sligo. My Auntie Mamie married a Nolan in Boston.
@Shame nolan we don't talk about him! 😆
@Shame nolan too funny!!😂
You want your jaw to drop? Bobby Caldwell “What You Won’t Do For Love”
Oh hell yea, I grew up listening to my dad and uncles playing this. One day, I looked him up. realized he was a white guy 😂
Please
They were a great funky band..Back in my day, great at the clubs...They will get over it, you be you bro.Thanks Mr. V. Peace
Dude you crack me up when you said look at the brothers and danced like them OMG hahaha
Helen Reddy had more hits than Wild Cherry ever did.
I Am Woman, hear me roar!!
True. True.
I don't know why. Sns.
She was getting hit alright...
Great Singer back in the day.
When this first came out, nobody knew that "white boys" could really get down! Haha!
This was released in April 1976 I love how into the song these guys are you dont see many artists do that with this much energy today the story is one nite at a disco someone yelled loudly for them to play some funky music. I dont know if they called him a white boy then or not but that's the idea behind the song
"Play that funky music! Not... Brother move. That white guy." Hahahaha. That cracked me up. 😂😂
Tower of Power - for more 70's funk and major horns
Janis Ian - Societies Child or At Seventeen for social commentary of the times. Janis has a laid back, simplistic delivery, but her words pack a bone crunching wallop.
Oh yessss TOWER OF POWER, great choice & still going on 💪!!
I love Helen Reddy.
She was Nora in the first "Pete's Dragon" in 1977 when I was 2 years old.
She's part of the reason my 11 year old daughter is named Nora.
Thank you for, some days, being the only couple of minutes in a day that I'm not in a perpetual state of barely holding my shit together.
My internal dialog has consistently been just one long horrible 'scary movie scream of the first white girl killed' in every scary movie. It started in the beginning of March & has not stopped, not even to take a breath.
🥰
"You can call me whatever you want. Just don't hit me in the face." LOL . . . These are definitely words to live by!! You're awesome!
Best reaction I've ever seen HANDS DOWN! I was feeling it! I love this song, but it was before my time too, but I love the funk!!!!
Overly sensitive people. You be you. Someday I am going to get some merch as soon as cash flow starts again. Have a blessed day from the white country girl. Lol
This song is the actual true story of what happened to this Band back in 1976 I think. They were the opening act for an all Black Funk Band. The two Bands were partying together on an off night while on tour. One guy from the funk Band yelled over to the Wild Cherry guys, and said "Hey, play that funky music white Boy." They all had a good laugh. The next day, Wild Cherry wrote this song on the tour Bus as a joke. When they played it at the next concert they did, it brought the house down. They recorded the song shortly after this happened, and the rest is history. They were "One Hit Wonders." This one song made them all very rich, as it became a worldwide hit, not just a U.S.hit song. I know all of this because I just saw an interview of the lead singer, and he is living in a mansion in Miami Beach Florida, with a Ferrari , and his trophy wife . All because of a dare from a guy in the other band. Looks like it worked out pretty well for him.
Thanks
Dude, you are funny. And so unassuming for such a young man. God bless you, brother, for your unbiased approach to music.
I like your self satisfaction with your play on the word "funky" without swearing followed immediately by "Holy crap!" :D
