I used to really enjoy all the songs with Snoopy and the Red Baron . Back in 67 I was just 14 . Time has just flown by . I’m old now but still remember and enjoy the Royal Guardsmen.
In fourth grade, one of our classmates brought this record to school. When we were good, the teacher would play it for us. We loved it! Thanks, Scott, for bringing the record and thanks, Mr. Mulka for playing it. That was nearly 50 years ago!
@@shtcare I have no idea what you are talking about, what does scooby have to do with anything. BTW, it’s waste, not waist. Literacy is a terrible thing to “waste”.
I heard this on AM radio back in the 70's many times when I was a kid and I just turned 60 on the 14th of October thank you for the classic rock and roll memories.🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶
@@rick419 neither is Ring Around the Rosie, and most songs on today's mainstream radio but kids still sing the songs and turn out just fine. I know I did. Additionally, if you look at the history of music, many songs were written about an event that took place to spread the news to younger generations. Just an FYI.
@@melissam3559 Fyi, it's not a good idea to take your history lessons from classic pop songs. When my history teacher tried to convince me that Snoopy didn't fight in World War 1 I laughed right in her face and unleashed my Walkman. Well, the joke was on me because it turns out this song was not historically accurate.
@@marcmcfinn7470 It's not 100% historically accurate. I never said it was. I have been to the Charles Schultz museum and have done research on the Red Baron. I can still sing along to a song while knowing the difference between fact and fiction.
@@melissam3559 Exactly. Snoopy never flew against the Germans in either world war. Furthermore, as a dog he was prevented from serving in the United States Army Air Corp. But that didn't stop him from doing his part. After the United States entered "the big one," Snoopy made his way to the Philippines. There he volunteered his aerial skills to the Flying Tigers. According to historical records, the Imperial Japanese Airforce had no idea how to contend with a dog of his caliber. The Germans were lucky that the U.S. kept him out of European airspace. Apparently, he was merciless.
This was one of my absolute favorite songs as a young child (and Christmas version). I had it on a 45 and played it alot. Fortunately my parents didn't mind. Haha. I love watching this original video because you can see the band is truly enjoying the performance and song itself. Love the dance moves during the brief instrumental. 🙂 Oh to be young again...
I had this 45 in 1974. I was 7. Listened to it over and over along with Dr. Hook’s “Cover of The Rolling Stone,” written by Shel Silverstein. Simpler times for sure.
The funny part about leo singing that, is that the real war person in the scene was brad pitt's character fighiting the hippies whereas leo was just singing and got scared as hell when a hippie appeared ahahahaha
I did this one at Karaoke the other night; now you'd think that most people in the crowd (many were prob 30 or less, I'm 55 and I wore out several 45's and have my original RED album with all three songs on it) would yawn and ignore it, but it seems everybody in that place KNEW this song! It's so ingrained into our psyche.....as soon as I hear the word "ACTHUNG!...... great song! And these guys still live in Ocala, FL and have a FaceBook page!
And every year I strain to hear a song start with distant cannonfire, and the opening of " OH Tannenbaum ... " , for I know it is the start of ' Snoopy's Christmas ' ...
60s and 70s and 80s have their good points and is a better era than today for sure, but it was also a radical liberal social change and music like this cannot compare to Beethoven, Bach or Prußian marching music ;)
What memories of my children listening to these songs when my late husband played this song so many times. I. Heard this song 1966 /67. But it was great. My grandfather worked on the red baron planes during world War one. My family is from Germany I am American born but a military brat. My mother German born lived through World War Germany. Help get people out of Germany then she met my father .
This is one of the many songs my father exposed me to growing up. I was born in '80. In 2016, it really never gets old! Ageless, like much of those tunes he played on the radio.
I fondly remember this song and all the Snoopy and Peanuts craze things going on back then when I was 13. I had the 45 of this record, maybe the first record I owned. I still love Peanuts, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the gang and the TV specials.
when I was a dj on radio, riding the waxes and talking the trash I used to love to put this 45 on the turntable and tap my toes and get in the spirit...loved this song....one big hit for the airwaves back then.
I remember this song was in a magazine it was square shaped 45 i cut it out played it on our record player. I loved it so much my dad got me a snoopy plane had a battery operated propeller it was very cool this song brings back good memories of my childhood
One of my favorite groups, even now. Love this song. They do great covers of other songs. The lead singer is able to transform his voice to fit the song. I also enjoy his solo recordings - Nothing Without You is beautiful. Always wished I could see them live.
Love this song! Wish it had been included on the "Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood" official soundtrack. The Royal Guardsmen were a great Florida band and more than just a novelty act. Plus, the song brilliantly includes a slice of "Louie, Louie" for good measure!
I think that I - IV - V - IV chord progression is a nod to The McCoy's "Hang on Sloopy". The original version contained the words "Hang on Snoopy, Snoopy hang on" sung there. It was removed because of copyright violation concerns.
This is one of the many great 45's I inherited from my aunts and uncles, along with their red-checked suitcase record player. I don't have the record player but I still have all those 45's, including this one. Many good times growing up (in the 70's) listening to this and pretending I was a DJ.
my first record as a kid (snoopys christmas) i still have it now at christmas my kids say whys dad crying when he plays this now i'm 63 & still love this album the stories are great thank you royal guardsmen & C B &snoopy
This is the first record I ever liked. My grandparents had a collection of a few old vinyl records in the closet of their cabin and this was on of the ones on the top of the pile. I remember putting it on the old player in the box and thing how awesome the story was. I listened to it over and over again ever time we went there. It was what got me interested in artists like Johnny Horton and others
I am 65 years old and have always enjoyed that song I lost the record and to night the 3/11/2022 laying on my bed and listening to it after 30 again just made me a very happy person tonight again thanks
I was 8 or 9 when I first loved this song...could not get enough of it...and "Sounds of Silence". O'...I am "batting the Memories away from my face"...they're so thick... Thank You for posting history for me...Gemini Rockets, Charles Schultz, Apollo, Hippies...my older sibs! They were loving and filled with music and poetry and protest and politics...very rich time...good...and bad.
I contend that to this day societies around the world owe hippies a hugh debt of gratitude because they turned the world upside down. 1 example; these days everyone says, "I love you" to each other. That was not a thing until the 80s and 90s and there are still people learning to express themselves and their feelings. I was a few years too young to be a hippie but I am in my mind and soul. P.S. I was determined to raise my son saying I love you to those he cared about and I'll never forget the first time as a very little kid he said it to my Mom. The look on her face was beautiful. And she told him that she loved him too and that was the beginning of the breaking of the ice in our family. Go Hippies!💜
This is classic music, 12 years old all my friends said this is great and it always sticks with me even nowadays, always pull out Snoopy's Christmas around the Thanksgiving through Christmas, and some of the other great songs, keep this alive it's a rarity!
I remember this song from 1966 and was amazed when I found it on a cassette tape in the Dollar store. I took my daughter to Pahrump NV, we left Riverside Ca and drove for 4 hours with this cassette playing the whole way there. They had a blast!!
I've still got this album ! Loved the song because of being a history nut at early age and still young enough to love snoopy. Lil' Red Riding Hood, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are my other favorites on the album. Hard to imagine in two years I was listening to Iron Butterfly's Ina-Godda- Divida. Tastes change a lot when yer a kid.
How anybody could march like that, I will never know? I wonder if the nazi's suffered from repetitive strain injury. In these day's of litigation, they would most likely sue the nazi regime for that?
@@darkoak40 At that time it was not advisable to criticise the nazi regime. My Dad's neighbour (in Frankfurt, after my Dad and his parents had fled to Finland) did, and was immediately thrown into jail.
The goose step has been around since the 1740s and was used to keep men in as tidy and straight ranks as possible. It kept them in cadence better than regular marching and in them days order and clock work drill won the day, having a coherent line maximised fire power and ensured units were in the exact right spot at the right time to enact their role in the battle. The Prussian aimed to be extra good at this thus they made their marching style even more technical and slow which meant they could Position perfectly in battle. The Germans have used it as tradition since then
I remember listening to this back in the summer of 1966 while camping with my family at Millerton Lake. I was 6 y.o. back then, but ahhhhhhh, what great memories. One of my favorite novelties of all time. :)
I love Barry's voice, especially the southern accent. Something made him laugh towards the end and he had that little bit of a chuckle. I like the showmanship, they weren't just standing there. I was a junior in high school and remember that it was played a lot when it was first released. Good memories Barry, hope you're doing well!
Back in the late 70's and early 80's this used to be my fave parents record to put on my parents cabinet record player, turn up volume to max and open the windows to blast it out across town while i bounced obout the house.
I was a young kid but I'm old enough to remember when this song first came out on a 45. It was my dad's favorite song so we bought it for him for his birthday. He has since passed away but the Memory Remains in I smile everytime I hear this song Especially CNN Town Hall I have a pilot now as my dad was.
Left the Navy in '62. Living in the Bronx when this song came out. Sorta played the guitar then and brothers and sisters would sing along. They always made fun of me as I couldn't hit high notes in chorus. Great fun. I still have the book of Snoopy and the Red Barron I got as a Christmas present. Lots of memories and laughs.
My history teacher would play these old songs for us to kinda delve into the feel of these times when learning the stories. When I saw Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood and heard this I screamed 😂
This was a huge hit the year I got my first transistor radio for my ninth or tenth birthday, circa 1967 or '68. Unforgettable. About the same time there was a song about being carted off to "the funny farm."
I think I was about 8 years old when this song came out. I couldn’t get enough and I wore out the 45 record.I am 67 now and I still love this song.
Amen, same as me😊
Same here! I'm 67 now,; I got the 45 for Christmas 1966, and may still have it back in my boxes of old stuff. Awesome song!
This was the first album I ever owned.My parents gave it to me with a portable record player for xmas. And I still have it!
Exact same story here, except sadly I no longer have the record.
@@ScottGrammer , I had one of those but the kid kind. They were made of cardboard, I was born in 61, this came out in 66.

That's not bubble gum , bubble gum is where there is repeating lines !
@@Gertzy41 It was bubble gum all the way. Bubble gum didn't need repeating lines and this song is filled with it anyway.

I was in school in the 60s when this came out, and every kid was singing it! Catchy.
Markus, me too. If we were very good in music class the teacher would play this record for us. What a treat! Lol!
It was popular even in USSR! In late 60's college years in St. Petersburg, when I've got this attached single to magazine Jukebox.

I was in grade school when this came out and listened to it on the radio all the time.
Me too also.
I am 62 and still singing with them. Thanks for posting.
I am 65 years old and have always enjoyed that song I lost the record and to night the 3/11/2022 laying on my bed and listening to it after 30 again just made me a very happy person tonight again thanks
It's gotta be crazy to be these guys and look back on this footage. What a fun time that must have been, filming this.
They did. And they are still together. Most live in or around Ocala FL.
it was a wonderful time
Are they still surprised that so many people remember their music?
It was live, too!
@@QuantumRift It was a national hit and they made no money on it. That business is totally corrupt.
I heard this song when I was a child back in the 60s I really enjoyed hearing back than still do thanks
I was 8 or 9 when I first loved this song...could not get enough of it...and "Sounds of Silence". O'...I am "batting the Memories away from my face"...they're so thick... Thank You for posting history for me...Gemini Rockets, Charles Schultz, Apollo, Hippies...my older sibs! They were loving and filled with music and poetry and protest and politics...very rich time...good...and bad.
I contend that to this day societies around the world owe hippies a hugh debt of gratitude because they turned the world upside down. 1 example; these days everyone says, "I love you" to each other. That was not a thing until the 80s and 90s and there are still people learning to express themselves and their feelings. I was a few years too young to be a hippie but I am in my mind and soul. P.S. I was determined to raise my son saying I love you to those he cared about and I'll never forget the first time as a very little kid he said it to my Mom. The look on her face was beautiful. And she told him that she loved him too and that was the beginning of the breaking of the ice in our family. Go Hippies!💜
I am so glad I found this again. It was deleted for awhile. Broke me heart. So very glad to see it back.
Got a transistor radio for Christmas and this was on. Always a favorite
I was 5 when it came out. As good a listen today as it was back then.
I liked that most the bands in the 60s got dressed up to perform, not so today 🤔(born in 61)
i was 5 years old and remember this so well growing up. Great Christmas memories
今日、55年ぶりに耳に入れられました！映像も目に焼き付けました！至福の至りであります‼️「暁の空中戦」よ 永遠なれ。
This is classic music, 12 years old all my friends said this is great and it always sticks with me even nowadays, always pull out Snoopy's Christmas around the Thanksgiving through Christmas, and some of the other great songs, keep this alive it's a rarity!
First group to actually sample a song at 1:45 Louie Louie.
I grew up in the 80s listening to this album over and over again.
I remember this song from 1966 and was amazed when I found it on a cassette tape in the Dollar store. I took my daughter to Pahrump NV, we left Riverside Ca and drove for 4 hours with this cassette playing the whole way there. They had a blast!!
Riverside?! Whoa small world. And so cool you found their music!
I've still got this album ! Loved the song because of being a history nut at early age and still young enough to love snoopy. Lil' Red Riding Hood, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are my other favorites on the album. Hard to imagine in two years I was listening to Iron Butterfly's Ina-Godda- Divida. Tastes change a lot when yer a kid.
Pretty normal for that time, as we all know so many things changed over night.
First Class. I bought his Best of album 2002 in Budapest.
I was just 7 yrs. old when I heard this song...now I'm 55...still a classic song...;0.
Ah, the goosestep. Very underrated as a dance move, I've always thought.
How anybody could march like that, I will never know? I wonder if the nazi's suffered from repetitive strain injury. In these day's of litigation, they would most likely sue the nazi regime for that?
@@darkoak40 At that time it was not advisable to criticise the nazi regime. My Dad's neighbour (in Frankfurt, after my Dad and his parents had fled to Finland) did, and was immediately thrown into jail.
The goose step has been around since the 1740s and was used to keep men in as tidy and straight ranks as possible. It kept them in cadence better than regular marching and in them days order and clock work drill won the day, having a coherent line maximised fire power and ensured units were in the exact right spot at the right time to enact their role in the battle. The Prussian aimed to be extra good at this thus they made their marching style even more technical and slow which meant they could Position perfectly in battle. The Germans have used it as tradition since then
I was given the album "Loony Tunes" in the 70s, It was the only album I played for years. My sisters taught me to dance using this song.
I REMEMBER WHEN THIS GREAT SONG CAME OUT! NICE VIDEO! THANKS FOR SHARING! R.K. 3/17/2021. I STILL LOVE IT!
I remember listening to this back in the summer of 1966
while camping with my family at Millerton Lake.
I was 6 y.o. back then, but ahhhhhhh, what great memories.
One of my favorite novelties of all time. :)
My mom had this album & i would often sneak it into the stack when the hi-fi was on.
I love Barry's voice, especially the southern accent. Something made him laugh towards the end and he had that little bit of a chuckle. I like the showmanship, they weren't just standing there. I was a junior in high school and remember that it was played a lot when it was first released. Good memories Barry, hope you're doing well!
They were from Florida
Back in the late 70's and early 80's this used to be my fave parents record to put on my parents cabinet record player, turn up volume to max and open the windows to blast it out across town while i bounced obout the house.
I used to do that too! hahahaha
I still do! 53 years young here!
I was a young kid but I'm old enough to remember when this song first came out on a 45. It was my dad's favorite song so we bought it for him for his birthday. He has since passed away but the Memory Remains in I smile everytime I hear this song Especially CNN Town Hall I have a pilot now as my dad was.
6th March 1967 Italy this was the number 1 song
It's great to finally see them perform this song. Thank you.
Some Ocala Florida rockers. I had this album in 1968? Lol😅 still I hear they are on your? Rock on.
First heard this in a class, 2nd grade 1972 Marlboro Elementary Killeen TX. This makes me smile
A monster classic if there ever was one! And then there's the Royal Guardsmen's garage rock masterpiece, "Leaving Me". Amazing stuff.
Left the Navy in '62. Living in the Bronx when this song came out. Sorta played the guitar then and brothers and sisters would sing along. They always made fun of me as I couldn't hit high notes in chorus. Great fun. I still have the book of Snoopy and the Red Barron I got as a Christmas present. Lots of memories and laughs.
This was just fun music back in the day. Not like todays crap!
That takes you back a day or two one hell of a song
I have such good memories of roller skating and dancing to this on skates when I was in Jr. High with my cousin Dale. ☺
When I was a kid I listened to this song a hundred times a day. 2020 and still loving life 🤷🏼♀️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lisa Smith 2020?? Are you a time traveller?
My history teacher would play these old songs for us to kinda delve into the feel of these times when learning the stories. When I saw Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood and heard this I screamed 😂
Snoopy's involvement in WW1 was my favourite topic in 20th Century history too
thanks guys for the joy you brought us with the tales of Snoopy and the baron
This was a huge hit the year I got my first transistor radio for my ninth or tenth birthday, circa 1967 or '68. Unforgettable. About the same time there was a song about being carted off to "the funny farm."
