Lyrics:
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be
Now I don't claim to be an 'A' student
But I'm trying to be
For maybe by being an 'A' student, baby
I can win your love for me
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
History
Biology
Science book
French I took, yeah
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

The people who disliked this song know a lot about history, biology, a science book, and the French they took.
LMAO
Late but underated
Why do you have the CursedComments profile pic?
💯💯💯
never took French but Math and i were never friends sadly a lot of people only remember this song from The Witness
Na, they are just misclicks. Right......
He died at 33 in 1964
But left his voice for us.
Thank you Sam Cook
Rip sam cooke and but millions of people still celebrate his contributions
How?
@@streetcat1510English book in cambodia
Same exact age John Belushi died at, who of course is famous for a scene this song is associated with
@@streetcat1510shot by the owner of the hotel he was staying at. Maybe acting a fool? Who knows, it was the '60's
Anyone that can stick the word "trigonometry" in a song deserves my undying respect.
😂
Any math term can just be referred to as hell 😂

when my mum was in the hospital before she died the nurses said this was the last song she danced to before dying. love you mum
the very first song I played to my son literally minutes after his birth.. Beautiful song for some incredible moments
She must have been a Great Lady. I'm glad she taught you well.
my mom would sing this in the house all the time. her bday was today. RIP mummy. Love you.
RIP Mumma bear xx
My mom always did also she just had stroke not long ago but coming back strong
R.I.P to your mom my friend
RIP Queen mum
Same for my dad. RIP to both
RIP
This song is solid proof that not every song has to be musically complex for it to be emotionally effective.
listen to the guitar on this song and then talk about musical complexity.
The most emotionally effective songs are simple.
@@mattyfrench2121 No. I wouldnt go that far. A complex song can be just as emotional as a simple one.
Not musically complex but lyrically deep if you understand it
@@clinteastwood8323
If that were true, this song would not be proof of it; it is considerably more complex than talking to a chair.
Shoutout to all the people listening to this, you have great taste in music.
You too my friend!
Anyone have any recommendations of old bangers like this song?
Thank you
Cheers man
One of the best songs he had.
Sam Cooke was ahead of his time. One of the greatest singers of All TIME.
Timeless is what Sam's music is. Love all of his songs.
I concur 💯. Great soul
And the word on the street on those days was that he had a very large "talent", if you know what I mean. A man blessed with inches and girth :-)
Straight
You're partially correct David... Sam Cooke Was the greatest and is Still the greatest. There has been no one his equal.
In 1967, I was drafted in the Army, and sent to a Navy Base in Little Creek VA. Being so homesick, we would go to the gedunk to get a burger and Sam Cooke's songs would be playing in the back ground. Made me feel human again!
I feel like this isn't the song I should be listening to while doing homework.
Blaze6432 honestly yes it should be
It talks about education or lack there of. 1+1=2
HAHAHA
Just “...don’t claim to be an A student, baby”
Blaze6432 😂❤️👍
I don't know much about arpeggios,
Don't know much about blues or soul,
Don't know much about hip hop or rap,
Don't know much about any of that,
But l do know Sam Cooke is cool,
I didn't learn that in school,
And l know if we can sing along,
What a wonderful world it will be...
I remember Harrison Ford dancing with Kelly McGillis in Witness to this song around a Volkswagen Beetle. Great movie. It was a beautiful moment in cinema history. Thank you Sam Cooke for that voice
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
Yep, same for me. Every time I hear this song I see Harrison and Kelly dancing among the Amish.
“I don’t know much about the French i took” Same bro, same
Same but it's worse since I have French citizenship.
Same. 4 years of "studying" French, and all I end up with is "Je ne parle pas francais."
Don't worry guys. Even us the French people can't speak our language properly.
Most relatable line in the song
ours was Spanish
It truly is sad the way Mr. Cooke died but it must bring him some happiness knowing that us on planet Earth are still enjoying his music.
Devin Petersen you mean kidnapping a women and attacking another yea real sad
Brain you truly don't that was you there if so tell us the true story of how this man was beaten so bad that his nose was almost beaten off his face and his neck almost cut clean off oh and shot as well. I'm clearly not holding up for Sam's mistakes but no should die like that no one. Think about this. He with out sin cast the first stone I'm pretty sure you won't be casting any stones any time soon my friend no one will for we all have sin even you.
@@timnorris2799 also, very intresting that the girl he was with just happened to take his pants with her that had a bunch of money in them. And people from the place they came fom said that she came willingly with him. I smell a coverup
@@charles7623 i have no idea about his story. Can you tell me the gist of it?
@@AA-sn9lz his story?
My sixth grade geography teacher showed me this song. One day I ran into him outside a church I didnt normally attend. He was filled with joy it was infectious! I may not know algebra or the French I took (seriously* 7th and 8th grade) but I will always remember my geography. ❤
Hello how are you doing!!
@@JosephRobert-yr9gp : NO WAY! I'd love to see where Brittany responds!
Always loved Sam's music. Brings back so many memories of listening to him on the jukebox in the city with my friend on a Saturday night. Cupid was my favourite and i was only 15yrs old. Now I'm pushing 70 and i still dance around my lounge room to this guy.
Hello how are you doing!!
Seems a lot of people don't understand what this song is about.... The song was written with the theme that neither knowledge nor education can dictate feelings, but that love "could make the world a wonderful place." The record label didn't take the song seriously but Cooke made sure it was recorded... After this song he started taking more of a stance in the civil rights movement which pretty clearly shows where his head was at when he was singing the song... African Americans were told all the time about how they don't know or understand complex things and here comes Cooke singing that love will make the world a better place not the fact that he's not well educated. Don't let the lighthearted tempo fool you, this song is profound.
Spot on!!!!
!!
An excellent analysis of a great song. Intelligence and education are essential, but they alone won't save the world. The root cause of the wonder of the world is love.
At least in his musical persona, Sam Cooke was a really cool guy.
And here I thought this was just a simple love song...
@@msbae It is.
Damn that voice is straight out of heaven.
Sam Cooke was considered the King of Soul
He's Been there 55 years now....
YES!!!!!!!
Talk about a voice from heaven
Try listening to Judith Durham with the Seekers and some of their greatest hits
Like colors of my life ill never find another you Georgy girl All over the world
Just to name a few of their great songs
@@tammybarnes421 Sam's voice just aroused joyful feelings in the listener!!!!! he was way beyond gifted!!!
Sam Cooke will go down in history as the singer that changed the world.
Don't forget Marvin
One of the most beautiful voices ever. Soulful,playful,powerful all at once
What kind of jerks are disliking this song?! 😳
Hitler
Sam Cooke had such a great 'hollow' sound in his voice...effortless...perfect
@@louisegoodyear25151:51
This song just makes me feel so happy and Sam Cooke's voice is just magic.
+Jasmine L nah! go listen fucking ncs bruh! #NoCopyrightSounds
u can even use their songs in ur videos for free P.S. This is dubstep thank you!
This is my opinion.
+Durr Planter fuck you
Agreed
this song make me feel happy when lifes going good but when its going bad it don't help
TechNOGeek Reviewz I kind of feel the opposite. Even when I'm having a shit day I need to listen to it to try to not get even more down and depressed.
What a wonderful song from a wonderful human being taken to soon in 1964 murdered a year before his good friend Malcolm X. RIP.
"Someday, the people of the world will want to live in peace and be friends, and the politicians will not be able to stop them."

17 years ago my father took his life. I’m still figuring out life day by day. I’m 22 now and doing what I can with what I got. 3 months ago I found out my mom decided to take her life as well. Now I’m still lost and trying to find answers but every now and then I’ll come here and for the short time I have I feel at peace. Whoever else is feeling lost or needs someone to talk to im here. I hope everyone who reads this has a good day and takes care of themselves.
You too!!also we all pass on one day wether we like it or not!it's the truth.no point on trying to take yourself out cause its going to happen in the end.......
God bless you Thad. You are an encouragement to others.
I'm proud of you for loving the world. You're my hero. You're gonna do great
I'm praying for you! Im sorry for your pain.
I am coming back to this comment because I wanted to say- please take a careful, yet awesome, shot at loving yourself. I am trying to do that right now. Gosh it's so difficult, but I know if I get through (one way or another) than I will be better :)
"Sam Cooke is one of the greatest Earth singers of all time!"
yeah but them mars singers are like 10× better

I don’t give a F**k where you came from. Just enjoy this masterpiece
Thomas Barresi lol
Sam could sing the phonebook and it would be emotionally profound. Greatest singer ever. May God rest his soul.
I don’t know why, I woke up with this song in my head. What a great song.
I'm in high school and this sums up my life
honestly (imo)not that bad.
+TheAdvanced Knine Hellz yeah
I just finished the year with all A's so I guess this isn't my song anymore. Damnit I love this song
Love hurts

We learned this song in English class when I was in elementary school and I still remember the lyrics! Songs are the most effective way to learn a language by far they stick with you for years (or even forever)
I learn this from US Democrat party lol.
Omg me too! Do you live in Germany by any chance?
lmaoooo me too this just popped up in my mind, l learned this in 3rd grade.
@@onlyforcomments8836 i live in Germany and we also had this Song
We even learned it here in Germany in 6th grade english class
Thank you GradeAUnderA for introducing me to this wonderful song.
The Tommy Wiseau?
Same here!!! :)
+John Oliver Hi Johnny, I didn't know it was you.
I'm proudly related to Sam Cooke
+Tommy Wiseau oh hai mark
the teenage anthem
If your here in 2021, you have a great taste in music.
Thanks you too lol
🥺
:)
I will agree with you on that one
thank you😃oh and also i know this song from my music teacher so ig she has a good taste too
Sam cooke wrote most of these songs and he was given a voice by god to sing thrn to touch the hearts of man and woman, but like all good things god give man he lets satan get in him to destroy it!! REST IN PARADISE SAM, I WILL SEE AND HEAR YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE AGAIN SOMEDAY!!
Sam Cooke was 1 of my dads favorite singers when i was a little boy & now i find myself listening to the same songs. He passed away way to young. . . both of them. . . Rip guys
You obviously love both your parents. You are blessed to have had them in your life, and the music that keeps you connected to them.
Don't know much about anything...but I do know that I like Sam Cooke!
I like Sam more!!!
Such an outstanding personality but it's painful that he had to go so soon...
Hello, how're you doing hope you're staying safe and okay??
Hello how are you doing!!
Shout out to my middle school teacher Mrs. Morgan for playing Sam Cooke I'm class.
Love his songs. I’m from another generation and he sure was talented
Anyone here cuz this a damn good song??
MrYellingdingo no
Yep!
MrYellingdingo yes
I love this video ♥️😙
I heard this in an advertisement, wrote down some of the lyrics, typed down the lyrics in the bar, pressed enter
and came to this masterpiece
“If more people loved each other, the world would be a wonderful place”
😊いい歌だなぁ~!!!✌
子供の頃に聞いたのかなぁ〜？懐しい曲だ！
今、60だけど…
love will find a way
if ur still watching this in 2020 u have good taste in music
2021
This song used used to be my dads favorite for a long time! wish he was still here, sadly passed away in january this year. I love you dad.
Fly high
Rest in paradise Pops!!!
Dad had favorites too. We Love our Dads. ❤️☺️👍🏻
18 years ago today I looked up this song to alleviate my Katrina fears. Now I'm sending it to the man I love 💖
"Don't know much about Algebra" ...I felt that😪
Always loved Sam. Gone to soon.
Amen!!! What a guy!!!
Well it's a wonderful world that the young with great talents die so soon..
How're you doing hope you're staying safe and okay?
Hello Kay how are you doing today!!!
This song teaches me that whenever i fail, i should always look at the positive side
Christina Carolina311 love is always positive
People are more than one thing.
Grew up listening to #SamCooke. On weekends my mom would let me stay up late listening to music. And, his music was some of my favorite to listen to 😊❤🎹🎸🎺🎷💝💙❤️💜
Hello Sharon how are you doing!!
What a Wonderful World this would be ☝️
Such a soulful song from the King of Soul! Sam Cooke was that dude! Hell, he still is!
"Was that dude" Kub scouts reference
Sam's music still gets to me.... Love you Sam Cooke
Sam music still touches me that man had a voice would move u I remember all those oldies and do love them they all has a good memory for me.
My father in law just gave me this album. August 2023. I grew up listening to this stuff. My father liked Motown, r and b, etc in the 60s and 70s. Great great music🙋✌️❤️
Music is the only thing that can get my mind off of my negative feelings and feeling down in the dumps. Music was a great way for our soldiers to be able to get their attention off the awful stuff they had to go through in veitnam. Music is the best medicine that you don't need a prescription for. I don't even own a television anymore I listen to the music on my phone. I would like to be able to sing but I can't carry a tune in a bucket. 😂 lol.
RIP Sam Cooke , may his legacy live on
Why would anyone thumbs down this perfect piece of pop music? Beautiful singer and a truly great track!
Catherine Connelly They meant to hit the like button and they missed...
Exactly.
Catherine Connelly they dont know music
Let's hope they were maybe knocking the accompanying video to the song and not the song itself. If they were, well it is their loss, and a big one it is.
It was all his history,biology, trigonometry,geometry,algebra, teachers disappointed at him because he didnt learn anything
R.I.P 🌹🌹🌹
Its 2019 who else is still listening awesome song
YyO***'
I sure am because I love this song so much
@@nathanhannah8736 'Sam' Cooke' made the writer's song 'Happen'!
Me
Me too Anand! Sam Cooke music legend, will live on in our memories forever!
I never knew this songs names was “What a Wonderful World”..... I always thought it was “Don’t Know Much About”!
Superb song - Sam spoke a simple lesson to all that went far beyond his homeland - growing up in Northern Ireland during the so called troubles - My hero John Hume said
“Difference is the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth, and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity.”
Thanks to the tireless and brave work by many my son aged 20 has now grown up in peace
Holy crap!!!!! OK, now I get Steve Perry's being influenced by Sam Cooke, amazing! :O
I think so too, finally is love.
God's Love ..John 3:16
1:38 to 1:52 is my favorite part. So much soul it gave me chills.
Me too man. It gives me goosebumps, makes me nostalgic and happy. It takes me away. Life is good!!
I thought I was the only one to feel stuff like this when listening to great music. Now I'm not.
It's so sad...
I remember driving around with my dad listening to oldies... I miss you pops 😢 😪 😞
This is the best version of ths song, period. Aalon Butler's guitar work along with Eric's vocals, both are outstanding.
This song is still timeless for me in 2019. I wish my generation could experience real love.
I think you've got some hope for this generation to experience real love (because of me)
I love Sam's songs! It's Feb. 26, 2021.
What do you mean? I think I generation definitely experiences real live as all generations have had with one person or another
With a heart like yours, be an embassador in your corner of the world and "play it forward," literally. Not just buying a coffee for someone behind you,( which is so cool, happened to me 2 times in a row this week). but listening, dancing and loving music together, with the emphasis on loving.
I am 70. I was in the middle of "all this"
Not the beginning, but not the end...we're not finished yet, getting it right.
And real music.
My freshman year I had all these classes in this song and it's true, when I saw her, all those subjects just went out the window.....Peace!
Haha, you made me smile there friend :) Keep it up!
Same
Wtf trig and algebra same year
So true. This song makes me think of how I've forgotten most of the classes I took in university but I remember the girls :)
Her?
What a wonderful world this would be if we had more of this kind of music
Anytime there's a scene in a movie or a show where somebody has to study for class, this song seriously needs to be played.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
Sam Cooke's voice is magic
Can't be duplicated
The day i discovered there's a another What A Wonderful World
Listen to I've gotta be me
4 real
The one and only Sam Cooke. RIP
Our teacher used to put this on all the time during our science class or whatever it's called in english. Were soon done there, and since this is our last time we will see him in probably forever, some of us have aranged to play this song for him, one last time to show our appreciation. :)
A song that reminds that heart is more knowing than brain or its intellect, and what a wonderful world it would be if we remembered that Love is supreme. Didn’t Albert Einstein say something related to that, about how the mind is better as the servant rather than the master?
Thinking, and heart tells me too, guessing from your thoughtful gesture to your teacher, that you and fellow students have learned the greater lesson.
Upon its initial release in 1960, this song only reached Number 27 in the UK Charts. In March 1986, it was reissued as a single after being featured in a Levi's Jeans advert. This reissue peaked at Number 2 in the UK and Number 4 in Ireland.
16 years and enjoy all of Sam Cooke’s records 😍
same
Keep it up ❤
I am so happy these songs live on forever.
My good taste in music brought me here. I thank myself. 😊
Uhh same 😁

Who's the drummer man! He's awesome!

Brilliant song
Portrayed by dancing to this in Witness
Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis
Very nostalgic in my teen years
The great Sam Cooke. Beautiful soulful voice. Love him. Not of my era but this was great music.
Hello josweet
What A Wonderful World :)
current world is an utter mad house
Yup,i wish we lived in a wonderful world
We all wish it, brother
20th century cold war era must have been even worse
communist kill 80 million people, yet here you are talking about USA
"To be loved by such a simple, honest, simple man."
My first time listening to this song. Oh my God what a hit it is 😱
What a beautiful voice. I used to listen to my late father play Sam Cooke records. Cupid, You Send Me, Chain Gang and the brilliant A Change Is Gonna Come. I have a best of Sam Cooke cd with all of these tracks and more which I play about once a week. Such beautiful music.
These songs remind me of spending time with my grandma as a kid. The songs of this era were the songs she'd play n I'd sing along with her.
Sam Cooke even though I did not know him,his songs remain me of my Mother, who I love dearly RIP mother,and Mr. Sam Cooke
I watched witness last night, im 16 years old and that song plus harrison ford is my entire life
SAM COOKE SINGS FROM HIS SOUL ❤
The message of this song is very clearly powerful while simple. That’s amazing!
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
@@LewisRichard-by5wr that’s very true !! 🤙
Sam Cooke is my spirit animal
This song in The Witness and Harrison Ford dancing with Kelly McGillis is one of the most sensual and restrained scene of undeclared love I have ever seen. It sends my heart racing despite the dozen times I have watched it .
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
One of the greatest voices ever.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
old songs like this make me so calm and mellow
