My mum would play this LP “Take it Greasy” for me as a little kid in the late 80s/early 90s. I’ve since bought it on CD, then ripped it to MP3 when cars stopped having CD players. I’m nearly 37 now and still love the heck out of that record!
Mott theHoople so many songs from our days growing up bring tears to my eyes. It’s depressing to look back, how it was, how we were, but the music, wow, how great was the music. It’s all that’s left of this era, memories but great memories.
1976 St.Michael's primary school Lane Cove - Miss Manzie was the best teacher - even better when as 9yr olds we found out she was Jim Manzies sister! We were heart broken when she became MRS O'Donoghue. One day she got Jim to comne to the school - WILD!
I will never forget when this came out & I was a teenager in Australia already in love with the music of 'Ol 55! I know all the words & will never forget it.
Instant nostalgia when it was first released, still just as good today. Had the great good pleasure of meeting Frankie J. Holden a couple of times, an absolute gentleman, no airs, no graces, though at the time he had his own TV show he was still just a regular bloke and I admired the heck out of him.
I'm listening to it in 2022 so cool to listen to great song with great harmonies bring back the seventies and eighties when music was music not like the crap of today that they call music I feel like the teenagers of today missed out on the simple complete life that we had disco's drive in movies and the cinemas it was like heaven to us and I absolutely loved it love Anthony Fed ex lol
💛💜🕺🏼🥳 Wilbur Wilde, Frankie J Holden Molly running Countdown so young. Great music, cool, laid back then. these great Aussie musicians. Gees there’d be some bloody funny stories from these guys working their buts out on the road to make a buck $ or $$
I want to be at the drive in diner, where they bring you your food on roller skates, eating a cheeseburger, fries, and a cherry coke with this song playing.
Went to a sox hop with them playing in Chatswood Sydney. My boyfriend spent the previous yea r doing up a classic Humber Snipe & out we popped for the HOP!
Back in day as teenagers local radio stations had request and dedication lines,where we could call in request a popular song, dedicate a love song for your steady, my girlfriend would dedicate to me"For your precious love" every now and then Wolfman Jack would be a special DJ guest.
In a huge fan of the seventies and eighties this a great song from a great band of the seventies it was a much simpler life disco's drive in theatres cinemas on a Saturday night the teenagers of today missed out on a great way of living and hoping looking to the future of what was going to happen next the teenagers of today were born into everything that that transpired in that period and don't really appreciate what we didn't have a great way of living and making our on fun teenagers get to bored a word that does not compute with me love Anthony Fed ex lol
I know this song is in some ways a compilation about so many songs back then I just cant remember which ones, any ideas,,, I know its doo wop but some of these chord sequences were used over more than once. keep on searching I guess.
I really enjoyed my high school years but I really wonder about this "Daydream Junior High School" it sounds amazing, perhaps its not too late to request a transfer? Are they accepting new students in their 60s?

I remember this one I have always loved old 55 gee Australia has have a lot of great music artists
This was one of the favourite songs of my friend Weasel. He passed away sadly, at age 18 in 1979. Beautiful but haunting memories.
how many people out there remember when this was new and shed a quiet little tear?

Beautifully sung ♥️
I still have the 1976 "Scorcher" various artists record with song on it.
Many school dance memories of this song playing and dancing to it. Thanks, boys! ❤️
one of all time fav's
The best version Ive ever heard
Rocky Sharpe and the replays is better.English band just a German opinion
Freaking A!!
The last performance of the group was at Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL many years ago. Sadly it is now just a memory.😢
I want to be at the drive in diner, where they bring you your food on roller skates, eating a cheeseburger, fries, and a cherry coke with this song playing.
Like happy days in Arnold's or Mel's drive in in movie American graffiti love Anthony Fed ex lol
@@anthonymensingh1989 ❤ one day ❤
takes me back to Maroubra Seals club in 1975
this is their best song and the best cover version in the world.
Love this song ❤️😍
great version of this song
saw these guys at old tralee raceway in 76 maybe 75
near canberra with skyhooks
Went to a sox hop with them playing in Chatswood Sydney. My boyfriend spent the previous yea
r doing up a classic Humber Snipe & out we popped for the HOP!
Brilliant
Ahhh the brilliant 70s🙂❤️
Now we've turned into oldies but we were newies then..
Being a Gen Z makes me a newie, so don't worry. The new newies still love this song. Or the ones with an actual taste in music do xD
Love being a Gen X we had the best era in music.
Love the band's AUSTRALIA had. No one these days can sing the way
Ol' 55 sang.
Shane Springer
I used to smile at this line when this song came out . I used to think " ah well , I'm only 16 now " . Bloody hell - 63 now !!!
Still love Rockpile’s voice!❤️
This is my pops fav fav song
Love it , rockpile was the man and frankie and band :))
Still listening in 2023

I still own my album from 1977
One of my favourites.
Still have this one vinyl 48
A great sound take me back in time before I was drafted changed me for evet
Legendary band song and album - Take it Greasy👍👍👍
Back in day as teenagers local radio stations had request and dedication lines,where we could call in request a popular song, dedicate a love song for your steady, my girlfriend would dedicate to me"For your precious love" every now and then Wolfman Jack would be a special DJ guest.
So Good!
I miss Australia in the 70s.
Legends!
First tenor into second tenor then into bass, back into second tenor...slide right into bass....Wow...
I love this song and would love to b able to play it on the bass. Do you know where I can find the sheet music?
Kenny Vance did this justice, so did the Ol 55 but Kenny is the King of Brooklyn
They don't make music like this anymore :-(
This when music was REAL music
Could imagine Billy Joel covering this on his 1983 Innocent Man Album
An Aussie classic ❤❤❤❤.
This is music to my ears
Especially For An Angel 👼 Cheryl Ann Innes .. Forever Remembered
Love it!
I always thought it was an original, but it's better than the original. This video is better than the recording.
Check out, Kenny Vance and his version....still keeping DooWop Alive!
I saw fj Holden singing backing vocals
Better than the original
Hey hey, it's Wilbur Wilde!
Ol' 76 is much older in 2020 than Ol' 55 was in 76.
Only by four years which by my age is nada
@@fionagarnier6928 I think his point was that 44 years had passed from ‘76 to 2020 and only 21 years had passed from ‘55 to ‘76.

how young was Molly. Frankie J Holden yeah
I know this song is in some ways a compilation about so many songs back then I just cant remember which ones, any ideas,,, I know its doo wop but some of these chord sequences were used over more than once. keep on searching I guess.
I know it sounds similar to earth angel
But who was " some italian guy?" A great song that i sing to myself quite often.
Kenny Vance and the Planetones own this song! They made it a classic - best doo wop song ever - in my humble opinion!
Sadly that’s not their song. But they did make it their own
" when molly had " hair !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
Nice@
Better than the original.
What's the original
Kenny Vance
cool
Yes prowlin with the boys on a saterday night.
Rockpile playing a f*cking nylon string!!!
Love Oz. You don't comply.
Was a good song
I really enjoyed my high school years but I really wonder about this "Daydream Junior High School" it sounds amazing, perhaps its not too late to request a transfer? Are they accepting new students in their 60s?
This was music
Looking for an echo
