Awwww I loved that song! In my 60’s and not a day goes by that there’s not music in my house or outside. 70’s was the decade of such awesome music! Had a blast back then!
I was ten when this song came out. I was super surprised when it was on the soundtrack to Gaurdians Of The Galaxy. Then my 9 &10 year old grandchildren became a fan of the song.
This song was Silver's one and only Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song did peaked at the #15 spot in the late summer of 1976. By the way, this group was discovered by the great music producer, Clive Davis. It's a definitely banger indeed!!!
@@Flowerchick1967-tq1vn I discovered that particular song was one of the few sung by the drummer (quite different than they're other material) 💯 in the Yacht Rock vein but top of the list. Probably favorite of that genre. There other material imore country( bluegrass) rock. " If You Wanns Get To Heaven" Is absolutely fantastic and if put out today would be a hit. The harmonica is 🔥 If unfamiliar let me know what you think.
This song was wonderfully used in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, and the band members were extremely appreciative to James Gunn for using it in the film. The hook of this song is awesome.
Almost a surprise, since the bigger budget, the second film largely left the one-hit wonders behind. Other songs in that film included "Mr Blue Sky", "The Chain" (2x), "Fox on the Run" and "Father to Son", all by bigger artists.
Classic '70s skating rink tune. Lots of great, catchy one-hit wonders from 72-78-- this is one of them. I came of age in the mid-'70s, and still remember this song. Boy, does it bring back early teenage memories. I honestly can't believe you dug this one out of obscurity.
@@dewdew34 that was a little bit later (1980), but yeah... you totally get it! When I was hitting the rinks around 72-76, it was stuff like "Rock the Boat" (Hughes Corporation), "Fox On the Run" (Sweet), "Slow Ride" (Foghat) and Grand Funk's cover of "Loco-Motion". Then there were the notorious "couples-only" skating classics-- about half of the Carpenters songs, among many others. 🙂
I absolutely love this song. I'm 56 years old and consider myself a major music aficionado. How did I not discover this song until Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2? At any rate, thanks so much for reviewing. Have a good week ahead guys.
If you’ve heard it before really depended on where you lived in the late 70’s. I was 10 in 1976 and I lived in Santa Barbara, California (back when it was affordable and much better than it is now!) and the radio stations played it a lot. You’d also hear it in stores or restaurants. It wasn’t considered “cool” to like pop music back then, you had to like rock and hard rock, but this song was one that everyone seemed to like because it wasn’t goofy or disco.
I was 10-20 in San Diego in the '70s. I don't recall this song or group either. I can't say that I never heard it, but it may not have been that memorable. Maybe they didn't play it here on KGB or KPRI.
If you're still looking for '70s artists, then consider reacting to Roxy Music. They were incredibly ground-breaking and influential. With the release of their 1975 song "Love is the Drug" they essentially wrote the playbook for '80s music. It's insanely good.
Glad you two enjoyed. I hope to get you to cover one of my fav one hit wonders. The two headed monster known as This Beat Goes On/Switching to Glide by The Kings. Two singles merged into a pop/New Wave-ish banger that aches for the weekend and good times. The tune has 5.4 million views on UA-cam and don't be surprised if the band comments on your video. They are down to earth, still touring and care very much for their fans. Their video for the tune is phenomenal.
I’ve never heard of the band or the group. Was this widely suggested? Just because there are many great one hit wonders you could hit, and I hate to say it, but this is kind of awful. I always try to be positive, but just not my cup of tea. …….. try the band Thunderclap Newman for a banger of a one hit.
Despite the lyrics this has that easy-breezy sunny 70's feel to it, in the same vein as songs like "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" or "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and many more.
@@snowbirdlady7221 LOL, I didn't say they were good, just that they have that goofy sunny Saturday seventies vibe. I think "Jeans On" is catchy though.
I'm 65 and know my music. I have never heard this before and don't wish to hear it again. It's one of the only songs I've heard on this channel that I cut off before it was done.
I was 18 in 1976 and I was listening to everything out there at the time and, I swear, I've never heard this song until 5 minutes ago. But it sounds just like the kind of cheesy one hit wonder that would have come out then. Sounds like something you'd hear in the game room down at the lake.
Me too. A high school senior in 76, and listening to NYC radio the whole time, & I've never heard this song before. And by the way, I'm TOTALLY mystified as to why you think this is any good. It sounds like total prefab commercial garbage to me, and I have PLENTY of commercial top-40 crap songs from the 70's etched into my mind to compare it to. (Ever heard "Billy Don't Be a Hero" ?} Comparing this *in any way* to Steely Dan ??!? Please. PS: The 1970's was "The Decade of the Major Seventh Chord."
I feel like Alex did the April Fools Day Andy had him listen to the Shaggs My Pal Foot Foot. I think we’ve been punked; at least I hope we have. Oh well, different strokes for different folks. 😂
WOW! I totally forgot about this song. I haven’t heard it in at least 30 years and the words spilled out of my mouth, singing along like I listen to it every day. That feels a bit odd since I don’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday.
Yeah ‘77 here! Loved that they put it In Guardians of the Galaxy! When I watched I was like yes! But the movie(s) has some of the best music ever! Of course!!
Oh yeah, quintessential mid-70s pop sound, thanks for this one! I remember this was out around the same time as pop classics like Starbuck's "Moonlight Feels Right" and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' "Jackie Blue." Also "Magic" by Pilot and "How Long" by Ace. Just a fun, memorable '70s sound.
I consider myself pretty well-versed in music of the 60's, 70's & beyond. And I have NEVER heard this "1-Hit Wonder". I think once will suffice for me.
For those of you who don't know what a 45 is, it's not a gun, lol. It's a tiny vinyl record that required an RPM of 45 compared to the speed of LP records, which was 33 RPM.
@@viclagina347 explaining 45rpm is probably a wise thing…. I actually have several 78s, (they were inherited, tho’). The record player that accommodates them is pretty old, too! 🤪
Nope. No wonder I hadn't heard (or at least remembered) it. I thought it sucked. Back "in the day" the different radio stations played VERY distinctly different playlists. The good stuff was on WLS Chicago and of course, KAAY Little Rock with Beeker Street and Clyde Clifford. This would have never been on them, so wouldn't have heard it.
Never ceases to amaze when I hear a song from the 70s for the first time this many years later that just never got any or very limited airplay in the South. Thanks guys for putting it up.
Tom Leadon on bass, vocals, brother of The Eagles Bernie Leadon. Peaked at No. 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 the week of October 2, 1976. don't remember this one at all.
I don't remember ever hearing this song on the radio back in the day, but if I had I would have turned it off. Even as a One Hit Wonder it fared poorly, ranking #70 for the year. Once more a request for The Kinks - Ducks on the Wall.
And just like that... I'm transported back to the pool at Holiday Valley 1976. Five years old and third degree sunburn over most of my body... Sunscreen? What's that? I'm gonna get another snow cone.
Well hells bells!! .. I am today years old hearing this for the first time 🤔 I don't have a clue how that happened. I feel cheated🫤 On a good note .. Thank you Andy & Alex for giving me a new/old tune to enjoy. THANK YOU!! Cheers Gents & b safe🥃🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼
I don't remember this song, and I'm okay with that. How you could possibly equate this with Steely Dan is beyond me. And now for something completely different....how about.. David Bowie "Aladdin Sane"
I’m in my mid 60s and thought that I had pretty much heard the songs from this era but somehow I missed this one. it could that I was listening to rock music and not so much pop music
Not steely Dan level, if I said that I misspoke, it was trying to convey it feels very similar. In style I think that’s pretty clear, it doesn’t have the same depth musically or lyrically. It’s a fun pop rock song, I’m not taking it as more than that. A song can just be catchy and nice to listen to I think this one did that
This song is in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2. I love this song. Still have the 45 of this, in my vinyl collection. The soundtracks for Guardians are all good. I agree this is a banger. As always totally enjoyable reaction. Love your auxillary studio. Peeeace Ouuuttt
It's crazy. I haven't heard this song in YEARS, yet I still remember the lyrics as if it was just yesterday. It might just be a one hit wonder, but it's a memorable one hit wonder.
Their style reminds me of a mix of Firefall- (Cinderella, Just Remember I love You) and Little River Band- (Reminiscing, Cool Change, Help is on its Way)
Was shocked to see this song being reacted to as it was not a huge hit, though I have always had a fondness for it, so happy to see it here! Probably because I was just the right age as I would have been going thru puberty so music was really hitting me hard for the first time, but I feel that overall the pop songs of the mid-1970s (including this) are the best pop music of all-time.
Long before generic playlists were pushed on us, there were hit songs that went unheard in other cities, provinces/states, and countries. This is new to me, it'll probably be played again. Thanks A&A.
Been a Silver fan since I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. When I got into collecting vinyl records shortly after that, Silver's self-titled (and only) album was the first LP I ever bought. The rest of the album is amazing too. All I Wanna Do, Trust In Somebody, and Climbing in my opinion even rival Wham Bam in quality.
Man! I haven't heard this song in DECADES. But there could be a reason. It is okay, but a bit generic. I guess the lyrics were what got it on the radio, but probably the generic sound that kept it from being a lasting one-hit-WONDER. Wild Cherry's Play tha Funky Music was an actual "Wonder". The song is easy to listen to but I never want to go back to it. We agree to disagree on this one :-)
Never heard this song ….. but it sounds like I could have and don’t remember. In other words it sounds like many many songs from that period it’s nice. Would have been a natural for wide radio play
At the time of it's release,, this MUST HEAR classic caused so much controversy that most radio stations refused to play it,, The Buoys "Timothy"..TRUST ME on this one!!
Awful, 1 hit wonder crap ……IF it was a hit, which it wasn’t….. and a waste of todays reaction. Maybe I’m wrong and I always thought the purpose of this channel was to have young people listen to, and react to some of the more seminal and foundational songs in the history of rock and roll, pop, Motown, etc. Hence, my appreciation of their reaction to the magical mystery tour album on Patreon. But this song, even if people loved it in the day, is not significant in the evolution of rock ‘n’ roll.
Good points. They do use Mondays for some things that they know and wish to share with each other and us, which is okay sometimes. The problem is that they do so few videos, that they are missing some very top tier pieces, year after year. And I am mystified that David Bowie's "Golden Years" is only B-. Imagine trying to explain to Mr. Bowie that, "Yeah, that adventurous piece you brilliantly crafted with Brian Eno, only a B-, I'm afraid. Try better next time."
I don't often dislike songs but this is terrible. So much good stuff out there to choose from. This is just dumb--like someone sanded all the cool edges off of disco and put it out like a lump of coal in our collective music stockings.

Extremely catchy pop song. I'm a sucker for 70s pop. The fact that it has rarely been played since '76 makes it sound all the better.

OMG! It's been forever since I've heard this song! It's such a smooth vibe! This was one of my favs. I even bought the 45! Thanks for the memories!
One song that deserves more reactions, especially from this channel, is “How Much I Feel” - Ambrosia
This song was Silver's one and only Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song did peaked at the #15 spot in the late summer of 1976. By the way, this group was discovered by the great music producer, Clive Davis. It's a definitely banger indeed!!!
Thanks for reviewing this. Great song from the summer of 1976. One of my favorites. Classic Rock/ Country tune.
Used to play this record all the time, but it was so long ago I forgot it existed. Thanks for bringing this back into my life.
That was the best definition of an S-tier song I think I’ve heard.
S- tier? A new one to me. Always learning in my 61 yrs!
Good song. No wonder it was included in one of the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
This song is on the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack. 😅
@@roystoyscomics1361 I forgot which Galaxy movies it was in. Thanks! 👍
Yes!!!
It's in the scene where they attack ego's planet in the mining ship.
For this genre & exact time period
Ozark Mountain Daredevils- Jackie Blue.( 75)
One of my favorite songs of all time 👍🏻🔥
@@Flowerchick1967-tq1vn
I discovered that particular song was one of the few sung by the drummer (quite different than they're other material) 💯 in the Yacht Rock vein but top of the list. Probably favorite of that genre.

" If You Wanns Get To Heaven"
Is absolutely fantastic and if put out today would be a hit. The harmonica is 🔥
If unfamiliar let me know what you think.
Great song
Was this in one of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies?
Oh wow it was! I thought it sounded semi familiar.
It was in GOTG 2. It was playing when they were going to kill Ego's brain and they were attacked by the Sovereign. Great music for that scene.
This song was wonderfully used in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, and the band members were extremely appreciative to James Gunn for using it in the film. The hook of this song is awesome.

Boomer here. I feel the same!
This is certainly a first listen for me too I thought I knew a lot of things but nothing registers on this one Thanks for sharing
Bloody hell! I've just heard a song on your channel that I've never heard before.
Geez, I spent 5-14 in the 70s and don't recall ever hearing this before! Probably a first for me of songs you two have listened to!
I was 12-22 in the 70's, listened to 'everything', and I never heard of them either, but it's good.

Quit sleeping on Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds, Fallin In Love, classic soulful pop of the 70s and on Playboy records.

Wish I could "like" more than once. Roxy Music are so so so great!
@@junietunes2148 it's just unreal that they haven't heard any Roxy yet.
Roxy Music is their own genre in my opinion. Maybe because it was such good weed music.😂
I love "Limbo" from the Bete Noir album !!!!!
They definitely need to hit so much of Roxy Music
Glad you two enjoyed. I hope to get you to cover one of my fav one hit wonders. The two headed monster known as This Beat Goes On/Switching to Glide by The Kings.

Ah, yes! Now that you've put it in context, it's all coming back to me. Initially had a very dim recollection of this song.
And "Sky High" by Jigsaw
"Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson comes to mind too.
Magnet and Steel by Walter Egan is another great late 70’s pop tune.

Oh my word! Long long ago. BTW...love the legs! Lol

Same here. The level of pop was too much for me.
This is not a banger - it works for Guardians of the Galaxy, but other than that it is not an A+.
Opinions are like assholes.... everyone has one and they all stink

same here. We are obviously about the same age. Going through the pre-teen and teen years was great when you had the 1970's as a backdrop.
The best one hit wonder you've never heard is Sausalito Summer Nights by Diesel. You'd be hard pressed to find a catchier guitar riff.
Second that. Super catchy tune.
Third that. Steve Miller's favourite one-hit wonder, BTW!
Did you find this at a garage sale in Florida 🤣
Digging the Auxiliary Freedom Shack, btw.
Never heard of it but not a bad yacht rock song
In my area it was a "No hit wonder". It played like 3 times, and the radio station said....."ummm, no.." I agreed.
Long before generic playlists were pushed on us, there were hit songs that went unheard in other cities, provinces/states, and countries. This is new to me, it'll probably be played again. Thanks A&A.
Number of songs A&A have done by Silver = 1
Number of songs A&A have done by the GOAT Prince = 0
You'd expect more from college grads.
It's also kinda amazing what you two consider "easy listening." Wait until you're in your 50s and discover actual easy listening.
We have some prince reactions on patreon, he just blocks or we would do more on here
Been a Silver fan since I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. When I got into collecting vinyl records shortly after that, Silver's self-titled (and only) album was the first LP I ever bought. The rest of the album is amazing too. All I Wanna Do, Trust In Somebody, and Climbing in my opinion even rival Wham Bam in quality.
Wow, I missed this one in 1976-- so glad you dredged it up for us. I added it to my playlist-- thanks!
Man! I haven't heard this song in DECADES. But there could be a reason. It is okay, but a bit generic. I guess the lyrics were what got it on the radio, but probably the generic sound that kept it from being a lasting one-hit-WONDER. Wild Cherry's Play tha Funky Music was an actual "Wonder". The song is easy to listen to but I never want to go back to it. We agree to disagree on this one :-)
Never heard this song ….. but it sounds like I could have and don’t remember. In other words it sounds like many many songs from that period it’s nice. Would have been a natural for wide radio play
At the time of it's release,, this MUST HEAR classic caused so much controversy that most radio stations refused to play it,, The Buoys "Timothy"..TRUST ME on this one!!
A sweet ditty about cannibalism.
If you liked that you'll like Sky High by Jigsaw. Also a one hit wonder. Very similar vein .
Jigsaw had another hit called "Love Fire". I like it better. Check it out 👍
See ya Wednesday ☮💜
I had totally forgot about this song. Thanks to you; I now have to work on forgetting it again. 😂
Awful, 1 hit wonder crap ……IF it was a hit, which it wasn’t….. and a waste of todays reaction. Maybe I’m wrong and I always thought the purpose of this channel was to have young people listen to, and react to some of the more seminal and foundational songs in the history of rock and roll, pop, Motown, etc. Hence, my appreciation of their reaction to the magical mystery tour album on Patreon. But this song, even if people loved it in the day, is not significant in the evolution of rock ‘n’ roll.
Good points. They do use Mondays for some things that they know and wish to share with each other and us, which is okay sometimes. The problem is that they do so few videos, that they are missing some very top tier pieces, year after year. And I am mystified that David Bowie's "Golden Years" is only B-. Imagine trying to explain to Mr. Bowie that, "Yeah, that adventurous piece you brilliantly crafted with Brian Eno, only a B-, I'm afraid. Try better next time."
Beta testing the "Guest Room".... nice
Back Stage Access folks should have a Lil contest to name it
Sorry, but I thought this song mediocre at best. Somehow, I don't remember it. Maybe it wasn't a hit where I was.....
I don't often dislike songs but this is terrible. So much good stuff out there to choose from. This is just dumb--like someone sanded all the cool edges off of disco and put it out like a lump of coal in our collective music stockings.
