Same as learned about this song through my dad also. And Mungo Jerry in the summer time plus a lot of queen. Great dad and great era/genre of music. Oh yeah can't forget t-rex ride a white swan. Nights in white satin etc
I was 15 in April 1993 when this version of this song came out what good times in the 90s I was 16 in the fall of 1993 I rather relive the 90s and be young than live in 2024 and see how fucked up the world has become woke and PC
I have two boys, one with 19 and the other with 8, but i am really like the father of this song. Now i lost my son (he is not dead, he just hates me and don't talk with me anymore) so, i'm trying to be a best father to the other one. Please, love your sons a lot, because it hurts a lot.
…SONG OF THE DAY!!! UGLY KID JOE - CATS IN THE CRADLE (1992) Es momento que las nuevas generaciones conozcan que la versión original de esta MARAVILLOSA CANCIÓN es interpretada por Harry Chapin en 1974. La letra trata sobre un padre lleno de OCUPACIONES que no puede dedicar mucho tiempo a su pequeño hijo. El NIÑO de todas formas siente una GRAN ADMIRACIÓN por su PADRE y se repite a si mismo constantemente que cuando sea GRANDE será cómo él. Al pasar el tiempo, el niño crece y entra a la Universidad. Ahora es su padre es quien desea pasar más tiempo con él, pero, influenciado por las vivencias de niñez, el HIJO AHORA NO DESEA COMPARTIR TIEMPO CON SU PADRE. TRISTE 😢!!! PERO AL FINAL CUMPLIÓ LO PROMETIDO .🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿19/06/2022
LYRICS: My child arrived just the other day Came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away He was talkin' 'fore I knew it And as he grew, he said "I'm gonna be like you, Dad" "You know, I'm gonna be like you" And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon "When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when" "We'll get together then" "You know we'll have a good time then" Well, my son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on, let's play" "Could you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today" "I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay" And he walked away And he smiled and he said "You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah" "You know I'm gonna be like him" And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon "When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when" "We'll get together then" "You know we'll have a good time then" Well, he came from college just the other day So much like a man, I just had to say "I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while?" He shook his head, and he said with a smile "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys" "See you later. Can I have them, please?" And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon "When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when" "We'll get together then" "You know we'll have a good time then" I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day "I'd like to see you, if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time" "You see, my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu" "But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad, it's been sure nice talkin' to you" And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon "When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when" "We'll get together then" "You know we'll have a good time then" And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon "When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when" "We'll get together then" "You know we'll have a good time then" Writers: Harry F.

No... That's reckless and stupid... My friend died from driving too fast And I'm sure he thought he was"badass"... And then... Not so badass... The fact your buddy's dad is an adult and doesn't know any better... Yikes

Grumpy old men with their grumpy old thoughts, likely will never read this comment but the reason why you are so pissed about this version is the reason why the generation that allowed this to continue love it. In that leftover time in the world left after you cared, your favorite songs continue on. This is 20 years old at this point you ass. And if you are a young person, learn well from the masters that entertained again, before your ass was born, please sit down, shut up and watch. IF you learn something wonderful! if not just SHUT UP.
one of my very favorite songs growing up. my dad played all the time. definitely gives me a painfully blissful nostalgia moment

Fr
yea
This is the song that will always make me cry anytime I listen to it.
It's my son's and mine song
This is DEFINITELY better than the original.

It's mad how music comes so personal to us all..
This song really motivated my son to get repeatedly hit by cars while playing catch until he became immortal!

This The album I wanted but got Madonna immaculate collection
one of my favourite song when i was a kid
Muy buena canción!
I first heard this song on Music choice approximately at 2:36 a.m. tonight.
And the son did end up just like the dad at the end of the song
He sure did.
LYRICS:
My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew, he said
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad"
"You know, I'm gonna be like you"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"
Well, my son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on, let's play"
"Could you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today"
"I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay"
And he walked away
And he smiled and he said
"You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah"
"You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man, I just had to say
"I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys"
"See you later. Can I have them, please?"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time"
"You see, my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu"
"But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad, it's been sure nice talkin' to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home?", "Son, I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"

My buddies dad was driving 90 down a clogged freeway weaving in and out of traffic with this song playing pretty badass
No... That's reckless and stupid... My friend died from driving too fast And I'm sure he thought he was"badass"... And then... Not so badass... The fact your buddy's dad is an adult and doesn't know any better... Yikes

😀👍👍
this song is so much better than the Harry Chapin version
I be proud if my child or childs lived in 1/millionth of my shadow.
Neverming the 911 symology
My Stepdad When Full Psycho when he Heard this for the first Time, snapped My Ugly Kid Joe Tape
Why? Because they covered Harry Chapin? Or he just hated rock music? Lol
Harry Chapin was the one that
wrote this song
Yes. He did.
Pretty sure this album cover is talking about Joe Biden. They predicted the future.
12:33
Je connaissais la version de Johnny Cash. Je trouve celle-là plutôt pas mal.
"You're a terrible father!"
Great song for bus ball
@@chuzzahfromtongah yep I recommend it for when your training your son to be immortal
Least wanted 0:25
I wish they do better but time is out.
Absolutely wretched version of this song... They should be ashamed... They butchered it.!!
boohoo
Your crazy! They rocked it bud!!
You've lost your mind.
This is the best version by far
