Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Goodbye Stranger", "Logical Song", "Give A Little Bit" and "Take The Long Way Home". Two great vocalists in this group and often great saxophone.
Having known this song since childhood, and knowing the tune you mentioned (which is enjoyable in its own right), I somehow knew going in they'd think of that tune (and was not disappointed).
How Supertramp isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is beyond me........the songs they wrote and performed in those 5 albums are timeless and so different from most rock bands. A few more reactions from Supertramp would be a good choice, They will not disappoint you.
Yeah, “The Logical Song” is their biggest hit. The entire album, “Breakfast In America,” is a classic rock hit. A kipper is a small fish, eaten for breakfast in England.
6 years ago my brother-in-law told me that they had a band play at their corporate Christmas party in Canada. I asked him who and he was like, "some 70's band. Super something." I was like, supertramp? And he was like yeah that was it. Him and his wife were not impressed by this random band. So freaking jealous and angry at them for not appreciating it. I still bring it up every Christmas.
A kipper is a fat herring (caught in season) that has been split through the back, gutted, opened flat, salted or brined to reduce its water content and then cold smoked. This is a process that cures and dries the fish while imparting a smoky flavour, without exposing it to heat.
The Breakfast in America album is fantastic! You should do "Goodbye Stranger", "The Logical Song", and "Take The Long Way Home" from that album. All are great.
Love that you loved it...can I recommend "Logical Song" by Supertramp? Actually...any of their singles are superb. As you say, Brad...great transitions that do not throw you off a cliff.
I know this reaction was a year ago…but…. Supertramp can be classified better as a prog rock group more than just a rock group. They play with words, sounds, and structures to build a song. The reason this song feels familiar is the music is modeled after carnival music
I was very lucky that the local rock station in my small town always played the full version. And I'm 35 so I wasn't even born when the album came out, but grew up on "classic rock" thanks to my mom. I actually never knew there was a cut version until I was visiting a relative in another state and heard it on their local station. The full version is definitely the only true version to me.
I still have this CD, Breakfast. Outstanding album. The first time I ever heard them was Bloody Well Right, around 74-75ish. Another outstanding song and album. They have a later-Beatles flavor to their songs, much like ELO.
I always have the same feeling Lex had when this song ends. No, not yet. Wish it had 1 more transition and verse. I'm nearly certain that you both will love this unique band. More Supertramp please.
A kipper is the nastiest smoked fish you can imagine. We used to live in Scotland and when we came back my dad would fry them up for breakfast. They stunk so bad I would leave the house and go play down at the park until lunch.
You would have heard Cupid's Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes! They covered this, added the 'da da da da' and rapped over the beat. Supertramp's version slaps though
That's a gracious way of putting it. When Led Zeppelin "borrows" a guitar run from an unknown song and puts it as the intro to one of the best/most played songs in history, they are thieves. They also steal music from people of other races, so they approprate their culture!! Even Vanilla Ice gets called a thief for sampling Queen/Bowie. It's decades later and nobody is unfamiliar with this. Did you know U Cant Touch This samples Superfreak? Did you know Lupe Fiasco and Gym Class Heroes stole songs whole-cloth from white artists who had already made that song a hit? It wasnt a cover....it wasnt a sample...it was another example of hip hop culture "borrowing" whole songs from people without anybody crying about it (LIKE THEY STILL BRING UP VANILLA ICE). It's really weird how that double standard just keeps on truckin throughout the decades/eras.
@@Gekokujo76 really struggling to understand your point with this comment. Are you saying artists like Supertramp are covered and not credited? Also, most of the sampled songs you have mentioned were cleared by the original artists. Popular music is built on influence and borrowing ideas in varying degrees. Hip Hop artists in the 80s and 90s utilised great beats from 70s funk. Similarly, The Beach Boys borrowed guitar licks from Chuck Berry. You could even call this song an interpolation as it takes Supertramp’s idea and does something else with it. Whether you like it or not is beside the point.
@@Riccofamilyarchive Im saying that a generation of pillow biters and Mumble Rap fans talk about "The Beach Boys ripping off Chuck Berry" as if its a thing....but then say "its an interpolation if anything" when whole songs are ripped off in their era. Masters of racial theft in the 50s....blind to it today. Ask T Bone Walker if Chuck Berry ever borrowed anything from him (or Jimi Hendrix did). Then ask who T Bone Walker ripped off. Either it's OK FOR EVERYBODY or it's not FOR EVERYBODY.
@@Gekokujo76 The main issue wasn't Vanilla Ice using the hook. He was a total d-bag about his defense of doing it. If he had just said "yeah, I like Queen and Bowie, that bass line is awesome so I wanted to show some love" (like most artists do) we wouldn't still be talking about his horrible song. As with almost everything: intent and attitude mean a lot more than the act. /'Breakfast in America' and 'Cupid's Chokehold' are both absolute "turn the radio all the way up" banger tracks in their own way, it's ok to like both.
That whole album by the same name is pretty great. And that was a tuba holding down the bass and a clarinet 4 the higher interwoven lines. Piano for the Rhythm and a saxophone figures prominently in many of their songs.
Supertramp is an awesome band, that song was just a small sample of what they were capable of. Very unique sound that will be in your head all day after listening to them.
That was an interesting "the vocal was British" comment from Lex. I've certainly noticed a trend that British/UK singers generally sang in a way that hid their accents (I think that happens naturally actually) up until the late 70's (do you hear Freddy Mercury's accent in Queen or Robert Plant's in Led Zeppelin? Or even Elton John?). With the "second wave" of the British Invasion (as it was called) with punk and then New Wave, the singers were doing things to bring out their accents. Breakfast In America was released in 1979 just when this transition was occurring (Supertramp being neither punk or New Wave - more art/progressive rock). Of course, given the story of the song about visiting America, they were perhaps emphasizing the accent as part of the story. Oh, and I believe kippers are kippered (aka smoked) herring - definitely not something you'd find in Texas! Their "Logical Song" would be a logical(!) next choice - from the same album.
I friken love Supertramp. Brad and Lex, my shirt came in the mail today!. One of your shirts is walking around Vancouver Canada spreading the love. ❤🇨🇦
You guys heard the Gym Class Heroes song “Cupid’s Chokehold” which features Patrick Stump (lead singer of Fall Out Boy) which came out in like 2007. They interpolated the chorus and “ba da da da” melody. This is the original song
Supertramp's best songs: (Take the Long Way Home, and Goodbye Stranger!!) Love both of these super-duper HITS.... 😎😎😎 Thanks for your reactions and taking the time out to share these Excellent songs & memories 🎉🎉🎉...
The Logical Song Take The Long Way Home Gone Hollywood School Dreamer (from their live album, Paris) Give a Little Bit Cannonball Just a few to start you off. Supertramp is a fun little rabbit hole - exceptionally talented musicians, inventive arrangements, keyboard-based (rather than the more usual guitar-base of the time)...and always impeccably recorded/mastered.
He he he he, lol! A Kipper is "Smoked Herring", I grew up on them, living in Scotland when I was younger. Properly made one's taste fantastic! The bones are a pain in the ass tho, can't go wrong with Supertramp, I've got two of their albums and never skip a track. :~)
This is a great song and a fantastic band. I love them the clarinet and horns in this are a happy surprise. Thank you. I agree on The Logical Song, it is fantastic.
SO MANY GREAT SUPERTRAMP SONGS!!!! Funny to start with this one... I'd check out: School, Crime Of The Century, Rudy, SoapBox Opera, Dreamer, The Meaning, Give A Little Bit, Even In The Quietest Moments, Gone Hollywood, Take The Long Way Home, Just Another Nervous Wreck... and.. if you're ready for a brilliant, long piece of amazing music: FOOL'S OVERTURE. SO MUCH GREAT STUFF to hit... by such GREAT REACTORS!!!!! I''m here for it!! Cheers!
Hi B&L Yep Supertramp are a British group Roger Hodgson wrote, composed and sang most of their biggest hits, Some of which he wrote in the sixties before himself & Rick Davies formed Supertramp In 1969 Including Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, The Logical Song, It's Raining Again and Breakfast In America, Roger left the band in 1983 as was bored with the whole Rock Star lifestyle, He still tours himself very sucessfully still humble, down to earth whilst being quite spiritual. IMHO one of the great songwriters to have come from our little island of which the list is endless Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Led Zep, Queen, Stones etc All the best Jim, Surrey, England X
Great one guys. This was a great album of the same title released in 1979. This genre is considered as progressive rock. A couple more must listens from this album are "Take The Long Way Home" and "The Logical Song" two great songs. 🎄✌️☮️💕
"Fool's Overture" a personal favorite from one of my favorite albums, "Paris Live" The live album has much cleaner vocals over their earlier studio albums, but the instrumentation is just as spot on.
Every time I hear the words "we're checking out __(insert multi-million selling artist here)__ for the first time" I am always amazed. But I guess that's what makes these reactions great, first time listen. But still amazed...
It's been years since I listen to this song - flashback/time warp to my early teen years when this song came out and heard this alot back then but never been to any of their concerts
A kipper is a whole herring, a small, oily fish, that has been split in a butterfly fashion from tail to head along the dorsal ridge, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold-smoked over smouldering wood chips. In Britain, Ireland and some regions of North America, kippers are most commonly consumed for breakfast.
If everyone was listening, fool's overture, Waiting so long, Brother where you bound, Cannonball, Don't leave me now, Bloddy well right, Take the long way home. Just some more great songs by Supertramp.
Supertramp has so many great songs. Crime of the Century, School, Logical Song, Asylum, Rudy, Hide in Your Shell, Fool's Overture, Even in the Quietest Moments. You can't go wrong with any of them.
Some band covered this in the past 15 years. I think the frontman was named Travis. He was friends with Fall Out Boy. Katie Perry dated him and was in the video before she got famous. Travis was also on a Bruno Mars song.
Great Supertramp (she's the only one I got), reference joke at the end of your discussion. "School" by Supertramp is fantastic to listen to, so is "The Long Way Home", and "Bloody Well Right are also great songs by this group.
If you're going down this road, you gotta try "School", "Bloody Well Right" and "Logical Song" Saw them in the late 70s. A friend of a friend had a brother who worked for a promoter and managed to get us 3 free passes to a concert. Went basically because I had nothing else to do that night and ended up enjoying one of the best concerts I'd ever seen. Their live rendition of "School" wasn't the encore, but it was the highlight of the show. Just awesome.
Supertramp has always been so different. They could come out today with the same affect. Amazing band and nothing even close to them since. Listen to School vey loud.
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Goodbye Stranger", "Logical Song", "Give A Little Bit" and "Take The Long Way Home". Two great vocalists in this group and often great saxophone.
This!
Yep, these are my favorites from Supertramp. Breakfast In America is good, but has a more quirky sound, IMO.
Take The Long Way Home
School and Dreamer are awesome too.
..Good bye Stranger...great band
As a lyrics guy Brad would probably appreciate 'The Logical Song'.
Loved that song when I was 14! Listened to it over and over and over...
@@UnexpectedTurnOfEvents same here
Yeah
That is so true.
That's only logical.
You’re thinking of Cupid’s Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes - which lifted this first line and “ba da da dum” thing.
Yeah all I could remember was the song title and that the band was on that Pete Wentz label Fueled by Ramen
Having known this song since childhood, and knowing the tune you mentioned (which is enjoyable in its own right), I somehow knew going in they'd think of that tune (and was not disappointed).
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. That’s where I heard it from to from gym class hero nobody know that but some certain people.
Supertramp's The Logical Song is a must-hear for you guys. The lyrics are so timeless in that song I think you both would love it.

A "kipper" is a smoked herring, a popular breakfast food with butter in the UK in years gone by.
It's actually quite a good breakfast! 😋
As kids we would sing...la..la..la... America.... kipper's for tea in America.. everything's free in America....
kippered herring with grits is an awesome breakfast.
Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back for breakfast.
@@leighstreet8298 To the melody of America from West Side Story apparently.
You must listen: goodbye stranger, school, take thelong way home, great songs. Supertramp is a great group.
'The Logical Song', 'School' or 'Goodbye Stranger', would be great Supertramp songs to react to🤘
This is one of their more 'normal' songs. Normally their compositions were pretty epic. 'School' will blow their minds.
And thé piano on Bloodywell night omg!!!
Dang autocorrect...
The Logical Song! You should deffo react. It's got cool lyrics
Ton's of great songs - Crime of the century is another great album. Truly professional musicians!
PLEASE do Take The Long Way Home!! Supertramp never sounds the same. Always unique. So talented
I first heard that song around the age of 10. Always liked it. But the older I got the more I understood about it.
One of the most unique and musical bands from the 70's. So creative.

Masterpiece? They couldn't even write more than two verses for this 3 minute song and just had to repeat the first verse.
@@nealm6764it’s not supposed to be some lyrical piece. It’s about the songwriting, imagine trying to come up with melodies like this , shit ain’t easy
The Breakfast in America album is fantastic!
You should do "Goodbye Stranger", "The Logical Song", and "Take The Long Way Home" from that album. All are great.
Supertramp is such a great group. Goodbye Stranger, The Logical Song, Bloody Well Right, so many awesome tracks to check out.
A personal childhood favourite of mine. This is a treat to hear again and see your reaction. I'm typing this before I hear your reaction :)

The Logical Song is my favorite.
The Logical Song is the answer to Brad's eternal quest for songs that make sense.

Did it a week after this.

A kipper is a whole herring (fish), split, gutted and cold smoked, really lovely for breakfast. 😋
This was the first album I ever bought back when I was around 10 or 11 years old. So many great, well crafted, expertly produced songs.
