RE: the clapping: It could be a dual reference to some Bonnie and Clyde styled-shooting, but I think the main intent was to reference the similiar clap in the song "Deep In The Heart of Texas", Texas being the setting of this song...
One of the coolest drum Intros ever! A huge component of the Steve Miller Band's grooviness during this period is the incredible drum work of Gary Mallaber.
The claps only come up after they mention something about Texas. It's a famous part of the song "Deep in the Heart of Texas". Every Texan will clap if you sing "The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas!"
Man, I remember one day I went to the bank to cash in a check and as I was waiting I heard this song over the loudspeakers. Still laugh every time I think about it.
Jamal, I would love if you reacted to Steve Miller's Winter Time. It's from the same album as Jungle Love and appears on the compilation that this song is on. It's one of the smoothest, most hypnotizing songs I've ever heard. I think you'd dig it after your reaction to Fly Like an Eagle.
I was a teenager in the 70's and Steve Miller was ALWAYS on the radio. A great blues-y tune of Steve's - "The Stake". BTW- "Take The Money And Run" is a GREAT Woody Allen movie as well.
Another one of my very favorite Steve Miller Band songs. Gets right to the point, has major attitude, is funny, and is as action-packed of a ride as the Bonnie-And-Clyde story it tells. PLEASE do one of his early classics, "Space Cowboy" from 1968!! You will not regret it!! 😎👍🏻
I love early Steve Miller. Man I pray that Jamal goes down that rabbit hole. Nothing against this period of his music because this opened the door that put him in the HOF. And of course made him a lot of fan’s, fame and money.
After decades of hearing this song the clap parts still make me grin and clap along! 💚 Love me some Steve Miller. You should check out "Wild Mountain Honey". 💚💚
The clap was a reference to Deep In The Heart Of Texas. Both times Texas was mentioned. Steve Miller is from Texas. Love the channel, and your attitude!
The fast clap is in reference to Texas and the "Stars at Night, Are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas" tune.. was in Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure too when he went to Texas. LOL!
Where were Billy Joe and Bobby Sue headed to? my Hometown of El Paso Texas, this song reminds me of the Movie "The Getaway" with Steve McQueen that movie was filmed here in El Paso
Eduardo Torres, started 1st grade in El Paso and went to Coronado High School but graduated from Clint High School (what a shock going from 450 graduating seniors to 45). That was many, many years ago but love El Paso.
The first time I saw SMB in concert and he played this song. It seemed like the whole stadium did the clapping part together. Then we all cheered for each other.
Jamel, have ever listened to Lee Aaron from Canada? WOW! What a great voice. Started in the early 1980s never made it here big but huge in Canada. Check out Metal Queen, What did you do to my body, -jazz blues rock.

Rock'n Me and Abracadabra are two other good ones from Steve Miller Band.
Rock'n me is def my fave
@@BrianKapellusch the best
I'm sorry but Abracadabra was horrible.
@@timlevis3630 I still like it and you can't peer pressure me with negativity to not like it.
@@timlevis3630 whether it was horrible or not, it was indeed the best song from the album Abracadabra
Steve Miller - Living in the USA
(Somebody get me a cheeseburger!!!)
Classic brother in only 29 I love the songs
RE: the clapping: It could be a dual reference to some Bonnie and Clyde styled-shooting, but I think the main intent was to reference the similiar clap in the song "Deep In The Heart of Texas", Texas being the setting of this song...
exactly. It's Deep in the Heart of Texas each time Texas is referenced.
I think you're right about the clapping and Texas, Joe. If you notice the claps happen both times right after he says the word Texas in the song.
@@bobdonovan34 Oh wow. I’ve never put that together.
@@supasoulproductions Steve Miller grew up in Dallas, Texas.
I came here to say this. 😁
You can't do Steve Miller Band without doing Jet Airliner and Swingtown
and Rock n Me
I misheard “jet airliner” as “big ol’ Jed had a light on” lol
Swingtown has one of the coolest acoustic guitar solos. Not to complex, but just a total groove fest.
"Swingtown" reminds me of the sound you would get from mid-1970s Paul McCartney & Wings
This takes me back to many late nights at the pub with a guy playing this on guitar, and the whole crowd doing the "whoo hoo hoo" and the "ooh lawd!!"
This is my goto karaoke song! It’s short, there’s no real high notes to hit, and the crowd always joins in on the claps and the “Hoo Hoo Hoos”
Gotta remember this for karaoke. I can imagine how fun it would be!
Living In The USA and Mercury Blues are a must also!
I seem to remember partying hardy to a few times while listing to this group while I was stationed in southern Germany in the 70's
Now I’m in a good mood. Thanks for keeping great music alive.
Rumor has it Billie Joe and Bobby Sue are still running with the money
lolol
We sure are
Billie Joe got the money, left Bobbi Sue, took guitar lessons, and started a 90s Post-Punk band called Green Day. #TrueStory
They changed their names to Bill and Hilary
@@bobthebear1246 no billie joe gone to a club singing his troubles away. And had a knack for playing piano. So he made this hit song called piano man.
Jimmy Buffet time, great follow up from Steve Miller. A Pirate Looks At 40 or Son of a Sailor are a good place to start.
He Went to Paris!
All good choices including Jesse's below!
Fins?
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture
React to "The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)." It is a very similar song, in that it tells a story about police stuff.
He did that one already.
One of the coolest drum Intros ever! A huge component of the Steve Miller Band's grooviness during this period is the incredible drum work of Gary Mallaber.
Fun fact Steve Miller's godfather was Les Paul.🎶
Cool.
Really? I didn't know about that. Thanks for the information. Have a Wonderful and Blessed evening, Mama Bear. 🙏
@@funzjag You're welcome
The claps only come up after they mention something about Texas. It's a famous part of the song "Deep in the Heart of Texas". Every Texan will clap if you sing "The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas!"
I never thought about that before. Thanks 😊
You betcha lol
Only Miller could rhyme “facts is” and “Texas”. Lol.
I always thought that "Texas" was supposed to be a play off of "detective" & then "facts is" rhymed with "taxes" ?
@@crazyred725 actually you’re right. I meant to write taxes.
Steve Miller had a fun edge-y-ness to a lot of his songs.😊
Tapestry, an iconic album by Carol King is 50. Please check out, "It's Too Late". Then go where it takes you. 💖
You’ve got a friend, so far away, I feel the earth move..,
Ahhh yeah Carol King! Legend
One of those songs with a story - love this style!
Man, I remember one day I went to the bank to cash in a check and as I was waiting I heard this song over the loudspeakers. Still laugh every time I think about it.
Jamal, I would love if you reacted to Steve Miller's Winter Time. It's from the same album as Jungle Love and appears on the compilation that this song is on. It's one of the smoothest, most hypnotizing songs I've ever heard. I think you'd dig it after your reaction to Fly Like an Eagle.
Love, love, LOVE this song!!
Thanks for this, certainly dig Steve Miller! One I havent seen requested much is "True Fine Love" which is a sweet song for sure. Thanks again!
One of my faves
Fade into you.mazzy star
This sure brings me back to the summer of 1976. Nice year for pop music.
My favorite Steve Miller. Great song!
It doesn’t matter where I am when this song comes on, I always clap along!
A 6 minute flashback to keggers and college. Still some of best advice ever sung in song - take the money and run! Thanks Jamel
I can listen to Steve Miller all day!👍💯🔥
*How many people here have grown to love Jamel? Me and my husband sure have.* ❤️❤️❤️
I was a teenager in the 70's and Steve Miller was ALWAYS on the radio. A great blues-y tune of Steve's - "The Stake". BTW- "Take The Money And Run" is a GREAT Woody Allen movie as well.
one of my favorite songs and movies," goin down to Missisippi gonna see Miss Liza"
Space Cowboy, Your Saving Grace
Steve Miller was a fav when I was a kid in the 70’s, haha! Fun melodies, makes you move a bit, decent riffs, and fun to sing along to.
Another one of my very favorite Steve Miller Band songs. Gets right to the point, has major attitude, is funny, and is as action-packed of a ride as the Bonnie-And-Clyde story it tells. PLEASE do one of his early classics, "Space Cowboy" from 1968!! You will not regret it!! 😎👍🏻
My favorite Steve Miller song is "Your Saving Grace" - rarely heard on radio stations, but a classic!
I love early Steve Miller. Man I pray that Jamal goes down that rabbit hole. Nothing against this period of his music because this opened the door that put him in the HOF. And of course made him a lot of fan’s, fame and money.
I loved Steve Miller growing up...great rock n roll
Love the Abbey Road Beatles on your desk and the Jerry Garcia face on the wall.
Steve Miller so good ... another under-rated guitar slinger.
I am loving these Steve Miller Band reactions!! Thank you!!
Kinda proud of Steve Miller cause he is from my home town Milwaukee Wisconsin and he is smoking!🎹🎼
His songs are short & sweet, but they take you right to that story-tellin place and you're happy to go along for the ride.✌❤🎶
I’ve been with your channel for a while and I love that you are covering my favorite band!!!
Love the crazy rhythm guitar playing on this one.
If I'm robbed and shot in my own house I hope they write a song about them too. Stunning and brave of them.
More Steve Miller🥰and some Mothers Finest please.😉😊
Oh yes Mother’s finest!
After decades of hearing this song the clap parts still make me grin and clap along! 💚 Love me some Steve Miller. You should check out "Wild Mountain Honey". 💚💚
Drum part on this is funky as hell
I was in the 6th grade when this song came out. I bought the 45 with lawn mowing money and wore it out! Great memories!
Classic. Steve rhymes "Texas" with 'Facts is"
Been waiting for Steve Miller forever!! :) Thanks!
Woohoo! So excited! Thanks, Jamel.
REAL DRUMS, real guitars and real singers made the 70s GREAT!
I always loved how he grammatically hammers words to fit into lyrics!😂😂
Space Cowboy! And "Living in the USA" Early Steve Miller songs.
THE BEST! Never gets old!
The clap was a reference to Deep In The Heart Of Texas. Both times Texas was mentioned. Steve Miller is from Texas. Love the channel, and your attitude!
Oooooo, yeah super great song, Wow takes me back, the memories of the good ol days. Thanks J. Peace
Agree... ABRACADABRA awesome in the headphones!
One of my favorite songs!!! Remember?? I mentioned before that this was my friends wedding sing. Lol..
One of my few favorite sing along songs😁😁😁
This is my favourite Steve Miller track. I love the storytelling.
Nothing make you bob your head like this one.
The fast clap is in reference to Texas and the "Stars at Night, Are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas" tune.. was in Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure too when he went to Texas. LOL!
I never thought of the clapping as gun shots. I think you're right!!!
A song about the American Dream: Take the money and run!
This is a great song. The whole Greatest Hits album is great. One of my favorites.
Just like Supertramp, America, never a bad song. Great work Jamel 👏👏🦘🐨
Finally finally finally somebody did it! Love it
Great band you will love any thing u play of them
" Rockin me "for sure💯 you'll love it
Clapping is mandatory!
A little trivia... They clap after they mention the location... El Paso and Texas. Kind of a shout out to something that obviously inspired them.
My first concert Philly Spectrum 1977. I was 14...
We had tickets for Led Zep that summer @ JFK Stadium, but Robert Plant's young son passed...
Great. You do an awesome job. Gotta try some April Wine - 'i like to rock' 'sign of the gypsy queen' they have a good Rabbit Hole
Don't forget Jungle Love. Great tune. Thanx Jamel.
Thanks much for getting to this SMB classic...fun song!!! Glad you enjoyed, Mr. J...two opportunities to clap, lol, why both related to TX?? lol
👍😎🤙
I'll put in a request for "Mercury Blues", just another great Steve Miller song. Please.
I'm repeating rick w's suggestions - STEVE MILLER BAND: "Winter Time" "Wild Mountain Honey" "Dance, Dance, Dance"
Where were Billy Joe and Bobby Sue headed to? my Hometown of El Paso Texas, this song reminds me of the Movie "The Getaway" with Steve McQueen that movie was filmed here in El Paso
Eduardo Torres, started 1st grade in El Paso and went to Coronado High School but graduated from Clint High School (what a shock going from 450 graduating seniors to 45). That was many, many years ago but love El Paso.
I was hoping you'd do this one. One of my favorites!! 🎶🎵
the claping is for anything to do with Texas
His 1st hit was called Livin' in the USA, great song little heard anymore.
Take the 💰 🤑 and run....That brotha said clap clap clap 👏 🤣
Great video Jamel 🤜💥🤛
If you do Jet Airliner pls do the long version!
LOL...this band is so great. 😊✌️👍
Love this...only story I know when they get away.
Such a great drive song!
That was the very first CD I ever bought.... and I wore that sucker out!
You are awesome. Thank you!
How am I supposed to keep up with, you Jamel?? I'm being blow away and one song reminds me of another. 😁
Ya gotta give props to anyone who rhymes "facts is" with "taxes". Stilla kick ass osng after all these years.
Love. His song gimme some water
Clapping for any reference to Texas.
The first time I saw SMB in concert and he played this song. It seemed like the whole stadium did the clapping part together. Then we all cheered for each other.
Jamel, have ever listened to Lee Aaron from Canada? WOW! What a great voice. Started in the early 1980s never made it here big but huge in Canada. Check out Metal Queen, What did you do to my body, -jazz blues rock.
Always on the mark.
Thank-you brother.
Wow. This one took me back to being a kid, riding around with my brother in law in his white Trans Am. Good times.
Probably my favorite SMB song!
I love them rhyming texas and "facts is". Also justice and taxes. Makes me smile everytime
