I’ve had this record since it was released in the summer of ‘69, and I’ve always thought it should have become a hit; most probably it was banned because of drug overtones. The version here is extended about 30 seconds over the actual Columbia 45 single.
Well done again to youtube. I have been trying to track down this song for a very long time. Last heard it played in 1970 at the local youth club. This followed with me singing it for years in the shower. Takes me back! Great times and great music!!
Yeah, UA-cam constantly does turn up cool and amazing and entertaining stuff. Who could have known that there were other versions of "Funky Fanfare"? Especially this one, with lyrics.
LYRICS: Me and buddy took a ride uptown Just puttin' in time Take a look around We're gonna make it We got a beat up Ford And a heap of time Got nothin' to lose Got a place in mind Gotta make it We was lookin' for a place Called The House of Jack We gotta make it there We ain't comin' back We gotta place it back When you lead it so Gonna lose your mind When the good times roll We're gonna make it You could see her face And a heavy sound Hear the music cry See her spinnin' round Gotta make it Gotta girl in mind Gotta make it fast Gotta make it good Gotta make it last Gotta make it They got what you want At The House of Jack We gotta make it there We ain't comin' back We gotta place it back When you leave your soul Gonna lose your mind When the good times roll We gonna make it Let the good times roll! Alright! Baby, House of Jack! Yeah! Everything's groovy At The House of Jack, baby! Alright! At The House of Jack, babe! Alright!

Saw this guy live last night at my local pub, sounded better than he ever did here.. Quite a nice bloke too, and funny 👍👍
I met him a few times back in 69 - heck of a nice chap

LYRICS:
Me and buddy took a ride uptown
Just puttin' in time
Take a look around
We're gonna make it
We got a beat up Ford
And a heap of time
Got nothin' to lose
Got a place in mind
Gotta make it
We was lookin' for a place
Called The House of Jack
We gotta make it there
We ain't comin' back
We gotta place it back
When you lead it so
Gonna lose your mind
When the good times roll
We're gonna make it
You could see her face
And a heavy sound
Hear the music cry
See her spinnin' round
Gotta make it
Gotta girl in mind
Gotta make it fast
Gotta make it good
Gotta make it last
Gotta make it
They got what you want
At The House of Jack
We gotta make it there
We ain't comin' back
We gotta place it back
When you leave your soul
Gonna lose your mind
When the good times roll
We gonna make it
Let the good times roll!
Alright!
Baby, House of Jack!
Yeah!
Everything's groovy
At The House of Jack, baby!
Alright!
At The House of Jack, babe!
Alright!
Just walk on down
Let your mind go free
Have a good time baby
With me, alright!
Let your hair hang down, baby
House of Jack
Alright!
Let your mind go free!
Free with me!
Everything's a groove
At the House of Jack, babe!
Alright!
Lord!
You make me feel so good
At The House of Jack babe!
Well just leave your girl
When you find the door
Take your feet on down
What your living for
Gonna make it!
Hey! Alright!
Well there's suicide
Let your mind go free
Leave the world behind
Come with me
We're gonna make it
Yes indeed
Walk in the door
Let your mind go free
Alright!
Everything's alright
Ya got
BPTV baybeeeee
I was there when you recorded this and Call my name.Now in OZ.
Very David Clayton-Thomas-esque, if that's a thing. Could be a lost Blood, Sweat & Tears outtake.
Cheapshow. Amazing song.
James Royal And The Royal Set are playing a one off gig next year. Takes place at The 100 Club, London Saturday 20th June 2015
Sucks that this ain’t on iTunes
Someone should sing this on America Idol, or Glee
would love to hear tom jones do this
Ce son déchire !
holly shh...
UA-cam once again serves up some hidden awesomesauce.
Yes!!
Wow words to this song.
Could anyone write down the lyrics please?
♥
Gary Glitter sang a vocal of the KM classic too 'bout the same time.
Holy! So the other version is a Remix?
Mind if i use this?
Sklarbro Country
Not bad, but this is essentially an instrumental job, but i prefure pure keith mansfield who done such a great job you can't really improve upon it,
NO VOCAL !
Guy was repeating a bit too much gonna make it and house an jack.Was a good cover stil...
The original instrumental by Keith Mansfield is actually much kooler.
Hate to say it...
background theme is cool
Great music, great voice, but shitty lyrics...
Most lyrics are stupid nonsense when you think about them. Just look at Stairway to Heaven.
They're OK - I don't think they are literary genius but they sort of sound right!
