  • Upon exiting Sly's 1974 Madison Square Garden concert, my friend Angela decided she was going to fall down the steps. Six million people were charging down the steps heading to the nearest fast food place (I Want To Take You Higher just played for 45 minutes in a pot smoke filled arena)

    How PISSED was I that I had to stop and pick her uncoordinated ass up - DIE BITCH is what I was thinking

  • I'm glad I'm a child of the 50's, songs like this were a part of my life ~ great message ~

  • @crapass and @mrredfredsaid, you can both shut up. Stop calling each other names, stop being idiots, the comments are for commenting on the video. And you're being hypocrytical when you call the other person offensive, or dumbass, etc. Please just be respectfull. In other news, I have to leatn this song for my school concert, and I'm loving it so far!

  • who's the lady with the big afro who appears briefly at 0:20 etc.?

  • that chick they show with the colored eyes is hot

  • that chick they show with the colored eyes is hot

  • my Gosh a little memory lane for me and yet how appropriate. I feel the need to report good words, We got to live together, and accept everyday people. Anyone for the jerk, calypso or a spin like that of James Brown (Do your thing, Soul Man!).

  • i ain't no better, and neither are you, we are the same whatever we do

  • I want this song and dance with the music for the next Rockband or GuitarHero!!!

  • weird pics, good song

  • This is one bad ass song that makes you wanna get up and dance in a big room and act crazy about life, and thank God were all alive and well enough to dance, and to live and let live, its all about chillin people, and no sweating the small stuff in life! Amen! Peace everyone, get up and kiss someone!

  • they played this on the world cup concert today in soutu africa :D

  • MY OWN BELIEFS ARE IN MY SONG, OHHHHH SUCH A WONDERFUL SONG!!!

  • . . . There is an emo who doesn't like the stoner, for hanging out with preps who, don't accept the loner. . .

  • Fuck you Gore haters

  • @wdamian Gore is another libtard piece of sh*t azzhole...by the way - great classic song..!!!

  • @CrapsAss Why? Because he is not a warmonger?

  • @TheAmbassador11 because he is a liar/hypocrite/whore monger...and that is putting it mildly.

  • @CrapsAss All I am saying is this: I did not like either Bush's polices but I did respect their positions as presidents. Sometimes it looks like anything they have done that was proven to be wrong goes without any negative comments. I know Gore is not perfect.

  • @CrapsAss - ummm well if all you can do is name call, then so is yo mama, bitch. Lol. Gotta come down to your moronic level, you stupid cunt.

  • @MrRedFredSaid - ummmm...ok - I do not recall asking for your opinion fruitcup. If I wanted any crap out of you I would scrape it off your crooked teeth....azzhat.

  • @CrapsAss - suck my ass you goofy cunt. Who cares what you recall or don't recall? Morons like you were created for the specific purpose of receiving abuse from your superiors....And I am defo superior to you, bitch. Now say thank you and then shut the fuck up.

  • @MrRedFredSaid ummm...ok asslicker - whatever you say cyber tuff guy...what got your panties in a bunch dillweed..?? Perhaps you need some quality spoon time with one of your boyfriends...just saying.

  • @CrapsAss - You have my permission to die. Please do so immediately.

  • @wdamian how could anyone hate the man that "invented the internet"

  • I'm going for a walk on the beach, I will think of all of you.

  • all i can say to this is YES!

  • nowadays nick toons looklike sly.

  • Is the line about Scooby Doo a reference to cartoon character Scooby Doo; the dog in the Archie cartoon; who later got his own show and brought in his son; Scrappy Doo? another family affair in the entertainment world; just thinking how nepotistic the industry is; I mean come on; Nick Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, but Cage changed his name from Coppola to Cage.

  • This guy was a fire breathing GENIUS!! So far ahead of his time we still haven't caught up. This was one of the first musical groups I got into at my musical coming of age and Sly and his group definately helped to shape the times. His message of equality for EVERYONE was a clarion call to many of us and we carried it over into the rest of our lives---too bad everyone didn't!!

  • 5 stars for including H.R. Puf-n-Stuf!!!

  • ah, this is great accept for the excessive al gore clip. the full hypocritical capitalist 'man'. But thats just my opinion. ;)

  • @raceyboy If you are going to bring up dirt found on Mr.Gore,make sure you bring it up on your heroes too.

  • @TheAmbassador11, I will.. Should I try Sly? That dude has plenty of dirt, but doesn't take away from the fact that he's brilliant. Can't say that about Al, really. Though I did like him at one point.

  • Save the Country, Peace

  • Al Gore has a lot to answer for about his scam

  • we are everyday people, can we all just get along. much love and happy new year!

  • @MsGloww And Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day to you

  • omg..omg..i still have the album!!!! awesome group .. lovein it!! thanx for the memories...happy new year

  • @ xmake.whatever, fuck off...and. SAVE THE POLAR BEARS

  • @joyceannpumpkin ..I got to say; a game in Green Bay last year, the temperature was the coldest in all of North America; so bring the polar bears to Green Bay; there's nothing there anyways and they could change the whole county into a wildlife sanctuary with a ride thru tram designed by the Disney people.

  • Shut the fuck up about the fucking polar bears.

  • save the vinyl's

  • AL GORE everyday people >!?!?!

    hes a freaking ELITIST

    hes expected to be the first billionaire thanks to promoted the global warming HOAX

    what a fraud.

    dont believe the hype.

    your govt LIES to you.

  • @ugotpimp Global warming is not a hype/or hoax. It's real, and it's not just him. Look at a satellite at greenland now. Most of it's ice covering is gone because of global warming. It happens and there is nothing we can do about it. Everyone knows it. Al Gore is not the govt. by the way dipshit.

  • @ugotpimp Gore is a douche. My line was the Al Gore is just another John Edwards but with a low sex drive.

  • i luv this song!!!!! i also luvvv their album that was totally rad, um i think it was there's a riot going on or something like that. <3 sly and the family stone!!

  • this isn't eighties music, you retards, its from 1968, like petercrisskissgod already said.

  • Comment removed

  • It aint hard to tell they are only kids lovin music! Calm down!

  • Dear imagewurks:

    Your an ass!

  • this song is pretty good. I am a fan of 80's and 90's music and this is awesome. got any more

  • i had heard this song somewhere and i liked it but i was born in the 90 so i wouldnt know it as well as the person that lived in the 80. but one day my music teacher let us listen to this and i liked it.

  • this song is from 1968 man.

  • Great song! was that H.R. Puff n Stuff?

  • Great song but the video sucks!!!!

  • The song is great, but this video sucks!

  • the person uploaded it because of the song mainly

  • love this song...takes me back to the golden years, peace and love everyone.

  • Talks of politics, and the division between Green being a political scare or whatever is happening is all well and good. And I do expect them to happen... just not while Sly and the Family Stone are doing their thing, y'know?

    Chill and relax, and listen to Summer. Find a video about Al Gore or a Green programming and take it there.

  • THe last comment meant for CoozyMcMillan

  • good song in the year

  • Great song, stupid repetitive video.

  • Cool song. It must have been powerful when it came out. Too bad some people still just don't get it...live and let live. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself. Boy that would really cut down on violence (physical and verbal) because so many people really, really love themselves particularly the sound of their own voice. (ha-ha) I can be guilty too. :)

  • hr puffnstuff?

  • This song was released on my 12th birthday and I listened to it for years but I just now noticed the cowbell, yes more cowbell!!!

  • Reminds me of the film 'Milk' - such a good movie!

  • Classic Soul at his best.

  • [ I'm Everyday People ] !!! i love this song because of smarties and also the movie definatilymaybe :) <3

  • I heard this last night in an ad for the show "Jon & Kate Plus 8"!

  • angela davis and hr puffnstuff in the same video....yeah i was there lol...everyday people for sure!!!

  • Great catch-phrase trademark song for the times. Ya gotta be in a coma not to jiggle around to this one. Thanks for the snap of Gore w/his mouth open. Won't slow global warming that way.

  • Well put on both, the song and Al Gore. I remember watching the Three Stooges once when Moe told Curley "everytime you open your mouth you drain the nation" lol. I think that applies to Al Gore as well.

  • You bet..............nyuk, nyuk and nyuk. Back

    then it was (zero) population growth. Well,

    now not only do we have a billion?more

    people, we are even getting larger in stature. Got both the "growths" covered.

  • Why soitenly Wu-Wu-Wu!

  • ...and another episode he said, "Every time you think you weaken the nation"

  • Wisdome of the ages my friend Wu Wu Wu

  • absolute wonderful, great track...it just feels so 70s and is all the better for it...congratulations. sorry for my language english

  • afro mania! awesome song just make you wanta snap your fingers and dance

  • Poppy little tune isn't it. Thanks Paul for another good share and too Manuelworker for posting.

    T

  • nly heard dem da ova day in history it a good song

    and so on and so on and scooby dooby doo bee

  • i dont get how al gore is a stupd fuck ?

  • because "human caused" global warming is a fraud. He's getting rich by making everyone else poorer (I mean everyone.).

  • I don't doubt there is such a thing as "global warming" but I do believe this is yet one more case where mankind gives itself to much credit. Of course there is glodal warming, if there wasn't we would still be in the ice age if there wasn't. There is also global freezing to, hence the ice age. I think all this "green" shit is a damned scam and the first clue is people are making money off of it. If Al Gore was so worried he would give those videos away instead of selling them for $20 at Walmart

  • your OBVIOUSLY fuckin wrong.

    there is a global warming & if you don't think there is you obviously have something wrong in your head.HOW THE HELL IS MANKIND GIVING ITSELF CREDIT FOR IT'S OWN SELF DESTRUCTION! your probably just some stupid kid who thinks he thinks he's right and he OBVIOUSLY isn't. if you think MAN is giving itself CREDIT for ruining our ecosystem & making some species EXCTINCT!! than yes we gave OURSELVES CREDIT FOR BEING IDIOTS & YES WE GAVE OURSELVES CREDIT FOR BEING DEATH.

  • Fist off I have been out of jr. high a while. Second I never said there was no global warming. Third was your first highlighted statement/question(?) contradicts your last. Many of these so called scientists have God and thats why I say mankind is giving itself to much credit. Many of them are writing books and selling shit. So many are either trying to make money or are working for those who are. What makes you so sure that global warming isn't a natural phenominon? Can you proove it isnt?

  • Well, I guess I have something wrong in my head, then. Settle down, whatever happens, some people will be right, and some will be wrong.

  • YOur obviously an annoying ignorant liberal who thinks there independant. If you actually pulled your head out of the fake government scares then maybe you wouldn't sound so stupid. If you did your research you would discover that there is nothing really worth being scared or so loud about. all of this Green work is very good and I think it is a great way to respect what God has given us.

  • Let's see: "YOur" is "you're"; "independant" is "independent". "If you actually pulled your head out of the fake government scares then maybe you wouldn't sound so stupid. If you did your research you would discover that there is nothing really worth being scared or so loud about." is grammatically assinine.

    If you did your research, you might pick up on a few things yourself. Like . . . ignorant people can't spell and find it hard express an idea logically?

  • yeah dont you know that to talk bad about the "opposite" of george bush is against the law these days

  • no kidding!!

  • hahah i was thinking the same thing

  • Comment removed

  • I'm horny.

  • What's Aishwarya doing there? :-)

  • Great Song,Real Heart,God Created ALL Races,so when someone hates a Race of people, HE'S Really Hating God.Love and Goodness and Truth come Through in this Song.Beautiful music from a Beautiful Band.

  • i love this song :P

  • official toyota commercials theme song

  • could people get over this whole politics and president thing!

    jeeeze!!!

    listen to this song and enjoy it!

    :D

  • Great song!!

  • Oh well! I just wanted to listen to Sly, and not get inot a race war. Maybe all of ya'll should listen to what he say's in this song. As to Obama, He is now known as Mr. President- Get the fuck over it. Like him, love him, or hate him, he is the president of the USA. President Obama should be extended all the respect that goes with the office-not what is or what is not his race.  Personally I believe he belongs to the human race. And I voted for McCain

  • no one should like obama cause he is black OR "bi-racial" in my opinion he is amazing i put my votes out to him and i like what he stands for and this song is about standing together it dont matter if you black or white

  • obama is neither black nor white he is bi-racial.. african dad, white american mom...get real..

  • Comment removed

  • Who cares if he's black? I think you're the racist for assuming obama is fucking shit hot just because he's black.

    "African americans" looking up to a role model? They only support him because he's black. I doubt you have a problem with that, but I'll bet you would have a hissyfit if you heard of a white person supporting McCain because he's white. You are a fucking hypocrate.

    You only think obama is great because he's black. YOU ARE A RACIST!

  • you really dont get it, but remember all hate is self hate... try and think about why you have the feelings you have.. and maybe u wont end up in a dark place

  • Funny how this breed of ape looks just like people, but the difference is that they have shit brown skin and they have puffy hair, and they've learned to mimic human speech patterns.

  • You know its funny you say that...see most people would comment back on you being gay and you know say things like :'go to hell' but see I'm not. I'm to mature for that...so I'm not gonna say anything derogatory or disrespectful to white or gay people (or you for that matter)...BUT i will say this ITS 2009 AND MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK!!!

  • I thought it was racist to identify someone's skin colour? So therefore, you referring to obama as black has made you a world class racist. Go suck obama's cock you liberal loser.

  • RACIST ALERT!! Quick! Somebody kill it!

    *grabs my slipper and squishes it*

    haha... just kidding... don't kill me.

    (but really, you're just joking when you say that right? rednecks are not appreciated in the 21 century)

  • See? that's the thing about today's over paranoid society. You make one joke and everyone's up your ass, freaking out like a bunch of bitches.

  • hey, your comment didn't seem like a joke. PLUS i was joking too....and i asked you if you were joking.

    Anyways.. no hard feelings right? i don't want a "youtube enemy"

  • i see where both of you are coming from...today people are very racist...id be lieing if i said i wasnt racist...but yah im glad obama is prez^_^

  • "freaking out like a bunch of bitches"

    Nice.  Racist AND sexist.

  • I was blasting this in my car today... and this dude is staring at me jamming to it... was hilarious

  • This song makes me so happy

  • Reminds me of my parents rolling around Oakland and Richmond back when I was a chavalito

  • Bets song ever created in man-kind and isten to the words!!!!!

  • Thanks manuel, great old song for a new day.

  • thanks for that great comment,,glad you enjoyed it..

  • it's in Definitely, Maybe soundtrouck

  • We got to get it together!! same message in the 70's? Love you John L <3 peace!

  • So True........! Wishing all a very happy 2009 we can make the changes that are needed..!

  • I'm proud I have been from this generation>>The best generation of music. This Song has always been one of the best and still is.

  • Righty Right On, Maties '09, The job ahead of Obama, Barak, is a tough "roe to hoe", said the garderer, but so far he is picking many good folk and youngun's to aid. O.F.D.Rocker, west Houston, and card carrying member of MdDS, balance disorder,eh?

  • Would've been the perfect campaign song for Obama.

  • Classic ground breaking music by Sly and the Family Stone.

    Written in 68 as a protest tune to all the racial hatred and tension that exsisted during that time.

    Still Applies.

    40 years later Barack Obama is elected president of the United States of America.

    Congratulations America. We've come a long way baby. There will be no going back!

    Sly's music lives on.

    Family Stone is still a beacon of light.

    Spreading this out to get the ignorant haters off the 1st page. Peace!

  • Wow A Gem Ta 4 share Laura

  • A TIMELESS SONG! THANK YOU SLY!

  • classic. i just wish more people could hear this song so we can quit this racism nonsense
