Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep 1972

[Doggie1463]

Can see where ABBA got some insperation!

[TheNannylauren]

We learnt this in music class in 1991 - great catchy tune even if lyrics are slightly strange!! Brings back fab memories. Lovely to see the whole band really enjoying themselves on stage.

[garfield2279]

mmmmm Sally Carr,here she demonstates how to look sexy without looking like a prostitute,Miley Cirus etc etc please take note.

[twinstu50]

@garfield2279

Unfortunately, Miley Cirus, and so-on, have not the ability to take note.

'Nuff said.

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

@twinstu50 Haha funny but so true.

[herohusky]

This song i'm nine years old. I'm live in bangkok thailand.

lovely memories. thankyou!

[z5a9]

@ dbgeoff57 you seem to say that all the time, she now my first crush too. lol

[wassock55]

lovely memories

[dbgeoff57]

1971 #1 in the UK....June i think......Sally was a babe!

[22lagoa]

@dbgeoff57 Sure was! I think I had my first major crush on her. Great video . . . brings back great memories.

[silverexplosion]

far out!

[S0lidState]

this is really groovy.

[scooter88100]

how mad i was 5 and i wanna fuck the ass off it lol

[toy825]

Where did this song rank on the U.S. Billboard charts?

[QueenReigns1]

Sally Carr..2nd only to Agnetha in the gorgeous stakes.

[Fatgeologist]

Just checked this out after participating in a debate as to who were the worst group of all time, ever. I thought it was probably this lot, and it seems I was right!

[64fairlane305]

@Fatgeologist bullshit

[crapple009]

@Fatgeologist I've heard so much worse than this and this ain't even half bad. Cute gal and very catchy melody. It's supposed to be a fun little ditty. Nothing heavy. That 90's band, Four Non Blondes- now they really suck.

[shakeshaftthomas]

@Fatgeologist Even though there harmonies harmonic rhythms are out of this word. . . .

[twinstu50]

@Fatgeologist

Interesting.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, as long as we do not attempt to 'force' others to agree.

Though I don't agree with your statement, I'm interested in what other groups were part of the assessment. Not trying to be a smart arse, (life's too bloody short), I just think it's educational to see the 'world' from more than just my viewpoint, whatever the subject matter.

It makes life that much more interesting.

[box500london]

Lead singer, Sally Carr, good gorgeous Scottish girl x

[soundspur]

I have to say -in the day I shunned this band as I was seriously into other music!

To be fair they were a commercial hit song band but better than we see today -No drum machines etc that takes the soul out of the music!) However..40 years later I see them and there's another side that touches me & that is the happiness there was in those days, much more warmth between girls & boys -things were more naturally ocurring. Just love the style & the flares & Sally is stunning!

[purpelaar]

@soundspur

I think that the 70 's were just that, POSITIVE VIBES and all that.

Since then it all got downhill.

Btw, do these people still live or play music?

[recordman64]

First time hearing this version...I'm used to hearing the Mac and Katie Kissoon version that was big here in the States. The young lady singing this is GORGEOUS!!

[rudiherold84]

I wish more Americans would listen to these songs!!! European songs are awesome like these. I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes this.

[Phaedragon]

annoying song....



[3bar]

So this song really did exist.

[skaha77]

Beautiful face. voice good too

[nomiclas]

nice camel toe!

[stopcrap2]

@nomiclas DAMN PIG

[nomiclas]

@stopcrap2 at first i was going to reject your comment.mine was positive and yours was negative.i thought about it and i've decided to give you some input to help you.since you are on u-tube,you can look up Type O negative"Christian Girl".it may help you with your uptightness.you can thank me later.

[Pearly403]

Fat cow!

[anya933]

@Pearly403 Nasty thing to say. Have you got a super-model's figure, hmmm? Judge not, lest ye be judged.

[box500london]

Sally Carr, gorgeous Scottish girl !!

[box500london]

Beautiful woman and beautiful song !!

[wowfood]

... Does her voice remind anyone else of Foamy?

[tjmacjee]

@wowfood No

[TheEchovoices]

omg such a nothing song, but it was so catchy back then she looks like a blonde Karen Carpenter.

[BlankfrackCripledFUK]

Hey Sally Carr... the Camel said he wants his toe back.

[B52sguy]

You could not go anywhere in Europe in 1971 whithout hearing this song in bars, radio, kr TV. One of the best of the best!

[EchucaDigger]

Where do I get a purple suit like that from?? Nice clip.

[Meadoway40]

@Ranjeeb  I can understand that.

[Nuron666]

This song is a classic. I rate it in the same category as many of the beatles songs.

[440trigger]

LOVE HER

[Kirraa485]

great great big song

[EricandDish]

Sally Carr is wearing a jumpsuit with flare bottoms! Just like what Agnetha Faltskog would wear for ABBA a couple of years later.

[scotsmaninusa]

@EricandDish except Agnetha wore knee length and it wasn't a jumpsuit.it was jacket and trousers.anyway Cher beat both of em

[EricandDish]

Sally Carr is wearing a jumpsuit with flare bottoms! Just what what Agnetha Faltskog would wear for ABBA a couple of years later.

[exgroupiefromelmont1]

is it me or does this gal look like the blonde in abba?? did they loan her out?? my mom owned bell bottoms like these!! people dressed alot nicer in the 60's and 70's.. today everything is b-o-r-i-n-g!!!!!!!!!..

[Jhensy2012]

Worst song ever, but Lush did a version of this that's the best song ever, I swear to God.

[obinne2010]

@Retardis your comments makes me to burst out laughing. so funny. Is that your voice is something else.

[halvaman3]

great song! Its 1971 and filmed in front of a studio audience in Germany? They are easily old enough to have served in the SS and lined the ranks at Nurembourg and here they are rockin out to chirpy chirpy cheep cheep. That kind of thing tickles me!

[debsi1979]

mom:were u going hun

me:to kill 7 people

mom:who with

me:215 people

mom:ok hun of you go then

[debsi1979]

loves this song

[ellandrd1306]

sally carr=gods gift

[SarahRachel59]

Im glad this song never made it to the US.

[TheOldGunslinger]

She isn't singing and nobody is playing their instraments. I thought only rappers and Briteny Speers did this.

[mlthomas33]

Retardis! You F*ckin' crack me up! You're humor is as warped as mine! Luv ya!

[glottis5]

my dad is an orphan named don... mind status = blown

[MaceMn]

Just thank your Gods that WMG doesn't own the rights to this song!

[dianneclarkson]

this song was the best,I was 6 at the time,classic,lol.

[shalouinman]

this is my fav song eva !! luv it!



[shuchr]

sally and chic lost a son in a motor bike accident in paisley scotland

[dharmashooter]

It's dumbass songs like this are responsible for the middle aged retards all around you today with the mental age of a fucking 5 year old.

[twinstu50]

@dharmashooter

Absolutely right!.

The best part of being a middle aged retard with the mental age of a 5 year old is that, every day, the sky is a different colour.

As Maxwell used to say, "And loving it"!.

[dharmashooter]

@twinstu50 That's quite enough! Now go sit on your potty and put your thumb back in your mouth.

[TheFallToRise]

@dharmashooter lol yea and we delivered to this earth even retarder retards who are now adoring Lady Gaga lmao

[tommey123]

Cracks right up laughing at retardis

[georgerugby11]

Wheres your mummy gone- round John Terrys house lol joking i like john terry

[ClubPminimovies]

@georgerugby11 haha lol ;P i dont like John Terry he looks well older tht he actually is.

[tommey123]

Now that is a real crack up Retardis .....lol

[jonemz]

wish we caould roll back time to the 70s, fab music

[twinstu50]

A damn fine example of so called 'Bubble-Gum' music of that time.

Easy, fun, and fine to dance to.

The chics liked it too, so it was many times a 'key to the door'.

.....

[ClubPminimovies]

@twinstu50 Hey what are u trying to suggest lol :) i like this song not as good as Johnny Cash he was a legend its also not as good as n-dubz, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry or Kesha !!! lol :):):):):)

[craiglouden]

what a party tune!!

[rouxnikki]

I was 18 months when my mother left, I was 18 when my sister told me about this song, I am now 42 and finally laugh about this song, Shame the evil witch of a mother is still alive,LMAO

[WalshieBruv]

I hope this is played anytime Frank Lampard scores during the World Cup...

[scrumper10]

@WalshieBruv  Hahahaha love it

[martianboy99]

Strange listening to this now. I remember hearing this in '71. I just handed in my postal vote at my old school that i was in way back in '71.

[rrrripbing]

Not one of their best songs but still love them anyway.

[ebf1957]

Would make a great animated music video.

[brianthesailor]

I remember the song but I never knew what that girl looked like.  Cutie!

[SorinOlariu]

I got to download all these oldies but goldies someday...

[jadiegirl1231]

When my dad was a kid he

went to the children homes

for orphanage kids and

sang it to them xD

He got kicked out

[endicott3]

This is the best song of what was called Bubble-gum music

[60srocker46]

@endicott3 yes i agree , this song and also the archies sugar sugar

[blinko656]

This song is very prophetic.

[MrStablelad]

Sally Carr was very under rated.

[BlankfrackCripledFUK]

@MrStablelad at what,sucking cock with her gap toothed mouth?

[brummiemel]

pmpl i remember me and my m8s singing and dacing 2 this song up in my bedroom at my mum and dads house.. loved it x

[cowgirlgaily1]

[54crockett]

your momma did plant the bomb but the silly cunt blew her head off digging it up again .wheres ya mommas head gone wheres her head gone eww lmao

[warlock1959]

Written by Harold Stott ( aka. Lally Stott ) in 1970 which he did not have a hit with this song but had the Middle of the Road in 1971 also later that year was release by Mac & Katie Kisson in 1971. The Middle of the road made it famous in europe but many of us know this song by Mac & Katie Kisson but it was not a hit for them as much as the Middle of the Road did with there version.

[eddieafcb]

This was released in 71 not 72.

[warlock1959]

To bad that this was copied from Matt and Katie Kisson.

[TheFactoryOfLight]

Hmmm... the interest thing is PJ Harvey would later use some parts of this song and incorporated them into a lo-fi tune.

[DasBlood]

What the crap?? Is that voice for real?

[lake40]

interesting those germans would clap to any song

[Retardis]

I sang this song at an orphanage, they asked me to leave.

[seweryncedrik]

Blimey, Sally Carr is stunning!!!!!!!!

[Natalie19921]

[GremiumWHV]

[agnostyx1]

Superrrrr!!!!

[hatedarich]

jesus..what a choice piece of arse..mm mmm

i first heard this track when i was 5...totally rad

[russallert]

This is from the German TV show Starparade. The James Last Band, who were regularly featured on the show, can be seen in the background.

[chicochicocharlie]

Schöne Musik, schönes Video !

"perelly" - da hast Du recht, die Band kommt ja fast aus dem Takt deswegen.

[Ncharlestun]

I bet that girl was glad when she didn't have to fake singing this dumb song anymore. Nice bod and outfit though back then.

[pappy15445]

oh what a memory

[Perelly]

Deutsche können einfach nicht im richtigen Rhythmus klatschen. Der Song ist ein klassisches Beispiel. Das Publikum klatscht auf 1 und 3, der Gitarrist machts vor bei 2 und 4. Und sie kriegen es trotzdem nicht hin.

[russallert]

I thought only the English audiences had that problem!

[HeartRover57]

klasse...

diesen auftritt kannte ich bisher noch nicht.

danke für´s posten :-)
