Manfred Mann - Mighty Quinn 1967

[baldnobberful]

1967....my Plymouth Fury was brand new and the Summer of Love was upon us. Still have the Fury and these songs still sound as great as the V-8 in the Mopar....

[buckeyecopperhead]

Six people aren't jumping for joy.

[JangoManiac56]

Trading Hits For Pieces? I believe that refers to trading hits of LSD for pieces of Psylicybin Mushrooms in Peoples Park in San Francisco during the summer of love. Dude.

[robbopaloobop]

"everybody's gonna want nodoze"

[chaelieyre]

heeeheee heee I love this song

[MPFINSTER2002]

Everybody's gonna want a dose

[jeflomz]

The Amazing Klaus Voorman on Bass

[rosebuddy47]

lovely talent back then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Katzarse]

'Eww, need a good scratch & hot bath after watching that!!!

[trucker1954]

Incredible watching the development and maturing of a group through this medium.

[lokey1058]

@HVYMETL This song was about LSD.

[RNH31214]

KLAUS VOORMANN!!!!

[jasonpatchett1]

What a world to live in. Can I?

[HVYMETL]

Who is Quinn the Eskimo? What was this song about?

[kctemps19]

@HVYMETL there's some movie where anthony quinn plays an eskimo that bob dylan is referring to here

[GonzoGuyy]

Bob Dylan wrote this song.

[wavygr]

Was this lip sync? There are microphones.

[rorkesdrift42]

@wavygr It's obviously lip sync and one of the most half-assed efforts I've ever seen. The lead singer must have been stoned out of his mind.

[undertakerrocksman]

changed to mighty finn :P

[flaxonx3]

1968

[Lizzardman666]

666 likes and 6 dislikes... i would have liked it but i don't want to distort the balance

[alimon72]

this just makes nostalgia run through my veins...funny thing is I was born in '72...so yes...I DO believe in reincarnation...

[smasherhits]

That's the very talented Mr. Klaus Voorman friend to the Beatles and the artist that designed the Beatles Revolver album cover playing the bass and singing harmonies..He was with Manfred Mann from 66-69

[Derby14]

@smasherhits Thank you very much. I was going to post a comment asking if that was Klaus Voorman in this video...and I see my question was answered 37 minutes before I asked it.  I think he also played bass on a lot of the songs on the "Ringo" album as well.

[peteq1972]

Wahoo

[laqueralesl]

Manfred Mann La mejor version que escuche de esta cancion

[TheGravygun]

Thumbs up if you've seen the DEAD do this one dosed..

[william101rocks]

6 people do not know real music

[damanfrom808]

awesome!!! yes the top of the MannBand, of the 60s. yet everything they did was great! just a great band.

[steeplepossum39]

Great song!

[AMP1fy3000]

My first love turned me onto this song.

[MrBigboy0121]

this is the best manfred mann song ever you were a genius manfred this group is fab

[pdorn777]

Love German television in the '60's...makes "modern" TV look downright neanderthal.

[7InchGrowerDick]

GET ON STEVIA AND GET IN COLOR

[normanby100]

The stoned-looking one with specs is actually bassist Tom Mcguiness.  Manfred was a jazz andblues purist who cynically accepted the necessity of recording cute pop songs

[shenron2142]

This song is about chuck noris

[dancingrizz]

Dig the Selmer!

[foneBro]

This was so much of a gas back in 67. Everyone thought it was a cool song, but it was not a dance song. I twas a sing a long.

[resumil]

a stoned Harry Potter, who'd have thought

[PaulXPZ]

@resumil looks more like his dad :))

[shaneh1983]

great song

[Phantomistery]

what's the name of the vocalist in this song?

[MrB17FlyingFortress]

But when Quinn the eskimo gets here everybodys gonna want a dose

[Kullg4r]

@MrB17FlyingFortress I can't wait for Quinn, I want my dose now!!!

[crimsonraven1]

dylan probably wrote this song in about 10 mins top tune

[gretchenblitz]

these guys were one of the great pop radio bands of the 60s. That's Klaus Voorman on bass.

[stevalianarbone]

Great song!

[qqvids]

people just love this song in my country

[JammerZice]

[SuperQuinn22]

my names quinn i grew up with this song xxx 

[alimon72]

@SuperQuinn22  wow...I want to know you.

[2braindamage]

so many great song from the 60's and this is one of them

[tjfats2]

Wow I haven't heard this song in ages

[littlesnowbear1]

People used to sing this to me at school! because of my surname.

[gingerfreak01]

@littlesnowbear1

I suppose Mann's not that common a name.

[MrAvvesomeFace]

now i know y my football coach keeps calling me an eskimo... my last name is quinn

[jmen4ever]

loved this song the first time I heard it, back in early 1968.

[ScoobidouBoondoggle]

my name is quinn i feel special now!

[sheyna1]

@ScoobidouBoondoggle My niece is named Quinn, she's awesome so you must be awesome too:-)

[ScoobidouBoondoggle]

@sheyna1 Oh i am. Beyond the most of righteous proportions

[CarbonFibreHeart]

These guys are totally baked. The guitar dude is cracking me up with that look he was doing. Oh well, thats besides the point, i love this song.

[polobalmes]

Cory Kennedy!

[nicosa01]

ach du lieber himmel das sind noch kindheitserinnerungen. wie die zeit vergeht

[KIZERVONZINGER]

They are all stone!!!!!

[lessanik]

Just amazing song

[GetOnTheFloor82]

I remember as an 8 year old,Ireland drew 1-1 with Holland in the 1990 World Cup. Niall Quinn scored the equaliser for us,and we got to the 2nd Round (where we beat Romania on penalties!!). I will never forget the street parties after the Holland match,and THIS SONG was played from one of the bars in honour of Niall Quinn!! Complete legend!! : D

[erwinruys]

@GetOnTheFloor82 I remember Ireland as a really really good side in the late 80's / early 90's. Always a shame that they had to play against my country (Holland) and England in the group stages. Underrated side at that moment.

[bjble]

its not my brain on drugs,but i done some drugs to this song<HA HA HA!

[SydBarrett681]

Such a cool band !!!

[tommieparch]

im wrong on one thing. it was bob dylan who was inspired by the anthony quinn movie, the rest is 100percent true....tommy

[sowutsurpoint]

this is my cup of meat

[sowutsurpoint]

love this song, best cover. this makes me feel so good. if i ever get arrested i will be singing this just for the fun of it!

[pdorn777]

I'm so glad Dylan didn't sing on this!!

[terryorr]

I can't believe this has such a low view count. This song was huge in Canada in the 60's. One of the greatest stoner songs of all time. Klaus Voorman is mulit-talented for sure, I heard he even taught some bass licks to Bill Wyman when Bill was in the Stones.

[bambagirlbeveridge]

@oldiesbutgoodies67

I was always mighty curious about who Jennifer Juniper could be myself!!

[lemurianchick]

@bambagirlbeveridge : It's Patty Boyd's sister!

[no1dane]

Great stuff

[oldiesbutgoodies67]

Oft' we wonder who "Quinn the Eskimo", "The Seventh Son", and the "Hurdy Gurdy Man" are...? Don't think to hard on that one...Dan O'Niallain

[Abaddon676]

4 people haven't seen the Mighty Quinn

[gringott12]

Learned the lyrics on the transistor radio in the kitchen on top of the fridge. Great mono tiny sound. Had to wait an hour to hear it again to learn the next bit. Kinda miss AM hit rotation.

[davedenn3322]

My teenage son ask me" dad who are those mop head singers"...I reply " son those singers inspired me with a purpose in life during the period". Yes those were the days when we got nothing much to do, no computer, few tV shows, shopping mall etc except to bring our radio down to the beach and listen to Mannfred mann, Small faces, Herman hermit, Rolling stones, Beatles, Lulu, Pet Clarke, Hollies, Love affairs and so on....I miss those lazy days and not the present rat days....

[JonnyLikesPie]

this just in *** there has never been an Eskimo named Quinn

[tommieparch]

@JonnyLikesPie yes their was an eskimo named quinn, it was the actor anthony quinn, he played an eskimo in a movie. that inspired these guys to write this song. as u said (this just in).....tommy

[MrCoal11]

So that's what Klaus Voorman looks like.

[skywatchertheone]

brilliant song 

[truesignabove]

Man, that sure looks like andy gibb on drums???

[beentheredunnthat]

lol... I always thought it was "everybodys gonna wanna dose" .... shows what I was thinking ... hehehe

[68blues]

A great era, worst thing is it seems like yesterday.

[beentheredunnthat]

@68blues omg, I totally agree ....  I was born in 65, but wish I was 18 by then !! (well .... no ... that would make me 63, so nvm !!

[joeygsmom]

I can get used to this. Where are singers like this today?

I feel robbed being a child of the 80s :-(

[uhclem]

@joeygsmom Being laughed at by stupid kids who think they invented music and the internets.

[joeygsmom]

@uhclem sad but true.

ps "dont blame me I didnt VOTE for HIM" lol

[morleydotes666]

I'm so happy!  YEA!!!

STONED AS FUCK!!!

[DavidDietzII]

@LDD86 lol!!!

[mduff001]

@LDD86 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY

[wouldntyoulike2know]

He. Is. So. Gorgeous. Mike D'Abo, that is. :)

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

Love these old music shows/programs!

Bravo, Bob Dylan (writer) & Manfred Mann (performer)!

[7466309change]

ya only here these here now.Was a decent song still is.

[fishdeschois]

Beat-Club was a really great pop show! This clip is classic!

[sharkkiller1]

i heard from someone who lived through this era that mighty quinn is a metaphore for cocane

[GoblinXXX]

@sharkkiller1 That makes about as much sense as anything. (Or a coke dealer.)

[SouthCoastMackem]

Dylan cover, and the great man himself was always enthusiastic about the Manfreds' covers of his songs. Obviously very different from the Dylan original, but an excellent track nonetheless.

[JayBBluejay]

Is Mike D'Abo the older brother of actress Olivia D'Abo (The Wonder Years)? I think so.

[sheyna1]

@JayBBluejay Mike D'Abo was in the original stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar and Olivia is his daughter, not his sister:-O I don't know about you but that sure makes me feel old,lol

[JayBBluejay]

@sheyna1 Sorry for the error. Thanks for the correction. I was born in 1968 but it was a few months after the record was released. I liked this song from the start, and the first time I heard (or saw) this song was when MTV showed this as part of their "Closet Classics" and before they were doing the Real World/Jersey Shore crap that they show now.

[sheyna1]

@JayBBluejay No worries, it's a totally honest mistake not really an error and besides, you were asking:-) I'm only a few years older than you but I remember Manfred Mann, the cast recording of JCSS and Deep Purple (he was also in that group) really well.It's hard for me to imagine that he has a daughter Olivia's age, maybe I just don't want to think about it..., tick, tick, tick,lol

[jgrisso07]

My friend and I have been playing this song a lot for Pat Quinn's re-election bid in Illinois. We couldn't resist!

[72DBRONCO]

Klaus Voorman is gorgeous and very talented!!!

[Harmonyww]

I still prefer Bob Dylan's original version, though I do wish the quality was as good as this on the original recording.

[scubawrestler]

In the old days of AM radio, it was frequently difficult to understand a lot of lyrics. The line "Everybody's gonna wanna doze" was misinterpreted by many suspicious adults as "Everybody's gonna want a dose", which is why in my fairly parochial home town, we were warned it was a drug themed song. How foolish many were. I still love the fun of this song.

[LinusandSally]

I was trying to listen to the Julie London version, but as much as I love her music, her's just doesn't measure up to this one. I grew up with it.

[BananaJSSI]

Two thumbs up! Love this tune.

[saltcitysuesey]

i heard bobby zimmerman wrote this one

[ajack2boys]

@saltcitysuesey Yup.

[andybarnes20]

stoner 

[ftsjr]

A silly little song with a great sound.The late 60's was one of many terrific era's in music.

[DorothyDoll3]

Favorite song. Next to the Hurdy Gurdy man and anything else by the Beatles. More please.

[QuinnySmalls]

First song my parents ever played for me. Man, I love having a song written about me. Haha.

[HermanHanauer]

Come on without ...come on within.....Yeah singing a song...

[snorklefoot]

0:33. Duuude. Stooooned.

[andybarnes20]

is the with long hair and glasses is he off his tits

[rradfrey]

far out!

[TheOtherrr]

these guys are High!

[sallie46]

@TheOtherrr have to agree! spaced and faced!

[Qweeqeh13]

Thats not Paul Jones (Doo wah diddy) it's Mike D' Abo! :)

[ultrakool]

i was a tyke of nine when my older cousin turned me on to this. the beatles? fhugetabougtit, ha, ha, ahaw (i was a relentless monkees fan, anyway) to young to know

[ourioni]

ah..The Quim !!!

[arkbluejay]

I have a cat named Quinn and he's pretty mighty, LOL!

[Sonnenlicht1001]

das waren noch zeiten........super song

[haleluja10]

it`s a nice viedeo

[phre33k]

Dylan loved this version,better than his own,quote by robbie robertson!

[robbiecalifornia1951]

That's Klaus Voormann playing the flute and bass. He's the guy who did the "Revolver" and "Anthology" covers for his close friends The Beatles and Bee Gees 1st. He also played in The Plastic Ono Band with John, Alan White and Eric Clapton. Talented artist to boot.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

@robbiecalifornia1951 I thought of them as british but the name Klaus threw me off. I'm to believe otherwise, like in dutch or perhaps german, anyway it's a great song about old man winter no doubt and just how fridgit he can get, as in mighty quinn!...all this nonsence about drugs is utter nonsence, yout fantasizing where The Doors left off.... this song has a name, think of me next time you visit Canada's far north. Thx4 postin'

[72DBRONCO]

@Ezdduf4kuZ Just Kaus is German. The rest are English. :-)

[72DBRONCO]

@robbiecalifornia1951 He's an amazing artist! I'm gonna see if I can find the books he made illustrations for. It's a book about the beattles.

[ajjules1]

@robbiecalifornia1951 thats unbelievable, but .........

[RocknRollnDC]

@robbiecalifornia1951 ...and Klaus played bass on Carly Simon's most-famous hit: You're So Vain ....enuf said!

[ajjules1]

@RocknRollnDC i want to listen to that song now

[ajjules1]

@robbiecalifornia1951 I think that is amazing.and this is a great song too  ever see backbeat early story of the beatles in Germany

[mjcamck]

@robbiecalifornia1951 - Hello. Really? Klaus, as you know, was a buddy from their Hamburg, Germany days. Now that I look closely, I recognize him from Astrid's photos. Thanks for the information. Peace to you.

[dablueman22]

thank God Dylan made this song, so that manfred could sing it.

[butters302]

i love this song cause quinn is my last name

[hraith]

yet another song that would have been forgotten had manfred mann not picked it up and breathed it a life of its own.

[bottingw]

Actually Bob Dylan wrote the song after seeing "The Savage Innocents" in which Anthony Quinn played an Eskimo. Some people find demons in every lyric.

[196475ify]

I always thought it as about a herion dealer, because when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna wanna doze.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

@pur33vil, you said it came into your head for no reason. Sounds bazaar enough but it's normal. It's bad enough a song rings in your head when you least expect it, but in all cases they have been songs I know or heard many times over. Actually I'm not quite sure if this is a song your're familiar with, if it's not new to you then you needn't be alarmed, as it happens to all of us, sometimes when you least expect it. An olympic size thankyou coming to you from Vancouver, luv the video!!

[pur33vil]

This song just came into my head for no reason, and i had to look it up on youtube. Thanks for uploading

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

It appears to be more of a fun song than a novelty like perhaps Little Arrows by Leapy Lee. Anyway I certainly get off on the dress code back in that era which continued on thru the eighties and that is the neat snug appearance of the cloths guys were wearing, in particular the pants. Like most of the bands, Manfred Mann appears to be no different, in that they look sharp! Nowadays the term would more likely be looking sexy, as in the playboy type. Gals in short skirts/dresses...sexy! thx

[Snowman374th]

Is this Bon Jovi when he was younger??

Looks like him for sure hair different but..

[MattHatter]

@Snowman374th: MUST YOU INSULT THE MAN LIKE THAT?! PA-LEEEEZE! Anyways, Manfred Mann is awesome and their version of this song absolutely rules! I wouldn't buy a Bon Jovi record or CD if you payed me! I SO WISH that band would hang it up!

[Snowman374th]

You shouldn't be a hater they have many great song's, And I play so I know how great they are.. You must not be able Or you would too.

Sorry you feel tht way Sir. You can hear me on my channel LOL Uploads.

[jackhincham]

So, what is this song about, exactly? Or who?

[CaptainRockNRoll]

It doesn't matter. It's probably not about anything in particular.

[dicarlo57]

its about a cocain dealer

[msmomo2u]

Exactly. Everbody wants a dose.

Loved this song. Had no idea as a younger version of me what they were talking about. Still love it though.

[rottro]

The Dead as well made this song great. This version is still the best.

[sentaikat]

klaus voorman on bass almost a mccartney replacement in the beatles!

[lorerax1]

i don't know how, but the God damn 60s allways brings me back.

COME ON WITH OUT, COME ON WITH IN.

[shivaboyd]

Very nostalgic, unknown memories come to mind.

[lemurianchick]

@shivaboyd : This is your brain on drugs...

[Calumet604]

great song

[plattflytt]

great song dylan is an amazing songwriter

[faeryquene]

Dylan is a GOD.

And Manfred Mann really made this song their own.

[lebleufleur]

run!

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

I love this classic song.

It is a favorite of mine.

Thank you.

George Vreeland Hill

[Clubelvis77]

me too, bro, me too
