Kasenatz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus - Quick Joey Small

[999carpet]

great original tune from 1968 ... remember it well .. when going to my first discos .. good memories.

[excommando1]

The name of the group, when this song came out on an album of bubble gum music, was the Kasenatz-Katz Flying K Circus and the 'cool' kids mocked it, but I loved it.

[WytZox1]

@excommando1 -- Hey! As bubblegum goes this was way better than Yummy Yummy Yummy ...

[psychedelicsam1]

@excommando1 they were also known as " super cirkus " for a time lol

[ectowle]

@badman2252

Well put.

[pinkydogbear]

I love this song, at least 20 years!

[jayrox40]

Cool tune from the late 60s! Top 30 Hit in the UK as well! Thumbs up if you think this song is better than todays rubbish bands and fake karaoke singers!!!!!!!!!

[pinkydogbear]

@jayrox40 I love this song!!!

[psykdiva]

Love this song--I wonder if it's available for karaoke anywhere?

[pinkydogbear]

My of my favorite songs...................

[RoyFive]

Pity that when someone mentions Run Joey Run everyone thinks of the David Geddes hit and not this song.

[Bowser1948]

@RoyFive no not EVERYONE

[RoyFive]

@Bowser1948 Thank goodness.

[tijs150]

awasomeness.

[pinkydogbear]

I love this song..........................­....

[pinkydogbear]

This was a good, happy song! The music from the 1960's - 1980's can not be beat! Do not even listen to the current groups. That happens when you are 59 years old. You like the familiar!!

[matt2jones2]

i heard this song on the radio once, almost 20 years ago, and i've kept remembering it on and off since. Great to hear it again properly- its just so damn catchy!

[pinkydogbear]

Good song!

[philaod]

This takes me back, thank you.

[MmeLEnfer]

I love this. Also love the Cramps cover (yeah, it exists)

[JustAGuyNamedSteve1]

I really got into bubble gum music then i got drafted! this was one of my favs

[BelleVue1969]

First heard this at Elizabethan Suite BelleVue,Manchester saturday night disco.Bought it,on Bell label I think,it's up in loft and I'm too lazy to get up there.

Excellent memories generated by this.5*

[pilp5371]

I cannot believe someone found a kksoc song. Ohio express-1910 fruitgum co., were the major names in this unheard of before music project. Does anyone have,

I"m in love with you?" I believe it was the follow up to quick joey small and I am not sure if it even made the top 40. Thanks for putting happy music on you tube because, bubblegum music was the music that could lift your spirits up if you were having a bad day. The lyrics were not

great,simple, but the melody--Yes!!!

[taxiboysdrummer]

the drumming is KILLER!

[Sandman24162163]

Great Northern Soul hit........

[sealevelattitude]

Great song to listen to smoking hash.

[thediamonddoggie]

this sounds better than my beat up 45!!

[pinkydogbear]

Good song, nothing like the original! The others stink!!

[Railrodder]

Still have the single! Great song! wish they were longer then

[pm0501]

When this song came out, we would mimic it by singing while pinching our noses. This stuff beats Hip Hop bigtime!

[pinkydogbear]

Neat song!

[XMIR10C]

VERY GOOD. KNK VS OHIO

[MrSExperience]

bubble punk rock lives

[pirrung123]

GREAT man i bought this 45 when it came out and i still love this song :o)

[doobeedoo58]

hankyhoyo, speedskiff, thediamonddoggie...45s RULE...nothing like the sound of staticy crackle at the beginning of the record!!!

[Diana5230]

i bought the single, too.  it has stood the test of time.

[banditnige]

This track is still so up to date! Bet you could still sell it

[LynnDLoo66]

This was one of the songs I danced to, many years ago when I was a go-go dancer. Still makes me want to shake a tail feather or two.

[americantear]

This is a great tune. I loved this song and I remember seeing the go-go dancers dancing to this tune. The dancers were so sexy.

[ginwo]

Danke für die Musik, die mich an meine Jugendzeit erinnert.

[4beatlefans]

A great post and appropriate vid to go with it - thankyou! Also thanks to all the people who have added sensible comments and information, without profanities! (This is what uTube should be about, surely?) Love and peace to all music lovers, worldwide.

[DJfox69]

They also produced RamJam "Black Betty" in the 70's

[thediamonddoggie]

thanks fer this post! I also have the 45!! verry cool!!

[speedskiff2]

I got this on 45 also. coolest song these guys did. thanks for the post

[hankyhoyo]

Bought this 45 when it was released. Still have it in the original sleeve. Sounds as good as it did back then!

[mausolos8]

We used to like this song in the neighborhood about 40 years ago. We used to say "bring some toughs", meaning to BE tough. The video has a different meaning. lol.

[slothiegachoo]

Those Israeli boys created the best music of all time!

Marty Thau even produced my old band The Real Kids...

I CRAVE BUBBLEGUM!

[lizgough]

love this song, unheard for eons where did the band come from

[barahona44]

Back in the 60's Buddah Records was the label for 'bubblegum' music, usually simple pop songs aimed at 10-12 year olds. Jerry Kasenatz and Jeff Katz were songwriter/producers for the label and this record was for the different Buddah Records bubblegum bands forming one bubblegum 'supergroup'(1910 Fruitgum Co., Ohio Express and a couple of others).

[lizgough]

Thanks for your reply!Believe it or not I am presently doing a bar room blues version of it.Love the words, Love from Australia, Kevin

[wrathofkath]

Good video for this song!

[hirmente]

[joto1957]

I was the road manager and Manager of the "Ohio Express" in the late 70s through the early 90s. THANKS for the Video!

[guadelupe]

It was also a big hit in Southern California which is where I'm from. Had the record and drove my folks crazy playing it over and over.

[annie482000]

Oh gawd, this takes me back to the late 60s. I was close to leaving school when this was released here in the UK!
