  • Awhhh oldies I can remember the 50s and 60s gosh I miss the 50s the most tho!!

  • i am bobbys girl but im a boy

  • When I was a little biddy girl, I ran around singing this one all the time : ))

    XX

  • is it wrong for a guy to like this song?

  • @tacomonster5 Not at all.

  • Comment removed

  • I was called Bobby in school. In sixth grade (1965) a girl sang this song to me. Embarrassed the crap out of me ... but it was so cool.

  • beautiful!

  • I love this song. Even though I'm just a teen, I love this song.

    Music today is crap. This is the classic music, which everyone accepted

  • @lilgeekable I agree, most music today is trash, but I'm sure 50 years ago when this came out (wow!), the parents and older generations thought this was crap compared to the 1920s stuff!

  • @UtahImplosion True, but I imagine that more than 50% of parents and older generation actually allowed their children to listen to this. This was "safe music" no parental guidance suggested on any disc. This was all played on the radio without avioding some songs because of their content

  • we all have a "bobby' in our hearts...

  • my mum always used to sing this... so many memories

  • Boy! have things changed since this song came out!!! Girls are so much more independent today!! But I did love it when I was a teenager back then!!!

  • Such good times! Women were so determined to be doormats they even sang about it.

  • Wish music was like this now! :@

  • i love this song!

  • Go 50s music! 

  • That was a good movie :)

  • my boyfriend (i think) his name is bobby :)

  • Now I'm Bobby's woman

  • Ooh. At 0.30 there's an Edsel. About the most dangerous car ever made in the USA. Killed more Americans than Vietnam. Possibly. There's one in the Science Museum in London, an exhibit of what can go disastrously wrong if you don't design something properly.

    Its one saving grace was that it was pig ugly, which reduced the number of deaths by people not buying it.

  • thank heavens for you tube where we can go to listen to this good music instead of the garbage they play on the radio today.. If the youger kids would take the time to listen to some good music where they can sit down and make out what the words and meaning of the songs are they may enjoy it

  • This is Bobby and I wish I'd married you instead

  • 8 people don't wanna bobby

  • I wanted to be Roberts girl. I heard this song cuz my mom loves it and for some reason i could relate to it.Even thou most of wat i listen to is pop i could relate to it. An now I am Robert 's girl. i love u baby.

  • I'm 13. I love this song. I wish I could have been arround for this kind of music but now it's all Pop. and honestly, that's not even HALF the music that this is.

  • I wish i was born in the 50s so i could live thru this era of real good music and enjoy being in the 50s and 60s, sadly i was born in the 90s :\

  • @SHEMEANzEVRyTHANG2ME You still get to enjoy the music, but back then we had no cell phones, no color TV, no PC, no MP3 (4?), no VCR/CD/DVD player/recorder, etc. I'm of the generation you'd like to be, and you're of the generation I'd like to be. Sigh.

  • @YY4Me133

    Haah trust me, you wouldnt wanna be growing up listening to todays music, you wouldnt wanna be growing up todays style, you wouldnt wanna be growing up watching todays horrible TV shows/Movies. Your lucky to have lived thru an era of was truly original and one that would probably never happen again.

  • @SHEMEANzEVRyTHANG2ME I guess the grass is always greener. In grammar school, we had air raid drills, hiding under our desks as "protection" in the event of a nuclear attack. Then I saw what nuclear bombs did to buildings/bodies, and realized hiding under a desk was pointless. In some areas, black people couldn't drink from "white's only" water fountains, and worse. Women didn't have many rights. Forget gay rights. There was no such thing. There's more than music/TV/movies. Enjoy both times.

  • @YY4Me133

    Well yeah I heard about those things.

    But, now-a-days, this time doesnt seem "real", like I feel like living in the 60s or before would've been a little better than living in todays system.

  • @SHEMEANzEVRyTHANG2ME Every time/place has its good/bad, depending upon one's perspective. I don't know why this time doesn't feel "real" to you, so I don't know how to respond to that. I will say this...kids know some things that most adults forget, such as clothes don't "make the man," creativity needs freedom to flourish, etc. Kids feel free to experiment with clothes and hair, ideas and beliefs, etc., but most adults give in to pressures to conform, then wonder why they're unfulfilled.

  • @YY4Me133 well when old women experiment with creative styles they just look and are considered nuts so maybe that's one of the bigger pressures to conform; it doesn't mean they're no longer creative they just don't want to be shuttled off to shadyrest. Girls just want to have fun no matter how old they are, they just have to suppress it a little when they get older. I'm more creative now than I've ever been but I have to be careful how I express it & to whom.

  • @greenpilgrim50 But, that's the point, isn't it? We're expected to conform to something we never agreed to. When we're kids, we're told we're all individuals. Like snowflakes, no two of us are the same. Yet, at the same time, we're told to conform, conform, conform. The pack mentality doesn't allow for individuality. It's threatened by it. But if we're not free to experiment, we'll never discover who we are. Also, innovation comes not from conformity, but from freedom to be different. Freedom!

  • ialways wonder WHOSE BOBBY? where is he, bobby darin ? maybe

  • "We want to be Smiths crisps, we want to be Smith's crisps....!

  • This was a smash hit, in its' day.

  • I like this song, but the feminist in me hears the lyrics and says "Woman! Get a life!"

  • Hummmm, you want to be whose girl?

  • I wish I grew up as a teen in the 60's!!! Unfortunately I was born in 1994 and have to grow up in a shitty world where all they "rap" about is girls, cars, and drugs. Fml.

  • @nielpizza12 Yeah i was born in 98 i know how you feel.

  • R.I.P. Wolf Man Jack..

  • Why can't girls be loyal like this anymore.

  • First time i heard this was a week ago in my Grandparents car...i thought it was a primitive version of jessies girl. I was born in 1995 but this is some gooood stuff

    Was she a Rastafarian? Hard to picture her in dreadlocks, downing sodas at the Kingston Korner Malt Shop! Rock on, Marcie! But why she did she want to be "Bobby's Squirrel"???

  • Forty years ago today we promised each other forever. That didn't happen but you remain in my heart Bobby and I am so grateful for the memories and your daughter that I have to remember you by. RIP Bobby you are missed

  • @debsusan53 Who is Bobby? I'm just playing this song on the piano and it's been bugging me.

  • @Kadeer03 I have no idea who the Bobby is in the song. I just love this song because Bobby was my first husband who passed away and it reminds me of the times we spent together :)

  • @debsusan53 I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Thanks for your help.

  • @debsusan53 Absolutely beautiful !.........I celebrated my 40th Wedding Aniversary 2nd Oct. 2011 with my High School Sweetheart like our music our love lasts for ever.

    Bobby was very fortunate to have a Loveing wife.

  • @77molson Thanks so much. No matter how much time goes on I will never forget that at one time in my life I was Bobby's girl

  • @77molson Thank you for you kind words. And yes life is too short, and we are not always promised forever with our loved ones, so live everyday like it could be your last and make sure that your loved ones know how much you love them :)

  • Great song

  • Bought this on 45 this summer at a record store on Hampton Beach, NH.

  • This is a great song, but yes, I agree sort of sad. But here's to all of Bobby's GIRLS!

  • There's a bit of a sad, unrequited thing to this song. Maybe it's just me, but taking it at face value isn't enough for this song!

  • I am Bobbie McGee and I had a dog name blue, as another song "me and Bobby McGee"

  • This was another hit in NYC back then. Played often by Murray The K,  WABC, and WMCA.

  • this makes me cry this song , today we had this walkign into my grandads funeral ,im 12 , i broke down and cried , my heart was hurting too much . my grnadad is called bob , thats why nan wanted this as a walkign in to song xx r.i.p grandad .

  • @SuperLolaa

    I cry when I hear this song too. It was popular in 1962 and 1963. I was only eight years old. The summer of 1963, when I was nine, I just listened to it over and over. Then, during this song, I recived the most crushing and sad news that broke my heart forever. My dear father was killed. I sort of associate him with this song -- because he liked it, and so did I. I hope you listen to it from time to time, and think of your grandfather. 47 years later, I still remember.

  • @rowleyda4 My two cousins Bobby and Joey died in a car crash while on a fishing trip. I think of them when I hear this song.

  • Love this song. Reminds me of my boyfriend Bobby when I was in my early 20's.

  • "when people ask of me 'what would you like to be?'

    I know what just to say there is only one thing I wish for

    I want to be Bobby's girl that is the most important thing to be

    If I was Bobby's girl what a faithful and thankful girl I would be.'

    HER ONLY ASPIRATION IN LIFE IS TO BE A CERTAIN BOY'S GIRLFRIEND AND IF HE WOULD BESTOW THIS 'INCREDIBLE HONOR' ON HER SHE WOULD BE SO THANKFUL? the lyrics just scream the subordination of women served as subliminal propoganda for young women.

  • @morninghasbroken22

    OH PLEASE Get off the Feminine High horse.... HAvent you ever been a teen age girl with a crush ( in love) Its all about the Puppy Love and wanting the boy... Gosh Politicize everything these days

  • morninghasbroken22, this song is only the first part of what she said. There's a followup where she sings about wanting to be the top neurosurgeon in America and travel with Doctors Without Borders saving people all over the world. God, get over it toots. It's just a song.

  • Wish music was still like this. Filled with happiness, innocence and a wonder of the world.

  • My dad would see me talking to a girl and ask if she was Bobbys girl

  • Listen with you R&R heart not your modern mind. You will SEE.

  • a robert checking in

  • This song reminds me of my youth, playing in my back yard, climbing trees, and watching Leave it to Beaver, I wanted to be Wally Cleavers boyfriend in the early sixties and Jim Morrisons boyfriend in the late sixties, Wow how times change, Oh Well, I'm not a kid anymore! and it has been a pretty sweet ride and I can still remember all the really great music we had like this great hit by Marcie Blaine..

  • i want tyo be daddy's girl...

  • My girlfriend told her Mom she wanted to Bobby's girl, with an unabashed frankness. Later we married. Some of the best times of my life before she passed away.

  • Excellent oldie by Marcie Blane! Did she do any others? Thanks and God Bless for posting!

  • I used to be Bobby's girl......

  • I recently found out I could have been Bobby's girl...if I'd not flaunted my intelligence! LOL!

  • my moms favorite song

  • Great oldie!

  • love this Film

  • There are no pictures from Happy days , that's all American graffitti. Ron howard and the girl that plays Shirley were on AG

  • Kocham te lata wówczas były piękne utwory,które coś ze soba niosły,lepiej się żyło i weselej przynajmniej mi,ale jak to sie zwykło mówić ,,to se nie wrati'' ech aż łezka się w oku kręci.

  • Lepe se nezilo. Ale pekne pisnicky to jsou.

  • Witam,oczywiście jeśli oboje mamy na myśli czasy komuny to lepiej sie nie żyło,ale ja myślę o tym jak żyliśmy my ludzie,nie było tej ,,chorej'' zazdrości że ktoś ma więcej,a teraz co się wyprawia bandytyzm w białych rękawiczkach,ja w polsce to widzę to tak kiedyś nas gnębili komuchy a dziś ,,czarnuchy'' w sutannach i to tyle.

  • I still say if a young Sally Field could sing she would probably have sounded like this.I always had a liking for this song though.

  • excellent....lol. !!!!!!!!!!!

  • luv it

  • this jam makes me happy 2 be named BOBBY......

  • thanks for posting , great pic and loved the song lots of memories

  • Why were there clips of Ron Howard & Happy Days on the video?

    lol. :/

  • It's not clips from Happy Days...It's fro American Graffiti

  • Wow! Thanks for posting. Now I understand. Funny to see Ron Howard as a kid. Heh.

  • @Indefatigable4 f ron howard

  • Because that was their era, also. It was all about that time when they were young as Baby Boomers

  • I kno THAT! I just wonder why you decided to random things up a bit.

  • Don't forget Bobby Socks,Bobby Pins, Bobby Kennedy, and wearing DICKIES.Wearing your belt buckle on the hip to show you were going steady and/or hip. And once a greaser always a greaser even at 60. Did I see a 56 Crown Vic in the pic at the Diner? That was my kind of car.Thanks for the memories.

  • boyfriend at the time was bobby you know I played it all the time still know all the words sometime we would break up

  • We had Bobby Darin, Bobby Vee, Bobby Rydell, and many others at the time.

  • AND BOBBY SANDS!

  • I think you mean Tommy Sands - I don't remember a Bobby Sands - and the 60's was my era!!!

  • LMAO! Bobby Sands was an I.R.A. Guy who starved himself to death in prison.

  • how clean and simple life seemed to be in '62, what happened to the world?

  • @johnlyons36 It became a mess, and I blame three things, the media (they have made America into a fear factory, 2, are lawyers. (they have corrupted the world with the famous phrase of "Let's Sue"), and 3, the government. Nothing matters, but money. That is a simple enough explanation, and it's terrible enough... God Bless the days of innocence....

  • love this song... i was definatly born in the wrong era...

  • I had to have this song in 1962...I was in love with her voice...now 60 and still love her...ps..mom wouldn't buy it, so grandma did! Most Precious Blood School, Queens NY
