As a side note. wiki has the lyrics as "Bishops and the gurus", and "Mick and Lady Faithful", instead of "Vishnus and the gurus" and "And be thankful little Mrs Graceful".
@movement26 Dude. They loved Her, and they wanted her to love them, that was what they were saying! Her Majesty would smile gracefully at the sentiment.
@currantcake no, I can assure you there was no racism intended, it was the same as Greyhound's " Black and White", same vibe, man - check that one out - another great 70s hit
MegaBampot, FinSituation....Can you not be proud of your race without being afraid of others? Racism is born of ignorance and fear and the hatred comes from cowardice ..... to hate because of colour or creed ? You just as well hate because of hair colour or eye colour or any other trait we are born with....makes no sense. Wonder if you even know anyone from other racial backgrounds....if you did you'd find there's little difference between us all....we all want to live and see our children happy
In my house I have a white extremist and an old hippy....he plays his swastika music and I play this :) Our false borders drawn on the planet and our fear of anything unfamiliar create so many problems.....we're all planetarians......we've only got one.....if we looked after each other what a beautiful world we'd have....the language may be un PC but the sentiment is valid :)
Ummmm ... I think you have the second verse wrong. Should be "Mick and Lady Faithful, Lord and Mrs. Graceful, you know the living could be tasteful ..."
The world is much better with different races, but there will always be some extremists but yeah its my problem if i would see everywhere mixed race, lol chinese eyes, black white skin, russian face, it would look disturbing
Absolutely beautiful song, I love the sentiment and I even love the words, I know they're not acceptable today but I don't really care, I find none of them offensive and there's a wonderful message behind it. Me and my three younger siblings are all half Japanese and half Danish, we couldn't look any more different and I love it, you can't pin a single race on any one of us and if the whole world was like that then there'd be no more racism and we'd all be better off for it :)
I don't like all the lyrics, but it reflects the time when it was written. I love the song, because it brings back memories of an interesting time in my life; I first remember hearing it on New Years Eve 1969-1970, when I was 14.
As for you, MegaBampot, put comments like that on one of your right-wing extremist websites, not here, you ignorant racist a-hole. You are Australian; you come from a country that was stolen from black people.
@shellyD1983 I find this lyric especially hurtful, in fact the whole song. It doesn't need pointing out that everyone is different. This song categorises people into colour of skin and religion which is prejudice.
"Take a pinch of white man Wrap him up in black skin..."
This is dumb. It is asserting that skin colour or other genetic variations goes deeper than flesh. As if there is a white soul in a black man or so on. It doesn't; it's just skin colour. There's no such thing as a white man apart from white skin.
Really interesting to read peoples comments. Those who are disturbed by the lyrics illustrate how pc concerns have completely clouded any appreciation of a really pure sentiment: Let's all get along, that's all they're saying. And ok, the language of '73 or '74 or whenever was less sensitive but that was then when we were less hung up on minutea. Bruce Lee said "Don't think. Feel. It is like a finger pointing the way to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenl
i remember when i first heard this song i was like 'you can't say chinkys in a song that's not right!' the older i have got the more the song makes more sense.
@stephenpaulbeckett well it was the 70s and there idea of rasism was different this song is great but if was realsesed 2day it would be takin the wrong way
@Dragonkeeper901 The terminology in those days left a bit to be desired, but they meant well." Turn out coffee-coloured people by the score" what a great concept!
@Dragonrdh I don't know - it was only a couple of years ago when I sat in on a seminar and I was told in all seriousness that Beethoven was black (because he may have had a north African ancestor somewhere in his ancestry). I guess they mean well too.
a few of you hung up about "race" , there really are no "races" , just learned cultural responses like class and caste and colour , as said below the DNA is all the same and the song is really about that if we remove the "colour " barrier then you have to face the stupid cultural/religion differences
we all stem from the same original DNA .I AM YOU,YOU ARE ME.WE ARE 1.just a different skin tone or language dosen't change the fact we are from the same worldwide DNA.1love,love all
Thanks to Steve Coogan for leading me to this song, via his genius creation Alan Partridge. i stoped listening after 'mix with yellow chinkys'...can't help laughing because you can't believe, in this day and age, that it ever was released AND got to #3 in the charts1
Communist Propaganda....ok so where should we put the melting pot I'm tired of this our women dance like their tribal Africans in the night clubs... who the hell wants to marry that I want white woman not no mapuka dancer in the end you get Tiger Woods if you mix em all up andIve been saying that before he messed up
@BabyuaZoilaaa889 You`re a 20 stone hod carrier guy from Bolton pretending to be a woman . Put some videos up on your page to prove youre a woman ! LOL
There is only one race, it is called the "human race" to which we all belong. Race is a social construct (as is nationalism), a concept that has been used for centuries to justify and rationalise the unequal treatment of groups of people by others all over the world.
mix it up for a 100 yrs? Well we're 60 years into it -total failure -even Trevor Philips concedes that - as intended tho by the INTER-NATIONALIST elite, everywhere destroying the nation state, dragging us kicking and screaming into a remote, Hitlerian super state & ofcourse multiracialism serves that end
successive UK govts have never acted in the interests of the majority and now they're being ordered to abolish themselves and leave us at the mercy of these austere foreign commutarians.
@isteve9 Hate to break it to you but these were the times where talent came before 'good looks'. Quite a good voice? A different world. just 2 years past desegregation in Dixy. The bold naiviteé of this ditty would be a joke these days, unless it was some dreadful Live Aid style shit with Justin Jonas ( joke) as a host. These were the pre-aibrushed days.
@theonlyantony We will have segregation again it is my Right to be in my own culture and not to be bothered! They stick a section 8 in every white neighborhood possible.... we will do away with this and then we will assert ourselves you can integrate if you want as for me I have had enough of it!!!!! I have the right to associate with who I please and I dont mean only in my house...
@american1476 I am so sorry that you live in a racially-tense land, wherever that might be.
The song is just a big old warm tomato of love. I don't know what a 'section 8' is or why you are responding to my comment on the singer's 'ugliness'. Your racial leanings are none of my business. i hope that you have a great spring and a fabulous summer.
@theonlyantony Thank you I hope you do as well Section 8 is when the government steals middle class people's money and pays for dependant class blacks to live in homes for free normally in the same neighborhoods that the taxdollars come out of it which eventually leads to robberies murder and rape in that neighborhood...
@american1476 How do you live? In fear or in hope? Me in live in hope. Most of our demons are demons. Life is better that we fear and better still if we hope.
@isteve9 what an incredibly shallow comment, like it matters and anyway who's to judge? you probably are too...ugly that is...well certainly where it matters...on the inside.
i allso remember this song from the pit street club in peckham lol summner rd estate ,allso the glengall jimmy war that was glengall rd off peckham hill street great song one of my favs
i allso remember this song from the pit street club in peckham lol summner rd estate ,allso the glengall jimmy war that was glengall rd off summner hill street great song one of my favs
I remember me singing this along in 1971 listening to the radio... not knowing anything from English...Thinking they were singing about a Milky Cup...Just milk, milk, milk !!!
Beuuuhhh from the cow next door.....Fantastic to hear this again ;-)
@DRWONE you are a fool the words they use are not being rascist they are just trying to say the world should get together and live in peace together no matter your race colour or creed
@billrink. You are naive. They used a racial slur in composing the words of this song, perhaps ignorantly or innocently. I don't dispute the peace and harmony message of the song, but the punchline of " Turn out coffee colored people by the score" seems to imply peace and harmony will be achieved when we're all the same color on the outside! lol
Madeline Bell did the UK 'Just Jiuce' ads too. I think. Love her voice.
Lyrics? Not so sure. Nice idea, but in 3000 odd years its never worked!, and the songs says we only need a 100 or more.Yeah right! Sadly, I reckon more likely it'll result in a blood-bath. To kick off, put the religions in as well, remember you'll say yours, not mine is hte true God, and we can argue now. I wish I was wrong. But a nice song.
Nice groupe, actually all musicains or backing vocalist who decided to meet regularly to records songs as a group..Put 5 songs in the UK top 40 charts between 1969 & 1971, with the fabulous Madeline Bell (see Dusty Springfield)
Im of black, native american, scottish irish, english and jewish decent and Im pretty handsome, but scareily im blond and blue eyed so Coffee coloured people, maybe not, but I love this song.
Might not be PC now (hence hardly ever played these days), but definitely well intentioned. Madeleine Bell has a great voice. There is a nice version involving Derek Griffiths elsewhere on YT. Thanks for posting!
That's good! I saw elsewhere on Youtube that the Irish boy band Boyzone sung it at one of their concerts too, and I would guess that would have been fairly recently.
That last comment sucks!...the clear difference is hitler wanted only WHITES...this songs about mankind will eventually f*cking learn that peace on earth will take time and a pinch of all of us!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Is this song basically calling for the eradication of white people? Its basically saying that everyone should be one colour and thats what Hitler said!!, thats not multicultural so the song essentially contradicts itself. But i supppose its meant in a harmless dumb hippie way..
I think you've over analised the lyric's here, take the words for what they are.........It's all about living & let live.........Easier said than done in our crazy world. Peace x
This should be the anthem of the World!!! I've come looking for it today b/cos an American friend on facebook almost exactly used the lyrics without realising (I think) that this song existed. Am about to post it to my Facebook profile. Anyone know if Blue Mink are still going in any form? Thanks :)
We might not have a coffe colored people by the score - yet - but we sure have an international melting pot in the form of people of all races, creeds and nationalities connecting through the development of the internet.
omg u ignorant fool, do you not no ur history.. we aleady do have a multi cultural race... n i'm proud to be a half caste australian... my mother is white n my father is a kanaka.. brought ova here on the slaves ships from the white man!!! u go study ur history then come n c me.. u idiot... fuk u make me mad!!!!!

To kick off, put the religions in as well, remember you'll say yours, not mine is hte true God, and we can argue now. I wish I was wrong. But a nice song.

@comfy1 You need to understand the difference between multicultural and multiracial. There's all the difference in the world.

Nice groupe, actually all musicains or backing vocalist who decided to meet regularly to records songs as a group..Put 5 songs in the UK top 40 charts between 1969 & 1971, with the fabulous Madeline Bell (see Dusty Springfield)

Might not be PC now (hence hardly ever played these days), but definitely well intentioned. Madeleine Bell has a great voice. There is a nice version involving Derek Griffiths elsewhere on YT. Thanks for posting!

That's good! I saw elsewhere on Youtube that the Irish boy band Boyzone sung it at one of their concerts too, and I would guess that would have been fairly recently.

Is this song basically calling for the eradication of white people? Its basically saying that everyone should be one colour and thats what Hitler said!!, thats not multicultural so the song essentially contradicts itself. But i supppose its meant in a harmless dumb hippie way..

I think you've over analised the lyric's here, take the words for what they are.........It's all about living & let live.........Easier said than done in our crazy world. Peace x
MissBroon1 2 years ago
yeah maybe. Just dont agree with the sentiment that everyone should be the same. How awful and one dimensional would that be...
augustusdes 2 years ago 2
I agree, ideally we'd all get to be who we are, regardless of colour,race,sexual orientation,religon, shape or size even and just embrace life.

I loved this group as a kid. I always admired Herbie Flowers as a bassist and Madeline Bell was a brilliant singer. A 1969 classic hit.

This should be the anthem of the World!!! I've come looking for it today b/cos an American friend on facebook almost exactly used the lyrics without realising (I think) that this song existed. Am about to post it to my Facebook profile. Anyone know if Blue Mink are still going in any form? Thanks :)

We might not have a coffe colored people by the score - yet - but we sure have an international melting pot in the form of people of all races, creeds and nationalities connecting through the development of the internet.
