Manfred Mann - Ha Ha Said The Clown

[wmw2525]

Song is good, but singer's stage movements look a bit poncey ... Just sing it straight, man ! ... Wayne

And then came MANFRED MANN'S EARTBAND, thanks whoever made it.

Manfred Mann is one of the best playing Analouge Synthethisers, if not the best.

The best.

[nightravenonline]

@puddelisa yes they was so good.. another one Semi detached suburban mr james. is my favourite

Manfred man had their finger on the pulse of pop music in the 1960s. They were an obvious hit band with a talented song writers. They only broke up when the music scene at that time progressed onto other things.A

i really love the woodwind/organ combo produced in this era. reminds me of the opening to Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings - quiet, sweet music of my youth

[eddiebear100]

I think Manfred Mann were one of the best bands of the 1960's.

[JustBobby00]

[MrLawman10]

whats the matter with laughin boy on the drums, Mike D, Abo was the perfect replacement for Paul Jones, great frontman.

Amongst my comrades, I am the "go to" guy when it is imperative to receive the sage's advice in determining that which is groovy and that which is not groovy. But, after getting hip to this particular Manfred Mann tune, I believe that it's only fair to say that I truly never knew what grooviness was before.

[rockerbox1973]

@dimmiewitson wtf?

[dimmiewitson]

@rockerbox1973 rqm!

[gdr72]

un mito!

[theothertoddg]

Why does their drummer always look so pissed?

[psychodamned]

@theothertoddg Must be related to my bassist he's a miserable cunt too ...lol :P

[angrysamoan666]

If the dickhead is singing in front of your band, also it makes the musicians look like the dickhead

Here the evidence is very strong LOL

[Bigpheet]

@angrysamoan666 I thought you knew. The bands and singers in the 60s-70s etc didn't need to cover themselves with belly-studs n tattoos to make-it!

[ysplse]

Manfred Mann one of the best bands in both their incarnations.

One of my fave bands and this one of my fave songs

Thanx

[angrysamoan666]

@ysplse Really and truly?

[angrysamoan666]

Yes this is very shit and the singer also is shit LOL

[lovelyflares]

[shrivel1]

@angrysamoan666 You too.....

[angrysamoan666]

@shrivel1 So you agree he also is shit LOL

For me this agreement is a great victory

[shrivel1]

@angrysamoan666 Blimey, it doesn't take much to make you happy does it? But I didn't agree with you, I mean't that if YOU think that they are full of shit, then YOU are too.....

[angrysamoan666]

@shrivel1 Wow, then you like me are such a simple person also

Do you hate everyone who contradicts your opinion?

Such an attitude will drive you not so far I believe

But GOOD LUCK with controlling your world LOL

[SuperNevile]

There seems to be a number of videos of Manfred Mann playing this song. They are singing this in front of of the 'AS IS' album cover. I have another video of this song on VHS tape where they are dressed as clown/puppets and it isn't on Youtube. Think it was from German TV. Don't know how to digitise and upload it tho'

[wouldntyoulike2know]

@SuperNevile Aw, I wish you could. I would love to see it. I just adore Mike D'Abo and him dressed as a clown would be soo cute. :)

[dinkeldal]

een nummer van toen .. de buurt bestond uit heggen en mussen

duiven en stront

meisjes en springtouw

boze buurmannen en zware shag

ha ha said the clown we zijn er nog!

[theoverw]

after the whistle-bridge the song goes on in exaltation...

[Pitfossil]
