[80111live]

[LVCrocky]

thunderbird back in the day 90 cent bottle rock gut shit uh

[brownindian17]

remember this well from the 60,s

[DrTalk1]

Yeah, this DOES sound pitched up. As a former DJ of 20+ years, that's the 1st thing I noticed when I started listening to this. None the less, still a classic!

[dizzydaves2007]

@DrTalk1 yep. had a varible speed turntable and grandkid moved the dial and I didn't realize it until after posting. I will change out the audio and redo it sometimes this week. Thanks!!

DJS" ROCK!!

[snarkus63]

Somewhere on YouTube there's a version of Desmond Dekker singing "Israelites",a live performance at some club,that's a tiny bit faster,and subsequently in a different key,that what I usually hear on the radio.I like that version better.

I like this too.

[dilseygirl]

We used the sing this on the Saturday ski bus when I was in junior high in the early 60s

in Spokane...it was a rowdy trip of about 25 miles to Mt Spokane.

[bobzani]

Red wine= very healthy drink!

[1millionscovilleclub]

@bobzani A hangover that lasts for 3 days!! Vodka wont even clear your head.

[irawaldman]

Saw Tom Paxton last night and he did Bottle of Wine, the way he does it. I hadn't remembered that he wrote it, I just remembered the original rocker by the Fireballs. Just shows what you can do with a great Tom Paxton song. Vastly different than when Tom does it, but both ways are great.

[waltonwannabe]

I don't mean to disagree with mpsicily but this is the original version and sounds exactly as I remember it. Sounds good.

[jarirusi]

@mpsicily Yes it is. Otherwise this is great funny song.

[blackmountainboar]

Give a man the bottle, he's drunk for a day...Give a man the vine, he's drunk for a lifetime ;-)

[oldlures]

Bottle of Wine

Losing my mind,

this tune is driving me crazy

Get out of head

I'm going to bed

I don't want it playing no more

[TulseLuper]

@mpsicily I kinda like it too fast actually. There's more urgency and it fits the theme of the track.

[britshop]

@TulseLuper Go out and buy this song on a 45.

[britshop]

@britshop Hi am back And guess What, Im drinking red wine and thinking it over.

[ebf1957]

Great party song.

[cliftongal51]

Every college guy I knew in 1967 sang this song with relish and gusto. I was too young for all of them, but I sneaked in a couple of parties and heard them all sing this at the top of their lungs. Great memories...

[Naushop1]

This song never gets old. The band I was in back in senior year covered this.

[johna166]

This is a good rendition!

I had a friend who drove the unbalance, and the fire chief in a sleepy little town.

Here's to you PAT1

I went with Pat's parents to identify the remands.

When Pat was at "North Eastern State college in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, I saw him dig cigarette butts oiut of a plate of cold spaghetti!

No, my generation never did any thing. We just won a "COLD WAR"

Sleep well, there are no mushroom clouds on your horizon!

[MrGb4ever]

My pants are so old, they shine! Lol!!

[thedragonslady]

@mpsicily no that is how it sounded.

[michaelsmorrison]

Water And Wine

I could never color within the lines

or play well with others or take my time

when i got older i just wanted to dance

I never gave the moment a chance

the addictions that I met moved on with time

until i couldn't tell the difference

between water and wine

M.S. Morrison

[manhatin]

I have the LP. This song is one of my all-time favorites. Makes me want to cruise.

[xStephanieMx]

fuckin buckfast bro #1

[modtbod]

This used to be the theme song for the radio station W.I.N.E right?

[SuperSaiyan2Vegito]

Good song. I think I've been laid off.

[mikenoxaura]

good song..remember the first time my stepdad played this for me..that was 1980...lotta memories.

[centralparocker]

Great song!

[cliftongal51]

This song came out in 1967 and was THE favorite song of every college guy in Tempe, Arizona. I was too young to understand why, but they all sang it at drinking parties. And Tom Paxton wrote it!

[TheMustangsally75]

Of course I like it!!! Let's open another bottle. Can't liive on Mrtini's alone!! LOL!!!

RIDE SALLY RIDE

[Nguli34689]

It used to be one of my favorite drinking songs in the old days.

[sunrecords56]

Old Tyme Rock N Roll in the Mid-60's different for its time

[CassetteRookie]

@mpsicily The pitch is just a tad high, thats usually how it is with 45's. =/

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

I remember this song.

I have not heard it in years.

Thanks for posting it.

George Vreeland Hill

[jarirusi]

Irresistible, known this song for years. Thanks for posting dude.

[dublinboyo]

The first 45 I ever bought in 1969 . . .

[gattosub]

Our other anthem!!

[staticbear76]

heheheheh this is a fun song i remember when mom played this too as a fun song to cheer me up when i was a kid.

[ICit4U07]

Anybody remember "Jupiter C" by Pat and The Satellites on Atco?

[plumbsue]

@ICit4U07 I certainly do not, remember anything as that.

[ICit4U07]

@plumbsue It was a rock'n'roll instrumental from the late 1950s. If I recall correctly, Jupiter C was a monster 3-stage U.S. rocket used back then to put our early astronauts and satellites into space. Ergo, "Jupiter C" by Pat and The Satellites.

[cessnaace]

I just bought a copy of this on 45. Atco was probably my favorite label as a kid growing up in the 60s, because of all the great releases. The Coasters' Along Came Jones was an early favorite. :)

5/5'd. :)

STAY AWESOME! :)
