Blue Moon-The Marcels-1961

[bcutee11]

I'm 12 and I love songs like this :)

[woodzo40]

@bcutee11 SO.. LOL. I bet your friends dont know.

[ManUntdFCfan]

This is a good song but why did City make it their theme song? It has nothing to do with football

[OfficialRamez]

@ManUntdFCfan blue football kit?

[egor96]

@ManUntdFCfan ..because the moon is blue, clearly. Similar pointless reason man u use the glory glory halleluiah hymn as their song.

[ManUntdFCfan]

@egor96 United's song has different lyrics that actually relate to the club

[snaredrumking313]

theres 28 beliebers

[Jessyleppert]

The Marcels are Better Than Justin Bieber.

[BUCYTHESQUIRREL]

@Jessyleppert

that goes without saying

[nachodip14617]

American werewolf in london brought me here :)

[computerrage]

@nachodip14617 That's very good of him ...Don't kiss him Goodnight (No Necking!)

[toni041961]

[TheChronicleaf]

[minidani111]

lol fucking boring

[CL137626]

@minidani111 I think you meant, "FUCKING AWESOME."

[majoonlalala]

this is music.

[l1nkh0gthr]

Open letter to the 28 nanowits who voted "dislike" on this video: just what in the hell did you think you were gonna get before you watched this? Hint: that wasn't a question. The the individual who posted it: thanks, "American Graffitti" is one of my all time favorite movies. It was like all four years of high school compacted into a 2 hour highlight reel.

[HawxTeamDelta]

bang bang bang

gang bang gang bang

ding ding dong

blue moon

[catpoopjb7]

whats a "marcel"?

[pooka5472]

@catpoopjb7 It's a wavy hairstyle that was popular when this song was recorded.

[MrMonkeysurprise]

@catpoopjb7

It's slang for when you're really drunk and wandering around a city and also you're really hungry, then you see pizza or something in a trashcan but it's not touching anything gross and you really want to eat it.

[ALEZTHEGREAT]

moo mooo mooo mooo lol

[meyerske]

sorry that my generation fucked up music..

[BurninGodzillaJ53]

@meyerske thats true

[calligh]

@meyerske There are big money players involved in the music industry so its not entirely your fault. My generation was inspired by artists like The Clash, The Ramones, Patti Smith etc who inspired us to grab a mike and guitar and just have a go. It didn't matter if it sounded shit - we just had a great time.

[dogkelp]

@calligh

^this. the indie labels that fueled great music in the past have all been bought out by majors, themselves owned by multimedia corporations, and placed under MBAs after the actual music enthusiasts who founded them retired or died, leading to a mercenary, business mentality in place of the old artistic focus.

[Omgsome1just]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?

[computerrage]

@Omgsome1just A song

[CL137626]

@Omgsome1just PURE AWESOMENESS.

[HorseLover91599]

[HorseLover91599]

[koekoekwarrior]

The sound quality is actually very good for 1961.

Ah, looking at those pictures, why can't we enjoy all those things today? Fantastic cars, fantastic music, and sweet girls (better than those ultra-skinny models of today).

I was born years after this era, but even though my heart says 'peace and love'.

[ALLYCAT591]

what a time to grow up in

[ghostchild88]

Back when it was fun to be an American...

[ghostchild88]

[UsHeHate33]

@CinematicallyUnhappy Someone is a very smart person

[deaddreadpunk]

This isn't the Blue Moon original...

[Mekonoman]

@deaddreadpunk then what is??

[deaddreadpunk]

@Mekonoman well, the original song was from 1930s, and I know Elvis did it in 1950s sometime

[ConviDuke]

I was 12 when I first liked this song and that was 6 years ago.

No one is EVER too old to appreciate music, regardless of its age.

[jrob52]

ummmmmmmm...it was done by Glenn Miller in the 40s

[bigben77pghpa]

because you know good music better than most

[PM793]

CTID

[Dirt5o8]

I was only conceived a minute and half ago and this song is still playing as my dad finishes up, and this is the best song ever.

[mrbillhicks]

Rock and roll is here to stay it will never die, it was meant to be that way Lord I don't know why, I don't care what people say... rock and roll is here to stay..... And some old style Ska, rocksteady and reggae..

[LotsOfHugz]

I'm 15 and...this is awesome...

REJECT BIEBER - ACQUIRE BLUE MOON!

Does this make me the 1%

OCCUPY YOUTUBE!

[SenileLeopard]

I'm 12 and wat is this?

[NanyyX0X0]

Love thiss !

[CenterEntertainment]

0:30 what was the drinking age back then??? lol

[heymikey59]

@CenterEntertainment Six.

[5lui5]

I pefer oldies. The singers had great voices without the use of autotune. They actaully used instruments. And their themes were so inocent and pure. Their love songs were actually about love, not sex or making women into sexual objects. Beiber, Minaj, Kesha's music doesnt even come close to this.

[RiseOfThePro]

city till i die!

[soaps67]

age doesn't matter

this song is wonderful

[17snaggle]

was that ron howard

[Boeing727223]

Parents graduated in 1960...1 year out of HS....NEVER will we see days like these!

[ddavenport92]

hate this song united till i die blue shite

[daniyellowjello]

everyone saying "thumbs up if ______ brought you here", shut up. the song existed and accumulated a fan base years before that show used it. therefore all the people here hate you. because thanks to that show, commercial, or movie, the song has become butchered into a cheap jingle for your show's benefit.

[natedoggrevolution]

bom-ma-ba-bom-ma-bom-bom-bom-b­om-ba-ba-bom-bom-bom-bom-ba-ba­ng-your-dang-dad

[BurninGodzillaJ53]

this is like my favorite song of oldie

[WytZox1]

Whenever I hear the original pre-Marcels non-doowop version of this song it just never sounds right to me since this was the 1st version of this song I remember hearing on Top 40 radio as a pre-teen in the early 60s.

[solty69]

Did this as a school part song a fewyears ago and can still remember all the bababababa bit. Love this song

[cathytreks]

American Werewolf in London - greatest horror movie of the modern age set to this great song! 1981

[phattdeej]

@cathytreks See you next Wednesday.

[cathytreks]

[StrangerYouKnow]

@Remzi96 I'm also of an age. Know one needs to know it though. Why tell people? They don't really give a care. Just enjoy the music.

[Remzi96]

@StrangerYouKnow act u care. thanks.

[kaptinkrunch47]

@Remzi96 Maybe cause it's a song and you don't need to be a certain age to like it...I'm 15 also who cares?

[Remzi96]

@kaptinkrunch47 you care. if ur not care. just shut up. the end

[BurninGodzillaJ53]

@Remzi96 I'm 12 and i love oldies I started liking this cause of the music these days I don't like these days music

[theguywhohasalife]

@Remzi96 how is babby formed

[rocknrollfanatic96]

@Remzi96 I'm 15 and I don't think anyone gives a crap about anyone's age.

[wynn2003]

@Remzi96 or old gamm r

[Frisco20071]

@Remzi96 Awesome song. You like it because it has a life positive tone. Read Atlas Shrugged :)

[emilyandsophia219]

Duh life was good then, the president was HOT :) along with his brother.

[amvfan82]

I remember when i first heard this song on Walt Disney Channel (re run in the 80s)

[Bear123Fighter]

LALALALALALALALALALA

[blindmotorhead]

I'm 23 and I love my oldies! Too bad they're not played much anymore.

[Janet17700]

@blindmotorhead They are sung regularly at jazz gigs. I'm singing it at my gig tonight but in more of a bluesy swing still.

Janet

[HowDareThey1970]

@blindmotorhead If you can find a good oldies station in your area they are played round the clock on a true oldies' station.

[greekperson0305]

Thumbs up if you're drinking Blue Moon right now.

[KingSuperFart]

Ed bassmaster bought me here.

[holypicklesmofo]

im only 14 so i obviously dont remember this song, but its my friends moms favorite. i love it, it always gets me in a good mood. i wish we had stuff like this today instead of kesha and justin bieber.

[Beardmania]

@holypicklesmofo There is good music today, you just need to stop relying on the radio or anything mainstream these days.

[MrRonnieG]

@Peacefulamont ~ LIFE was beautiful in 1961.

[BobbyD167]

oldie but a goodie

[Peacefulamont]

When I ever I feel depressed this song always cheers me up!

[Dinoman217]

I think it's just appropriate to play in a movie like American Werewolf in London!

[TheHitsOf1961]

An American Werewolf In London.

[mordred9411]

sooo love this song:)

[MrJoeybabe25]

I'd say that in the book of music, this is the definition of doo-wop.

One of the greatest rock and roll records ever. Does anyone agree that 1961-62 were the very best years for real mature ROCK AND ROLL? Sure, I love the Beatles as much as anyone, but if (God Forbid) their plane had ditched in the Atlantic on the way to NYC, Rock and Roll would have survived just fine, and perhaps would have been better and more varied than the British invasion and acts that hung onto the Fab4 coat tails

[vaiddoh]

OMG! Han Solo @ 1:10

[bigman001000]

fall out new vegas put the shit version.

[HopoTen]

Edbassmaster FTW!

[DaveWollenberg]

@HopoTen I've always wondered: What does 'FTW' stand for? Please let me know. Thanx!

[ChiSportsNut18]

@DaveWollenberg

FTW= For the win.

[DaveWollenberg]

@ChiSportsNut18 Thanx. I thought it meant somethin' vulgar. 

[ChiSportsNut18]

@DaveWollenberg

Backwards it does :P

[HopoTen]

@DaveWollenberg It means For The Win =]

[DaveWollenberg]

@HopoTen Thanx. I was afraid it meant somethin' vulgar. God bless ya, for that. Have a great week!

[Lainietwin1]

This song was just in a play I was in and I LOVE IT! It's the BEST SONG EVER!

[sidneybabes4u2]

I sang the oboma boma bit from memory before I pressed play...

I can't remember what I eat for dinner yesterday but I remembered that...

I'm now singing the rama lama ding dong advert thats at the side...OMG!!!

[JABTAK15]

El chiquidraculaaaaa xD !!!!

[THEINVENTABLETHREAT]

Not the original song. The original is from the early 1930's.

[echofirefly]

@THEINVENTABLETHREAT this was the first to include the scat part, which really makes the song imo

[InterestingPose]

Obam bababam obama bamama

[BESTDEATHEVER64]

the funniest time i ever heard this song is on "going berserk" at the end. great john candy movie XDXDXDX

[larrispiller]

[OnlyParkourShadow]

i used think they said blue moo......im a little slow

[MrRonnieG]

I had just started my freshman year @ Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe Springs, California (Fall 1961) when I first heard this recording. Just fell in love with it and ran out to buy the 45 RPM record. Was madly in love with Stephanie Culberson, all 4'9" and 75 pounds of her. Kept the crush on her until my senior year when Joan Eide took over my heart. Geez those were just great great memories ~ sure, they're gone but they will never be forgotten. Always puts a smile on this old face.

[Peacefulamont]

@MrRonnieG I bet California was beautiful back in 1961!

[MUNCHIES46]

little creepy but

[deanslist101]

Fifty years ago this past March, "Blue Moon" did the most amazing thing. It crashed into the Top 40 at #2 its first week on the charts and by the second week it was #1 on both WMGM and WABC in New York. It stayed in the #1 spot for about three weeks, then at #2 for another few weeks and only slowly, grudgingly, did it make its way down the charts and out. One of the most memorable songs of a great rockin' roll era. 1961 was the ultimate year. It was all downhill from there.

[goneoverboard2]

@deanslist101  Spot on !!! 1961, brill memories, brill songs.

[hunternk8e]

edbassmaster brought me here because of the drive thru pranks

[JimbosliceRecords]

This is when music was music not the stuff tht is on now. these days music is disrespecting women and talking about drugs and money also gangs. if music like this would have stayed around more on the radio i think the violence and gang rate will drop a lot im 16 and i love this music it is great

[NotToImply]

I burst into laughter when this played so abruptly in American Werewolf

[Jermyn78]

@NotToImply Me too. I just thought it was one Hell of a contrast, given the events that lead up to this song being played.

[jttalkshow1]

Im 17 and I love this song, which shows this is an amazing song!!!
