Love potion number 9, The Searchers

[cheeseschrister]

Herman Cain may have used Love Potion number 999 on his mistress...

[zAdrenalizedGamingz]

I didn't know if it was day or night,

I started kissing every gay in sight,

and when I kissed a cow in a thirty-foot mine,

it broke my little bottle of love potion number nine... xD

[zAdrenalizedGamingz]

I thought this was the beatles

[TheMrSpringleaves]

[sera817]

As much as i love the beatles, they took away alot respect for the other english groups. There was so many good groups from england.

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

this is the most "beatles" sounding tune of the searchers hits to my ears.

[lovelyfairy27]

I love this song. My dad always had the oldies station playing when I was little and this song always made me laugh.

Beatles clothing xD

[bobmartin760]

Isn't this a cover of the Coasters from the 50's?

[blueguitarz17]

@bobmartin760 No, The Coasters had a minor chart entry with "Love Potion No. 9", in 1971, a song that Leiber and Stoller had written for the Coasters originally, but instead gave it to The Clovers to record, in 1959. It's a cover of The Clovers' version.

great band they never got there due or respect.

[blueguitarz17]

@securitycat11 Agree with you there, even the Beatles highly regarded them, along with the The Rolling Stones and The Animals.

[jerryb19531953]

I still remember all the words to this song.I must have played this 100 times a day on the hi fi record player with the donut adapter for the 45'sLove potion #9 baby

[djepsonatmastnet]

thanks for serving. You and all those that served then were screwed by the politicians, the media and then the folks back home. I had a cousin that was in a base camp there that was over run. He darn near killed his mom when he got back, she tried to wake him up one morning and he forgot where he was. My brother was on the Kitty Hawk about '68-72. Me, I was 18 the last year of the draft. A friend and I was listening to the draft lottery on the radio. He was 6 days older than I, he number was 6.

[sausysamba]

loove it!! and the older generation say that teens now-a-days listen to shit music.

[djepsonatmastnet]

@etjjsj if @LongCharlieSlim was in the military during and in 'Nam cut him a whole lot of slack. He and all who served there then deserve it. Music and thinking about home was important to them. I know from talking to close family & friends when they came back at that time. He saw a lot of things you would not want to I am sure, so please cut him some slack. The people back then, a lot of them, did not. I turned 18 the last year of the draft, but knew ones who went and served there.

[LongCharlieSlim]

@djepsonatmastnet Well son there is no “if” in my past service life. I served in the southern provinces from December 65 until November 66. I went back in 68, no, I was ordered back. A month later when nearing Cu Chi I stepped on an APM, but I was lucky, real lucky. Wearing the local produced “Snakes” instead of issue boots I only lost my left foot and nothing else.Fate cut me some slack that day. But you are correct in that music can sometimes be the only link between home and dark elsewhere.

[london2z]

@LongCharlieSlim I'm so sorry you and so many others had to go through that hell for tricky dick, lyndon b.s. johnson, and many others, while I lucked out and drew a high lottery #. Thank you, and all the others who went, for your courage and sacrifice.

[tazzbytes]

@djepsonatmastnet Yes,please if was in military have mercy.When my brother came home alive i was very happy but it wasnt or never will be the same brother i had before the war. anyway semper-fi to all ty.

[hotmn4u]

@tazzbytes the war and a woman does strange things to a man

[tazzbytes]

@hotmn4u yes,so true.

[DragonHellraiser]

[obbor4]

This is a song that will ALWAYS be "cool"! Those voting "thumbs down"; None of the "cool people" think that you're one of them...

[sandatahangkabaklaan]

my papa's favorite every time he hears this song..he automatically dance! hehe :)

[EAveryGtrBass]

THAT BURNS BISON BASS!!!!!!!! THAT IS THE SHIT RIGHT THERE!!!!

[edictzero]

[benitocamelasya]

WHAT YEAR WAS THIS!THESE SONGS ARE BETTER THAN THE NEW DAYS1!1!1!

[tominorge]

I'm performing this tonight in my high school musical :)

[deideikunblueeyez]

You know I've never heard this song until i went to my little sister's dance recital a few days ago.. they had this song playing for some reason while they did a terrible mixture of ballet and hip hop.. I liked the tune of the song, so here I am now listening to it!! This song is awesome!

[mcc05900]

What is love potion #9?

[jmshaw357]

The song is a classic, but I always whine when its lip-synched. It was hard to make it sound good on TV, I understand, but I still admired those who went on live.

[SERENA12341000]

my song i like it

[farloo100]

what an epic bass

[benitocamelasya]

luv it my music teacher mrs.prater taught me this song

[LongCharlieSlim]

Back in 66 we always played this for Madam "Auntie" Bertha at Phu Bie. She owned the local whore house called the "Palace of pleasure". It took a while, but in the end we taught her how to sing it in english. She did so with a real cute Vietnamese accent.

[etjjsj]

@LongCharlieSlim

OooKay. Don't think it was meant to be a theme song for houses of ill repute.

[LongCharlieSlim]

@etjjsj What song is ever? You need to lighten up son and get out there into the life.

[joshster89]

@LongCharlieSlim I terk my ruv down to mardam woo, you knor that jipsy with that gold cap tuuth. she's gart a pard down on firty forf and vineeee

[tazzbytes]

@wilcarr1 Well ill just say im not a rear em mother f.....semper-fi

[LongCharlieSlim]

@wilcarr1 Well kid,while you were sitting in a hole picking at your ass and worrying if you might get killed that day my unit was already out there clearing the forward ordnance chuck had laid out as a surprise gift for you. So,we made it nice and safe for you to dance through the boonie,and probably why you are still here.

[curvy71]

@LongCharlieSlim thats weird lol

[GodsWildfire]

Man, how old is this song? Total childhood flashback!

[whu58]

Went to Butlins (Bognor) on a 60`s theme weekend a few years ago, The Searchers were brilliant and a cut above all the other bands performing.

[Flippaarn]

[60srecords]

Didnt they release this before the Beatles,  like in 62',or sometime or around that time ,in America ...Or were the Beatles before them?

[paul72kate]

@60srecords Pretty much the same time - they were from Liverpool too like The Beatles and for a time rivalled The Beatles

[AleuWolfram]

oh yeah only cool people still listen to this

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@AleuWolfram got that right!!!

[zapspace]

RIP Tony Jackson, bass player and lead singer on this track.

[MadeAFolbot]

There were so many naughty versions of the lyrics to this song!

[THEATREofPAIN270]

38 people suck and have never tried LOVE POTION NO. 9

[56postoffice]

Hugh Godfrey did a wicked rocksteady version of this song called "My Time" on Studio One,1967

[sunshine18102]

[joeytwosubs]

@BupBeThep Glad you like our old music I am amerrykan.

[dmd356]

The Clovers did it first, but The Searchers perfected it.

[401jasmine]

love this classic song:)

[bgdenham]

Those Burns guitars were cool with those cow horns. They were real popular in the mid to late 60's Collector's items now.

[badorphan]

When I was growing up I had heard that was illegal or something for bands to play live on television. They had to lip sync everything. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[BabylonsKing]

Amazing technology they had way back then? Playing those fancy guitars without any cords, No Amplication system, and a drummer who couldn't keep the beat if it bit him on the butt. I loved that old song but it's so funny to watch these old vids and how truly Crude they were done so long ago.

[123456734459]

[MellowOnSunday]

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS

[waxdcrump222]

You should go to EDIT and SYNCHRONIZATION and make this available on mobiles

[hondotoo]

... cool bass guitar ... what make is it ?

[Poopingbotham]

@hondotoo It's a British made Burns. The Shadows were sponsored by Burns from approximately 1964 onwards

[scoutforpenny]

Don't call Scotty a jerk, he's a great kid, much better than Durbin, I live 20 min from him and believe me he's a great person!!!!!!

I 'm a Scotty Hottie

[JoEllessTV]

lip sync city!

[Poopingbotham]

What's the name of that band that murdered this song in the late 1970's?

[Savvynlady]

RIP Jerry Leiber..

[nomiclas]

@Savvynlady i agree,the old rock creators are going away.we must remember the longest music fad.classical has a leg up but it had a 500 year start.rock may be the longest,big band lasted for a generation,charleston,40's 50's white groups,and classical/rock interpretation.they are all little remembered.our current music that the world loves is based on rock and appears to be the format for the future.just a thought.when you mention Leiber don't forget Stroller!

[wchkchn]

I don't know what there searching for but there gonna find it!

[SPOOKSTR]

thumbs up if your jerk...

[ellencalvo]

I CAN PLAY THIS ON PIANO! (well i used to be able to!)

[kodachromefilm]

Lovely. The Beatles bow at the end.

[maxbatch70]

I was grade 6 when this song was popular, it was always sung by my friend during class programs, my friend became a professional singer in Japan, he squandered his hard-earned money to the boys, as he was gay, he returned home penniless, this song reminds my of my gay friend. he is somewhat alright now.

[ronnyl2]

@kodachromefilm Your right!!!!!! Thats what they need, and a lot of it!!!!!!!!!!

[justtim]

@ronnyl2 You're right, not your right

[ronnyl2]

@justtim Sorry, how about this way. You are right

[OtakuPirate]

I had so much fun that I'm going back again,

I wonder what happens with, Love Potion #10? ;D

[Liozeris]

@OtakuPirate -- I don'no, but how 'bout you go to the liquor store and get some?

Send us a report. If you are able to.

[TaylorJames17]

noooo, its good that the american idol fans discovered this song but please leave the top comment spot for someone that knew it before american idol. peace

[ihkaraka]

VERY NICE SONG!!

[bambamjaa]

Handsome!!



[divisorplot]

why number 9 number 10!

[wiindowliicker]

i told her that i was a flop with chicks

ive been this way since 1956

[PhatFarm60]

Justin Bieber watched this 35 times

[TheTruthHurts732]

35 people never had a sip of love potion #9.

[memmoryofmeashughes]

In elementary school, this song was a mystery song at our party and I was the only one who knew the name of the song. They gave us love potion but it was Kool-Aid.

[Fluffsism]

Anyone brought here by Nicolas Jaar?

[UpstateDV8]

look - no wires!

[Grimmest117]

are these guys even playing their instruments?

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@Grimmest117

Probably, but you can't really tell from watching what the camera shows. Also, if one guitar player appears to be copying what the other one is doing 3/4 of the time, it's because he has to. The rhythm guitarist, drummer, and bassist all play constantly, but the lead guitarist only has occasional solos. What is he supposed to do during the rest of the song?

[12347771]

cold gray day..on my bike from these earliest days

[volleyballNemo23]

i love it when i hear this song on the radio riding with my mom i start singing loudly and sometimes off key but we both think it is hillarious!!! love this song
