Whenever I hear this song, I think of that scene in American Beauty with Lester in the drivethru with his music cranked up and the car filled with pot smoke....lol!
Ooh...I just saw the last part of this video where Burton Cummings introduces the band members and the guitarist on the left ISN'T Randy Bachman!! :-O
Huh??? :-\
Where was Randy during this appearance on "The Midnight Special"???
@dibber43 Bachman was long gone by the the time the Guess Who played on the Midnight Special in 1974. Randy Bachman left the Guess Who in 1970 and was replaced by Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw.
I remember this episode of Midnight Special. Burton Cummings had cleaned himself up tremendousy and looked a lot different from the early days. If you look at some of the pre-1970 videos of this band, you can see he definitely did look like a hippie Jim Morrison-like dude. Why the image change? I don't know but he probably wanted to nail more American Women and they required that you take a bath!
Burton cuts his hair, grows a moustache, puts on a leisure suit, and ends up looking like The Doobie Brothers' Tom Johnston doing a Burt Reynolds impersonation.
Unbleievable voice. If this voice in ANY package appeared in modern music, well, it would be a giant hit again. I think he looks like a giant Freddie Mercury.
I don't think I've ever seen a voice NOT match a man's appearance this much in all my life! LOL
Even though I've heard The Guess Who's classics on the radio for decades, I hadn't seen Burton Cummings until this video. From the sound of the voice I pictured a wild, hippie Jim Morrison-like dude, not a giant Burt Reynolds.
@tonusaitis this is when Burton Cummings was entering his lounge lizard period.If you see earlier pictures when this song was recorded he has big curly past shoulder length hair&definately dressed more like a hippie.A lady who was our camp weekend cook was from Winnipeg, and remembers being at a party where Burton Cummings was wearing only a pair of red Stanfields long underwear with the trap door in the back.Still one of the best voices in rock....great writer too, imho.....
@tonusaitis go back to about 1969-70 and Burton Cummings was indeed a hippie Jim Morrison-like dude. I think he actually envisioned himself to be Jim Morrison-like.
at your comment of the voice not matching the artist. go check out the vids for "Foxy - Get Off" I could have sworn it was a woman singing that or even women in the background .
@tonusaitis He did look like a typical hippy in the late 60s, & the first few yrs of the 70s, look at pics from 68-75-hard to believe it's the same guy-but the all white pimp suit is priceless
I remember when I was around eight I think I had The Greatest Hits 8 Track tape and one weekend my family and I went up to see my Aunt and Uncle up in Pittsburgh....I played that tape to death...I played it so much that someone actually hid it from me and I never did find it.....I'm sure they probably threw it out because they got tired of hearing it....Thank Goodness for CDS :-)
This is good. I'm from this era. Burton can sing! Loved the "Stand Tall" single. Wow, what a voice. Let's see if that shit today can sing like that! I doubt it. They're too busy raping, killing, stealing and looking sexy to feel music and sing it from the heart. Todays music is trash. No wonder kids are so messed up! Yesterday's music is class, soul, heart, feeling, depth and just plain GROOVY!
I love the look the song and the band. I truly hope rock makes a comeback. Someplace where artist can last for years putting out great songs. There are so few bands that have quality cuts on their releases. I almost said albums.
Liesure Suit Larry singing too! Saw these dudes Gold Creek Rock Festival in Woodinville Washington back 40 years ago. And ya know, I took their advice and am married to a Canadian. Heavy tune then, heavy tune today. Oh, sorry if I offended anyone. :)
This was a "warm-up session" developed to have the band "jammin" when they hit the stage, they needed a filler song to complete the 45 flip-side but had none
so they chopped, cut and taped(the clear stuff) a 25 min. session down to the masterpeice we now love. hence the name, which until I learned the truth though it was named for the artistic monsterosity the song exudes.
P.S. THIS DAVE GUY BELOW IS JUST A TROLL, eeewww troll slime,
Ye shal read about it in the media: Hitler revividus A.H. walks the streets of Nuremberg again in a new flesh dress having HIV 4 al the bloudshed & bites of a tick etc. & his black spirit on the unholy throne o' unholy RCC. Read in Daniel, the ultimate two chapters, & c; also the 31st of Deuteronomy - & we will see.
What factors will decide it? cross Heb.true Faith? or cross Ger. echt Glaube? The unholy Messiah to come 4 his unholy Gaby bride. just around the corner, don't fall 4 the cheaptrick.
I can remember the very first time I heard this song and I thought "Oh no the Americans are not going to like this at all" because it is the biggest insult song ever written
But now living here in Arizona I hear it on the radio EVERY DAY
I just don't get it...I guess all the Americans are just listening to the chorus....AND THEY JUST WILL NEVER GET IT
I thought when the Guess Who ever played this in the USA they would get beaten
@DaveScarcella Hey Dave two things 1) why don't you do back to whatever third world country that you immigrated from.2)There is nothing to get. It is music not Hannity and Colmes
saw them live in n.z. -- i've seen many top bands but the guess who really rocked, three dog night came on after the guess who and they were nowhere as good, in fact a lot of people left, the g.w were a very hard act to follow.
funny to see burton looking like a disco dude. but fantastic to see kurt winter live. as a young player, i was astounded at his tone and his style. god bless him.
Aside from Lanny McDonald, this is the most recognizable mustache in Canadian history. The mustache itself has its own postal code and is even admired by the late Louis Riel.
This was only the Guess Who by name only..without Randy Bachman, it was really just the Cummings band. And there is something about these guys which is lacking. Still sounds good though, but not as significant a sound. It looks like they are only going through the motions.. no real feeling behind the music.
@everettd89 They share the same last name, "Cummings", but I'm from the town where Rob Zombie was born and raised and I know for a fact that his dad was a furniture salesman.
this song goes out to the countless men divorced by their american wives...
they lose custody of their children,they have to pay outrageous child support and a lifetime of alimony while her ex-wife kicks him out of his house and moves in with her new boyfriend...
and she will also get the brand new car...
the ex-wife of course will not marry her boyfriend because she will forfeit the alimony...
THAT YOUR AMERICAN WOMAN...IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THAT, THEN JUST HUMP AND DUMP HER...DON'T MARRY HER
@BetaDeltaCebu This is not about American women. This is an anti-Vietnam war protest song. The 'American woman' referred to in the song is the statue of liberty.
@FatSalinio Mr. Cummings does kind of look like Burt Reynolds in this; Well, did you know that this was the number one tune on The Billboard Pop Charts when Tina Fey was born? Neat, isn't it?
What about the looks of Cummings....he is one of the greatest singer-songwriter-piano-players (plays saxophone too, on "Life on the bloodstream"from the album "So long Bannayne"(1971) Randy Bachman is his mate again, and they keep on making music...still going strong. Kurt Winter was OK, Yes, it's a pity he died so young. The drummer Gary Peterson - great drummer - is still with them, from the beginning.
Obviously after Bachman left the group. If Bachman and Cummings could have gotten along better they would have been a major, major super group, ah well, they were still great. Bachman and Cummings appear to have made up now too.

What about the looks of Cummings....he is one of the greatest singer-songwriter-piano-players (plays saxophone too, on "Life on the bloodstream"from the album "So long Bannayne"(1971) Randy Bachman is his mate again, and they keep on making music...still going strong. Kurt Winter was OK, Yes, it's a pity he died so young. The drummer Gary Peterson - great drummer - is still with them, from the beginning.

Obviously after Bachman left the group. If Bachman and Cummings could have gotten along better they would have been a major, major super group, ah well, they were still great. Bachman and Cummings appear to have made up now too.
