Otis Redding- (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

[MudFlapper359]

You jerks who like to leave all of the DUMB ASS remarks everywhere should take them and shove them back down your throat!This is much better music that speaks RESPECTIVELY of ones own self rather than the stupid lyrics of"I'm Sexy and I Know it"by the Lame Mother Fuckers that Are Overly expressive about their bodies in the 1st person!And by the way SupaFUCK0,If I were you,I would stop telling everyone that you have special feelings about men!YOU commenting only reminds me that you're still here!

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

@MudFlapper359 The people that you're talking about are proof that light travels faster than sound ... They look good until they open their mouth and speak! (or in this case, type their thoughts.) It's really sad, not to mention, all those who feed off their b.s. comments! What a future!)

[nicker0123]

[HALLPASS333]

one of my favorite song not many people can make you feel what they feel through their songs but Otis has obviously mastered this



[imaginemug]

RIP Otis. Died 3 days after he wrote this song in a plan crash. Didn't write the last verse, hence the whistling :)

[Greedy4TheMusic]

"Sitting on a cock cos I'm gay"

[Pertained]

I woke up to this after falling asleep to it. Really made the rest of my day full of awesomeness x)

[mujokarajcic]

Real music.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

gosh, people will do anything just to make a joke about the dislike bar now-a-days :P

[demonchile27]

This is that classic headnod music

[BenaiahLLC]

classic

[TubeheadSkinnymike]

This should be YouTube's anthem:

"Sittin' at the front of the screen, wastin' tiiiiiiiii-III-I-Iiiiiiime.

:D

[residentevlidead]

I guess this what they did before computers

[IzzyandAlice]

im 13 and this song i love to much

[tclare54]

@IzzyandAlice

As long as 13 yr old kids love this song it will never die. When you grow up share it with a 13 yr old and pass it on!

[TheKylewhalen]

@tclare54 i'm a 13 year old and i'm learning this song in my drum lessons

[Milhometodos]

[JordenjjDC]

@pvtzorn Lol commentsteal

[lindabelle1225]

The record company and his wife didn't like this song but it was good enough to release and make money off of after he died, his only number one release.

[advhutch]

one of the most underrated vocalist of all time, rip otis you died too young baby

[babyjayleigh03]

baby ton and katana and kai  love papa bear " spotted bear "

[Steffanpuckey1]

What was the bands name that had an advert before this song came on, had 2 men in it?

[alligatorwine84]

53 people should be sittin at the bottom of the bay

[eazykilat2]

@alligatorwine84 and 24 ppl who liked this didnt know that sittin on the "bottom" of the bay was the wrong title/lyrics....

[MisZbi0tCh]

@alligatorwine84 Lmao! Touche!

[TheBeastBoy205]

a little slow for me

[KamaainaUH]

Another all time classic. I wished Motown was still around.

[shaftdiesel10]

@KamaainaUH It's not Motown but Altantic Stax,southern soul, soulsville USA, not hitsville USA =). Who cares though, they were both good labels that helped black pop emerge.

[Ottoplemeniti]

[MakesYouSayDamnn]

@shirokid9 your not wasting your time if your loving it

[broomhill7799]

every time i hear this i think of a woman i have never met. most of the time when this track is playing im about to loose everything.....agin. Not much has changed im sorry to say. May the Lord have mercy

[bingin15]

@broomhill7799 i hope things get better for you! the one lie about life is that people think that it's too late to start over or to change direction. it's never too late to try to change your life.

[tsh811]

@bingin15 Well said! My Mum's doing her first degree @ the age of 48. It is never to late!

[bingin15]

@tsh811 awesome! i know a lot of people who come back for a degree later on in life, and they are totally awesome too!

[broomhill7799]

@bingin15 Thanks, nice to know kindness still exists. I guess sometimes its easy to loose yourself in your mistakes. everyone needs a hug from time to time even if its a few lines from a stranger on youtube. May the Lord bless and keep you all your days.

[bingin15]

@broomhill7799 you too! hope things get better :D

[Tstasis]

<3 OTIS<3

[garyw930]

May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this track.

[josuedcv]

What a great voice he had.

[n1Cam3leon]

Love it!!!

[gypsylurve]

Who's going to make me a cup of tea? I may have just melted a bit.

[MrThePwnisher]

Sitting on a cock, cause I'm gay

[honestjane843]

So, he left GA for CA...and what did he find out?

[SDotAlexander]

THIS IS A REAL GOOD SOUL CUT , I SAMPLED THIS SONG CHECK ME OUT IT'S IN THE VIDEO RESPONSE SECTION

[Hurley1918]

It's hard not to SMILE when listening to this song ;)

[MrJumanji83]

two minutes and forty seven seconds of joy.

[MrUnitedkiller]

sitting on the dock of the bay with my weed and my beers

[honestjane843]

@MrUnitedkiller Damn, can I sit w/ you?

Lol.

[gretchaninoff]

such a deep song, all i can think about is sittin on the dock of the bay, chillin'

[Camofamily1]

it must have been about 1994 when I first heard this song. I was with a friend and his dad, which was a racist. He got done telling a story about trying to run over a "nigger" with his truck and minutes later told everyone in the truck to be quiet because his favorite song was on the radio.. Sittin on the dock of the bay was on and I've liked it ever since. So, even though people can be closed minded, stupid and petty they can still offer something positive! Otis Redding rocks!!!!

[supplydahigh09]

@Camofamily1 very touching story.....

[JordenjjDC]

shittin on the cock of a gay

[iluvu35]

@JordenjjDC hahahaha

[lashondraable]

@JordenjjDC asshole

[MrChargersfan01]

So many great supertalents have been lost to airplane crashes over the years, It's so Sad...

[lashondraable]

@MrChargersfan01 i smell a c o n spiracy

[IFLYmileyANDselena]

I can't believe amazing talent like this was crashed with a plane :(

Thumbs up if you agree

[jukrat]

Min ungdoms favorit Otis Redding

[LeBurque]

I'm not that much of a soul fan, but this song really got me

[wildsmiley]

@LeBurque If this song really got you, then you're on your way to loving soul music. Trust me, classic soul is just wonderful.

[MixMaster3210]

He died in a plane crash in the lake thats in my city madison :(

[StateCollapse]

That whistling at the end is so fucking epic. RIP Otis! You are missed!

[the71mojorisin]

Poor Ottis Dead and Gone, left me here to sing his song, Pretty Girl with the red dress on, Poor Ottis Dead and Gone.

[showerwt]

Its fucked up that when you type in 'otis', not 'otis redding' comes up, but 'otis kanye west'. I know Jay Z and him had great intentions, but its just a very bad song and there are people who like that song and don't like otis' music or worse: they don't know otis redding.

[mexistache760]

sittin' on a cock cuz I'm gay

[titenrite]

[TheMrosenbaum]

[dawnjakeleah]

I did travel 2,000 miles from home, just to make this dock my home. From South Dakota to Oregon - give or take a few miles. Also this song was in my head the whole time. So Ottis Redding, I thank you. I have loved this song forever.

[kissbandfan1]

im 13 and i love this song

[TheAlexk179]

@kissbandfan1

me too!

[kissbandfan1]

@TheAlexk179 cool!

[saralmfao]

AHH this song never fails to make my day

[sfs596]

Im 18 years old and this is my favorite song of all time

[macwoodtv]

Otis Redding recorded the whistling at the end of the song because he forgot the words, he told his producer he was going to re record the end with words at the end of his national tour. He died three days later in a plane crash, and the whistling stayed.

Thumbs up so people can see

[xxxEMINENTxxx]

@macwoodtv GOD BLESS YOU for posting this comment,i never knew this 8::(

[lehtinen21]

@macwoodtv I just looked that up on Wikipedia and that seems to be an urban legend. He meant to do the whistling thing.

[onometopoeia]

@lehtinen21 It's a great story though.

[jhchouston]

@macwoodtv Umm, you are almost correct.. "When Otis recorded this with Steve Cropper (his producer), he didn't have a last verse written yet, so he whistled it. Otis planned to return to Memphis and fill in the verse after performing in Madison, Wisconsin, but he died before he had the chance."

[gretchaninoff]

@macwoodtv the whistle was the perfect ending to a perfect song.

[DaPaD90]

@macwoodtv so last recorded song??? special in itself besides the quality of the song



[MannDroid]

Thumbs up if you can't hit those whistle notes clean no matter how hard you try.

[24428997]

46 idiots out there who know naff all about music.

[1love2respect]

boss whistle solo 2:20

[DJSexLeopard]

this song reminds me of a nice cool breeze on a warm day sitting on the beach watching the sun go down as the clouds turn peach colored.

[zdragonforce]

Fuck Ads and Hunts!

[razorscooters98]

I FUCKING LOVE OTIS REDDING!!1!

[BigJRosenberg]

[FabioDaButterMan]

He has the most incredible voice in the world IMO.

I hear all kinds of metal,prog rock,some blues , jazz and even some DB once in a while,and I find this man's voice simply the best in the whole world. Like gleeber said "this dude's voice has a life of its own". It's incredible.

[lovefan300]

i heard this song in Georgia on an old jukebox and i gotta tell ya this a great song

[dawnjakeleah]

This song lead me to leave South Dakota and drive 2,000 miles to Oregon. So here I am in Corvallis, Oregon - lovin every minute. Still haven't found that dock, but I am looking.

[SuperNinjaBalls]
