green green new christy minstrels

[rclaughlin]

Believe it or not, former California Congressman Leroy Greene used this as his campaign theme song. I don't know whether the New Christy Minstrels knew this at the time or approved it.

[asukira]

@jumpfreak guilty as charged.

[RudeKoffing]

@jumpfreak Yep how has this song not been used in more movies, tv, covers or been adopted as a sports teams anthem?

[ourdolly2002]

i love this song i met jackie davidson last year at the libraary down the road fronm me she was great

[1f5sda]

My grandfather played this a lot to me when I was a kid.

[rockgor]

Almost half a century ago when the Christy Minstrels came to our

school and performed. The only popular groups

that Ever came to our school.

The Christy Minstrels were very popular. This was their biggest hit.

And "Today" written by the founder Randy Sparks was popular. It was

on a movie sound track. A young Kenny Rogers was a member of

the group.

So was Clarence Treat. Years later I played bridge w/ a guy who told me

Clarence had been one of his High School teachers.

[DerGunzWald]

I like this song. A lot, actually. I have wonderful memories which, in the interest of good taste, I shant mention here...love it.

[55hokies]

I saw The New Christie Minstrels at The Latin Quarter in New York in the early 60's. Best show I ever saw, and I'll never forget!

[justmusicandme]

Barry McGuire sounded so good on this one. Love the NCM!

[FlyboyLWB]

I have always loved this song brings back many good memories

[siameasles1]

great group love barry maguires voice

[cynthianakai]

yay!!



[hamilton59840]

Oh yes, one more thing...Those whom are flaming with negative

posts in here are gettin' the big "Thumbs-Down"....

(along with a chorus of boos and jeers)

while the rest whom are posting great things about

this classic folk-pop hit, the band, with the legendary

folk-rock singer, Barry McGuire, gets the big "Thumbs-Up..

(with rounds of applause and cheers, to a rousing standing ovation)

[hamilton59840]

Ahhhh, this brings back great memories, especially when I

was about 6 or 7 and visiting with some friends in Woodland, WA,

and I would hear this classic folk-pop hit, in 1966.

Nearly 40 years later, I've had the honor of meeting

Barry McGuire in person just before he his solo performance

at the Calvary Church here in Hamilton, MT,

during his spiritual tour in 2004. :)

[howcananyone]

Love these guys and the music. Really brings back memories from the 60's. For anyone in the Los Angeles/Orange County area during that time do you remember Tim Morgon at Socrates? Wish there were some video's of him. What a great folk singer, but at least we can still buy his albums/CD's from his website. Thanks for all the fabulous music.

[1958wvpicker]

hahaha havn't heard this since i was a kid

I just heard from Barry tonight, he's in the tank for money like we are.

I asked him if he would do a fundraiser for Sea Shepherd.

We have work out how to get him here, cause he don't get paid to sing anymore.

So he asked me for particulars. I will get in touch with with SSCS.

I made myself a new friend, and a famous one.

Write Barry thru his site, he'll write back.

Probably the best night I ever had in a while, and I damn near baught the farm today on an icy road

[ctmarck778009]

Do you want me to tell everyone your real name?, OK it is Phil Realing from Thermopolis Wyoming and he is the only openly gay man in that town. Phil go fuck yourself you fat fuck.

[capt777737]

@ctmarck778009

Be scared.

I told them you want to kill me which is true.

[IIl0l]

@capt777737 Is it true that you raped and molested your niece? I heard this from another youtuber. You should be ashamed by doing that to little kids. I hope the town you live in Wyoming gets ahold of this and runs your faggot ass out. Burn in Hell you fat fuck. I will let everyone know on youTube what a sicko pervert you are.

[capt777737]

If he could articulate a phrase like that on the day he was born, when did his speech deteriorate to the point when is became stammered and repetitive? Was it because he was dispassionate to his mother from birth? He hardly knew the woman and yet was so hard-hearted toward her. Furthermore, why did he not only have to sing about it, but encouraged others to join in? This song is taught as a childrens song. No wonder so many kids in the USA were confused in that era!

[beenana]

Man, we sang this song in my Children's Choir ages ago. Way to bring back the memories.

[TSFWS]

Great song...you have some of the lyrics wrong though...

[ambrosiobertodazo]

I didn't know this song was from the 60's I remembering hearing this on Philippine radio in the 70's. I didn't understand what it means except for the part "there isn't no woman who settle me down", I can relate to my unmarried cousin, finally he married though at age 40.

[janettwinkle]

Thanks for sharing this, I used to love this song when I was kid. Does anyone else agree that Barry McGuire sounds like the late great actor Neville Brand?

[tokumas]

it's a song for a legalization of marijuana.

[greatlakesfan]

Although this was before my time, It seems like these people and groups similar to them knew how to do it the right way.

[prettymom777]

I am ready faved it, and downloaded the mp3. It sure brings back memories,of,I hate to admit it,my childhood. Okay,laugh kiddie, but I know afew teen who love eric Carmenand his Raspberres, PLUS The Beatles.

Yeah, I can sing Green Green. Hahaha. With the windows closed.

[Marekitten59]

Thanks for bringing back my youth!!!!!

[TheWindjammer2]

Fantastic college memories!! Everyone stopped drinking and began singing.

Anyone remember "The Cellar" south of Minocqua, WI? "Green Green" and Green Back Dollar" were sure to raise glasses and voices.

[xPryoHyrOx]

bring back the 60's! thats what i say

[gattosub]

I love this song. Gonna put on my traveling shoes and sing a song as I move along.

[tifaxstrife]

AHHH this is the song from the Kirin Green Heart commercial with Arashi! <3

[felixbautista]

Great oldie to reckon with. Thanking you for the upload.

[gattosub]

I just found this hit right now.  What memories this brings back to a simplier and happier time in life. Thanks for bringing this back for all of us to enjoy.

@ZeroEnergyDesign, app 17 comments ago, just enjoy the great song, but seeing you started Green Living; Al Gore uses more power in his house than an entire suburban block. George W Bush put pipes underground to heat his house in winter & to cool it in summer. The Talker & the Doer. Check it out on Snopes. Al Gore is set to make millions off carbon trading. PS Msg from down under, lighten up, enjoy the music, then go out & buy a Solar panel or 2 & start making a difference yourself.

[estelle715]

A nice folk song.have always loved this,It sort of has the same feeling as "Don't it make you want to go home"! 5 stars!

[MrBuckwilliam]

Excellent words to warp the mind of a five year old... i loved this song when i was five and thinking back now, i wqonder if this is why i've pretty much lived my life like a leaf on the wind... "there ain't nobody in this whole wide world gonna tell me how to spend my time"... prolly one o the characteristics that friends will share about me is "you can't tell him anything". not a great personality trait :)

still alive though.

great song, thanks for the post & 5stars

[KEN58FUKUIN]

Ｗｏｗ！！　Ｉ　ｌｏｖｅ　ｔｈａｔ！！

[Myrtle791]

Dave here. The Showboat lounge. Misawa, Japan. (Yeah. A G.I. bar in "A.P. alley.") Music was played by the bartender. I requested "Green, Green" & Ray Conniff's "Besame Mucho" the first time I went there. Next time I showed up, and from then on, within minutes of my arrival, as, I'm sure, he did for the other music lovers. And then there was "Jean-

nie." She became a good friend. One of my best memories & greatest losses. "Dance, little Jean!" wherever you are.

[RJBFIRECHIEF1]

Dave,

when you come through Wake stop at the Drifters Reef!!

[rydag11]

Music today ain't worth crap compared to this

[pkappel006]

you got that right partner....rydag11

[UglySean]

Barry McGuire rocks. Any video image?

[mkp823]

@UglySean Was just thinkin' "that's gotta be Barry McGuire". Unmistakable!

[annie482000]

Timeless classic and worth coming back for another listen. Takes me back down Memory Lane, this one.

[Konata101]

I know this stupid, but my mom had this song stuck in her head from when she was little and she hates it and I found it and keeep playing it lol

I like it though!

[DutchLonelyBoy]

Really nice, i really like it.. love country..

[hamilton59840]

@DutchLonelyBoy Actually, the genre is folk-pop. :)

Great song and great leads from Barry McGuire. :)

[mrgoodvibrations]

Yeah!!! Great anthem.

[kgrueschowjr2009]

this is a classic!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Nice one, new one for me.

[Myrtle791]

In early '64 a bar in Misawa, Japan, called the Mayflower, like others in "A.P. Alley" had a record player behind the bar, rather than a juke box. They seemed to have every American LP known to man. I requested the Minstrels' "Green, Green" and Ray Conniff's "Besame Mucho," and they had them! Every time I went there after that, within five minutes, guess what they played. A girl, there, asked the one I was sitting with what kind of music "Besame" was and the answer was, "mudo music!" (Mood)

[ZeroEnergyDesign]

Green, green, its green they say,

on the far side of their plan;

Green, green, now its time to pay

the man who told us: Yes, we can

Bush and Cheney didnt have the first clue,

bout how to live clean or green;

They increased our addiction to foreign oil,

and started their oil war on foreign soil

(2009 Update - Snicker)

[fntime]

And You don't have 'the first clue' how to enjoy life, music & love. Foreign oil? oil wars? Hey Zero,you chose the correct name, a silly fuck,who can't enjoy the music, you piss on everything that is good about life. You're probably only a silly, 'child', how about, you come back with your childish comments, when you reach adult age! In the meantime you slimey pedantic asshole, "go home and get your fuckin' shine box" Asshole!!!

[rydag11]

who pissed in your oatmeal?

[noteworthy29]

I just bought "The Best of the New Christie Minstrels" for my dearest and oldest friend for her birthday!! OMG...She freaked,,,said she was dancing in her kitchen and all the lyrics cane back into her head!!

[prettymom777]

You just made my day! Every time I remember a song from my childhood, it goes out of my head, and I wrack my brain for months trying to hear it!

I find myself singing to it (with the apartment windows closed, of course.)

The children would think it's corny! HAH! No swearing', no dissin' and no bitch callin'. (Learned it from the kids.)

[prettymom777]

Well, I've tried hunting for it, and can't find it at my, ahem, source. No way I'm going to a virus carrier, so, it's "Look For The Vintage Records Season" here.

Isn't it funny that something you hear at age four sticks with you all these years! It made me feel happy!

[paddyosee]

@prettymom777 Plus they can sing harmony!

[prettymom777]

@paddyosee Yeah! Isn't that so cool? I need the mp3 but BearShare Lite isn't putting it up, and I do NOT trust another place that gives viruses. Oh, I'll link to here.

Fave bar!

Hey, I call myself Pattie in some places! Dad was a Dubliner.

[thescreamingfish]

@prettymom777 Frostwire is the safest of those programs. I prefer torrents or megaupload myself though.

[lensman55]

@prettymom777 'Windows closed' - Uhm hmm; I can do Barry McGuire, but stand at the other end of the room, as, well... to make my pipes do that , well, the volume required would peel paint. Let's see some of those MTV enuchs  do that. Without computer augmentation & a zillion overdubs (Annette Funicello, are you listening?).

[Thoughtland]

@prettymom777 I remember this from mine. Its kind of creepy in a certain way I can't quite define. watch?v=WjvHg9cBriw

[jackwbb]

A GREAT SONG THEN AND STILL NOW

[AnthonysDen]

Beautiful song.Glad you got it,as I sure love hearing it!

[GoldRushDutch]

No doubt! The (new) Main Street Singers are a perfect match.

[1f5sda]

This is a classic.
