Some Velvet Morning - Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood (1967)

[tonyfitzgerald1]

solarphonic, that's beatiful buddy! I also discovered Nancy's best by chance, she is one of the greats of the 60s imo so underrated, love the idea of you finding the song in that way

[jojfritz]

What a great song ... love them both..

[mudslinger54]

I just heard this song today, another great song from the 60s!!

[imwhitewolf]

What a beautiful combine of voices. A lovely song....some velvet morning when I'm straight....it'll never happen...I love you Buck....

[lostbuffalo]

Poppies make a really nice evening tea

[ThatHauntFreak2]

Nancy Sinatra is gorgeous!

[solarphonic]

I was 13 years old when I first heard this song. My father had bought a Nancy Sinatra's Greatest Hits record at a library book sale in 1991. I felt this intense connection to this track and still do to this day at age 34 =)

[RJtoon1]

Eerie but beautiful tune

[buttgrubber69420]

obsessed.

[H2R504]

Hazelwood reminded me of a cowboy out of his element but still trying to fit in with the time at the moment. He told stories through song even though, like this one was quite enigmatic.

[sophie1065]

a beautiful song a hanting one but intersting one the way the music is aranged also nancy as she look,s up holding the flower,s.

[brucebut1]

i can rember the 60's in a grim northern town in north east england that would rather b rembered for hanging simians than good music.

[721rem]

this sounds like a song written while smoking pot because its two different songs.

[721rem]

nice song but scary sounding as hell.

[kickballjedi]

@721rem I just realized his part of the song mentions how Faydra made his life end and her part of the song is about flowers...maybe the flowers ON HIS GRAVE! That IS scary!

[mrwarmth100]

@kickballjedi they are talking about the lovley poppy aka heroln

[5jerry1]

@721rem

I agree completely. There's just something about it that sounds really creepy and almost from another realm. Really spooky.

[58936865233]

What a cool fucking song.

[jeffrefrig]

Why is this just the coolest song ever, kinda? Lee's dead. Too bad, he was a genius.

[KrishnasLittleHelper]

JC Webster hates this song.

[foodstick]

I heard this First on coast to coast as well. I still recall being half awake..stories of ufo activities, and this song running as bumper music...it was so eery it gave me chills .... I will never be able to consider this just a SONG ...The funny thing is I finally figured out what the song was by searching the web for SPOOKY DUET, hahahah

[mrflashfromthepast]

this song came out in 1966. i always remember hearing it .it was winter.it was a haunting song.

[KTKTRock]

Yeah, I think that now this song is most associated with Coast To Coast which used it a few years back and still does on occasion. It is rather typical of many songs from the late 60's with it's psychedelic feel.

[ferociousgumby]

Kind of like a spaghetti Western fused with Romper Room. I really thought I hallucinated this on some bad banana peels. Or was it nutmeg?

[iggyaztec]

Robin Williams said that. Not George Carlin.

[znarf541]

Listen to the flower people... (spinal tap got this one...)

[temujin667]

heard it on art bell years ago. trippy tune. use to fall asleep listening to art bell late at night then would wake up when this song would come on during the break.

[FromCarol]

@temujin667 Yep, Art Bell brought us alot of unbelievaable, far out and just splain spooky and etheral accounts and music. I still miss him Late night talk show junkie, From Carol

[BladeJones]

Wow. I thought this was a Johnny Cash song. Trippy song....

[animascat]

first heard this song by vanilla fudge late 60's early 70's on some heavy acid. really nice. didn't know there was any other version out there till now

[jeffdeanable]

What an utterly amazing piece of work, this song and video. Wow. Too much!

[KellyGreen5555]

I wish Will Ferrell as Robert Goulet would cover this goofy ass song.

[WLDFLD]

i'd say "thumbs up if you found out about this from Most Offensive Video" but i doubt ill get many

[ryanspeed]

@WLDFLD Well my friend, you got one thumbs up from me because I heard it there also! (LOL!!!)

[somekindonut]

George Noorey uses it still, just played it a minute ago , made me come look for it, trippy tune!

[VelvetTim]

Rofl

[erniedlt]

Love this song

[khatpandwa]

Good Song

Dear God

Bring Back The Good Days

When Air was Clean

And sex Was Dirty

Ameen

[Hellzyead]

"some velvet morning when i'm straight, i'm gonna open up your gate" that's very deep, you too straight and rhymed it with gate...sounds like some gay dude dreaming about not being gay

[jeffdeanable]

@Hellzyead LOL!

[Hellzyead]

*enter the pretentious cocksucker with the douchey mustache on a horse*

[ncc1701v12]

@Hellzyead well yeah, duh!

[KellyGreen5555]

@Hellzyead HA!

[Spice227]

I also first heard this on Coast to Coast with Art Bell(love his show) I must been one of those who was too out of it in the 60's to remember this! I LOVE IT! Creepy, surreal, hidden meanings only those who wrote it know...keeps you guessing,I Imagine a very soft, unreal,smoky, foggy,slow,dreamy sort of thing, perfect match of singers, rough and gruff and smooth and soft....

[belleagle89]

creepy like a David Lynch movie!

[Spice227]

@belleagle89 I LOVE this song.... all creepy and dreamy with hidden meanings...you can let your imagination drift along on what this is about...Art Bell is the BEST!!!!!!

[1rem72]

this song is so creepy to me, lol

[11savas11]

This was the B side of my 45rpm copy of 'These Boots Were Made For Walking' and I loved both sides equally.

[MrAClawson]

Songs of this quality aren't made too often, if at all, anymore. It was composed... not mixed.

[madder66mortem]

Nice vid and interesting song. Check out Beloved Enemy`s cover of this! It`s ADDICTIVE!!!! :D

[Phaedra72]

Phaedra is my name too..thanks mom

[phaegmoristic]

phaedra is my name too awesome!

[fatcatbuzz]

I love these old videos from the 60s. There was an art to making videos back then.

[Shandael]

Been looking for this one for YEARS....over 30 to be exact. Just when I'd forgotten about it, started hearing it on Coast To Coast with the original Art Bell. Song has been in the back of my head for decades. Thanks so much for posting it, so that I can finally put that to rest, knowing the song title and artists. Still swear he sounds like Johnny Cash though :-P

[gunnarMyTube]

Some Velvet Morning when I´m Straight I´m gonna open up your Gate ?

Odd lyrics but the video is even more creepy with Nancy cuddling those flowers....

[LordKelvin100]

Awesome song! Been looking for this one for a dog's age.

[Kodos1]

Is it me or is this a really strange song?

[johnnowa1953]

Those were the times..If you can remember them, then you weren't there.

[OmegaWeltall]

@_@ this has got to be the weirdest song I have ever heard.... I'm so confused. Not to mention i heard it on Coast to Coast AM, a radio show that confuses me more @_@

[angellosangeles]

@OmegaWeltall you better watch out or Lee Hazelwood is gonna open up your gate...

[hersheybarblues]

It's nice that diyopatino makes this available. I'd catch portions of it on Coast To Coast am, and want to hear more.

[UprightBoltUpright]

i wonder where this was shot at? anyone know?

[angellosangeles]

This song is creepy as hell...but I like it

[clairestarrocks]

I love this song It Rocks

Music is not what It used to be

Am in a band called black Swan

I plan to bring it Back..

Peace

[shadowfether1]

When i was 12 years old i used to sing this song with Ronny Dunn. Has always been a favorite of mine.

[adventurous63]

I don't think I've heard this song in 30 years. Thanks for posting it. They don't make em' like this anymore.

[pilyto21]

It's a Very Psychedelic song, look at when it was made, everybody was experimenting with LSD. "....some velvet morning when I'm straight" and "...look at us but do not touch"

[miketheshanmanmangan]

This is such a great song.Produced by Lee Hazelwood who produced nunerous monster hits for among others Duane Eddy.Lee picked up the mic many times with Nancy summer wine,Jackson and the almost eeerie some velvet morning that she used in her tv special in the late 60,sArt bell and george helped put this classic back on the map with coast to coast overnite...mike

[rocketshipstud]

ha...i remember the night art bell first played this on coasttocoastam radio talk show...i was born in 1965...i knew of nancy sinatra only from elvis movies...apollo era ... love it thanks

[hdthhdh]

I first heard this song because my dad did covers for this and other songs of theirs-i had never heard of either of them so i thought he had written them but he educated me

[xxtinks21xx]

wonder what this song actually means! the mellodies and change of tempo throughout the song are obviously significant but i cant figure it out! any ideas??

[jwwutube]

I first heard this song as bumper music on Art Bell's "Coast To Coast" radio program. I figured the girl was most likely Nancy Sinatra, but I had never heard of Lee Hazelwood. Love at first listen.

[0ldShoes]

I had the same experience backwards.

I loved Lee Hazlewood, was introduced to coast to coast am, and then heard Art's bumper music, this cemented my love for Lee and Art.

[EyMeng]

COAST TO COAST IS THE BEST. I JUST HERD IT TODAY (1 am)

[essanance]

@jwwutube Indeed i listened to Art Bell in the Mid 90s and On and his bumper Music was the best of any radio show ever

[Sleepastray]

@jwwutube I heard this on "Coast To Coast" a few weeks ago! Can't stop listening. :)

[rmed30]

@jwwutube Ha. Same exact thing happened to me tonight and here I am. Great post

[64098]

In the top 5 of '60s duos, Lee had a voice that was really easy on the ears, and Nancy was just one of the sweetest blondes of that era. Got some of their albums.

[facelesshorseman]

"It's not like I've forgotten things, I couldn't remember them when they were happening."

Lee Hazlewood

Quoted from memory,

Mojo Magazine interview.

[clotho98]

Sort of like George Carlin said:

"If you remember the '60s, you weren't there."

:)

[EyMeng]

yeah, what the hell happened to you people in the 60's, and why did you stop
