  • what does religion have to do with this song? its bout his gf that left him

  • @MsMotherfucker420 Ahhh I have no idea! :)

  • wow - thought cat stevens would attract more hippies and less lunatics.... Islamaphobia is exactly that - a phobia created by the divide and conquer tactics of the western elite. An easy an convenient target after 9/11 although Saudi Arabia (all the 911 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, with the exception of Fayez Banihammad, who was from the United Arab Emirates) seems to escape this irrational fear and hatred.

    Still as the hippie says - it is indeed a wild world...

  • I wonder why people are arguing about WWII and Bosnian war here O___o

  • JUST MISSED!!! In 1971 "Wild World" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 13 weeks in the Hot Top 100, it also was Mr. Stevens' debut onto the charts!!!

  • the music is good, but islam ....

  • @BennyDACHO You Islamophobic fool. There is nothing more wrong with Islam than there is with any other religion. If your gonna be an ignorant git, at least be equal in your irrational hatred.

  • @TheFunkyPharoah

    I don't like religion in general, but Islam is definitely the worse. Islam is involved in 20 of the 21 conflicts in the world.

    Black slavery in Mauritania. One million out of a population of three million. Genocide in the Darfur province of Sudan by the Arab government and an Arab tribe called the Janjaweed. Muslim suicide terrorists in Israel. Pakistan vs. India

    etc.

    Reason enough?

  • @BennyDACHO Was Hitler a muslim? Or Stalin...or Mussolini? What about the oppression and humiliation of Native Americans and African Americans, who did that?

    What about Bosnian War? Did muslim kill 800.000 people in Rwanda? Etc...

    Why is everyone keep mentioning Islam. Just enjoy the music...

  • @ElisaDur

    The Muslims supported Hitler. The Mufti of Jerusalem supported Hitler. Have you ever heard of the Muslim SS handzar division blessed by the Mufiti of Jerusalem himself? The Muslim Turks massacred approximately 1,5 million Armenians during and after WWI (1915-1923). Bosnian War / Kosovo War == MUSLIMS INVOLVED. AGAIN.

    The Holocaust and genocide in Rwanda are sporadic and arbitrary in nature. However, Muslim violence and belligerence is consistent throughout the world.

  • @BennyDACHO I'm sure muslims are to blame for the hurricane Katrina as well

  • @ElisaDur

    No, it's not a conspiracy. Muhammadanism is just a belligerent and violent cult whose greatest idol was a paedophile.

    Face it. Islam is involved in most conflicts because they want to convert the whole world to their religion so they can create a caliphate dictated by Sharia law and oppression of the common man.

  • @BennyDACHO I don't think it's a conspiracy but ignorance. If you talk about Islam, or any other topic, u need to be fully informed. I read all holy books, and u could do that too. Find one single violent thing in lslamic holy book! All I'm saying is that what those exremists do with what that book teashes muslims.

  • And yes, I know about the Handzar Division, formed within the Independent State of Croatia (nazi country) led by the fascist Pavelic.

    We can talk about The Crusades as well. But we don't want to bore people now do we :)

  • @ElisaDur

    I would be impressed that you knew about the SS Handzar division if it weren't for the fact that your sentence was worded exactly like the beginning of the wikipedia article about the subject. Fail.

  • @BennyDACHO I don't want to go into that, but no it's not true as Handzar Division is something we learn about in primary schools. Resolutions issued but Muslims at the time is something you should read about.

  • @ElisaDur I meant, is not what the book teaches muslims (my mistake) :)

  • @ElisaDur

    I've read a Danish translation of the Qu'ran. I'm going to read it in the original Arabic in about two years when I'm done learning Arabic.

    The content of that book is disturbing. I don't want to go into details since it's futile to try and argue pedantically on YouTube.

    The Qu'ran, however, is irrelevant. What is relevant is to look at the adherents of the religion, and countries associating with that religion. When you do that you find nothing but violence and oppression.

  • @BennyDACHO I think it's relevant, but the logic you go by makes no sense to me. Anyway, it's your opinion and I won't argue about it on Youtube, specially not under such a lovely song. It's a shame...

  • @BennyDACHO Btw, the only bad language and hatred I see here is coming from non Muslims to Muslims.. How civilized..

  • @ElisaDur

    That's because Muslims speak in two tongues. We are candid, however. For example you wouldn't hide your hatred for Israel (because that seems to be something you think we 'accept'), but you hide your hatred for the Western world.

  • @ElisaDur

    Don't talk about Bosnian War when you don't know shit about it.

    Bastards were on all sides, victims too. Muslim snipers in Central Bosnia killed thousands of wives and children.

  • I came here to listen to a song i saw a few people insulting my religion!!! plz just enjoy the music AND SHUT THE HELL UP

  • @laehab

    That's because your religion (or rather cult) is shit.

  • Like so many other things Islam has also destroyed Cat Stevens. Is there anything Islam doesn't destroy?!

  • @BennyDACHO he is still singing you know he simply became a muslim!!! what is the big deal in that!

  • @laehab

    Yes, and his music is shit now since he became a Muslim

  • @BennyDACHO why?! cause he became a muslim just ignore the fact that he became a Muslim or his message is for muslims and listen you like it... it is just because you hate us so much you are being blinded and guess what islam taught us you have your own believe i have mine i respect yours you respect mine!!!

  • How come this guy has an American accent when he is British?

  • read the description : Cat Stevens the performer is what this video is about. The deal with Islam and such has nothing to do with this. No religious beliefs are perfect, you must use your own mind and creativity. Religion is a guidance not a law in which to punish and hate. Rock on my brothers and sistas from around the world..

  • @ibrahime316 i hate sistas whatever they are

  • @blkblod I don't even knows what is sistas is ?

  • I <3 him and <3 his voice !!!

  • Comment removed

  • im 15 and i love this, am i a weirdo?

  • @majoelche

    yes.

  • Cat Stevens-comeback to the strait and true path once again.(like the prodical son)-your will find real peace and happiness.

  • Comment removed

  • @ggarciamartinao If he is meant to go back, he will regardless of religion or anything else.

  • @ggarciamartinao if you miss him. you can watch and listen ti his new musics, which are also nice as before when he was not Yousif Islam

  • ; Lo mejor de lo mejor,, <3.

  • It's a wild world ;(

  • Thumbs up if you're watching this in 1971!

  • Why oh Why did you change Cat Stevens???

  • @snadar1 so the answer he found there some things which he missed before *MAYBE*

  • old songs are the best!

  • 496 dogs were here

  • impressive

  • Comment removed

  • ISLAM A WORD THAT MEANS SUBMITT- SURREMDER- THIS IS NOT A RELIGION OF PEACE.NOT A RELIGION OF LOVE. IT IS A RELIGION THAT TEACHES HATE AND PREACHES MURDER. I THINK IT IS SUCH A SHAME SUCH A GREAT TALENT WAS BROUGHT INTO SATAN'S CULT!!!!!

  • @The1bassfreak hey, please, Dont talk about islam here, u know nothing about that religion, just shut up and listen to the music. Study more, Read the Holy quran, then u know.

  • @adlanguitarist

    Fuck Islam

  • @The1bassfreak You are Crazy! There's no talking to people like you. Get your facts straight and then maybe, just maybe, somebody with sensibility and intelligence will spend the time on you. 

  • @The1bassfreak u r over doing it!!! read about islam before you insult

  • greattt

  • "Religion is a guidance not a law in which to punish and hate." Brilliant dude.

  • Over 12.5 million people will confirm this, Cat Stevens is an awesome talent; a great musician & a song-writer.

  • @velvetguitar95

    Well, guess we've got opposite thoughts! :)

  • @GTCism " the satans cult, islam"?? i hope you just trollin dude, srsly!

  • @GTCism An action of a person doesn't tell you the whole thing. Not all Muslims are bad as you thought. Only certain Muslims with the wrong teachings are guilty. Please be careful with your words.

  • yes!!! all the real cat stevens please stand up!! throw on of those fingers on each hand up!

  • !fuckyeah!

  • this song always reminds me of my mom

  • @4aKlondikebar Your mom left you?

  • 🙏👏

  • @roblox12304 Hey :)

  • This song brings a smile to my face, what a wild world we live in!

    Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) may Allah bless you. The true path is the path with God, No matter what religion you are. :D

  • You wrote words of wisdom , Mr. Griggs. Nothing to add. Regards.

  • like his songs but don't like the Islamic turning point in his life when Jesus is the true salvation path

  • DYLANS SO CRAP TO STEVENS

  • Ishikawa from Ghost in the Shell looks just like Cat.

  • por un sahara libre

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU WATCHING THIS IN 2012......

  • @FloralPrintVideoJamz Nope, watching this in 1971, sorry.

  • @FloralPrintVideoJamz He looks like a cat

  • @Eurekanet Idiot! Take your religious hate-mongering elsewhere, all religion is bollocks! Just enjoy the fucking song!

  • @Eurekanet Dont talk with lack of knowledge...guarantee youve never read the quran or tried to understand it...cat stevens is muslim now..just saying

  • What a rare talent,we are fortunate to get the music we did from him.All religions should be kept to themselves,preferably in your own homes. Everyone should treat their fellow man or woman the way they want to be treated. When i die i want all the music at my going away party to be Cat Stevens.peace to everyone even the haters.

  • Dec 11 - 2011 the meaning of this song was revealed to me......

  • @Jnewo Oh Yes! :D

  • When I hear the Lalalala intro I always imagine Peter Griffin singing it... Weird uh?

  • @AtheistWoman You are everything that's wrong with the world today. You may not be a terrorist youself, but you are an enabler. I hope the CIA knock on your door soon. You disgusting alien cunt!

  • "and it's a hit" ha ha fuck you music industry .

  • Magnifique!!

  • Musik has no religion ♥

  • Just these words...

    He's a Soft-Rock master.

  • Musik has no religion <3

  • Voice of a angel.

  • he is perfectttt ... i love this song

    the best song ever ever

  • Eargasm

  • Michael Jackson had NOTHING on him.

    This guy's the best!

  • @IcyFalls Your comparison makes no sense. They have 2 different style.

  • @TheGolbez Has nothing to do with "style". I'm talking vocals and primarily Fame.

  • @TheGolbez you're right! It's ridiculous.

  • @IcyFalls WTF does Michael Jackson have to do with this? What a jerk!

  • @IcyFalls

    You cannot compare the two. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Michael Jackson and Cat Stevens are two different types of singers.

  • cat stevens is from jewish family - i think

  • @asturido  HE IS GREEK U ))))!!!!!!!!!

  • Still prefer the Maxi Priest version

  • earwig ! ! ! ! !

  • @FlaguerPaguer420 naaah, thats shit

  • Whats the big problem with religion I am Christian and proud

  • @gregsmithjazz

    Proud of what..Proud of something that happened by accident?Pride is reserved for something you achieved on your own.Being Christian,Muslim or Jewish is not a skill...Be happy that you're a christian and not proud...Pride creates problems...

  • @KINGMJ1990

    Well said, dear Sir

    

  • so lets get this right so I can understand..I am of no faith at all.. THERE IS NO GOD OF ANY TYPE, you jerks just use god stuff because you are sick people.Do you release what counts is taking your dog for a walk and not having to worry about some wankers blowing things up.

    I know things won't change..sad isn't it..Beach

  • we do not listen to the past and tend to go and make the same mistakes our elders did. our elders do not try to understand us and are rigid but want the best for us. this song is deeper than most could ever handle and most do not understand the meaning. when we finally can communicate by feeling ones thoughts it will become clear.

  • Песня отлично характеризует все вокруг!

  • good! I like this song

  • I am a muslim, and I love music

  • la la la la la la la la la LAhhhh

    ...

    Oooh baby baby its a wild world!

    damn i love you Cat!

  • Proud to be a Muslim and Rocker becuase of Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam.

  • His breath stinks ,yes it's a wild world now he changes his name into Yussef !

  • One of the best songs from its time, right along the Carpenters

  • Bryon10301 if you are going to troll do it right. To me your just a fat kid who chokes his chicken all day behind his computer. When you troll sound like you know something and don't curse you just sound retarded saying oh this guy is a piece of shit fuck fuck fuck fuckedy fuck fuck. So moral of this is just shut up about a good artist.

  • fuck Donovan! put this dude on the Hall of Fame NOW!!

  • Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) is a piece of shit ... Search this on youtube and judge for yourself: "Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens Calling for the Death of Salman Rushdie " ... NO BUTS, NO EXCUSES .... if you call for the death of other people, you are a PIECE OF SHIT. In this case, he is a muslim piece of shit.

  • @Byron10301 You are a piece of shit

  • @Byron10301 go die

  • @Byron10301 you're being a piece of shit, he's once of the best singers and you are one of the 487 who says shit about him, but who the fuck cares about people like you, you must be very bored to watch a video about a singer you dont like, and even more if you comment the video "trolling" get a life dipshit.

  • We really are in a wild world.

  • Muslim or not only the song i care its great

  • he is a muslim now

    thank you god

  • Shame he went insane and started worshipping an imaginary desert sky-god!

  • Yes it is a wild world.

  • Esta obre maestra y a mí me toca la época de justin bieber, jonas brothers, selene gómez, los wachiturros... estamos jodidos

  • or why would you even listen to this song? it is sweet, kind, loving, generous and nurturing. Gotcha!

  • war and aggression exist mostly because no one is well for all the polluted water, food that isn't food, preservatives and over processing; brains cannot function correctly and is a subtle disfunction showing up in later generations so older people see it easily unless they are polluted too. If everyone felt well, if their minds worked well, all would always be well in my opinion. I offer this as part solution. But it requires cooperation and agreement. It's love everyone really wants. Love.

  • wow, an artist that becomes legend is one who gets noticed for better or worse, i am so jealous; but i don't look at the trees but the forest, the song is the forest and he its maker, responses are like trees and have nothing to do with the forest. imagine it as an instrumental and listen to the feeling, that's where all the trees meet as one. peace. peace. peace, not bickering.

  • :')

  • Yusuf Islam you're the best !

    Qu'Allah vous accorde le paradis, et vous protège des méfaits de ce bas monde.

  • IT'S CALLED "WILD WORLD" AND IT'S A HIT :)

  • Geeeeez boy.. this song totally applies to me right now..

  • Does anyone know why you tube is now doing 100 vids. I listened to one of them and it had a porn vid mixed in. Our kids watch these!!!!!!!!!!!!!Not to mention the images on some may not be your choosing to see such negativity imposed now through you tube. This web-site has had some major changes over the past few year!!! Wonder who NOW owns it.

  • Why don't you respect the religions and decides of people!?

  • like u yusuf Islam....Islam Is True....Allah Huakhbar
