This song always reminds me of my first holliday by airplane with my younger sister and Mum and Dad. Indeed, we looked forward to that trip. The little family in airplane for the first time! I guess, it must have been in 1968 - I was 16 years. It was played the whole holiday at the hotel. Today I'm close to 60. Good, good memories.
And all those younger dudes/chaps that laugh because they are too cool , secretly go off somewhere to listen to this good old ditty.. all by their lonesome...when nobody's around ..LOL
wow.. i grew up listening to this song in the early 2000s. My dad would play songs like these when we went on road trips. I just realized now how wonderful they are. man....
I am so sad that nowadays some singers don´t care to have something to tell in their songs, this beatiful song tell us about a person that was in prison and the way to know if she still loves him after 3 years is that the old oak tree must have a tied yellow ribbon, what a surprise he found 100 ribbons in the tree! It makes me wanna cry!
Synchronization is off ............ please make the lyrics match the mouth pronunciation.. PLEASE FIX. Good video, wonderful song. Unmatched memories from the summer it came out.
@cuddleyduddley i dont know if you check ur messages much but yesterday i heard tony sing this song at the 150th medal of honor comemoration and it still sounds just as amazing i a 22 and i am a wounded veteran from the global war on terror
Got to see Tony O. and Dawn at Disneyland back just when "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" came out but before it was the mega-hit it became . Early seventies I think . What an icon "Yellow Ribbon" became . Many people don there ribbons on the back of their S.U.V.s and cars and dont evan realize that it came from this musical group .
This song hit the charts right at the same time the US signed the 1973 Paris peace accord effectively ending the war in Vietnam. POWs were being released and returning home. This song hit home for so many military families.

7 June 2011: This is one of my all time favorite songs from my decade that I grew up in, the seventies in Colorado. I have listen to a few You-Tube version by Tony & Dawn. This is the original and best version, but sadly his lips is not in sync with the music. Also the video is not as clear as some other versions. nkd

Great song but very crappy synchronization - like a bad 1970's kung fu movie. The dork who put this thing together did not edit. Pray he is castrated so as not to reproduce his deficient gene-pool.
The song is about a prison...this song is where the idea of using a yellow ribbon to support the troops came from. It signified a welcome-home message, which later turned into a welcome-home for the troops.
This song's about a prisoner coming home, chaps. A classic, the history of the song confirms this. But I think the line 'I'm really still in prison...' kind of gave the game away. Neat upload, sir.
@KidRockEatsSmegma haha! Not quite..It's a reference to an Irish film called 'The Snapper'....this song features in it....you would like it....maybe.... :P
i love these kinds of 60s songs but just that my classmates listen to those Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift and they even critised me listening these kind of rubbish... i felt kinda frustrated when I listen songs like these in school.
Its just that you don't get the "type" and the "style" of oldies, to be honest with you, i'm just 13 years old and yet my classmates in school listen to Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. personally, i prefer rather listen to this than "Back to December" from Taylor Swift
