[idiotmuffin]

my dad showed me this band, and i love them!

[TheJanker81]

Regarding my teachers and professors, I was always "a million miles away" during their classes or lectures respectively. But I still, somehow, imprinted the reverb of what they actually wanted to convey upon us.

And this song brings me back to the mindset that, finally, lead me thorugh their classes/lectures, and now reminds me of (every single day I earn mine and other's living) the fact that they were, are, and will be absolutely great!

[hippiekyd416]

I love finding new music <3. Thank you for sharing this.

[jason75]

there great

[LIVEwelldreamBIG22]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!

my dad showed me this and i didnt think i would like it but i love it <3

[onehaistct]

these guys need to re-unite and tour! This kind of music needs wider exposure and I'd be glad to pay big bucks to see them

[adric137]

great band!

[failosophy]

The lead singer sounds like John Lennon! Oh my god!

[STEALL1997]

Who sings the lead to this song?!?

[greg0658]

my 2 Lp album sleeves don't reveal (or jackets ftm) who of John Woloschuk, Dee Long or Terry Draper do what parts in the band .. the internet is a powerful force .. your answer will come

[6radiopaque9]

i think i read somewhere that john was lead vocal, bass, organ. dee was the guitars, backup vocals. and terry was drums, backup vocals. not 100% sure

[LoudDrumGuy]

That is pretty well right for most of the songs....this tune featured live strings....I was lucky enough to be in the studio for a part of the recording of this album.

[andyfedel]

very nice song. nice arrangement. nice instrumental mix.

[WhiskyXLiberty]

This video is really cool and a good song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Me and my dad are having fun and geting drunk on water.

[stephenzky]

thanks for posting this track. Klaatu is VERY underappreciated, in my opinion. Great band! The TimCat knows!

[dakblk]

Sooooooo Agree!!

Never Heard This One b4 \o/

Cheers o/*

Great Post.. Thanx : )

[mraa71]

They kind of bridge the gap between the Beatles and ELO.

[pisces2222]

@mraa71

Oh I totally hear the ELO haha

[panqueloko]

q onda yo soy de mexico y me gusta muxo este grupo busco mas amigos de maxico para charlar hehe sheila

[burnabybrent]

Anyone have 'knee deep in love', online, or know where to find it? It's one of my favorite Klaatu songs.

[gwddd]

Knee Deep In Love was just posted to YouTube yesterday. I guess there's an indie label reissuing Klaatu

[deeppickle]

Thanks for putting up some Klaatu rock! I only have 1 LP, so it's nice to hear some new-to-me tunes :)

[johnboon]

This is Allright, I think the vocal is Very beatlesc. Thats not putting them down thats just saying what it sounds like.

[jagandme]

Hey Muchacho's: A great band is a great band no matter how you slice it. Even the Beatles have their influences including the Isley Brothers and Chuck Berry. To me Klaatu has very much their own sound and deserve recognition for their many albums and longevity. 30 years after their music hit the market, we are still listening and appreciating it. ( Health, Prosperity and Happiness )

[kongrikard]

In my opinion, Klaatu were way better than the Beatles. They didn't capitalize on any hype.

[Solaropal]

Fuck the Beatles. They were great, no doubt about it, but Klaatu was a great unique and talented band with a range of influences from Sweet, T-Rex, Bowie, and a lot of other groups. Those who got turned on to them got to enjoy some great music, those who didn't missed out.

[tbone5665]

Never say fuck the Beatles. Klaatu merely capitalized on the Beatle hype. However I too did enjoy the fantasy.

[spaci33]

Lighthouse-keeper/hope? perchance?

[philipcarol]

New conspiracy theory: You know how drastically the Beatles style changed before and after "Rubber Soul". Well, my theory is that they heard Klaatu, an unknown garage band at the time, and liked the sound so much that they copied it as their own!! Of course people thought Klaatu ripped the Beatles off when in reality it was the other way around. Lennon admitted he copied guitar riffs, chords, phrases and stuff when writing some of his songs. Klaatu should get some royalties from the fab four!!

[spaci33]

I've LOVED this band since the Eight grade '81 when i first heard them. Beatles...sure they sound like the Beatles. I'f it were a crime,MANY bands would be on the chopping block! Maybe gen is upset they do it so well? I sure wish i could find "Around the Universe in 80 Days"

[Zzzenmo]

Another underrated group, definitely one of my favorites! It's a shame they got tagged as Beatle-ish...in many ways, they were ahead of their time, to be sure!

[generic53]

"ORIGINAL??" Klaatu was a TOTAL Beatles ripoff. Don't you wonder how a CANADIAN band has ENGLISH accents??

[supernaturalgurl4]

I don't think you really have a clue of what you are talking about. Have you been listening to any of todays groups and hear the repetition?? Sure they may have some quality of the Beatles, but then again who doesn't copy some style or another. I believe that Klaatu still had their own unique sound. Go back and have a good listen and open up your mind.

[Triangularthree]

Klaatu had one of the most original sounds ever,I think,but I must say that in the Beatles absence,Klaatu fit in there just right.........I still play their music today.Love the first album the most..........

[vivivan44]

Yes, everyone did think they were the Beatles reunited. I think that they have their own unique style. Being married to the leader of the group back in the 70's, it was alot of fun in the studio listening to them record. Also going to visit my husband John in California at the Capitol Records studios to do their "Endangered Species" album.

[generic53]

"Unique style??" You HAVE to be JOKING! COMPLETE Beatles ripoff!

[Vyl4n]

@generic53 the beatles suck

[generic53]

"Unique style??" You HAVE to be JOKING! COMPLETE Beatles ripoff!

[WASPProductions]

SWeet SONg Nits

[1aenthrallya]

Good song. A lot of people actualy thought that they were the Beatles even though they sound nothing like them to me. They do sound a little like the stuff McCartney was doing in the seventies though.

[afodis]

Finally some one can hear that Klaatu don't sound like the Beatles. I think people hear them as Beatles because they got run over by the Klaatu/Beatles hype. But Klaatu is a great band I must say.

[generic53]

You must be DEAF! TOTAL Beatles ripoff band!

[vivivan44]

Dear generic53, have you heard of a group called The Dream Academy? Their song "Life in a Northern Town" in particular. Have a listen to see who they sound like to you. Then let me know.

[Zzzenmo]

Yes, you do keep saying that...you sound like a broken record, skipping to that tired, worn out groove over and over and over and over and over... Tell you what, go listen to California Jam, True Life Hero, Anus of Uranus, and the Sir Army Suit album and tell me that sounds like the Beatles. FYI, when Klaatu debuted, the Beatles had already called it quits...AND you don't see anyone saying that any 1 of a 1000 bands were a ripoff of The Yardbirds, do you? It's called INFLUENCE! Look it up!

[Zzzenmo]

I'd even bet, that it was because of one-thought boobs like yourself, perpetuating that stupid belief that prevented Klaatu from getting any airplay on the radio stations!! God knows, the airwaves would have been a much more enjoyable place without the likes of Meatwood Flack, Survivor, Spruce Dingsteen and all that other musical pablum dished out to the masses in the late 70s to early 80s!! It's not easy being a visionary...you go Viv! They were fantastic!

[SteelyD]

Lol, well put. Never saw the appeal of "Dingsteen" and the other 3 chord wonders of the day. Klaatu dared to imagine. I can hear the Beatles influence, but they were that and much more. And they did it without George Martin!

[generic53]

Then you don't know the Beatles music! Klaatu was a TOTAL ripoff band of the Beatles!
