10cc Donna

[Trop232]

One of the great bands of the 1970s. Their lyrics were so smart, they knew how to bake a tune, and with The Dean an I they showed a Roy Orbison touch with their impressive song construction. Very clever bunch of lads.

[lumyingluo]

the guy really can hits high note :)

[wizzywozza]

Went with my best school mate and saw them twice in the early 70's, front row both times, met them after each gig too ........ somehow bludged our way into their dressing room at Hove Town Hall in West Sussex ...... my first ever live band!

[blackandtanful]

ｸﾞｰﾙﾄﾞﾏﾝ､ｽﾁｭﾜｰﾄ､ｸﾚｰﾑ､ｺﾞﾄﾞﾚｲ･･･­DONNA････ｵｰ･ﾀﾞｰﾘﾝ!････ｱｲﾑ･ﾉｯﾄ･­ｲﾝ･ﾗヴ前のこの遊び時期が好きだった10cc

[Asianbeard]

I'm confused as to what they actually play. They all seem to play something different alll the time.

[JustOneMeatPuppet]

0:22 Keanu Reeves?!

[cjellwood]

They look like the cast of Top Gear in an alternate universe

[murderousbastard83]

What a blatant rip-off of "Oh Darling" by the Beatles. But just shitty instead.

[tomski120]

lovin the huge stage! lol awesome group :)

[SEVFEST]

The audience just don't get the Frank Zappa thing LOL whoever they were into just wasn't 10cc. I would have given my left nostril to see these guys (I had tickets to see them twice in the 70s but as luck would have it they Canceled BOTH times) one being in Central Park NY and they were replaced with Mountain. the other time I just can't remember the circumstances (Old timers desease I suppose) LOL.

[melm4402]

OMG LMFAO The man singing the first verse. WOW...I have never heard this until now and obviously I wasn't missing much....

[7stevieboy]

this one's for you Kebab..hopes ya gets to see it xxx

[7stevieboy]

who'd have thought the Hamster from Top gear had such a famous dad as Lol..hehe

halcyon school days of the 70's..I saute you lurv it

[azalea66]

Where the f£ck do the get the audience/extras

[tentengirl123]

did he like pinch his nipples at 1:29 ?O.o

[tentengirl123]

He did such a good job of not laughing when he was singing Donna's part

[creektrouble]

My name is Donna.....don't ever remember hearing this.

I like it! Thanks for putting it up! ~ Donna

[HeathenLoveGod]

The main singer's name is Lol Creme. He might want to rethink that in the age of text messages.

[lakeakero]

Apparently, this song is about a seamstress called Donna who made Lol a pair of very, very tight trousers.

[daffydave100]

my name is Donna, i used to hate this. love it XXXXXXXXX

[TumblingDice1972]

god and creme ,yeah

[Framptonfixation]

Phwooar, Lol is absolutely gorgeous!!

[SuperNapalm666]

@Framptonfixation too right hes a babe!

[1mkboyd]

Not one of their better hits, and most of them were very good. Too early 60's Doo Whopp for my taste.

[FlammySpritz]

I love Lol Creme's falsetto ♥

[kiloelo]

the dude singing looks like the guy from pineapple express

[johlufc]

BBC is all dubbed anyway,yae bunch ae daft cunts!

[Jaimzzz]

does this man have throat cancer??

[trickchack]

@Jaimzzz no

[EvasAngel]

Wow.. the more I look the more Lol looks like a Mayan God!!! They all sing like gods!

[begleyhaylock]

I don't think the audience quite knew what to make of the performance.

[EvasAngel]

Yah, the audiance look like they are misplaced onto a different planet!! How can anyone be that cold and passive sitting in front of one of the worlds best band??

[kiloelo]

dude this song is fuckin sweet if you smoke like 3 joints and turn it up and drown your bitchy gf out

[rezap33]

classic.....great memories from 1972....

a cheese roll was 5pence in the canteen!!!!

[anitashelby]

[blondiebabs]

[Sleepinglikesheep]

[martinevans123]

irony and parody hard to come by in the 1972 charts

a real breath of early 60s air at the time

or was it helium

[RUBY17ification]

Love the beatles But sorry this does nowt 4 me.....but then i am listening to chasing cars.over & over again, like i did at14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[arclite95]

[achimschultz2008]

Nicht zu glauben

Peace

Achim

[Asperomo]

Definitly the worst song they ever made. Still love the band though

[donnam64]

I just imagine hes singing to me:)

[FrederickThunder]

This is the best song in the world.

[arclite95]

try oh darling

[GriefTourist]

this song is tongue in cheek surely

[daregularperson]

Don't call me Shirley. But I agree.

[coltonblight]

how's michael?

[daregularperson]

I missed the reference.

[TorqueSmacky13]

i love this song! XD

[glitterchic73]

Lol`s eye`s and his smile always make`s me go weak at the knee`s...LOVE HIM !!!

[therealmoshmonkey]

Hehehe me too!!

[genalof]

GREAT SONG, GREAT BAND.

HEY What's up with the picture?,

Im not Youtubesavvy yet, theres that little red box.....

[claireannie]

What's up with the picture?

[DaveP72006]

I think thats the higher quality setting that you tube use,I put it on in the normal width so I dunno! great little band though eh

[charmingasalways]

Dave I love this band. The song is funny, because Lol had to adjust his underwear to hit those falsetto notes, but they're funny. I liked "Sheet Music" the best.

[kalembaby]

My name is Donna and I only knew of 2 Donna songs, Richie Vallens and El Debarge..Never heard this one before...I love it!!! Very 70's though!

[zinfandel66]

?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>>>>>>>>

[rogert84]

zinfandel66:

U are wrong

[bongobeef]

i think the crowd maybe were european, possibly of german origin.....i have seen these unappreciated looks before on german tv shows...

[8umpti]

Oh my...I think I've seen the singer on the far right...but @ that time he was the poster child for the Helium Society!! Just kidding...I've never even heard of this band...thanks for posting it though.

[christel1964]

8umpti, you're making me laugh, have you checked out the beegees/more than a woman, they were a member of the Helium Society too, nevertheless, I like both songs very much!!!

[8umpti]

No I haven't, but will now...thanks christel1964.

[rogert84]

8umpti :

Did u know that taking two inhaling of Helium before breathing will kill u?

I guess not. Just a warning. Dont play with that stuff...

[8umpti]

I have...it didn't!! By the way, roger84, lighten up!! No pun intended!!!

[rogert84]

I remeber this. Way beyond their time.

I love this perf

[bellpawt]

Pigs thrown strawberries !

[salmurph]

Can't believe how miserable the audience look - I'd have given anything to have seen the original 10cc guys live!

[Mariekesone]

@salmurph I remember going to one of those television shows in the seventies...Yes, boring looking, but there were rules and we were told when to clap, even rehearsed it...This is not actually a Concert!

I agree it looks miserable.... a parody on Doo Wop songs "Donna" with an audience who stand and watch as if they are at a funeral...:-)

[DaveP72006]

yes very 70's dresscode,so much better than the glam style and the other colourful offerings of the decade,imagine them dressed as Slade or the Sweet! they would never had made it! They are a bit like Purple here.

[odintech]

Not much elbow room on that stage...! Never seen this clip before, thanks.

[Myidolswere10cc]

Great to watch this! Esp to see Eric and Lol having fun here. And its also striking with the typically dresscode from the seventies - denim and lots of chains. Almost Deep Purple!
