Henry Lee Summer - 'I Wish I Had A Girl'

[bolens733]

great song brought back good times thanks.

[aVEzPz]

lol at the 480p..

[GJoe1970]

Saw at Emens Auditorium on Ball Sate back in the late 80’s, sure wish we could both turn back the clock!

[deadbird5150]

Awesome Song & Video! I hope to take a road trip from Chicago to Indiana to catch one of your shows this summer! Great Musician!

[Michiganman2cali]

WTH happened to HLS. I mean he could sing with the best of em. He put out this album and then???

[Saulotas]

Who the frak is Leroy?

[jdandsomevids]

My cousin is dating a guy, and his mom is dating him

[MrBizzmarky76]

"ma'am, you claim the man who assaulted

you in the stairway was a retarded feller with a mullet?"

[fervent66]

he sounds like DAVE MCKANETTI of Y&T , in the beginning of the intro.

listen to this song and " SUMMERTIME GIRLS ".

a very close resemblence in their voices.

[TXSBLUEBONNET]

I toured with this guy and He's a great guy-so were the rest of the band AND the crew too. People have demons and deal with them in different ways-so stop being rude.

[GroffinTiffin]

wish i had some drugs that worked like that....

[nightowl8936]

3 people who disliked this video will never get a girl who walks like that!

[Doobie1975]

great song, I actually occasionally hear this song on our FM station.

[beefgravy49509]

Love this song, Wish i had that mullet. lol

[poonallmighty]

is that a homeless ted nugent..fail

[bachtenkrieg12]

This is without a doubt the coolest Rock 'n' Roll song that's ever been written. It defines the very word "cool."

[vinkleman]

At 3:30 he's trying to walk across the street with a hardon.

[Yukisgirl76]

He has always shown alot of energy in his shows. Whenever he came home to Brazil, Indiana he always mention how much support his parents gave him when he wanted to be a rocker.

[navydave5]

One great awesome song. Still as great as the first day I heard it. Kick ass. I will never get tired of hearing it. Thank you Henry Lee Summer for this gift that you have given to the world. Great video too. God bless you brother.

[callen11000]

Use to love to hear you live, in front of those small audiences singing these songs. Such fond memories. Love Cheryl

[markmcso7]

That is one outstanding mullet!



[blizzardxc1]

now he is a dirty meth head hahahhahhah

[englundus]

Henry if you ever read this, PLEASE take care of your drug issues! You will be so much better off in the long run!!!

[AnnaMarieeee1990]

Henry has made a lot of mistakes. Nobody is perfect. He is one of the sweetest men I've ever met. Your character should matter more than the decisions you've made. None of you are perfect and I'm sure if you had paparazzi following you then we could find something to critique you about as well. && for those of you talking about the video, its just a video, its not like he stalks women, c'mon now use your brain please!

[juconnor1]

Was at a party and heard this tune on I-tune shuffle. Hadn't heard since it was released when I was 12 yrs old. Better song than I remember. Very Mellencampesque.

[tws121]

;)

[dhlsucks1]

He has always had high levels of energy during shows, not due to drugs

[dhlsucks1]

That was his real life wife at the time at the end of the video



[GADCLuzerneCounty]

Henry Lee's mugshot can be found online for dealing meth.

[HiawathaMohawk]

The girl at the end is hot, where are the girls that look like that today, I wish I had a girl like that.

[StSimonMartyr]

Mullet power...

[IamHeatherJo]

I always liked this song, but I can't remember ever seeing the video even when it first came out. And, yes, I'm old enough to have seen it first run. How funny! Thanks for posting. :)

[alvis4812]

My mother was actually one of henry's good friends when this video came out. She did a lot of work with him and she said that is such a blast to watch and be with..,..Come on Henry, you can do it again. Don't give up!

[bizzmarky76]

He went down for meth and driving on scrips a few years ago

[hobobobballo]

Back in the day when mullets were measured by the foot!

[unstabledavid]

saw him give a spirited performance of this on letterman i think he was on something but it was damn good... did he get busted for something recently ?

[ottomobiehl]

My god! That's a mighty mullet!

Song rules though.

[eternalchampion0]

That guy in the choir at 3:10 looks just like the late Paul Winfield.I think it is actually him....This song is awesome.I can't believe I just discovered this song a few months...What a great voice this guy has and the video is really good...I wish things had worked out a little better for him though.....

[tazmin54754]

this still makes me smile. can you just enjoy the man and his music and not judge his life. hang in there henry lee. there are those of us that remember and still love you and your music.

[modernway91]

MULLETS FTW!

[russmorse]

He was big on Indiana campuses back in the 80's. The meth addiction came later.

[waowaoize]

ｉ　ｗｉｓｈ　ｉ　ｈａｄ　ａ　ｇｉｒｌ　ｗｗｗｗ

[suckmecok]

I was in junior high when this song came out. I loved it and think it was probably every teenage boys anthem. I saw on the news yesterday that he was recently busted for crack...and yeah, this video is really creapy.

[ThePsychicSasquatch]

Sweet mullet.

[chrisput1024]

Always liked this song, the mullet aside.

[BradleyExpress]

Classic mullet........classic song! Ohhhhhhhhhh, those were the dayz!

[JunkyardKid]

Glory Days

[MsRita1972]

Oh.... I miss hearing this song on the radio!! Used to crank it!!

[PattiAnn1953]

OMG - once again, if I close my eyes, I'm really BACK THERE! And Henry Lee is still on the radio! Love ya, HLS! Hope all's well for you today....

[Bobsully1952]

Thanks to Henry for making this song and Mr. Vagabond for putting this on YT.

[solstice51]

This song was so HOT! And he looked just like all the other guys in the mid-80's. Song rocks just as hard now as it did when I was in my 30's.

[catine09]

if you like this, check out "darlin danielle dont", hey baby, and hands on the radio. you may have forgotten about them until you hear them. he deserved more attention than he got back then. so sad. and by the way, his meth, his business. you'd be surprised how many of your friends and neighbors are doing it too. half the people on here are prob hooked on something, cigs, weed, advil, lol give him a break.

[NocturnalVagabond]

@catine09 : well said :)

[AnnaMarieeee1990]

@catine09 amen! People are so quick to judge others when they have skeletons in their closet too. If I had people following me & taking pics/videos I'm sure there are things that people would see that they didn't like concerning me as well. Nobody is perfect. Your comment is very appreciated.. he's a sweet man who has made mistakes. Nobody regrets them more than him & noone has been affected by them like he has.

[JunkyardKid]

Glory Days

[quipstr99]

Co-worker forgot his HLS tape in the tape deck of one of the company cars. I took that car out on a road trip and played it to death. Great tunes. Yes I did type "

tape deck" Lol Thanks for posting.

[JunkyardKid]

I wish I had Michael Bolton's hair

[MrATLACATL]

shit I still want to hav e a girl...

[JunkyardKid]

Glory Days?

[Augustxxoox]

Love the hair too :D love the ending in the video XD so good :P

[MiaMariaFlyFly]

Love the hair! :D

[vinkleman]

Meth? Bad hair? Too much denim? Who gives a shit......he pulls off one of the all time great rock vocals here.

[silowhore]

@vinkleman not a bad song granted, but "one of the all time great rock vocals".....not a chance

[vinkleman]

@silowhore I think it is and you don't. That's called opinion. Let's call it a push. Fair enough?

[danewson]

I remember visiting Indiana for the summer when this first came out and since he is from Indiana they played the fucking shit out of this song every hour on the hour. Brings back memories of the summer of 88.

[macattack131313]

meth or not,,,this is a good song

[macattack131313]

a forgotten classic

[mhirtes12]

Enjoy your meth, Mister Summer.

[thegab21]

Check it out Leroy, great video!  Haven't seen it in a loooooong ass time!

[Iron4343]

I have an idea...Put a 44 yr old guy on the Real World and watch him tell the walking STD's on that show to get a life.

I've had enough of the me generation!

[Iron4343]

I miss videos...RIP MTV  1980 - 1994.

[bambamh20]

C O O L : )

[JoviAngel60]

I hear that Henry Lee is now off of the meth and doing well! I am so glad b/c he is an extremely talented musician!! Thanks so much for posting this one! It's an awesome one for sure!

[80sMetalChick]

@JoviAngel60 Now we're talking! This was my favorite no doubt! Love it!

[loveisyou18]

This is funny as hell!!

How come I've never heard of Mr. Henry Lee Summer before?! What a shame :(

I'll just have to make up for lost time! :D

[JoviAngel60]

In my opinion Henry Lee was very under rated back in the 80's and that may be why you never heard of him before! I've heard that there were some problems with his management back in the 80's, I grew up in Indiana where he lives also and around here he is just as big of a rockstar as any other 80's artist! I had this album and wore it out playing it so much b/c it ROCKED!! I think he's unique b/c he was able to combine music and humor in such an effective way! Have fun making up for lost time!!

[townes00]

woah!! this dude is the coolest. kick ass song

[smldfw]

yea check it out, Leroy

[danning1]

He was actually having a bit of luck with the lesbian's girlfriend. Maybe she was a John Mellencamp fan and she mistook him for the real article. Who could blame her?

[VxFallenxV]

This song Rules now just as much as it did then....Long live The 80's

[tannedprincess52]

This video is soo funny. LOVED IT THEN and LOVE IT NOW. I miss the 80s.

[pitbullgirl65]

Me too!

[359realpete]

call me old, but there is nothing like 80's rock

[HardRokMiner]

Yur not old brother. U just got good taste.  ;)

[iluvitdou]

well hes has a great voice, an he can always change ,  an i hope he does

[jesusisascam1967]

Can we say white trash.

[almart3069]

Perez me trajo aqui, ni recordaba esta cancion...

[Jimm7675]

wow..meth is bad kids. This video is kinda creepy. he just follows and stalks random woman around. kinda menacing and harrassing to me..whatevs.

[NocturnalVagabond]

"There's a fine line between courting and stalking. A Connecticut judge once spelled it out for me."

- Dennis Finch (JSM)

[nightowl8936]

@Jimm7675

Oh quiet you prude. It hails from the 80s when it was actually OK to hit on women.

It's obvious you're not getting much. Either that or you love the cack.

[Jimm7675]

@nightowl8936

I do love the cack..

[deelberg]

@Jimm7675 ts part of the video you fucking prick

[AnnaMarieeee1990]

@Jimm7675 It's a video that was purposely filmed this way. It's not like he was caught from a hidden camera. Senseless!

[agathadirks]

ft. mullet haha

[moparbeech]

Nice mullet! The 80s were so cool ! I think a lot of us forgot about this guy until now. So it was fun to listen to his big 80s hit again!

[NocturnalVagabond]

Perhaps he should re-record this song as "Wish I Left My Drugs (Back At The Flat)" ?? Ah well, his current predicament doesn't change the fact that this song is still just good fun nostalgia.

[williamgatesenson]

wow i'd probably be doing meth too if this song was my legacy

[scottNcolcty]

i got to this song cause i seen where he was arrested for meth yesterday5-7-09

[NocturnalVagabond]

yeah, I saw one blog about it - damn the pic of him now looks awful. That's what meth does to ya, boys n girls ( /end lecture ... lol)

[TheRegularGuy1]

@NocturnalVagabond ...lol-I'm sure the 26 years of aging since we've seen him last, may have compounded the side effects. I agree though; there are many far reaching and even far more serious ill-effects.

[Ebbiesmom]

I had such a crush on him, when this song and video came out. I miss the 80's.

[kevinkarimi]

you must be a crack head now too!

[Ebbiesmom]

no, I am not a crack head. But, you are a butt head! You must of had the hots for him too, or you wouldn't of been here checking out his video.
