Chicory Tip 1972 - Son of my Father

[SnappyPenguins]

I used to love this as a child. What the hell was wrong with me? ;)

[Dicky2219]

Try getting an Englishman to do the words over, it would have worked better., Nice try though.

[Dicky2219]

'Be just like your dabbling father when it seems tradition !!! pmsl

[tonin1969]

ISSO QUE E MUSICA DE ALTA QUALIDADE, NA EPOCA EU ERA CRIANÇA E AS NOVELAS EM DESTAQUE ERAM A SELVA DE PEDRA E CAVALO DE AÇO. ESSA MUSICA TOCAVA TODOS OS DIAS NA RADIO ATALAIA DE BH.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

I can't believe this was 1972. Those synth hooks are soooooo ahead of their time!!!

[englishmaninnippon]

Wow! I used to have this! I remember buying a weekly pop magazine at the time & this record was free inside. What was interesting was that the 45rpm single inside was a paper thin piece of bendable plastic which was decent audio quality considered.

Wish I had it now as I'm sure it'd be worth a bit!

By the way, G.Moroder on the credits is the guy who was instrumental (pardon the pun) in Donna Summer's early career playing synthesiser on 'I Feel Love'.

[ajbnz50]

Seem so long ago.. maybe it was, but is still good

[MrTamiya89]

can someone please help me to find the midi version for this song?, with thanks Patrick

[SuperTabarron]

DEDICADA A MI AMIGO JOSÉ "EL GUERRA", ES MUY BONITA ESTA CANCIÓN Y DIGNA DEL RECUERDO.-

[TheClimaxity]

I'm 15 and can't get enough of this song... Is that normal?

The keyboard at the start making those dooo dood oood odood that melody is just unbeatable!

[stellybabe]

@TheClimaxity If you like it , then it is good music. :)

[0091paddy]

@TheClimaxity It's fine! I'm a bit older than you, but as a young lad I used to listen to my dad's ''Island Music'' cassette on my walkman, and this was one the tracks on it. Timeless!

[TheClimaxity]

@0091paddy Yeah, this music is unbeatable. It's amazing if i'm being honest, the weird thing is that i'm into all the new modern music (Not Mainstream), I can't get enough of all the old songs including this one... I also can't get enough of the band "Sweet" :)

[patrick9648]

Whats great about this is that many of those old ancient keyboard would only play one or two notes at a time, which made it impossible to play complete chords without either using multiple machines or overdubbing. that being said, these old sounds are still cool and sound better than some of todays modern sythisizers.

[Enevan1968]

@patrick9648 :Yeah, I want one!

[eleanor390]

AVRO was an aviation company originally A.V. Roe Co.

[meineyes]

Why are they all wearing AVRO'S shirts? What is AVRO's?

[NjalTube]

@meineyes They wear Avro's TopPop shirts. TopPop was a popular music show in the Netherlands during the seventies and eighties. It was broadcast by the Avro.

[SuperTabarron]

felizmente recuerdo la discoteca de mi pueblo, con este temazo. Yo tenia diecinueve años.

[TheJavierm7]

Cuando Moroder formaba parte de Chicory Tip, ya se notaba la influencia del sintetizador. El hijo de mi padre

[rickdestroy]

[pianoman74]

Hey! If any AUSTRIAN should ever read my comment, I'm sure he will confirm that it's the bass line of THIS piece the Austrian radio (ORF) used for the traffic news many, many years ago. That MUST be that.

[broken530able]

comanded i was branded in a plastic vac . wernt we all

[eltonator]

Is that Weston Super Mare?

[krakenwave]

1,15 Shitty translation - its "Plastic bag"

[TJB63]

@krakenwave - Actually I think it's suppose to be Plastic Wrap

[krakenwave]

@TJB63

How could he be "in a plastic wrap"? He pronounces it bahg but I reckon bag it is.

Lots of other niggling little translation issues throughout the song but wtf

[Lisnageeragh]

Was this the first Moog synthesizer pop?

[VinylHell]

The Pride of Maidstone!

[10ianpanda]

this song was the gateway to the new romantics of the late70,s and 80,s...love it

[paulthepill]

yeah i knew the singer before this....prick, and i still know him and he's still a prick.

[TaxiRED]

@paulthepill i think the prick is you for bringing it up.. me'thinks you're a very bitter prick

[paulthepill]

@TaxiRED thankyou....and a proposterous new year to all my fans.

[DominMKS]

Retro piano - awesome!!! :)

[DominMKS]

Funny dancing on the begining. :)

[HarrymegamanDJ]

This never gets old. But most of the lyrics don´t match what they actually say. It´s slightly annoying.

[lmichaelpersson]

This is still Owaow :)

[lmichaelpersson]

This is still Owaow :)

[kellyadvent]

remember the Bside  of this. "pride comes before the fall" got more plays from my dad than the A side he says..

[mjbmedia]

are you sure all these lyrics are correct?

Either there are mistypes or the guy has a serious speech impediment on some words ie 2:10 - 2:20 , 1:05- 1:10 preformpacked are you sure? he doesnt sound like he says that. it doesnt matter just interesting.

Love the song, always have

[inar92]

Esto es musica, y estos son los musicos que la componen, feten

[inar92]

los mejores de su epoca

[theseus27]

I love the instrumental beginning piece of this great song of the past.

It puts most of todays songs to shame!! :))

[Enerjee]

This was the first hit using a synthesister and was produced by Georgio Moroder. Moroder also did the theme music to "Midnight Express" and "Call Me" by Blondie. He also produced a lot of Donna Summer's early hits.

[Enerjee]

The second record I ever bought at the age of 9.

[martinbizarro]

Ohhh Rodney Rodney!

[schribbbber]

Another fawcking 70s classic , That could knock the spots of any Simon cowell mass produced modern crap ...

Stylaphone an all

[ThePeeterd]

giorgio moroder isn,t it . nice memory and a start of his big career.

[VivaDivaVillas]

The keyboard part (1:22 - 1:50) was used as opening jingle for a popular Polish sports TV programme in the 70s and 80s.

[AppleTreeification]

MY UNCLE IS IN THIS!!!!

[bondbug73]

The 1971 Minimoog, this and the ARP Odyssey dominated the early to mid seventies synth market.

[rogershearman]

OOh 14 when this was released !!!!!!

[tanika159]

great song

[speightsgirl]

still love it

[julisu1411]

what a classic

[milolovesmusic]

would be nice in synch

[zedster911]

this heap of crap got me into electronic music and synthesizers.... and how many thousands of pounds have i spent on instrumenst etc?? LOL

[hairom28]

I have excellent memories of cruising in the car to this song with one of my best friends and her grandma.

[phillyflu]

Giorgio Moroder is the father of all the hits for Chicory tip.

[IWantLandingSnow]

I'm 16, and i love this music :D

[weaverspell]

This Track is garbage......room 101 with the lot of them!

[pawel115]

Hey this was on Polish Sport TV in the 70 till 80

[DJDonMarc]

FANTASTIC SYNTHESIZER!!!!!!!

[jomoche]

Das ist der richtige Klang selbst gespielt ohne Mix electronik oder so was sollte für die neuen groupe sei es rock hard rock softy oder was anderes nach ahmen!

[MrMercury1959]

another classic from the 70's love the keyboard

[RasOrville]

its not just a keyboard its an extreemley rare Moog MuSonics minimoog analog synthesizer produced for a short while in 1972. Brilliant bits of kit if anyone wants to find and buy me one i'd be really happy!!!

[SFtruckerWolf]

I think it was also played in Finish TV in start of one program, years and years.

[Krulique]

Just wondering, did Polish TV ever paid a single dime to Chicory Tip for using their song...

[KrzychoQ]

heh, I don't think so... ;]

[orangebuttercat007]

this was No 1 in the charts the day i was born - 20th Feb 1972!!!!!

[bubufender]

Lembra ?

É da nossa época ! Bubu

[katoness]

Love it , but they must be taking the piss!

[fourwheeledlady]

Fantastic.....I loved this when it was released....and still do. Has anyone else noticed that the written words don't match the sung words at about 0.46!!!!

[smithmarke]

Beefheart also filmed on the beach, Cannes I think.

[tgipaul]

The words are so true - jeez, it all seemed so 'nice' then...

[hancar]

I'm born in 1959 and this song takes me back down memory lane! It feels like yesterday when I was in my room, playing this song on my cassette recorder, 13 years old! Those were the days!

[manman1581]

hahaha use 2 listen to this all the time when i was a kid 1st time i seen the vid, shot persuscap for posting! LUV IT!

[Zalpater]

Before my time, but important in that it was the first pop song to make No. 1 in the charts that featured a synthesizer prominently in the song.

[retsiembrU]

sounds better than

the Son of my Steph brother

[2468oldschooltimes]

love the song..thanks pecu for providing with lyrics

[MunichCars]

I'm born '94 but if heard it so often. tanks to my dad XD

[RussTube59]

[UBIQUEROL]

Fuck me,

[sniffypigster]

Aah, the classic Mini Moog.

[tonijn1969]

[jnmklo9]

I'd have to reply with..............

YOU'LL GET A BOOT WRAPPED ROUND YOUR HEAD....A BOOT WRAPPED ROUND YOUR HEAD !

Or....

YOU'RE GOING HOME IN A ST.JOHN'S AMBULANCE !

.....and so on and so forth ! !!

[chg657]

I think almost EVERYONE in the Western world 45-55 knows this one by heart...It wasn't quite as big in Chattanooga as other places, though, but we still knew it...

[duncanrs]

loved it then ,,,,,,,,love it now

[theseus27]

@duncanrs Me too mate!! I got this on a compilation vinyl record titled Top of the Pops,and is still in fairly good condition today.

[slider876]

glamtastic

[mebundy1]

First single I bought. Must have liked it then!  Used to belt it out really loud on my Dad's "Marconiphone" Stereo.

[rowhide]

Yo tenia 11 años y le roble el sencillo a mi primo jajajaja. Todavia lo tengo y sin remordimientos je.

[JayseeKid]

hi upimongo is your first name john, as i had a school friend who bought this as his first ever single

[julisu1411]

great song i won a plastic version back in the 70's from nme when we had the blackouts - good memories

[leoseries]

A great recording for showing off a new stereo system.

[tim74660]

What a load of crap.

Just think. In 1972 genesis recorded Foxtrot....at least that kept me sane.

[LiverBird04]

Karaoke My Arse!! why are the lead vocals left on?? more like a sing along

[Konar76]

[katwanc]

What a brilliant song, can listen to it anytime. Thanks for posting, your brilliant....

[niknaknik100]

Love this song... thankyou

[newwavepopman]

This song was what to be the beginning stages of what was to become known as New Wave music and later known as Synthpop.Chicory Tip were the first 70's group to use synthesizers in the early 70s.

[hartleytransform]

Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Kluster and about half of the rest of the German kraut-rock scene were using synthesizers before Chicory Tip ever released this.

[EverElizabeth]

Great sound......thanks for the share Gary !!!

[blondiebabs]

WOE!!!!! wow i m ean what a beat this song  has it briongs back

[garyco762]

Incredible song from the 70s era...great sound,..and the lyrics are superb. 5 stars!

[ludo281160]

Chicory were singing back in 1972 about : Yes I am a son of my father. Very classical and then I was never listening and thinking about the very difficult lyrics....I was not bothering anyway, I was so proud about this new style of music, and it was! Thank you pecuscap : Great and amazing!

[allindian1]

To think they had music of this kind in those primitive days! hats off to chicory whereever he is

[Sinuous00]

Boy does this make me miss my youth...

[hnorky]

Huge No 1 song in South Africa when I was little. It's a staple tune and can still be heard played in pubs, parties and other venues. A truly timeless pop classic.

[StanPomeray]

All together now...."Sooooon of the my fatheeeeer....moolin' I was foolin' I was free from drafts....."

What....you mean thats NOT the lyrics???

[senorverde09]

Not even close to Moroder's lyrics but who cares. Most of his of his songs you can't even make out what he's saying.

[jsc1215]

This song was of historic importance. Chicory Tip's version was the first electronica #1 hit anywhere in the world; it also established Giorgio Moroder as an internationally acclaimed songwriter. Giorgio's version would chart in the USA, peaking at #46 in summer 1972.

[maygerj]

thats my grandad on the guitar lol

(and im not even joking)

[caxfingers]

Thats cool.

[mikeellis63]

It is, as previously stated, cool. Nay, very cool.

[kukubau]

KISS her from me !!!....

Sensational music !!!

[TotalDesignZ]

That's fucking cool :)

[Meadoway40]

@maygerj How is your Grandad?, is he still playing guitar?, Love that synth.

[jinjanjane]

Fantasic memory! thanx for posting this!

[crushertim1]

The actual lyrics and those you hear are not the same, Peter Hewson had to listen to the original and do the best job he could, not easy if you listen to the Giorgio Moroder version!

[TsarineKarat]

mon frère est le fils de mon père !!!

[jmack1745]

Tried to get me in but I jumped out of my skin in time

Also scrutinized and read the alibi signs

So I left my home I'm really on my own at last

Left the wrong path and separated from the past

[jmack1745]

Mama said to me we gotta have your life run right

Off you got to school where you can learn the rules there right

Be just like your dabbling father when it seems tradition

Never go astray and stay an honest lovin' son

Son of my father

Moulded, I was folded, I was free from draft

Son of my father

Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac'

Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts

[big61john]

Correction: " off you go to school where can learn the rules they write "

Great Song ! Regards, John

[seashadow3]

[Runetatti]

ai että kun joku laittais tänne youtubeen sen suomenkieleisen version, sen dannyn live-versio ei oo paras..

[StanPomeray]

Aha..so THATs what the lyrics were. I always assumed it was: "son of my father....moolin' I was foolin' I was free from drafts" :D

Well thats what it bloody SOUNDS like!
