[thawthepast]

I found this record when I was a kid...and I thought I was soul lucky!!!!

[bubbaboud]

[2ajjames]

Some of the craziest lyrics of all time!!!!

[Aldebaron9]

leg

[colonnaable]

check the intro

My dear friends you are about to receive Corn liquor ,nicotene and the temptations of Eve.

[mrevilcreature]

ty morrow

[m3liee13]

goddamn i miss this song. I lost all my music files along with this and it's so good to hear it again

[beanoman0123]

I called a local radio station in 1967 requesting this song... they told me "Sorry, this is a bad influence on our kids"... WTF? Let it ALL Hang Out!!

[LWPunt]

It's so damn fucking relaxed; i like it!<3

[mrwarmth100]

@LWPunt what wood they think of todays rappers and such they stand there and play with their dick while they spew that shit out oftheir f[lthy mouths

[ebolacereal]

@bowles nostalgia.. wish shit was like that these days

[pvfd1702]

Somebody please tell me what the song was on the opposite side of the 45 record that this single was on. I think it was " Give Me Some" but I can't find it anywhere.

[white69rabbitt]

Great music for  a by gone era.

[babzc]

pretty clever video ...<not easy to please.

[cowgirlmoon]

Oh wow! Hadn't heard this, in years...... nice video...... well done!

Richie, Thanks for all the fun!

[wkat950]

Is that old man in the first frame Neal Boortz of radio fame lol?

[mrplatow]

Covered in the UK by Jonathan King - Top 30 hit in late '69

[sparthem]

great blast from the past.

[StunnaShades09]

RAW

[TheJosieBomb]

i grew up with this tune in the 60's great tune

[cooltooth112]

I'm from Memphis and have met Mr. Cunningham a couple times at the local bars, IMO he wrote one song that had the quality of Bob Dylan. I guess this all he had in him.

[cooltooth112]

"Brain my Numb" LOL

[cooltooth112]

Yea, these were Eastern Arkansas and Memphis boys

[clcs13]

hangin out gettin high jammin

[aliennationmicrodot]

Great background pics. They match the music perfectly!

[blackrocker1]

My friend had a tape of this back around '85. The music is still cool!

[fluffydanny]

Hombre,we just hanging out, with Rodney Dangerfield. Hey, I used to hang out at the bus station,on street and in the mall. You know,"just hanging out."

[fluffydanny]

Hombre,we just hanging out.

[LindaLuigi]

Haaa Haaa.... LOVIN THIS!!!!!!!!!! THE SEVENTIES! THIS WAS THE BEST PART.....

DON'T STOP NOW~~~~LET IT ALL HANG OUT~~~~

[ModGirl1967]

The best send-up of Dylan I've ever heard.

[lmt61251]

This song is the highest achievement of '60s "Head" culture. George Baker and Small Faces came close with "Little Green Bag" and "Itchycoo Park", but this is the greatest of them all. Eat your heart out, King Crimson!

[bittercoffee2]

This song is one of the reasons I bought the Elizabethtown soundtrack. I freakin love it!!!!

[lovemylittlelie]

I preach my dear friends you are about to receive on John Barley

Corn, nicotine and the temptations of Eve. 

[cooltooth112]

@lovemylittlelie A preachment

[bedrmeyes5]

@HereAtTheDudeRanch

Hey brother. I didnt play on the recording of the song but I did have the chance to work with the band for a short time here in Memphis. I still see the writer, BB Cunningham Jr every so often when he's not out on the road with Jerry Lee.

[cltpython]

just heard this on wxrt flashback('67) this morn. what times!! we wont have livin like we did then anytime soon!

[radiohasfailedusall]

@cltpython heard this for the first time on xrt2 glad i did

[8woldy8]

Unique song. A real snapshot of 60's zeitgeist.

[27andkickinit]

I just love how he just say the words like its nothing lol my dad is a vietnam vet he said he use to get high to this and jefferson airplane lol its not a traditional song thats what make it sooo good the counter culture has some good music

[clcs13]

tuff stuff here man let it all hang out

[Chitown2701]

I had this on a 45, I think it was on the Verve label.

[cousiwa09]

let it all hang out peoples!!!!

[rockking05]

whenever i hear this song i think of the beatniks who lived the 50`s breaking all the norm there was at the time.

[rogersstevenr]

Awesome...LOL...I forgot all about this song. great video to go with it, too.

[texaspete66]

Can I get this on CD anywhere ?

[andrea0599]

Awesome song, thanks!!

[MANDYSAPP63]

my name is mandy masters and my dad helped write and plays bass on this song. he has also written a book about his career in music. HANGING FROM A TREE BY MY KNEES BY JERRY MASTERS

check it out at AMAZON.COM

[VisionNouvellePhoto]

The chords sound familiar. Remember "Gloria" ?!

[sunshinepopster]

great little video. thanks!

[hillbillyvol]

I totally forgot about this one till I had a reason to quote it! Nice video.

[lindylou381]

whaaahoooo I luv this song.

[rokshok183]

great tune... later ripped off for early nineties London hip hop track.

Definition of Sound - Wear your love like Heaven

[BettyNewsinger]

yes. betty

[hrdknox2000]

I used to love this song as a kid, getting it second hand on the oldies station. What's this song about, anyway?

[evensout]

geez this song is even worse than i remember....but it sure did tick people off.

[gene1dcps]

You want to read about the real life of a music master? Jerry L. Masters has a new book out by the title: "Hanging From A Tree By My Knees." You can purchase it on amazon. com. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Jerry Let It All Hang Out in this book. jb

[PHAEDRIDER]

skid roper sold me this 45 in 1994.. great tune

[greatvoicewebsite]

i was looking for that song for about 21 years..finally i get it

[headphone355]

I have a re-issue of the classic 45. It reached #6 on the Aussie charts and its lyrics sound a little suggestive!

[hodadsmusic]

#12 in the US, 8/67.

[lmt61251]

Frank Ifield couldn't say it better.

[mayoroftrumptonshire]

is there a better record than this?? i think not.. is there a nicer guy than b b cunningham?? not in my experience.

[w9x7cv3vg6]

ahhhh you peeps are all newbies...I had this on 45 rpm back in 67 hee hee

[muzac4themasses]

love this song. I heard it when a radio station i was listening to were playing flashbakc songs of 67. I would have bet my next paycheck this was Ray Stevens!

Love it. Thnx 4 posting. Great little toe tapper- hand clapper.

[maynardgkrebsiii]

I thought the Hokey Pokey was what it's all about.

[pernicketty]

@maynardgkrebsiii I suppose you've heard the joke about the trouble they had trying to bury the guy who wrote the Hokey Pokey...they put his right foot in , he put his left foot out...

[etbella3]

@maynardgkrebsiii The well-hung guys have a hard time doing all that jumpin' around. This country's most precious resource -- the well-hung.

[gemini16th]

I first head this on a "Summer Of Love" 1967 music collection issue by Rhinno records- and thought it was the funniest (and silliest) thing I ever heard!

[ekimkamidar377]

keep an open mind yeah

[50Emerald]

Word has it that the Hombres were trying in this song to do a take-off on Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues." This song is a *riot* from August, 1967...

[CowboyLibrarian]

If there's something strange in your neighborhood,

Who ya gonna call?

Let it all hang out???

Doesn't the guitar sound strangly like the Ghostbusters Theme?

[ed085]

@CowboyLibrarian ...that sounds new.. :-) me and my band play a cover of this song and we realized it's Gloria by van morrison :D

[damslam]

yaya! looking 4 this song thanks!

[PAULLONDEN]

│☻

[kanniballken]

what the heck.listen to message.i think i took it heart a long time ago'live on

[drumier]

some of these guy's were in ronnie and the daytona's .

i loved this tune, 67 i think.

[locobuick]

The Hombres spent one weekend with famous Scottish psychiatrist Dr. Charles Follen McKim Maloney. The result was this song.

[Pixelslet]

Heard it in Elizabethtown, fits perfectly in roady views

[tommyhicks2]

...one of only the few true really cool songs i've come across....

[tommyhicks2]

there are classics and there are classics - right now i'm gonna let it all hang out -literally...[spelling] -mind now,...

[texaspete66]

thanks. gracias......

[texaspete66]

where can I find this on CD ?

[JMorrison4]

Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era

[TammiWayKewl]

@texaspete66 It's on a CD that I have called Summer Of Love. This is a two-voume set, and also includes other hippie era songs, including an obscure number called "Flower Children" by Marcia Strassman. Yes, the same one who played Mrs. Kotter on TV.

[mikubozu]

I liked the video almost as much as the music. Good job!

[2tone2000]

Fuck it, im just gonna let it all hang out!

[alkasalsa55]

[mookielovesgod]

~smiles~

[mookielovesgod]

Saw a man walkin' upside down My T.V.s on the blink Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out Sleep all day, drive all night Brain my numb, can't stop now For sure ain't no doubt Keep an open mind, let it all hang out It's rainin' inside a big brown moon How does that mess you baby up, leg Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out

[mookielovesgod]

LOL my generation song A preachment, dear friend You are about to receive on John Barleycorn Nicotine and the temptations of Eve No parkin' by the sewer sign Hot dog, my razors broke Water drippin' up the spout But I dont care, let it all hang out Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees Sun is shinin' through the shade Nobody knows what its all about It's too much, man, let it all hang out

[send2meez]

i'm still looking for the vinyl single

[flashtimeonline]

I remember this video well because it was the one video that tuaght me how the thumbnail for videos were selected.

[chazzr50]

Rap from the sixty seven.

[onefineline]

this video is hilarious. when it showed the guy hanging from his knees i really laughed. lol

[Villarebel]

Does anyone have The John Cougar mellencamp version of this. Mtv had to pull the vid.

[TravelerNTime]

I have the Original album, wonder what it's worth? I loved these guys. Peace.

[ronniehopkins]

I met B B Cunningham at his studio when his employee Kyle Ayler recorded me singing Don Covers songs in the studio. he was a great person and a great musician that I now look up to. And would like to hear from him or Kyle in the future.

[ThebohemianDMC]

Let It all hang out! Great Song!

[bigdaryle]

Heh Heh this is a great song. It is one of the first records I ever owned. I got this along with I Can See For Miles by the Who and Incense and Peppermints by The Strawberry Alarm Clock for Christmas in 1967.

[jazzgurl]

i luv this song

[deadoralives69]

I have hung out with B.B. Cunningham many times over the last 10 years. He is a great guy and knows his stuff when it comes to playing piano and bass guitar. My family had this 45 record.

He is the only person still alive that actually taught Jerry Lee Lewis something on the piano.

[reffrythewelder]

The vocals are done by Billy Cunningham.

[capt4audio]

No, as the leader of the group, the lead vocal is sung by B.B. Cunningham, with Johnny Hunter doing the intro and playing drums, Gary McEwen on guitar, and I played bass. jerry masters

[bowles1955]

@capt4audio You have no idea how many times I spent my lunch money(.35cent 5th grade) a quarter for 3 at the local beer joint listening to this song...yes we could hang out at the beer joint back then, no problem. Park our bicycles in the back, with cardboard held to the forks to make noise on the spokes like a biker. Never wore a helmet except for football. I miss those days. Thanks for the song, Mr. Masters!!! It made life that much better.

[djk28161]

@bowles1955 Where are the Hombres from....Cool number...no doubt

[ivycompton]

@bowles1955

unique, brilliant, incredible - just the best.

[sinfuldawl]

@capt4audio WHAAAT

[nawtee]

When this song came out it was banned in my conservative town...never did find out why.. does anyone out there have a clue

[Lamvesp]

Good work mate.

[rasputin63]

My take on this record? It's a very funny parody of a stoned-type Dylan record,  like "Positively Fourth Street".

[RoyFive]

The Hombres in fact did issue a follow up called It's A Gas (not to be confused with the record in a 1966 MAD Annual where "Alfred E. Neuman" keeps belching). This song was in kind of the same vein, though not as good. Somehow they managed to work in part of the hook from the classic Land Of 1,000 Dances.

[21Arun]

All I can think about is Jonathon King hanging out of a young boys asshole .. Paedophiles are scum

[dancingwdeer]

thanks for posting this, let it all hang out

[DoctorNumber46]

it seems like he's singing on a different beat than he should be.

[ThatsMrRobertson]

Water's dribbling up the spout,

But I don't care, let it all hang out!

[DWYLBTZLE]

new fangled jumped up slippery trout

SHORE AIN'T NO DOUBT!

keep an open mind

[marmel03]

The Nails did a cover of this in 84 or 85 and it was awesome too...GREAT song...thanks!!!!

[Sordanius]

Another brilliant creation from the 1960's ... the best musical era in history.

[21Arun]

Sordanius - do you mean sore anus ? J King is a alleged paedophile !

[grayheadmac44]

This video is a work of art. This is the kind of song that sticks with you! love it!

[lilmissditz090]

my name is gwen mcewen and my dad wrote and sang this song!

[AlexDCl]

really?

[richietwotwo]

your dad was a genius..or really really tired late at night on the road in some motel...actually it's a really cool song however he wrote it.

[21Arun]

Is he the well known paedophile Jonathoin King

[annedoverfist]

This is NOT the Jonathan King version. The is the US version by the Hombres

[PetShopMod]

@lilmissditz090 That there song your pappy wrote is down right good music, child!

[bedrmeyes5]

@lilmissditz090

Was your dad BB Cunningham Jr? I played with the Hombres for awhile in Memphis.

[cjnogwat]

Its a soundtrack of Elizabethtown, cool motown song:D

[Sordanius]

This song is so quirky, yet so cool.

[beccabusted]

sounds like bob dylan

[nigga3210x]

[queenb2952]

Enjoyed the blast from the past, do you have Gloria

[sboys02]

[dasboot19801]

[hallowking]

Jonathan King does this song better IMHO!!

[21Arun]

Yeh maybe so but he is a paedophile
