[JerryTheSpartan]

Is it racist if i say the Dandy Warhols cover is as good as this?

[TheMike26130]

yes it is thoer best to me was a horse with no name 

[MrCope456]

Isn't this music 1000 times better than that gangster rap bullshit the black thugs like to listen to? People who are kind and decent like this type of positive happy music. People who are moral pieces of shit listen to gangster rap.

[truexgunnerxchronica]

@MrCope456 some of that i agree to

[hippie3375]

Yes,such a great song! To bad it did'nt have a bridge or more verses to it. I wore my copy out.

Then I would smoke one,just so the song would last longer. hippie3375

[chancer1995]

I have loved this song soooooo long! D***! I'm old!

[quarrywench63]

@chancer1995 me n u both

[FridayNightLullaby]

no autotune here- just talent.

[radtech21]

"Well I tried to make it Sunday

But I got so DAMNED DEPRESSED"

Wow, I know how that feels....

[weesejr]

When I was a kid, the family would listen to Kasey Kalem's Countdown on Sunday afternoons. I remember the summer this song dominated The Countdown like it was yesterday.

[mariseluizi]

I really love it ♥

[whiterabit998]

best America song!!

[MsAmerican1960]

These guys are awesome live...saw them way back when in the early '90's...they still were great...Love 'em!

[MAINEGAMESVIDEO]

I saw America at LL Bean in Freeport, Maine last September. About 3,000 people sitting in lawn chairs, singing America songs, and everyone knew all the words. Talk about finding the keys to the "Way Back Machine!"

Keep making music, guys!

[JapanHusker]

@hedlundk

Amen.

[TeacherWanderson]

54 people don't know what is a High-Quality music.

[Poopaloo55]

I would totally give Gerry Buckley one.

[shivasicepalace]

How I love the Unicorn they brought us! I've watched the movie many times! I'm Wiccan, love is all that matters! Who cares what religion "they" are!? Humans are Human, we just need to express love!!!!

[ZackL4142]

54 people are illegal immagrants

[melijaje06]

@ZackL4142 And you are a fucking racist idot!! Why do you have to bring your racist rhetoric into this beautiful song?? Go to hell!

[getrdunjeff]

@ZackL4142 They could just be morons, but your theory could be true also!

[bethcallas66]

Missing the 70's!

[bethcallas66]

They are one of the best live bands around to this day!

[muc390]

TOTALLY LOVE AMERICA! this song always gives me goosebumps..

Gerry's voice is awesome too.

[SuperKimm100]

[soccercoachmichelle]

[1SlaytanicFreak]

My dad took my family to see them live when I was 6 on the 4th of July in Denver.....This song always reminds me of him. I Love this band!

[Hefenstahg]

Reminds me of the first time I smoked that good old marijuana. It was a very dank bowl... such a long time ago... summer 2011

[puttymctang]

@Hefenstahg LOL what are you 14

[Hefenstahg]

@puttymctang Wow 14? I'm 16. Hahaha 14.. god I remember when I was 14. Such a long time ago... I was clueless about everything.

[puttymctang]

@Hefenstahg Wow sir, normally I would argue with you but I called you 14 and you didn't start an argument from it, that's true maturity right there I applaud you sir

[Hefenstahg]

@puttymctang Thank you, but this entire thing has been a joke lol. I am 16 though.

[Poopaloo55]

@Hefenstahg Nice reply!

[Hefenstahg]

@Poopaloo55 Many thanks kind sir!

[Poopaloo55]

@Hefenstahg You're welcome (I'm female, btw!)

La mejor Musica y Armonia de todos los tiempos,estuvo en los 60 y 70 todo lo que vino después no tiene ni para empezar-- Ricky Ricardo--

[SlytherinGirl360]

[Syzygy60]

[Syzygy60]

I can play guitar slide and drums to this song...u doubt my veracity?

[truexgunnerxchronica]

@Syzygy60 until you take an arrow to the knee.

[michael822212]

I remember being in subway with my friend and having my guitar on me, and a girl came up and asked me if i could play her a song. So i played her this, and i thought i had scored, then she looked at me and that "That was great! Now i just want to sell you this cologne..." ....All she wanted was to sell me a product -_- ..Ahhh well, great song anyways :D

[Lorijanean]

Takes me WAY back, in a very good way....

[1960sgirl1]

Love his glasses! Love America!

[stephenk54]

Seen them four five times spread over 30 years.....always damn good.

[alex2958chaos]

This song is a real clasic

[SirBurrows]

How can anyone dislike this, its a true classic.

[heresjoje]

[hbdywtk]

This is gay.

[SecsSells]

@hbdywtk You must be ... to know that.

[ldlitton]

@hbdywtk you're an idiot and who cares about anything about you or your beliefs... dickhead

[allenrizzi]

[hedlundk]

I need a fucking time machine.

[Gallileo60]

@hedlundk i want one too, it was so much cooler back in the day



[SaraTGinMD]

@hedlundk You already used the time machine. You came back to 2011 for some reason. :-)

[getrdunjeff]

@hedlundk Can I tag along...Plz take me back with you!

[katieson2005]

@hedlundk I'll chip in for that.

[hedlundk]

@katieson2005 Thanks, with today's music scene having a time machine would seem like a bigger national priority that fixing the deficit.

[emmthreejonny]

This beats the shiznits my friends listen to.

[leonakita]

One of the worst songs by America!... A shameless attempt at a pop radio hit, i remember rolling my eyes to this tune in 1975. A lifelong America fan, till today, my reaction is the same.. Love the opening 'My Sweet Lord' guitar riff, but after that it all goes bad. Not my favorite America style... but wth, it charted!

[Advisorit]

One of the true classics from the day... Brings back good memories

[Whitnastyjeanne]

one of the most underrated bands. i listened to their album the first time when i was homeless and very high on mushrooms. it was a beautiful sunny day and the vibes were amazing

[jjmonkey02]

They need to make music like this now days... the music now days aren't that good :,(

[Neiccee]

This is what true music is :) They don't make music like this anymore. It makes me remember driving down the road and turning up the radio as loud as it goes, me and my girlfriend singing away. Yeah !

[gimmick59]

Happy to be with these generation where music is real music. Great time

[Rush1013]

guitar sounds like George Harrison

[LightSnowOvernight]

i just saw them last night at the Birchmere in Alexandria VA and they were fabulous ! they mixed in some nice Christmas songs too

[maria3845]

Great Song from that time.....

[deeshere22]

I remember it like yesterday, in fact, I was Sister Golden hair. Unfortunately now it's mostly grey! I love America!



[AMP1fy3000]

[Mrjmartin16]

Thank you JESUS

[firefieldmpt]

[GSRcivicEX]

[eveoulu]

[jwurtzel9]

Doing a total brain drain and looking up my favorite songs...I'm kind of old, but not too much. What a great song and what a huge smile I have on my face!

[markd325]

Awwwww yeah...

[random1725]

classics man

[SCOPOtuaMADRE]

MOTORHEAD SODOMIZE THESE FAGS

[brobin60]

@SCOPOtuaMADRE -go bang your head on a wall butthead

[j33zyt33zy]

@kja427

I couldnt agree more :)

[kja427]

I have always liked this tune; I also agree with their philosophy too. Before a man can be a woman's lover, he has to be her friend first. Moreover, just because a man is a friend to a woman, that DOESN'T mean he wants to fuck her. I hold this truth to be self evident: The friends in our lives are just as important as the lovers. Always remember that!

[Mulsanne917flatout]

@kja427 No arguement with that. I've always lived by that philosophy, I think.

Or maybe I've just always been that lucky too? Dunno...but I'm glad I still have all my friends. :D

Love my gals, each and every one, I know THAT! :D

[dospampas09]

@kja427 thumbs up for you! perfect!

[alkimst13]

@kja427 wow, that's a lot of stuff to take into consideration when you are just interested in knocking the bottom out of it.

[BadAstrologer]

@kja427 Preach on friend. +Respect to you.

[davethefed]

@kja427 Its real, real nice when they are both the same,.

[illmaticBubbles]

Now this is what I call good music! Thank God my dad showed me this. Way better than all of that music my friends listen to nowadays.

[MrToolWizard]

Damn shame Dan Peek... founder and lead vocalist... died already... I met these guys in Frankfurt, Germany.. around 1975... too kool they were... seems they were all air force brats... so was I...

[skaseisback]

nah just kiddin cut

[uskauboj]

@skaseisback And you're a gutless punk, my friend. ;-)

[MsSkhill]

Gerry the lead singer on this song is HOT with or without glasses. HOT....

These guys had the perfect harmony. Great band.

[superciliousprincess]

leader singer would be soo hot without the glasses.

[buffmama71]

I grew up with America in the '70's and this brings back nothin but ggod memories!!

[HolyMilck]

their harmony is fucking perfect.. yesss HAHA

[diamonddhk222]

makes me think of fripp

[moogpunk]

Good lick, weird song structure

[RaisaSanagi672]

hehe I am a sesy latin girl

[edmarmadelskie]

This is REAL MUSIC!

[highlandlaura]

I want some glasses/spectacles like that!!!

[rzombi666]

My fondest memory of this song is one night at a local night club while having one to many adult beverage's some friends of mine dared me to up on stage and tryout for the clubs version of American Idol. Ended up doing this song and made it to the semi-finals several weeks later. Weird things do happen when you drink. Thanks for the song America.

[GalinaLubaqj106]

lool Hot latin blond girl looking for someone to cam with me, come on

[kiwianagirl100]

gotta love Burt Sugarman's Midnight Specials

[LaCubana97]

this song is spectacular!!! its so fun to listen to and play along!

theyre so mellow and relaxed!

[rowan1325]

His voice is like a light in the soul

[usernameofagod]

as soon as he starts sing it sounds normal they he say so dammed depressed and that chord i don't know and it actually takes me away from my pain

[Toasty5159]

Just saw them last week at the Tulsa state fair and they were GREAT!!!!!

[pablotabloz]

I remember hearing this on the radio and assuming it was George Harrison!

[freedompatriot1]

@pablotabloz I remember "Living" it !! PEACE

[markd325]

@freedompatriot1 That's L-I-V-I-N 

[campfiresinger33]

fuckin amazing God Bless "America"

[philambrez]

Wow, they sound almost as good live as they did in the studio! Fantastic.

[ugotpimp]

you sure the singer isnt Bill gates? 

[ugotpimp]

1:01 lip synched pretty bad haha

[MegaBob77777]

Man o man, I can remember like it was yesterday. Cruising down the Highway, top down, me and my girl headed to the beach for the day, summer of '75. This song,and songs like it, are just timeless. Real music,created by real people,and sung live with no bullshit. Doesn't get better than that.

[neil7049]

@MegaBob77777 Yea Bob, in my Ausin Healy 3000 mk 3 with the top down heading to Seaside hights in NJ to Jack and Bills for a cold draft

[1969vdez]

Bag song. Still great after all these years.

[taralicious]

I saw them in the early 80's when they opened for Little River Band and they were freakin' awesome. Took me back to my youth in the 70's to watch this.

[JohnnyD2112]

NICE!!!!!!! and like always, SMOOOOOOTH !

[daddymikey2003]

they played Indy in the late 70's with Christopher Cross...I took my Future wife there on a date and the crowd ran Cross off the stage chanting for America to return!!!

[Poopaloo55]

Gerry Beckley is.....oh, I forgot what I was saying.

[YoGuy37]

I've always known this song but never knew who it was, I've been listening to America for the past 30 minutes and found a bunch of songs I knew but didn't know the name or artist, Awesome.

[astralislux]

@YoGuy37 This has been happening to me as well. Today I was listening to 'hold' music of a company I often call and realized the song they play was by America!

[angel1265]

@YoGuy37 same happen to me I been trying but I find it yeah..!!!!!

[1961gj]

@YoGuy37 Great Song, been here since the beginning of their music and love it!

[rtbreeder]

Awesom singer and vid. Thx for posting!!

[grabbber]

Makes me want to buy Brand new 1971 Maverick Grabber....and cruise Ventura Blvd

[hotstuffandicecream]

Almost 2 million people have listened and almost 2 million are having flash backs to some great memories of the 70's. Help me build that time machine to go back and do it all over again. It may kill us but we will go with a huge smile on our face.

[gimme2utah1]

@hotstuffandicecream Did we know back then what we really had? IMO the 70's and early 80's had the best music. But I think we took it all for granted not knowing how much of a downward spiral pop/rock music would take.

[SheriffTankStoner]

Since they had British mothers and American fathers, I always wondered who among them had any hint of a British accent.

[52wbending52]

@SheriffTankStoner Funny I heard from a radio show that they formed in Britin!

[chiefmojorising1]

absoulutely magic.

[TheZigzagged]

For some reason this has always been one of my favorite songs... ever.

[ATHLETIC90LIVORNO]

dan peek's last song was Kiss me on the waves, by the spanish band Etcétera

[salemthemerciless]

RIP Dan , give us a Peek now & then :(

[19mg94]

[WhiteDeathAngel1]

[sunny56763]

[Gibsonhb1]

This song was inspired from George Harrison's my sweet lord.

[dixiedragon54]
