  • I love this song! I've probably already commented on this but I'm going to again anyway. The summer I was 16, I worked at the pool at the state park close to our house and one of the guys that worked there that played the music for the snack bar & pool area, always played this and several Grass Roots songs for me when ever I worked. I thought that was so sweet of him. That was a great summer. Thanks for posting this video. It brings back great memories. Thanks again, Rhonda

  • one word: awesome

    

  • @maccafan10 i know it has been a long while since you posted it, but i just thought It was kinda weird that you say that about finding your self a regular guy or a fireman. Because my ex is a sailor and my bf now is a Fireman oh and my 1st name is Brandy. I just thought i might through that out there.

  • This song reminds me of my days in North Charleston SC. Oh, what fun I had in my youth.

  • I never met a musician that didn't love this classy pop tune. Check out the Red Hot Chili Peppers cover and see how much they love this one hit wonder!

  • Great song, thanks for posting.

  • The ultimate love 'em and leave 'em song. Can't help but fall in love with the heartbroken and the heart-breaker.

  • What a Truly Great Song! I came here because of Charlie's Angels!

  • one it's "brandy", not "brandi".

    two the sun city girls cover of this song is much better

  • remember making out at a party in 7th grade with a girl named brandi when i first heard this classic

  • i love this music, i absolutely couldnt get better than this

  • I love this song

    absolutely adore it.

  • My cousin and I had our first stolen taste of Brandy when this song came out. This song will always be a memory! (We were just kids)

  • you got to love chill songs like brandi you're a fine girl, summer breeze, sittin' on the dock of the bay, dancing in the moonlight, stir it up, across the universe, and other songs to that nature. they are so pure and meaningful. kinda makes you want new music like that, but apparently, people are too wrapped up in their shallow music (about sex, drugs, and sex) to go back to that peaceful, relaxed sound...

  • Can one of you lovely people tell me what year this classic was released? Cheers :)

  • my mama always calls me when this song comes on!!!

  • THIS IS WHAT YOU GREAT SONG WRITING ,,,,,

  • You were right I was wrong, it is Looking Glass. Want a clue? Wiki the name

    Hamilcar Barca to rekindle your memory.

  • My very first make out song. I was just 16 when this song came out

  • Brings Back so many Amazing memories when I was just a little kid, my mom to this day (As do I) LOVE THIS SONG! It takes you back, to Great times..Ahhhh...

  • I think everyone knows this song.

  • For a long time I thought this was a song by Chicago. So much for my theory.

  • Great song that paints a picture you can see within not just listen to. Always a favorite of mine.

  • I was wondering if anyone thought this sound like obama singing

  • Man i wish i grew up in the 60's....damn

  • Such a timeless song.. Even young people are familiar with it.

  • THIS IS MICHAEL JACKSON SON OMER BHATTI HE LOOK HIS DAD MICHAEL SEE IT ON OMER BHATTI YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW.

  • Thumbs up if you listen this, because you think Doug of King of Queens rules in karaoke.

  • I had just enlisted in the USN when this song came out. Lotsa memories associated with this tune.

  • MY GIRLFRIENDS NAME IS BRANDI!

  • don't you love youtube?...junior high memories. sometimes i get in the mood to just throw myself a mini concert on youtube.

  • Why did I have to be born into the early 1990's & miss this? WHY?!

  • Thats MY NAME :D love the song btw.

  • Classic, epic song! Love it.

  • How can you NOT like this song? Classic feel good song right here.

  • One of the best pop songs of all time. A classic!

  • I hear this song every day at work. Damn it. It's grown on me.

  • We used to hear this on the school bus going to school at 6:45am. Was like rock n roll back then...lol

  • My daughter was named after this video by her grandfather. I have no idea why... but she was.. Hooah

  • This song is really about an Irish bar girl working in Rota, Spain. The bar owners recruited Irish girls who could talk to the American sailors and Marines stationed at the base there back in the 1960s and 1970s.

  • Sexy Song <3

  • Who says you can't go back ? I do it one song at a time...

  • I feel like a lot of people are misinterpreting the song. The way i see it is making a more general statement about relationships. In love, people want what they can't have.

    At first, the line is "your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea." It's talking about how all these sailors would end their careers as a sailors to be with her, but she doesn't love them. She already loves someone else, but 'his life his love and his lady is the sea.' She wants the one sailor who can't be with her.

  • i remember this song, radio station-KHJ, Los Angeles, was playing like every hour and soon i dreaded it, but i can stand hearing it now, thanks for the post :)

  • awesome song

    

  • Thumbs up if you're here 'cause of the RHCP version ;D

  • i remember this on 8 track from K-tel !!! now this takes me back!! wow sounds great!!

  • i didnt grow up in this era of music and i still love it

  • saw them open for Alice Cooper 1972

  • I really miss music like this. LONG LIVE THE CLASSICS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's spelled Brandy with a y not an i. Look it up on wikipedia :)

  • I'm only 16. i know this song because i was in hyde park. thank you chili peppers. you showed me a great song

  • Interesting thing..."Looking Glass" was actually known for their "hard rock" music, even in the early 70s. But "Brandy" took off on the charts and became their most popular song. When they did a concert, most of the audience was from the "Brandy" school of music. When they went into their "rock" songs, the crowd was so incensed, they started throwing things at the stage!

  • I LOVE YOU FOR SPELLING BRANDI WITH AN I

  • A differnet theory to the song. Im no sailor , but married and (my brandy) knows i can never be with her, but she still loves me./////............and damn she is one fine girl that i want to keep but cant.

  • I named my only child brandi because of this song

  • a staple of 70s AM radio

  • I was named after this very song :) im quite proud to say that. This is what real music is!

  • An excellent pop single. Any girl named Brandy has had to endure me singing this song several hundred times-I'm sure it irritates them, but I mean it as a compliment!

  • rhcp

  • if you enjoy this song then that REALLY shows your age.

  • Made a big mistake, chose the girl over the sea.

  • Good Stuff.

  • Please view my channel

  • This totally reminds me of the episode of the King of Queens where Doug and Carrie go to karaoke and Doug sings this song. :)

  • i feel like im dreaming, somewhere i heard this song

  • some should make a Navy video of this song. I know an old retired Master chief still married to his first wife. She is a good lady who still stands by that old salt.

  • woohoo ima Brandy :)

  • i always sing in his voice when he starts sing brandy

  • Great song, and I was born in '89.  Always hear about the good ole days (60s and 70s) from my dad. If it wasn't for the fact that he wouldn't be my father, I'd love to have lived back in that time.

  • It's a rather drunken Easter here in Harrisburg and we're all singing along to this post and we're all saying THANKS.

  • 103 ppl do not know brandi

  • 103 ppl do not know brandy

  • Apparently looking glass was an excellent studio group, but their live performances were less than desirable.  Thus there success was limited.

  • my girlfriends name is brandi and she's a bartender on the weekends. lol never heard this song before and that shocked me

  • I wish there was video for this song ... it tells a story and I can just see Brandi there behind the bar ... such a fine girl

  • I named my doggy after this song :)

  • 103 tards who voted thumbs down

  • memorable tune that came outta nowhere and suddenly was a hit in the early 70s. i guess i'm liking more songs now that feature brass and hammond organs (or their equivalent :) that blast out from the past.

  • this song is the best.

  • Named my daughter Brandi Nicole, not totally because of this song but i had it in mind.

  • Always remember these souls with at least part of a Rosary if your part of their Family...So that they return safe from the "Perfect Storm..." Dan O'Niallain

  • amazing song

    

  • Hi Kate!!!!

    

  • This brings back good memories of a better time

  • The dumbest song ever made. No, wait. It's up there but there ARE worse songs.

  • I named my dog Brandi because of this song.

  • I was born 12/12/63..and now I am playing it for my 3 yr old twins and my 6 yr old!

  • "Brandy wears a braided chain, made of finest silver from the north of Spain..." one of the greatest pop lyrics ever written.

    vd

  • The sound is great

  • Ahh, the good old days. When everyone loved great songs like this on cheap AM transistor radios. No obscenity, bad attitude, skanky outfits or cheap shock value. But way more lasting impact, because the songs were simply better. Period. I hope music returns there someday, so the younger generations can have music to look back on and cherish.

  • Song reminds me of when I was a preteen. Loved this song then and still love it today!

  • i was born in 61 and grew up with the best music to date the 60s and 70s

  • Don't let your kids take candy or ride in a van driven by any of these 4 men.

  • Love the song, reminds me of wasting the time away in summer when I was young, my neighbor's back yard being blown up with dynomite to put a pool in.

  • this song sucks

  • A lot of people can see the "Ocean Rise and Fall" but Brandi saw "It's Raging Glory..." Dan O'Niallain

  • nice :) thanks for bringin it on back!

  • Brandi i don't know you but i miss you, o

    nce i start i can never stop, i love this song

  • Growing up in the 60s and 70s was great. With the greatest music ever.

  • It's weird that I come to this video and see all the people talking about how they remember the song when they were young. I'm only 20 and love this song, I hear it all the time at work. Truly music that survives the change of time.

  • : )

  • this comment will get alot of thumb ups!

  • awesome song...thats my name:)

  • @Magestrix Isn't it strange how some songs just grab you and won't let go? You love them from the first time you hear them and no matter what else you hear in later life, you still go back to them and love them all over again.

  • Im only 19 &nd I frreakiingG love this song!!!!! swear I was born late :/

  • that song sounds like summer to me

  • Ths song brings back so many memories. I used to work in a bowling alley with an attached bar on Saturday nights and if this song wasn't played at least four or five times that night it was a slow night. After hearing that song so many times back then it is amazing that I still like it now. It is just a good tune!

  • I was born in 90, I wish I could have been alive when all this music was still coming out. I want real music back

  • Haters of this tune have no soul.

  • Probably one of the most unique, memorable and most recognizable songs from the 70's. Everyone knows the lyrics by heart.

  • my dad use to sing this just for me in his band when i was really little lol... my names Brandy :P i love my daddy <3

  • What weird feelings come over me when I hear this. Wood paneling, shag carpet, console stereos, strings of glass beads for doors, black lights, ...oh...and bell bottoms al come to mind. I forgot I lived through all that.

  • 101 people wish they knew brandy

  • Oh my, this brings back so many memories.. I used to get teary eyed thinking of the sad story... I found this when I was searching for another seventies tune, Jackie Blue a fave which has stayed with me for decades... good music lives forever!

  • My uncle owned the building they guys used as a soundstage.

  • You go Patriot. Mar 23, 62 here. I encourage all of today's kids to learn to play an instrument and form their own bands and write songs like what came out in the mid 60's through the late 70's. We had the best music.

    Oh yeah "computer" is not an instrument.

  • I've met a few sailors and at least this one's honest.

  • Brandy, the Edmund Fitzgerald and the Doors "Land Ho" are staple songs at bars that serve the Sailors in Gloucester and throughout the World to do that 110% if the Crew thinks the Captain is leading them into the "Perfect Song" and God Bless those Souls. Amen...Dan O'Niallain

  • Is it Brandi or Brandy?

  • to heck with the fine girl! GIMME THE DRINK!!!

  • This is the song I was named after. & my dad was a sailor in the Navy. :)

  • Give me the oldies!!!

  • A wonderful song, but as a sailor's wife (semper paratus!) living in coastal Oregon, the local station played this song several times a day. Tough listening when your husband is under way for another 2 months... and yet, it's so beautifully written you can't help it.

  • This is a one-hit wonder, for sure. But it is one of the best pop songs recorded in the 1970's. Why they could not do another song as good is a mystery. This is one of my to-50 all time songs - well written and performed.

  • oh! gee! i love this old song, im a fine girl too xxx to looking glass

  • Thanks for posting - brings back memories of the 70's! Love it.

  • Stop Stalking me, Lookin' Glass!

  • I love this song! It takes me right back to a sweet time in my life. I think we all knew a girl like Brandy...tough as nails {and} a real no-nonsence...don't play, give me my money, kind of girl...LOL!

  • wonder who brandy really is?
