Roger Miller King Of the Road

[whiz456]

What about Ron Paul

[tedevlin1]

@brandy1000sissy Obama's expenditure on war would have been of little relevance if George W. Bush hadn't decided on military action in Iraq. Also, would an American not be somewhat appreciative of Obama's administration being responsible for the apprehension of Osama Bin Laden - as a form of Justice perhaps? Obama has done much to reduce the presence of American troops as well as improve domestic institutions - the healthcare bill for one...

[geo77750]

A simple genius that never got his dues!

[BrightYoungManMusic]

I think this song may be in contention for the best song ever written in America.

[boselectfuk]

why do some american hate obama... is it a race thing??

[brandy1000sissy]

@boselectfuk Maybe because he spends so much on war.

[tommygunm1a1]

enjoyed the song,........ then saw an ad for the piece of shit obama, ruined it!!

[cuzinjojo82]

My grandmas favorite song and one of mine! Miss you g'ma!

[babyg3530]

like this song

[billsdestiny]

i'm leaving today for winter vacations in my homeland and this song makes my day :) 

[MrMatto1]

I like Roger Miller but Dean Martin's version is better.

[macvatu]

Looking at the foto of Roger now, I wouldn't have recognised him had we passed in the street, yet he was so popular back in the 60s with his many hits. He was on our juke box all the time in the Military while serving in W Germany, sad to note too he has passed on to the Great Beyond !! . . . thanks Roger Miller for the memories !!

[madamerotten]

At rogermiller(dot)com, there's a (relatively) hi-fidelity version of this piece, and some others. The site is run by his wife, Mary.

[madamerotten]

This recording is a significant piece of recorded history. Search "Roger Miller - King of the Road (The Big T.N.T Show - 1965)" on YouTube for a live concert version by the man, himself.

R.I.P. Roger Dean Miller (January 2, 1936 – October 25, 1992).

[ItsPerseus]

omg maine is famous :)

[utahan15]

[AlxanderBrd]

[Villagehomesofkansas]

This song by Roger Miller is an all time Amrican Classic! What a talent!!!!!!!

[thunderbird948]

[jsaviking]

Classic!



[antdigger]

This guy ripped off REM.

[MrHailemecael]

A classic is what it is. Cool as ice.

[MintieRain]

When I was a baby my grandpa would sing this to me to get me to sleep. He died when I was four years old. Whenever think of him and cry, I listen to this song. It's our favorite. <3

[rgoertzen1]

@MintieRain hugs to you !! It's a really good old song. I love it.When my mom died, there was / is a song that when I hear it.....well I cry...and i'm 43yrs old...It's the christmas shoe song.....

[XxWolfhowlsxX]

This guy could sing. Not like today's crap.

[3riversnorth]

Beatles abbey is saying he likes this shit. He likes it.

[Dadgrug]

Gee, I wonder why this song was visited only 21 hours ago? Could it be that more and more people are identifying with it? It may be our new national anthem, so I'm glad it's such a great song. Thank's Roger!

[gettospirit]

how can 8 people dislike this this song is legand !!!!!!!!

[thekoltrain94]

Roger Miller Is my uncle!! I have every album he ever made

[Rianestorm]

My Pap had this song on a tape that he would play every night to go to sleep. Some nights when I couldn't sleep I would sneak into bed with him. He passed away when I was five, but I still remember every word to every one of these songs.

[pianoman930]

My dad used to sing this me when I was a child. Finally hearing it in its original glory.

[oshiwan1]

sung this at karaoke the other night...went down a treat :)

[jojomoloko]

Awesome song! and It were a fave song of my Grandad.. It would have been his birthday today.. Wish he were here to listen to it with me :( ♥

[cardman162004]

Wish I didn't have to pay union dues. Lazy Assholes.

[crazybabyLA]

INTO THE WILD

[xxxKAYVAANSHRIKExxx]

@crazybabyLA I'm currently watching that film right now :)

[dawoool]

He had plenty of cigarettes. That's why he died young.

[mkl62]

The 52nd #1 song on Billboard's newly formed chart that is now known as the Adult Contemporary charts. It also hit #1 on the Country & Western charts, was #1 in the United Kingdom and Norway, #4 on the Top 40 charts, #5 in Ireland, and #10 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles charts. Definitely Roger Miller's biggest hit.

[westonmoy]

Love this, sing it when walking on the road

[umpalumpask8]

Ain´t got no cigarrets

[Mithrindir1]

This reminds me of am radio when I was a kid.Great song that brings back great memories of a different time.

[FriedEggsWithChips]

Excellent song, class country. I've known every word since I was a kid and I'm 26.

[doodeedoo22]

Mr. Miller is a legend. To not appeciate what this man contributed to american music is just wrong.

[buddydog194]

I love this song but I actually think I like the Randy Travis and Josh Turner cover better

[cyrilmaude]

I actually remember this! Great memories!

[pep11111111]

What the fuck is this dumbass fucking song?

[DHS11999]

@pep11111111 Man, if you have to ask.....you'll never know!!!

[SuperLapsap]

@pep11111111 Dude, it's a classic, know what that means?

[pep11111111]

@SuperLapsap Dumb? >>

[furpurr]

@SuperLapsap i am guessing anything with the word "class" in it may be above his head. ;)

he seems rather...young...immature? whichever. :)

[MrJp990]

@pep11111111 Its called King of the Road by Roger Miller... if you dont like the music then go listen to rap or whatever the hell you listen to...

[BeAtLesAbbey]

Im 16 years old, and I mostly listen to Rock... but I Love this Honcky Tonk shit.

[graemeah]

@BeAtLesAbbey You go, boy. Nobod else understands it either.

[Hillbilly4994]

@BeAtLesAbbey You Spelled Honky Wrong And This Music Is NOT SHIT

[TheToddy30]

@Hillbilly4994 I don't think he was saying it's shit, he just said that he loves this shit...

[bluestingerborg]

@BeAtLesAbbey So do I

[georat16]

@BeAtLesAbbey Amen, Brother!!

[savemyplaylist]

@BeAtLesAbbey You're 16 and you were diddled by your old man

[moana853]

[NormbrettaMod]

@moana853

[TheRoy1952]

Though I've been a fan of all music, Miller made me laugh with his down to earth music

[MrGreenhoney]

oh god , i love that song *

[RenoJeremiah]

i have herd this song many times before but i really loved the song after Generation Kill

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@RenoJeremiah Yeah. Me too...

[ChicagoCharlie]

You newed to like to Slim Dusty, though, the Pub's got no beer.

[hitmybongplz]

im 17. ive heard this song ever since i could remember. loved it b4 i knew what it ment.

[pattayalob]

@hitmybongplz -One day when you attempt to write a CV, (look it up) you will find that every job you apply for, you will be rejected from, mainly because you cannot write English.

[hitmybongplz]

@pattayalob -Chill. I can too write and type fine if I choose so. I've never applied for one job ever, and i know what a CV is... I have a lot to put on one, thank-you very much. So go fuck yourself, and have a nice day.

[pattayalob]

@pattayalob - If you're 17, you must have a lot to put on a C.V. like : went to school, left school - end.

[launchpaad88]

@pattayalob

So you're smarter than this guy just cause he's a "kid"?

[mystrewolf]

@pattayalob you remind me of those really old people who are mad at every young person for no reason. I think you hate being old and are just jealous of young people.

[launchpaad88]

@mystrewolf

You're onto something--a lot of older people talk down to "kids" and think their age supplies them with endless superiority despite their ignorance.

[Floafffy]

Generation Kill.

[36mafia621]

@Floafffy ''Hey! Did you guys sing King of the Road without me?'' Loved Generation Kill.

[benalot300]

[benalot300]

@snipestar1147 you go man!

[GorillaSuitMangg]

This is my childhood, I love it :)

[AcePilot101]

It's a great song.



[Hieballa]

Got to be one of my favorite songs growing up, but then again i was an idiot growing up. so i decided to look it up. and you know what? it's still one of my favorite songs. damn good song.

[DEMONIIIK]

@snipestar1147 (in fact, I was actually kind of saluting you for having a good sense of music. :D )

[DEMONIIIK]

@snipestar1147 ...Wow, that didn't turn out as expected. Hahaha, I was kidding man.

[diggingformud]

This really is a little gem - an absolute campfire classic.

[steadfast1984]

is this the original artist?

[holmansmashbros]

@snipestar1147 im in your same position man. this old music is the best

[bernardballbag]

Records and music like this will last for a very long time because it happens to be good to listen to, not like most of the manufactured shite that has been churned out over the last twenty years or so.

[DEMONIIIK]

@snipestar1147 That's because you *are* weird. Seriously, who listens to *good* music these days?

Fucking oddball, go back to Bieber. XD

[edge01234]

im only 25 and boy at the memories it brings back love it

[utahaztec]

7 mean-spirited people came here by mistake.

[yorkie6687]

Always brings a smile to my face this, oh they were the days!

[Garraelius]

@snipestar1147 Youve got good taste and appreciation of real music.

[MrBrandon718]

[jaydee045]

@snipestar1147

[kanoaskipper]

I 'll play this as I leave Seneca with NO obligation to return !

[rosebyanotheralias]

@snipestar1147 one of the staff members preformed this song for the staff talent show for the senior class...i was the only one that knew it! Screw everyone else for not knowing good music!

[georgiaswamper]

[TheOldrecordclub]

[Pr3ttyGirlSwagg15]

I LOVE Him.I'm49 now, but When I was probably 6...I would always play his 45 heck maybe 33 on my record player over and over again!!! I'd fall asleep listening to him

Damn straight.

[phongv]

Brokeback mountain

[Mineretta2012]

This was my Dad's favorite song. I remember him playing this often and when it played on the radio he would blast it. He use to take us for Sunay drives and make us look at nature. My could make the littlest things an adventure.

[Rocketchair1989]

This song was b4 my time but it is sooooooo good!!

[puno4me]

It has always been a catchy tune for me. It is one of those sing along songs.

[1962krunkle]

I remeber my ad playing this song all the time, when i was little.. :)

[enkamaster]

A Great story & Storyteller! Dangitalltahell!!!-Where have all the storytellers gone??!??

[StevieB1362]

@snipestar1147 I'd agree, you obviously have a good foundation in music appreciation, but I'd be a bit more diplomatic about it. Who knows? If you're positive about why you like this music, you may even convert some of them.

[MrJp990]

i first learned this song when 3 years ago when i was 10 years old.... my favorite song

[Catch22ish]

Into the wild

[LIZZYRULES]

@Catch22ish exactly why I am watching. Chris Mccandless' fav song :)

[INgirl812]

@1970RaeRae I remember my dad liked this too...and other Roger Miller songs like "Dang me" and "Chug a lug." I was a little kid and just thought the songs were funny....my dad's gone now too....RIP Robert Eugene C.

[AdamsTeinz]

@snipestar1147 Dude, you are so cool, in my opinion. These songs rule. Outsiders at school, unite!

[DSisterson]

@snipestar1147 Stay weird! Nobody normal ever made a difference in the world!

[SingerKId12]

@snipestar1147 yo i gt the same problem at my school. props to you my friend

[MarsVoltaKA]

[feckyfeckfeck]

@snipestar1147 Amen Son!

[super7fanboy]

@xXxvoltairexXx your a fag

[mediamannaman]

Sweet song. My soul is refreshed, and the stress of this busy time in which we live is lifted, if only for a day. Yes, Roger Miller was unique and was a musical genius (just like one of his idols, Hank Williams). I was just a kid when Roger's career was in full swing. So thankful that YouTube makes it possible to revisit and appreciate these songs I heard in my early years,

[norevolution581]

If you like Roger Miller then you'll probably Jonny Horton! Great classic country

[tayg13]

I wish i knew more music like this. Anyone have suggestions?

Also coming from a teenager, this is far better than anything on the radio now.

[imy939]

"Banger, Maine". I'm a Mainah so that makes me laugh. Never heard Bangor pronounced like that till now. Anyway, this song is certainly better than the majority of the "music" on the radio now. And that's coming from a teenager.

[pia91]

This is just...the sound of relaxed cowboys and freedom and loads of sun and happiness..just like it should be but never was and never will be^^

and still... it gives us a pause from everything bad there is!

[Ribovlarin]

das ist echt alt
