[bluehealin]

[53slowmo]

I can't believe that there are people who do not like this song!

[discoqueen1970]

It's The mighty Quinn and my grandson's name is Quinn and I sing this to him all the time.

STONED



[puterzhome]

[puterzhome]

I thought it was the mighty quim :-)

[hoosierteacher]

Is it just me, or doesn't Mike Murphy (on flute) look like actor Cillian Murphy?

[psykos448]

@hoosierteacher I think he looks moore like a young Malcolm McDowell. Or maybe a mix between the two. ;)

[Flashbackjacko]

This song came out at about the same time that I got my last real haircut.

[rexxcarz]

"You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn!!!""

[MyMartianNameIskzjzt]

Wow.. brings back memories. Loved the song.. and never understood what it meant. Still don't.. and don't care. Thanks for putting this up here.

[8x56]

@MyMartianNameIskzjzt Anthony Quinn did a movie where he played the part of an eskimo,the name might have been something like The White North. My brain is straining now.

[discoqueen1970]

@MyMartianNameIskzjzt When Quinn the Eskimo gets here everybody gonna wanna dose? Got it. Eskimo, white powder, dose. Racy for it's time.

[SuperMiro73]

[alphakid42]

This was when Top Of The Pops was good -- before the lip syncing nonsense!

[steeplepossum39]

The best song that MM has ever done!

[matschinsky2]

@steeplepossum39 : Yes, besides "One way glass"

[hessekoppeiguudewie]

[mpurves98]

You know that this is originally a Bob Dylan song, right?

[bennoheinrich]

[MsCeline222]

[adjustify1]

who's the guy at the flute?

[supadoopaification]

@adjustify1 that is manfried mann!! this is actually 3 or 4 different clips of the song mashed into 1. how sexy are his lips!!

[MannyMUC]

@adjustify1 It's Klaus Vormann, an old friend of the Beatles from the Hamburg days. He later played with John Lennon (Plastic Ono Band), Eric Clapton and a lot of others

[thm12345678]

@adjustify1 the guy on the flute is the great klaus voormann. he also play with the beatles and so some people call him "the fifth beatle"

[englishsandy]

jeez Klaus Voorman wa so damn good looking then!!!!!!!!! wonder what he looks like now,cool record as well I might add.

[TheForsakenFalcon]

[englishsandy]

@TheForsakenFalcon yeah but they sounded really good on it.

[buselbaerchen]

Einfach ein Klasse Song! :) Unvergleichbar mit heutigen "Newcomern"

[TheRababa1]

[bigbadredsox]

Good song but a lousy lip-sync.

[carrieanne1967]

[Kubus77]

[Realist81]

[orwellwasright]

[mistergoo4]

It's a little bit me, It's a little bit you.

[nina92506]

omg memoriesssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssss



[gretchenblitz]

Manfred Mann is one of the great underrated radio bands of the 60s. Kinda like the Kinks and the 4 Seasons. You had to be young then to know how important they were to pop music. Do Wah Diddy is awesome!

[dooovde]

lol remember they played this in Ireland for Niall Quinn...he was quite great tho

[WizardGlik]

The bass player looks like he's in The Plastic Ono Band.

[dollydot123]

@WizardGlik You're right actually. It's Klaus Voorman and at one time, he was, I believe. Although it was after this clip was shot.

[orwellwasright]

Klaus Voorman - he was!

[wokingfc2]

fantastic...great tune..

[Perranporth]

The Roger Moore of Manfred Mann! Not as good as the original lead, but different, more light-hearted approach, and a good enough showman in his own right.

[maryquant1967]

Indeed. He had a tough act to follow.
