@DezEatsCookies2 my teacher played this in computers and everyone laghted and i got up and walked away and i got yelled at

[GazzaFJ27]

damn good!!!

[ukchippy11]

this is just a cool tune at the end of the day

[suebug27]

My moms name is desirae and we used to listen to this in the car when I was really little singing and dancing. Now I think back to thAt I cry because she's very sick.

[ukchippy11]

this song has so many memories for me it's unreal!most prominently my dad driving us all the way down to the south of france many many years ago when i was about 8 or 9.we made him play neil diamond over and over again for hours-lol!!

[opendtuning]

"Well, I became a man,at the hand's of a girl almost twice my age" "And she came to me just like the morning sun"... this song remind's me of "Maggie May" and the Billy Joel song "Until the Night"

[ahfaxthis]

He was very very handsome ! I hear he is a nice guy as well. OH, and yes, that VOICE. WOOF !

[MegaJohnson64]

I always liked this version over the album's, better backbeat and percussion and energy. Neil seemed to be really into the song and loving it.

[gravesend60]

Great singer but his political beliefs suck..

[greenwich1754]

@gravesend60 Don't know what they are. May be opening the proverbial can of worms, but, being an entertainer, he's probably not conservative (?)

[dawnjakeleah]

When he is on stage, he owns it. They call him the Jewish Elvis and I believe it. (except he never took drugs) He actually was studying to be a doctor but dropped out to follow his passion of writing songs.

[Jeromus1970]

I understand that the networks wouldn't let him use the original first verse in 1977 but the second verse doesn't make a bit of sense without it.

I actually new a girl, oh...15 years ago now, who was actually named after this song. Guess her parents were as big Neil fans as mine were.

[eskuAdradit0]

I once talked in a party to a girl called Desiree who had a boyfriend. She is now available but she's far away.

But oh boy Neil, you've inspired me to get closer to her and I will get her!

[aMoRaRub]

Desiree WOW UNA D MIS FAVORITAS ¡¡¡

[DesireeSammy]

yeah :D

[blackforest270]

It is the Fourth of June,i need a cougar for the night.

[Arcangel2812]

Yeah, network television wasn't comfortable with "cougars" when this song came around. Lol! Neil obliged the censorship ~ Jim Morrison, however, didn't. Odd thought though ~ Neil's alive, Jim's not...coincidence? Who knows? Good old song when sung with its proper lyrics.

[BelusFausto23]

I love this video!!! I have it on VHS and watch it when in the NeilDiamond watching mood. :D

[xmen9491]

i saw neil perform this in conert, in 2008, it was aausom conert

[Dez31396]

This is so my song :) woooooo to all desirees!!!

[des08rayray]

@Dez31396 my name is desiree to and i couldnt stop laughing. its crazy

[desit1969]

I was 8 years old when this song came out. And I was just so convinced that this song was written and song just for me...lol

[eesy56]

THIS WAS HIS DOGS NAME. HE LOVED THAT DOG....GOT HIT BYE A CAR IN 76'

[Belthazor1967]

Neil is fantastic in every way... I love his music & he is one musician who sounds just as fantastic live as he does recorded... So handsome too :-)

[desiraesnyder]

i was named after this song

[DropDeadDesirae]

My name is Desirae XD

[doucetdesiree3]

[snowflakesiamese]

[dezi9674]

i love this song and its my name! :)

[desi2010June]

LOL Love it its about all the desiree's included me :)

[crae823]

Haha didn't even know abt this song...

[Thomschick420]

I was named after this song! Love you Neil!

[MyVelvetDarkness]

@Thomschick420 im me too is a weird thing!

[allycassa1986]

Love the opening.. 'it was the 3rd of June'' That's my birthday! :)

[DeZeRaY007]

I just found out about this song a few months ago. I was so excited just cause it's my name! awesomeness.

[oceanic110]

I may be biased because my name is Desiree, but this is a great song!

[gregboyds]

@oceanic110 It IS a great song AND you have a beautiful name!

[oceanic110]

@gregboyds Thank you :) 

[gibeau64]

I liked the percussion and energy of this version, far better than the album release. I liked it first off...

[decline2state]

"At the hands . . . wise old drifted sage" was originally the much more provocative "At the hands of a girl/Almost twice my age"

[gregboyds]

@decline2state You're right. I bought this album when I was 12 years old back in '82 and that was the original text.

[jnvyoral]

@decline2state I agree with your comment... "at the hands ofa girl almost twice my age...." the best lyric

[MeBob23]

@decline2state I thought: What? That's not how the song goes.... I guess the original line doesn't work well for T.V.

[DeeAndDee]

@decline2state I noticed that right away. It is enjoyable to hear a song as it is still in the process of being born.

[ardranny]

Memories of finishing leaving cert year 1978 in Garbally college and looking forward to the long sunny days and cool evenings in Ardranny, making hay, walking the roads, playing hurling and watching tv in black and white in Hobbes.

[Devot4ki]

My name too ;)

[mojo1956]

Wonderfull memories are associated with this song ........

[beingnorm]

I had fondness for Neil until one day I discovered he was on the opposit side of my fence. Love makes the world go round... but not an indorsement for John Kerry! UGH!

[traebarlow]

@beingnorm

gtfo of his youtube video then, did you just come here to bitch or what?

[comtessen]

Best song ever of the Desiree`s songs. Its my name to :)

[traebarlow]

@comtessen

Did you just come here to bitch or what?

BTW Bush and the Republican Party will be remembered in history as the ones who burnt the USA to the ground, get over yourself you bigoted fuck.

[comtessen]

@traebarlow sorry, but what are you talking about? Would appreciated if you used other language....

[NevadaWrangler]

@traebarlow even though you're full of shit and refuse to condemn both parties for which are both equally guilty, other than that i agree with your post

[kiwigurlnz]

LOL...thats mah name :P

[daeraeelliott97]

My name is Desiree and I was born in the summer of 97

[daeraeelliott97]

I was born in 1997 in the summer and my name is Desiree

[tlinn50]

I adore this man. As far as singer/songwriters go, he is one in a million, and yet for some reason I still don't feel he has gotten his due respect. He is utterly amazing. Very few other musical artists have caused me to replay, obsessively, a single song over and over. Stevie Nicks is another double-threat whom I have on constant replay. Timeless voice + timeless songwriting genius + timeless charisma. Why don't we seem to have any current artists who can meet this standard?

[jteshuwah]

@tlinn50 you wanna know "Why don't we seem to have any current artists who can meet Diamond's standard"? cuz there's no money in it for the entertainment biz! they don't want talent anymore. they want t&a and a slick, artificial sound that incites buyer's lust in prepubescent girls! you want Etta James, they give us Taylor Swift. you want SRV, they give us John Mayer. any questions? i love Diamond! have for years! HATE the way things are now! peace

[dc63ify]

thats my name desiree

[Whipple236]

Excellent - thanks for posting. One of the truly soul-touching songwriters, and a very good singer, too.

[FreakyHolly]

unbelieveble this is the song my parents gave me my Name....

Ich heiße Désirée nach dem Lied benannt...bin sehr stolz drauf!

[MyManThong]

This song made me smile, so Desiree M.K., if you read this comment, I love you.[:

[tram84mvp]

real lyrics:

It was the third of June

On that summer's day

When I became a man

At the hands of a girl

Almost twice my age

I guess the last 2 lines were to risque for this TV special.

[PussystinklikeU]

I got my first blowjob from a prostitute named Desiree.

[tonyvar12345]

LOL all these chicks on here named Desiree are like my name my name well if you were named after this broad in this song you were completely named aftera COUGAR LOL
