[mydannyfranny]

[mrwarmth100]

[baldy194859]

shop around ? don,t that mean play the field ?

[bobg69]

@baldy194859 you are totally correct friend!!

[vidsvidsandmorevids]

This Song Really Explains Me Well. Lol, Creepy. I've Had More Boyfriends Than Any Of My Friends Because Its Not Like I'm Gonna Marry That Guy, Why Stay There? I'd Rather Date A Lot Of Guys Than Stay With One. Call Me A Whore If Ya Want, But Life's 2 Short 2 Commit 2 A Guy When I'm Not Even 16 Yet. However, I Guess Some Girls Like 2 Commit But I Like 2 Experience Everything, And It Brings A Lot More Memories Than One Guy Can Give. Ya Know What I Mean?(:

[mydannyfranny]

@vidsvidsandmorevids ok, you're a whore. can i have your bumber?

[vidsvidsandmorevids]

@mydannyfranny Right After You Grow A Pair

[mydannyfranny]

@vidsvidsandmorevids just kidding. i'm gay and have a huge pair; not much of a dick, though.

[vidsvidsandmorevids]

@mydannyfranny Congrats And Thx 4 Telling Me About How Big Your Dick Is On The Internet :/ >.<

[mydannyfranny]

@vidsvidsandmorevids hey vid. trading shots with you is giving me a boner. no need for you to shoparound aytmore. adios...yourdannyfranny

[vidsvidsandmorevids]

@mydannyfranny ... Tmi Doesn't Describe How Awkward That Was...

[mydannyfranny]

@vidsvidsandmorevids not a very clever reply. you should keep shopping around. try the nearest discount store, vid

[vidsvidsandmorevids]

@mydannyfranny Wasn't Supposed 2 Be Clever, Was Trying 2 End The Conversation, I've Got Better Things 2 Do Than Talking 2 Perverts. K? K. Now Go Bother Some Other Poor YouTuber

[mydannyfranny]

@vidsvidsandmorevids you sound cranky, but mostly horny and in need of maintenance,

[vidsvidsandmorevids]

@mydannyfranny Wtf?! Creep! Leave Me Alone!

[mydannyfranny]

[mydannyfranny]

@mydannyfranny lay off hannah you creep

[tthomaselli2]

Was this in 'American Graffiti', too?

[Tastypeache]

IM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG :) lol

[MrChirpsky]

Dude puts the same video on all his songs. Some originality please?

[wazzobazzo]

@MrChirpsky Does it matter? I'm here for the music

[MrChirpsky]

@wazzobazzo Yes, it matters. I'm here for music videos. I know, then I should shut-up and make videos to the music I like. So this is actually a good thing cause it motivates me to do what I think should be done. Stay tuned.

[wazzobazzo]

@MrChirpsky Sounds like some work. You can put any random video on YT on mute and play the song in another tab too (just a suggestion) ? I don't mean to be a dick/flame you or anything but it does sort of sound like a first world problem:P

Oh well hf:)

[91mozz]

Girl's don't understand I'm only doing what my mama told, I'm gonna shop around !!! R.I.P Mom you raised me well....

[beckmank17]

We need to invent a time machine i need to go back to these rock n roll years

[ashes210b]

Keep these songs alive one way or another! These songs have alot of meaning to them and music will never be this good ever again.

[oreo1570]

I was seeing a guy .and was'nt together when the movie came out. i broke down and cried cause john muller looked just like this guy.i have his initals on my left hand today.still remember him.wow.

[RIPhiphop00sly]

why were the songs so short back then dammit !! ?

[strugglebuggietv]

@RIPhiphop00sly Pop songs were all about Juke-box and the radio. the shorter the song, the more they played it....tape and vinyl wasnt cheap ya' know...

[TJCATLOVER]

This is my favorite Smokey Robinson and the Miracles song!!!

[consolate1]

I wish more of todays songs were like this 1. Songs like this actually had some sense in them, because even though a lot of them still promoted premarital sex, they at least talked about being with the 1 girl, & staying with her 4 life, & loving her. This 1 actually said, get married. As in, the mother telling her son 2 pick the right girl, & 2 not just jump 4 the 1st 1 he sees, 2 make sure shes the right 1. We need more songs like this. & even the music in the song was better todays music.

[blonde7000]

@consolate1 Very well said and this is a great song. The songs you hear now are nothing like these. Even though this came out well before i was born it is wonderful

[CharlesCharles63]

One of the best Fast Dance/Jitterbug songs ever written. Great early rock 'n' roll classic.

[TheEldoradoKid]

I remember precisely all that and more! We had a lot of fun playing baseball at the end of the street, and A&W Root Beer was a real treat, we had to walk a mile and a half out to the highway to get it!

[thinkorthwim69]

man this makes me feel good and young again. I grew up with this thanks for the posting

[HoboGus]

You better shop around !!!!!!!!!!

[TheJediCharles]

We could use more wise, loving, involved Mom's like the one narrating this song.

[extasisNOW]

Yeaaa!!! Que fantástica canción. Què maravilloso estilo para cantar el de Smokey Robinson

[jasonpfinch]

Smokey's voice is like a stream of water falling across some rocks. I love him

[nightgrooveruk]

THANK YOU GOOD VIBRATIONS :) NAMASTE :)

[williedmusic]

Jr yr. 2nd semester or 1st semester as Seniors classof`61

[silverpizza100]

[beechnutgrl]

Michael Todd Nichols you need to shop boy~!! Kay---Your Mom

[hyoutantugino1]

oldis save the  world^^

[festinger3]

And a courteous reply!,  Keep at least ONE hand on the wheel and an eye on the road.Oh, and clear out any rubbish from the back seat! Could be useful.

[pillroller88]

Back when you 'dialed' the telephone. If you didn't get an answer-she wasn't home. You didn't need a gps to get you to 124th and Meridian

[mikemikeyf]

Smokey Robinson. This was before they changed the name.

[jsnhyns]

Oh god, all these oldies on the site saying youth culture today is for the dogs!!! I can't even be bothered to make an argument, lets just say being youthful can always be a lotta fun

[festinger3]

@jsnhyns From an OLDIE;Nice to see wisdom and good humor from a young'n.If I was young now I'd still be having fun!

[jsnhyns]

@festinger3 thankyou kind sir, well im looking forward to the benefits of time passing, there'll b less pressure2have fun and more money(i assume)instead to spend on good music like this..right, now im off to drive my real boss car an go pick some chicks!

[petlover875]

when i hear this i think of the movie Jimmy Reardon. lol

[chucksterberg]

You forgot the most important one. A beautiful girl friend to do all those simple things with. I had many of them and they were the best times this country has ever seen and will ever remember. At least people our age have those great memories. But when you think about it, you have to feel sorry for the kids of today missing all of those good times, and they have to listen to the shit they call music now a days. I think you dig my drift, right? cya

[BettyJenner1951]

@chucksterberg Like I say...WHO really has the *hard* times...US or these kids today? I wouldn't trade my growing up years for TODAY's childhoods for ALL the money in the world!! When you think of the word *FREEDOM*...WE had the most!

[peety1969]

i asked my son one day if he knew what a record player was. he said no, but then stopped himself "wait i know what it is, its that realy oold thing that plays big cd's"

[Loobs666]

Lol... it sounds like the Doctor Who Episode 'New Earth'.... where they confuse a Wurlitzer Juke Box with an i-pod.

[neolithic9]

next time im driving ...im gonna have this cd

[someonespadre]

I would like my daughter to follow the advice in this song and move the current BF out and shop around a little. But who listens to the wisdom of their parents at the age of 20? Unfortunately Hollywood has sold a line of BS to these kids that LOVE is the only thing, true long-term partnerships work out because the partners each bring something to the relationship such as ability to financially support the union and share in common tasks, etc.

[gazovbolton07]

@someonespadre im only nineteen. i dont drink or do no drugs yeah i know lol hard to believe jokes lol. but yeah i dont drink or do drugs i did my best in school and got qualifications from college also. kept a steady 3 year relationship with my teenage crush. we still strong and still in love doesnt that show you all teen relationships do work with the different people and btw im no nerd nieither is she we just ur ''normal teens'' who are sensible. PEACE

[liquidgee13]

@someonespadre So where's the relationship when financial hardship figures into the picture? Love based on money is really love of money not love of another.

[johnmorris008]

@someonespadre  Tell 'em mama. Girl you'd better listen.

[dhryj]

@someonespadre

Didn't get married till I was 28.

:)

[PAVN]

@someonespadre Are you talking just to say things? You're pretty fucking stupid, telling your daughter to have as many boyfriends as possible before she settles down and gets married. If she does that, she'll simply wind up getting pregnant, and then she'll HAVE to settle for any man that will take her.

[jac5562]

@someonespadre sustainability! being 22...i feel schools shouldve taught real life scenarios...let it be a teens choice where they want to follow into with life if they love astronomy then go,engineering go , etc you know..but the generation before is the guiding hand..i know society is really twisted with logos,brainwash .w.e is condusive for money

[Tagrantelli]

@someonespadre Perhaps we don't interpret the song the same way, but I was under the impression that the mother would like her son to find a girl "who's gonna give you true lovin'."

[markantonymcwhorter]

i have seen young'uns listening to some pretty old stuff,so i reckon some of them are listening to the classics on their ipods and such, uh huh...

[gen456789]

the computer then great kids wernt lazy then and not bord i wish i could live in the 50s for ever

[gajda1984]

It also brings me back in history to a time, when people didn't need cell phones, hybrids, sushi bars, coffee houses and all that shit. Kids went to play outside and ran to the baseball park to get fresh air from their unairconditioned house. People just needed a chevy belair, a carhop, a drugstore, fries and a rootbeer float and they were happy!

[scarlettstar87]

i could not agree with you more

[gen456789]

me to i agree its the better time to live

[Ramal123]

A carhop?!?!? What's that? Oh wait...I'll just look it up on wikipedia

[gazovbolton07]

@gajda1984 oh god damn soooo TRUE

[horsesflu]

@gajda1984 Basically, what you're describing is the modernization of [crass] commercialism. It's easy to look back on the past with rosy glasses on. We're no worse or better today, than we were yesterday. 

[gajda1984]

@horsesflu Yeah you are right, though music and pop culture had a lot more class to it than it does today. Music actually took a little more talent on the musicians part. It's hard to find any pop "artist" today that can play an instrument as well as pop artists from the 60s or 50s could. Of course that is my opinion. Someone else might disagree. But to me, most of all artist can do today is shake their ass's, scream or talk shit. Music had much more class back then, to me.

[gajda1984]

@horsesflu I believe music took a downfall in after the 70s decade got on it's feet.

[zitalee2]

@horsesflu yeah, the way older people talk crap about my generation makes me feel inferior, i like old and new music and not all teenagers are the same, i know some real hard working kids my age, I'm one of them. it's not smart to lump us all into a category and basically call us bad just because we're a little different from the previous generations.

[dougiefresh135]

@gajda1984-what you wrote was so profound, and so true!!!!



[au05232003]

@gajda1984 good times in deed....makes me miss something I was never even part of being that I'm only 26 haha!

[gajda1984]

@au05232003 I'm 26 as well, I know I missed something whenever I hear my parents who grew up in the 50s and 60s.

[wokeupthismorning100]

@gajda1984 Why settle for less? :D

[gajda1984]

50's and early 60s music is so happy! Just makes you want to get up and twist!

[kensingtonpalace]

ever since i was little iv wanted to know what the background singers are saying! love this song :)

[onyxbballer94]

smokey!!!!

[shnen2]

Is this song the original slow version before it was changed

[gen456789]

and then she said just

[atpcfi]

From time :10 to :20 there is a FORD Edsel. The car was named after one of old man FORDS children. The car turned out to be a flop in its day.

In today's world it would be worth $100,000.

Side note they filmed American Graffiti in Merced California.

[gen456789]

love this song would some body be able to tell ak47bandit to get yakty yak and speedo back on to you tube like the old ones that used to be on there

[46lowrider]

[shadyalien]

And we can tell you're "yung" by your crappy spelling! But take no offense. I'm glad that you like good music.  ;)

[CarlowMod]

Remember hearing this for the first time around 1984. An ace face played it at a house party. I was blown away.

[CarlowMod]

Keep your freedom for as long as you can now!

[magicpegasus81]

[Topacio325]

The Miracles were a great underappreciated Motown group. What a great song.:)

[Nemeses24]

Of the many things ever written about The Miracles, I don't recall 'underappreciated' ever being one of them. I think they're one of the few groups in music history that earned praise and respect from both listeners and other artists right from the time of when the group started making hits, all the way until the current time. Few groups have ever been as widely and lastingly appreciated.

[whispperson]

Great Song, Never heard this before.

[testusertestuser20]

awesome song :)
