[MrClarkGable]

Great song, heard it on the way home from training where I managed to rip tendons in my finger and this song just cheered me right up!!! :D

[SBCguy72]

[Fyropyro420]

You hear me toking, but you cant come in.

[MonacoBlast]

OH Jesus! I almost gave up trying to find this exact recording.

Thank you Jesus. Now Fuck Off.

[BeastLingo42]

The chorus plays in my head when the Mormons and Jehova's Witnesses come around.

[RAGGMUNKoFLASK]

@BeastLingo42 thumbs up!

[LJBroussard]

@BeastLingo42 : LOL and rock on!

[stuka52]

He was holding a can of "Boy Howdy" beer...cool!

[hollyherrickxx]

[615dnb]

[streetcat93]

I Just Took A Shit To This Song... I'm Not Being Offensive, Just Thought I'd Share

[davidanimator1]

@streetcat93 I hear you takin' a dump but you can't come in. I hear you takin' a dump, but you can't come in.

[davidanimator1]

@streetcat93 I hear you takin' a dump, but you can't come in; I hear you takin' a dump, but you can't come in.

[TheNikola997]

omg :D this song is in my english book (im from serbia) they just made other version and it sounds retarded :D

[longjonwhite]

Fuck me ...This is nice and LOUD... Let's Rock then! Edmunds and Lowe are fuckin Bosses. Just heard the crackle at the end . That's the secret, upload the vinyl

[MrNodrog1954]

still got this on a 45 but not , played it for year,s . Remind ,s me of my old disco day,s

[KREEPNASTY1]

This is the best audio quality ( volume wise ) I've heard on youtube to date.

[problem49]

Dave is a true rocker and guitar hero, no question.

[KREEPNASTY1]

Groovy number Dave.

[heavymetal929292]

do you fuckers know how fucking heavy this song is????? FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!

[Msjanismile]

Here's my version I hate you knockin and I wont let u come in ;P

[cindyshealed]

Knock and the door will be opened!

[csbailee67]

Love this song, and love Dave Edmonds version, he's great.

[vwvendulka]

Thanks Lord!! I've been searching fot his song for years. :D I heard it at the readio a only remember the rhytm of the music and no lyrics... And now, finally, by chance a found it... Let's dance and sing! ? :D

[TheDukeljk]

Worst fucking song ever.

[Alikah1]

@TheDukeljk The only reason you're saying that is that you haven't heard the Gale Storm version!

[Stentor7]

@Alikah1 Sorry, but the Fats Domino version is superior to the Gale Storm version. She has this tendency to clip her syllables when she should draw them out during the lyrics. Fats sings it lazy and slow like it's supposed to be sung. Dave sings it fast but he still knows how to elongate. Gale just skips through it really strangely, elongating in some places and clipping in others where it would sound better to draw it out.

[Stentor7]

@TheDukeljk I think there are many other songs much more deserving of that title. Dave Edmunds at least has some appreciable talent. What about 99 Luft Balloons? That one blows chunks as far as I'm concerned.

[Jericoa1000]

give me a bottle of TJ Swan, and Washington Park in Portland Ore, and I am back to when music was music. lol

[71POPPA]

@Jericoa1000 OMG! I HAD TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE SWAN...WE HAD IT IN RURAL IOWA AS WELL!

[MoneyGuitar]

frick i love this song!!!!!!!!!! ♥!!!!!!

[AlienBeliever897]

Such a strange song, yet so Awesome!!

[muvitup1]

This is one of the few gems, like say Bang a Gong or Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo that you've heard for decades and when it pops up on a classic rock station you still say YES!!

[jessiechevy]

6 people need to go back where thyve been!!!!

[Guy4755]

I'm thinking he looks a bit like Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap, or is it the other way around? Which isn't a bad thing, it just is.

[thesuperstupot]

A few comments on getting this track on cd, I have it on a various artists compilation called The Cool Sound of the 70's.

Album title sums it up really....

[detonate56]

Ah, 1970 - pool rooms , flipper machines and Dave cranked up to the max.

[Gunfighter200077]

@6969jezza u mean kurt cobain looks like him lol

[DjeffDjeff]

when your down this will always lift you up!

[Wildthing208]

i adore this song

[michaelj161]

[Tokopol]

[comragh]

[GeddyYeti2112]

[kathyagnew64]

[mcona383]

UNREAL



[felinefreddie]

You can't get much cooler than this!

[reggaeman1956]

brilliant ,, better than all the cpies done since ""

[hoonstunes]

I just thought how I love this song so much I'd let it be played at my funeral and then I thought my parents might not find that too great ooooo irony....

[tommieparch]

when this song was released, it was the hardest rock song on a.m radio , even tho they cut the song in half. the vocals were tryin to mimic early 50s./even tho it sounds more like WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL, check it out.

[kaybea]

very very cool cover,

[Queenjojomojo]

This song makes me wanna dance XD I'm 15, but I love oldies. The new songs kind of... suck. And lack originality.

[TheBugsbunny97]

@Queenjojomojo i know thATs rite

[shawnofmetal]

@Queenjojomojo i agree

[jacobscamera]

@Queenjojomojo I agree, Im 11

[jacobscamera]

[michaelj161]

[Queenjojomojo]

@michaelj161 No I don't know. Sorry :(

[HBMAN665420]

@michaelj161 this version i've never heard of a cd with it, I hace a tape with it on it, but thats all I can ever seem to latch onto is tapes.

[njcrox]

3 people want to come in. or in their case, come out ;)

[Dolby3d]

His voice sounds different and that makes him pronounce i hear you knocking very cool. love the song

[fejkram]

3 dislikes give yourself's a triple uppercut....

[chevy70girl]

I got dressed to this song when it first came out going to school when I was a young girl>>>

[ripper58]

Black bill...........great album scratches and all

[pacnaz]

Vinyl Rules...Its making a comeback!!

[TheSteelhead15]

The quality rocks I love the old white noise/record sound

[Medicinecloud]

..found it !!!!..but ohhhh..the sound quality..so unfortunate...could be re-done??..how is it again..digitally re-mastered???

[AllBobsAllTheTime]

Ya gotta Dave name-checking all the old rockers during the guitar break.

[09bnunez]

hes from england...grow up listening to american rock ...u hear inthis song his favorite singers

[huwwill61]

He's from Wales not England!

[TheIfranklin9]

@adamsApple1963

either that or knocking on heavens door. Theres a whole line of jokes that could be done with doors and songs on doorbells. :D

[MimiRedShoes]

the lovely bones 1973:)

[MimiRedShoes]

the lovely bones :)

[420420dave]

When itake my ax out this is the frist song i do

[REDEYE420CHRONIC]

:)

[Sunydown18]

I first thought that at least some of the time in this song he sings, "I hear you love him", which would be interesting. Listen to it!

[TheIfranklin9]

I would love this song as my doorbell. I think that would be awesome. :D

[AdamsApple1963]

@TheIfranklin9 Lol! That and "Keep-a-Knockin'" by Little Richard!

[marcuscato]

First record I ever bought

[brilliantico]

Feb.1971, Disco in Felixtowe, UK, very first Girlfriend, very first Dance!

EVERYTHING Rocked... and this Record STILL does!!

[BlackHallow55]

Looks like 2 people weren't let in.

[legalboxers]

@BlackHallow55 you mean 6

[Iamwolf134]

@BlackHallow55 beiber tards?

[streetcat93]

@BlackHallow55 I Love This Music, But God Forbid We Have Our Own Opinion... Who Cares If They Don't Like It They Probably Wack Off To Pictures Of Justin Bieber

[TheIsay21]

Yes



[busessuck1]

I dislike his voice and the audio quality... but I don't dislike the songs, it's a good cover

[PocoPortillo]

@busessuck1

It sounds like a bull horn he is singing through.I felt it gave it an old AM radio feel.

[busessuck1]

I dislike his voice... but not enough to dislike the song



[clarkbell]

Damn... which do I miss more Houston in the 70's or Philly in the 70's

[qprhooligan]

Shitty audio quality

[CarbonRainMaker]

@qprhooligan dude. it's supposed to sound like this.

[HBMAN665420]

@qprhooligan this is the best version of the song, it was recorded before the regular version.

[bucky468]

This is NOT the full album version of the song. There is a 5:19 version of the song that's on the compilation titled "Complete Seventies - Various Artists" that was put out by the EMI label in 2005 & I think is now rare & out of print. The longer 5 min plus version is extremely hard to find.

[HBMAN665420]

@bucky468 I got it on a tpae, its awesome, jammin out to it goin 120+ down the road.

[Soilder2ndClassGunny]

Awesome! \w/

[MyBino123]

gooooood

[Flounsy]

I'm 13 and I loveeee this

[jazzie882010]

love this tune xx

[smittyboy13]

Can anyone tell me at the 129 sec part after he says Chuck Berry what name does he say? Thanks

[mikenatterjack525]

@smittyboy13 Huey Smith? This would probably be Huey "Piano" Smith, US R&B pianist, born 26/1/1934.

[smittyboy13]

@mikenatterjack525 Thanks, Sorry to hear that though all these years I thought he was saying my name Gary Smith and wondered why. lol

[sucker4skoalrings]

This song was the best part of Moonlight Mile...except JG of course :)

[bgfootlover2]

This song has a little bit of a rockabilly vibe that I always loved all the way back to when I was 8 in '71

[eVilTWIN691]

one person is knockin on my door

[NoobShredder]

@eVilTWIN691 Dont let him in

[prrrrecious]

song's got attitude :)

[KStealed]

[KStealed]

@KStealed he is from wales you ignorant

- well ... god just drown america ^^

[prrrrecious]

@KStealed LOL Damn!

[KStealed]

@prrrrecious save you too ... and all those with sense of humour <3

[clarkbell]

ACME

[rbertagopetah13]

I love the hell out of this song!

[Runrome]

The BNP or UKIP should adopt this song as their anthem

[bobstupidface]

this tune kicks ass

[Labaron26]

Im not a Dave Edmunds fan, but this version and his one of "Born to be with You" are tops in guitar sound....

[KstewMania12]

@MaCirillo that's where I heard it and now I can't get it outta my head!!!!

[jrm2fla]

GREAT music - a classic - every man got soul! Dave E and Nick Lowe ... yeah

[hotplaylist]

If you check out Lennon Remembers (Book) , he name checks this song as being one of the best things out back then, - about 1970 'ish. - He wasn't far wrong..

[BaronSalsa]

I HEAR YOU KNOKIN! ^o^

[MaCirillo]

THE LOVELY BONES SOUNDTRACK <333333333

[welme23]

@MaCirillo Indeed

Did you read the book to perhaps?

The movie, the songs in the film and especially the book is/are awesome.

[MaCirillo]

@welme23 I don't like to read, but I'm reading TLB, because I loved so much the movie, so the book must be amazing too! :{)

[TheLyricsPlease]

Listening to this right now :) I'm a 14 year old girl with a older South African mom and British dad.

[shasher00]

perfect tune.



[shasher00]

[HalfFastChevy]

Great song, huh? Check out the original Smiley Lewis version.

[hanjomorren]

[andradamotzi]

[jazzyow]

[ihavenokegson]

I just leave this song on repeat when I want to be left alone.

From outside, all you can really hear is the chorus.

They get the point eventually.
