Orleans - Still The One (with lyrics)

[krakkken666]

I really feel sorry for kids in the last 12 years of modern music because we still here songs like this on the internet, radio, tv, ads, and a ton more of media sources. Kids today will not get that opportunity mainly because todays music is made to be disposable and the real music between 65 to 82 has lasted for over 50 years and will last much longer. Unfortunatly the common source is that between those years the artists controlled the music back then and not the producers of today.

[VictorYong36]

5 dislikes are from Eddie McGuire.

[SueRomanowski]

brings back so many memories.....

Awesome. Loved it when it came out. I was a Senior in HS in 1976, met The still love of my life in 1977, and yes, She's Still The One. It's our story. Thanks, Donney

[smokinglittlepistol]

@docar6058 That is such a wonderful love. You're a fortunate man. I hope I am as lucky as you are. I only have 9 years:)

[HanzFreuden]

@docar6058 marital vows are never intended to be broken, is it such a surprise to still be married?

[adorablebelle]

Wow! This is about a long-lasting relationship. Love it.

[ladybluluv]

A best friend and I had this 45 back in the day and listened to it constantly. Brings back some good memories.

[MrChoddie1]

Totally LOVE IT!!! Rockin!!!!

[9tonite]

Awesome tune...great memories listening to this on the radio when I was a kid.

[jerryprofe]

Who can forget? This is a great tune!

[RandomMajin]

Love this song, way better then the shit today]

[smfletcher1944]

Had no idea this was recorded by a bunch of Yankees, could've have come straight out of the South....just awesome!

[EdisonPT]

Can't wait 'till the day I'll get to truly understand the words behind such a classic.

[NYhomewrecker]

The dual guitar riffs would make any southern type rocker proud.

[eclipse7fun]

This song just makes me smile all over.

[gemdavey]

Bring back this kind of music! Music from today sucks!!

[andrew1972able]

[DaveLaRoxxx]

I love this jam!

[particlewaveduality1]

this song reminds me of living in arkansas when clinton was govenor ironically this was in the movie 'primary color' with john travolta and kathy bates

[thecoolestdad]

why did the song pause for a few short seconds?

[djtoonice100]

why cant they make music like this anymore

[Juliaflo]

@djtoonice100 In about four reasons:

1. No talent.

2. No talent.

3. No talent.

4. No talent.

Any other questions? Happy New Year.

[JoeSClevland]

@Juliaflo Or because the majority of people don't care about what good music sounds like and because artists can get away with making shitty music and still make millions. It's quite a sad world today with music...hence the reason why I listen to Metal and hardcore shit....but i always can respect oldies such as this song.

[Mystica245]

I LOVE THIS SONG BEEN JAMMIN TO IT SINCE 1976 -DAMN I WAS 16 CHASING CHICKS AND PARTYING LIKE A BIG DOG MAN I LOVE IT

Ha........the 70's, great times, great songs, great moment! Thanks for the memories

[StevieB1362]

Right on with that gutteral trash. If I may embellish, "Gutteral White Trash !" What they call talent is nothing more than a bunch of self aggrandizing wannabes.

[trdidion]

@StevieB1362 dude its not just music, it seems like everythings going down the tubes these days

[bearmassaro]

Git up & dance! Who cares if you're alone in the house! Dance with the dog if you have to!

[CelticLady44]

I used to play this song for my sweetie when we were first together. Know what, we're still playing along to it. Yep, its been 35 years and He's still the ONE!

[jammergirl88]

@CelticLady44 you're a lucky person to have a faithful person in your life....

[roquefortfiles]

I hear this song and it takes me back to a world that was normal and i could understand. Good times and no bigger concern than getting a beer and laid on a Friday night. The world seems crazy now. I feel like crying!!

[ultraroadmap]

As a 70's dude, I can tell you that this song represented the fun and memories of that decade like no other among the young and old of that time...and I mean people 5 to 65 loved this song!!!

[slp12s]

this is REAL music!!!!  All these songs are the absolute best!!

[cait1551]

3 people are no longer the one

[ashleysedona02]

@cait1551 LOL!

[HanzFreuden]

@cait1551 way to go captain original

[conan250]

what the person above me said XXXXXX10

[IronJustice08]

this song reminds me of Chevy, KFC, and All State Insurance.

[brooklyn6times]

I really love this 1976 hit by Orleans. I sang this song as a kid. ABC made a lot of commercials with this song when they were dominating the television ratings from the late 1970's all the way to 1980. This song still has the magic and will always have the magic!

[bigworld3001]

Love it, love it love it!!! Wish someone could post a live version!!

[ShadoeRedd]

@bigworld3001

There are live versions on YouTube, just search for Still The One Orleans.

[RockerChic9178]

I'm only 15 but my dad and mom's music has had an huge influence on me (Billy Joel, The New Radicals, Rick Springfield, Supertramp, etc) and I just rediscovered this song and WOW. Although I also like today's music (teeny-bopper and a few rap songs), I can actually feel the soul in this song. This is a song I'd wanna belt in the car (if I had one). It's soulful and true, unlike most music today.

[ThePwhite96]

i was born in the wrong generation :( boo rap

[0RandomProductions]

@ThePwhite96 lol agreed. how old are u? im 14 >.< fucking 2000's suck lolz

[70zkidz]

☮ we were here ☮

[Mick5624]

I totally agree with the coolest dad. Songs in the 70's were much more creative, despite the fact that the money had a big influence already.Just listen to the f***ing autotune in almost every hitsong!

[tomcamp6023]

Love the lyrics. I made up half of them. Song still sounded the same. lol. Instead of changing . I thought it was Jane are love is unrehearst. Sounded good to me.

[tomcamp6023]

Love the lyrics. I made up half of them. Song still sounded the same. lol

[deangelomywayentfan]

Ernie Anderson: "Still The One ABC"

[DaddySinister]

Great song and I'll always associate this song with the ABC network in 1976 showing their new fall line up.

[Roxidrake445]

this was our song 25yrs ago and is still the one

[barristerwolf]

This song enjoyed number one on both the pop and country charts. You go Orleans!

[Altara33606]

I love this...much better than 'Shania', lol. Original is best!!

[omarbahrour]

I'm drunk, this track is awesome.

[akretowicz]

All I can say is oh the memories this song brings back. Summer of 76. I was 16 and having a ball with life! Thanks for posting.

[mike62857]

Still wouldn't trade the music of the 70's for any other era !

[ILBT57]

@mike62857 Right on, Brother!

[blackandtanful]

デビュー時､日本では"ｵﾙﾘﾝｽﾞ"と呼んだ､骨太南部ﾊﾞﾝ­ﾄﾞを"ﾀﾞﾝｽ･ｳｨｽﾞ･ﾐｰ"ﾋｯﾄが逆にダメにした､B­面ラストに長尺ｽｹﾞｰﾛｯｸﾅﾝﾊﾞｰがあった!!

[GamingGuru21]

@blackandtanful あなたは、どういう意味ですか？

[MySeds]

This was one of my favorites in high school,I graguated 1977.I met my wife in 1983 and after 26 years of marriage,it say it all!

[AaronFootball28]

Good ole' 70's

[beautifulsarah100]

Looks like 2 people aren't the one.

[cwsw24]

amazing!!

[mxsfinest]

I dont care how old this is,I love it!!! And I KNOW that 20 years from now it will still be the perfect song for that wonderful woman in my life.

[onewiththorns]

Great dance song!

[thecoolestdad]

songs like this will never die out.These type of songs are classic and are always right on time.However,this generation of music,may be the one generation of music that great songs like this will never fit into,because these songs were written and performed by talented musicians and not the gutteral trash that is coming out these days.These songs from the 70's andeven the 60's are timeless and can never be touched or outdone.

[southroncross]

@thecoolestdad  Amen, brother. Amen.

Everytime I turn on the classic rock stations, it makes me long for the '60s, '70s, and '80 even more.

[thecoolestdad]

@southroncross It does to me too.I can't imagine being a teenager or in my 20's in this day and time.The music is horrible and I don't even call it music.I have two daughters 17 and 20 and they know a lot of my music.One daughter has a lot of 80's stuff on her I Pod and they both know the good stuff.However I guess because they are young some stuff does appeal to them from this generation.But thankfully not rap.They both listen to a lot of Christian music too which makes me happy.

[southroncross]

@thecoolestdad My youngest brother and sister listened to the music I did when they were very young. They still have an appreciation for it, while at the same time, finding artists from their own time that they like. I guess thats all we can ask, isn't it?

[thecoolestdad]

@southroncross yeah you're right.My brother and 2 sisters grew up in the 60's and 70's as I did and luckily they like the same stuff as I do,with a few exceptions.I don't care for country but the 2 sisters do some.me and brother rock out but I listen to a good bit of southern gospel,black gospel and praise & worship music too.My daughters and I are musicians at our church so we are influenced by our church music too.So we have a good variety but my roots are 60's 70's 80's.

[southroncross]

@thecoolestdad I grew up listening to classic country and bluegrass. Its what my parents listened to, and, they gave me a great love for both. I picked up classic rock from older cousins, and, I got into jazz like Coltrane and Metheny in college. My oldest brother turned me onto very early alternative (REM, dBs, etc) while he was attending UNC. I come from church-going folks as well, so, that music is as big a part of my faith as the Bible. He gave us a great gift with music, didn't He?

[thecoolestdad]

@southroncross That is so true.I also grew up listening to the old country stars from the 50's and 60's.I played drums in rock bands in the 70's and 80's so I gravitated to that more than country as a teenager.I'm 52 now my brother is 50 and sisters are46 & 48.Good time to grow up.

[racqi92]

I know that this song doesn't seem like a typical "romantic" song, but I honestly think this is one of the most romantic songs ever. The whole idea of someone still thinking you are the most amazing person after being together for so long is beautiful and rare, especially with all of the people getting divorced now a days. It gives me hope that I'll find someone who will adore me forever and that it won't just be a phase! :) Thanks Orleans! lol

[jbearot8]

This is still a great song! Still the one I love to send to my husband of 40 years. :-)

[krystlerita]

IIRC, Bush Jr. used this song during one of his campaigns

John Hall, a staunch Democrat, didn't take too kindly to that and stated quite clearly that he had not given Dubya permission to use it, and it was promptly yanked

Ironically, McCain also tried it in 2008, with similar results

I don't think he made much mention of Ted Kennedy's use of it though (hee hee)

[1ounascarfan]

This is our song.  Still the one since 1972!

[MrNicholas132]

great song, but did anyone else have the little circle at the top left at 1:43?

[Tacomadome24]

@MrNicholas132 Yes; you're not on drugs I saw the same! LOL

[MrNicholas132]

great song, but did anyone else have a little circle at the top right at 1:43

[jonasbrothersrox100]

i love this song and im 17 and this is still awesome!!!

[SolarTrail]

Excellent job on this video...

[dvrmte]

This song  is my life I have been marred 31 years aug. of this year. And my husband is still the one.love it.

[pokenhorn]

How sweet it is !  What is the crap they keep fouling today's airways with ?? This, and DANCE WITH ME by the same group....wow. Great stuff.

[1stpastorswife1958]

takes me back to when I was a junior in high school. love it

[MrPoopoobreath]

@1stpastorswife1958 LOL

[1stpastorswife1958]

@MrPoopoobreath

Great song. Perfect for my anniversary of 32 years!

[ladybluluv]

Yeah, this was my FAVORITE song back then as a young teen for quite a while : ) So good to hear it again! We played that 45 endlessly.

[ladybluluv]

Yeah, this was my FAVORITE song back then as a young teen for quite a while : ) So good to hear it again!

[auti34]

i was in 4th grade when this song came out it was one of my faviote then styill is

[newscaster13]

ABC rewrote the lyrics and changed the beats for the 1977-78 campaign, and again for the 1979-80 season.

This was to reflect that ABC was the network to watch back in the late 1970s.

ABC was hot with existing hits like Happy Days, Charlie's Angels, Welcome Back Kotter, Starsky and Hutch, etc.

ABC was even more hotter with newcomers like The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Hart to Hart, etc.

Monday Night Football and Wide World of Sports made the sports division #1, along w/primetime shows

[CaramelCamel]

Makes me think of a carnival in the summertime, eating ice cream with the one you love

ah! <3

[ropewoman]

Broken heart

[littlewilma22]

My cousin had this on a 45. He would bring that and "Another One Bites the Dust" and we would listen to them for hours.

[MsShel67]

This song never fails to bring a smile!

[Ricine]

Can't believe the songs I grew up with are now oldies! Wait 'til it happens to you. It'll freak you out!!

Hope you always have someone in your life that you can sing this song to.

[Ieatpaste23]

@Ricine Tell me about it. I learned I was old when i heard Tesla on the classic rock station.

[beautifulsarah100]

@Ricine Ha ha - yeah, and then there's that country song (can't remember the title) where they say, "When did Motley Crue become classic rock?" Wow, time flies.

[oheady6531]

After 30 years of marriage this is the song I play for my wife on every one of our anniversaries

[bucky468]

Rumor has it that Michael Nesmith of Monkees fame auditioned to be in Orleans either before or after they made it huge here.

[78src78]

High school memories...:)

[theresabclayton]

In the last half of the seventies I used to request this song every time I was out and about and DJ's were employed to make the song choices...LOVED THIS SONG so much that one DJ got so sick of me, he gave me the 45 (I made him autograph it)

[giglisawblade]

just a great tune, always makes me smile :)

[giglisawblade]

just a great song

[TheGrandeMartini]

Always thought this was from steely dan, is there a reason for my confusion?

[BlaineFan25]

@TheGrandeMartini It happens, I've come across a few songs that I thought was someone else like "All For You" by Sister Hazel. For the longest I thought it was Blues Travelers

[er6789er]

Thank you for this amazing post - I Love you man!

[ross7730]

this its to Bonnie in Va Beach,rogues Galley hpe u still the one 1974

[alexwolffhottie]

Nice Song <33

[ross7730]

[humanzoo69]

still the one --love my girl so rock on""

[mscongeniality1966]

I don't know about the Dynasty years, but know ABC or CBS used it as their network song for awhile!

[FoulOwl]

@mscongeniality1966 I think it was ABC that used this song.I remember it on the TV when I was a kid.You know,back when we were lucky to get three channels.

[theproperwhy]

one person is gunna die alone

[curvy71]

i always think of my hubby when i hear this song.we have been together 16 years.

[TheAithWONDER]

I like to thank Ms. Miller who taught @ Washington elementary in Danville, IL. She introduced me to rockn roll. I will love this song forever. It was there that I trully learned that music is the Universal language.

[lolwut71]

Edmonton Oiler Fans...didn't they play this all the time in the Dynasty Years of the 80s??

[AK47Music]

@lolwut71 It was their official theme for their 1987 Stanley Cup run, They played it everytime they scored a goal at home (Northlands Coliseum, now Rexall Place in Edmonton). During the 7th game of the Cup Finals, the place went apeshit when Oiler winger /Hall Of Famer Glenn Anderson scored to make it 3-1, one of the most dramatic goals in Cup Finals history, they went on to win the series and the joy of sipping champagne from Lord Stanley's Mug

Edmonton Oilers - 1987 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!

[BlueEyedBaby12]

Im throwing my parents a surprise 30 year anniversary party, and Im using this song for a CD im making for it

[Maitreyafication]

simply thanks for this post I needed it

[xExystancex]

This is why I wanted to live in the sixties and seventies <3

[mustang73ism]

@xExystancex There were so many great bands back then, it was mind boggling when you think of it. I guess when you look back your realize you took it for granted.

[Knight2you]

@xExystancex I did, and I'd give anything to do it all over again. I don't hear anything today that comes close to the music of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. One thing, you have most all of it here.

[icecold99]

gay

[lolwut71]

@icecold99  it makes you happy...good to hear.

[keandray12]

this song always sets a good mood in my presence & im always thinking of someone special too as well as that this song has a good catchy beat to

[nicconley]

Remember when this song was the pitch song for ABC?

[GHLIII]

That she is, that she is ...

[zacattack500]

never heard of these guys until i looked up the song on youtube. youtube is great

[MrMotownmanny]

In 1978, ABC television network used this song as part of their promos for their shows. Greta song

[LogoAttitude]

@MrMotownmanny Ironically, ABC Records had dropped the band from their roster a few years back

[DawnsDayDreams]

This song Still~Rocks~ after all these years! ;D

[MTCatman]

Thanks! Used to have this record and lots of memories there!

[Yourmomisnthere]

Did Nan Hayworth play this song last Tuesday?

Is that Freedom Rock, man?
