I was about 12 when this came out and we use to dance to this!

[rickydeiter1]

This was a song we heard over and over in Nam and loved it... Reminded us that someday we would be 'Walking In The Grass' back home... Being from Wisconsin, I couldn't wait!! I made it home but many didn't; bless their souls!!

[Grunt6869]

@rickydeiter1 You got that right C-Company 1-12 4th Inf grunt 68-69

[RICHIELOVESAXWORLD1]

Always One of the Best...

[jimmyco1]

Hands down my favorite instrumental of the last 5 decades.

[Musicmania1968]

this was number one apparently the day I was born in USA charts, although not familiar with song. Maybe cause I am in UK.

[Shadowmib]

This was #1 the week I was born.

[DrummerDave77]

@Shadowmib Me Too - July 27th!

[veganjohn]

Damn - this is the song that was #1 in America the week I was born ~ very fun! What a great song ~

[MarshalI94]

Needs more cowbell

[janjuliusalbert]

@MarshalI94 : o i absolutly agree more cowbell

[rgtowns]

@janjuliusalbert I gotta have more cowbell.

[rgtowns]

@MarshalI94 I have a fever and that fever is for more cowbell.

[OjaysReel]

Aaaah. Anyone who's ever herded livestock knows the triumphs and melancholies twined in the experience. This song captures it like papparazzi cameras capture Kardashian's ass(ets)

[AGoodJudgeofTalent]

@OjaysReel

I have a fever. And the only thing that can cure that fever is MORE COW BELL

[DaysOfPineAndRoses]

If you attended Springfield College and listened to the basketball games on WSCB, you will recognize this song.

What great days those were.

[keithtyler1100]

I was in the eighth grade and that was a jam !!! And those were some of the best times in my life....how wish that I could relive those days..

[MadeInAmerica66]

NOW THATS COW BELLS PEOPLES!

rhcp wish they had this kind of talent...

[lmorrisonification]

I got a Hugh Masekela fever, and the only cure is more cow bell!!!

[mkl62]

A #1 hit for Hugh Masekela on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 171st #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Top 40 charts. I did have this on an LP, 20 Explosive Hits, by 20 Original Stars on K-Tel Records. I don't know what happened to the album, though. I bought it because one of my favorite songs was on it; In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry.

[richardmbowman]

Classic! Superb performance by a classy artist. There ARE some great trumpet performances out there (other than the great Miles Dewey Davis), and this is one of them.

[10Dec1971]

I love this song. I'm only 39 so wasn't even born yet when it came out. My mom or dad (not sure which one) had the 45 of this song.

1 person stepped on a cow pie,

[KarmaRainbows95]

[ChronicGod420]

How about Blazin' The Grass?

[rocknrolldaddio]

The cowbell is a real man's instrument!

[bill291212]

the cowbell rocks!

[Fantagurlful]

My mom played this song a lot when I was little. Nice song.

[bufordvideo1]

More cowbell! - great song!

[mxpmw]

Thanks for posting, I was born this year and this is one great song.

[1Mellodee]

I was 7 years old when this came out, but I remember it-good post!

[flowerbellbottoms]

hands down, this is the better version of the song "grazing in the grass", period!!!!

[chkjns]

@flowerbellbottoms You bet it's better, I just dumped my other version for this on my 1968 playlist of 115 songs. within my channel's 700 music playlists are 112 lists for every year since 1900 - your time tunnel back to the great tunes of any past year! chuck

[TheBach2rock]

Great song. Since I was a kid I'd picture in my mind cows dancing to this song out in the field. Shaking their booties to make their bells clang. Would make a great commerical for milk, cheese etc. Happy cows.

[Tiffonique]

@TheBach2rock It sure would and you should pitch the idea :)

[selffless1]

@TheBach2rock LMAO "Shaking their booties " haha thumbs up!

[ezziboo]

@TheBach2rock Now I can't get that visual out of my head :)

[kookoo78]

@TheBach2rock Eh, needs more cowbell :-)

[krkincaid]

@kookoo78you can never have too much cowbell

[ruffhouse79]

This is the Jam! I love the sound of the trumpet playing:)

[chocomama16]

[WSenator1]

summer of '68 - fine young ladies in halter-tops, especially this one that I had a tremendous crush on. This song playing in the background. I can still smell the barbecue. Thanks for the post! (BTW - the song's great, too)

[chkjns]

@WSenator1 Added this to my 1968 playlist. My channel's a musical time interface of 111 playlists for every year since 1900, come step back into 1968 for 4 hours with my playlist for that year!
