Mac Davis....'.Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me'..1972.. W/Lyrics

[MrMreas]

freaks and geeks brought me here <3, greatest show ever

[rosebuddy47]

great song and a message that more people should heed if he does not want you--don't let him use you for sex and throw you to the curb only to do it to the next gal!!!

[basicaa]

Mac Davis was one sexy hunk. I always used to get hooked on the wrong guy. No more -- found my Mr. Right and been married to him for 18 years.

[kathyrambo003]

i love the old sh*t

[mkal80]

Muppets season 5 episode 14 mac devis AWESOME:)

[choosing2lookeast]

The line about "I'll just use you and set you free.." ACK. That should be a warning to the gal to get the heck out of there!

[fabfamily2009]

@choosing2lookeast or just shut up bitch and do what i tell u to do

[billsgwn]

Cant believe this is the same guy who played the tough QB in the classic movie North Dallas Forty.

[geerterri]

@billsgwn Why not? 

[kd5hms63]

This mega hit by Mac Davis put him into superstardom!

[thomass666100]

Early to mid-70's (just up the road in Idaho Falls, shanynay123), the ultimate bad-boy seduction song. It worked! :-)

[kathyneely1]

love the video



[shanynay123]

This song brings back memories of growing up in the 70s in Blackfoot Idaho. I am still hooked on the 70s.

[ozshrew]

Been a huge fan since i was young, loved his Mac Davis Show, anyone remember the bear?

[stoned1957]

@ozshrew that would biff the purple bear

[fish1648]

the first time i heard this song was from blane larson liked that verson but i love this verson

[Licmycat]

That's what young women should learn about men.....

[Razorzzful]

Remember he had his own show.



[warmsquirrelturd]

Hard to believe this song is nearly 40 years old. I still love it!

[HANKROCKIN61]

I love Mac Davis

[sydney6565]

i can relate to this!

[greysky65]

I first heard this song when I was 7 years old, brings back memories.

[anye76]

well heck at least he told her

[hunterdog62]

Great Job! I remember this song growing up and on the turntable!

[nasyril89]

howard wolowitz brought me here

[JCS954]

@nasyril89 lol me too!!

[gengisjon]

@nasyril89 I say l'chaim to that geeky bastard

[adrianlydon]

he sounds just like him

[ginadurrett71]

Playa..

[jggal66]

Classic Mac...

[hirdy6]

Matt Davis must have been on incredibly good terms with himself, this and 'It's hard to be humble', egotist much?

[SigfridsTardis]

@hirdy6 a bit of a comedian.

[ac45green]

@hirdy6 Matt davis might have been I wouldn't know but Mac Davis is only singing a song.

[hirdy6]

@ac45green I noticed I'd made that typo after I'd posted it, but it didn't seem that important, these things matter to you do they? How sad. My point, which obviously went screaming over your head due to your incredible, side splitting, comedic efforts, was that he actually wrote both songs and that there were similarities in the style of them. So you see? He wasn't 'only singing', obviously way too cerebral for a flog like you.

[tallbeauty]

Man, I heard this song for the first time while working at KMart in 96, no lie. LMAO!

[charmjac68]

yep I hear ya on falling for the wrong one....

[mtndewgirl62]

i really like this song, i always have.

[TheKraut59]

This used to be my ex favotite song I was the one got hooked on her and she left me 15 years later

[teresasheeks]

@TheKraut59 wow sorry

[sharbearize1]

strange dont get hooked on you but if you gant have me you dont want know one so be friends. i knew it.sad.

[keystone49]

Great song! He was also great in the movie North Dallas Fourty!

[wj5mjk]

icy

[melNty777]

very nice slides

[robinaslup00]

I love 70s music but this one crosses the line from nostalgic to just plain icky.

[MultiPrkr]

great job with this great classic! thank you anippygirl.

[NickInDetroit]

I love Max Davis music.. I wish it would get more air time on oldie radio.

[emoemamokai]

Memories floodn back! 

[calicocat453]

a month has gone by and now I can see it just wasnt meant to be, I have finally started to let go, and I only cry once in a while. Food has taste again. For all of you out there feeling this song, remember it will get better, HE WASN'T WORTH IT.

[stainyce230]

Why can i picture Cleveland from FG singing this

[sucraman2]

This is one of those songs that takes me back to my childhood (of the 70's), listening from the next room as my older sisters played their lps..

[cklover67]

EVERYBODY AND THERE BROTHER CAN INTERUPT LYRICS AND LISTEN TO THE QUOTE/UNQUOTE STORY BEHIND WHY THE SONG WAS WRITTEN. I FEEL I HAVE AN EASIER PHILOSPHY IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE SONG (GOOD OR BAD) THEN PUT IT IN YOUR HEART AND APPRECIATE WHAT IT TOOK TO GET IT FROM AN IDEA TO YOUR EAR. OR I JUST MAY BE SOME BITCH THAT UNDERSTANDS DREAMS AND WORK ETHICS YOU BE THE JUDGE.

[southport97]

mawkish and putrid fecal matter from the 70s

[Incomplete6230]

@ankhorite.You have a giant chip on your shoulder!! Go visit the wood shop or grow up!

[TheSheepdog98]

I can't bevile I'm related to him!!!

[calicocat453]

[unwindzen]

@calicocat453 I feel your pain!

[calicocat453]

@unwindzen

Thank you, I appreciate it, knowing someone understands me! tyty ;-)

[lotusesprit1981]

The greatest song ever about falling in love with "Mr. Wrong"

[sleepytimegalz]

@lotusesprit1981  agreed!!

[budbarker57]

@lotusesprit1981 h t t p://w w w.youtube.c om/watch?v=3G8Z6g1APlQ

[countrypicker1962]

Brings back a lot of good memories of the 70's! Miss them!

[bookie715]

I like your thinking roseanne :)

[bookie715]

I like your thinking roseanne :)



[Ankhorite]

One of the most offensive songs of the 1970s, promoting the Playboy philosophy of promiscuous men and abandoned women. Ptui!

Good voice, good tune, ghastly idea. I read that Mac Davis wrote this when his record company demanded a song with a "hook" in it. Hah!

Nice video, ANippyGirl, thanks, even if the lyrics give me hives. :)

[64g15csr]

oh yeah the days when a tranny was something you held to your ear LOL

[weightfeather1]

Girl, you're a hot blooded woman child, and it's warm where you're touching me. . . That's one line that I'll never forget and it's probably the poignant line Mac Davis ever wrote. This is one hell of a song!

[tarkan525201]

roseanne: use me ill set you on fire ya bastard

[momsher1]

Wow I remember this song when I was 13. Had all those wonderful 45s!

[jmscressey]

Here is more of the Austin Roberts common thread God bless!

[Virtuales2]

Awesome Video! Thank You!!!!!

[jaybreezy19]

this is one of the greatess songs ever

[jaybreezy19]

[Atmitchell2]

1974*

[505Wizard]

I am sick of the advertising at the beginning of the tunes.

[bossyboots55]

very sexy song. one of my fav. singers... Cnt forget the song he wrote for elvis...IN THE GHETTO.

[12966ful]

Great song. Brings back childhood memories back in the days of floor console am/fm record players. Back in Ambia,IN. Thanks Dad for buying me the 45 to this song.

[jerseystitch]

His only good song. And it is absolutely fantastic.

[bossyboots55]

@jerseystitch

INT HE GHETTO ...hE WROTE MANY BLOCKBUSTER HITS.

[johnparkimp3]

I sang this song to my 1st wife and she never took any notice of the words. Sadly we parted 3 kids and 12 years later. We're still friends though.

[momsher1]

Wow this brings back memories...of 45s and youth! LOL

[talkiepoo]

I listen to this song and it gets me thinking of this guy Bob that I wanted to spend time with, but he went elsewhere...but it still kinda makes me smile with sadness though when I hear this song.

[rocmaven]

Watseka Theatre Watseka IL has great concerts; July 2 Marty Stuart; July 15 The Bellamy Brothers; August 5 Josh Thompson; August 26 Ricky Skaggs; September 3 Jerrod Niemann.

[memmies]

[kimpalmerful]

Sweet Honesty

[jbibb66]

[mcory88]

Story of my life, chicks are crazy

[bensmum58]

@mcory88 Guessing the only thing obsessed with you is your hand ;)

[mcory88]

@bensmum58 Rosie Palmer and her four sister just won't leave me alone!

[talkiepoo]

Betcha your crazier...

[chuktuk]

Man, does this bring back memories, wow! Great song

[sassiegrl52]

To Kerry don't get hooked on me cause I will set you free.

[detroitlover1]

[MuSiClUvEr23100]

sad guy... lol-

[nodashley]

At least he letting her know what the deal is. As hard as it is sometimes!

[SUPERRFRFAN]

@poonus21 hate to break it to you hun, but this version sucks, ill give him credit for doing it first, but yaa no, and im not the one who has a terrible taste its you

[SUPERRFRFAN]

Rascal flatts version is better

[poonus21]

@SUPERRFRFAN

you have terrible taste.

[grmacdonald]

@SUPERRFRFAN nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[NPkam]

Turns out most of my favorite Elvis songs were written by Mac Davis.

[29jnits]

Howard Wolowitz got me here:P ♥BBT

[fnd111]

@29jnits Is Howard Jewish? FND

[KamilKaraali]

@29jnits me too :-) he really sings well, by the way..I mean, Howard :-)

[steben069]

@29jnits i was hoping someone mentioned howard lol

[jlilyroth12]

I was all of 14 and thought I had met the true love of my life....Eldon Smith. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to 1972.

[enastoyles]

now you tell me!!!!

[BeantownJim]

memories ty!

[63freebyrd]

yes, I caught this song reference....so cool

[pariskitt]

This song is a good one in a way...he is trying to say lets just have some fun..just like back in the 60's at least he is honest in the song....and it does have a catchy tune

[mikejohnson860]

i love this song it brings out the true heart in people today.

[sandowgal]

I was born in 71 & I can remember my mother playing this song ova & ova on her little 45lp record & I swore 2 myself that I would never ever listen 2 it again....but now I love it because it reminds me so much of her..MY MUM....

[normalnorman1]

Brilliant song and tune. Got to say Mac was a hell of a singer and songwriter. Hell, he had "In The Ghetto" and Elvis had a massive hit with that. Anyone who can let the King sing his song has to be a great guy. Of course "In The Ghetto" was a superb song and Elvis chose it in 1969. One of the best records Elvis recorded. Elvis 'got' what the song was about and conveyed it in his amazing style.

[msss22]

@normalnorman1 Damn! You said beyond a true mouthful there. Yes , "In The Ghetto" was/is a superb song and I agree with you about it being one of Elvis's greatest records.

[MrDean1962]

TYZWAIN that's soo funny!!! LMAO! LOVE THAT SHOW!

[MsDolphins17]

what a great song holy shit i was only6 yrs old when this song came out.man i feel so old know .im 43 holy shit how time goes by so fast

[badmanbob3]

old skool playa. game aint change, just the players.

[Glamagal20091]

I recall hearing this being played on the Dutch service of either Veronica or RNI during 1972.

[psnation365]

that was great, i was 9 when that came out, listened to those kind of songs on WIXY1260 here in cleveland. love it. thanks.

[Rosethethief]

This song fits my friend and I so well...

[Kelspeed1972]

I've made love to many lucky women while listening to this song. And I never caught the clap or gono.

[greenpilgrim50]

@Kelspeed1972 you probably never caught anything because you're lying...lucky women my foot...you should check out mac's song "Oh Lord it's hard to be humble"

[Kelspeed1972]

@greenpilgrim50 what the lucky women having a sexual session with me has to do with your foot is anyone's guess. i could probably so you a thing or two in the bedroom as well.

[greenpilgrim50]

@Kelspeed1972 doubtful but keep believing it buddy if it helps you get through life

[Kelspeed1972]

@greenpilgrim50 in your dreams!

[zabeel15]

Gosh I luv this song

[Samaritanable]

i call this a playboy song.

[JonKonLA]

Mac's appearing in Sherman Oaks, CA on Feb. 28, 2011 at Cafe Cordiale.

[miltonbimmer]

@JonKonLA Hi, that's today. I'm sending u this from Hong Kong. Are u going or have u already gone? Did Mac perform this great song? What was it like?

[JonKonLA]

@miltonbimmer Greetings from California. Not going but I saw Mac at the Grammy Museum recently. He was excellent.

[mnbrr]

wolowizard ftw

[SuperSteveJO]

I was 14 in '72 and the memories came flooding back Great !

[lgcountrygrl]

I fell in love with my FWB and it was always funny when this song came on the radio I would say that one day he would dedicate it to me. Well tonight he did and it Crushed me. How do I turn my feelings off so that I dont lose him completely? Ugh

[49sharyn]

thank you darl for this gem,sharyn

[Zippertheslipper]

Cool song from my senior year in high school, a classic. ;)

[miltonbimmer]

@Zippertheslipper So I guess we both were in hi school during the 70s. At any rate, this is 1 of my all time favorite songs. Super cool song indeed!

[skatescathy1]

I guess when this was sent to me it said it all. But I guess I should have know better. But that's ok my heart will heal.

[sissy92101]

I love this song its been along time since i heard it.

[Linda1018V]

MAC BACK IN THE DAY THIS WAS A HOT SONG. REMINDS ME OF MY MAN GEORGE.

[Idrogo100]

LOL LOVE THIS SONG LOL USE TO BE ME LMAO BUT THEN I MET MY BF AND IT TURNED ON ME LOL CUZ NO IM HOOKED!!!!! LMAO

[robaarm]

HAPPY 69 BIRTHDAY MAC

ROB

[DaveWollenberg]

Challenged to write a 'hook' song, this is what Mac came up with. Billboard's 319th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless!

[TheMyrafisher]

Singing w/ a hair brush kind of song. Def. Mac's best....

[billythedoggie]

i remebered going out with this girl alice..back in '72 and i kept telling her that i loved her very much...and whenever this song would come on the radio...she would tell me to listen to the words to this song back then i didn't listen to the words too much i would just enjoy the song when it was on when she finally told me she didn't love me..for once in my life..i should of listen to her when she said...listen to this song perhaps the hurts would not of been as much..when your 24 it hurts..

[blackforest270]

Im 50 single and met a 27 year old girl who digs my fibe,this song and Gary Puckett "Young Girl" keep ringing in my ears,what to do?

Whatever happens,happens, but i won't lie to anyone about anything..............

[blueticecho]

@blackforest270 Please.. Don't Do It ! This will end up making a FOOL out of you Trust me on this one..

[ShamWasBetter]

@blackforest270 Im half your age fucknuts,you cant keep up with pussy that young so go home and jerk off and leave the Clitoral stilizing to me the master of G spots and hairy twats.

[ShamWasBetter]

@blackforest270 Im 50 with a ten inch dick and a twelve inch tougue so send those two slutpuppys over here for some anal and clitoral stimulation.

[Saffron49]

@ShamWasBetter Then you need to have large notes wrapped around your 10 inch dick, and a wad of

thousands stapled to your tongue.

[ChicagoSouthDan]

@blackforest270 Dating a lady half your age works for male celebrities, but they usually have plenty of money to compensate for their lack of youth. That does not mean that attractive young ladies with men twice their age are golddiggers, but the young ladies seldom hook up with men who are twice their age and are just getting by financially or have average incomes. I wish you luck but unless you have a lot of money, be prepared for disappointment.

[devdesi]

Reminds me of the summer of "72" Crusin with my older brother in his Falcon Sprint

[heideggerm2]

Classic Mac Davis!

[tyzwain]

Big Bang Theory:

Howard: Turn left on Lake Street and head up to Colorado. I know a wonderful little sushi bar that has karaoke.

Penny: That sounds like fun.

Howard (sings): Baby, baby don’t get hooked on me. Uh, baby, baby don’t get hooked on me.

[DxxRxxB]

@tyzwain exactly why I am here ^_^

[Ragnaxi]

@tyzwain i'm here because i listened Howard sings to Penny

[mac5153]

Anybody have a video segment from the old Mac Davis show with Raymond Burr and Mac Davis as hobos around a fire with Mac singing "Good friends and fireplaces"? Probably aired in the early 1970's.

[BearStar1]

I always Loved This song for the Music and the Rhythm, .....

but just the opposite on the lyrics. The one true love of My Life,... I wanted so much for Her to get Hooked on Me as I was Hooked on Her for Life, but it never happened. So I'll go to my Grave always Loving her and wondering WHY things turned out the way they did ! ?

[letsgovladii]

Howard Wolowitz!!!

[haydos271]

@letsgovladii HOWARD!!!! THUMBS UP LETSGOVLADII'S COMMENT!!!!

[geor4569]

i love this song!

[captainpegs07]

9 people got used and set free.

[jam22eri]

this song is my wedding song

[tyzwain]

@jam22eri LOL!

[awhina2010]

Ooooooh the memories, they were the good ole days... hummmmmm

[ktbabydoll91]

i'll just use you and i'll set you free? that doesn't work for me buddy ;p

[imajeepster]

@ktbabydoll91 yeah, what a chauvinist song! lol

for all we know they've been dating for ten years!

[ChicagoSouthDan]

@ktbabydoll91 Hey, at least he warned her know ahead of time.

[ChicagoSouthDan]

@ChicagoSouthDan Whoops. I meant "warned her and let her know ahead of time"

[TodaywithRuthie]

i always loved this little song

@RuthieAppleby

[mikealan61]

My dad played a little guitar and loved this song back in the dad. I remember him singing this song to me and my sister with his acoustic guitar. What memories it brings back, especially now that he is gone is gone. Thanks for posting it.

[TodaywithRuthie]

We all love this !

@RuthieAppleby

[RedrooAU]

Another lost classic...Number one in Australia, he also wrote 'In The Ghetto' for Elvis which also went number one around the world...i don't think he needs to check his bank balance...

[bee52mitch]

If I ever win a Lotto or Sweepstakes I will definitely be donating at least 10% of it to the creators of YOU TUBE, The memories and feelings that these songs provide just simply cannot be paid for.

[BBQFanNo1]

@DrPhilsucksdicks Your sick. You are really one damn sick puppy.

According to Wikipedia Mac Davis is alive and well.

[AntaresInScorpius]

rip mac davis. You were one of the best!!!
