This song just fluids in memories with my dad and are trips to mexico\

[gautigislason]

Sad song with almost surprisingly joyful beat. Would be interesting to cover this song and tune it a bit.

[atzi805]

70's great quality bushes

[mrralvintwerp]

this reminds me of my cousin billy . he worked at cadburys chocalate factory and fell into one of the big vats of chocalate and drowned . very sad!!!!!! his fave record was billy dont be an aero!!!!!!

[epistte]

A great anti-war song.

[GoldenKnight422]

Oh this is my favorite video :D 

[iw32]

This was the number one song in the UK the day I was born. :)

[goldenglove25]

people should stop stilling others songs...fags

[mikadoapache]

1 person want to be a hero

[gocal777]

thanks for the memories, i enjoyed it.

[soundwavs1961c]

BO DONALDSON AND THE HEYWOODS VERSION IS MUCH MUCH BETTER!!!

[NoirFan01]

This, "Night Chicago Died," & "Run, Joey, Run" are three of the most crap-tastic songs of the 1970s.

[Bemused46]

@NoirFan01 Don't forget "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks!

[NoirFan01]

@Bemused46 McCartney & Wings "Let 'em In" was also crap-tastic and yet somehow it reached #3 on the US pop singles chart and #1 on the US easy listening chart. McCartney even had the cajones to include it in his set list for his Up and Coming Tour this past Summer.

[ksim43]

@NoirFan01 Yes, but cheesy, fun craptasm.

My Mum asked me to get this song for her and I thought it'd be crap...oh how wrong I was : ) I now can't stop listening to it. Wish they still made music like this

[TheJellybaby1988]

This was done off my favourite music channel,before they went and screwed it all up to the point now where it's no longer VH1 Classic (THAT DONT EXSIST NOW) it's now MTV Classic and it's absolutely useless,it's shows nothing but shit now...Love the song aswell..Thanks for uploading it...SHAME ON YOU MTV...BRING BACK VH1 CLASSIC AND THE PRESENTERS!!!

[02superdoug]

[JadeyMason1995]

Damn I was looking through my mums old school books and the whole lyrics to this song was in it ....... I liked the lyrics I read so I just thought I'd listen to it ....... And the song is actually pretty good and has so much meaning ....

[deercoroner01]

[dos12000]

I can see the VH1 Classis's logo on this video, here where I live, we receive VH1 latin america, and they put in his classic program videos from Pearl Jam, Jamiroquai and some other stupid guys and groups, why they don't put this videos in latin america channel?

[wonderfulhuman161]

what an inspired performance. 2*

[zukomatico]

70s 80s and 90s had good music this 2000s suck

[panasonic9561]

basically, 2k's music sucks because these days it only has to do with either love or war IS THAT Y U BELIEVE so.....???

[ksim43]

@zukomatico You realize people in every generation says that about current music compared to the ones earlier. Older folks thought the music you like was crap compared to what they knew and so on and so on. But you didn't agree, did you?

[MyfoodtastesIRONY]

@zukomatico I think you meant the 60's and 70's...

[scyth168]

@zukomatico

from like the 30's-early 90's music was good.

RIP MUSIC.

[MrEffortless]
