Middle Of The Road - Yellow boomerang 1973

[mikethea]

Hey - I co- wrote this and I still like it

Mike Shepstone

[adamkincaid1234]

I still love Sally Carr though

[adamkincaid1234]

The chorus of this sounds suspiciously like 'you know she'd rather be with me' by the Turtles

[adebarde1]

What a strange voice. Like one of the chipmunks.

[60ehr]

The place you meant was "Kaivohuone"...in Helsinki, Finland. And I suppose the place/club still exists.

[sdadean]

Sally Carr has a really unique voice, they where really a great band. Thanks Sally.  Brian, U.S.A

[thanksforthemessdick]

the beatles didnt have no smokin hot blonde(yellow BOOMerang indeed)beats yoko anyday

[thanksforthemessdick]

this is just a half ass yellow submarine,but i love it anyway

[zincfreud]

The oldies are the best cos bands like MOTR had a naivety mixed with slick professionalism about them. It was b4 the days of production line pop stars and

scum like Simon Cowell etc. these originals were real as opposed to the modern day E number wannabes

[MrJuno6]

"Oldies Goldies "??. And this was a time hen bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Free where at their peek. Half you people must be fucking deaf.

[inkydoug]

@MrJuno6 MOTR held their own against Led Zepplin,Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, and Free, in their market niche. Now that those bands have been overplayed to dirt, you will likley hear more of dimly remembered bands like this.

[walter4092]

@MrJuno6

sorry Led zeppelin had one big hit with whole lotta love ,

[trultejenta]

MOTR was big in Norway, im soo thankfull to find this music here on youtube:)bring back so many god memories from the seventies !!!!

[mamima59]

dalsia lahodka...

[proff180]

She was stunning, I can remember that one from back then, the 70's was a wonderful decade, I like the 70's image on the whole but the only thing that I don't miss from the 70's fashion wise is us chaps having to wear silly mustaches or beards, I always thought they were naff even back then, maybe I was ahead of my time because it's sure considered naff nowadays...thank God :D.

[sundimmer]

Sally Carr! I used to have dreams about her in the 70's.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

@sundimmer Me too - thank the stars for Kleenex! lol

[ryfreknilf]

Flawless.. hmm too bloody early in the morning, sorry!! ;-)

[beetle2014]

@ryfreknilf The singer is Sally Carr ? She looks different...regards

[ryfreknilf]

@beetle2014 It's her voice.. maybe a different hairstyle?? *lol*

You have the same good taste when it comes to music!! Best Regards

[beetle2014]

@ryfreknilf Thanks ¿ Do you Know where is the Chirpy Chirpy Chep`s video ? How I do to download ? Have a nice day

[paulhamerton]

[beetle2014]

[peej67ify]

[lemoned17]

[bondbug73]

Yellow Boomerang?

What kind of a title is that?...... but more importantly. LOOK AT THOSE YELLOW SHIRT COLLAR'S!!

[inkydoug]

The closed mouthed young German teens clapping along,lol.

[kpowers]

I love early 70's pop music

[fengfipe]

Yeah love them "Oldies-Goldies" and Middle of the road bring many good memories along with the New Seekers.

[paulytwotanks]

@fengfipe beg steal or borrow! Yeah!

[apebyen]

[andyfraserfree]

V roce 1972 byli na soutěži Bratislavská Lyra,v tom zlém komunistickém československu????????????????­?,to je zajímavé???

[22annabella22]

[baz4111]

Too cheesy to be true but right about the Abba comments below!

[Proper4567]

damals war es ein hit abefr das versteht ihr nicht.......gruß opa ricky

[lighteningvisual]

wow! where did ABBA get their idea from???

[iloveitall]

true.

[rietweg]

dikke fitiee

[Ruffneck555]

looveee it !

[B52sguy]

In 1971 I travelled throughout all of Europe and Scandanavia, and you could not go anywhere and not hear MOTR.

Sally, (real name Sarah) and I met in Helsinki, Finland, one night when they were playing at a club called the Kyvohonee', and she could not of been nicer. Even bought her and the boys a drink. Really down to earth people.

Can't do that now of course, but in those days, you could actually talk to some of the bands.

Met Joanie Mitchell at someplace in Stowe, Vermont that winter.

JF

[Factnotfictionpeople]

@B52sguy Bought them ALL a drink! I hope you got an autograph? :-) Maybe even a l'l kiss off miss Carr? :-)

[yesfan]

Damn this is a catchy tune. Her voice was ahead of it's time. There's a lot of Madonna and Gwen Stefani in her voice.

[expatbritingermany]

@yesfan - maybe, but I always found her voice too nasal.

[cricketbat08]

purple and yellow rock my world!

[stone1584444]

Nice video, thanks for posting!

[beamerZ]

any live footage available on y.t? can't find any...

[phagos1962]

They really are icons of them beautiful 70's!!!!

[sSurrenderDorothy]

Horrible outfits.

Mmmm. . .yummy damn blonde!

[elnatre]

I love MOR songs and Sally's voice since I was a teenager in the 70's

[cpdaddy7]

giant jacket lapels rock my world

[endora60]

This woman has a voice so thin Dolly Parton feels tough.

[expatbritingermany]

@endora60 - this is probably one of those conspiratorial sites where the singer's friends and family zap anything not gushingly positive. The same thing happened to me with a Mary Hopkin video.

[j9940]

te amo 1973 monstruos sagrado de la nostalgia ,middle

[Kevo00]

What fashion victims! I love it!

[arissss1962]

These Oldies-Goldies have such a charm and attraction non of nowadays sylicon superstars have.

[Meadoway40]

@arissss1962 Not one of their best songs, but the drummer has a nice new wig.

[malagosia18]

[jlgkl23]

Elle a une voix si particulière, Sally...C'est cela qui a fait la force de ce groupe, aux compositions ô combien efficaces !

[Fritte41]

She sure know how to use her woice even though the song is from 73 and i was 7 i still enjoy the 60,70 & the 80's music and Sally is one of my favorits :)

[holzhermann]

[wilczi]

Bei mir war's das Jahr der Einschulung. Aber du hast recht, ich sehne mich auch nach dieser Zeit. Da war die Welt noch in Ordnung.

[SphericSenseS]

[tippyteen]

[MiddleoftheRoadFan]

Another Smash Hit, i like that yellow boomerang, thanks for posting this.

[Ianpbx]

Dig those groovy shirt collars!

[floygus1]

The singer looks like Liz Phair, but with much better hair.

[Willone90]

Yeah the singer name is Sally Carr

[lilly1008]

I dont remember this song but i like it. I dont like "Bam a boomerang" whit svenne o lotta. This singer i love. Is Her name Sally?

[Willone90]

hahahahah no, I do not think so. I mainly listen Heavy metal, but I am not sorry to hear of pop'70 times as Abba, Middle of the road, or Italian Beat music. That's it.

[Willone90]

I loveeeee it :D

[0124529536]

i need someone to likc my pussy c

[beamerZ]

The drummer's got hair again!

[biddymagee]

Yeah...noticed that..weird!

[sgillman16]

this is actually the 1st song i heard from MOR

[sgillman16]

yes they do remind me of Abba and the Les Humphries Singers

[drkam6]

sounds like Abba..

[MBFLA45]

Actually... Abba sounds like them. They had their hits about 2 years before Abba showed up. Listen to Abba's "Bang A Boomerang"... hmmmm...

[glamfoxbuster]

I've never considered that, but I think you could be right you know.

[ryfreknilf]

Anyone else out there, who misses a complete box set with all their original albums??!

[sgillman16]

hey does anyone have the version by the Les Humphries Singers?

[regardez403]

Great band great song...but the outfits are a bit over the top even for 1973. Are the shirt collars supposed to BE yellow boomerangs? Very Minnesota Vikings eh!!

[bolanbabe]

bloody love it!!! brings back memories......great ones!!!!! tanx xxx

[arissss1962]

Classic of classic.This nice and lovely feeling is gone,level of quality-as well.Nowadays requirements are sex,pretty face+sylicon boobs etc.(Or bad boys image for male singers.)Few supermonsters left havin really high quality level.Now is time for Rihannah,Blunt,Amii Winehouse and new generation.Commercial success killed requirement for tallent.Pitty but...what can i say.Fact is a fact.

[redenajean]

You are so right, but it is a real shame. I love the music of the 60's,70's, and even some eighties after that well I might like some of it but not like this!

[hotdogwheel]

@arissss1962 People would take you seriously if you could spell worth a shit.

[gfrkiss]

I'm sorry to hear about Eric. God bless... BUT if Zeppelin can do it with 3 original members....?

[planetmoonscape]

Yellow boomerang? No, it's a wooden banana!

[gfrkiss]

move over , Led Zeppelin...it's time for Sally to get the original Middle of the road guys back for a major tour , i WILL be there..this band was my first favorite in 1971-72 and she looks so sexxxxxy

[bohemixx]

A reunion is impossible. Unfortunately, Eric died last year. :-(

[bazzme72]

check out the drummer he has hair in this vid and in 1971 he as bold as a coote.lmao,wiggy wiggy wiggy wiggy.cool band.

[horacio0206]

Long life to Sally Carr and her funny pop music!!! Thanks Fritz5134
