This really is music. Say what we like, hate what we want. This was a real life story that affected everyone - told in verse - and I can only pray it will for the rest of time. When driving on a long road trip it's never the new music that makes it onto my playlist. Always the classics. If you think the lyrics are silly you are an idiot.
This video is convincing evidence that Hollies were never meant to have mustaches!! I'm so glad Terry never had one. It would be a crime to cover any of that handsome face.
My husband and I call this our song. As teenagers we had a 'shotgun wedding' and here we are 42 years on, still in together and still in love. Great memories of the music of the 60s
This song was a number one single in Australia and I can't find it on a "Greatest Hits" collection anywhere. An absolute classic. If anyone knows where I can get it on CD in Melbourne please let me know.
@dbailey62 Thanks for that. I'll try and import the CD from America I think. Have used Amazon successfully in the past. Thanks for posting this too. Probably wouldn't have found it anywhere if you hadn't of. Cheers!
@jdisensi1 have to say i totally agree with you about messing with that fabulous guitar solo - what could be better than watching tony play that beautiful piece. . . sigh. . .
@brianofoz Come to the UK mate, only single mums and imigrants get council houses now, when this came out in the late 60's you're right, it was a big thing, its 20 times worse now, we are creating a society of scroungers, sad but true.
@54Chiavazza The Stone were Still are and always will be SHIT and THEE most over rated band of all time,,Whiny repetitive rubbish,,They are only liked because they are losers.
By Far the "Eagles would have to be the best rock & Roll band of all time. The Hollies are awesome and had allot of awesome Hits ,But lets face it ,The Eagles have had hundreds and are still together 40 years latter..Rolling Stones My ass, SHIT SHIT SHIT
this song is APPROPRIATE in today's generation: teen pregnancies, extra-marital sex, loose morals on sex, how i wish this would be played in FM radios, MTV. This song has a very strong message to the youth (by the way, i'm not a conservative, am in my mid 50's but still rockin, and has long hair)
This is the song I like the most from the Hollies. The music in this clip is the studio version and the solo and 12 strings were just made for each other!

Love this song,the guitar solo in the middle makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

I love this song so much! Tony's solo is amazing, so beautiful (like his face) so talanted but I must say, Allan should NOT have a muchstas! He looks like an angry spanish guy.....

@JH32079 Me too please. And I agree with dbailey62. The editing is indeed very strange. Why would you want to mess with that guitar solo segment?

Is there such a kind song?

It's called "Isn't It Nice". In the LP "Confessions Of The Mind", you can find both this song and "Too Young To Be Married."
