Roger Miller - King of the Road - With Lyrics!

[Checorama]

Dean Martin is better

[love4ourhumans]

Any idea which song has these words in it? I can't remember!

"See the writing on the wall, that don't bother me at all"

[retrogamerSam]

@love4ourhumans You sure it ain't "Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all playing solitaire til dawn with a deck of 51...." If so, that's "Flowers on the Wall" by The Statler Brothers.

Love Roger Miller, had to watch w/lyrics so I could show my husband that it was a four-"bit" room, not a four-"bed" room :D

my papa <3

[hokiangasinger]

Great classic!

[TheCrazyToonIsComing]

The lyrics remind me of our friend's life.

[rohricwl]

Roger Miller: "[Bobby Darin] was an inspiration to me.... When I wrote 'King of The Road' I was trying to write 'Mack The Knife,' something with that feel and that fingersnap thing." One great classic inspires another great classic.

[dj0000ism]

great song. :)

[xHeartShapedBoxxx]

I know this song because of Into The Wild and I really enjoy listening to it!

[tommy8323]

great song

[FlamingFairy]

One of my mum's favourite songs. Miss you mum xx

[PuppyLuver160]

I used to listen to this song all the time when I was a kid! :D Thanks for posting this! ♥

[amandie93]

Into The Wild..........

[g3zz3r69]

@amandie93 bloody quality film !!!

[gimme2utah1]

@Hammerfoot72..True... This simple, yet well written catchy tune has already proven itself for more than 45 years. Rebecca Black's "Friday" should be gone by....hmmm...the end of next Friday?

[chekovrules]

@gimme2utah1: I was wondering how long it would take before people started spamming my videos with complaints about Rebecca Black...

[gimme2utah1]

@chekovrules Wonder no more!! j/k

I take it you're familiar with the sudden "popularity" of she who should not be named.

Sorry, It was not my intention to spam... and It wasn't so much a complaint as it was an observation.

It's just the world we live in now... where a 10th grader couldn't give you the first names of the 4 Beatles.

[chekovrules]

@gimme2utah1: Yes, I am familiar with it. I'm sure it wasn't intended as spam (as you can see, I left your comment up), but it is kind of funny how many comments of the sort have been popping up on classic songs.

[borskyviolin]

@gimme2utah1 Do you really expect the average high schooler to be an expert on The Beatles? All young people listen to new music mostly. It's just how it is. Also, I knew plenty of 10th graders at my high school who loved the Beatles, and a couple who knew every song.

[grandstar11]

@gimme2utah1 no before next friday so she wont sing it on friday

[YippeKiYayMotherFkr]

@gimme2utah1 - Who the hell is Rebecca Black?

[honeytreelove]

my hubby and sister-in -law LOVE this song wish i had video of them singing it together .. they have known this song for 40yrs!!!

[DodgeMagnum13]

All those stupid rappers will be forgotten 15-20 years. This will still be LOVED!! Thank you so much for posting!!!!

[thenebster1]

For you dad.....darn I aint no cigarettes...lol.

[SCXTTP]

You can help but sing along! Thanks for posting! 

[emmyloueylouey]

Love it love it love it! It's impossible not to sing along, though i bet people wished that i didn't :D

[LemurDeCatta]

they sang this song on Generation Kill, while they were in the humvee.

[UpgradeUrGrayMatter]

@LemurDeCatta that's why i looked it up. heard it in episode 7. ray sounds so hurt: "were you guys singing 'king of the road' without me?"

[dj0000ism]

@LemurDeCatta yeah and ray got mad because they sang it while he was asleep

[Troe0807]

How can one not like this?! :D

[LilWeezyDroDoctor]

great classical song

[mjones20054]

I'm a brown girl. I grew up in the rural south. Getting dressed for school mornings the car toons had classical and country music accompany the programming in the '60's. That's where I fell in love with country music and this song in particular.

[gracek343]

My neighbours are obsessed with this song and know all the words of by heart and all, they are only 4and 6.. its so cute :)

[GthaBEST]

This song was also used inn the movie teladega nights the ballad of Ricky Bobby it plays in the beginning of the movie

[SuperSixinches]

@GthaBEST I agree horrible song for a wretched movie



[DavMawey]

Anyone knows the Konferenz Der Tiere (Animals United) version? It's awesome! And so is this one!

[MrJp990]

[CheerleadingILove123]

[sk8King617]

What movie is this from???

[chekovrules]

@sk8King617

It's not from a movie, although I wouldn't be surprised if it's been used in one.

[radzitsu]

@chekovrules

It Is from movie. It was used in "Into The Wild" Great movie, I recommend it ;]

[unsignedindiefan]

@sk8King617 Brokeback Mountain, Gyllenhaal's character is singing it while driving on some scene. It's Thompson & Wainwright's version...

[sanchomurphy1]

@sk8King617

"Into the Wild"

[jojezaha]

originally it´s not from a movie but it´s been used in Into the Wild :)

[chekovrules]

@jojezaha: Yes, it was the "originally" part that I was trying to point out. Apparently, people missed that point, lol.

[duppdy]

@sk8King617 its from Into the Wild, bro. Starring Emile Hirsch directed by Sean Penn

[duppdy]

@sk8King617 into the wild

[Catilac65]

2 assholes have been added to my hitlist

[inmaine09]

I live an hour from Bangor Maine. LUV Roger Miller!!

[courtneyj381]

Brings back memories. My brother had a wind up wooden model truck that played this song. My mom always turned it on at bedtime. Now I have a friend that does this song at our favorite karaoke bar, it's great to sing along to.

[phleb1968]

Classic. Why can't we have real songs again???????

[ronaldvanuden]

This is a beautiful song.

[JarheadM4A1]

Trailers For Sale Or Rent <3

[rocksock00444]

one of the first songs i learned to play

[auntypopup]

I remember my mum playing this continuously on the old record player, I was about three :)

[gwarriorfromhell]

Such a classic. Loved this song since i was about 5 and I am 23. One of the few new generation that truly admires older music for what it actually is. Also, bangor, Maine! Home...

[Hammerfoot72]

thanks for posting.. great music stands alone.... lasts forever... crappy music only stays for a brief time and is then forgotton..

[chekovrules]

@Hammerfoot72

Thanks for the comment :) I agree, old country was great music.

[fanpy123]

just like justin beibr's crap!

[USMCcolombia1]

@Hammerfoot72 the"brief time" is taking too damn long

[ANDYLINC1964]

If you like the old 50`s songs then you will probably like the old 60`s and 70`s too as most of them were written by songwriters who sang them and not factory produced.

[eurodancer987]

im 14 and basicly all me and mates like stuff like this its a happy song :D

[blindsight1987]

I agree! And I'm 22!

[maestrodicalcio]

but first and foremost, bring back those hotel proprietors daft enough to rent rooms for 50 cents! ;)

[chekovrules]

@maestrodicalcio: That would be nice, wouldn't it? ;) 

[foxyjeans13]

it's funny cause the poem that was in the movie 'into the wild' favors this song.

great song!

[midnightcaller200]

this sounds better than the halftime show with the who

[sirmonocle]

Win WIN

 WIN

[jchancel76]

cool song

[chekovrules]

It's one of my favorites :)

[gerdenshed]

A great video for a great song 5*s ;-)

Mark...

[chekovrules]

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun putting it together :)
