The Partridge Family - Doesn't somebody want to be wanted

[jafranck9880]

resevoir dogs brougth me here

[ahfaxthis]

HOW DO I KNOW THIS SONG? OMG wtf? did i watch the show? OMG. WOW.

[Uniquelyyours1]

I'll always love this music and I was born in 52. It was so pure and simple and so full of love. Today's music should take notes.

[TheDave1011]

Boy life was so much less complicated growing up to these songs. Now we live in such a screwed up world and have crappy music to boot

[jeff62rey]

The Partridge family songs defined what it was like for me as a 6th grader back in the early '70's. It was that sickenly sweet puppy love that coursed through our blood as pre-teens. It was that trying to jockey for positon on the bus so that 'blonde, skirted Jackie would sit next to me', feeling that got us all revved up. Gawd, I miss those days.

[mgrella63]

I saw David Cassidy in concert 20 years ago and he said to the audience that he absolutley hated this F--king song! He said he almost quit the show over it. Glad he didnt.Danny Bonaduce opened for him.

[bluespiral58]

Danny Bonaduce has a hot little butt.

[Alikah1]

@bluespiral58 Speaking for (I hope) the other team, so did Susan Dey!

[MegaCassidyfan]

I love this song and I miss this show as well - but sure love watching it again on DVD, and whenever I feel down I only have to put on one of these episodes and I'm back in the seventies and I'm laughing away all my worries while watching The Partridge Family and what Keith will get up to next or what mischief Danny will cause. Great show. Will be watching David in an episode of Malcom In The Middle tonight as Boon Vincent, he was really funny in that episode.

reservoir dogs rules!!!!!!!!!!

[SL0E978]

I played this over and over in 74 when I was 12.

[shmuli9]

I loved this song... But I also don't particularly want "to go back" to this time period...

[lovedad0106]

I really like this song Doesn't Somebody want to be wanted by me,it goes to all the single people out there who don't have anybody as a friend or a lover to see.But I do like all there music an even there shows.I am glad to see that David is keeping the music alive up till this day.

[rnasap]

This sounds like it should be on a episode of the original Scooby Doo.

[susrob1956]

@rnasap LOL!

[w9x7cv3vg6]

preacher preacher leave them kids alone

[MrSonny119]

I loved the 60's and early 70's, they were the best times I ever lived.! From Billie Joe, to Johnny Rivers, James Bond, Elvis Presley, Rock & Roll, the Partridge Family, the Beach Boys, the Carpenters, Everybody in Motown, Bossa Nova, the TV shows, Saturday Morning Cartoons, everything was new, and exciting, an uncomplicated.!!

If I could turn back time, this is where / when, I would go back to, enjoy every minute of it, with the ones I loved. !!

[spahnranch69]

@MrSonny119, I feel just like you do. That period from 1965 to 1973 was the best.

[tiranchula]

wow....... to be a little one again! remember fighting with my brothers.. they wanted a repeat of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and my sissies and I wanted the Partridge Family! We won, of course!

[gstock427wagon]

this was a great time to grow up i love this song ,alan

[YoleneR14]

i wish i lived during that time.

[mslovey]

A FEEL GOOD SONG I MUST HAVE BEEN 11 OR 12.

[MrSonny119]

Great Patridge Family Song.!!! I love it, and my youth that it reminds me of..!!

[MrSonny119]

I love this song and video.!! The best times of my life, the late 60's and the early 70's.!!!! Love them and sure do miss them..!!

[HUSKY57887]

Always wondered how old Shirley was suposed to be in this show,given her age,and the differance in years,between Keith,and Tracy.

[whbentig6]

I love it !

[beamcl1]

You're right - I sure do miss it! I wish my kids could have such a simple life!

[RichHartley1966]

That bell ringing at the :45 point was EXACTLY THE SAME sound played in the bridge in "Every Breath You Take" by the Police. When they played "Every Breath You Take" massively (every 5 minutes) in the late Summer of '83, there was this real sense of deja vu: "Hey, isn't that the same sound as in one of 'The Partridge Family's' tunes?"

[teamguido555]

@RichHartley1966 it was nothing like it you fuck

[AdmrlLocke]

I love it when David speaks during this song. Talk to us, David! :-D

[1sierraband]

Danny was and still is my favorite, although David Cassidy was gorgeous!

[AdmrlLocke]

@1sierraband Danny was hysterical but I had a thing for Laurie. Susan Dey had a stunning smile!

[humboldt777]

Lovely! I remember it very well.

[ibtheonlymark]

this is one of the very few songs you can hit 'replay'....over and over again...i just love the melody...and harmony of this song

[IanOflatherlySue]

danny was cute

i would've taken him in lol

[TinoTonotini20000]

He had a speedo-quality ass, and the love pouch in front looked good too! I recall another episode where Danny tries to join the army, and there's a scene where all he's wearing is white briefs. I was like 10yo and jerked off right in the living room after seeing that! *lol*

[chngreactn]

i feel young again

[hamslice15164]

billy don't be a hero. ripped this song off. lol, what morons.

[earthlinghere]

a nice song, but I think I'll meet you halfway and Pont in the direction of..r their two very best ones.

[nilsdrew]

i am 51, i listen to this, but listen to cocker, joplin, beatles, etc. i love music

[phnixlady]

yay!

[altha2009A]

LOL why does gerldo want to fight him all the time lol

[brian6078]

Probably so Danny can kick his f-ng ass!

[altha2009A]

maybe gereldo would fight with the KKK agian so that they can whup his butt and maybe give him another busted noise

[ponfarr69]

Golly, they are still so cute!

[pedaphelps]

it really was good music. life sure was simpler

[Gabriellandon]

Yes, good music, but the life wasnt simpler, was just different...

[piggyporridge]

@pedaphelps agree with you totally.

[wkares]

Who was Danny looking for?

[telecaster57]

His real family because he thought he was adopted....

[ponfarr69]

Avoid the Catholic priest!!!!!!

[altha2009A]

Yes, espcially if your a young boy lol or yet let him touch you then his family can sue the mess out of the calthloc church and they want have to sing no more

[TheBlackDuk]

Great Song -

[FaveAuntPookie]

I loved this song and this episode; thanks!

[punkrockefeller]

0:29 thank goodness that preacher wasn't catholic.

[infinera06]

Yeah...Danny had a cute butt.

[sknyrd77]

Sheila E. ?

[rigby1961]

hello everyone.one question for you all? is there anyone who remember one of their shows when the boy drummer did not want to be in the band or did not want to play drums anymore. an they had found a girl to play the drums in a short part on the show? thats when they were playing or trying this girl drummer out? dose anyone remember that show. and who was the girl and what was her name?

[ponfarr69]

Yes it was Chris and I recall it

[dart1966man]

I think the girl drummer was his sister Tracy.

Of course she wasn't really playing the drums, it was dubbed over just like everything else, but he got his nose out of joint when she showed him up on the drums.

Is that the episode you are thinking of?

[tigertbalm]

I think that it was the original Chris and he wanted to do a solo act?

[TinoTonotini20000]

Danny Bonaduce was a child underwear model (remember those?) before "The Partridge Family", and it's not hard to see why - he had an AMAZING ass! The front view in those tight pants looks pretty good too!

[7beers]

LOL, great post! All the neggers have NOOOOO sense of humor!

[alexrogan1]

I totally agree with ya LupusMCTD!! Both of those shows were so much fun to watch... thank god for DVDs eh? :)

[LupusMCTD]

OMG I was in 6th grade and sang this song over & over while I was on traffic patrol at school.

I hit play, I started singing this word for word...LOL

Funny I can remember the words from about 40 years ago, but I can't remember jack from 5 minutes ago.

Boy I miss watching Partridge Family & Here Comes the Brides.

Thank you for sharing with us, you made me very HAPPY today :)

[abbeyharry1952]

Another nice song-5***** and thanks for sharing awrongsuffered

[aspire62]

great video/song my friend 5 stars for you classic tv show love watching this and all the classic videos my friend awrongsuffered for sharing

[mariaje27]

Esta canción sale en el episodio Never again (4x13) de Expediente X. Fue un capítulo magnífico en el que Scully se tatuó la serpiente Ouroboros, logotipo de Millenium, la otra serie de Chris Carter.

Un saludo desde España :)

[Gorgnop]

Another of his very best

[rosepearljanis]

david cassidy acually digs hendrix and such complyed ta make alivin cant really blame em things could b werse like mccain!

[usmctanks1]

Funny, but at one point I believe david Cassidy had something like 16-20 number one hit albums etc. He was HUGE, My sister went to se a "promo" show in Saratoga. I went, and so did my DAD (drove)!!! David was with Bobby Sherman, it lasted exactly 11 minutes!!! (dad timed it) over 40,000 showed up hundreds fainted, Funny days!!

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

I was eleven and twelve then. I didn't think the music was cheesy and I still don't. We were very lucky kids to have such good music, even the packaged pop music was fantastic during the 60's and early 70's. I loved Keith then and I still love David now. And who would have thought that Danny B. would grow up to be so interesting?

[DancingFalcons]

What was going on in this video? What was Danny doing?

[dankitti]

There was some doubt that Danny was an actual biological member of the Partridge Family because of his different hair color. He was going in search of his 'real' parents.  HTH.

[7beers]

1. So what was he doing at the priest's? 2. How is the dilemma finally resolved?

[stratman123]

Danny decided he must have been adopted, so he sets out to find his real parents. When Shirley (and Ruben, I think) finally catch up with him to tell him how silly he is, they let him try the last family on his list. The door opens-and it's a black family!

[7beers]

I don't get it. So Danny Bonaduce is black?

[Schneider10101]

I am ashamed to admit I like this song XD

[doomer79]

Why? Schneider10101? The only thing I'd be ashamed of is using that ridiculous "XD"

[acdeucee]

Dont be ashamed, just go with it!

[Schneider10101]

OK, but it's the cheesiest thing I have ever heard!!

[Huggy1959]

Cheesy, sure - but that's part of the apeal of this music. They knew it was cheesy, the people who listened to it knew it was cheesy...but it was just plain fun music. Fortunately the real studio musicians behind the scenes like Hal Blaine (drums) and Larry Knechtel (keyboards), most songs written and produced by Wes Farrell (also the owner of Bell records), they had remarkable, lovable sound, although the "family" was as real as professional wrestling.

[padric2]

Ah the days when a small boy could approach a priest. Seriously though, I remember having this song on an LP when I was 5 years old. Had their Christmas album too.

[tonydalcon]

In fact, I used to lip sync to the spoken part (to laughs of appreciation all around).

[tonydalcon]

Part of the holy triumvirate from the Up To Date album (I'll Meet You Halfway and You Are Always On My Mind). And yes, I'm serious, dammit.

[33Mark221]

I agree with you. If I had to make a choice of only one, "Up to Date" would be the cd to have. From "Umbrella Man," and "You are Always on my Mind," to "No Doubt in my Mind," the album didn't have a single misfire. It had good lyrics about change of circumstances, lost love, and acceptance of things as they were, that I could relate to even as a young child.

[acdeucee]

When life was good .I remember it well.

[xfearbeforexx]

I remember this song from an episode of the X-Files. Good song.

[BASavage81]

I remember watching this episode when I was a kid. Thanks for posting.

[Johnchgiza]

Danny B. is the biggest Mo Rocca fan ever!

[greekchikinaustralia]

lol.

[xXKohaku15Xx]

...followed by Edison Lighthouse's Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes. As K-Billy's super sounds of the 70s weekend just keeps on...truckin'

[midnightlove1957]

awesome :)
