Manfred Mann Pretty Flamingo

[cristinamoldoveanu]

I like very much this song and video. Remembering old times when I was young listening to this. Now I am 41, I lost one leg in a suicide attempt and I am fat like a hippo, it makes me smile a little, I like it and I listened to other versions too. Probably this one is better than others.

[mdelair420]

@cristinamoldoveanu Pass that shit cause its better than mine..Peaceout

[fortheloveoftunes]

Just love the chorus indeed and this part 2:14 :-)

[LkOutMtnMan]

Started to send this to a girlfriend, then I decided that it wasn't a good idea! LOL~ she might take it personal!

[figbat1]

I LOVE THIS SONG!....want to know some juicy gossip about manfred mann's band that they dare not print in the magazines.....go to "hey st peter gnowangerups70s" and read my 3 comments. regards.

[fionamary56]

Oops!! Big fingers!! MANN!!

[fionamary56]

The opening bars of this....just make me SMILE!!!! Happy and simpler times! Paul Jones was SO great as the lead singer! To me his voice will always be Manfred Nann

[thedroogfulable]

dude where are the flamingos?

[gorillamonsoon72]

the Queers cover of this song is so good.

[hamster700]

cool

[EMRAHsays]

for some reason i wish i could hear sam cook sing this

[burnley5960]

@EMRAHsays Yes He would have done a great JOB WITH IT AS did Paul Jones and the lads Gene Pittney also did a great version as did Tommy Vann and the echos

[burnley5960]

BELOW THEY WERE NEVER A MATCH FOR PAUL JONES AND MANFRED MAN DON'T FOOL YOURSELF YOU MUST BE AMERICAN!!!!

[IntricateCranes]

This video made my day, liking the irony :D

[metalmickey07]

Angel of Harlem..................

[1875HIBSFC]

How did you make this video?

[legalzinho12]

i Like the video,manfred mann rules!!

[butsy1818]

HENRY HIPPO BRIGHTNED UP MANY DAYS THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW,

GREAT SONG AND GREAT VIDEO MANFRED MANN FOR EVER,FLAMINGO PARK IS ALWAYS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL WHAT EVER BIRDS SEEK SANCTUARY THERE

[jonblake54]

Wonder if Noel Gallagher listened to this five minutes before he "wrote" Don't Look Back In Anger?

[jonblake54]

Wonder if Noel Gallagher listened to this five minutes before he "wrote" Don't Look Back In Anger?

[beavis701]

Whenever someone talks about British Invasion and general mid sixties bands, Manfred Mann is always forgotten. Beatles, The Animals, the Kinks, Rolling Stones, even the damn Herman's Hermits, they mention these guys. But not Manfred Mann

[ColumRogers]

@beavis701

I couldn't agree more, Manfred Mann deserve far more credit than they are given. But i would like to add The Tremeloes, Yardbirds and 60's era Bee Gees to that list of bands who should be appreciated more.

[iepurasdragalas22]

it is so exciting,seeing you in a mini skirt...

[whyperion]

Is the Hippo's name Flamingo ?

[12347771]

From the Manfred's Jack Bruce era...........

[carlgerde]

This white singer dude could've sat in with the Drifters.

[christer1947ify]

A pretty flamingo... yes she was...

Thank`s for posting!

[kkkaldav]

this is verging on magic realism (whatever that means)

[seventiesclassic]

That's what you get when you have a vindaloo..a Flaming O !!

Make sure you have toilet paper in the fridge.

[pinkandjefflynne]

This song remind me of her (my wife) and gives me a lazy lob

[madosamabinladen]

i was with a girl like that..same skirt and all...like dental floss wrapped around beach ball

[86rish]

TRIPPY FUCKING VIDEO

[pmoyer50]

OMG! Wouldn't have been able to watch this either in the ultimate altered state. It would be like staring at myself in a mirror for a long time. Click click click . . . fade in and out . . . like a zoom lens gone awry. But this song is really great. Thanks for posting this.

[markf9572]

not sure about video, but the song is class

[neukertification]

CUUUUTEEEEEE!!!!

[problem49]

This vid is decidingly lacking in flamingos.

[kustomflex]

@problem49

True

best comment EVER

[optimumvalue9]

@problem49 DUH!!! whats the grey thing walkin down the street if it isn't a Flamingo???

[bigderekkeene]

@problem49 im thinking the director tis confusing a flamingo with a hippo

[specialk1556]

I will never watch this on acid. lmao

[MickeyLove01]

@zigzag909 You mean a poorlt animated one, hippo's in real life are beautiful. Nicer than humans.

[OtadzbinaiKrv]

lol duck is the best.

[Jake251292]

this animation has actually scarred me...

[MickeyLove01]

Only the naive argue about different versions of a song. It isn't your place to suggest which version is better. I suggest the petulant children among you take up a new hobby. Sniffing your mother's underwear is easy and cheap...

[r0ckh0pper]

LMAO

[lewisner]

The T. Rex is totally out of scale to the hippo.

[mvonwahlde]

I wonder what Marc Bolan would say about that!

[53xyozch1k]

hahahahaha

[sawdust54]

@lewisner Put your glass on it's a lizard

[BbilllyNoMates]

@sawdust54 its only a baby. born yesterday.

[lewisner]

@sawdust54 A bipedal lizard? What species?

[baldymer]

@lewisner Basilisk or Jesus Lizard.

[nugieism]

@sawdust54 still if its a lizard its still out of scale haha

[gregzsidisin]

@lewisner Yes, and that just TOTALLY ruined the video for me! Otherwise, it was so realistic. :)

[lewisner]

@gregzsidisin You get my meaning 8-)

[jferkfjkj]

how does my comment about springsteen get negative comments

have you heard the cover it doesn't come anywhere near the perfection of Manfred Mann

[redredreds100]

because, springsteen's version is a great cover, no where near as good as this, but you say "ruin" that is so wrong, hence, negative responces.

[jferkfjkj]

springsteen sounds a boozehound after a couple of binges just like all of his songs , paul jones sounds crystal clear in his singing

where's the heart and soul in springsteen

[itabuttrose]

shut up man u cant say that bout springsteen yeah it not as good but its differant instead of just copying dem springsteen voice better than dis man where r they now

[jferkfjkj]

manfred mann is a better talent, it doesn't matter where one guy is in realtion to his current status, as long as they have TALENT, and as far as my tastes are concerned, springsteen lacks talent, and a good voice

[problem49]

"Ruin" is exactly what Springsteen did to this wonderful song. His self-indulgent blather is all about himself and in no way celibrates the music.

[evilofisalm]

MAD but BRILL video

[RavenKnef]

Check out Tommy Vann & The Echoes version of this song as well as their version of Too Young... which is a classic in it's own right.

[J4ckSL0]

well the song is awsome but... the background ...it scares me

[redredreds100]

with you on that one

[LuneyTune72]

Sounds like David Bowie

[jferkfjkj]

hard to beleive springsteen ruined this fine song

it's perfect like this

[michelescoones]

Talk about bridging the age gap!! A song I have alwaysa loved, passed to me by my parents way back when, now my 3 year old wants the "happy hippo"" for xmas!!

[seditionaries77]

Love it! Thanks Sawdust54! x x x

[problem49]

So you cross a duck with a hippo and you get a flamingo?

[plattflytt]

great song one of there best

[milasach]

Very fun hippo/ducky animation to a terrific oldie. Thank you for the posting, SAWDUST54!

[Foxyarse2]

Great song...is that Paul Jones on vocals?

[zhanay]

Yes

[Niamhiebee]

Hippo! lol

[jblawrence07]

luv this song. good tune.

[oldiesfan52]

Too cute!

[problem49]

Irresistable. What a wonderful song.

[tube01]

Love this old song. The video was great.

[B52sguy]

I can't help it. This is just so pretty. Was in 1965, still is. I catch myself humming this many, many times over the last 39 (gulp) years.

[fntime]

Summer of 1966!

[corriegair]

Great LAURA

[AnnaKarina2]

Very cute ~ thank you for posting this sawdust54:)

Thanks DiehardBeatlesFan! for this share:)

[hippo473]

That hippo is hot!!

I would date her in a second!

What a body...and those lips!

What a lucky guy to have her!

Great video...I love it! Hippos RULE!

[mattman20062]

Loved the video, the hippo is great. Is it inspired by the Silentnight couple?

[animegalc4]

60's will always be the best.

[rocketsause17]

its a fucking hippo...supposed to be a flamingo. lol

[cougiebabie]

Thanks for sharing.Have not heard this song in years.

[quiltbee]

totally cute....thank you......awe...so precious.....sha la la....sha la la

[2sdaysonthefon2me]

This is adorable! Great song!

[quiltbee]

lol...thank you very much for sharing laura...its so amazing....i have this song by rod stewart.....

[vickileroy]

I love this song...it's great.

This video ROCKS!! Too cute!!

Thank you Laura for the share...it's a keeper for sure.

peace and love

[68enxy]

I needed some cheering up tonight and your video with this wonderful song did it!!!

[jdal1950]

Thank you so much

I guess you had to be there

[jonny7dreamin]

Great Song, thanks for the video, its well done

[No1emilybrowningfan]

Can't believe this song knocked Beach Boy's Sloop John B. off the No1 spot.

[Galatea6969]

maybe because its a better song:P

[No1emilybrowningfan]

No way! Brian was the true genius of music and he made the most fantastic arrangement on Sloop John B. The only song I like by these guys is a Bob Dylan cover and that is only because it is one of Bob's less known songs.

[burnley5960]

Manfred Mann were a match for anyone back in 64 the beach boys included,Paul Jones had a haunting voice,great memories.

[TheResidentSociopath]

@burnley5960 The Beatles would beg to differ. In 1964, they controlled 60% of North America's record sales and dominated the charts with #1 after #1.

[emersontotalyconfuse]

@burnley5960 Nancy sinatra songs was amazing too....
