Brandy You're A Fine Girl Looking Glass

[MrPoppa2]

Kenney Chesney, did a great recording of Brandy...check it out!

[pbrick6301]

while i serve the country i am insured of the sound of the voices of brandy insures my resolve.

[WaitWhatWasThat1]

Like if king of queens brought you here

[saphopoem]

@WaitWhatWasThat1 The song is what brought me here -.-

[taffina123]

This song really tells a story. Love it.

[MichelleLaBell10]

This still sounds good.

[BrandiAgainLuvsYa]

She could feel the ocean *fall and rise*. :)

[acowgirlup]

Brandy is NOT a stripper name. How shallow to say such a thing.

[CyberBishop]

I wonder what version this is? There are quite a few versions of this song with various added background instruments, some are sped up slightly and some are slowed slightly.. I know I have at least 6 in my music files on my comp.. Great song BTW!

[ladebacker]

This whole song is amazing.

[TheYankeefan121]

great song

[dcc83072]

@greyjohnstone I dunno... I married a sailor. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out 20 years and 4 children later. ;-)

[cripsyfrenchflies]

Brandy is a stripper name.

[Mysteweave]

@cripsyfrenchflies Uh, I hardly think so, since I'm not a stripper. 

[Midnightryder7]

use to hear this song all the time when i was a small child..when it came on the radio in the car dad would crank it up

[MissBSW12]

My name is Brandy ^.^

[VINGgirl1]

Great song back in the day...loved this. Reminds me of when I was a child. I didn't exactly listen to the lyrics however it made me feel good(music)

[appsenta]

esta cancion me da un buen rollo...

[wohlfwife]

I was also named after this song. But I wasn't born until Jan '78!

[scottishchieftan]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah, mellow nights, maannnnn

[Speedyone21]

My daddy named me Brandy after this song...I was born in Nov 72 and it came out in Sept of 72. I love the song and the fact I was named because of it. But I have found that it does cause problems when I'm out with friends b/c they have been known to sing it when I meet a guy..."Brandy, what a fine girl.What a good wife you would be." and that automaticallly makes the guy think I want to marry him. I love the song though!!

[DeathsDealer13]

@Speedyone21 I was reading this and right as I got to your quote that part started to play!!!

[theAbeElement]

my name IS Brandy!! and yeah, this song reminds me of my only love alan shore, except he's devoted to womanizing and legal matters

[vzooper]

5 people are gay sailors.

[SouhernNightingGale]

YOU CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL BAD FOR BRANDY IN THIS SONG AS SHE DEVOTED HERSELF TO A SAILOR SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH WHILE WORKING IN A BAR. HE TOLD HER SHE'D MAKE A GOOD WIFE AND WAS FINE GIRL BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MARRY! THE SEA TOOK PRESIDENT OVER A GOOD WIFE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE! HE THAT FINDETH A WIFE FINETH A GOOD THING, I GUESS HE MISSED THAT BIBLE LESSON HUH? LOL!

[greyjohnstone]

@SouhernNightingGale It's different for a sailor, mate. VERY different. Sailors, like any dangerous job, it's a job you love, but at the same time, it leaves less than no room for a family. Giving a widow's veil before you even speak your vows is a shoddy wedding gift. And then there's the fact you're never home. Your home is the sea, see?

Ah well, whatever.

[batmanmf]

@SouhernNightingGale Your poor spelling, misquote, and excessive capitalization totally nulled the already scarce validity of your point. Please refrain from commenting in the future: the world needs less ignorance. Next time just enjoy the song.

[SouhernNightingGale]

@batmanmf I thought you to be intelligent until you opened your mouth and proved me wrong as I was enjoying the song but simply having a healthy friendly debate about the sailors' motives/intentions towards BRANDY and if YOU can't appreciate open friendly debates and/or discussion refrain yourself from commentary as you EPITOMIZE your IGNORANCE from the lack of knowing how to express yourself in an intellectual mature manner! SMH. Was that comprehensible enough for you?

[Reepecheep]

@SouhernNightingGale Um, you know he didn't say that she wasn't good enough to marry. He said she was, but that the sea is his true love. l2english

[SouhernNightingGale]

@Reepecheep I can appreciate that! Good point!

[slippymitc]

@SouhernNightingGale stop shouting.

[SouhernNightingGale]

@slippymitc FYY, Caps aren't ALWAYS the definition of someone shouting/yelling when texting or emailing but simply a means by which a person is expressing themselves BOLDLY as to get their point across. We live in an age of technological advancement so much so that what something stood for/meant a day, a week, a month or even a year ago doesn't necessarily take on the same meaning as CAPS are one them! CAPS now mean one strongly emphasizing and/or stressing a point NOT yelling/shouting at all.

[supertrue]

THANKS FOR THIS GREAT POST! THE VIDEO, THE TOP-NOTCH RECORDING, AND THE LYRICS!!

Thanks so much!

This LEGENDARY song deserves the best.

Godspeed ~

[MrJeezus]

Corey Taylor from Slipknot. Big fan. Cleans his kitchen to this song.

[ImaNinjaGirl]

i didn't even know about this song until my fifth grade teacher remembered it and always sang it when he called on me in class xD i do spell it with an i, thoughh. used to have a best friend named Brandi, too :D

[BrandiAgainLuvsYa]

i love this song so much, its one of the reasons why im going to name my daughter Brandi. <3

[p1d1s1]

You know there are 4 members of the band Starz in that photo. Looking Glass became Fallen Angels after Michael Lee Smith (front w/ scarf) and Brendan Harkin (left side w/ beard) joined. After Richie Ranno of Stories joined, they changed their name to Starz. They are somewhat legendary in hard rock/heavy metal/power pop circles. They influenced quite a few 80's and 90's rockers.

[rolando29088]

[musikizmilife]

@morrisluke Can I suggest a quickie?

[Jaimetud]

Thumbs up if you looked this song up after watching "The Cinema Snob."

[bryandamadman]

Too bad sailors are gay...I guess Brandy will always be lonely.

[SoHot77]

Far out!

[13MindsEye]

I will admit that this is my favourite song of all time. The music and the lyrics are just a simply great mix.

A love unrequited.....

[976shate]

Good song! Poor Brandy!

[sesabio]

The Simpsons brought me here!!

[RocketThrower]

I swear, I'm going to name my first daughter after this song. I'm going to fly to Spain and buy the silver braided chain and the locket.

[capebee]

@RocketThrower That's a really sweet thought. That's the kind of song this is.

[Wolfineyes]

@RocketThrower That's exactly what my dad said, and he did! My name is Brandy :)

[Dayepipes]

@RocketThrower We coudldn't count the number of now-middle-aged Brandies named for this song when born in the middle 70's.

[TheJcp1234]

Sounds like Obama singing.

[cuzitsnecessary]

ooo, this song is sooooo good! i'm in my 20s and know that.

[brownwoman64]

Would love to see a video made of this song. You know, the story played out on video.

[MsLogjam]

You can really hear the influence of soul in songs like these. Such an ugly time it was and there was music like this; it must have been like having a quiet, comfy room to retreat to while living in the house of chaos.

[RJiminez51]

i can just imagine when they were putting this song together. they were probably saying to each other, damn guys it sounds good, this is gonna be a classic hit.

[Darksider009]

Brandy fine girl

[SuperJumpback]

SOOOO --KOOL&SMOOTH- **PEACHER'S -N- CREAM**/W STRAWBEERY'S--- YER***XXX

[gat1240]

Wow, what upbeat music,nothing like it today. Remember this was during a time we were still in Vietnam and the oil embargo was just starting. We listened to our music and forgot about it all. Music was huge to young people back then even if they didn't have these Ipods, they could remember the tunes in their heads. Do I sound like an old man.Well 30 some years from now see if any of the music holds up-want to bet on it.?

[DelHerrod]

Love it. Story of my life!

[25TEMPLAR]

Wow , a blast from the past! Thx for sharing!

A great everlasting song from the 70's

when i was 13. Was just thinking of that song today, ! Brought back memories of a time when things were simpler then, no annoying

cell phones,etc to frustrate you when they let u down. Top 100 songs of That decade im sure, and more. Timeless classic i will always be humming inside,and with it, a little smile,of my inner child, forever etched in time.

[MegaRedfox21]

(sniff) made me cry

[evangieswan]

great video!

[TLew01]

@frailty529  wow that was a cool site, just want to say thank you!

[donpaul45]

Greeeaaaat Fabulous.......

[PsychicRogue]

I remember listening to this song when I was a little girl. It's great song. :)

[rostant999]

@PsychicRogue yeh me too when i was like 6 or 7 so surprised to hear it again

[wxyzca2000]

You can say Brandy on YOUTUBE(tm) But you can't say "ciggie"

[peacelovelolz]

my aunt's name is Brandy and she moved so her workmates made her a slideshow type of video and played this song. It was soo sweet.

[sailorblue1962]

Love this song and my sailor of 20 plus years. I joined the Navy in 1986 because of this song. I served 13 wonderful years and the song will always be a part of that career. thank you Looking glass. Awesome song!! It just stops me in my tracks and i just dance and sing out loud!! My kids thinks i am crazy of course. What can i say, it is a memorable song!!

[XxBrandiGirlxX]

I have a friend, aka my twin. Her name is Brandie. My name is Brandi. And we were BOTH named after this song! I LOVE THIS SONG! Thank you dad!

[RocketThrower]

@XxBrandiGirlxX Thats the awesomest thing I heard all day.

Have you seen the movie Joe Dirt, by any chance? Good stuff. And there's a character named Brandy :)

[countfour]

What a brilliant song still after all these years - I love it everytime I hear it - apart from the memories of my youth it's just a great song - and still works so well today. Great song guys!

[sssallyo]

In 1972 when dad was building the house across the street from the high school and had enlisted Doug, Christy, and I to work alongside of him everyday. We listened to the radio constantly while working there. This was one song that was played a lot ,and we all liked iti and would sing a long with dad while we worked.

[AZRacer2000]

This is one of my all time favorite tunes! Sing it!

[chucksterberg]

Hey there Jasminne2009.....How about uploading Jenny Lynn by the Looking Glass which was on there first album along with this song. I'm sure everyone will love it too and you can't find it anywhere!!!!....Thank you.

[JustMALEMAN]

[bad4good100]

[lithiumjimmy]

Classic 70s Rock and Roll, baby!

[MultiMuscleman1]

[CabrelFan]

Such a great sound & story. Still got the record. Wonder what happened to the group. TYVM

[missmaryewing]

Love this song! First heard it back in the 70s, its such a wistful attractive tune. Tells a touching story, I think. She sounds like she had a better time than I did as a waitress, all workmen coming in moaning!

[Firecloud500]

love the intro

[lff1013]

but his life, lover and sea was his guitar!!

[lff1013]

Reminds me of a guitar player on tour I used to know!! Ty for posting...

[utubemusiccritic]

Great line: "She works laying whiskey down."

[DeathsDealer13]

@utubemusiccritic ya it is i love it but i like the course better

[DeathsDealer13]

omg my name is brandi but spelled with an "i" and my mom and dad say they named me after this song

[GoGoGadgetBeer]

@DeathsDealer13 - u were probably made while they were listening to this :)

[DeathsDealer13]

@GoGoGadgetBeer  that would be like very weird if they did

[GoGoGadgetBeer]

@DeathsDealer13 - Not really, it's good background music.

[DeathsDealer13]

@DeathsDealer13 it is i like it alot....um idk what to put next

[12354blahbla]

@DeathsDealer13

haha wow you must be white trash, 1. you parents named you after a song, and 2. they didn't even manage to spell it right.

[DeathsDealer13]

@12354blahbla wtf no they didn't and that's kinda of mean i am not white trash you need to shut up and they wanted to spell it differently

[TheSweetKnight]

@12354blahbla

shut up and go live in your hood man. your nothing but trash anyway

*puts on black sunglasses*

Brandy is a nice name even after a song plus the "white trash" sounds very irrelevant even with that song.

[DeathsDealer13]

@TheSweetKnight ok idk if you are being rude to me or if your trying to help me so if you are tryin to help then thank you and if you aren't then just wow that's really mean to say to a kid

[TheSweetKnight]

@DeathsDealer13

No not rude at all. I mean to do whats the best thing in this. I was trying to make everything a bit better :D

[DeathsDealer13]

@TheSweetKnight o well thank you at least there is someone on the internet not tryin to be a butt-head to others :)

[normal1988]

@DeathsDealer13 hahah! so is my girl friend!!

[dipsaucerose]

@DeathsDealer13 thats so COOL!!!!!!!

[flintrox]

@DeathsDealer13 Do you have a silver locket that bears the name of the man thet you love? I had to say this. Great name and great song, flint

[DeathsDealer13]

@flintrox 

[Daniweb1971]

@DeathsDealer13 My name is Brandi too that's awesome cool song

[DeathsDealer13]

@Daniweb1971 yea it is and wow ur name is spelled the same way too?

[os0ama]

@DeathsDealer13 I dont know ur mom and dad but i can tell u that they were a weed smoking hippies in the 70's and the proof is that they didnt even spell ur name correctly

[DeathsDealer13]

@os0ama just shut the crap up!!! there isn't one way and ONE way only to spell the name brandy it can be spelled with an i or an ie or e but the brandy with and y is just more common that way. and u have to have some pretty low self esteem to be dissin on people that you don't even know over the internet!

[os0ama]

@DeathsDealer13 hhhhhh i really didnt mean to make u angry and upset and didnt mean to criticize u or ur parents and btw i dont have a low self esteem (saying that was not cool) anyway im sorry for making u upset and i hope u understand and accept my apology

[DeathsDealer13]

@os0ama sorry i never really meant to blow up at you. it's just that i've had a lot of people who don't even know me call my rents weed smokin' dumb hippies and other crap like. they even have called me a crack baby! (which i am not my rents never have done that stuff and hopefully wont) and yea i accept it thanks for apologizing and i'm sorry for saying u have low self esteem

[chilirich]

@DeathsDealer13 If your parents named you after the song Brandy, then they must each be a sentimental cuss. I bet they loved you to death.

[DeathsDealer13]

@chilirich Don't know what sentimental cuss is but they do love me thankiees :)

[Glamagal20091]

I love this song also! It is another of those 'lost gems' that is seldom unearthed on commercial radio for everyone to hear.

I can't quite work out why it didn't so well in the United Kingdom.

[vgcpride85]

I love this song!!!

[cujo9]

lonely sailors drinking whisky and wine and then back out to sea !

no time for brandy.

[nvcnvc1]

good song to listen too if your on your way to panama city fl!

[ILoveLauriePartridge]

Great video with a great song!! :-)
