@TheRockandroll420 what you talking about? there's never been a period in popular music history where there is no good music. and if music was going through a dry patch, i wouldn't put my trust in a derivative, mediocre blues duo.
The world was so much better during this era! I miss this music, and will be eternally grateful that I was there at the time to have groove'd with it back in the day, when love and understanding ruled the day--not dark and pessimistic like these days....... People were kinder, far more educated, caring, and just plain groovy! Real life was lighter & happer. I miss the 60's&70's! This is the greatest country in the world, and I've personally been there! God Bless America~and God Bless You!
I played in a band show tonight, and a School played this. When the announcer said the name of the song, "Green Onions." Everybody started laughing. I'm just thinking, "Are you kidding me, have they never heard this song before? Have they never seen Sandlot, have they never listened to a classic rock station on the radio?"
@carlosjtown I was from that era,and this was my first taste of rythem and blues.I can tell you i didnt dance like that.It was only on tv. thank goodness!.It is embarrsing..Hahax
If 50 years Crunk dancing will probably look pretty silly to some. And it's true, they only danced like that on tv. When we were dancing to this at parties or "teen clubs" we danced much cooler.
I'm 18 years old , everyone of my freinds listen to rap, im the only one who likes this type of music. they think im wierd for that reason but i dont care , never be ashamed of the music you like!!
I just got a hammond M3 at a thrift store, works great. I can respect that man's utter skill at playing that organ just from trying to figure out the drawbars lmao. Classic song
@MrRobbieboy74 Premier Guitar has an interview with Steve Cropper in their 6/11 issue. They asked about the instrumental nature of the band, he said they were kicking around in the studio one day waiting for a singer to come by and do a demo (they were Stax session musicians) and stax founder jim Stewart hit the record button. That was this song, #1 hit Green Onions. I guarantee you Clapton and Mayall think more of Steve Cropper than "Just OK".
@slparrish like i said, this jam is a rip of Sonny Boy WIlliamson's HELP ME. Listen to it, it's like the same song, but without the retarded dancing. this little jam is great, but it's hardly deserves the fame it gets, simply because something too similar and much better came before this and MUCH better versions exist. the dancing is really gay too
@MrRobbieboy74 Yeah, both songs are based on a 12-bar blues, as are COUNTLESS blues songs. "Help Me" is a great jam, but you are dead wrong as "Green Onions" is from 1962 and Williamson's "Help Me" is from 1963. Sounds like you got your facts messed up.
@travisreininger yes i conceded i was wrong a while ago. besides so what if it's based on 12 bar blues. they are different songs. the bassline melody is unique and created by booker t and mg's. to say that it's a rip off of robert johnson is pretty narrow minded.
by your logic all music is the same because it comes from the circle of fifths.
i dont really understand how this is a song. john mayall's Help Me is like the real version of this. this feels like just an impromptu blues jam that is OK but nothing spectacular, esp compared with Mayall and Clapton jamming.
@dazzy262 unfortunately the clatpton/mayall isn't on youtube, if you heard it, you would agree with me. T and that song is a cover of Sonny Boy WIlliamson's HELP ME. Listen to it, it's like the same song, but without the retarded dancing. this little jam is great, but it's hardly deserves the fame it gets, simply because something too similar and much better came before this.

Anyone know of other instrumentals from the same time that charted/are famous? I know of Theme from a Summer Place and Love is Blue, but are there others?
@TIKIMAN198 Ahh, The Hammond B3, . Awesome! Does your dad have a Lesley Speaker setup with his B3? My dad was Director of Manufacturing for Hammond Organ Company in Chicago until they got bought out by one of the other organ co.'s in the 70's. We also had a B3. I remember my dad brought home a cassette recording when these guys came to the factory & sat down at an organ and played for a little bit. This was my dad's favorite song! Mike
@TIKIMAN198 ha my daddy played this song on His guitar! he raised us playing music, in bars and clubs allover LA.. this was his favorite jam! your daddy ROCKED it DUDE!
Classic song--but they're being forced to pretend to play, as bands often were in the 1960s on these pop shows. Notice that there are no cables attached to the guitar or bass. The organ Booker T. is playing is a C-3, functionally identical to a B-3, but the song was recorded with an M-3 spinet, which is what you're hearing. It sounds like they added a little reverb to the original recording to make it sound "live."
My son has just turned nine [March 2011] and is being taught this on the guitar [his 2nd guitar lesson, today!] and he thinks it's GREAT!! So, yes, it not only stands the test of 'time' but 'age' as well!!!!P.S. I'm 46 and I think it's great too!!!!
I like dancing, but frankly, I find this dancing pretty funny looking. And, this is my era! It's so jerky, and contrived. No negativity towards the dancers though...they're working their ----- off.

This song is timeless! One of my very favorites from this era....you even will hear it on some commercials today so that certainly does say something about its longevity!! Oh how I wish I could go back to those times right now...they were sweet.
I did the twist to this in first grade. Now I listen to it while cruising with the top back on my car. Socially, this group was way ahead of its time.
People who dislike this, have absolutely no taste in music, Regardless of your actual favourite genre. This is an absolute classic, and will always be. And will stand the test of time, just as it has so far. Booker T and the MG's FTW!
@ultimate47 Don't really get what you mean. Just because it's a classic, it does not mean that people who dislike this, does not have any taste in music. I like it, of course i do, but i know other music genre's, that are really good. Not trying to be a douche. Just saying.
i mean great music, cool dancing no crazy light and pyro fx, the chicks are actually wearing clothes! and look cute instead of looking like porn stars...
these days there's less talent and more sex... its ruining the record industry and corrupting children...most pop songs these days are more explicit than the heavy metal songs i listen to! they dont swear but they suggest sex...ask a 10 year old girl what songs she likes then listen to the words...shocking
@gillenpantera = you do realize that the EXACT same thing was said about the MG's back in the 60's, right? I mean, a band with BLACK and WHITE musicians? On the same stage?! I'm not necessarily sticking up for current music (I'm old too), but come on...
This one of those songs that will always be hip, for some reason. As if it's immune to time and people's fickle tastes. You could play it at a high school dance today and the girls would hit the floor, making the boys blush and follow.
Crazy. This is LIVE TV. That means no fuck ups. I bet you wouldn't see many stars attempting to do this today, minus the late night talk shows and SNL, of course.

People who dislike this, have absolutely no taste in music, Regardless of your actual favourite genre. This is an absolute classic, and will always be. And will stand the test of time, just as it has so far. Booker T and the MG's FTW!

@ultimate47 True that! It's just a solid groove by any standards. That's why almost all comments on this video are positive.

@ultimate47 Don't really get what you mean. Just because it's a classic, it does not mean that people who dislike this, does not have any taste in music. I like it, of course i do, but i know other music genre's, that are really good. Not trying to be a douche. Just saying.

Classic tune and great band there is a good cover version of this by a band called Kolton on here -- not as good as original tho

this is much better than today's crap.
i mean great music, cool dancing no crazy light and pyro fx, the chicks are actually wearing clothes! and look cute instead of looking like porn stars...
these days there's less talent and more sex... its ruining the record industry and corrupting children...most pop songs these days are more explicit than the heavy metal songs i listen to! they dont swear but they suggest sex...ask a 10 year old girl what songs she likes then listen to the words...shocking

@gillenpantera = you do realize that the EXACT same thing was said about the MG's back in the 60's, right? I mean, a band with BLACK and WHITE musicians? On the same stage?! I'm not necessarily sticking up for current music (I'm old too), but come on...

This one of those songs that will always be hip, for some reason. As if it's immune to time and people's fickle tastes. You could play it at a high school dance today and the girls would hit the floor, making the boys blush and follow.

Crazy. This is LIVE TV. That means no fuck ups. I bet you wouldn't see many stars attempting to do this today, minus the late night talk shows and SNL, of course.

got hectic on here! LOLOLOL! what a joke this hillbilly russian ass puppet is! if you are russian, and assuredly not an officer. hahaha, either way... if you are russian you shouldn't critiize anything american. your country ran itself into the 3rd world trying to keep up with us. go stand in line for some stale bread and a rotten potato while your leadership eats well and beds prostitutes. lots to be proud of to be russian these days. lolololol!
