  • Hey. Is this really Cat Stevens? Haha. Na. JK. Don't really care who it is, or aint. Just came here to pick on myself.

  • Geez NOT Cat fkin Stevens!!!! Harry Fkin Chapin folks!!!

  • Hearing this song brought me here.

  • hey, dad, feel that pain? In that voice? Is that pain? In the voice??...I dunno. I hear it. Maybe I am just making it up....That is mine. My pain. Why? I loved you. Just like I supposed to. Step kids got the best of you....why? I am an adult, but it hurts today like I was a toddler. *cries* ...still. I will forgive you one day....just not today. I am going to pack up my kids and walk away. Maybe pretend it is not us. Maybe pretend you are not you. Maybe.

  • @urmommaOG omg what kinda fucking dad did u have m8 ? :( 2 feel this way :( your dad really should be ashamed of himself , if he puts step children , in front of his own flesh and blood :( omg that is inexcusible :( if my dad had done that :( then i would disown him ;) and let him get on with another mans children , i wonder how low is your dad willing to go ? for that woman :( and her kids to another man , i think his own blood should be first in his life :) does anyone else agree ?

    s

  • Two and a half men brought me here,

  • What's the big deal?

    Look at Cat and listen to Harry.

    Ain't no thing.

    Uh, Comedic song artist?

    Yeah, "Morning Has Broken" and "Peace Train" always have folks just rolling on the floor..

  • Cat Stevens is a comedic song artist, this song is in no way funny, that should give you a clue it's NOT Cat Stevens

  • @VegasLady41 Only on youtube will you find someone with the right answer that is still so wrong.

  • maybe you couldnt find it because ur looking for the wrong artist

  • know it's been said but this isn't Cat Stevens People

  • The confusion is that Cat Stevens had an album called Cat's Cradle but if you ask anyone under like 25 today and they'll sware to u this is Cat Stevens and then u say Harry Chapin ppl are like Harry Who? But everyone knows Cat stevens (for the wrong fucking song!)

  • harry chapin smoked weed

    

  • Got all excited thinking maybe Cat had covered this, but just as happy to hear Harry's voice.

  • Z29vZ2xlOiBpbWFnZWhpZGUgYWRkaW­N0aXZldGlwcw==

  • Comment removed

  • i did research and found it pretty fast i found that cat stevens had an album called "cats cradle" but he never sang this song so you will never find and original cat stevens - cats in the cradle song.

  • one guy on napster mislabeled this song as cat stevens like 12 years ago and this is it's legacy

  • @kewltony Very interesting... funny how one little thing can stick like that after so long.

  • cat did not write this song ,Harry's mother wrote it as a poem Harry put it into a song when his son was born

  • Harry is definitely not Cat Stevens. If you google Cat Stevens, It tells you He changed his name to Yusuf Islam when he converted to Islam. He was born Steven Georgieu. And the rest you can look up if you want to know, really.

  • This is not Cat Stevens I mean come on people

  • That so is not Cat Stevens !! Itls Harry Chapin !!

  • Harry, when did you change your name to Cat Stevens?

  • @KittyGriffin1 LMAO !

  • my dad is such a prick

  • Got to hear this live in, gee, 1978 maybe. Bought a poetry book he had for sale. During this tour he had a full band and his brother Tommy was with him. Got to meet Tom several years later a great guy. This song, I lived it and learned from it now I'm a single parent and my 16 y/o lives with me. He is the light of my life. He cant relate to the song,thank God!. HC change one life, I know that for a fact. I'm living proof.

  • Cat Stevens? You fucking idiot.

  • Someone please delete all Harry chapin, and shoot all fools that think this is cat

  • Hats off to you and a huge THANKs for this exciting sound tarque !

  • I love Mr. Stevens... But this is Harry Chapin.. Great song none the less..

  • Husband and I were diviorced in 1977 my son was 11 years of age, his Dad seldom ever picked him up for a visit, son would hum this song..broke my heart, son is now 46 and father is gone.. son still has some good memories since they made amends later.

  • @Lindy81349 He probably didn't visit to keep himself from blowing your head off.

  • this is not Cat Stevens....it's Harry Chapin.....

  • Who cares who it is. Did you enjoy it? Then move on and enjoy another one. Relax people it's just a song nothing is going to fall and hurt you.

  • yes, not cat stevens.

  • yeah, Cat stevens does do this song, but this is Harry chaplin version

  • Awh, I was so happy i was about to hear a cats in the cradle cover by cat stevens. Im bummed now.

  • You obviously do not know what Harry Chaplin sounds like so shut up and enjoy the music idiot.

  • @10272567 uh, his name is Harry Chapin, not Chaplin, and this is clearly him.

  • This is Jim Croce dumbasses just look it up on napster 8 years ago.

  • i know .

  • LOL at confusing Cat Stevens with Harry Chapin's song "Cats in the craddle". I guess Snoop Dogg sings the song "Dogs" by Pink Floyd...that's the same retarded logic.

  • NO WAY CAT STEVENS ! HARRY CHAPIN INSTEAD !

  • @anibal134 That's Harry Chapin no doubt

  • shut up idiots!this is not chaplin or cat stevens...this is barney stinson!WADD UUUP!!!

  • I only hope my kids dad hears this soon. The kid is already 14.

  • Harry Chapin. His wife wrote most of the lyrics.

  • WHY WHY WHY do people think this is Cat Stevens???? It doesn't even sound like him. MORONS.

  • @coughlinkelly yea!

  • @coughlinkelly both wrote about their fathers. Well technically Harry Chapin wrote about his wife's ex husbands father but you get what i mean

  • @Texas93 harry didn't write it Cat did

  • @Richandsher No, Cat wrote father and son. Chapin wrote Cats in the cradle.

  • @coughlinkelly I'm pretty sure most people know that this is Harry Chapin.. However, this is the first link that comes up when looking up Cats in the cradle. CHILL

  • @coughlinkelly lol you should check out this song called "break my stride" by Matthew wilder for some reason millions of people since 2007 have been convinced that this song was written and performed by an Aussie rock group from the 1980's called Men at Work.Infact when you type in the song title in google and youtube sometimes it actually comes up with them as the artist when that is flatly incorrect.Noone knows who started the lie or how that lie became viral.

  • @coughlinkelly I feel so stupid for not noticing this in the title... oh well, it's late, I'm tired. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ;) P.S. Never thought it was Stevens. How anyone could is beyond me.

  • Harry Chapin.. not Cat Stevens...

  • love this song grew up lisening to it hes my cousin its so cool :)

  • This is most definitely Harry Chapin. Harry and Cat had very different voices.

  • I told my children to listen and learn from this song, be cause my husband and I always had to work and now I play it for my grand children. This is such a beautiful song so much meaning and short life is grasp it and enjoy with your children it is priceless.

  • That may be Cat Stevens' photo; but the song was written and sung by Harry Chapin. Nice try.

  • harry chapin? not cat stevens idiot

  • Harry Chapin 

  • i played this song for my father, and he ignored me and shouted about me playing music, ya, it works for daughters too, I turn into him

  • You Getting Charlie CHAPLIN?? Mixed up with Harry CHAPIN ?? Anyway this is NOT Cat .It IS Harry Chapin!!

  • @alanu2hot lol, thank you, thought so. People are trying to mess with others heads. lol. Not hard to do!! lmao

  • @Stinkbug74 .Harry Chapin was on a New York freeway going to a concert on a SUSPENDED! Drivers License, he slid to the right in others lanes ,then to the left, slowed down to about 15 mph. he was having a heart attack., when he swerved right in front of a Large Truck, it hit him and the gas tank erupted in fire, The Truck driver pulled him out endangering himself..., His wife later after his death SUED the truck company for 12 million dollars and WON!!! Why!! ?? I have no clue!!!!

  • @alanu2hot I remember the day it happened, pretty nightmarish & was a very sad day around here. Hadn't heard about the truck company being sued. Pretty screwed up, but sometimes people do strange things when distraught.

  • This is Chaplin

    

  • This Buddy Holly version kicks butt.

    ;)

  • @usmcfutball lmao, smart ass  :)))

  • @usmcfutball It Might help if the song wasnt made after buddy holly was dead though,,

  • really? he doesn't sound like cat at all.

  • Epic Fail

  • Pretty LAME! This is not a Cat Stevens tune. It's Harry Chapin.

  • every time i listen to this song it hits that spot. It's been sure nice talk'n to you dad it's been sure nice talk'n to you.

  • I hate it when people think that Cat Stevens sang this song. Yes, he is amazing, but give credit where credit is due. Harry Chapin R.I.P.

  • @NLEAST1 So a lot of people in your life mistake Harry for Cat? Really? And you really hate that, right? Sounds a little implausible, but I'm sure the ghost of Harry sees you as his 'little spear carrier' in the temporal world, carrying all that hate on his behalf.

  • A powerful tale. Too often do fathers/parents not take heed to the message, only to weep bitter tears later in life...

  • such an epic song xD

  • its sad how family can never find time for each other but still want the best for one another

  • was just wondering ? since he sings the song , and knows the words, and people listen, and like it, and feel nostalgia for times gone by,lol,lol,lol . it has,nt gone anywhere, you can create what ever the f==k you like, in the end who,s going to stop you , from what you, want to do.? now leave the guy alone, listen, relax, enjoy,., mot-er-u=kers.

    

  • Yes no kidding its harry chaphin

    died on the LA highway

    sad way

  • @shavluk Actually Harry Chapin died on a New York expressway, on the way to a charity event; he was always so giving of his time & talent. Sad indeed, but his creative genius, & heart, live on in this timeless song.

  • @misstreebird I stand corrected

    something went through him off a truck or something

    and I am going straight off a what 20 year old memory?

    cheers

  • I love this song, so much. My dad would always play it when him and I would go down to a river where we used to live. Gives me crazy nostalgia from when I was 5.

  • 217 people give a shit about the title

  • Comment removed

  • @1styankeefan well said - that's probably the reason for at least 95% of the dislikes... great song, and Harry Chapin is one of the best songwriters of all-time... maybe tarqua will come back to youtube again sometime soon and give credit where credit is due. In the meantime probably every other person who comments will be doing so just to correct the title - so at least everyone who watches and listens will know who actually wrote and sang it anyway by looking at the comments

  • I'm only 20 years old and I coulda told anyone this is Harry Chapin not Cat

  • @thingy45566 bravo!! amazing how many can't figure it out.  ;)

  • This should remind us to slow down and share life,YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE

  • @bethaymar How do you know you only get one chance?

  • theres alot of bad shit in every religon,why cant we all just have non of it and base our lifes around constantly inproveing morals and explinations

  • @5822391 Ahmen BROTHER!!!

  • Just enjoy the song!

  • @tigersforchrist It wounds me to read what you wrote. All caps. So very angry. Truth + anger=so very much loss. Even Christ represented us as lambs not tigers. (Matthew). I think you are completely sincere but so incredibly wrong. God has such a deep, spectacular affection for people--those who believe and those who don't. He is merciful beyond our tiny comprehension of His mercy. Why am I so smart? I once believed as you do now. Trust me, it is not what honors Him. Kindness. Gentleness. Wow.

  • the thread has taken a bizarre and frightening turn, im afraid

    

  • I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

    -Mohandas Gandhi-

    

  • @beesgirl916  well said ,great quote can I borrow it ...thanks...

  • @tigersforchrist Way to represent Christians guy.

  • I cant find "Hey Jude" by Queen... U think u could post that one too?

  • @bopyop isnt it by the beatles or somtn?

  • @bopyop hey jude is by the beatles, unless queen did a cover

  • @bopyop get off of youtube. QUEEN DIDN'T EVER PERFORM "HEY JUDE"!!! Know your classic rock.

  • @fattybeans2 Hes remarking on how the guy who posted this video messed up the artist.

  • @fattybeans2 Cat Stevens didn't perform Cat's in the Cradle either.

  • @fattybeans2 I think you need to look up "sarcasm" in your dictionary!!

    He knows Queen didn't do Hey Jude, just as he knows Cat Stevens isn't Harry Chapin!

  • @bopyop "Hey Jude" is from the Beattle, so no wounder you cant find it...

  • @bopyop lol thanks glad someone said something

  • @bopyop Hey Jude's by The Bealtes lol I never heard of Queen doing a cover.

  • @HannahHypnotize96 that was called sarcasm

  • @HannahHypnotize96 no, but believe it or not, Eddie Vedder does it. lol

  • @bopyop bro you might be thinkin the beatles. if you put that in the search box you'll get a few more results... lol

  • everyone shut the fuck up

  • think about it dangus, does this sound like Cats Stevens? nah u fucking idiot!
