[luxyaltz219]

This is pop history here and it's wonderful to see and read all the wonderful comments and memorys supplied by everybody who holds this song dear to their heart simply because by sharing these memorys , we are all trasported back in time to that special moement in our or period lives ... regardless our age .

[jujubeira]

Adoro a letra dessa música, música maravilhosa!! Obrigada por postar ^^

Eu queria tanto mais bandas como The Seekers atualmente. ):

"Sonhando em alguém que você podia ser; A vida é uma realidade, nem sempre você pode fugir; Não tenha tanto medo de mudar e reorganizando-se; É hora de saltar para baixo da prateleira um pouco" Perfeito!! *-*

[60otaku3]

De nada, jujubeira-san!!

[railcar123]

Great tune!!

[therealjoebloggs]

My dentist's first name is Georgette, and she was a little child when this was a hit, and DUH, she heard it from the other girls in the playground all the time, so she tells me!

(PS The young woman's name in the movie was "Georgina"-- imagine if the writer had decided to call the story "Gina Girl" *(shudder!)*)

[parranoya100]

Such a violent song.

[DNKOTOR]

Somebody's gotta play the Seekers when the time is right....

[newallthestars100]

This song reminds me of myself, partly because I'm Georgie's (Harrison) girl! Haha, I wish...

[Sportster20042001]

my baby sister was born , when this song first started getting airplay, in '67. i can remember my older sister and brother's singing this to the baby, and, her smiling and coo-ing at them...wonderful times, back then.

[kissmedarrencriss]

I'm 14 years old and I can easily say this is one of my favourite songs, me and my grandmother and grandfather drive up to Bundaberg, Queensland from Sydney, NSW (Australia) every Christmas and we all sing at the top of of our lungs when this one comes on, not to say the others aren't absolutely fantastic as well... thanks for the upload :)

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, kissmedarrencriss-san!!

Otaku3 (*^_^)b

[MADAdeCosworth]

[elliott021]

Takes me back to the 3rd grade. I love it!!

[lumbiaknight87]

never realized how good this group is...are they in the hall of fame?thanks YouTub..i thought this was a Mamas and the Papas song..

[sixtiesforever1966]

@lumbiaknight87 Still the Seekers should be in some kind of Hall of Fame

for a POP group of the 60's

[freddiedebattista]

one of the best

Minami Saori made a very nice cover of this song on her "Shiokaze No Melody" album!

[60otaku3]

Oh, you know it very well!

[luvlyf2ful11]

I was about 7 or 8yo and in hospital to having a hernia op. Don't remember much about the op but I remember singing (performing) all The Seekers songs for the "old" patients and the nurses. I was a hit. Thank you for bringing back good memories.

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, luvlyf2ful11-san!!

[studeystudebaker50]

amazing sound-----what became of the group---?????

[AgentDerp]

@studeystudebaker50 they all got old and died.

[RM1SS]

@studeystudebaker50 Broke up in 1968, got back together in 1993. Still doing the occasional show - their latest was a string of concerts this May with violinist Andre Rieu in Oz and New Zealand. Search Seekers videos here on YouTube - there are at least two from one of the NZ concerts.

Love the upbeat feeling of this, and the excellent harmony.

[GHRBRS]

the sixties were full of happyness, today all music is about party, alochol and girls. this is so original, I love it.

[gfhuntl]

Hits home big time. High school years, first love, and all the rest. Thanks so much for the post. Gerry in Asheville, NC.

[sevildrib]

Love this track, thanks for the post >>>> "you're always window shopping but never stopping to buy" ...could this be the earliest popular music metaphor refering to the substitution of retail therapy for a dissapointing love life?

[yastunt]

Classic. .absolute classic!

[zenbob]

The lead singer for The Seekers was Judith Durham. She has an incredible voice, clear and powerful and emotive. She still sings today in Australia.

[bailey2007ful]

This song brings me back to my childhood days. I LOVE IT!!

[510rotten]

far out man still a great song for 2011

long live the 60,s

[Glinkaism1]

[Glinkaism1]

@60otaku3 So kind of you to do all this! Blessings!

[thishereguitar]

I really think no one's ever recorded a better first 10 seconds. Rest of it works too, no? Can't say I much like the movie though.

[InkoIning]

So this was a 1967 song. I heard this in the early 70's and thought it was a new song. I glad to hear this song again. I remember my childhood.

[kjcollins21]

First song I ever remember listening to!................ALL-TIME favorite.

[Messylin]

RIP Lynn Redgrave.

[saptono]

Actually this is very delicate advice.

[rbsvy91368]

to all the generation xers and those who lived through the 60's These kinds of music was always a pleasure to listen to and also the decade was a very interesting yet trying one. I live in a time warp and don't pay much attention to today's society. I use the computer but most of the time enjoy listening to records and tapes,watch old movies and dress retro (contemporary society's definition) of fashion. I love miniskirts and bellbottoms,leisure suits,etc.

[saptono]

@rbsvy91368 Those were the dinosaur years of music stars!

[rbsvy91368]

@rbsvy91368 today's technology is actually ruining the world. It may help in certain ways but look at how it has made spying and prying on people's lives more. Cell phone conversations aren't PRIVATE. They are recorded. You can even get recordings from the cell phone company. I like my records and 8 tracks and reel to reel players.

[sixtiesforever1966]

This is one of those songs that you remember exactly where and what you were doing the moment that you heard it.

Remember?

[lyricistgirl]

@sixtiesforever1966

I was 14, sat in my bedroom, and it came on the radio. It was the year 1999. I loved it and still do.

[vonniegirl11]

Gee the great memories! Thank you so much for posting the song here!!!

[60otaku3]

You're very welcome, vonniegirl11-san!!

[leerebel72]

Really liked this song in the 60's. I didn't realize they had so many great songs till I found them on you tube a few months ago. Now I listen all the time and also bought a CD...

[Glutenovsky]

This is awesome. So chill. Thank you so much :)

[60otaku3]

You're very welcome, Glutenovsky-san!!

[2cookluv]

I was only 4 years old back in 1967 but I remember hearing it on the radio in Southern California, love the memories

[schmarcie]

@2cookluv Both my parents have passed away and I love my childhood memories. I was 3 in '67 but I remember this song vividly. It reminds me of summertime perhaps because my father gave me a Motorola mini transistor radio for my 5th B-day and an aluminum lawn chair woven with turquoise and white braid. That was the best birthday ever. I really thought I was the cats meow!

Peace be with you.

[deltacoAZ]

@schmarcie Thanks for sharing your memories. It is such a happy song :)

[inkey2]

this almost sounds like something Lennon-and-McCartney would have written in the early years

[NobodyFucksWithJesus]

Dammit I can't stop playing this song.

[tIMThumbler]

this was the age of the seal of the skin of each part of us of the peace that the girls carried after the cold war was brought to order and we built on - the evangelistic peace we eulogised from the safe frequencies

cheers

- jitters p.s. there was no one girl

I'm 13 years old and I think every day : why did i have to born in this era i think that only 20 percent (yes its only a guess) of this world likes good music like this please God if you excist make this good music come back again.

[Winedaboo]

[gwen0811]

wonderful  song takes me back a long time

[coachbk1]

This is my absolute #1 guilty pleasure song of the 1960's. I will never be ashamed to say I love this song. Such a beautiful voice. I also love "I'll Never Find Another You" and "A World Of Our Own" too!

[ratsRfab]

I have really gotten into this song from it being on The Comic Strip and French and Saunders. Such an up beat catchy song. :)

Great Song- Great movie!!

[thesadako66]

good song

[corky1864]

What instrument is used to make the wistleing sound in the begginng of the song? It is repeated in the middle and the end. I googled it and nothing does any one have a def. answer?

[puppydoug]

@corky1864 it was no instrument but the human sound from between the lips of a professional whistler. True!

[omegaman3001962]

She is beautiful,

Ahh, October, 1966, at the beginning of a wonderful dating relationship that junior year in high school...this song reminds me of it all...

This song describes me so well, if I didn't know better I'd swear it was written for me.

[UNIT4PLUS1]

オタクさんへ

この曲は当時 わが国でも大ヒットしましたね｡なぜか今でもこの曲を聞くと高校­時代の文化祭で(しかも高校の体育館ですね｡)歌った男女混声の­フォークグループを思い出します｡(親しい間柄では無かったので­現況は知らないがお互い好い歳でしょう･･｡) この曲の前にPPMの曲を歌ったのですっかり良い気分でしたが､­ジョージガールに続いて｢時には母のない子のように｣なんて歌う­もんだから会場の雰囲気は支離滅裂状態になりました｡｢こいつら­何を歌いたいんだか分からん！!｣と思ったのは小生を含めて洋楽­好きな仲間数名でした｡(なんかヘラヘラ笑って体育館を出た様な­記憶があります｡)しかし脈絡無く人前で歌うのも｢若さの特権｣­かも知れませんね｡とても好みの曲のアップ 有難う御座います｡(お粗末ながら妙な思い出も蘇りました｡)

[60otaku3]

UNIT4PLUS1さん、コメントをありがとうございます！

まあいつの世も学生時代の無節操加減は至極当たり前の事、今とな­っては微笑ましい想い出ですね。



[martinjp1958]

Very strong feeling for 1966 when I hear this. It was incredibly popular at the time - and always on the radio. Rather strange film tho', I always thought - very different in tone to the innocent air of this song.

[edson21357]

Very good 60otaku3, I was 12 years old and this music a sucess here in Brazil. Great memories listening this music. Regards

This song is a treasure!

[filthyduck]

feel like I just walked into a Gidget movie!

[petclark1]

I remember songs being much shorter back in the day but never realised this classic was ONLY 2:16 in length. Most acts today take that long just to get a good shine going while pole dancing or some other equally tasteless act. Lord knows the '60's weren't perfect but at least we had hope. Now, even that's gone.

[sevenonpaper1]

??? this isn't mono. Why say that? I can hear the whislting part on my right side and not on the left.

[60otaku3]

In their recent CDs, most of this song are stereo versions.

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[Hilu8D]

What does georgy mean?

[damnyoustamos]

It's her name.

[Hilu8D]

@damnyoustamos Ah ok! Thank you! :)

[1969pontiac1]

@Hilu8D You may know this, there was a movie made in 1966 and the girl Lynn Redgrave played the girl named Georgy. Watch the movie if you can and you will see a real classic.

[sixtiesforever1966]

@1969pontiac1 Lynn Redgrave just passed away this year.

Another great piece of 60's history gone. Like to see them live forever.

One can Dream cant one! Sir David

[canonqueen]

this is 2 minutes 15 seconds of pure pop magic.

[me45404]

This is good music. How did we end up with the crap we got today?

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@me45404 That's a good question! Since there's over 81,000 views, maybe we can all figure out how to get great music like Georgy Girl back on the airwaves. I'm ready for more great music of yesteryear!

[chillichomper]

@me45404 The dumbing down of america thats how. What are the issues today? Muslims blowing us up. The gov spending like there's no tommorow and rap crap all over the place. We don't have the cojones to tell the muslims that they need to conform to the same rules as everyone else and before them. We are so afraid of lawyers that we pass kids who have no business of making it to the next grade and we settle for sample music instead of original stuff to fill our ipods!

[bestekcj]

As we allow Negro in entertainment industry, thus we are hearing so many noises such as rap.

@bestekcj Don't you have a KKK meeting to go to?

[medrecs]

I grew up in the sixies and sometimes wish I could go back, the Seekers songs bring back such good memories for me.

[cschoon1213]

I love this song. I listened to it as a kid. I wish music was like this today!

[TheDavidjoy]

Carnaby street, The kings Road in the 60's just another world. Defining moments of my youth. Gone for ever except the music brings it all back. Judith has a great voice.
