I never knew the name of this song and it just killed me, then at work monday we were listening to the oldies station and a co-worker said, oh that's "the horse", she used to play it in band in her high school...I told her for the longest I wanted to know the name of the song, and now I do.)
when I was 16 my girlfriend Diane Walker took me to her fathers house on Humboldt and Rockland.Her 7 year old brother rocked the shit outta this record.That little boy did the horse,bucking and shit...he was bad.
north junior high school, waco,tx ....every single assembly for 3 straight years they played this song and you know what , they were better ! it helps when you know only 7 songs.
When I was in the Downey (CA) High Marching Band during the late '70's, we played this song in the stands during the game. We absolutely ROCKED this song!
We had some pretty powerful trumpet players back then and they really wailed on this song.
Our band director finally pulled the song during my junior/senior year because he said that he couldn't find the music anymore. I think he just got tired of hearing it. We sure didn't.
This takes me back to the football games in high school. I can see it so clearly; the players, the cheerleaders, the dance team at half-time! Thanks for sharing. Love it!!!!
Okay, here's a question for you: Why did the instrumental, apparently intended as side b, become the big hit, while the vocal version, apparently intended as the a side, seemed to go unnoticed? Where is the vocal version, anyway!? Okay, now, I get it, after reading the history: The vocal version was really called "Love Is All Right," which apparently has nothing to do with Rick Springfield's 1980 song of the same name. My God, record labels made slip-ups even back then!
Okay, here's a question for you: Why did the instrumental, apparently intended as side b, become the big hit, while the vocal version, apparently intended as the a side, seemed to go unnoticed? Where is the vocal version, anyway!?
Call me crazy, but I distinctly remember hearing a DJ on a college st. in my hometown of Toronto once playing "The Horsen-Up". It was -apparently- a deliberate collision of "Tighen Up" and "The Horse", complete with Cliff & Archie riffing on the novelty of this fact -"Hey, whaddya doin' on my record?" "ME? Whadda YOU doin' on MY record?!"- over the band. The ultimate proto-mashup? The difference being that the weaving-together is organic, arranged and played live. Did I dream this?
An older friend told me of it, and how she did a improv "suggestive" dance to it in the Jr-high cafeteria during lunch that got her in deep trouble. This was back in 1959, going by her birth-date. ('45)
After I found a copy for myself (Okay, really for her) and heard it once, I played it again & visualized her dancing to it... Shaking her hips frenetically to the drum-beat during the bridge. (She always liked to shake her hips while dancing) It's a shame she can't move her like that anymore.
One of my favorite instrumentals since I first heard it in 1972: I was intrigued to learn it was originally recorded to accompany a song sung by Cliff Nobles. It's much better without any vocals.
I played this song religiously from 1977 thru 1988 in junior high/high school/UK (KY) college pep band! Even the cheerleaders had a routine to it when we would play it. Can't find the song on lime/frost wire and would kill to have it for my mp3 player. Blast from the past! (Let's go Bucs/Tomcats/Wildcats! - swing to the left - swing to the right). If you were in band and did the swing thing, YOU ROCK!
I was 11 when my Dad introduced The Horse to me. I thought the label was yellow. The band is tight! Once when the AM station played The Horse I put the record on my turntable at the same and both played in perfect time! lol!
When I was in high school band this was the one number we were sure we didn't suck on. In retrospect by any objective standard we probably sucked doing this song too but we had a lot of fun doing so...
I really think this song is about heroin ,,,,,it was called horse in the streets and this was made in the late 60's when that shit was an epidemic !!!!!
its wierd on the monster hits various lp released by colimbia house, its a Vocal version! its not love is all right either.....cool canadian pressing i know in us it was on PHIL-LA of soul label
@UltimateHero13 our band was so good in 2004-2008 we played alot of good song like this one. but 2009-2010 our new band diretor plays the same damn songs ever game. we used to play: funky music, soul man, party like a rock star, crank dat, the horse and alot of rap, jazz, and other good songs
Wasn't this song, according to legend, a "b" side, but a dj somewhere played the wrong side by accident, and it ("The Horse") became a hit? I seem to remember this story years ago.
This shout out is for ( discusyan ).. Thank you so much.. for takeing me back to my youth.. you gave me so much joy today, its people like you that keep music alive for us to enjoy.. so for that i say Bravo!!.. bless you and your family.. keep the music commin... great job.. your friend Ron. peace and love :)
@primogennaio Foolish comment. Many great hip-hop artists such as the Roots, Tribe called quest, and Madlib were influenced by this and they've continued it's relevancy with their own music.
@misc4jb You're the fool. Hip hop can't compare to the music of the 1950s, 60s, 70s. Just listen to the difference. Some observations don't require a ph.D., just common sense.
@primogennaio Your "common sense" seems to lack the ability to avoid making blatant generalizations about entire genres of music. There's no common sense, only ignorance, in a phrase like that. Groups like A Tribe Called Quest and Gangstarr embraced jazz and funk and helped carry the sound to a younger generation of listeners who otherwise wouldn't have given this stuff a chance. The problem is folks like you, who choose a path of believing nothing past your generation is worth listening to.
TRRUST ME ON THIS ONE THE FIRST DANCING MASCOT EVEN BEFORE THE CHICKEN WAS A GUY IN FORT SMITH ARK WHO LATER RECIEVED A SCHOLARSHIP TO COLLEGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS HIS NAME WAS SWEET P THE DANCING RAZORBACK THIS WAS HIS FAVORITE TUNE AND HE WOULD CHALLENGE OTHER MASCOTS TO OUT DANCE HIM And they never won.
Believe it or not, this is a fight song for a high school I went to for a couple of years. Pretty fun song indeed :) Jacksonville, Alabama. Look up the JSU Marching Southerners for some sound from down here :) No video of the high school I don't think.
what ever happened to a killer horn section???? tower of power, average white band....... do miss it! check out a new austin group called mingo fishtrap. really like those guys. :)
Te gek nummer. Was populair binnen onze gelederen. Was ook de tunue van Veronica's Drive-Inn Show. In de tijd van de Swinging Soul Machine, R'dam The Free, Pepper & Soul. Wat konden wij goed dansen zeg. En natuurlijk de mooiste meiden.
I've always loved this song. I see all the posts here about it being a staple in the high school band circuit, and I've never heard this song other than on the radio. I never knew the name until today when the DJ actually gave the title and artist. It always reminded me of a late 60s, early 70s cop/mystery/drama/action show.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Our HS fight song was Steam "Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". Usually when some player got his neck broken and they carried him off the field and dumped his ass in the trash can.
Cliff Nobles and Company: " The Horse" will give you a very early peek at MFSB who played all the background music....actually Cliff Nobles wasn't even there for the session!
your band director rocks!! so i would second that, GO BULLDOGS. I always thought if i was a band director i would have my students play the nastiest danciest funk music during halftime shows.
"The Horse" war jahrelang die Erkennungsmelodie von Radio Veronica, als die noch mit ihrem "Piratensender" von einem Schiff vor der Küste Hollands Radio machten.... Muss Mitte der 70er gewesen sein...
This is brings back great memories from my high school I loved this song I played sax you could really rock this song it was easy and so much fun to play GREAT POST.....
this was my middle school fight song. at least it was in the 70's, Benjamin Stoddart Middle School in a little town called Waldorf. you might know the town as the band Good Charlotte is from there as well.
what was the school like when you went there? I seem to remember a rather large anchor (like from a big navy ship) out in front of the school. as a goofy middle school boy we would climb all over it and stand on the top. I guess we thought that was cool, looking back it was kinda goofy. oh well.....
fart fart i just say stuff randomly so dont laugh be a pickle if u dont like my spell check. wii sports comes with the wii console its freaking awesome so buy yourself a wii today!!!! watch my horse nod its very very very fine nodding on my video, a very fine horse!
Thank you so much for uploading this masterpiece. I knew the Madlib version first (sounddirections YNQ the horse) and I found this particular version at a record store abroad and I havnt had any money left to get it. awfully expensive for someone who doesnt collect rare records but good music. I love it!
Hitchin' it up to the Horse as they introduced the song on the radio in 1968. Great instrumental of the time which includes Young Holt Unlimited's Soulful Strut and Mason Williams' Classical Gas. Great instrumentals.
I'm really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much!

You are right, the dance was called "The Horse." The dance came before the music. I posted a very interesting story about how the instrumental came about in another "The Horse." posting.

what was the school like when you went there? I seem to remember a rather large anchor (like from a big navy ship) out in front of the school. as a goofy middle school boy we would climb all over it and stand on the top. I guess we thought that was cool, looking back it was kinda goofy. oh well.....

They used to use this as the theme song for a show out of Atlantic City called "Summertime on the Steel Pier". Ah, memories!

Thank you so much for uploading this masterpiece. I knew the Madlib version first (sounddirections YNQ the horse) and I found this particular version at a record store abroad and I havnt had any money left to get it. awfully expensive for someone who doesnt collect rare records but good music. I love it!

Hitchin' it up to the Horse as they introduced the song on the radio in 1968. Great instrumental of the time which includes Young Holt Unlimited's Soulful Strut and Mason Williams' Classical Gas. Great instrumentals.

Funky horns, funky guitar, funky bass, funky drums, what more could you possibly want? This is so much better than the vocal version :)

You are right, the dance was called "The Horse." The dance came before the music. I posted a very interesting story about how the instrumental came about in another "The Horse." posting.
