The Temptations - The Way You Do The Things You Do

[arjun2191]

When you're actually in love, you know EXACTLY what he means. This song doesn't make me feel happy - it makes me feel elated. Thanks dalkey.

[MrAliquippawill1]

1964 (when the Tempt's introduced this tune to the world), seems like SUCH a long time ago! I was 8 years of age, and I actually recall my Father possessing the 45' of this recording......and playing it repeatedly. You could say that I received an early "baptism" in the greatness of the Temptations....an experience that truly helped me appreciate "classic" R&B.

[radnitz58]

Great song. And thanks for the background info on it.

[TWAspacefairy75]

I remember as a young lad we used to line dance to this song....it's an easy song to mash potato to!! My god was it that long ago???? Man what memories....thanks for posting this song....it surely brings back memories.

[Savetheworld714]

Wow back in those days men in music bands used to wear suits and formal shirts.

Now they wear see-through shirts and pants that are about to come off.

Times have really changed...

[64522744]

i was listening to ub40's veersion and i felt there was a oldies feeling to it. i searched the song again and found this for the first time

[tarkan525201]

reminds of stephen kings IT movie when they got the bike when they were older

[KnoXEmpire]

I'm 21 and I love this music, when I was younger I used to tag along all the time with my dad and his towing business and obviously the oldies station is the only station he had on. even though my friends loved the music of our time I still loved this, as I got older I grew to love both but to me I don't understand how anyone could dislike this kind of music, there's a certain something about that is irreplaceable, to me anyway.

[Jaakunakuma]

Can the Temptations appeal to white people? Cause they do. :)

[hotmn4u]

@Jaakunakuma 'cause its the way the temptations do the things they do

[Chickynalgpro2]

Temptations.. Forever..

True music shall live on forever

[MrJazzrat]

When I was a little boy, my dad took me to a friends house and we say the Temptations there. They were practicing for a show in Boston that night and they were singing this song. Memories!!!! WoW

[temptyfan]

@MrJazzrat wow! I am so jealous! lucky you

[5871248]

@hunyutheowner well not quite... papa was a rolling stone (try it) - did some psychedelic stuff too

[snoopy99990]

They made a modified version of this for the now defunct Australian Airlines in the early nineties only to be ditched for Peter Allen's I still call Australia home when Qantas and Australian Merged.Shameful really.

[CMloveify]

@SergeantChocolate

This.



[wookywookywow]

i'm 14 this is my type of song lovee old music and i think this new music is terrible even though i was born in it's time my music is from the 1950's-70's

[RedClown7]

there just arent any words good enough to describe how good the classics are. im 19 goin on 20 and i love these guys along with many other artists from this time period.

[JamelleJonas]

did you saw nick jonas, jamie foxx, seal and john legend singing

the temptations medley?

they're awesome!

[keeffingas]

black people making white music...

[thefpc123]

@keeffingas but 100 times better

[BlacknesUnforgivable]

@keeffingas this isnt white music

[CharlesBarry]

@BlacknesUnforgivable You are so wrong, this the peoples music, and I'am white P.S. don't be a racist.

[06bigd2000]

@CharlesBarry He wasn't trying to be a racist. Another person called it white music and BlacknesUnforgivable was only correcting him.

[CharlesBarry]

@06bigd2000 Hi thanks for the reply, o. k. now I understand !

[johnlind1228]

@keeffingas .....and when they add soul its sound is so much better still good but check out the sound . exp: seal and croft/isley brothers - summer breeze; beatles/lakeside - i want to hold your hand; there are more but cant bring them forth???????????? there are also some blks that did remakes of other blks dionne warwick/luther vandross - a house is not a home and that was then, back in the day now everyone is doing it putting their own spin on a very good song

[contrelesidiots]

what does it mean ( You're really swep me off my feet) can anyone explaine me this sentence [plz

[BlaqueReign25]

@contrelesidiots When Eddie says you really swept me off my feet, he is basically saying the things that you do have really made me fall in love with you or really made me like you a lot and you did it quick. That is basically what he is saying when he says that. I hope this helps.

[purplegurl79]

I grew up listening to Motown. This is music to me!

[purplegurl79]

@michaeljacksonfan21 I feel ya! It makes me want to vomit! What the hell happen to music??!!

[playboatify]

another great cha-cha that typified many motown songs. 1/2 of greatest Tempts album are moderate tempos or cha-chas.

[SuperKyky123]

you could be an hour

I LOVE THEM!!!

[bluesboy25000]

I love the Temptations. My mom is huge on Motown

[1012fraser]

@bluesboy25000 I love the Temptations. My mom is huge in general.

[goldcrayon2]

[goldcrayon2]

@1012fraser lol

[asplanned26]

aloe blacc - music is not dead. ignore bieber.

[malakaijub]

why the fuck does justin beiber always come up in every damn discussion

[CorieandBrenda]

@malakaijub omfg its soooo fucking annoying! everybody needs to get a life and stop talking about justin bieber allllllll the time!

[hotmn4u]

@malakaijub because like 99% of todays music he stinks

[Mumsilius]

I love this song! And I also love Justin Bieber... Yeah yeah I know=Don't be hatin!

[shaylamusic91]

There are a lot of talented people out there in this day and age as well. Stop focusing so much on the things that you think are crap. There's really a good amount of talent out there. This music is classic and there'll never be anything like it again. Be thankful that this kind of music is still available for us to listen to. We may never have music like this again, but there will always be the classics.

[Bertrumnern1]

This song always gets me dancing round the house.......Love it!!!!!!!!!!

[cocaac]

grrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa­t song!!! 500 thumbs up !!!

[oxshortaybabixo]

it's songs like this that make me wish i had lived in the 60s so i could havve experienced this

[andrew324drs]

There is somthing about this music that tingles down my spine

[punkiny1]

So good!!!

[Jonnyfletchbob]

Alright, heres a rant which is going to get a lot of thumbs down probably but fuck it, why on Temptations videos is all the top voted comments mentioning modern music? There is no reason to bring it up, why do you care what other people listen to? I like listening to house music to metal music, folk music to motown music, etc; I just don't get the reason of bringing it up? Each music gives me a different feel and thats why I differ in various genres, there rant over! :)

[clayschocolat]

@Jonnyfletchbob Well said!! hopefully ur comment is the highest rated! I can't stand seeing jb and hm rants on oldies videos ( didn't want to spell out their names on purpose lol ^_^)

[Verradonairun]

@Jonnyfletchbob You complain about top rated comments mentioning different genres and yet you do it yourself?

[drea875]

saw the movie last night n fell in love with the song :]

[Napoleanman1999]

@drea875 the temtations the movie i saw it to loved and it made me like the Temps evn more

[andrew324drs]

@Napoleanman1999 spell it right thats disrespect its 'The Temptations'

[SILLYGRLOWENS]

Good Ass Tunes <3

[khmerkiddjohnny]

we got 4 people who like hannah montana and justin bieber FUCK THEM!!!!!

[n3moore]

@khmerkiddjohnny what the fuck does this video have to do with them? fuck YOU for even mentioning them.

[khmerkiddjohnny]

@n3moore your a dumb ass if you you cant read wat im talkin about.. you must have that beaver fever fukkin dick.

[n3moore]

@khmerkiddjohnny yeah, i have a "beaver fever" because i'm the one mentioning him in a video that has nothing to do with him...you haters are just as annoying as his fans.

[blueeyes123ize]

@khmerkiddjohnny

[xIPJG]

Everyone who said music has died is entitled to their opinion but in my opinion its not dead, but buried deep underground.

[IWillKeepThisAccount]

@xIPJG Very well said.

[IVLeagueMusik]

@xIPJG true and alot of mainstream artists only make music for money instead of for art its sad

[1811boredinlex]

@xIPJG

it may as well be dead with all this hip hop crap and pop-country cross over B.S. but i do believe you're right.. it's not totally dead.. most people still enjoy this kind of music.

[1985Eazye]

@1811boredinlex hip hop at one point was excellent.

[1811boredinlex]

@1985Eazye

hip hop is one thing i could live without, but then it's personal taste :)

i'm a die hard rock fan, but these guys just plain ROCK :)

[TheAmericanFreeBird]

@xIPJG so true bro

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

@xIPJG Next to the oil

[RomiEzzo]

@xIPJG Let's dig it back up!!!

[DrFunk3113]

@xIPJG Truths crushed to the ground...shall rise again!

[direfranchement]

To all of you contending that good music hasn't died as Greenice stated so eloquently: even if there is quality music being made, if no one is hearing it as it isn't being played on radio, what is the difference? It may as well be dead with no audience! There are artists produciing quality music throughout the genres, but hell, it seems the popular palate has soured for quality and turned onto slop!!!

[gostars3000]

My brother hates this song just bc it was in the movie IT (which scared him green btw) Oh well, it's still a great song

[SuperBceltics]

@gostars3000 thats funny thats where i herd this song great movie even betterr song

[metalisbetter1o00]

Good music is NOT dead people, it's just not popular. Try internet radio or something. All it takes is a little bit of searching to find some really good stuff

[Madisern91]

@metalisbetter1o00 totally agree!!!

[Harbringe]

The music hasn't died its just harder to find because of all the bad music that's being pushed these days .Back in the day when the music industry was just starting they were less prone to take a chance on just mediocre songs but today because of packaging of form over substance they will try to sell us just about anything .Today you just gotta be better at sifting through crap

[ddsharper]

@Harbringe little deeper than that. check out jay-zee deception on forerunner777's channel along with a great website called, the industry exposed. peace out.

[stretfodenda57]

Classics like these never die , they just keep rolling on 4 ever...Peace to all soul Brothers & Sisters..

[Idnar101020]

Now I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head all day tomorrow :P

[1uniqueAmanda]

We're making a 1958 party. Does anybody know where or how to know some good songs from around that time? Or any suggestions of songs that highlight the 1950's.

[darkbutnotemo]

@1uniqueAmanda ask your grandma.

[funkmasterjee]

@1uniqueAmanda a 1964 or 1965 party would be way better - much better music

[qwertymanor]

Best song ever, just another Smokey classic.

[mstaytay0111]

I love this song!!! Me & my Daddy used to listen to this while he was driving & do all the litle motions like sweep a broom, hold a candle, & LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!!! (DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!!): SPRAY THE PERFUME!!! HaHa...I Love this song...I mis the old days like totally... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3..

[ANI24BOI]

There's nothing like the oldies!!! The greatest group who ever lived!

[ldonhawk]

@ANI24BOI Amen, and amen!

[LDPatman1]

Nothing but the the best crackin' music ever made!

[dymin05]

this is,or this was, or this is stall is the best sounds. to me. thats how I fill.

[mindyourbizok]

I love this song! Excellent lyrics!

[thoughtfinder]

4 People missed the like button and don't know good music when they hear it.

[Chickynalgpro2]

4 people missed the like button!?! :O!!!!!!

[Chickynalgpro2]

True Music... Is Gone... please let another good band form and create beautiful music, such as this.

[girlsrock123100]

4 people dont know good music.

[jimmyjamzit1]

the lyrics are soo cool!!!

[aradieb]

simply great

[chadthrow1]

it took me forever to find this song. was stuck in my head for days.

[michealjacksonfan21]

(Michael Jackson,temptations,muddy walters)....then..............­............FUCKING "HANNA MONTANA AND JUSTIN BIEBER?"

[paulette102451]

@michealjacksonfan21 i know that right. they need to sty in their own catergory

[CmoreBuhts]

@michealjacksonfan21 The devil is hard at work =P

[pmdnyc]

@michealjacksonfan21 No offens but michael jackson does not belong in the same sentence as the temptations and muddy waters. he is not good enough. he was a talented performer..no doubt. but without the video era he would be a trivia question. the Temps and Muddy were the real deal.

[flameburner]

@michealjacksonfan21 hanna montana is show on disney Miley Cyrus lolz, Take down your spam no one should compare kids music to older people music.

[binturong1000]

@flameburner as pertty as yo are you could have been a peacock

you know you could have been a giraffe

The way you stole my heart you know you could have been a leopard And baby your'e so smart you could have been a baboon you know you could have been a panda. you coulsd have been a hyena

[binturong1000]

@flameburner as pertty as yo are you could have been a peacock

you know you could have been a giraffe

The way you stole my heart you know you could have been a leopard And baby your'e so smart you could have been a baboon you know you could have been a panda. you coulsd have been a hyena and thats' my zoo version of this

[edie19591]

Fabulous! such perfect harmony and timing, rhythm, vocals. . . ..just the best!

[BoundaryShift]

Anyone else reminded of Gina Davis singing this song in Thelma and Louise?

[sexyblackt4l]

i love this song

[Individuell83]

I heard the production costed 22 thousand dollars xD

I'm not sure why

I think it's because phil spector was a perfectionist and they recorded about 150 takes until for HIM was everything perfect...

tina did a great job

great song :D

[RUPERTALBETHEL]

LOVE THIS SONG

[hiroshir]

I like Ub 40 version betta.

[GinaIsALoserFace]

i wish they still sang (not violently rap) about love (not sex).

[jaliaq515]

the people who played them on the movie do kinda look like them

[bangitslo]

This is the Anti-Rap. Rap Music KILLED Singing! Rap Music killed R&B. And I'm Black so I don't wany ANY negative racist responses!!!

[illusion0427]

@bangitslo Ay im half black & 16 and yeah i do agree, even though i do listin to it now(real hip hop), but this is what i grew up on, and love it.

[NoraWakelyTenley]

Who are the three idiots who voted dislike? Obviously they must buy into the garbage that is radio music these days. They are so lost they don't even know what REAL music sounds like! Temptations Fan Forever!
