[beatnikbony]

You are not living in the seventies

[2000tc88]

This clip is so LAME,SHIT!,I like the song but after looking for this song and finding THIS clip I just thought,OH SHIT,at 2:20 I gave up and looked for a better version.Show the Band.

[MrKutthecrap]

BLOODY GENIUS THIS GUY IS..

[congodaddy]

Tthere should have been a 007 movie for this song :-P

[user99673]

Is it a crime I like both Seal's version and the original?

[KabukiGallery]

i am so getting tired people flaming that Beiber and Gag.. they are actually just helping those artist like idiots.. might as well not mention shit about them. PEOPLE THINK BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING

[beatnikbony]

@KabukiGallery totally agree

[kidyubyub]

I remember when I first heard this song on the radio back in '76. I was 10 at the time. I have loved it ever since, along with the rest of SMB songs.

[CWBou812]

If real music like this is played loud enough and within range of Justin has a Beaver or Lady Caca they instantly burst into flames from the shock of hearing what good music actually is. Shorty after that they? then self destruct, only to respawn later as turds in the nearest city sewer plant. Thats where they can then start the long and perilous journey to grow into back into their full forms again if they can just listen to enough bad modern "music" to nurse themselves back to health.

[xee00]

k...i want to know who thinks of Space Jam when they hear this song?

[pizzahutmobile]

I freakin' love this song

[4Leyva]

Space Jam!! YEAH!

[Pikminsi]

Swag

[ThatJustHappened00]

Thumbs up is you listed/played this more than once in a row... Nostalgia will do that.

[Rayne244Vampire]

Awesome song, I hope everyone gives it a thumbs up!

[DAZZISM]

Thumbs up if you heard this on Space Jam.

[laurenchantalbray]

This is hilarious, i love it lol. AWESOME SONG YEYEA!

[CHAS1422]

I remember the first time I heard this song. The theme of time slipping into the future seemed so profound. I commited to my memory the details of my surroundings and thoughts, so I could see if I could recall them each time I heard this song. My memory gets a little less clear, but it hasn't failed yet.

What an awesome song, thanks for the post.

[plimsoul27]

One of my favorite songs...it takes me to the ethereal realms...:) Thanks for posting....

[BadSquishyy]

I go to mars when i hear this.. :) ahah

[DieAnotherDay5]

How much pot was smoked to produce this video?

[ryands126359]

I feel like im trippin balls

[kja427]

THIS was worthy of being a #1 single on The Billboard Pop Charts, NOT "Rock N Me"! Believeth Thou It!

[DrFunkensteiner]

I discovered this band yesterday thanks to Alice Cooper's radio station.

Brilliant.

[K00LAIDMAN4eVeR]

[KREEPNASTY1]

I love Steve Miller. Always have. But just ten more pounds and he coulda been Meatloaf in this video.

[moondawgee]

That was an awesome video...but I have a question for you....have you ever seen a real UFO...you know from another world kind of UFO...do you even believe were being visited and have been for thousands of years? Well I just moved to this awesomely beautiful city in southern Utah, called St George and UFO's are alive and well here...don't believe me?...I filmed them and they are flashing rainbow colors..red, blue,yellow, green, and white, click on my moondawgee moniker under this box to see them.

[3manytoasters]

@moondawgee Cool story, bro.

[tuber76er]

@moondawgee I see them all the time up here too!

[bigblackdaddyblue]

maybe old, it's sooooooo smoothing.

[JakeScythe]

I love how the length of the song is 4:20

[PaperLuna]

Says: " Happy 68th Birthday - Steve Miller. "

[MrGeno502]

Happy Birthday Steve Miller !

[shanehenning26]

[billkropp]

[barry5205]

Bring back the best of my high school memories. thanks

[Clauds71]

That's some mean guitar, great track!

[lurch321]

Steve is one of those people who has definitely gotten better-looking with age.

[gothos1000]

Tool's covered Nugent, Zep..even the Ramones.. I've pictured them playing this.. I think it'd be epic.

[cjfr0st]

27 people agree that space jam ruined this song



[shanehenning26]

great song

[MrVeesworld]

I want that guitar strap badly.

[LilMonsterBitches]

The video is 4:20 hahah. Stoned.

[gypsyThree97]

Looks like the kid from two and a half men...lol

[mavzolej]

'I wanna fly like a nigga..."

[maisecret1]

the futue is now time is after everything is impermanent

[OctavianVIVIVI]

It's kinda funny, he is wearing that big heavy double neck SG, but he never uses the upper 12-string... just sayin...

[AaronShowbiz]

@cafesk81 y'know what, I totally agree with you on all levels. Long live rock and roll, and not Bieber...

[deicidalmaniac]

@cafesk81 If you copy and paste crap like that then your no better..

[lezzliea]

@cafesk81 You say Bon Jovi,I say you know fuck-all about 'rock' music.

[c0mf0rta61ynum6]

@cafesk81 SHUT THE HELL UP!

[The4thGuy]

@cafesk81 Bon Jovi? Are you fucking kidding me?

[arifernandez23]

wow... Now, I can see how young I am... I thought this song was a HIT from Seal (Space Jam)... wonderful...However, Seal's version is better!

[kjallesoft]

TIME? Right...it just keeps on "Slippin into "The Future"

That does not mean "It' got to be Now or Never , but MAYBE it really just does...

It Is YOUR LIFE and how HOW you deal with it.

[dictator54]

it was released in the 90's by seal and yu guessed it , it was a hit

[MrVeesworld]

This is the type of song that songwriters, such as myself, can only wish and dream of writing.

[starladodge3]

This is my favorite song by them and I have seen them in concert and they were GREAT!!

[martinwhosoever]

I love this version more than Seal's

[lastdaysguitar]

@martinwhosoever This is THE definitive version... and always will be.

[rayheyheyhey]

@martinwhosoever ofcourse you do, this is the original by the original artist, no other version will ever beat it :)

[hillary870]

Wow! This takes me waaay back! Love it!

[tioninee]

is he doing all this music on a guitar? the man is magic :)

[shanehenning26]

great song

[egurzi]

i want to fly like an eagle to the sea-let my body carry me. til im free- feed the babies- clothe the children w no shoes on their feet-simulate it--i can tell you about it w gleam in my eye-because i'm fucking BORED overweight and dont know how to do all these insect tests going on in my house

[stingray1964]

Awesome, this was my favorite song when I was in 6th grade back in 1976....I would have given ANYTHING to see this back then....man!!

[neoviking69]

How come whenever is says "HQ" it sounds like shit?

[l1u2k0e3]

@neoviking69 because hq isnt audio. its picture. or is that definition. i dont know turn it up

[joybosla]

yes!!! awesome!!!

[rorydory1983]

cool song

[3rdfloorsuicide]

how could anyone dislike this!

[0ut0fthisw0rld100]

tic tac tu tu tu ruuu....

[SwampyQ2]

wanna fly like a negro...

[borneo215]

@SwampyQ2 ahahahahahahahahhaahahhahahaha­aa

[Vash1286]

one of the few songs in which the original and the cover (by Seal) are just amazing.

[0ut0fthisw0rld100]

cool song ...so relaxn

[Unshackledtruth]

Sometime in the future you will fly with your spirit into the sky with Jesus and be free forever.

[seanymph1251]

SO VERY TRUE! I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE NORFOLK EAGLES, I DEDICATE THIS TO MAMA..

[RayRox17]

ACID

[spencewild]

4 mins and 20 seconds long.. coincidence? i think not. <3 this is actually my favorite song to blaze to lol.

[villain68]

Yes, this song is about getting HIGH!!

[ash3255]

i like the originally not the new one

[tcmartin1964]

Music like this gives you a natural high, you don't need chemicals!

[tcmartin1964]

Music like this gives you a natural high, you don't need chemicals!

[MsCatPat1]

Fantastic! 

[darthwesty]

It's a real shame that these guys haven't yet made it into the Rock N' Roll hall of fame yet. They've really paved the way for all of pop culture today; personally, these guys are more influential to me as a musician than bands like Aerosmith or even the Stones.

[curiegurl1]

This is a great song! When I listen to this, I feel as if memories just pass before my eyes. When I hear the music, they sound so much like the sound effects of Super Mario games. ;)

[keeljoy247]

this brings back memories of my kindergarden days when me best friend James McWiggins brought this song into class on his new tape recorder for show-and-tell

[thegosu123]

So...smooth...

[pbmax]

Perfect music to get high too.

[harobmx123]

@pbmax 9:42am wake n bake =)

[borneo215]

i cant fukkin believe this was made in 1976? people today with all this technology cant make a song even close to this im so amazed this was made in 1976 when nobody really had the equipment musicians have today wow steve miller is a musical genius what a smart man it must of taken alot of brains to pull of a song as good as this

[sayleswendy]

No disrespect, I loved this song but find time has kinda messed with it? I think the music and visuals a bit weird?

[rideoption2008]

@benopolly you are so cool

[2000wildthing]

First time I've seen this vid. Thanks for posting.

[AFSxAFI]

look at how long the video is.. haha raw ass song

[TheAndval]

I always thought this song was only like 15 years old. I remember listening to it when i was 4 and thought it was a brand new song

[dolldeelight]

my boy friend just asked me to look for this song and we're listening to it now. songs form the 70's makes me feel good.

[shanehenning26]

great song

[ToontownNerf]

Better video than kesha



[Kee715]

@ToontownNerf Not much of an achievement there. :p

[superbulldog81]

Anybody can hold a double neck guitar, but only a few

people can master it like Steve Miller, along with

Alex Lifeson of Rush!!

[postrealitysyndrome]

@superbulldog81

Perhaps, but Steve only played the 6-string part throughout the song! It matched his suit nicely, though. Sure looks heavy--note the use of the stool. Quite a groovy song though for sure.

[sda1225]

real, real music. luv the 70's

[RockMan356]

Dude this song just sums up the 70's

[mrseazye]

This is my shit

[69stepe]

C'est vrais le Hammond est vraiment exellent!!!

[TheChugulator]

This seriously could have been released in the 90's and it would have been awesome. SO AHEAD OF ITS TIME

[mmundo219]

@TheChugulator cuz...Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin' into the future :]

[suklijash13]

@TheChugulator could've been released yesterday and it'd still be awsome :D

[FetaCheese222]

@TheChugulator They did. Seal covered it. It sucked.

[1061sarahs]

@TheChugulator you're so right. there's just something about this song that wants you to play it over and over. the whole structure of the song is just so completely genius...

[piggyfatt]

@TheChugulator Have you noticed it's "Slippin into the future" that's why it's ahead of it's time, lol

[TheFlimOfFlam]

@TheChugulator or maybe the 90s are behind its time? ever thought about that.

[WangXiaojun1974]

@TheChugulator Too good for the hideous 90's.

[TheKimberBenton]

@WangXiaojun1974 Agreed!

[reaperofgenocide]

@TheChugulator Not at all. The song sounds like it was made way before the 90s. Yeah its a great song, i like it alot... but no way does this sound like it could have been released in the 90s.

[Dutchy1965]

@TheChugulator it is mate...ahead of its time....in fact its ....'timeless' !

[2bigben7]

@TheChugulator Seal made a remake of this song in the 90's ;)

[Genners111]

@TheChugulator I've always thought that, but you put it into words!! I never had a clue that the song was even that old... 

[therealraybaby]

There is a solution!

[hotlanta71]

such good organ playing

[fmaykall]

que buen video gracias por colgar esto en la web

[Joebird2010]

nice job

[chrismwpcs]

Brilliant. Steve Miller owns...

[Termite30]

You'll have to excuse my youthful naivety, but what are the "4:20" comments about?

[garbeaj]

@Termite30 420 is pot.

[Termite30]

@garbeaj Thx

[Termite30]

The drummer rocks on this song. Lol

[np785]

so who here has gotten high to this song?

[9thoth]

I was three yrs old its classic my dad used to play this band all the time ,and remebred it.

[14luisalonso]

this song has years ahead to grow even more. you'll see

[editfreek]

This song was originally much more edgy and lyrically provocative. ORiGINAL LYRICS: 1st Verse What about the children, ya'll? With no shoes on their feet! What about the people? Living in the street! What about the babies? who don't have enough to eat! WHAT ABOUT A REVOLUTION?! YEAH! Chorus: I want to fly like an eagle.......... 2nd Verse Time keeps on slipping, slipping away Time keeps on drifting, day by day Time keeps on taking, TAKING ME AWAY oh no, FROM THE REVOLUTION!

[TheGreatMando64]

Space Jam anyone?

[triplem456]

@TheGreatMando64 Great Movie. I never realized how cheesy it was. Still funny though.

[TheGreatMando64]

@triplem456 its a really great childhood favorite to me though

[triplem456]

@TheGreatMando64 Same here.

[snoopdog44144]

they still play this classic on commercial

[bmah2657]

I remember having a tube fisher amp, Marantz turntable and big Pioneer speakers back when this album anf Pink Floyds Stereo was so cool and these songs made way for a better recording and format for the future of music ( rock)

[underted]

Wicked, Steve Miller is one of my all time favourite vocalists..this song is just coooooooooooooollllllll.

[babagunoosh]

fake

[poodle720]

Passing the "Peace Pipe" + Steve Miller tunes= A high flying time

[awest091]

@poodle720

man you just dont know. i heard this song on the radio the other day already pretty baked and it put me in another universe. steve miller is great.

DAMN I WISH I LIVED IN THE 70's

[underted]

@awest091 Yeah, I know exactly what you mean..this song is uber trippy.

[MsBluheart]

@awest091 Sorry you missed it. It was GREAT!

[kotep777]

man thanks for this....seriously

this why the internet is great,,,,right here

[Melcore10]

best part of this song 0:00 - 4:20, especially 420 :)

[kenytco68]

@Melcore10 tee hee!

[joerganhalt]

Wow, many thanks to retroj25 for posting this awesome music video.

[mellontronme]

* favorite Hammond B3 Track EVER *

[jhsbaseball09]

this song is 4:20 long. gotta love it.

[ElRamos]

The spacy Moog sounds and churchy organ licks really make this track. Nice funky drumming, too.

[riotgrrrl9]

They've been playing their music for 40 years????!!!! Dear god..talk about Flying like an Eagle.....They hit the tops of the charts and SOARED for the rest of their lives. Thats pretty impressive. ; )

[Tommah1986]

THIS  IS AWESOME!!!

[hicknan219]

This is 1976?!. Oh damn, has time gone by! Love it as much now as I did then!

[fixmeimbroke85]

[riotgrrrl9]

@fixmeimbroke85 hahaha...i know what that means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

[fixmeimbroke85]

@riotgrrrl9 im glad someone got it lol...

[skorcha]

love seeing the OLD primitive videos: still shots w/ moivng backgrounds is just groovy lol

[peterboyd61]

I thought Jimmy Page might have lent Steve his twin neck Gibson, but his was a red one!!!

[bimbo9]

Allready cool then!!!

[KekiEscobar305]

Haha cool the whole song is about tripping out on the beach...

[alanbmx321]

my first album, and I had just got a real reciever, turntable and speakers!!! Jr High

[Schon2112]

Such a Soothing Voice.

[69in89]

Can't believe they played this at my high school graduation 4 weeks ago.

[jedziar]

@69in89 they played this at your graduation?

LOL!!!!!!!! jajaj

[crazze6163]

Video wasa shown on one of late night music shows at the time. I can't remember which one "DK's Rock Concerts or The Midnight Special. But I saw it on one of them. Maybe someone can help me
