  • Hey - free that camel :(

    :)

  • Great song, silly, shoulder-padded video. :~)

  • a stupid video !, .... but an excellent copy of the Cat Stevens song. Also copied 1967 by the The Tremeloes. Listen and watch their superb live version of this song.

  • Sung in Italian (Eccola di nuovo) by The Rokes, British band popular in Italy in the 60's....

  • How could anyone not like this....!

  • at about 00:11 seconds, you can see a yellow car at the right. What car is that?

  • 23 people love cat stevens , this is the first time i see the dislikes as likes.

  • Re the dance line up,i posted this last year, 'One of the blond girls I believe is Michele Johnston,(on right behind drummer)..she is a dancer, and dance choreographer,LA based she does dance routines for movies and has appeared in a few herself,top dancer in her own right,check her out on Wiki,

    but dont confuse her for an actress of same name, also profile on IMBD...no idea who the others are,LA session dancers I guess,video shot at the Pink Motel,San Fernando Valley 1999', hope that helps!

  • PLEASE can ANYONE tell me who these delectable, tantalyzing, luscious, super fine ladies in blue frills are? Group name, individual names, whatever?!? I have watched this video to see them perform so much my eyeballs are bloodshot. I want to propose marriage. Seriously, they are hot. Even if it was filmed 12 years ago. They are absolutely fun. Anyone?

    Yes, Raul Malo has a great voice! LOL

  • Cant wait to see them, they are touring europe next year

  • brilliant, 11 years on and still as good

  • the brass instruments really make the songs special! love it.

  • i hear today that the mavericks might be getting back together...I hope so

  • High Def entertainment. Their cover of this 60s iconic song is so right for today.

  • SUPER COOL!

  • I love the music/singer/band and the fun attitude they portray in the videos.

  • In Ireland top DJ Ronan Collins said the Mavericks are one of the best Bands he ever saw live, what a sound

  • The video looks like so much fun. Raul has a fantastic voice and the Mavericks are top-knotch musicians.

  • the tremeloes were great as well

  • This is the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. I love it.

  • Talk about an example of taking a bitter pill with a spoon full of sugar.. This is more like a fricken tanker full of super mega ultra sugar..

    God I love the Mavericks..

  • I'm a die-hard Cat Stevens fan but, man, this version kicks ass!!!

  • Holy Shit! What's not to like. Babes, cars, Great sounds, lots of color and a Camel!

    Search above title on Youtube

  • Awsome band covering one of the great songwriters.

  • ... I like the Sons of Admiral version better 0.0

  • Camels, Cars, & Clowns; 

  • Good cover.  Sexy chicks and great street rods, but Cat Stevens is still boss!

  • @zfleming44 and a camel!!!

  • Great version-love it!

  • I don't get it. A completely average cover of a good song. What's the point?

    The dancers are fun to watch but the rest of the video sucks. I get what they're going for but the Fabulous Thunderbirds weren't that good a band to begin with.

  • 19 dumb fucks on the planet!

  • Love the Mav or hate 'em (I love 'em) whoever put together their videos was a genius.

  • I like the ladies on this video there hot

  • Just like Cat Stevens, only with more cowbell.

    Seriously, my favorite version of this song.

  • My GOD, is there any song that Raul Malo can't sing and WELL!!!!? :-) The guy is unreal!! This is OUTSTANDING!

  • VEVO SUCKS!

  • Fuck off with your GODDAMNED FUCKING COMMERCIALS you tube limp dick suckers

  • @ultrabrougham Yeah this version sucks ass.

  • Love Love This Song & Video!

  • is it so impossible for someone t to like this version , the orignal by cat stevens AND the sons of admirals? i do! :)

  • hmmmmm cat stevens,

  • @FuriousFang Do you mean DEE-Wight Yoakem?? :)

  • @joelunchbox1  White Scrotum?

  • The Tremeloes: Best Version. This is elevator music.

  • Sure, Sons of Admirals did a great job with this song, but did they have a camel? I DON'T THINK SO!!! Your British accents and interestingly dyed hair only get you so far!

  • Love It!

  • Oooh I like this!

  • @anonamisme never thought of it, but there ARE similarities

  • Love the Maverick's! So them in Chicago up close and personal! Put on one of the best live show's ever!

  • Does anyone have a better voice than Raul Malo? This is a great song no matter who sings it.

  • ok so sons of admirals version sucks, but this one does too, check yo la tengo!

  • VERY good

    

  • VERY good

  • This is easily the best version. Sons of Admirals suck

  • wonder if any1 ever gave birth to this song?

  • i love this song.

  • This is the best version of the song, have loved it ever since my mum used to play it in the car when I was younger. Brings back nostalgia, I did like the Sons Of Admirals version, but in my honest opinion, it has nothing on this version.

    One bad thing though, the video is pure cheese. LAME.

  • @Pazza2K9 The video is one of my favorite aspects of this version. I'd marry the brunette tomorrow! And the stuff going on in the background at the tables in the diner is hilarious.

  • that was fun

  • good verygood

  • Tremeloes 1, Mavericks 2, Cat Stevens 3 ......all excellent cuts, from Cat's Creations.

    Regards,

    IAN in Adelaide

  • 1:32 The middle waitress looks like Emma Watson!!

  • by far the best version Raul malo is one of the best singers around

  • coollike is better.

  • see i like the All Caps version. adn i love the way that if u get every version of this song from the begining in order you can see the evolutuion of popular music through one song. sooooooooooooo coooooooooooooooollllll

  • I love how everyone is mentioning Sons Of Admirals and Charlie McDonnell.

    I am too, just more casually.

    And yeah, it isn't as good as the Admirals version, but's it's still pretty awesome (:

  • I like sons of admirals versio0n waaaaay better;; but that's jst my opinion

  • The Pink Motel, Cherokee, NC. I thought I had seen it before. Nice Video.

  • Nope, sorry its the Pink Motel (next to Cadillac Jacks, the diner) in Sun Valley California. Its used in a lot of videos and films. Look at Mandy Moore - Candy.

  • sons of admirals version is better.

    (charlieissocoollike)

  • I like the Tremeloes version of this song too, but I still think this is the best version.

  • The more i listen to this version the more i like it. I love the video nice touch guys any video that has hot rods and hot chicks is awesome.

  • the lead singer here looks like Raul Malo. Kinda sounds like him too. Nice cover guys and a great video.

  • @LesSmith45 Kinda looks and sounds like Raul Malo because it is! :)

  • only the faggots who jerk off to warped tour videos would ever like the sons of admirals version.

  • sons of admirals did a better version

  • Why the hell can't the Mavericks have a proper love song? It's fine if you're single, but my wife and I can't dance to, or sing to each other these songs, doesn't matter how awesome they sound, because it's all about love lost, and never found. What about love that is found and married and everlasting? There's alot of happy couples whose marketplace is grossly underdeveloped by this awesome band.

  • I think it is interesting that Cat Stevens/Yusaf's first version started out as kind or melancholy, then the Tremeloes's version went opposite and became a party song. The Mavericks one-upped the Tremeloes by ...well, you are watching the video aren't you? Camels , clowns, Go-Go dancers, did they miss anything in this 3 minute tour de force? And now the Sons of Admirals--right back to Cat's style--much more melancholy and dark. Can't wait to see who does what with this song!

  • This version is waaaaay better. Sons of Admirals vesion sucks. Only people under the age of twelve could prefer it.

  • Just one question, Why?

  • This one is on par with the Tremeloes. And this coming from me who's ere is the sixties and seventies.

    But the Cat Stevans one just hasn't got the pizaz. Its too flowery powery.

  • What happened to The Mavericks?? This is good stuff! Timeless sound, great orchestration, very nice editing, lots of color, did I say GIRLS? Good work!!

  • @joepilot48 they broke up in ealry part of 2000. I was lucky enough to see one of their last concerts. But i think the lead singer Raul Malo still sings with the rest of the Mavricks. They really had the very best live concerts.

  • I love how all of these covers are from great bands and different times in history.

  • cat stevens still does a better orginal.

  • This has been the greatest music video I have ever seen! Across the board on multiple levels...the flappers...the obvious simulation of flappers with brass and wind instruments...the mexican cook...I mean everything about this was cool. Production...brilliant!

  • good song and great video, nice leggy girls on there.

    i wish

  • Just listened to the Tremeloes version and it has a lot more oomph than this Mavericks one, really, pleasant though it is.

  • It's the Tremeloes version that was popular, though, rather than the Cat Stevens original. It's perhaps the best dancing song ever - I used to just shake everything to it. (There may well be newer better dancing songs now, sadly my knowledge of music stopped about 1972!)

  • One of the blond girls I believe is Michele Johnston,(on right behind drummer)..she is a dancer, and dance choreographer...L.A. based she does dance routines for movies now and has appeared in a few herself...top dancer in her own right...check her out on Wiki..but dont confuse her for an actress of the same name, also profile on IMBD...no idea who the others are.....LA session dancers I guess..video was shot at the Pink Motel in the San Fernando Valley 1999/2000

  • Now I know why people went to go-go clubs. Awesome dancing!! Love this video/song--everybody is having a good time.

  • Sons of Admirals > The Mavericks (sorry it's true)

  • Can anyone give me any information about the dancers?

  • I have spent too long trying to find out anything about the dance troupe, to no avail can anyone shed any light on the subject?

  • Composed by Cat Stevens...

  • Fantastic song ( Original by the Tremeloes ) fantastic group, fantastic video, and ohh the girls, fantastic.

  • @cliffgil Actually Cat Stevens

  • Original by Cat Stevens...

  • Sons of Admirals!

  • Just let me say BRILLIANT WORK!!!!

  • Fascinating rhythm!

  • whose is that black haired dancer in the front? I think I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • to be honest, this is my favourite version of this song. I do like Charlieissocoollike and that lot, but I've liked The Mavericks longer.

  • i miss the last verse tho

  • like cat but the mavericks own this song ..............of course it might be that brunette. love to know if she is in any movies or music videos

  • YES

  • Kudos to The Mavericks, a fine band for their cool cover of this old Cat Stevens song. I hate to admit however, that I prefer both the original version by Stevens as well as the defining cover of all time, the one done back in 1967 by the immortal TREMELOES.

    This is one of those mysteriously intoxicating songs that has always had a major emotional impact on me when I hear it. So fine!!!

  • I have always loved this song, I thought this version was great, and the video is a gas!! The brunette on the left is jammin' with authentic 60s moves (I'd marry her tomorrow, whoever she is)... and the 2 gay guys feeding each other pie and sharing a milkshake are hysterical.

  • Raul's energy and joy are infectious. I love the bit of steel guitars and Mexican brass added into the arrangement. It gives a little bit of a rockabilly sound.

  • The Tremeloes AND Cat Stevens ftw

    SOA and The Mavericks are pretty decent, but I could listen to the original for hours...

  • I think the one of: sons of admirals is better :D,

    charlieissocoollike :D:D

  • Sorry. as much as I like The Mavericks..This not even close to the Tremeloes version.

  • i love charlie is so cool like but this is my faveourite song and i have heard these version before they sang it and not to be harsh but i hated charlies version

  • Raul Malo is the best!

  • Comment removed

  • Love it!

    All you need now is Kentucky Fried Chicken

  • Have listened to all three versions, this one comes first mainly because i'm not so keen on cat stevens voice in that song, i love the people in sons of admirals but the song does'nt really cut it as some of them can't sing to well (Alex and Charlie can) so yeah, awesome song, make me wanna dance around and stuff ^_^

  • @LucifersAngelFell Raul Malo has the voice of an angel.

  • @babygore0599 Yeah, he does ^_^

  • CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE NAMES OF THE GIRLS IN THE DANCE TROUPE?

  • One of the blond girls is michelle Johnston,...film dance choreographer

  • absolutely fantastic,any fans should check out the big o and friends,i saw them they are a cover band,they are australian,and they are fantastic,nearly as good as these guys,not quite tho ;)

  • personally i like sons of admiral's version better, but thats just me :3

  • Nice song.

  • soa

    

  • sons of who ??? listened to their version for 4 seconds LOL !!!  You need to get out more !

  • sons of no talents !!! LOL

  • There is something about the singer I just cant stand lol. Corny video. Sorry!

  • Awesome covers!!!

    I love it :D

  • I am so lucky to say that I got to take part in a writing session with Robert Reynolds from The MNavricks, while in Nashville, how cool is it to see him in this video.

  • I love The Mavericks and the song. Jesus, I can't stop laughing at this video though. lol

  • I can't believe they crop off the top.

  • Raul Malo + Cat Stevens = excellent!!!  :-)

  • super-mooi...!!!!

  • Shot at the Pink Motel Theme Park,...San Fernando Valley CA

  • Hard to believe this tune was written by Cat Stevens. :D

    Great version of it as great as The Tremeloes.

  • The Tremeloes version of this is good as well!!!!

  • Not only does this video sound

    great, but it also looks great

    with its dramatic use of color.

  • i think the original is better :)

  • Awesome song!

  • Very nice ! This is one of my favorite songs !
