Don't step on the grass sam by steppenwolf

[MrSnapy1]

Ty for posting this cant believe its the only one awesome jam and one of their best!

[BeenSovereign]

I was looking for the meaning of this song. I got hooked on the Gov't Mule version and just now figured out it was by Steppenwolf. Pretty badass. Thanks for the upload!

@javezz1 I'm right there with you. WE THE PEOPLE created the government, thus We have dominion over it.

[sirronald69]

* * * * *

[javezzz1]

All of You who post love for this song should GET OUT AND CHANGE THE LAWS ! The People are still in charge , Don't forget ! Rise Up !

[Zeke1950]

@javezzz1 We already did in Oregon.It's called Medical Marajuana and reguardless of what the feds say,our state has condoned it's use for pain.Instead of the drugs they try to push on you.I've been a card holder for 2 years.Smoked for 40 before that.Always knew it was great for all kinds of pains that ail ya.

[javezzz1]

@Zeke1950 Ya I was in Humboldt for 10 years and loved the west coast freedom . Good for You ,enjoy !

[Zeke1950]

Here's a crazy idea for ya.Instead of having wars,we have smokeouts.They bring their best,we bring ours.Last one standing wins.Loser pays for all the munchies.

[ShereKhan77]

this and sookie sookie all day.they are great but the two i mentioned we thee best.i agree with hoags13 hands down.

[kmchristian35]

Yeah, but let's have a moment of silence and remembrance for all the families who have lost young children to marijuana overdoses! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

[Zeke1950]

@kmchristian35 Okay.Hey wait.There aren't any.Dag nab it.I guess I'll just have to keep on trying to be the first one.I've been smokin it for 42 years now.According to the government, I should have been dead a long time ago.Sorry to disappoint them.Guess I'll just keep on trying.

[BeenSovereign]

@kmchristian35 Or a moment of silence for all those made into government slaves under corrupt "drug" STATUTES and CODES.

[divisorplot]

[MrZachEB]

This is by far one of the best songs ever written against the Prohibition of Marijuana. Thank you to Steppen wolf and thank you for posting this vid! Some of us were Born To Be Wild and some will never understand .........

[daniel7322100]

There straight now and will not preform this tune. Believe me. My cousin, Ronnie Hurst is the current drummer.

[Zeke1950]

@daniel7322100 To bad.It's always been one of my favorite songs.Oh well,some people will always remember them from the old days.We were there when this song first came out.Thanks for the info.

[BigJoeWR17]

4 people are fuckin WHACK!!!!

[dparks1121]

Steppenwolf is too good for the R&R Hall of Fame!

[LEWFROST2]

STEPPENWOLF is not in the rock n roll hall of fame=WTF?

[MrWeedmaster777]

i loveeeeeeeeeee this song

thankyou

[MrWeedmaster777]

i loveeeeeeeeeee this song



[punnupur]

One of the first songs to turn me on to rock & Roll circa; 1969,,,,Stay Outa Trees and Don't Eat any Dirt ; longHair Creed,,,Farewell

[kindnug1]

one of the best to jam

[TheDudesFan]

4 people stepped on the Grass!!!!

[zeuschild1]

I love this song!!! Thanks for posting it!!!

[PJakaJizzle]

world needs to relax and stop being so pushy and allow everyone to get along and love!

[littlepelto]

4 people work for our government

[stupidteaset]

shiiiiit son reffered me to this site ! yeah, nothing like this song. Hey, steppenwolf can't be beat...... and steppenwolf the book, by herman hesse can't really be BEAT either. everyone check it out. my son grew up with this music, and so will my grandson. some things are timeless !!!!

[VP40naha]

Ah, those were the days....this reality is a downer.

[arthurmarshall]

[ewd25]

Another great stab at the Gov. and the propagada it spit's out at us every day on every subject.......will be nice when the day comes that they dont try to control every aspect of life...but i'll never see it....great song man.......dont step on the grass sam!!!!! I love every song they di live on John...live on.

[Squidly78]

Evil, wicked, mean and nasty!

[egbertplug]

No need to get angry about it. Save "angry" for people who urinate on you. A song omitted on YouTube is nothing to get angry about...chill out there little guy.

[sassypink630]

I love this song... I actually like Warren Haynes singing it better though!

[speedPOLKAisBRUTAL]

i wish i had weed right now

[taylorwarrior2000]

@speedPOLKAisBRUTAL amen

[teh11999]

Hey Catchy tune i've always liked this thanks for posting !!!!

[ahitler1000]

sounds  like my backyard in greater Roswell New Mexico where the season last 10 months outside,

[otherlyn]

Thanks for being the one to post this. This is the EXACT SW tune that I have been searching for. My favorite, from the best times of our lives. Nothing beats the sound of that growling B! ^-,^

[otherlyn]

Thanks for being the one to post this. This is the EXACT SW tune that I have been searching for. My favorite, from the best times of our lives. ^-,^

[watchdogsp]

I was trying to show this song to a friend and they were like "I hate Rock n' Roll", What a freakin' retard. If its not some rap crap this generation thinks they are too cool for it. The matter of the fact is that it is too cool for them!

[KaptKan1]

Prop 19 was defeated; what a victory for stupidity and police statism.

[kricky71]

Fantastic!

[TheZaupa]

Yeah Sam...

[Patriot1862]

Truly a classic....

[chucknchar]

Far out, haven't heard this tune since I was a GI in Germany in the early 70's. We still dealing with Sam

[robynskywalker]

Heard this song when I was driving through Texas with my little niece, I'm 16 and she's 4, we both dug it :D

[dafkrew420]

@robynskywalker shut up its nap time for you.... I SAID GOOD DAY!

[lilwaynesrocksucks]

best steppenwolf song and probably my fav smokin tune to cruise to haha

[wag9669]

I don't smoke anymore (or less) but this song rocks.

[55slice]

Great tune....one of the most under rated bands for their rock contributions.

[mlbinseattle]

Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty.... And it will ruin off their country. I will hook their Sue and Johnny. All will pay to disagree with me.

I forgot all about this song. Wish I could find more songs from '69 - '71 by Steppenwolf. I think I was 13 the first time I heard this. Fell in love with it, immediately. (Oh oh...it's the end of the song. BUSTED! lol)

[gam3rgodproductionz]

my favorite song

[justin41823]

great!!!!!

[Fruth37]

All will pay who disagree with me!

[lorrie2917]

only 35347 views???!!! great song!!! thank you for posting!

[Clev420]

Zeke you got the idea!!!! i wold love to represent my country!!!

[savvasithaka]

i love this song, but dont be angry, its all better now

[Walkwithstrings]

Does anyone have the mp3 of this song that they would be willin to email to me?

[CTOL1]

@Walkwithstrings

[CTOL1]

@CTOL1 opps, just download this video?

[benloe1]

This Is The Best!!

[Total1337]

Eargasm.

[KingDrummaDude]

^5ERS to everyone who still loves this song. I saw them twice back in the day and still get them chills up my spine when I crank this one up on 10.

[Nguli34689]

I always thought that the sound of the toilet being flushed at the end was very funny.

[kfargidon]

@Nguli34689 you're right, the sound of the toilet flushing IS very funny. however, back in 1968, 69 70, there were ominous undertones and overtones to that flushing sound. things were quite evil then. things are VERY evil now. at least, that's the way i see it.

[kirk92270]

thank you for uploading this HELL YEA!!!

[jkat2000]

marijuana is bad for you

[shakkimu]

@jkat2000 LMFAO, you're kidding right? ;D

[jkat2000]

@shakkimu glad 2cu have a sense of humor..really couldn't care less about pot...the melodrama of this this song makes me LMFAO though...still i'm a fan of the 'wolf

[alijacar]

and by people i mean the american government of course no one hates potheads more than they do just look at what they did to tommy chong for influencing so many brainless stoners but obama is pretty kewl i liked robin hood spread the wealth fuck the arrogant narcisistic smug rich people not the nice down to earth rich people though i like them

[wildabeast11235]

you think obama is in any way like robin hood? you have got to be fucking me.... first, you are looking at this on a computer, you are rich, so yeah fuck the rich... second you know its still illegal to smoke pot right? 1 and half years under obama, or bush's 3rd term as i like to say because all those so called "presidents" are interchangeable all the way back to Washington himself

[alijacar]

smoking grass should be legal its the stuff that makes stereotypical stupid stoners should be illegal like getting high and doing nothing all day or watching tv after a smoke ses. or stupid video games maybe if more people got high and studied or read people would not hate us stoners so much

[OrangeCountyMotorWor]

time to play this to the house in d,c'' it's time my man!!!  peace on for ever

[alijacar]

i get high to this song like every week

[HunterHusky]

"The Ostrich" is just as timeless and just as truthful. Steppenwolf has always been one of my fave groups.^^ I still pay their music on the tapedeck in my car^^

[robeh05]

@HunterHusky fuck yea man

[andyboy148]

Great Song and has lots of meaning

[TheTTBT]

Ross Rebagliati

[sparkie6201]

Who ever posted this song, thanks much, saved me from digging out the cd. The live version is good also. This is my fav band

[daytriper6996]

This song is a jam! Its a shame not 2 many people know about this song. Most people just hear the songs that theyplay on the radio. They have no idea how badass they realy r.

[1989Foxy50]

I'm 23 years old... i can remember this song from when I was about 11. I remember riding with Dad in his 1970 Mach 1 Mustang listening to this. I still listen music like this....I love it

[unclelight13]

Ahead of it's time like a lot of Steppenwolf!

[jimbozjulz]

"dont step on the constitution sam"

[lawrenze13]

"faced by a very akward situation this is all he'd say to save the day: well it's evil,wicked...' this song couldve been written last year cause sam hasnt changed a bit

[cooliesass]

Cool tune, thanks for posting!!!

[nocturnal63]

sooo damn excellent!!!

[musictodaysux]

great stuff!! gov mule does a killer version of this song too.

[LordCaseor1]

@musictodaysux ...no...

[Vodnik420]

rofl, 5:28, chick gets jumped by cops in the bathroom

[53wick]

We will spend more than 50 billion , (yes billion) dollars this year alone in the war on drugs, and you tell me ... What drugs have been eradicated?

[toolhidden]

Right on

[vivalaleta]

First Time I've heard this song. I'm no smoker but even as a child I could never understand why liquor was legal but pot was a terrible sin. LIQUOR is addictive and will kill your kidneys. It's SUCH a retarded situation.

[lessthanzero1955]

It's amazing they can sing so well with their tongues so firmly in their cheeks. Bravo!

[vivalaleta]

@lessthanzero1955

This comment reminds me why I find you such a sexy beast.

Grrrrowl....

[jasonytfpothead]

a VICIOUS attack on the finest of grass

[Chillernamedfufu]

smokin to this songs the best

[joethepublic]

Cannabis Indica La Friendica!

[Zeke1950]

Here's a radical idea for you.How about instead of having wars to settle conflicts,we have smoke outs.They bring their best,we bring our best.Last country standing wins,loser pays for the munchies.

[TheJakal420]

Yeah no joke, just smoke til you get over your problems. Thats what I do.

[dejavuman22]

HAHA! That's the best idea I ever heard! Could you imagine some of those old politicians getting stoned out of their minds? THAT would be worth posting on Youtube! :)

[PaneGHE]

that would open their fuckin minds and maybe allow them to look to the future and really change something,,,

[shakkimu]

@Zeke1950

I would vote you for pres!

[Zeke1950]

@shakkimu Thank you my friend.I'll run on the Green ticket.

[Irrlicht192]

@Zeke1950

You are my personal hero. Why dont go ahead and suggest this way of solve conflicts Kim Jong-il. He would agree to you :D

[TheTTBT]

@Zeke1950 If by "best" you mean the tight-jeans crowd, I am a size 10 in size 5 tights. Hang on Zeke, I'm going for nacho cheese.

[2unit]

@Zeke1950 lol yea and bring your pipe

[robynskywalker]

@Zeke1950 That would totally be the perfect world.

[ahitler1000]

@Zeke1950 yeh , . . . yeh , . . .

[SgtPepper96034]

@Zeke1950

Sami s so full of Bullshit. And I don't even smoke anymore.

What you said is right on those involved in conflict should toke about it like Telsa sang about.

Steppenwolf forvever.

Peace, pot and microdot!

[Zeke1950]

When I was a young lad,I had 2 nicknames.One was Smokey,the other was Weedone.That was back in the 50's.All these years later,they are still both true.420 forever.If the government ever realized just how much money they could make by legalizing it and taxing it,we would'nt be this far in the hole.Oh well,I guess you don't have to have brains to be a politician.You just have to be able to lie well.What ever happened to A Government of The People,by The People,and For The People?

[rusticwiles0]

Lol, i mean just how dangerious is it? Compared to someone who has had way too much alcohol or worse, really how many cops are "oh no mary jane'd up person!" "need back up!" I mean it's said that it makes you lethargic, isn't that better than violent? Not to mention you could compair it to the prohibition days of alcohol. After 40+ years of a fight on it can't we take the power away from it as a gateway drug, i mean isn't that alone a condescension since you could do the same with alcohol?

[iorioriorio]

ah f*(k better off illegal!...more fun that way

[badjaycl]

I would sell my soul to have a voice like John Kay.

[Drum2TheClassics]

Amen

[tmlcj5]

I have been looking for this song for so many years. Thank you very much for the opertunity to here it again.

[phishernj420]

this was a protest tune about uncle SAM and how the government is terrible

[BlackEyelinedLuv]

Weed isn't evil, wicked, mean or nasty. Its beautiful, friendly, natural, and tasty ;-D

[jjwesley2525]

this band was so much more than 'born to be wild' great as that was. very under-rated

[deathbox101f]

awsome. thanks for the post man.

[OpandDeb]

Smoke' em if ya got' em! AMEN!!!!!!

[TessaTEDDYBEAR]

I support the legalization of marijuana and i will do whatever i have to do to share the love (and knowledge) with others :)

[StevenLeeTrash]

Best song ever!!!

[TheWtc7]

[gotalittlecaptain]

[DragonClaws6]

[BlackEyelinedLuv]

Right On.

[killW1266]

This is one of my favorites too. "It will hook your Sue and Johnny" .... ha ha ... it did in my neighborhood growing up !

Great tune ... hilarious !!

[SnowDogRedSectorEh]

I have this on vinyl and it skips in 2 places since about 76 or 77 and I keep expecting to hear it that way here and it's pretty cool to hear it again with no skips but then again I DID kinda get used to it with the skips but ahhh ... what was I saying????

oh ya, Sam's a jerk!

[m55cell39heli41]

grande banda de rock. fez historia.. lugar garantido.. qualidade..

[Ikapitanzurseei]

Goddamn, Reefers.

Cut your fuckin' hair.

[DragonClaws6]

BEEP BOOP BOP

[deelodon]

I just smoked weed and listened to this song

PanWitSyr, it was a great experience.

[borntrippin]

Steppenwolf one of my early favorites!!!

[PanWitSyr]

If I smoked weed, I'd do it ot this song.

[PurplePanda1233]

SMOKE WEED!

[PanWitSyr]

Why?

[PurplePanda1233]

its good for your soul.

[PanWitSyr]

Ehhh, I'd rather abide by my friend, the Law. :)

[PurplePanda1233]

Go to Denmark or Canada or Amsterdam.

[trentroolz]

pussy.

[MANCATDRZ]

Peace......DR.Z

[BENNY563101]

The course of history for Los Angeles would have and could have been very interesting if one occurrence would have happen. And what is that, you may ask, if John Kay would have taken off his shades, he could have been voted in as Los Angeles' Mayor. John, you should have taken off the shades, haha

[zbestwun2001]

Praise the Lord and pass the BONG!

[boilermakerstud]

Amen brother!!!

[DragonClaws6]

what was the recording at the end..O.o

it sounded like a fight :D

[zbestwun2001]

Police busting them at the recording session.

Made headlines.

[lester289]

Sam came in and stopped all the fun..

[fuckmytime]

My favorite band!!!!!, Canadian eh

[baron7309100]

the guitar lead at 2:51 is the best

[baron7309100]

fuck i hit the wrong thumb missgriffin77 this is a great post indeed

[baron7309100]

sam say's i was elected by the masses but, the masses are sayin legalize it sam

[jacko821]

The guitar on this kicks some ass. Why can't there be licks like those these days? It makes me sad..

[fuzzfreak1967]

because people in pop music today dont really know how to play the guitar,they dont need to though neither. (personal thought)

[charlesmiddleton]

420-legalize it

[lilyisakoolkat]

i cant even like hear the song..

[hoags13]

turn it up...

[CTOL1]

@hoags13 Far out

FM radio was coming out, so many "heavy" tunes

I was busy trying to grow up, had no idea I'd make it this far....

Unemployed and grew OLD thanks for the upload, sure beats the alternative

[jntruant]
