this is a great song man I started out watching LOCO MAMMA (who happens to be funny as hell by the way) and then found this video dude you're talented, you should go to hollywood and make a movie staring loco mamma just an idea lol
"He's gonna give her the furniture, and she's gonna give him the car!" Wow, the melody/vocals on that part always give me goosebumps... good goosebumps!
Aww Zipster there's just something so charming about you, and it's obvious you've always had it all your life. You're such an awesome, talented performer and a true chameleon. I've always enjoyed your vids. I was born 9 years after this performance but I think it's KICKASS. Thank you for sharing with us a glimpse of your past ;)
Hey Zip, I was wondering the second line in the chorus is. I have listened to all 3 versions of this awesome song a million times & I still can't make it out.
Astoundingly wonderful song and delivery. I must tell you though... i think you bring even more to the stage now that you are an older gentleman ;) Are you touring any time soon? If so please come to Boston. I'd love to see you live.
Now I'm totally wondering if i mighta seen you on Don Kershner's rock concert when I was ten or something lol. Remeber that late night show? first time i saw Lou Reed was on that show. He did "They're Taking Her Children Away" and i nearly had a heart attack :))). Well, anyway Thanks so much Zipster. I think you're dreamy.
you must have had some great times back then zipster,i know from watching your videos you met a lot of famous people and it looks like you are having a blast, you are still rocking today with the bands, i enjoy your channel mate thanks for sharing,peace and love (chopper)
Hey, Zip. I was born in '79 so I always love to see clips of music & pop culture in general from that year. If you ever got a break, this sucker would shoot straight to #1 faster than you could say Casey Kasem, I'll tell you that!
Hi Again, Love. Can't stay away from this vid :) I went to high school during the early 70's, and your music (and performance) sure take me back. I love your most recent videos, but is there anymore from the earlier era?
Zipster, I've been a fan of the You Tube persona for ages, but it took this Dumb Blonde Ages to tumble to the fact that you are a performer, and a steller one at that! You're SOooo awsome.Scouring ur archives ...
You know Zipster you sound as good and in many ways better today than when this was done originally. BUT I LOVE BOTH versions and can't wait for the reunion DVD to arrive in the mail. Fun to watch the original though too. Man you rock my world brother. LYZ
This sounds a lot like BJ circa "Glass Houses". Billy always called "Glass Houses" his "rock & roll" album & this song kind of reminds me of, say, "Sometimes A Fantasy" or "Sleeping With The Television On.
OK, I admit it. I have watched this like 14 times in a row. I am 52, sitting at my desk with work to do. I am motivated. And I am putting it to good use. I am watching intently! Zipster is such a joy to watch. It just struck me that the time I spent going to places so far and wide back then was not a waste of time. It was a real investment. I am reaping the rewards of great memories. Thanks, Zipster. Luv ya!
Also, Im curious. Do you ever like get embarased when you watch your self? (not saying your embarasing XD) o.o I cant even watch home movies that were taken when I was like 4 ~_~
Zipster, I can't say enough about these older vids you've been posting. It's so cool to see you at that age. You're such a star. Thanks for sharing these with us.
Zipster. You are genuinely an amazing, vibrant person. I wish more people would live with the nonchalant zest that you do. (And could also sing like that, damn!) There's no doubt that I'd have your albums on repeat.
This is really cool- it annoys me when some 'haters' post messages saying stuff like ' zipster -you need to go outside and get a life' ITS CLEAR that YOU DO have a life!.
I'd like to see film of the current act as well. I checked out the link and I'm loving the new sound very much. I may have to get that Christmas CD! :D
Love it!! I went to one of your links and ordered a couple of your Zen Primates CD's.Very quirky...I love quirky.And the old stuff is so cool. We want more!!!
