David Essex - Rock On

[josette4231]

I love this song. You should hear the bass in my beautiful 1500 ram truck!I can vibrate the whole street! I love how he says James Dean. It was recently his death anniversary on Sept 30th.

[theoster]

@theoster I was JUST thinking the same thing...... THIS DUDE WAS FUCKING TITS...

I loved slow dancing at the high school dances and rocking to this when it came out:)

[sea6789]

I could imagine smoking pot to this song.

[kiriaki59]

I was sooooooooooo in love with David Essex back in the 70's. My idol! Such a cool song from such a cute guy. Great memories!

[ANDEEDEE1]

He was gay

[music4healings]

David is a musical poetry genious

[8010cookie]

THIS SONG IS BOSS! HOLY SHIT

[petrietri]

@MrRherron When did this play in the Devils Rejects? I don't remember this song being in it

[jimmypage444]

i believe this was the first song i ever liked...i was a young pup back in '73 though. This song is still cool even now. whatever happened to David Essex? it's like he disappeared off the globe...guess i'm off to wiki to find out...peace

[VelvetUndergoundfu1]

@jimmypage444 Isn't that true? He made this fantastic album and you never heard much of anything about him. Maybe you can find something on Wikopedia, I'm going to look.

[hankjc]

@jimmypage444 This was the first song I ever liked, too. It was also the first album I ever got my parents to buy for me. I liked it so much. When he came to the U.S. to go on tour, I was too young to go but I caught him on every TV show he was on (things like Supersonic, Wonderama, Sonny and Cher). He was doing a musical some years back in London so I think he's still around.

[dipsaucerose]

wow hes like...sexy

[windychaw]

Sexiest song ever.

[magikoolz]

wow 3 percent hate this!?!?!????that 3 must be retarded

[katrastrophy]

@magikoolz nah just deaf.

[magikoolz]

i feel more gangster listening to this then this rap crap

[sassystephanieo]

Love love this song! Plan to have it at my funeral many years from now of course, lol. This was my favorite stripper song back in the mid- 80's..

[liliana11967]

love this song, sure brings back those day of getting high with Danny (1977-1979)

[OS253]

Very handsome man.

[Brettgod1355]

There are 3 people that are UN-AMERICAN and there are 146 people who are american

[BinkyM]

@Brettgod1355: Uh, how do you figure? He's English. Maybe the thumbs-ups are from our British friends, and the thumbs-down are from our less-than-genius countrymen, like, for example, people who don't know who David Essex is.

[newphx]

He's aged well...irrefutable proof we're all moving towards a greater state of Peter Gabrielness...

[Cash2112]

He almost took out the blond chick with the mic stand.

[ixcreme]

essexy

[aussieangie]

SEXY !!

[retrofever1969]

Luscious David Essex!

[thatlady33]

I tagged along on my sister's senior trip to Disneyland and a friend took footage of us on Main Street and added this song; BJBQs for sure.

[Ginax84]

sexy!! love this song:P

[DonFormica]

Considering it was recorded in 1973. It was IMHO the best produced single up to that time. The production and engineering values of the studio version were way ahead of their time.

Rock-On!

[MeanrBeanr]

70's music....the best decade.....hard and soft rock, pop, soul, rhythm and blues...heck, even some disco tunes are much much better than the caca of Lady Gaca and alike.....disposable idols the kids are poisoned with. Very very few real artists out there.

[dipsaucerose]

@MeanrBeanr i think its the music industry's obsession with re creating the success they had with such great artists. so hey just fling anyone out there with vocal chords,

[alicebryson]

@aleAlEsSaNdRol I don't think so. Too many people out there that are alot better than him. I am not putting him down. This song has been around along time and is used in movies alot.But, I think this song rocks and will be still be around for a long time.

[makliss3]

This music like Gorillaz, nice. :)

[ghoyt18]

smoked alot of green to this song in my day

[djgus84]

Still rockin in todays world

[djgus84]

Still rockin today with this. Song

[BrandonP0888]

Love it

[metalmusic1995]

James Dean

[mcrchickenluvr]

OMG! It's almost like he's treating that mic like sex toy/object. HAHAHA I love it!

[nellypettitt]

I was 14 when this came out and he was gorgeous! Rock on

[kizzenme]

I have always LOVED this song! it's sexy as hell!

[MrMagician54]

Rock on!!! This song rocks much like him!

[hellokitty75482]

Love this song. Thanks for posting it. Also, in my opinion, from the side view, David Essex kinda looks like Sylvester Stylone (Rambo) lol which isnt a bad thing.

[rwagner428]

@hellokitty75482 You're welcome =)

[ellstromp]

@hellokitty75482

Sylvester Stylone??????????? No way!

[MrBuckwilliam]

[greenmean1]

[shortminute]

Damb you Krunky!!!

[BankScamTakeover]

KRUNNKYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! *shakes fist*

[KellyGreen5555]

Dig that monster bass line...one of the greatest rock-n-roll songs.

[drwinkle101]

@KellyGreen5555

You might dig my analysis of this song under "Arrangement" in the Rock On entry in Wikipedia

[trell23Mobile]

@KellyGreen5555 That probably is the nastiest bassline ever. "Jamesss Deannn" Rock on sister

[Juggalo4794]

[dustinmoore08]
