Thanks for uploading. I have the Julian Cope (English singer) cover version of this from 1988: This is the first time that I've heard the original...and I like it.
oh, stop, you little girls. It's 60's music. It's been a long time since then. Don't even try to make it about you. Learn how to spell, learn punctuation. The idiots are....you. Go back to school, get an education, get a job. Read a book, stay home, read to your children. Send them to music classes, theater classes, dance. Martial arts? Really? Sounds more about you. Stereo-type away. You are part of the problem.
I remember this song from the 60s ,and heard it again when on vacation in Coco Beach Fla. in the 80s ,for the first time since i was a child ,and then heard again on the Drew Cary show ,brought back alot of memories..
I listened to “Five O’clock World:” on local radio at Ft. Leonard Wood 374th MP Co. before the daily cannon went off at 5PM. I was later two years in Europe and then 67-68 in RVN. I always thought of the “long haired girl who waits, I know, to ease my troubled mind.” She was not there when I came home. I cannot imagine what my life would have been if that long haired girl had been waiting for me...
I was in RVN in 67-68 Cu Chi my long haired girl didn't wasted any time waiting got my letter two months after I got there. I alway thought of that song, Thank God and Grayhound she gone. Who am I kiding it was a bummer at the time. welcome home
These guys were really manufatured by the record label, told how to dress and stand not to offend anyone!! Assembley line!! This is why the Beatles were a big welcome in 1964!!
@johnnyw12 ...But wait there's more. this was LATE 1965 or early 1966. They were on a tiny label that certainly did not have the budget to "manufacture" a group. As far as "not offending anyone" I had no idea that was a musical element.
Ah, the television variety show...family style entertainment. Call it seeing the past through rose colored glasses, but it seems that there was a time when people watched TV in groups and it was considered a warm experience. Now, everyone has their own personal screen and what little interaction there was has gone the way of black & white TV shows, no?
@arkady714 yes we watched the same program in groups, family groups! Everyone could tell you what time and channel every major show came on t.v. , some were designed for the whole family, some for mom, pop, and the kids. Mom had daytime soaps, dad had the wide world of sports on the weekends and the kids had cartoons on Saturday mornings. The evening slots were for family shows like variety shows, westerns, etc. that's when the fam gathered together after dinner.
@greenpilgrim50 Funny how things change. The anti-TV folk in the '60s complained how no one talked, but just sat in the same room, staring at the "idiot box." Today's generation actually considers it social when a room full of people do just that. In an era where everyone has at least one personal screen (of varying sorts) variety television is sadly outdated. Like all real American families, ours was Ed Sullivan. And, yes, I sat bored, waiting for the last act to come on...the rock act.
@arkady714 It was my parents and three older siblings in our home so I NEVER got to pick what was on and I was the remote control. I had to sit next to the t.v. and change the channels, adjust the rabbit ears & the "roller knob"(or so I called it)! It was my duty as the baby of the family. The big family shows I mainly recall other than Ed Sullivan was Lawrence Welk, The Wonderful World of Disney, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and all the sitcoms that came and went.
@crazyromanian1 in Austria you got the 2 Geman Channels, and the 2 Austrian Channels, and i have to say, this what u can watch today is very better! :D
One of my favorite songs. I love singing and playing this song on my guitar. The Vogues are a great group. I also love "You're the One". That's my other favorite by them... :))
Rock stopped attempting to sing about real life long ago. Country took that over, and it got stupid. Nothing and nobody sings now about normal people.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I love this music....the oldies are great the 60s and 70s were the best...I was lucky to have been born in the 50s so I could have it....don't like todays at all and you can do away will all rap wouldn't hurt my feelings!!!
The wonder is, that unlike an awful lot of groups, these gents performed live and sounded about as good as they did on the record. I guess that made some people turn around and look at them.
real freedom -the idiots hadnt bred to much back then-i bought a gun and ammo at kmart when i was 17 years old carried it down te main street and no one even looked sideways-built a car from scratch and registered it -nobody cared-the idiots hadnt arrived yet-great days
By God you are so right about this. And once the idiots started multiplying, there is no stopping them. My nine-year old was just threatened today at school by a bully two years older than him. After discussing this with the principal, she disagreed with our direction to our son: if he tries to hurt you, you hurt him back, even more. Of course, our son has 3 yrs of martial arts training...So this woman has told our son to get beat up first then come to her! That's our world.
Oh it's been taken care of but you missed the point. Music evokes feelings in people, it's not just to dance to, get high to: this song just so happens to evoke feelings in some of us for a different time, one where we weren't the problem as you say, for having the feelings we have. That for me is the success of the performance artist, one who creates the opportunity to express a response. I'll damn guarantee that you cannot understand that, as evidence, I give you your post.
Talk to me about music? Evoke away, have your "feelings". Music doesn't change, people do. Man up, get over yourself, this ain't the 60's. I was there. Obriously, you weren't. If you can't do the job, why not ? A paid flamer would be best guess. Right?
@dogsdinna you fucking kiddin me? you could buy a gun earlier than you could legally buy a drink as easily as that? and you say today we're idiots because in your country it`s a little more difficult for any idiot us cowboy to walk in the street packing heat.
why don´t you go blow your brains out you lunatic.
I am a Baby Boomer. You fellow ''Boomers'', are Goddamned idiots! Life was no ''more fun and simpler". 1965 was the year I went to Vietnam. We had kids dying of drug overdoses, race riots, lynchings in the south, runaway inflation, and the start of madness. You crackers are so damn stupid!!!
@panzercat39 Thank you Panzer....Another person with a sense of history and common sense! For example: The Andy Griffiths Show was based in Mayberry, North Carolina. They NEVER showed signs that said "White Only''. The Gomer Pyle Show came on between 1964-1969 and NEVER mentioned Vietnam. In other words, the powers that be did everything they could from shielding people from reality.
we were happier in the 60's then wars and Kennedy's shot and Marilyn Monroe killed and James dean dead and Martin Luther King murdered by blacks and the world of innocence was lost forever
@STEALTHPANDA96: WTH are you talking about? James Dean died in 1955, and MLK certainly wasn't murdered by blacks (maybe you're thinking of Malcolm X?)
Way back in 1988, the "Enfant Terrible" of the English popscene, Julian Cope, made a quite acceptable rendition of this classic and ageless uplifting kind of a song. His version however, runs for approximately 3.49 mins. flat, and bears all
the hallmarks of a typical "Saint" Julian song: Cool, Refreshing, and downright
edgy. Or in laments terms: Mental As Anything. LIVE IT UP!
Me and my daughter were eating dinner at a hamburger joint that plays music from the 60's. I love going going to there because I can hear all the great tunes from the formative years of my childhood. This song came on and I immediately went back in time and wanted to hear it again, knowing I'd find it here on YT. I told my daughter I remember hearing this song when I was in kindergarten so it must've been from '65. She's 29, and amazed that I can remember that far back(lol). Love this song!
Yes, the ultimate blue collar workers song, especially if you did not have that "long haired" girl waiting for you at the end of the day....but if she was there, yes it was worth while to slave away..what a classic, what great music...thanks for posting!
I love the performances on shows like "Hullabaloo and "Shindig". I suppose they come across as a bit corny these days, but they were fun to watch and there was a constant experimentation and change going on in the music world back then and they were certainly a lot more fun to watch than the blatant occult rituals masquerading as music videos performed by the the likes of Beyonce and Lady Gaga, in my opinion.
This song was a hit in 1965, after the British invasion, so there was still room for groups like The Four Seasons and The Vogues to have hits along with the Beatles if they had good songs. The Vogues didn't write this song (it was written by Allen Reynolds), so maybe they just ran out of hit-worthy songs to record.
The Vogues did a stellar job performing this classic on stage and live. Tight harmonies, great tone. Very impressive considering they didn't have the luxury of digital enhancing equipment in the 60's. My only complaint about this live performance is the sloppy work of the bass player. He's way off time, and his rhythm leaves much to be desired.
@rockythehero - It was a time in America when those who stood up for what they believed in were beaten up, had dogs sicced on them, they were teargassed and called Communists. Some were shot. Probably the majority of Americans hated people who stood up for what they believed in, as a reproach to themselves for not doing it too.
@flakbac -- we *were* the baby boomers. And we were certainly told what to think all the time. Remember HUAC, the House Unamerican Activities Committee? Remember the censorship of the mails by the Post Office?
This was a time when the director's know that shaking the camera only p*sses off* the audience. Something contemporary director's need to learn. The audience belongs *IN* the audience--not on the stage!
You're seriously comparing this group to modern boy bands? You do know that the beginnings of American pop music featured 4 male vocalists in not a few acts, right? You can't really apply modern music classifications to the 60's groups that were the progenitors of pop/rock music, total misnomer to do so.
@sullenday i guess a lot of things we think of as being gay today werent thought of as such back in the day. classic example, the robin costume from the batman comic books. robin was dressed pretty gay even into the 80's ... totally different by today's standards.
This one is live! Most of these are lip-synced. THANKS for posting. This was the first 45 single I got when I was about 4 years, and I've always loved it.
Nice to see a real live performance, with all the lip-synching that went on back then (and still does today). These guys could really sing. I saw them in concert the other night (Feb 12, 2011) in Queens, NY. The lead singer, Bill Burkette and the lead tenor, Hugh Geyer are still performing in the group.
@RBEband Well yeah we weren't adults yet lol Takes getting older to knock the hope out of you lol Seriously it was a great time to be alive and a teen. I think the compassion we have today is from that time. While hippies didn't last there is still Hippie in our souls. However we also had a war that was shrinking our generation, but it was the power of love not hate that stopped that war.
@Tonithenightowl You have exactly hit the nail on the head. I could not, in my wildest dreams, have put this idea so tight. You, Sir/M'aam, are a treasure to be looked upon.
@B52sguy It would be M'aam and I thank you for your compliment. While no generation is without it's faults there was something about the "love generation" that was unlike any other. We wanted to be enlightened. We knew there had to be a better way. The age of Aquarius began there. We taught it to our children and now it's their turn to teach it to their children. Love is always the better way. Peace on earth is the true treasure. We are all in this together. We are all one.
@Tonithenightowl Hi, there "Ma'am"! Sorry to take a couple days to thank you for your thank you for my thank you. Ha!
Anyway, as I am an Aquarian, and fully conversant with the "hippie" movement, I just decided at the time it was not for me. I had no complaints and learned from an early age that nothing is going to be for free. Somewhere or another a responsible person will have to pay for what they sow.
@B52sguy Hello Joseph, I too am an Aquarian Jan 21st here. You are right nothing is free but LOVE. You can't pay for it, you can't force it, you can't own it. It's given freely or not at all. It wasn't the lifestyle I was attracted to,but the attitude.If you don't work, you don't eat. That's reality. You do reap what you sow. However, what I think they did bring to the table was being none materialistic and more spiritual. I am forever grateful for that and I taught my kids the same.
@Tonithenightowl Hey! That's my birthday Too! Although I do agree in principle with what you said, I just don't understand how anyone in this world could be non-materialistic? I mean, your typing on some source of device, and have to have a carrier, and the food in the fridge is cold, and one's car get's them around, etc.
The spiritual, well that's a whole different ballgame. No greater spirit than the spirit of self.
@Tonithenightowl Oh come on, you know what I mean. We are not to judge ppl or feel our worth from what we own. We all use things that are materialistic.
@RBEband You cannot imagine how true that is . Our Nation and the world today makes you very happy that you are 60 years old and thank God you will not have to see it much longer. The fact that we do not live forever is truly one of Gods greatest gifts. The air is turning to poison and people are dying of cancer at alarming rates.
@joesphx19 True and the stupid liberals and monorites say that the world is better now. Better for the sinners and for the minorities that want to bleed the system dry. Not for honest people.
Couldn''t said it better. Usually I leave out political type comments on these kind of videos but lately when I say that things were better then someone says, "yeah for you a white man". I am sick of that response, it sure was better then and would be now if we go back to the morals and principles that we had then. And the reason we are here, the music was better then, no cRAP singing about murdering, beating women or almost anything else they do.
@joesphx19 Well I am glad people like you are on youtube who speak the truth. Please keep up the good word. I see from your pic that you are a Catholic and I think the church was better then too.
nordiclovequeen, I agree. Unlike bands such as the Mamas and the Papas who lip-synched their live shows, it's refreshing to see great music from that period performed live the way it's meant to be. I think they sound damn good......no need to enhance their performance with the studio version playing along.
Just did some quick research. This song reached number four on the Billboard chart in 1965, the second consecutive song that reached that position the same year.
rocnrollfool, you probably never heard the song simply because of your age. I'm 44 and have heard the song many times.....and it was popular in its day. Great tune, don't you think? :)
Did they sue. That is insane The Drew Carey Show made this song. Honestly how many times did you hear this song before The Drew Carey Show. I never did I am 23 years old and a fan of all genre's of music. The only radio station I listened to when I was a kid was Magic 105.7 in Cleveland, Ohio and the only music they play was recorded on vinyl. I believe that this song is much more popular because of The Drew Carey Show
Bad direction. The spread-out stage and wimpy sound robs them of their compressed energy. Dial up a YouTube taken off the record to get the full measure of this song.
My understanding is the with the addition of Bill & Hugh, the bogus Vogues think they now have credibility. The imitation Vogues (minus Bill & Hugh) were in my home town three years ago. After the concert, I saw them autographing various vinyl LP jackets. It was pathetic to say the least. I think the only winners in this mess are the lawyers.
My sound company is right as we are speaking running sound with the vogues, I'm back stage making sure everything is ok, making faces at the drummer lol. The poor bass players mom died last night so they are with a new bassist and it's shaky, I have 5 o'clock recorded and will be posting soon
Saw them in Las Vaegas a year ago; excellent. As far as Drew Carey goes, he was using this song without permission and was asked to not use it, which he agreed to, since the Vogues were not paid for it.
The Vogues best song! Excellent singers and singing it live, and the song has a version where there are lots of strings, which is great also, in my opinion. It is a great working man's anthem, (change a few words and it could be a woman's anthem) with a little underlying sadness, which adds to its power.
This song reminds me of younger days

Way back in 1988, the "Enfant Terrible" of the English popscene, Julian Cope, made a quite acceptable rendition of this classic and ageless uplifting kind of a song. His version however, runs for approximately 3.49 mins. flat, and bears all
the hallmarks of a typical "Saint" Julian song: Cool, Refreshing, and downright
edgy. Or in laments terms: Mental As Anything. LIVE IT UP!

Me and my daughter were eating dinner at a hamburger joint that plays music from the 60's. I love going going to there because I can hear all the great tunes from the formative years of my childhood. This song came on and I immediately went back in time and wanted to hear it again, knowing I'd find it here on YT. I told my daughter I remember hearing this song when I was in kindergarten so it must've been from '65. She's 29, and amazed that I can remember that far back(lol). Love this song!

Yes, the ultimate blue collar workers song, especially if you did not have that "long haired" girl waiting for you at the end of the day....but if she was there, yes it was worth while to slave away..what a classic, what great music...thanks for posting!

I love the performances on shows like "Hullabaloo and "Shindig". I suppose they come across as a bit corny these days, but they were fun to watch and there was a constant experimentation and change going on in the music world back then and they were certainly a lot more fun to watch than the blatant occult rituals masquerading as music videos performed by the the likes of Beyonce and Lady Gaga, in my opinion.

emmers57 9 months ago
@emmers57
This song was a hit in 1965, after the British invasion, so there was still room for groups like The Four Seasons and The Vogues to have hits along with the Beatles if they had good songs. The Vogues didn't write this song (it was written by Allen Reynolds), so maybe they just ran out of hit-worthy songs to record.
ChiJrsyMs 9 months ago
The Vogues did a stellar job performing this classic on stage and live. Tight harmonies, great tone. Very impressive considering they didn't have the luxury of digital enhancing equipment in the 60's. My only complaint about this live performance is the sloppy work of the bass player. He's way off time, and his rhythm leaves much to be desired.

@rockythehero - It was a time in America when those who stood up for what they believed in were beaten up, had dogs sicced on them, they were teargassed and called Communists. Some were shot. Probably the majority of Americans hated people who stood up for what they believed in, as a reproach to themselves for not doing it too.

@paragshah2112
You're seriously comparing this group to modern boy bands? You do know that the beginnings of American pop music featured 4 male vocalists in not a few acts, right? You can't really apply modern music classifications to the 60's groups that were the progenitors of pop/rock music, total misnomer to do so.

I think the compassion we have today is from that time. While hippies didn't last there is still Hippie in our souls. However we also had a war that was shrinking our generation, but it was the power of love not hate that stopped that war.

@B52sguy It would be M'aam and I thank you for your compliment. While no generation is without it's faults there was something about the "love generation" that was unlike any other. We wanted to be enlightened. We knew there had to be a better way. The age of Aquarius began there. We taught it to our children and now it's their turn to teach it to their children. Love is always the better way. Peace on earth is the true treasure. We are all in this together. We are all one.

@Tonithenightowl Hi, there "Ma'am"! Sorry to take a couple days to thank you for your thank you for my thank you. Ha!
Anyway, as I am an Aquarian, and fully conversant with the "hippie" movement, I just decided at the time it was not for me. I had no complaints and learned from an early age that nothing is going to be for free. Somewhere or another a responsible person will have to pay for what they sow.
Thanks for writing.

@B52sguy Hello Joseph, I too am an Aquarian Jan 21st here. You are right nothing is free but LOVE. You can't pay for it, you can't force it, you can't own it. It's given freely or not at all. It wasn't the lifestyle I was attracted to,but the attitude.If you don't work, you don't eat. That's reality. You do reap what you sow. However, what I think they did bring to the table was being none materialistic and more spiritual. I am forever grateful for that and I taught my kids the same.

@Tonithenightowl Hey! That's my birthday Too! Although I do agree in principle with what you said, I just don't understand how anyone in this world could be non-materialistic? I mean, your typing on some source of device, and have to have a carrier, and the food in the fridge is cold, and one's car get's them around, etc.
The spiritual, well that's a whole different ballgame. No greater spirit than the spirit of self.
See you!

Couldn''t said it better. Usually I leave out political type comments on these kind of videos but lately when I say that things were better then someone says, "yeah for you a white man". I am sick of that response, it sure was better then and would be now if we go back to the morals and principles that we had then. And the reason we are here, the music was better then, no cRAP singing about murdering, beating women or almost anything else they do.

Did they sue. That is insane The Drew Carey Show made this song. Honestly how many times did you hear this song before The Drew Carey Show. I never did I am 23 years old and a fan of all genre's of music. The only radio station I listened to when I was a kid was Magic 105.7 in Cleveland, Ohio and the only music they play was recorded on vinyl. I believe that this song is much more popular because of The Drew Carey Show

My understanding is the with the addition of Bill & Hugh, the bogus Vogues think they now have credibility. The imitation Vogues (minus Bill & Hugh) were in my home town three years ago. After the concert, I saw them autographing various vinyl LP jackets. It was pathetic to say the least. I think the only winners in this mess are the lawyers.

The Vogues best song! Excellent singers and singing it live, and the song has a version where there are lots of strings, which is great also, in my opinion. It is a great working man's anthem, (change a few words and it could be a woman's anthem) with a little underlying sadness, which adds to its power.
