You Can Do Magic ( America )

[sweetied221]

I just want to go back in time and have Gerry Beckley do some magic on me. You would not have been able to get me off of him. Great band great songs great voices. Love them

[groovinmoose]

hey mara or whatever you wanna call yourself..the band is..great..music great  what the F--else is there? ..presentation is N O T H I N G..what's a good presentation with a terrible sounding song???????????????????

[EVLGTR]

@groovinmoose I agree with marathonmutt, this video just happens to suck big time since its out of sync. We wouldnt be here if we werent watching youtube. might as well listen to this song on mp3. But then again there are other channel with the same video and music that is well presented

[hassannassaralah]

[pbrucpaul]

Good Bass! Keyboards and Harmony are the rest!

[becca27fan]

THIS VIDEO STOPS @ :52 STARTS REPLAYING THE SONG @1:00 THEN DOESN'T FINISH THE SONG!

[DiscolaMadkitten]

The music is the magic for me.

[ttweets2]

this guy has absolutely no idea what he's doing. so sad.

[kingofallwhites]

Too bad they couldn't do magic and have actually appeared at Dan Peek's funeral.

[uselessjoe]

this song was co-written by Billy Mumy, (will robinson of Lost In Space)

[weirdunclebob]

@uselessjoe Have you got any proof of that? I can't find any mention of Billy's name anywhere in relation to this. Cheers

[weirdunclebob]

@uselessjoe Have you got any proof of that? I can't find any mention of Billy's name anywhere in relation to this. I know he wrote some songs with them but I'm not sure which ones and I don't think this was one of them, that's all.

Cheers =)

[sweetied221]

If I had a time machine I'd go back in time to have Gerry do some magic on me.

[bucky468]

Was this vid ever on MTV? I don't remember them playing it.

[darkoriole]

The breaks in this video spoil an all but perfect song.

[CrazyGrapefruit]

YOU CAN HAVE TATER TOTS!

ON YOUR CHILI FRIES!

[JET997u]

What an outstanding band... some of the best music of the 1970s was made by America.

[ClnFrk71]

Great song & my fav by America.

[BrotherBoresIsBest]

This is the Sonic ad music, not that wack ish, Heart's desire

[Spiritsmum]

bloody hell Johnnie, you keep coming back to me! where are you really now, last time I heard was about three years past>>>>>>>>>>!!

[marpahela]

Forget presentation, good music and can use imagination, best way to listen to music................

[trs24june]

Murder of a nice song!

[Lizzie14500]

This video has a problem, because it is bad recorded.

[Lizzie14500]

This video has a problem, because the music is bad recorded.

[DemonsoulCR]

EPIC FAIL!!!!!

[marathonmutt]

ok, the band is great....the music is great.....this presentation sucks. I'm sure all the "dislikes" were toward the presentation.....not the band or the music

[corrupt200]

When I first heard this song, I thought it was from the 1970s (bear in mind, I was only 2 in 1982)...it appears that they still maintained a 70s style in this song

[Phil55au]

be nice if it was in sync and not cutting out, but thanks anyway. ugh!

[ZenDriveSeven]

I love that reverse recorded cymbal during the chorus. Very cool.

[pestenzine]

40 Blind People do not believe in magic

[pestenzine]

Beautiful Song

[pbrucpaul]

Whaaa? it starts back up again at 1:05. Am I the only one who gets that? Anyway, Good Pop harmony west coast style.

[0810yinyang]

best band ever..

[Rijksband]

This video doesn't play correctly. It's painful to take all that time loading and then there's a break and restart in the middle. Please take it down.

[hoejbob]

Good history write up opmtracker, what are you like KC Casem or something. I need you to stand in on my next job interview and narrate my job history

[MahbubBD]

This is one of those songs that inspired me to listen more English songs (1984). Great band, great sound, and i still love this song ...

[mscru]

[BlkCoyote1]

[Darkangel7438]

Damn good song, i'm 12 Almost 13 and i wish i couldev been alive to see the 80s sounds like the 1900s where the best of times mainly the 80s..happiness to everyone that was alive and old enough to see and hear and remember the music from that era...

[CarlosN93]

Im only 18 when i was younger i only like reggaeton and modern 'music'. One day my dad show me this band and i hate it think i was boring and no sense! but now im more mature i love it especially the lyrics thats the most important part of a song. God bless America

[ambersalcove]

[paulbrink6]

[SunnyDays951]

[jupiterlove76]

ughhhh they so ugly.... lmao i cant stop laughing

[StanBennet]

I was a little kid when America was hitting the charts. Didn't know their name. And then I'm at the roller rink at 13 and heard this song and never got the connection until years later.

[J1980lash]

oh memoriesss

[soulthepinkmage]

Thank god the sonic comercial made me remember this amazing song! I'm 16 and I love this era of music :D

[viennaloulibres]

i love this band

[superacdub90]

omg the sonic commercial lol 

[TPKshoes]

Thumbs up if the sonic commercial took you here.

[DOUGLIFE305]

when i saw the sonic commercial i was like wait.... i know dis song... DAMMIT!!! WAT IS IT!?!? lol... obviously i figured it out afterawhile

[jimmygil]

anyone remember a cartoon with this as either an ending or opening?

[DaveWollenberg]

Wait a minute. Dewey Bunnell was BORN in England, but, he's NOT English! America hit #8 in Billboard, 10-16-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@DaveWollenberg ... Members of the group were all Air Force babies and met while there parents were stationed at the same base in Cali (Hamilton Air Force Base I believe). This may explain why Dewey was born in England seeings with all the traveling and such. This is one of my favorite Marin County Bands. Simply, great musik!......"Jagar"

[chaumont20]

@ausfuhrpramienjagar America was formed at Hereford A.F.B, England.

[bedtime420]

Sonic commercial brought me here

[Vanfecto]

@bedtime420 same here

[bedtime420]

@Vanfecto hahaha thats the best.

[lob287]

Just now I saw a Sonic commercial that uses this tune. They lyrics are "This is how you Sonic". instead of You can do magic. it pretty pathetic.

[taypar11]

Great song by a band very underated. Many hits, great harmonies. Bands like America and the Grassroots and The Guess Who who have many hits and make their mark on music need to be in the R&R Hall of fame because they helped men and women live their lives in songs through memories. You can't buy memories, you have to live them through time and time alone.

[bellinhalm]

amooooooooooooo . me faz lembrar meus 15 anos kkkkk. beijos

[JuzJiggz]

nothing beats the classic..

[suganthanz]

Wow What a Great Song. I would give 10 million bucks for this group if i was rich. Such a Splendid Song. My all time favorite. World would have been empty if this song was not there !

[whpriol1]

I find it neat how the first part of the song restarts. Are a lot of there songs like this?

[johnnybendybones]

It is magigal

[ScyreMoon]

... The restart sucks...

[toursupport]

Please visit America at Facebook(dot)com/americaband and "Like" their page.  They'd love to hear from you!

[maggmoo43]

I used to listen to Americas earlier songs and never knew they sang this one. This came out during my "top forty" years.

[bhanujan1000]

i love this song

[platecrumb]

Forget about the year 2011 and get lost for a moment and reflect on your memories. The re-start screwed me up too! My GOSH! Get it RIGHT!!!!!!

[TobiasBech]

Lovely song, but CRAPPY upload. Why does it restart??!!!

[avoltagem]

[massarofan]

0:51 knocked me outta my singing mode 0_0 a good song like this shouldnt be interuppted!

A great band, growing up, didnt appreciate the talent that was in this band, but now, at 47, I realize, what a great band, the lyrics, the music....perfect

[100dfave]

@cressav yes totally agree with you

[queipo1959]

Great band, but with all respectcs I prefered Crosby Stills Nash & Young... The best in her style!

[sleaterkinney1bt]

[JasonConBongos]

video cuts off audio in the middle and audio gets out of sync with the video.

I think Gerry Beckley's mum was English ! Of course they grew up in England on the USAF bases. First album recorded in England. New album is excellent after a few dodgy years.

[Kegwithlegs]

Who was "Anglo" in the band????
