oliver, good morning starshine

[Raeboot1]

LOL this takes me back to the 90's when the people of Springfield formed a circle and sang in celebration because the alien was only Mr. Burns.

[qbea5]

Beautiful song, totally recharging... However, 'Oh What a Beautiful Morning' is from Oliver, this one is from 'Hair'.

[turkey61]

Oh happy child hood memories... Sunday car rides with the family. This song would be on the radio. It would make me feel so happy.......still does.. I love it. Thank you Oliver : )

[trinitylancer]

I remember this song vividly from early June of 1969, it happened to be the first week that I ever worked partime. Summer was a couple weeks away and I just turned 16. Where on earth did the past 43 years go to?

[kiky4]

i love you all

[suzydza]

I pretty much hate my job. Today on the way to work, some divine guidance told me to play this. I had a great day and my mood has improved greatly! I've been listening on & off all day. I find it's impossible to have a bad day with this positive energy resonating! Maybe the "song, song, song, si-ing, sing, sing, sing-----sooooong is my new OM! Hope it's good for you, too!

[GoodeGirl65]

This was mine and my husband's song when we were dating. Brings back beautiful memories!

[RainyNytes]

Love Love this song, this type of music!

[sauquoit13456]

Oliver (William Oliver Swofford) was born on this date in 1945. {Feb. 22nd}

Sadly, Oliver passed away on February 12th, 2000... May he R.I.P.

[ThatPurplyThing]

I wake up to this song on my alarm clock every morning. :)

[phillip4644]

There was about a dozen guys back in the 1960's/70's who seemed to have more interesting singing voices than we have today.

[vinkamar]

Me lleva a una época especial, cuando tenía muuuchas ilusiones .Gracias al amigo que me envió este regalo.

Bernie48,

I give you 5 stars out of 5 for a terrific and colorful video. It is visually a work of art, and the shot of the pretty female eye is simply outstanding and I just wanted to thank you personally my friend..I hope to see more of your work.

[smokeringday]

Posted to the Hippy Peace Freaks FB page with deep and abiding appreciation Bernie

Thank You

[kimiko5996]

@smokeringday That's where I saw this song :D

[corkie1953]

this was one of my rocking the baby to sleep songs..... : )

[susiz100]

beautiful music, with wonderful words and melody. This is the music of a fantastic generation which I am proud of being a part of it, wish the would make more of these beautiful plenty of meaning music...



[swampzoid]

I totlally love this song . he

sounds a little like john denver.

[Catbird7073]

I remember singing this song as a kid and swinging on the swing on the side of our house. I loved this song and still do! I'd play it in the morning when I woke up my kids to get ready for preschool and then regular school. I'd sing along with it, with a smile on my face as I said good morning, starshine! to each child in the morning. What beautiful memories this song brings back. :)

[mauriciobeltre]

Only true genuine inspiration can produce melodies that seem devine, that seem they pre-existed, and have reached us somehow. These will always cause very special emotions...their note patterns and harmonic changes blend in perfectly with trillions of sensory cells in our brains. That´s why today´s music is garbage. It is not art.....for art only comes from genuiness.

[mauriciobeltre]

@mauriciobeltre.....from genuine inspiration.

[smokeringday]

@mauriciobeltre ...YES...Music like this IS pre-destined to emerge, engage and interact with those who have hearts to feel and ears to hear. LOVE your comment!

[ikeplus1]

Those were the times,lived them mellow.

[franciesfinds041]

meant to say HEARD

[franciesfinds041]

I hadnt heart this song in years..I was only about 15. SING!!!

[jaytf1231]

This was one of 5 songs that made it to the charts in 1969 from the Broadway musical "Hair." The others were Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in(actually two songs in one) Hair,and Easy to be hard. Good times. Top 40 was the greatest from the mid sixties to the early seventies. I think us "Old Heads" would agree right?

[Gustavo1568]

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH :D:DDD

[TCBrak]

16 people do not know a happy go lucky song when they hear it.

[all4musica]

Love it!:)

[xXxTeenQueenxXx]

I'M SOOOO IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG :') ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Nestor123057]

I came home from school one day and turned the TV on to channel 13. Lo and behold, this guy was singing this song with the muppets. It blew my little school boy mind. I've never been the same since.

[nncgragnano]

Why can't people make songs like this any more? Inspiration is gone..

[jasonwheel]

@nncgragnano the times have changed...

[CHIEFNITEHAWK63]

I love the Pictures and Music.

[jayevan50]

I have no idea why I woke up with this song in my head... but thanks for posting brings back memories...



[crossbones64]

tripping on shrooms with the brady's.

[PGMEagle]

Don't know why but I always thought it was John Denver that did this song.

[siriusdancer]

@PGMEagle And I have thought it was Donovan for 20 years!!!!!!

[dvs1ne]

OH MY GOD...I AM TRIPPING WITH THE BRADYS o_0

[kloudzjia]

1969 i was 15 and my mother learned to sing it with me LOL looks like this is a mother-daughter love song! glad i was born early 50s, awesome...

summer of love was 1967.

[stevarino1989]

Ah the summer of 1969, the summer of love (or was that 1968?)--ugh I was born 20 years too late. I wonder what it would be like living in the hippie age. My parents were 10. lol. Why can't music be like this anymore?

[jasonwheel]

Brings back good memories of being in elementary school and playing in the yard outside. They used this in a school play, played it in the auditorium. You knew even then you were hearing history.

[centralparocker]

Best version of this great song....!!!!

[all4musica]

Always loved this song...:):)

[mobece]

My husband sang this song to my pregnant belly every morning. And moments after my daughters birth, we both began to sing it to her ... And she listened!

[isukaman]

This song was popular around the same time that Apollo 11 was launched.

[flydadj]

Wow...I remember this when it first came out...we need more music like this!!

[RKlisch]

I feel more connected to the universe, thanks to this song and video.

[serpfire]

This is the song you listen to during your morning wake and bake... :)

[Blairbear28]

@serpfire omg that is EXACTLY what I am doing!

[ONEOFHAM1]

@serpfire oh fuck you man, why didnt you tell me sooner man, i already waked and baked like, 20 fucking minutes ago.

[jeffaodegaard]

[nermetz]

Finally one with good quality sound!

[mulioctaveman]

I'm here because Beverely D' Angelo sang the hell out of this song in Hair.

[1031220honeylove]

So Great fantastic!

[timegirl777]

I love this song. None of my friends get old music. My sister sings this all the time.

[diane189444]

Look at it this way all America friends if it was not for us you guys would be carring draft cards and being TOLD what to do. Taken out of college, A gun in your hands and TOLD to go fight at the age of 18 years old. Horses being run off cliffs by the BLM . Woman with hardly any rights. We had to change things and this song helped us :) just gave us a happy feeling. Hugs :)

[diane189444]

This is a classic song  I remember it well :) As a flower child we sang this allot. Thank you for this video... Hugs ;)

[fattybooful]

I remember hearing this song on the radio as a small boy. The Older Generation used to think the hippies rubbed them up the wrong way a bit. I hope there is another spiritual age like that one day. All people seem to winge and wine about these days is their mortgages and rents! Great song.

[ashley101verve]

Da Da La La Good Morning StarShine

[takemeback2]

@rextrek I hear ya. The summer of 1969 is when I remember so many great songs that almost disappeared. I'm 53 now and recall this stuff well. I can hear music by the beach boys is another. I can go on.

[Throwmethewhip]

I.....Am YOUR FATHER! was the 1st words to my kids.

[mcog2006]

I'm tripping with the bradys.

[chuckbuckbobuck]

First 45 RPM single I ever bought---July, 1969 Cottonwood Mall, Salt Lake City 99 cents.  I was so happy when my mother gave me the money to buy this song. 42 years later it still one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2watermelons]

Good morning starshine the earth says hello is the first words I said to my children when they were born

[fuzzyprism]

@2watermelons, what a wonderful moment to share, thank you. Hope your children are still filled with starshine.

[sweetgypsy100]

@2watermelons -- what a wonderful thing to say to them!! Perfect!

[peejay6424]

I gave birth in 1969 to a beautiful daughter and I would hold her and dance to this song.

Each year I play it for her birthday. She turns 42 tomorrow.

[greenaissance1]

@peejay6424 Did you call her Starshine?

[LexBelladonna]

@peejay6424 I want to be the next generation you, as a mother. That's amazing. My mom does things like that as well. <3

[xXxTeenQueenxXx]

@peejay6424 OMG! This is the cutest thing I've ever read today on the internet. :')

[precious7things]

Nice song and good video, no wonder if this is on my list already.

Thank you.<3

[joedlang]

One summer in Riverton, Wyoming, I had to take over my older brother's paper route while he recuperated from a knee injury.  My mom drove me around in the morning and every day we would deliver a paper to the theater, that also had a donut shop. She would give me a dollar and I would get two donuts, one for her and one for me. As soon as we drove up to the theater, this song came on because it was the intro to the morning deejays at the local radio station. Memories.

[greencard572]

I don`t know wether to laugh or cry listening to this song....it`s so happy and trippy !!

[stallion231000]

holy shit..i can imagine being high listening to this shit... O.o

[27wingnut]

the wonderful memories this song brings back........

[GoofballLtG]

I LOVE hearing this song every time I watch the movie "The Dish". :)

[dennisleecluckey]

what a great song being a teen ager in the 60's brought a joy that still sparkles to this day..always loved this song

[12161euclid]

oh to be a time lord. i'd head back to the 1960s,and never return.

[omega311888]

@12161euclid amen to that!

[manuelespinosa02]

And there was love, and music, and peace, and flowers in the hair

[MartyredxMaiden]

I first heard this song when I was just a tiny thing in elementary school during morning sing along/read along. I never forgot it. This is the first time I'm hearing it in full again. My mom didn't believe me that there was really a song that when "sabba sibby sabba...". Brings back that light, airy feeling of being a kid again, being in that eternal state ofinner blissful innocence!

[Lovearth9]

:-)



[OwenParrish]

I remember this as it was sung on Sesame street, my son Chris was 3 and to him it was the "Sibby sibby sabah song" great memories!

[Mandi7882]

@OwenParrish - Thank you for mentioning this. I'm a Sesame Street fan from this too, and yes, Sibby, Sibby Sabbah was the chant of many of us!

[freeform46]

I was only 5 when this song came out, but I heard part of it in one of the Brady Bunch movies would you believe..lol. So I decided to check out the full song and I love it! Music from the 70s can't be beat.

[kristen0420]

RIP - William 'Oliver' Swofford (February 22, 1945 – February 12, 2000)

[HeartoftheDragonColo]

They don't write lyrics like that anymore LOL. I figure it's an early morning singin' song & you haven't had your coffee yet so you don't make as much sense. Great song, though. Happy hippies!

[priapus56]

@HeartoftheDragonColo What?  Flippy flappy flooby...la..la..la.low..low??

[Proletariat12]

@priapus56 lol that was my thought to. A person can enjoy the song, sure, but don't pretend the lyrics are amazing lol. lalal low low song sing song, singing a song, flippy flappy, singing a song, da da da sing, sing sing sing a song, sing sing sing song song song, sing , songsingsing... sing siiiing a siiiing And so on etc lol

[RaybornButtercups]

@HeartoftheDragonColo no. not even close lol. It's a song people on drugs listen to when they are high.

[awpman25]

@HeartoftheDragonColo or it could be all the acid..

[collinsup]

@HeartoftheDragonColo Wow I was just singing it and had not had my coffee yet :P

[dancervideosplus]

Great song and cd to set for your alarm clock.

[CoreaKixx420]

It was the summer of '69. Camping up in Wawa, On, Huntsville, Bracebridge, and up around Sault St. Marie. Great memories of that July. Man landed on the moon, and Neil Diamond also had a smash hit for the ages...Sweet Caroline!!What a summer!!!

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love it.

Amazing song.

[savioesilva1]

Música incrível!

[BOBBIE041957]

One of the songs from the summer of 1969 my favorite summer close second to the summer of 1967. The music of 69 was so diverse and just great to remember going to the lake while the radio is on and these great songs as the backdrop of our lives. Great memories, that was a great summer.

[Beatleboy1968]

Feel Good Music

[judewishedhimselfout]

If this song were a country I'd move to it.

[zuperia72]

sooo cool!!!

[SaveThePerishables]

I'm OBSESSED with the 1960s and 70s. AND the 50s. I buy/make the fashions, listen to the music, do the hair. I love it. I love the innocence of it. Not just that, but the positivity. Music now makes me get suicidal, but music like this makes my mind content.

[EyeHawk777]

@SaveThePerishables

please don't be suicidal. the world needs people like you. xx

[SaveThePerishables]

@EyeHawk777 Awww! Thank you, pumpkin. <3

[elguru51]

La verdad, es una canción que me transporta a una época, a una hermosa época, este tema de Oliver me recuerda a mi mismo en mi juventud a los muchachos y las muchachas de la cuadra, me recuerda a mis hermanos con el pelo largo, soñando y queriendo cambiar el mundo, estábamos estrenando vida, teníamos en nuestras manos el futuro y era promisorio, ese era nuestro tiempo y en el no había cabida para mas nada que no fuera ser feliz, le doy gracias a Dios por permitirme vivir por esos días.

[crystalwoman1]

This is a very happy & stress free video. Thank you

We had great music in the 1960s-1980s today we have junk.

I first heard this in episode or Adsolutely Fabulous. When they went skiing. 

[Cutieboi169]

Hey where could I find the Rainbow sunset pic? At 3:03??

[doulos58]

Wish I could say something really witty to get people to recognize just how brilliant this song is, but true beauty would only blush at such exaggerations.

[megamarillion1]

Não me importo nem um pouquinho que 9 já estão no iferno há tempos!

Não tem bom gosto musical... bem feito !

[tormolan]

Que bellísima canción, tocada aquí en Lima-PERU, en el invierno de 1969, inolvidable para mí, con un amor tan grande que solo me dí cuenta cuanto la amaba cuando ya no la tenía. Que manera tan estúpida de jugar mis elecciones. a pesar de estar tan lleno de romanticismo, cada detalle de ese invierno lo guardo con tanta nitidez, porque el ingrediente especial era el amor que sentía por esa chica Violeta.V.C.

[MultiAlameri]

فلم جميل جداااااااا

[candels1]

Awesome.......................­.­...CAN WE ALL JUST LISTEN FOR ABOUT 4 MINUTES or so ...w eshould check just how stupid we sound to the galaxy ....

[john52ification]

the main difference between the songs of that age and today is we voted by buying the records that made it to top.Now we are by ways of manipulation [ads etc ] more or less told what is going to be a hit.individualality has gone and in my opinion has gone forever.Look at your comedians all the same . How many of the songs over the last 20 years will people be whisling in the future ?

[JazzCat60]

Here's some other songs that may appeal to some of you out there: San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers In Your Hair) Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In, Gentle On My Mind, Spirit in the Sky, Up - Up and Away, The Air That I Breathe, Crystal Blue Persuasion, Eight Miles High, Ferry Cross the Mersey, I'm a Believer, Time of the Season, The Mighty Quinn ...to name just a few happy songs from this general era.

[newphx]

It surprises me how many times I play this song first in the morning.
