Steppenwolf- Magic Carpet ride

[aldermanjs]

 Between this song and Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee", they get me motivated to go to work!

[barfyspitz]

John Kay was inspired to write this when he was trying out his new record player. Laying between the speakers, amazed by the sound, the words began to flow

[slurpeelover23]

this song came on the radio when i went in for a test drive on the new mustang... couldnt have been any better.

[speedzonefilms]

This is trippy

[geralguti0917]

love this song...remember my husband who lives now in heaven.. love you my Tommy..

[RetardedxVideo]

i love it up untill 2:00....i dont like the non singing part, its too long and boring. i have to keep repeating the song.

[denxero]

@RetardedxVideo you probably dont understand anything about rock then... It's from 2:00 that the song finally becomes interesting after 2 mins of boring and non original singing.

[Kazyman]

@denxero Obviously it's YOU who doesn't know anything about rock. The middle IS boring because it's just an acid induced jam that has no merit musically or otherwise. I still perform this song live & cut out the overplayed, boring middle part. Other than that, this is still one of the best studio recordings to date.

[InfiniteMind12]

LOVE IT! Thank you for posting!! :)

[kristingonda]

FWB brought me here! :D

[legojoker111]

austsin powers brought me here :P

[ivygodess]

I've been linsting to this song for as long as i can rember , my father always had elvis playing or chuck berry and i think with my muical tastes i took it a step further and got into 70's music .. this and led zeppelin and others ... and yet i'm a child of the 80+90's and love allot of that music but i always find myself comming back to the 60;s and 70;s rock

[5StarGeneralXenoCO]

@ivygodess Yep, I'm mainly a 90's child and my parents were always playing 60's and 70's music and I became hooked! It is a shame that now a days what qualifies as music is naming the days of the week...."IT'S FRIDAY...FRIDAY!" >.<

[girrawheenboy]

5 people missed there magic carpet ride

[jeantr32]

you're right Thetainted !

[brendanman30]

I first heard this song on austin powers when I was a little kid, about 4. Heard it a few times since then, but it took me a while to find the name of the song when I searched the soundtrack. I must say, pretty damn awesome to hear something I haven't heard in a while like this song.

[bleemster]

remember the nascar game opening with this song

[BSUboy81]

nascar game?

[LastSoldier115]

@bleemster best game ever!

[glasscitadel12]

[alstartuck51]

[btj89]

it's amazing how back then a group of guys could get together and produce such great music. nowadays you just have solo artists with 'backup' producing crap.

[cindrellasunshine]

@btj89 You got that right!!!!

[ArrianBlood]

Sooo many good tunes.

[TheSal702]

[nealadams70]

[asphaltlines34]

i first heard this song and thought

"i looked...around...a lousy can was all i found"

[walnats82]

[ChitownStever1]

This song has stood the test of time,It still rocks!!!!

[4Losified]

Everytime I smoke trees to this,drivin on tha freeway or postedc at tha jont(house)

[lawrencelugar7777]

I like to dream, yes yes, right between the sound machine.

I love this song - it's so magical.

[Metteloid]

GOOGLE, WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM. GET YOU LOUD DAMN SINGING ADS OFF MY VIDEOS. I do not want to hear poor-quality crappy country music in a rollover ad. I now REFUSE to patronize your sponsors at iTunes. Fuck off and stop buying ads with sound. Everyone hates them,

[Thetainted0]

@Metteloid

was that directed to me or what...

[Metteloid]

@Thetainted0 Unless you chose what ad to play next to your vid, not at all. It was just me ranting at Youtube.

[knightace2002]

@Thetainted0 google they bought youtube and now put ads on every single video and it's annoying the fuck out of ppl

[Thetruegodofwar1]

@Thetainted0 No, i don't think that was directed at you, but at google. Thanks for uploading the song. it's a timeless classic that some of today's artists could learn from. No soul to today's shit.

[Automonaut9]

@Thetainted0 at google chrome probably.. i have the same problem pop up ads that have sound.... annot as fuck when you didnt see them pop up

[showbizpizzablog]

@Thetainted0 It was directed to Google.

[showbizpizzablog]

@Metteloid

you read my mind

[OrangeColita]

@Metteloid

my computer had a virus on it a couple months ago that would play horrible audio ads at random. sometimes it would play the same ad over and over and over, and whoever created the ad definitely purposed for it to be annoying. i really question why/if anyone would ever give their patronage to anything advertised in that way

[btj89]

@Metteloid firefox -> adblock plus

[climbhigh989]

@Metteloid double like.

[kitt648]

@Metteloid free music on utube comes with adds. there like 30 sec long. GET OVER IT!!!!!

[schpex]

@Metteloid If nobdy watches the ADs, there would be no Youtube.

[PMMJGRL14EV]

@Metteloid YOU TELL EM!!(;

[flm829]

@Metteloid Ah......YouTube is a free site.....how the hell do you think they pay for this shit? If you can find a better site with free music & videos without the ads then use that site but I seriously doubt you'll find a better one.....that's the problem with our society today.....free free free me me me........Every asshole out there wants something for nothing....

[CtrlAltxMasterx]

@flm829 Loooool lovely speech :) i totally agree

[kyoukilis20]

@Metteloid dude your lucky we can listen to this music for free. obviously you dont remember 5 or 10 years ago when we couldnt.

[DeadAtrocity]

@Metteloid That's why you use Google Chrome and get the extension, Stop Auto Play For Youtube, it stops a video from auto playing, but if there is an ad, it lets the ad play and mutes it.

[TestECull]

@Metteloid Ad Block Plus. Get it. Enjoy.

[megatron0357]

funky funky jam!!! love it!!!

[samla101]

i love this song

[SecretWizardSociety]

By the way I recomend that everyone goes and experiences hallucinigens in a safe enviroment, like, the woods for example. Or your local 7/11, who knows what you'll find?

[simbalisten]

Lmao good one dude lol

[jakedogz]

@SecretWizardSociety I've experienced hallucinogens in a multitude of places. I rember tripping working behind a bar, because the acid lasted far longer than presumed lol good times :|

[mikenthensome]

@jakedogz you guys are a buncha bitches shut up

[dylanfee88]

@jakedogz  drugs are bad mkay jk

[Thetrippyfrog1]

@SecretWizardSociety ha ha i think the woods r the best for LSD it so groovy when u got som guitar and bongos

[RStarga]

I take the top off the Targa...and put on this jam...and that K-27 is on full boost!

Heaven!!

[thedeviltroy]

fuckin idiots! its not pedo, little girl is a metaphor,all bitches are little girls

[WhoOwnsTheFish]

lol child molester, no man. thats just how they spoke then.

[zack22xx90]

wtf lil girl child melester?

[SecretWizardSociety]

@zack22xx90 No, get your mind out of the gutter. IMO it sounds like he is talking to a younger girl who is experiencing her first hallucination.

[75erickeith]

my dad loves this song! y donch you come with me lil girl for a

magic carpet ride

[CynicPhilosopher]

your dad's a pedo..

[visitajnas]

[sirjosephwilliam]

all i got to say isss...... fuck yea...

[mynameistoejam]

getting stoned and listening to music with headphones on. "i like to dream yes, yes right between my sound machine."

[Draca3]

it's about weed.. no matter how you look at it... it's weed....

[AntonioDR88]

hahahaha its weed man !!! its alll about weed man !!!!

[epsilon497]

the funny thing, we played this for marching band. our directors had us play a stoner song

[Martinizrul]

pretty much any good song from this same era is a stoner song, fucking love it

[Thetrippyfrog1]

@Martinizrul hell yea man and i fuckin love it man lol so groovy!

[patchris07]

@Martinizrul most people smoked Mary back then but most songs are about heroin, LSD, Speed and Mushrooms.

[allstar00442288]

@Martinizrul how is this and all other good songs from this era stoner song? Hmm, let me think. Well theres lucy in the sky with diamonds, and thats about it for stoner songs. You pothead faggots think everything is about drugs and almost everyone does drugs. ITs pathetic really.

[Martinizrul]

@allstar00442288 too bad if you knew me youd know that im straight-edge.......man, thats gotta be embarrassing for you

[allstar00442288]

@Martinizrul oh yeah, its totally embarassing for me to assume that you arent straight edge based off of the fact that you wrote word for word "pretty much any good song from this same era is a stoner song, fucking love it"... Lmao do you read your text before you post it? You should start doing so before you make yourself look even more retarded. Lol and your saying im the embarassed one...

[souldetective66]

yeah so did we,big fat muthers they was

[btrasente]

I smoke joints to that song man!

[souldetective66]

in the early 70s this was my best mates favorite track on the local jukebox,he passed away couple of weeks ago,we played Black Napkins by Zappa,dust in the wind by kansas ,and samba pa ti santana,at his funeral,he had great taste in music miss ya peter hadley

[softie4cats]

he had really good taste in music!!!! im so sorry for your loss.

[lynchrvrhhr]

@souldetective66 Great taste indeed! sorry bout you friend!

[CynicPhilosopher]

i'm pretty sure this ones about heroin.. not music. he had a magic lamp and wish he could stay, but he woke up feeling robbed and all he found was a lousy candle.. imo it's about heroin, but what do i know? certainly nothing about heroin..lmao

[AFistCalledStone]

No, its about pot.

"Last night I held Aladins Lamp

So I wished that I could stay,

Before the genie could awnser me,

Someone went and took the lamp away.

I looked, around, but a lousy can was all I found." If you know about smoking pot, then you know that a can is the most common thing used to improvise a pipe. And a lamp was one of the most commonly used things to make a bong back in the 60-70's. This song is about getting high on weed.

I think.....

[ZOMGWTFBBQAH]

@CynicPhilosopher the lamps clearly a bong and the candle is obviously for a pipe

[AroundSun]
