  • i have donny osmand hair

  • Comment removed

  • This proves they were possessed by something really bad, like cream cheese, or???

    I'm gonna run away now....VERY fast!

  • I don't know why they never gave Wayne a "real" guitar solo. He was the true Rock n Roller in the band!!

  • I'm a horsedriver and I think so: "Horses are very nice animals."

  • so what do you actually watch after this?!

  • A great rock song from the Osmond brothers . It's a long way from "puppy love" and shows just how versatile they were. A fine performance too, talent and class all the way. Fabspecmazing.

  • Die Osmonds ziehen mir immer noch die Schuhe aus !

  • These guys were mormons right?

  • @lockdandload Still are

  • Cool !

    

  • The Osmonds best track. Crazy horses, crazy outfits, crazy dance routine, Crazy mormons! ! ! Inspiration for steve vai's Bad Horsie ! Perhaps ? Check it out !!!!

  • They are soooo into this.

  • Les Osmonds au..sommet de leur art !!

    5 STARS !!!

  • OMG Outrageous, this was the coolest Osmonds song, the beginning of crazy horses is pure rock

  • Hi !

  • love it! the 70s rocked

  • Love the Osmonds but those outfits are wild. LOL! An entertainer, a cowboy, a soul train dancer and 2 pimps.

  • Osmonds best song ever by a distance, great riff, they took a lot of crap over the years but they did write some great songs:-)))))))))))

  • Marie is Pepper-Jacks finest ho!

  • This is the most badass thing I've seen in a long time...

  • You know, these guys have taken a lot of crap over the years. Mostly for being Morons, and wholesome. However they could, and did rock. Plus I see Jay doing "pop and lock" dancing way before I ever knew what it was called.

  • Some of the guitar solo was taken out, at 1:35 - but clearly there are other shots which were edited in afterwards, in addition to the concert footage.

    The Osmonds also did a song (from the same album?) which I think was called "Last Days", about how the end of the world was coming. That was actually a widespread idea in the early '70s when environmental problems were scaring everyone. I realized later that the underlying message was also supposed to be the Second Coming.

  • @geravon...dont doubt it...just prefer a different version

  • @geravon...dont doubt it...just prefer a different version

  • Some pimps playin a beasty song.

  • Who sings the first verse?

    Does this song have a meaning? It's kind of cool.

  • @jwmellott.... I think that's Jay singing the main verses. This song was actually banned in South Africa, because the powers that be thought it was a drug reference (the word "horse" was a slang there for heroin). In actuality, it's kind of a protest song about the amount of pollution that was being created by automobiles at the time. It always kind of reminds me of Foghat.

  • @jwmellott  Yeah it's about air pollution. The "Crazy Horses" in question are internal combustion engines. Comes from the Bible, "chariots pulled by many horses" Unfortunately the song was banned in other countries as being about drugs. i.e. heroin = horse

  • @jwmellott  = JAY..of ..course !!

  • Mormon Metal.

  • lmao- i bet there were 20,000 pairs of wet pantys in the audience

  • @bunnyrocks69 == like we say, in french = " la culotte à la main !!"

  • lmao classic

  • LOL

  • good song, prefer the sensation alex harvey band version to this though

  • @darrenmiffy The Osmonds wrote the song. It's about pollution.

  • @darrenmiffy The Osmonds wrote this song. It's about pollution

  • Jay getting fashion tip from Soul Train.

  • what's the instrument called that they play aftr they sing CRAZY HORSES? waaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaa

  • @PrinceAlbert01 == YAMAHA KEYBOARD

  • Is the instrument that Donny plays at the very beginning a synthesizer or a Theremin?

    And while they were a bit before my time, this was THE band to listen to in the 70s especially with my aunt who is a huge fan, lolz.

  • When the Os Bros did this on the Donnie & Marie show, it was the sheeit. I was 9 and wished I was Merrill so I could scream like that. Fuckin' rocked.

  • I'm glad that some people are finally figuring out that The Osmonds COULD ROCK!! See?!  All the people who thought they were just a silly boy band... If you'd just given them a chance, you could have been enjoying them all these years!! :-D

  • I always loved that song by them, but admittedly, in todays times, it probably couldnt be taken seriously.

  • 2011 und immer noch geil,für eine boygroup...

  • i think i've lost my damned mind but i actually like this song even though i'm not an osmond fan. somebody check my brain!!

  • Sad....

  • i'm going to sample that guitar stab - it's the shit. the rest is just shit. prehistoric Jonas wank.

  • love this song - I didn't hear about any banning by the BBC although I did hear it was banned in Africa somewhere as crazy horses was a euphemism for cocaine or something

  • Don't remember the BBC banning it for this?? Great song though!

  • This song was banned by the BBC for heroin references. Even though it's about air pollution. Go figure.

  • @GonzoGuyy Interesting! The Beatles had the same thing with "Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite", which mentions "Henry The Horse", apparently from an old circus poster and nothing whatsoever to do with drugs! The Osmonds actually came out with one of the first car pollution protest songs with this, and don't often get credit for it :)

  • @Jojoseahorse I did not know that about the Beatles, and I'm a huge Beatles fan. I'm not surprised really. So many of their songs had drug connotations that were never there to begin with. I know "Yellow Submarine" was taken to mean Nembutal. Of course every one knows the "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" story. A drawing by Julian inspired the song. Still to this day far too many think the song is about LSD. It's not.

  • As many times as I have watched this video, I still can't get over Jay in it. His voice, outfit, and those darn dance moves. 0:09 and 1:08 = Heaven.

  • Sad that mediocrity and bubblegum gets such a big reaction from people. Maybe thats why my generation got stuck with crappy mtv boy bands and whores singing about NOTHING!! Soul music, jazz, and good rock and roll have suffered thanks to bands like the osmonds lowering the bar and appealing to the lowest common denominator. It took no thought to write this kind of garbage. Yet our parents generation ate this stuff up! The 70's and 80's were when record execs found how much money they could make.

  • @onthe165 The Osmonds ruined music? We get u dont like them. You seem to be searching out their vids to say so. But how silly to blame one group on the downfall of music. Music today is crap becausel it is. At least then you had to be able to sing in tune. Now it's all autotuned to hell. They played their own instruments. What synths do they use now? Talented they were then. Today all you need is a pretty face. Its the likes of Simon Cowell who has a lot to answer for not groups from the 70s lol

  • @onthe165 Moron...You are the scum out there..Let's do some F****ing Rap ..Mother F*** this Mothe F****ing That..Yeah more of that Racial diversity...Yuck..

  • The look like a bunch of friggin' PIMPS

  • @592220 the osmonds pimin ho''s ....ROFL!!!!

  • nice to see Jimmy on the drums

  • Love this thanks so....much for posting! Osmond's can rock with Crazy Horses and the 70's was a great time to grow up.

  • My friends covered this song. I had no idea.... Type "Overloaded Crazy Horses". So weird to hear the original.

  • they cut off waynes solo

  • I have a feeling they're not actually playing in front of a live audience.

  • Wow, I forgot they dressed like pimps.

  • This is the audio from the Worldwide Live double album. I wore my copy out back in the day largely due to this song. Hold Her Tight was another GREAT rocked-out track from back then which was pretty uncharacteristic of their more wholesome stuff. Great post.

  • @Spartacus217 Welcome aboard the time machine back to the 70's LOL

  • @Spartacus217 Welcome to the time trip baqck to the 70's LOL

  • j'adore voila rien a ajouter!!!!!!

  • They were vocally at their best when harmonizing. Their rock/soul stuff was marginal (vocally) but I love these dudes!

  • @kornbelt Wrong...this shreds

  • @jaybone23 that isn't funny.

  • the best Crazy Horses vid!

  • Why did it take this white girl so long to appreciat the Osmonds. I love this number.

  • so.awesome. this makes the 70s look like a lot of fun!

  • @hobocakes THEY WERE!

  • nice behinds!!

  • This has to be their best rock song, I love it

  • OMG that scream by Merrill at 1:30 brings me to my knees - AWESOME VOICE

  • OMg.... I'm so

  • if it had been anyone else that would have been the most rediculous show ever, but Jay made it sooo super sexy!!

  • Great moves

  • crazy horses, is still an amazing song 30 years on lol love it xxx

  • Turn off the music and then watch the video....

  • lol! i think it was better that way! then u could just watch Jay be sexy! and Merrill!

  • You wanna know what, I can't get over how much fun I'm having watching this! I was 6 the first time I saw them in concert at Cobo Hall. What a memory.! My mother was terrified! lol. The costumes were outrageous and great and funny and they looked like they were having a lot of fun. Thanks for the nostalgic moment. What a different world it was for me then. I'd never in a million years let my kids go to a concert that young. Things change! (sighs)

  • 1:03 pure gold, the awesome move at 1:08 is negated by the former.

  • yeah...

  • Osmond brothers had their part of glory in France in the early 70' s. But when you look at it in 2009, it sounds rather grotesque, like a circus show.

  • UM, just about everything in the 70s looks weird today. Come to think about it, Elizabethan costumes look weird. MAYBE it is history moving along. I think history has been doing that for some time, but you might not have caught up with that yet.

  • that move jay does at 1:08 just makes me wanna fuck the shit out of him. lol he looks so hot in this video. like wow. theres something about him in this video

  • Language please...

  • I miss the chicken dance and the Aerosmith like moves Jay did in another video of this song

  • hey, the coustumes we where it was at back then.

  • these guys have nothin on the jackson 5

  • Sure they do... they are living. and they have their place in music history

  • all the comments on the costumes they wore . elvis started the trends of costumes , unless you didnt live it , youll never understand . since the osmonds and jacksons were competing , who did the osmonds all turn out to be role models and the jacksons so messed up .

  • Elvis didn't start the trend of the costumes. All the Jacksons

    weren't messed up. Yes I see all the good the Osmonds have done for the community as role models. The only one's I've seen often, but not too often are Marie and Donnie. Seems like they're pulling more charity roles than anything.

  • Yeah I remember that "groovy" time. Still, seeing them in those outfits is like putting ketchup on a banana split.  Bell bottom jeans would have been better.

  • jay is really hot is this video well fit

  • They were the best and still are! The Osmonds are great! I love this song. I have it on I tunes twice!

  • Great song, stupid costumes

  • It was the early 70s. Lotta groups did this. You can see the style on various variety shows.

    These guys started before the Jacksons but by '72, they were defintately in competition with them. The Jacksons were popular and wore groovy threads in the late 60s early 70s period. So this may be why the Osmonds wore these somewhat foppish outfits here. =)

  • this is raw awesomeness

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you, that was completely relevant for this video and totally believable from a random person on the internet.

  • Huggy Bear gets religion.

  • These guys ROCK. Soooo talented....

  • Osmonds were around way before the Jacksons...

  • Maybe so, but the Osmonds TRIED to copy their dress and

    and style from the Jacksons. Which they failed at. The Osmonds dance skills was not even in the same league as the Jacksons. Remember, the Osmonds started out singing like the old school harmonizing barbers. The Jacksons always had SOUL.

  • They didn't copy the Jacksons- its was Elvis, silly, they even said so. Their costumes were nothing like the hippie garb of the J5, which was cool. also, you obviously have never seen their dance moves to YOYO on the Flip Wilson show. Watch it and then tell me they can't dance as well as the J5 ever did. Now, Michael, no one could match.

  • Deffinatly CRAZY love it

  • okay...even after all these years...THIS SONG TOTALLY ROCKS!

    It's STILL headbanging stuff, no matter What people say!!!!

  • this is one of the very few songs they actually wrote themself........... AND ITS THEIR BEST!

    go figure

  • FEW???? They wrote many songs starting with their first album. Even with the anti-Osmond folks heads turned when people loved the song "Hold Her Tight" and then found out it was the Osbro and they wrote the song! Suprise suckers-we knew all along a good talent.

  • Can Jay be any cuter?

  • Gotta admit- they rocked Crazy Horses

  • I agree with kencoa....Mack Daddys to the max!!

  • The song was great... didnt need the outfits. Just appreciate the song.

  • The Osmonds were really like a Mormon Jackson 5. But with a little more rock in their blood here LOL

  • Pimped out Osmond s!

  • Totally Merrillicious

  • I must say I don't care for the costumes here except for Merrill's - of couse Merrill could look great wearing a monkey suit! Merrill always did look totally hot in a cowboy hat--he was starting to exude even more of the true sexuality he has til this day!

  • What a bunch of Mack Daddys.

  • LOVE THIS.....Cant beat a bit of The Osmonds in their prime !!! Everything is SOOOO 70s. From the screams of the crowds to clothes on their backs.....FANTASTIC.

    So glad a I saw it, lived it, breathed it...

    Thanks

    xxx

  • this rules!!

  • what year was this in

  • i bet on donny

  • What's up with the outfits? Were they filming an all-LDS remake of "SHAFT" or something?

    Pimpin' for the Prophet!

  • okay...I was just JAMMING in my seat while watching this awesome video! My nickname is from this song, of which Merrill himself gave me: Crazyhorselady! Loved it! thanks for posting it!

  • EGADS, Jay's outfit (and dance moves) need to go into the Osmond Hall of Fame, he never looked so good! All of the Osmonds look great in this vid, thanks a mil Muller198 for this thrill, you post the best videos of The Osmonds!

  • Thanks...:)
