I still cant understand why these guys havent been appreciated as much as they should be. It's like standing on a stick of dynamite and not hearing it go off. The music world must have been tone deaf or maybe totally deaf .
i heard this song for the first time the other day, and i immediately wanted to know who was responsible for its production, so i could wish him ill, i swear to god, whoever is behind this song i hope dies slow and painfully, and this is in no way a death threat, but when it should or had happened, i will celebrate that date!!!! its kinda nice to know that they produced shit back then too, and we aren't the only ones suffering through this garbage they try to pass off as music these days......

este gran gran grupo sweet de los años 70 marco mi juventud y disfrutaba al maximo cada vez que los escuchaba, y hoy a mi actual edad aun me emocionan
@gyongy13 Igen a mai napig nagyon szeretem a SWEET-et!!!!:))) Nagyon jó hogy itt a You Tube-n Lehet őket hallani ill látni.:))) Nagyon szuper a zenéjük még a mai napig is!!!!
@ShareTheSphere OK, that's a valid opinion, but there's another side, equally valid: That the Sweet were, first and foremost, a pop VOCAL band. The music, whether early pop or later hard rock, was only a setting for those incredible four-part harmonies. The reason I like the early "nutty" stuff so much is that those great voices are easier to hear.
These songs actually make much sense, lyrically, for the time. Due to the airlines in the UK having advanced mass passenger air travel during the 60's and 70's, excursions by Britains to sunnier climes in Spain, Thailand, etc. Imagining a trip to a place nearer the equator during the damp cold winter months was beginning to become more of a reality. Which I think would have lent
i remember their 2 big hits back from the 70's, (little willy & fox on the run), i love this group, and thanx to youtube have a renewed love of this band. too bad they didn't do as well here in the U.S. as they did in europe. still, by watching the many videos on youtube, it's so sad to know that these are over 30 years ago & i wish it was now. although they did glam it up, they were more than glam. thanx for the video.
Hard to believe these are the same dudes who would later go on to crank out such powerful macho rock like "sweet fa" or "no you don't" or even "action" !! This is reverse of almost every other rock group in history who started out heavy and later sell out and begin making bubble gum material to sell records. Sweet deserve credit for this fact alone.
that's right, especially rob halford's most recent solo effort, the big difference is that judas priest were never top forty pop like sweet were in the early 1970s
Brian Connolly was theeee best front man for the GLAM Rock era, sorry to hear he passed away a coupla years ago.. I remember watching this on top of the pops.. I was about 11... they were great, Slade also another favorite :)
After writing the memory I had with this record here below...and watching this video today again....and see Brian smile all the while and enjoying himself..I miss him even more now!!! Such a shame he's gone too soon!A reunion would have been so great!
Als ich 13 jhr. war, habe ich Sweet zum ersten mal angehört. Jetzt sind Jahrzehnte vergangen und ich höre sie immer noch an. Die Gruppe ist einfach Kult. Habe sie auch schon Live gesehen und ein Autogramm bekommen
Du sprichst hier mit einem 63 jährigen. Bis zu Postfach habe ich geschafft, aber weiter nicht. Mit PN kann ich nichts anfangen, ich weiss nicht was das ist. aber bist du in ICQ?
Sweet is the sound of the 70's. You might push forward Zeppelin and Floyd, but Sweet captures both the rock and the *sigh* pop that made the 70's as sexy as they were.
I wish that music nowadays was as good as this...too many people believe that computer generated sounds are music :( In my opinion you need to now how to play and ACTUAL instruments for it to be music
i was born in the 80 but i heared this song 1986 and i still rember how i danced as a 4 yeared old child poppa joe yeah those songs were and are great
Everytime I see this I always laugh when Andy dances behind Brian. :P
Then at 0:55 when Brian looks at Andy I think he looks kind of mad at him for it lol. Like he's thinking "Hey dick! That was my spotlight moment!" Even if he was mad though, He probably didn't care cuz he just starts smiling again at 0:59. =D
ah geez .. hnorky u are full of it. "happy" pop music my butt. There was no pressure to play anything .. they played what sold. Like Paint it Black (ok so that was earlier) what about Mother by John Lennon .. Happy POP song hey. Bite me you dummy. Go look at Jo'burg today .. it looks like a bomb hit it. I'm sick of you idiots always bringing up politics where it doesn't belong. Just listed to the damn song poephol !!
Lmao! When Andy dances behind Brian!! Bahaha. I wonder if he ever noticed.
I can safely say that I no longer can pick a favorite song from Sweet. There's simply just too many to pick only one. I love them all equally so they are all my favorites I guess lol.
Cuba will be free - no matter, what Obama and his slaves thinks and do - long live the revolution! Che Guevara and Tamara Bunke - Comandante Tanja - you will be lovers for ever! The black legion will join the revolution and will NEVER forget your sacrifice!
Um...........O-kay............I agree that Cuba deserves and will be free...........but what does that have to do with the video, The Sweet or "Poppa Joe"?
Golly, you have troops? That's cool! What's your rank? I thought maybe you were mad at me because I'm American. I know we're doing many bad things, and I wish there was something I could do to help. All I can do is pray for you. I have no political power-I'm just a disabled artist/musician, who lives in a community for disabled people, and who loves The Sweet, The Archies, Mad magazine's Spy vs Spy, (Their creator was Cuban!), The Monkees, and many others. I wish you the best of luck!
Oh.......uh..........please pardon me, I know I'm just a stupid American-I hope you're not too mad at me for that-but I have a question. You mentioned Che Guevara. I know he was a revolutionary, but wasn't he from Argentina? Didn't he protest the Peron Dictatorship in the 1950's? I'm sorry for asking stupid questions. I'm glad we both agree on at least a couple of things-Sweet is the greatest and "Poppa Joe" is one of their best songs!
I have a tape that I made myself, on which I've tried to collect as many of my favorite Sweet songs as i could, even resorting to taping them directly from Youtube with a hand-held tape recorder! Now, in the US, part of our slang is when we want to express approval about something, or say that something's really great we say, "Sweet!" That's our way of saying ,"I really like that!", Well, I aptly titled my tape "Now that's Sweet!" using the expression as a pun to show how much I love Sweet!
While all of these are wonderful, wonderful songs, they represent only a small fraction of what this incredible group can do. Before I started watching The Sweet on Youtube, I had no idea they were so versitile-that is, I didn't know they had such a wide range of musical styles in their repitore, and could play all of them so well! I really wish we could have heard more of The Sweet in The US!
I wish we had more wonderful Sweet songs like this one available to us in The United States. THe Sweet only had 4 hits in the US-"Little Willy", Ballroom Blitz", "Fox on the Run", and "Love is like Oxygen". I also have "Wig Wam Bam", "Action", Teenage Rampage", "California Nights", "The 6-Teens", "Sixties Man", "Fever of Love", "Mother Earth," "Stairway to the Stars", "Blockbuster", "Lost Angels", and "The Lies in your Eyes" on "The Best of Sweet", which is available here in the US.
Poppa Joe one of the leeser known ofh sweet's songs but good all the same great to see all these great memories eh take me back to when i was 12 and brian so cuteand a great loss when he died
Im 17 and i love this band sooo much :) I wish i was born in the 70's i love evrything like this me and my put this on on a sunday while she does her ironing and me and her sing and dance to this lol :)
Great vid. It´s kind of funny, but i have never heard music classified as "Bubblegum", i were a young teen when Sweet started, so i and all others of "my generation" heard all their songs, in those days, you were out if you didn´t knew all their songs, and whatever it is/were called, i liked all these "Gum songs" they were great "partystuff". lmao while i remember a lot, which is for my ears only ;o))))
I only knows "Bubblegum" as gum witch you could/can make very big bubbles ;o))
this was their early stuff when they had the steel band behind them. this was before ballroom blittz and al the rubbish they did later. this stuf was fun.
lol i agree with Cassaraa3x3, my mum had their cd and i listened to it for ages when i was little, i'm late teens now and still adore them... esp Brian, such a gorgeous guy (r.i.p) xxx
Yes. Bubblegum was the transition between the late 60's music style into the early 70's glam rock. Sweet's songs such as this, Co-Co, Jeanie, and Slow Motion are all classified musically as "Bubblegum" music.
I still cant understand why these guys havent been appreciated as much as they should be. It's like standing on a stick of dynamite and not hearing it go off. The music world must have been tone deaf or maybe totally deaf .

THe Sweet only had 4 hits in the US-"Little Willy", Ballroom Blitz", "Fox on the Run", and "Love is like Oxygen". I also have "Wig Wam Bam", "Action", Teenage Rampage", "California Nights", "The 6-Teens", "Sixties Man", "Fever of Love", "Mother Earth," "Stairway to the Stars", "Blockbuster", "Lost Angels", and "The Lies in your Eyes" on "The Best of Sweet", which is available here in the US.

Great vid. It´s kind of funny, but i have never heard music classified as "Bubblegum", i were a young teen when Sweet started, so i and all others of "my generation" heard all their songs, in those days, you were out if you didn´t knew all their songs, and whatever it is/were called, i liked all these "Gum songs" they were great "partystuff". lmao while i remember a lot, which is for my ears only ;o))))
I only knows "Bubblegum" as gum witch you could/can make very big bubbles ;o))

what?lol hahahaha
bubblegum are you serious is that the name
feetlover18 3 years ago
Yes. Bubblegum was the transition between the late 60's music style into the early 70's glam rock. Sweet's songs such as this, Co-Co, Jeanie, and Slow Motion are all classified musically as "Bubblegum" music.

ow ok thx 4 information
first time i hear that name bubblegum hehe
feetlover18 3 years ago
Its not either "Reggae", or "Bubblegum". Poppa Joe is "Calypso". "Little Willy", and "Wig Wam Bam", could be classified as "Bubblegum"
