I just love that Harry wrote so many songs about everyday life and topics, it wasn't just all love songs, and yet every one of them is pure genius! Love you Harry!
I have to agree with brummiesi1 Nilsson was the fifth Beatle. Love his music. Got pretty much all his vinyl. Love this song, this album (first Nilsson Lp I bought.) Great vid.
I still find myself pulling this L.P. out of my collection and playing the whole thing on occasion. when i want to go back to a much different point in time when i bought it new in high school. Alway's loved this song and could'nt get enuff of jump into the fire either. Thanx Harry, you're music was always the greatest ,Loved It:):):):):)

Yahdah yahdah yahdah. I hate the 60s and I hate the baby boomer generation - THE MOST HIPPOCRATICAL CREATURES EVER TO EXIST IN HUMANITY!!! - I hope GM goes bankrupt and all the greedy bastards die!!! FINALLY. Maybe then my generation will finally have something. GODDAMN HIPPIE PERVERT HIPPOCRITES!!!
It does indeed. I was blown away in '72 or so when my mother got the schmilsson album and played it on our crappy stereo. Been a favorite since. Good times.
Class of 06 here and I don't think too many of my class mates were too familiar with nilsson. I grew up on him with my hippy parents. Listened to this song while I was driving the other day and this song is true I just started thinking about all the people and how they seem to act nowadays. Thanks Nilsson is just way too cool.
As a senior in high school in 1972 you cound not turn on the radio with out a Harry Nilsson song playing, Nilsson Scillsson rocked, thank you so much for thos wonderful memory.
I'm so glad someone has this song uploaded! I was raised with Nilsson, and this is always a favorite for me in traffic. :) Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Awesome artist! Deserves a lot more for his work.

Driving along at 57,000 miles an hour........ wtf Nilsson! dangerous!!!!!!
but i suppose it wouldn't have fit the rhythm of the lyrics to simply say 'driving along at 57 miles an hour'.

@brummiesi1 Well, the acoustic guitar and drums here do bring "Band on the Run" to mind.
