The Strollers - Silly Jokes

Those good old days...

[7282lucas]

I am a Singaporean n indeed very very happy able to see and hear my favourite Malaysian band The Strollers over youtube. I saw them playing at a club in Ampang if my memory is correct way back to the late 60's. I love all their songs that bring back fond n wonderful memories. I am keeping a compilation of their songs including Frankie Cheah too (fyi 1957GANDHI). Your music lives on not only in Malaysia but here in Singapore too. Loves you!!

[keithyoong]

[skuhan]

Good news for you fans out there. Just saw this band perform at ol skool bistro in jalan gasing yesterday. They sing this song every Thursdays there and moany more beautiful songs with great guitar.  Check them out. Most or almost all are still the original members.

[davidlaw1956]

Hi, keithyoong.........i love those songs by the Strollers......just beautiful & worth listening........good piece for relaxing.....thanx for the download

[nicky196427]

One of those Malaysian Bands back then who did good music. Very Nostalgic. I was a kid growing up then. I would put them in the same level as some of those American Bands like Three Dog Nights and Grand Funk Railroad (GFR) . Well not as heavy as GFR and stil the best in Malaysia.

[maimonarif]

I am in a nostalgic mood - so happy to hear the strollers after all these years! Can i have the mp3 version please at mapholiday@yahoo.com. Thanks dear

[1957GANDHI]

Hey, good to see The Strollers are in cyberspace. Long Live the Strollers. Btw, can any body let me know if Frankie Cheah's song is available anywhere?

[OliveroChee]

Keith, what happened to the original lead singer for the band? Jimmy Olivero? no mention at all. I remember he was the voice behind Strollers' first hit - I wanna be free or something. These are great stuff by our Malaysian musicians, I hope they all are doing well like Frankie. I know that Michale went on to make it very big in jingles but what about the rest. Thanks

[ccbloody]

1972 I was only 12 years old,The First time I heard this lovely song from Malaysian radio,It knocked me down in bed.Then one of a local band "Extrovert" covered for their performance in Narathiwas.That was my beautiful day back then.Keithyoong.KopKoon Khrup Mark-Mark (Thank you very much)

[keithyoong]

Now you are making me cry too. Memories are made of these. Thank you. Keith

[ngveantat]

haha these guys look like my dad :)

[raqhari]

Sorry for the mistakes in my previous comment...I was saying that I had been looking for these songs for a long time. I was still a student in Kuching when the band performed at Dewan Tun Abd, Razak, but I could not get to see them because of the college dorm curfew at the time.

[harismaniac]

To all those who are in the age of 40s & 50s ,i hope you all will like this fantastic song....refresah your memory

[harismaniac]

You are rite my friend ., And my best memory is during coping the lyric(,as my english is only average)i need my english teacher to help me...throu the radio set, what a memory.Not sure where is my english teacher by now.. sorrow ... me @ sarikei sarawak

[keithyoong]

And won't you beleive if I tell you that I still have the lyrics on one of my Std 6's exercise book. Yep, I copied it myself while listening to my transistor radios. Remember those things ? Ipods of our times.

[harismaniac]

i still remember back 70s when i was in sec scholl i liked this song very much and today i still love it......thou im a veteran now . thank alot to have these song available .BRAVO KEITHYOONG

[keithyoong]

Thank you, harismaniac. I didn't realise these songs by the Strollers on my channel would make such a great impact on people of our age. Those memories of our schooldays back in the 70's always leave a smile on our faces, right ? Bicycle rides to schools and plucking rambutans, I suppose.

[pdgb101548]

AH yes, I remembered Frankie Cheah's "Woman In My Life" If I'm not wrong. But nowadays, Spore & Msia artistes venturing into English songs not very bolih....hahahaha.

[marlene11nov]

Brings back beautiful memories of my growing up years ! Thanks for sharing.

[keithyoong]

marlene11nov, you're most welcome.

[pdgb101548]

I regretted giving away my vinyl collection of Strollers, WUB, O/Cherries etc to my cousins many yrs ago....argghhh!!!! They threw it away in the 90's...arrgghhhh (again) cos of the advent of CDs...!@##!!

[shootthegunner]

[genre70s]

Beautiful song, very nostalgic indeed. I've been searching for it for the past decade until I found it here. keithyoong, may I have the MP3 format of the song? My email add. is hotice62 @ gmail . com. Many thanks

[prislaJ]

Wow...

The Strollers was awesome...

i hardly believe that in fact they are malaysian band....

[nazaGREBO]

i just cant believe this is malaysian band..until i googled this band on the internet by myself.their picture makes me believe 100% they're really malaysian!!thnx for posting their songs.

[slingsongs]

ikansusu , nand k is in heaven now....sl!ng

[jiroh296]

I use to hear this song while i was in lower secondary school i.e over 30 years ago..i am glad that i can hear this song again after missing it over the last 3 decade.infact i was looking for this song for a long time..thanks to keithyoong..god bless

[keithyoong]

Thanks for the info. Too bad you may not have the album, otherwise you will find from the cover sleeve that it is in fact "Silly Jokes" and not just "Silly Joke". And about Nand Kumar's demise, probably ikansusu was referring to Nand Kumar's son who is now in the US. Please enjoy the songs like the rest of the viewers and don't use this as a platform to outsmart other's comments. This is not a forum to prove you are one smart aleck.

[derekosh]

lovely song...our band does a few of the strollers song.I actually haven't heard of them till one of my bandmates burnt me a cd of their songs 2 years ago...

[ikansusu]

the best Malaysian band in my time. Nand Kumar and Michael Magnes belting the originals as good as any foreign band. "The Strollers 2 " are currently performing in a pub in P.Jaya. They still do the originals to a raving crowd every Thursday. Last week Michael Junior perform a one off. I was informed that his dad is living in Australia and he is trying to bring him back for his 70th birthday for a final countdown show! Isnt this great news? Meanwhile Nand Kumar is staying in USA.

[Tomanpening09]

It was my late father who loved oldies actually. When I was a kid (1980 something), I have no choice but to listen to his songs. I don't understand it that time but now...it is music to my ears.

[Tomanpening09]

It was in the 90's when i first listen to this and I thought this was from the west. it's just amazing it's from malaysia. I driving to school with this song now. good one.

[keithyoong]

Tomanpening09, if you want more songs by the Strollers to listen to on the way to school, drop your e-mail add. in my Inbox. You've got great taste in music. Btw, how old are you ?

Keith

[jefica123]

[caseynyk]

Hi Keith,

Thank God... no... no... thanks keithyoong, these songs by Strollers has been out of circulation for decades. I am totally blownaway with the discovery of your postings. Yes, I am very delighted to be able to enjoy Strollers's music all over again.

[keithyoong]

koaypatrick, I can play God if you send me your e-mail add. to my Inbox. (Sorry, no offence up there, just joking). Like many who did, they received MP3s of the complete Strollers collection. Christmas here soon, so better hurry up.

[AZModerator]

[archermae]

Sure brought back memories of my school days, which was the happiest moments of my life. Btw, I thought N. Kumar did the vocals on this song.

What are the tracks on 'Waiting is..' I would like to get hold of the cd.

Thanks for all the beautiful upload Keith.

[keithyoong]

Another kaki. Welcome mate.

"Waiting Is ...." is waiting for you. Just leave your e-mail add. in my Inbox and the MP3s will be on the way. You'll love the songs. So hurry up.

[cheLoK456]

I love malaysia pop song from 1970. 10000 PER CENT

[azramly]

Thank you for posting this song. Haven't heard this one in a long time. The old memories sure come flooding back upon hearing this song. Good songs never grow old.

[keithyoong]

If you want the songs in MP3 format, send me your e-mail address to my Inbox.

[kurniasan]

I've wrote their article on Malay Wikipedia, but sadly I hv limited information about them.

[keithyoong]

kurniasan, Very interesting. Good effort. I have drafted one for the English Wikipedia but still trying to gather more info before I post it. Good on you, mate.

[thekeyofx]

waaa this song i memorise the lyrics when i was 10 years old that time standard 4.

[polong1000]

i drink to that.

haha...

[tsdentist56]

Best heard on Sat. Morning like we did on radio in the '70s and a good drinking session on friday also helps.

[keithyoong]

Simon, at least you know what to do to sober up. Now that the price of petrol costs more than beer, why not ? Drink, Don't Drive !

Cheers mate.

Keith

[ramofu]

wow... beautiful.Thanks a lot pal!

[keithyoong]

You're welcome. Glad to have you here - another 'kaki'. Did these songs send you down memory lane ? Back when you were at school ? Most of here did that.

[spuqin]

this is ny first time listen to the strollers and it already take me high.. its sound so relax in my heart.

[keithyoong]

You've got good music taste, my young friend. Use it as a ringtone for your handphone. Thanks for subscribing.

[aditiajaya]

thanks, keith.....nice memories btw....

this was our country's muhhibah b4 those mofos fucked everything up with all the ketuanan shits.

we really were BOLEHLANDERS then....

instead of the; i speakee no engrish, man.

cheers.....

[keithyoong]

aditiajaya, if they could see things the way we do, there's still hope for this country. But with all the issues defending one race's rights, this country is going to the dumps.

The Strollers were a fine example of uniting all races and working together. The result is amazing. Everybody enjoys the fruits of labour.

Glad we're on the same frequency, mate.

Thanks

[kckklyijing]

How about a write up on them in the Wikipedia? Their achievements and what are they doing today?

[keithyoong]

Hey, that's a good idea. Will do something about this. Thanks for your contribution.

[kganes]

Yes Keith, they are on youtube too. Many local groups have just dissapeared. We must bring them back. Mike Gurchan, etc. Once I can convert some of the EP/LP to digital, I will send them to you. Keep it up..

[kganes]

Nice on Keith. I have the their 45s. There is also a Strollers CD. I was lucky to find it in MPH Mid Valley a while ago.

Try looking for it in the oldies section.

Another group to look for is The Keith Locke and the Quests.

[keithyoong]

Another 'kaki'. Welcome to this section, like you said the oldies section. Thanks. Not so sure about Keith Locke & The Quests but will google them later.

[HPlow]

Well done Keith for sharing the music

Penangite

[anhrodnee]

Thanks to you for posting The strollers. I wish you can get hold of those M'sian artistes like Frankie Cheah,Katie Chow and mike Gurchan. To you young kids out there, long long time ago M'sian artistes boleh.
