Wizzard - See My Baby Jive

[Andrewsuber]

amazing song... amazing costumes. This is probably the height of Western culture.

[manxman069]

Abolutely great.. Complete nutcases ....one of my favourite groups in the 70's. Just found this video.....made my day.....they just got on with it....none of this X factor rubbish. Followers of current rock groups don't know what they missed .

[guardianofhell]

glam rock bands would never have made it on any of todays trash shows like x factor they are too good for those shows

[pauly11961]

Loved it then, love it now!



[tnucasisusej]

loooks like a fucking old tramp

[MrHaggis64]

@tnucasisusej The first half of the 70's was when Glamrock ruled,the more outrageous the image the better was the way things were back then.David Bowie,Marc Bolan & T-Rex and The Sweet were all part of it too.

[LOVETHISBAND52]

@tnucasisusej hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha

[alanbstard4]

Roy is brilliant. Talented bloke

[goulburnalbion]

@alanbstard4 Roy Wood was a great talent, that's why he was arseholed from ELO...........Apart from the fact that he's Scottish!

[garvess]

This is an example of how rock stars try to see how ridiculous they would have to look to not get laid.

[tel030]

great song...crap at miming

[SuperGov07]

@tel030 If he is miming I don't understand why. When he supported the Mighty Quo a few weeks ago he certainly wasn't miming and he sounded awesome.

[robinturns]

is that Bill Oddie playing sax?

[ROBKOOKA]

@robinturns

sure looks like bill, can anybody confirm or not

[lounoiry]

i heard this song on the radio..n i do not expect this..lol

[lebleufleur]

lovely

[gabocosmico]

HAGRID !!!

[skintrade]

wow have a shave... he looks like Charlie Veich on Steroids

[merlimax]

This song was released in April so why does it remind me of Christmas ?

[marksoutof10]

@merlimax Probably because of its similarity to another Wizzard track - 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day'.

[58Vulcan]

Great stuff-got the 45 somewhere

[slaxwell55]

Every so often I hear this song in my head and I see a beautiful girl/woman I haven't met yet...I wonder who she is..?

[Jinx1337]

Oh look, if it isn't Charles Manson!

Seriously tho, as awesome as this song really is - the guy bears an uncanny resemblance.

[MbootwoKcoonie]

His Parents must of been so Proud of him LOL 

[michelle88960]

i adore this song and love Roy Wood. But sadly this song makes me cry. my mam died when this was number 1, and it was playing on the radio when i was told she had died. and now whenever i hear it i'm transported back to being 9years old and in total shock. it's not even a sad song is it? funny how music can affect you. i was once in a supermarket and it came on, i had to walk out.

[MbootwoKcoonie]

Roy Wood The God of the Hippy s :0) 

[divernater]

@deadskyfallin , oh dear,, i suggest you check out retarded utube for poor sods with tiny minds like yourself!!

[deadskyfallin]

@divernater oh dear? wow you truly are gay. not just for liking this gay yob music , but you come off gay in the way you type your responses. Hawk wind yes, this garbage no. Lucifer friend yes Slade no. i still wish i would of never found this lump of shit band on youtube. 

[divernater]

love this very camp, psychadelic, and glam,,,,

[OzziePete1]

Of course every band's bass guitar player wears roller skates with cricket pads and has wings!!

[MrHaggis64]

@OzziePete1 Ha-ha,but of course they did :) i love the glam rock scene in the 70's.It was a case of 'anything goes' :D

[LOVETHISBAND52]

@OzziePete1 me and my pals dressed up as this lot at school christmas show,,made a right erse oot oorselves too hahahahahaha

[OldOldOakMan]

just so fantastic to see these old vids again , Woody was and still is one of the greatest , brilliant fantastic superb wonderful splendid , this was true fun !! Just imagine if they turned up on X Factor ha ha , they just wouldn't know what hit em !! True true performing entertainment !!!!!!!

[MrHaggis64]

@OldOldOakMan The 70's were a fun time for music,loved the whole glam rock scene.X-factor would have turned Wizzard into a joke act,so i am guessing Mr Walsh would have mentored them.....and ruined them :)

[Baskerville22]

Hugely entertaining number...

[bossendenwoodconvict]

I just love the giant marmoset.

[slurpos]

Always loved this song.

[deadskyfallin]

with all due respect. this fuckin terrible

[Roberto666guitar]

so give me back my comb :P

[MrHaggis64]

@Roberto666guitar Your right,that is a very funny line,and whoever took his comb obviously kept it :D

[broadstem]

@Roberto666guitar it's probably still in there

[fatpizzaman]

He looks like Rob Zombie's dad. Excellent song! :-)

[registerme2]

I was 12 when this was released. I always thought the lyrics were "See my baby die".

Which fits quite well but much more macabre.

38 years later I've just discovered what the real lyrics are & what the song was about. :-0 Great tune.

[zotrablue]

wow. why had i only heard of this band last night??!! lol yay!!!

[MrHaggis64]

@zotrablue Now that you've heard of them there is some great tracks from Wizzard for you to check out on Youtube.Hope you enjoy them :)

[Adrianfagu]

Musikalisch herausragend im Gegensetz zu den zeitgenössischen Bands

[UCSanPano]

Roy Wood was the Lady Gaga of Phil Spector Wall of Sound tribute acts.

I suppose to continue the category of silly simile, then late period John Lennon was the Bob Dylan of Phil Spector Wall of Sound tribute acts, and Brian Wilson was the Syd Barrett... etc.

Tracy Ullman was the Matt Greoning, Amy Winehouse was the Mama Cass, (Too Soon?) Actually Mama Cass was the Mama Cass, considering she did a pretty good Phil Spector herself! (eg. Monday Monday, This is Dedicated to the one I love etc.)

[dinarathirty]

One of the greatest songs ever. The glam rock days turned out some amazing tunes that sound fantastic even now. But this one is a real diamond. Roy Wood knew how to create stuff.

[MrHaggis64]

@dinarathirty Agreed,'Wizzard' could easily describe Roy's musical prowess :)

[Applelime5]

when my nanny was pregnant everytime this song came on my mum kicked in my Nans tummy :L LOL!

[supersando78]

its just a top song,i love it

[MrHaggis64]

@supersando78 The different layers of sound in this track are brilliant.Roy may have been inspired by the Phil Spector 'wall of sound' from the 60's

[666IntoTheAbyss666]

Hagrids midlife crisis?

[vegbloke]

This was a summer hit.

[gibsosgerbil]

Was This performed By The Move In Late 1969?

[Baskerville22]

THAT's what pop music should be about.

[MrHaggis64]

@Baskerville22 The good old days,loved 70's music :)

[time4sleeping]

Can you believe we did ballroom dancing to this song?? See my baby jive = 1,2,3 kick ...try it.

[MrRs1957]

super song.....

[gypsyroadhog]

Love It

[lightlittlebrownboy]

SEEE  MY BABY JIIIIIIIIVE jesus christ so repetitive

[kennnmoran]

Roy is/was a fucking hoot , get turned on, on your own and stand up doing that!

[MrThock1]

Wow I just loved glamrock Glamrock rock on

[TheNee65]

Hey valeymac you are not the only one feelin' it....Love him!!! Aussie Fan

[CionnaithMacRitchie]

Well, I'm glad he had a hit in the UK...that saved us from being exposed to this stupidity...

[valeymac]

I dont care i have a hairy man perversion lol

[valeymac]

[MrHaggis64]

@valeymac Ha-ha,i'm guessing that the answer to that would be......YES!

[aitibi62]

@valeymac

.... no, you're NOT the only person... ; )) (Ha-ha, I'm dreadfully sorry MrHaggis64 : ))

[aitibi62]

@valeymac

[TheNee65]

@valeymac nup he certainly does it for me!!!!

[SADL00KINM00N]

Thanks for the post! :)

[MrHaggis64]

@SADL00KINM00N Thanks Elin,i am not sure if it's an old promo video or a tv show...maybe somebody will be able to tell me :)

[2Shaymcn]

One of Roy's best - just seen a old doc about him and Jeff lynne from the early ELO days

[MrHaggis64]

@2Shaymcn Was that on BBC4 Shay? i missed it,but i know they show lots of music programmes.

[spacepatrolman]

@2Shaymcn those sax players are smokin when elo first started getting hits roy didnt want to go on stage first because the group was his idea and jeff didnt want to go on first cause he was singing the hits it was an uncomforatable situation so roy left

[Mrroydoncrossing]

Another one I love!!

[MrHaggis64]

@Mrroydoncrossing Angel Fingers will be up soon too Bill :)
