[tapperoots]

[W0BN1AR]

Holy crap, the singer looks like Jim Carrey's character in Dumb and Dumber.

[MrMarcusx5]

Love it thankyou :>)

[1033joe]

Wow, I wore out this cut from the album back in the 60s. I was a kid once. I wish there were something out there produced complete with the the Cowsills actually playing their instruments complete with harp player. At any rate I love it, thanks.

[vividwatch47]

Odd, since this song deals in psychedelia, that the clip's in B&W

[panhead58ful]

I think if it came down to it, I'd rather have my kids influenced by this kind of music instead of rap or that devil metal crap. what the hell has music evolved to anyway??

[gravedadzero1000]

todas estas rolas las conoci en radio capital 60's y 70's

[teeger327]

[DanilBolotinski]

Singer reminds me Jim Carrey with strange hair.

[RagtimeMD]

LMAO he looks like Lloyd Christmas

[TheNoisePolluter]

I think I'll watch Dumb & Dumber after this...

[journeythruthepast]

The Cowsills should've received a commission on The Patridge Family. Not only did that show steal the idea of the singing, traveling family with their mom but they even borrowed their pop psychedelia sound. It only worked well cause they had a pin-up idol in David Cassidy to center it around.

[deuxchartreux]

@journeythruthepast i think that they did get commission. nothing was stolen, they wanted shirley jones as the mother, the cowsills wanted their ACTUAL mom! not sure of all the details, but it was amicable the arrangement, as i understand it.

[keaton1895]

@deuxchartreux i do not know why they would get a commission. It would be different if they were calling themselves the cowsills.

[sierria64]

dam they were ugly

[jillydo]

Always loved this song. Just glad that when it came time to cast The Partridge Family, they chose David Cassidy....*sigh*!

[4435gordo]

At 53 & 2.49 Paul looks upset like someone was stilling singing.

[heavymetalrockstar]

got any more my generation episodes, that was great show!

[PapagenoJuan2]

And then they turned hippie :P

[MrFootfree02]

Barbara Cowsill had a very smelly vagina according to her Gynocologist (me).

[davidjtullz]

Sweet lil hippy song by a sweet lil bubblegum band

[mikeaustin1]

Barbara (the mom) had just joined the group in time to record this song (prior to that it was just the 4 eldest boys), but I don't think Susan was added until after the recording was made. Those high "happys" were sung by John (the youngest at the time on the recording). This video was probably done shortly thereafter, with Susan added for their most famous run.

This is a great, great tune.

[flamingember71]

Great song with wonderful music & voices , you have to feel good or have your spirits lifted after listening to this song , if not you are a naturally depressive .

[simivalley1908]

the singer actually looks a lot like Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber Lol

[ligreekguy]

Really? I thought this was the true story of the Cowsills, at least I was led to believe that, and no references were ever made to The Partridge Family. Hmm. Thanks for the info, however.

[ligreekguy]

You must give credit to the mother of the Cowsills. She was a widow with several children at a time when social programs were not as generous to single parent families, and decided to parlay the musical talents of herself and her family into a successful career. They actually got their start playing at college parties in the Providence, Rhode Island area, and she advanced their careers without the use of an agent. A rather brave and astute woman, and yes, their songs WERE quite good.

[howlinus]

@ligreekguy - You are confusing the fictional Partridge family with the real Cowsill family. The Cowsill family was the inspiration for the fictional Partridge family but in typical Hollywood fashion reality was adjusted to make a "better story" thus one of the brothers was turned into a 2nd sister and the mother was made a widow. None of which match reality. The band started with just the 4 eldest brothers and dad managing their mother wasn't added to the group until later.

[Khultan]

 I don't know how you got these fantastic clips but since you do, is it possible to upload Cowsill's Medley, it is the one where they feature all of them singing a different song. I think it's also, Susan's debut public performance.

[ab9957]

the rain, the park and what other things? wasn't there a cake left in the rain at the park and it was destroyed? shame on you cowsills!!

[onedollarwill]

Chris Cornell eat your heart out.

[MegaMaccaman]

[Th3GivingTr33]

[hansenma1]

I've always loved this song, it portraits the 60's so well.
