GRAZING IN THE GRASS/FRIENDS OF DISTINCTION

[darkbluberrymuffin]

God I love this song! Makes me dance every time lol

[diaperdawg]

i was reminded of this tune while watching Will Farrell jumping into the pool in "Anchorman," because it is playing in the background!

[diaperdawg]

comments by young people are so cute... i wish we could all go back in time together!

[RImusclebear1]

Did "Woflman Jack" pass away?

[climax522]

I can dig it .....

[Loveesuckaa]

Carlsbad

[Loveesuckaa]

croozin Carlsba Califas beach livin and enjoyin what life is

[Juggafreeze2]

Born in the 1992.... Wish I could go back in time to the 60's. Sounds pretty fun. Full of colour.... music... or maybe it's just Austin Powers playing in my head...

Anywho, 60's sound great.

[bongojim420]

YES! I can dig it! Thanks!

[cjlaw100]

forget to take caps off buddy?

[RogersHomeSales]

reminded me of some of the best days in Long Branch NJ at the beach! Loved Grazin in the grass too.

[RogersHomeSales]

i dug it !

[CaptinGummyBear]

Trololololololo

[u000drl]

this song closed out the last summer of the sixties. the music was never the same.

[theezonu]

Barbeque n concerts as a kid at McGrather park! N coming across county from Alabama to California.!

[blackjohnnyquest]

This song also holds a special place in my heart. My grandmother would kill me with this song. R.I.P grandma I love you

[onemeanscorpio]

This song holds a special meaning in my heart. Me and my cousin use to jump double-dutch to this song back in the day. Rest in peace Brenda.

[curtisjones400]

@onemeanscorpio This song brings back so many good memories -we had so much fun back then i was in 8th grade when this song came out-broke as hell but we still had fun

[onemeanscorpio]

@curtisjones400 I know that's right! Life was fun. Back then-we never heard of drive-by

shootings or car-jackings and all these "modern crimes" that occur today. When this song came out I was in jr.high school also. We always had a radio outside and we played games and jumped rope with the music until the street lights came on. Heehee!

Too bad kids can't do that today. And like you said "broke as hell but having fun"!!!

[chrisleggz1084]

I remember hearing this song play in a burger king commercial way back when I was a kid. I never forgot it. And I still like this song.

[MrRgray1987]

This song reminds me of I'm gone get you sucka when Isaac Hayes was singing it in the car. Lol

[ladygil1]

I loved this song growing up as a kid!!!

[jturn365401]

I remember being with my family at Kensington Park just west of Detroit Mi, 4 of July 1970

[coolcalify]

So Real"

[MrToaster1231]

"ladies and gentlemen! stop what you are doing and listen...cannonball!"

[Fersomling]

I always listen to this song immediately after Mary Hopkin's Good-Bye, because I was recording 77WABC New York on Memorial Day, 1969 on my reel-to-reel Crowncorder and still have it to this day. The sound is really good yet, although I have long since made recordings thereof onto CDs for posterity.

All hail the Friends of Distinction and their Grass Grazin'!

[jordanmm1984]

I play this song when I'm trimming my mustasche! =)

[shop4sue]

I use to jam of this in the 60's...I know I getting up there....but we had a blast and

there will never be another time again....we didn't know how blessed we were...Cuz "We was just grazin int grass...."Can You Dig It"

[OGPuffDaddy]

Great cannabis tune!

[allieeee692]

this song is AMAZING

[RandiSierra]

@allieeee692

I can dig it

He can dig it

She can dig it

We can dig it

They can dig it

You can dig it!

[differentandalike]

YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

[stationranger]

Love the song but I was never into the 60's drugged up, filthy dirty hippie thing. I got my groove on in the 70's.

[tazman9779]

Warm sunny Sunday afternoon driving with your lady or your friends enjoying this music. The groove is just so so sweet. The memories and feelings this song gives me are endless I am so happy I lived through that era of the greatest music ever. Let us never forget my friends Live it Love it Feel it wow where has life gone :).

[davesuiter77]

When I die, let it be known that I lived during the creation of the greatest music of all time.

[nikofazz]

Takes me back to better carefree days til I ended up in Nam. But I still dug it.

[harponercam]

I was a freshman and had to sing "rock it to me sock it tome" and "I can dig it he can dig it she can dig it we can dig it" over and over until I could!

[curtisjones400]

@harponercam i remember this song i was in 7th grade- when this song came out-wow i wonder if people still say "Can You Dig It"-we had good times back then

[yumpKayTee]

Irie. Mom and Dad puttin' a penny on the needle and that arm over to the side to make it play OVER AND OVER all night. CAN YOU DIGGG IT BAAABAAAY??? Gee

[Prostylefilms]

Watts festival... the 60's. I was a child, but I remember this song well.

[pdddddp1]

rockittomesockittomerockittome­sockittomerockittomesockottome­rockittosockittome.......i can dig it.....what a wonderful tune.

[dennisleecluckey]

wonderful memories ya ya

[KARENNAMC68]

Even though I was born at the end of the 60s (1968), I love the 60s music.

[MsKath1eena]

@KARENNAMC68 You were listenin' to it, boppin' around to it, diggin' it, all cleverly disguised as a bump--you were there...;)

[TTigerLilyx]

I get tickled over how much 70's slang is in this. I can dig it, lol!

[PitsDigital]

if you're ever feeling in a rut, this song is so positive it not only takes you back to more wonderful times, but lifts my spirit and keeps that smile on the inside burning high... my favorite group is the The Jacksons, but Friends of Distinction have earned the top shelf "good feeling" song hands down....

[oldiesmusic76]

1969 was sooooooo groovy, Far-out man, can we dig it???

[kijarochja]

i can dig it 2!!!!!

[56adfun]

I can dig-it-it she can dig- it-it they can dig it-it, whooo!

[jetstreamguy]

In what seems like another life, I worked at one of the largest, most popular radio stations in North America .... "The Big 8, CKLW" Windsor/Detroit .... few songs came out of a station jingle better and more powerfully than the intro than the Friends of Distinction .... absolutely superb.

[smiglywilno]

9 people are deaf and dumb.

[sullivancountydays]

I love this song. As a kid, we used to see if we could get all the pronouns in on time. As an adult, its a cool way to teach your kids the five pronouns.

[Mslovelyone57]

Loving it Philadelphia good times remembering the days dancing in the streets and listening to music the good old days.

[2010metsfan]

Great music from that era! Question is: how many songs out today will be listened to 30- 40 years from now?

[Swervin309]

This song is about pot.

[TFBCountryBoy]

@Swervin309 I can dig it...

[hurryup925]

Summer of 68 i remember so well everything was great me & friends were jamming to this side just got married!!!!!

[Grunt6869]

[Garaystone]

[Gzaiire]

Blazin on the Grass

[dubs19842009]

[dubs19842009]

Ladies and Gentlemen, can I please have your attention? I have just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story! And I need all of you to stop what you're doing, and listen... CANNONBALL!!! (Cut to this song)

[jturn365401]

[bx944]

DAMM GOOD SONG MUSIC FOR THE SOUL REAL MUSIC NICE JOB GUYS . WE ARE SOUTHERN CAL.

[theyearofgreatness]

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!!! Isaac Hayes thought he was gittin it! Lol

[furious1965]

This has been one of my favorite songs since I was about 5 years old (in 1970) and I JUST (Spring 2011) realized that it's an ode to being high! I cop to being slow.. I really had no idea that this was a celebration of marijuana and not just spring.

[pojoelsie]

Yeah Man!

[LuvsNeoSoul302]

Outta Sight!!! I mean this has got to be one of the funnest and happiest sing along songs EVER!!! You can't help but smile and feel good when you hear it!!! Even though this is a little before my time, it just reminds me of summer cruising around blasting this tune and singing to the very top of your lungs!!

[my2centz]

Sock it to me!!!!

[piax00]

this is just too groovy for me :)

[pluggedin2u]

OMG! 60's vibe. Never again. You had to have lived. Damn I'm old. No regrets it was a freakin trip!

[anais43]

[mecmsacm1019]

Wasn't this just out last summer? Whats everybody talkin about??

[MissKaren1958]

@mecmsacm1019 LOL... it feels that way huh?? time flies

[curtisjones400]

@mecmsacm1019 this song came out in the late 1960's  around 1968 or 1969 i brought the record back then what you heard last summer was probably a re-mix

[pheemer]

What is the opposite of HD? But the song is a slice of heaven!!

[vop08]

Haha , Srry This Song Is Funny To Me Lol .

[budbass19]

why is there a kanye mixtape cover in this slide at the very beginning lol

[tommiexander]

This song brings back soo many good memories. It's absolutely amazing how much beautiful music we had in those days. It was endless. There was soo much talent and beautiful music until it kept your spirit alive and love in the air. There was a reason it was called the good old days.

[pojoelsie]

@tommiexander RIGHT ON!!!

[proudaddy1980]

Thanks for this cool upload manuelworker! Every time Ii listen to it it's like my spirited is lifted to a higher place..and brings me back memories of decades ago when music was different and songs always conveyed a message for everyone..Thanks again!

[Scorpiatrix]

This is the song we used to play in the football band when there hadn't been a touchdown for a while.

[pinkfloydinspace]

With grass everything is so real you can see it and feel it dude! I never had to do drugs. I get enough thrills just listening to the music and don't need to worry about doing something stupid afterwards I might regret. I also dig the jazzy insrumental version of this song also.

[fab4fan4ever64]

I CAN DIG IT !!

[DancingSpiderman]

On the planet Vulcan the lyrics are adapted somewhat:

I can grok it; he can grok it; she can grok it; if we can grok it; then you likewise can grok it.

Can you grok it, human?

The Klingon translation is not possible using English alpha characters...

[wadhamma]

Why in the world would Youtube ban the original instrumental version by hugh masekela??? does anyone have a clue, for violating their policies, it's an instrumental piece?? But this is a great version with the lyrics...KUDOS.. to both versions, mmm

[mejohnson48able]
