[PickeKid]

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp

And so I wished that I could stay

Before the thing could answer me

Well, someone came and took the lamp away

I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

[grant9777]

These guys fck rock !!!!

[FredDude27]

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine On a cloud of sound I drift in the night Any place it goes is right Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here Well, you don't know what we can find Why don't you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride You don't know what we can see Why don't you tell your dreams to me Fantasy will set you free Close your eyes girl Look inside girl Let the sound take you away

[edyoung44]

looks like 4 people fell off the magic carpet

[tommyheddenstomboy]

GREAT SONG TAKES ME BACK TO MY CHILD HOOD...TY FOR POSTING THIS!!!

[PenguinsRevolt18]

@CitySkin09 same here but "born to be wild" is still a pretty awesome song :)

[edyoung44]

[HistoryTours]

[ladymo97]

Contact high!

[davethejeweler]

toasted heroin o'hs for breakfast, anyone?

[XZF666]

I actually remember seeing this, god I'm really old. Nick was so stoned.

[MistyMountainsky]

Live version off the old album is much better,more of a heavey rock sound to it throughout the whole album.Check it out,its the one with the wolf on the cover.Nick St. Nicolas (bassist) must have been a bit of a fruit cake because that sure is a pretty dress he's wearing.lol

[fweekstir]

@MistyMountainsky I dont think John kay was nicks biggest fan .Heard he hated nicks whole hippy garb.

Whos cares... Steppenwolf made some killer music.

[68Forever68]

@MistyMountainsky It was more that he dressed like that to PO John Kay. I heard he once appeared at a concert Steppenwolf played dressed only in rabbit ears and a jock strap. He did this to irritate Kay.

[MistyMountainsky]

@68Forever68 He must be a bit of a bone head.Bass players are a dime a dozen.John Kay was the most talented one in the band,at least as far as song writing goes,but I must stand by my words and repeat my earlier comment.It sure is a pretty dress,LOL

[68Forever68]

@MistyMountainsky He wasn't the only one in the band that had issues.

[MistyMountainsky]

@68Forever68 Could you fill me in please?I like hearing about that sort of stuff.

[68Forever68]

@MistyMountainsky Michael Monarch quit because of disagreements with John Kay. It has been reported that Goldy McJohn was fired because of heavy drug use that led to extremely violent outbursts. A later member Kent Henry was fired for conflicting reasons- he didn't get along with Jerry Edmonton and/or his performances had declined because of erratic behavior. Lastly, the drummer Jerry Edmonton always seemed to be in good standing with the band.

What band doesn't have these types of issues?

[MistyMountainsky]

@68Forever68 Thanks for the info.I thought I once heard about Jerry Edmonton getting killed or badly hurt in a motorcycle accident.Do you know if it's true?

[68Forever68]

@MistyMountainsky Rushton Moreve the original Bass player was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1981. Jerry Edmonton died in a car accident in 1993.

[MistyMountainsky]

@68Forever68 Wow,you really now your stuff.Thanks for all the info.

[LittleMsChachi]

[Tusek420]

94% of people prefer not to spam. :-P if youre one of the pathetic 6% that spams go kill yourself :D

[215LegalizeTheGreen]

@Tusek420 10 people didnt realize this was actually a spam

[Redmann0]

In the first verse it goes, "Flies far,goes near, get the stars away from here". The second verse is "Last night I hold aladdins lamp". I still say you did a good job getting the words right though. Two thumbs up.

[68Forever68]

@Redmann0 "Flies far, goes near, TO the stars away from here"

[Redmann0]

@68Forever68 I listened to the song closer and your right, also I am deaf in one ear so for me to hear things the right way sometimes don't work, LOL.

[edwin11373]

@Redmann0 I think you are wrong about the first verse. Google the lyrics and all say exactly as written here.

[Redmann0]

@edwin11373 I just listened to the song closer and you and forever68 is right. As I said to forever68 I am deaf in one ear ,so, my hearing is only half way right, LOL.

[edwin11373]

@Redmann0 No problem:)

[Redmann0]

@Redmann0 Hey stupid you were wrong, damm Redd your right. But I was right about the second verse. Damm deaf people named Redd.

[pitatapiu]

@Tusek420 We are the 6%!!!

[bblond13]

Kay suffers from increased sensitivity to light, so he wears his trademark sunglasses. He also has congenital achromatopsia, complete colorblindness, a defect of the eyes which causes legal blindness hes not completely blind retards.

[demravager]

Was I the only one who heard this song on the Super Mario Bros. TV show?

[dickbutt321]

Sweet Fro's.

[angel19581957]

I love this song and i listend to it when i was a kid ya dont get any better than this now days. But the dude standing next to him was so wiped out on something u could tell. Dont get me wrong i still have allways loved there songs and them allso. its why i got it on my page allso

[Flatsonator]

jblaze, the correctr term wqould be nation, but lol whatever just light up a fatty and listen and let his music take you over, thats one thing humans have in common

[jblaze1375]

Alright, but why do we care he is German? Can't it be enough that he's a talented musician? Who cares what race he is...

[drumerboy1231]

Johns a beast he can play guitar even though hes blind. Hes so talented. Well then again he is German.

[CharlesFungiMuffin]

Dude, what the fuck... who gives a shit that he's german... i mean really man

[ZD1400RT]

fantastic

[xojbabyxo]

such an awesome song..thanks!!

[mrjason182]

wish id been born in the 60s

[haggisman1971]

John Kay is German to the bone. He was born in East Prussia and his father (who he never met) died during the war.

He lived in the country until the age of 13 and speaks the language every day with his wife.

Steppenwolf originate from Canada but John will always be German.

[OoooNote]

took the words out of my mouth!

[lilackine]

poetry

deep feelings

I read it more than once

PS most Americans are ignorant- I am one of them (hopefully we are learning are lessons)

[Syzygy60]

[tinasian34]

@Syzygy60

[Syzygy60]

[thekillers1293]

Hey look! A Fender Esquire at the beginning!!!

[AcousticGuitarist96]

[thekillers1293]

[Stuffinathor]

thats rock' n roll!

[chashavko]

Star Trek "First contact" XD

[zoggy1950]

John Kay looks hot as usual but what is that guy to the right wearing???

[lgNAPSTER]

It looks like he's dressed like a clown o.o

[bdhjx]

he's wearing hippie clothes. Through out history men have warn clothing like that, its just that its not socially acceptable for men to wear clothing like that in this day and age, but that doesn't mean that its fundamentally unacceptable.

[theegyptianlover]

this is not the full version but its still good cause do some lsd and sit buy ur speakers

[actonredneck1]

[easyrider020]

cool cool cool song,love it

[luvmyzoo]

cool song

[Guppypants]

I would buy the outfit the bass player is wearing. I would wear it in public too.

[777collie]

That outfit is rank bro. & I was a teen then.

You cant be real.....can you?

[Guppypants]

Considering that I am a 44 year old bald guy, I would probably look like some kind of gay rodeo clown if I were to wear that outfit now. When I was younger and leaner I would wear an outfit like that to be funny. I wish I could see it in color.

[sonicjay007]

always hits me 'hard&strong' this...~

[acdeucee]

Hey sonicjay! This one sure is a hard hitter. Looks like alot a fun doing this gig. Music was on top ,and meant everything to us growing uo on this stuff.

[Tuvadog]

Steppenwolf were great!!!! One of the best from the 60s!!! This song is great and there is one called "Your walls to high" or similar....Great!!

[glockiller]

[Hannibal5991]

great song

[DragonClaws6]

its a Canadian band, and the lead singer is born in Germany

we know.

[dergrossen]

Yep..Canucks produced some wunnerful talent..Shannon Tweed and Gordon Lightfoot to name two....

[snatchhog]

...another great Canadian band.

[dergrossen]

lead singer was born in Germany..

[johnsonbraa]

the band is still canadian ... formed in canada

[Tomaldinho9]

it doesn't matter that he was born in germany. he grew up in canada and his bandmates were canadian. you german wanna be

[dergrossen]

LOL...not a drop of German blood in my veins..all Cz H and A . Lots of people speak German in central Europe who ain't German by blood. Borders are just lines on a map. Most don't know that fact from English speaking countries.

[Tomaldinho9]

i actually did know that. its called the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They spoke a lot of different languages but the official one was German. When they broke up, German speakers were scattered all over. Don't make rash assumptions about English speaking countries. We aren't all ignorant.

[dergrossen]

Who said English speakers were ignorant? ..arrogant YES..lazy at learning other languages YES..but ignorant..well not really....NOW if we are talking culturally depraved well MAYBE. LOL

[DragonClaws6]

roflrofl

[tikalal]

Wow I've never heard this song before. It's really awesome, already worked it out on guitar. It is simple to play yet so genius to create!

[ChArLiEtheuniiicorn]

[diehard93]
