[TheVx490]

lost my dad 3 weeks ago,hope it does get better.good but sad song

[StanBennet]

No depressing scenes huh? Any scene here that has the appearance of winter is depressing.

[Transjm]

NESTEA !

[nomenklaturahippie]

fantastica. Una grande perdita per il rock la sua morte. La sua voce la rende immortale

[micky849]

there are great songs and singers today, i only wished the young and middle aged boy and girls would give great heart and soul songs like this a listen,crank it up like i like to do and see,and listen to the words one time,your friend, uk writer

[BigRIJoe]

You know something? I have no idea who Luke and Lorelai are, but the scenes in this video match the lyrics to a "t".

[crazyabouthpotter]

cuteness! luke & lorelai 4ever!!

[hoofie2]

Perhaps the best ever composition from the Mann & Weil songwriting partnership. Almost perfect melodically and lyrically.

[gillwilkinsongw]

This is such an emotional song for lots of folks, it makes us realise what great music is, and Cass Elliot showed us what it is all about. God bless her, we miss her LOADS.

[hazifantazi]

We really did think it was going to get better. How wrong can you be?

[harfuch1]

I want this song be played in my funeral, because IT'S GOING TO TO GET BETTER

[ExplicitMatterProd]

Micheal in LOST tried to commit suicide while listening to this song.

[Biermann13]

@ExplicitMatterProd yup

[alandhopewell]

This song reminds me of my marriage...when it came out, near forty years ago, I knew that that was the kind of relationship I wanted.

[george2912]

this song is possibly the only song in the world which makes me emotional, fucking top tune, this is proper music

[MrCravat]

Always reminds me of my late girlfriend / soul mate..AWESOME

[levenho1]

a long time ago my first and special girl friend gave this record to me---- way back in 1969---

[rainyday44124]

Always loved this song. And am a big fan of Gilmore Girls. You really harmonized them well. Kudos...

[frasercarle]

luv this song

[TheTed27]

[writingrulz89]

[danyvent12]

Awesome.

Mrs. Cass rules.

[rem21reborn]

[danyvent12]

Yeah... Ruled.

Fucking sandwich lol

[Mikey454545able1]

@danyvent12 great song of way back when with mama cass

[fa0798]

You should listen to the Vogues rendition of this....masterful

FJA New Jersey

[StanBennet]

People are going to think that I know you and just backing up what you said. You are damn right on the mark on this! I have the Vogues album with their version on it. It is a masterpiece! I'm shocked anyone else knows about it, but shocked it never charted. Good call!

[HANSOWN]

detective strahm

[youngandforever]

i lov cass... she was one of the best voices eva! hands down!

[GU199]

I get goose bumps when I here this song. Fantastic.

[ohiodixiechick2]

MaMa Cass was so Groovvvvvvvy.

She could really dance.  Believe it or not she was much lighter on her feet than Michelle.

Just a cool time & a cool song.

RIP MaMa Cass.

[danyvent12]

Awesom n cute. I love it :D

[ShowgunAssassin]

It's from lost!!!!

On ABC

[jgarofalo100]

Yeah, when Michael tried to kill himself.

[fricker18]

@ShowgunAssassin I KNOWW it's actually real

[hayleywins]

I too, first heard this song during the opening of "Beautiful Thing" a wonderful coming of age movie. A real gem, thanks for posting!

[MultiGooser]

love this song timeless

[supsmal23]

LOST all the way

[1953db]

The America of sixties and seventies was a different country.

[StanBennet]

Different country? Different world!

[fun2lk]

the song was featured on the movie "Beautiful thing", very romantic movie..

[MissCornelia444]

Yes, and also for a drama called the same. It was also very romantic...

[kwaka903]

It's so Groovy ....

[Grangegardener]

This was my partner's and my song...we lasted for 32 years until she died.

[zrieqi58]

Oh how sad for you Grangegardener, I hope it's getting better for you with time. I was also married for 32 years but my husband ran off with a floozy 8 years ago - so to me he is dead!!!! Wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. Hope you will move on.

[phoenixx78]

@Grangegardener a really heartwarming story.. hope she is well wherever she is! wish you the best

[jjasonwrght]

@Grangegardener

What a beautiful choice. My condolences on your loss.

[ems5429]

@Grangegardener Hugs Love ..................

[judewhytebelfast]

@Grangegardener beautiful comment

[tmdp76]

@Grangegardener sorry about your loss. I'm sure you've been really happy together. Peace.

[REDDITCHROCKS]

@Grangegardener 32 years of bliss i bet. if u like this song, u have an open heart.

[DianaCMcC]

i would like to find the one she sang that said words of wisdom wont win a girls heart anymore or something like that

[stbaz]

You're thinking of "Words of Love" I believe by the Mamas & the Papas

[mackyphotographer]

This record makes you all warm and squishy inside. A real feelgood song

[mackyphotographer]

This makes you warm and squishy inside. One of the best ever feelgood records

[gpsrobert]

I'm a person who has an extensive rock n' roll era collection of music owning many thousands of CD's and vinyl records. And, this song is one of my very favorites of all time.

[Cazzandrablue]

Times were so innocent back then or am I lookiing through my rose tinted spectacles again lmao!!

[Cazzandrablue]

Thanks Puppydoug, will check out Beautiful thing, sounds right up my street, tried to reply usig reply facility and it never came out.

[Cazzandrablue]

Absolutely love this one, georgeous voice, wonderful nostalgic song, taking me right back here now lol!

[stargleamer]

I think this is my favorite Gilmore Girls video by far. Fantastic job!

[DejaVuSu]

ahhh nice!

thanks T4share

[PsychedelicPsuzie]

I agree, DejaVuSu! Thanks "T"!

[ParasiteSteve]

Yeah, the only thing I like better than Mama Cass, is Mama Cass in LOST

[wolfq]

fantastic song

[AOAWHATSUP]

LOST!!!!!! Michael Dawson's suicide song!!!

[angelsucap]

love this song

[puppydoug]

If you're a fan of Mama's music and you enjoy a (somewhat offbeat) romantic movie, check out the British film 'Beautiful Thing'. WONDERFUL...

[tinkerella007]

i saw that!! it was awesome!!!

[coolkittenwinx]

i agree!

this music feels so good after watching that movie lol

[StanBennet]

She looks like she ran into Bruce Springsteen at 2:14

[myplanet1956]

for ziggpuss xxx

[ziggpuss]

nice one xx

[dreamsedge]

Hard to believe that this gem only made it to #30 on Billboards Chart. It was certainly a much bigger hit in my area (Central Pa.). Same goes for "Make Your Own Kind Of Music". These are songs which many fondly recall, but that are snubbed by (so-called) oldies stations. Go figure....

[LITTLECYNDIELOUWHO]

You're right! BIG in central PA too, and what a voice! Coming from an era of dispair and war, these songs gave you something to feel GOOD about, made you HAPPY!

[danob86]

lovely song

[plopplop1983]

something groovy and good 'bout whatever weve got!!! magic

[David54G]

It's a Beautiful Thing

[VizionOn]

Yes it is :)...

[AbyssMcKinley]

Kommt auch an manchen Stellen der vierten Staffel vor.

[trumblewumblehumble]

Hab den auch durch die Lostwerbung^^

[NBAfreak12]

in der lost werbung war der hammer ^^xD

[NBAfreak12]

xD^^

[Johnderbob]

ich fand des Lied in der Lost werbung irgendwie besser .. aber trotzdem cool ^^

[honeytaker]

hahaha lol me too :P

hab den gehört und direkt gegoogelt ^^

[polozura]

This song is very good :)

I know it from the Lost tv spot

[b3witch3d]

Lovely:)

[Nikkor85mm]

Darn good voice, girl.

[silverminer021]

Mom had the 45.  We sang it together all the time................sweet momories.

[ronaldo3863]

classic pop

a feel good song

[PaultjeL]

love this song, it is so innocent. From a better time!

[kidderguy]

They used this years ago to advertise bus routes in the West Midlands and i have loved the song ever since.

[MissCornelia444]

It love this song!

Its also used for the act "Beautiful thing" about to homosexual boys, fits really nice to it...

[Phyte]

God knows why people are downvoting you for that. Is the general yt populace really that homophobic?

[MissCornelia444]

Yes, it is. And I didn't wanted to make people angry with this comment. I just...I'm scared when I see what happend to my comment. I just wonder...why they do this.

[MissCornelia444]

Why are you angry about that comment? What's wrong with it?!

[StanBennet]

I'm not a big fan of homosexuality, but if what you described works well with the work you mentioned, then I wouldn't thumbs down it. I would only thumbs down it based on the work itself, not my political opinion.

[funkygiraffe]

Thought I'd add another comment to make it an even hundred. I just looked up the song because I've had it stuck in my head but couldn't remember all the lyrics, but when I noticed it was a LorelaixLuke vid it made me even happier. Smiles all 'round folks!

[mrhomerbojangles]

Songs like this make the world seem a much better, happier place.....

[adamhully]

I'm sorry!

*SMASH*

Thumbs up to whoever gets the reference.

[tshalverson]

LOL, Lost.

[pon2cho]

such wonderfull memories of this

[stewdoran]

Just sent this video to an old friend I've kept in touch with. Its such an uplifting song, I'm sure she'll like it. Mama Cass had a wonderful voice, its too bad she's gone. Thanks for posting.

[paully1969]

why is the grease monkey being given a call?

[stu808]

This song has something sunny about it....love it!!

[denicefrench]

fabulous song. outstanding! i think this is the one to be my next cover!

[billabongodrum]

mama was so beautiful

[billabongodrum]

just the song for my broken arm

[Waaaaaaaaaazaaa]

Very good song

[dodgey212]

its a beautiful thing!!!

[niggerizationofusa22]

I guess there's only one way to wear a ball cap!

[SinoYank]

At the end of this show's run, when the writers began running out of ideas, they should have tried having Luke wear his cap sideways and acting with a little more dopey charm.

[SinoYank]

Speaking as a Baby Boomer, you can't imagine how grateful my generation is to see the songs and anthems of our youth become associated with images seen while staring brain-dead at the boob tube.

[gmcrum]

SinoYank has pretty much nailed it.

The Schmuck "entertainers" of today are willing to misuse any piece of music to further their crappy shows.

[GilmoreGuy101]

Gilmore Girls is actually a rather well written show, based off the 50's screwball commedies. Maybe if ya'll actually watch the show and realize that it is actually very intelligent maybe you wouldn't feel this way.

[Alojale]

I'm starting to think that maybe mama cass is the leader of Geronimo Jackson :D..Lost-addicted :D

[nudger08]

this is a great song

[philwilliam]

no this song is on lost also =]

[snookiekat11530]

this video is totally perfect. I love how you used the Christopher scenes for the parts that fit the lyrics

good job! this is one of my favorite gilmore girls videos. i always seem to come back and watch it. :]

[Bungielover117]

I like this song cause its on LOST

[nrktv]

No its not. That is "make your own kind of music" by mama cass elliot

[pinkled]

This one was in the last episode of Lost, "Meet Michael Johnson".

[imissuxo67]

you're rightZZ!

[robertocamposalmeida]

meet KEVIN johnson! he just happened to be michael haha

[pinkled]

Oops my bad haha. You're absolutely right. Lost always picks great oldies tracks, like last week's Everyday by Buddy Holly.

[AsianAmerican68]

it just started quietly and grew...

a sweet contentment deep inside...

getting better every day...

no matter how long it takes...

[gmcrum]

Let me assure you young pups out there: speaking as an old coot (60), as long as you have a pulse and a good woman, the sex just keeps getting better-

[bckm54]

This is "our song", for my honey and I. It's been our song for the 18 years we've been together, and it's still true...it's STILL getting better every day! :)

[Track607]

That's beautiful.. best of love to the both of you.

[MOSFET2288]

While I enjoy the video, I think it's the music sung by "Mama" Cass Elliot that really makes it. She's one of those performers that you couldn't wait to see what great things she has to sing. Cass Elliot was outstanding and she really powered The Mamas and The Papas to meteoric heights. She is sorely missed. "Ah, Girl..." Had to toss a little Beatle lyric in there for good measure. :)

[Swissarmy8]

Hey, it's the musique of the épisode "Meet Kevin Johnson" LOST Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OminousOracle]

I think one of the reasons they play some older classics on LOST has to deal with the "time travel" aspects. But it's really just the 60's classics that they play, or artists from the 60's...just like Patsy Cline and Petula Clark. Maybe the DHARMA INITIATIVE was founded in the 60's

[Kruglov7]

It's supposedly founded around the 70s, which explains all the retro stuff in the Swan and songs, etc.

[Kruglov7]

It's supposedly founded around the 70s, which explains all the retro stuff in the Swan and songs, etc.

[fukthecorrupt]

maybe, and probably coz a producer or someone likes mama cass, as a side note "mama cass's" "make your own kind of music" was also played when we first see desmond and later again in same ep.

[fukthecorrupt]

but what's ultra cool is that "troubled beardy jack" was listenin to nirvana, if memory serves correctly it was "serve the servants" from in utero.

also my below comment was supposed to be a reply to ominous oracle but the stupid reply feature has a bug or something, anyone else getting this problem????????

[rjeffrey743]

"scentless apprentice"

[fukthecorrupt]

jst watched it cheers.

[Hibyehibe]

This is an awsome song.... thanks for the video and song. :) It was also on Lost... which is also  awsome.... poor Michael...:(

[pajaritustristus]

I love the songs they put in the series, the ones I`ve always loved, and they don't go for the stupid up to date music, they are great, one think I love most on the series are the old fashioned and greatest ever music.

[TAZRIO8]

This is one of the many classics played on Lost. Way to go Mama!

[zigzagjoe69]

why is this song being played on Lost?

[Choekaas]

They are apparently big fans of Mama Cass Elliot. They played her song "Make your own kind of music" in three different episodes.

In the DVD commentary Damon, one of the creators have said that his mother used to hear Mama Cass Elliot while cleaning the house on sundays and cry. So that's why they use a lot of her songs on the show.

[caly5000]

and mama cass is a very very good singer and makes very very very goods songs!!!

[caly5000]

becouse it was made like in the 60s and lost has some flash backs from the 60s.

[shikamaru412]

It was played on Lost as an ironic play. It played the song while somebody attempted to kill themselves.

[johnkollor]

yea thats where i seen it on monday. Poor Michel, "The Island wont let you go yet, you still have work to do"

[Bleeeeeeeeeeegh]

Poor Michael? He killed two innocent people!!!

[johnkollor]

In all fairness he didnt mean to kill libby

[fatcontroller70]

i neva heard her live but i have most of her stuff on cd i realy love the sound and also the things she is trying to say

[crocfme]

PART OF ME DIED IN'74

[jsbach15]

To one of the best voices ever heard. BRAVO CASS!

[64dave]
