I'm A Stranger Here -- Five Man Electrical Band

My second video! I like this one -- the timing's nearly perfect! Anyway, this is my favourite song in the whole wide world, and I was disappointed when I couldn't find it on here. 'Course, that was a couple months ago, and I just learned someone uploaded it, but that's okay. Hope you like it!

Edit: For those who complain about my saying "video" instead of "slideshow" - seriously? It's vernacular. I'm not stupid: I know the difference between videos and slideshows, I just use "video" because I'm not wrighting a frickin' essay. Everybody on Youtube says it. Even YOUTUBE refers to them as "videos". Unless you want to e-mail the owners of Youtube, and personally comment on every video that dares to call itself a *gasp* video instead of a slideshow, you're fighting a losing battle.

Viet-Nam was in full swing. It's not any wonder the verse was dropped. We still perform this. along with Zager and Evans, "In The Year 2525". I live in North Okanagan. One weekend in June the entire main street is blocked. Local bands on every side street. Not exactly Rio or New orleans. But a blast any how.

@EtheR1959 That sounds fun! :) Good to know this song still gets played. More people need to listen to it and take its message to heart.

this is a rare version usually I hear it with 2:20-2:51 omitted. why I don't know but thanks for the full version. now to find April Wine's "you won't dance with me with the extra verse you never hear.?????

[DarwinsLilGirl]

@MegaCrowman I haven't heard that April Wine song, but on the CD I got there were both versions of this song and one had that line omitted. I preferred the version with the line in it, because the haunting way it's sung really drives the point home.

We should listen to the words - a condemnation of how humans have screwed up the world's ecology for our children and our chidren's children.

Once ecology is damaged beyond recovery - the world iis uninhabitable. THAT is the message - the world was Paradise and we human are so petty we forced Coca-Cola to concel its save the polar bear campaign because some the polar bear cans resmebled Diet Cokeand because they didn't read the label.they bought the wrong coke - let the polar bears die.

This song almost has a Parliment-Funkadelic sound to it.
