This could be from a James Bond movie; I can't understand why bopar1856's dad was like that.

LOVE this song-takes me back to my early teens...had to sneak to listen to this music...my Dad was very hard-nosed,and this was some of that "#%&*#$!!!LONG-HAIRED HIPPIE music."......anyone remember that part of the 70's....???Despite my Dad's butthole attitude,I still listened to Steppenwolf a LOT,and they're still one of my favorite groups....thanks for the post!!

I wish I was a DJ just so I could play this at 3 in the morning and scare the HELL out of somebody who's half asleep and not expecting this. Listeners used to nice, safe, nonthreatening corp rock need to get a shock every now and then. Music is NOT background noise. If you got a rock station on, ROCK, dammit!

@bopar1856 For a minute there I thought I had written this and forgotten about writing it! My dad was the same, he actually broke my Jimi Hendrix album over his knee. It was my fault, I was playing it on his Hi-Fi and I had cranked it really loud, so when he turned it on ... well, you get the picture. I love Steppenwolf, always have and always will. I particularly love this track. None of the grown ups could complain about the lyrics on this one!!

@outlawcountryman Its honestly tough to call the old folks out on their belief system... I mean the shit those old birds went through in WW1 & WW2 whether they were kids losing their parents, soldiers on the front line at Normandy, or whatever it is that shaped the "hard ass mentality" Now my Grandpa Korean war vet used to beat the old man for smoking n shit.. hehe fortunately the pops isn't like that too me :) I do honestly feel bad for the old heads, esp over the weed part

Anyone listening to this song should look up the eargesplitten loudenboomer.

@MrKirkenstein The first half is that yo dont understand what im saying now, the second half is neither do you know what an "earschplittenloudenboomer" is. I'm Norwegian and have never learned German, still I understand it directly. Germanic language, like English.

[MrKirkenstein]

what's the translation in the intro ?

I was 11, I'd play this in my basement. My dad was going to throw away our stereo. It was a huge...with a TV in it, a stereo turntable, and giant speaker. He bought it from Sears back in 1960. The speaker would woof and crack when turned up. For this song, (when nobody was in the house) at the giant 'boom' at the end, I'd bury the volume knob to 10. The after rumbles of the initial ""crash"" completely blew the speaker! I loved the after-rumble. Max bass. Steppenwolf blew-up my Dad's stereo, LOL

I remember listening to this song at my best friend's house. My step father was always telling me to turn that damn jungle music down. Randy's parents seemed a little "cooler" to me.
