The Osmonds singing Crazy Horses at a UK concert in 1973

The Osmonds
Crazy Horses
Album - Crazy Horses 1972

There's a message floatin' in the air
Crazy horses ridin' everywhere
It's a warning, it's in every tongue
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run

What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I

Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses

Never stop and they never die.
They just keep on puffin' how they multiply.
Crazy horses, will they never halt?
If they keep on movin' then it's all our fault.

What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I

So take a good look around
See what they've done
What they've done, they've done
They've done, they've done

They've done, they've done
They've done

Crazy horses

Is that Merrill on the drums, or a different person taking those lines of the second lead?

[lynjef7]

@jwmellott yep that's our gorgeous Merrill.

When I think of all the mania and the fans going wild in the audience (fainting, etc.), it makes me realize that we drove our parents crazy at these concerts of The Osmonds.  When they came to Canada (where I'm from), my Mother sat beside me and I tried so hard to stay calm as I watched them perform onstage.

I'm sure our own Mothers went crazy and fainted when The Beatles were doing this ten years earlier! LOL. What comes around goes around. Love this song, by the way!

[lynjef7]

@PaulieDi I remember being second row from the front, right in front of Donny screaming my head off and feeling his sweat hit me in the face and almost going berserk - ah yes the good old days. We weren't as crazy as the UK fans but we let them know we loved them too lol.

@lawplanet12 Alan is probably on bass in this video. I've seen Alan play bass on another clip.

[BurnhamGirlFan]

this song so funny just listening to it:)

[alanheath3]

This song was a bit ahead of its time. When it came out the eldest one (whose name I cannot remember) explained on TOTP that it was anti pollution. I only just realised what horses the song is referring to.

While Merrill usually played the bass he could play the drums as well as several other instruments. Here, it is Alan on the bass. All of the brothers could play a number of instruments.

[Kohntarkosz]

Interesting that in this clip Merrill is playing drums, because the clips I've seen he's playing bass (assuming that's him singing the prechorus in the other versions too).

[lawplanet12]

WELL CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHO IS THAT ON BASS BECAUSE MERRILL USUALLY PLAYS BASS THOUGH HE IS ON DRUMS IN THIS CLIP WHILE JAY IS USUALLY THE DRUMMER ?

[theblueeyedgirl96]

my dad told me about this song now i cant stop listening to it haha

x x x

[jwmellott]

@lynjef7 Thanks--- he wasn't usually a drimmer was he?

[luvmykai]

Wow that was powerful stuff, even after all these years
