Completely underrated. I'm glad my parents had good taste, otherwise I wouldn't know about bands like this or Electric Light Orchestra that aren't as well known for whatever reason but have some of the best music you can find.
I remember when I was living with my sister and still in high school... She had this album in her record collection and I would put it on and play it all day while she was at work... Good times... ☮🔥
My father brought this record to me after his three-days journey in England in 1981 and I remember I loved it so much. However at that time, I didn't like Supertramp at all. A few years earlier, I had done so many nightmares due to their progressive period.
I did leave England and take a jumbo across the water at 6yrs old and lived in America. I remember staying at my Nan's in 1980 and this song was all over the media, literally felt like somebody wrote a song about my life
Oooh, did you have kippers for breakfast? I'm sure you had 'em in Texas, 'cause everyone's a millionaire! I just hope you don't hold a grudge against me for looking at your girlfriend all the time. Lord knows it wasn't easy, considering you only had the one, and she wasn't much of a girlfriend to begin with.
My older brother, just two years, he and his "high class" friends with connections introduced me to this marvelous music and still with me even though my brother is gone since 1981.❤️😪🎼🙏🌹
My father used to play supertramp on our long trips to far away beaches in my childhood . listening to supertramp now brings me so much joy and nostalgia I am in a bliss😢.
Elizabeth Mead I was 21 years old when this album came out and I had my whole life in front of me. And now I'm 63 and with my health the way it is I'm most likely on the short end. But when ever it comes my time to check out , all I can say is It's Been A Helluva Ride. I've had some really cool jobs and some that I could not wait to quit them.
[Verse 1] Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot Take a jumbo across the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do [Verse 2] Could we have kippers for breakfast Mummy dear, Mummy dear? They gotta have 'em in Texas 'Cause everyone's a millionaire I'm a winner, I'm a sinner Do you want my autograph? I'm a loser, what a joker I'm playing my jokes upon you While there's nothing better to do, hey [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Don't you look at my girlfriend (Girlfriend) She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend (Girlfriend) I never seem to get a lot (What she's got? Not a lot) Take a jumbo across the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do, hey Ba da da dum Ba da da dum Ba da da da dum [Instrumental]
Been blowing up on tiktok recently the "take a look at my girlfriend part" if only people still appreciated entire albums, and not just one snippet of one song
@@gabrielleevee I guess I just don't understand why musicians can lift entire lines, along with background music, and make some alterations while keeping 90% of the original, and make millions. It's still weird to me
One of the best recordings ever. The clarity is awesome. Ive been a tramp fan since the 70's. When i decided to upgrade my speakers, i took this cd with me. My venturis love this album
Yes, a classic album for soundckecks (as far as we talk about rock-music), but I prefered Child of Vision and Logical Song. And so were also Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms, Andreas Vollenweider's Behind the Gardens Emerson, Lake & Powell And for check of a clean deep bass I took 'Yet another movie' from Pink Floyd's album A momentary lap of reason
@@darkrider189 i was born in the wrong generation, instead of having all of the generations music unlimited for free i'd rather pay for it all and wait for it all to come out
A wonderful song writer, and the group filled in to add to the composition with EVEN MORE depth and beauty. OUTSTANDING. They made beautiful music TOGETHER.
Not a cover, rather Cupid’s Chokehold sampled this song (took a portion of it and reused it in a unique way). It would have been a cover if it had just been them singing the same song, but they mainly just reuse a section of the song. Hope this doesn’t sound uptight or anything, just wanted to share the difference 😅
@@nandi9902 Fair enough. Although I'd counter that by saying it was more of a remake than a sample, since they kept some of the lyrics. As opposed to Madonna's "Hung Up" which contained a sample of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)".
MUSIC IS RECYCLED. I heard this at work and had to look it up cause i thought the same thing. This is a Very Close Cover/Sample they used a lot of this song to their liking. Gym class heroes knew what they were doing.
I’m only 17 but I love the classics. Grandpa passed away recently and digging through his old record collection of a couple thousand I found some great classics. 3 unwrapped copies of some bryan adams, some Creedence Clearwater Revival, AC/DC, Charlie Daniel’s band, Richie Valens, the skyliners, the Beatles and other classics from so many different time periods But It was so cool to find this album on vinyl. Gotta love these old tunes
16 too, come right from Gym class heroes version, supertramp was one of the best bands, I overall seem to find old music, think its new until i see it on youtube and its like 20 years😂
1 of the greatest hits ever. My son was a kid who joined band small town Barnsdall school he chose this song & won 🎉🎉 nationals with this very song. #1 national got a letter from London Phil harmonics no joke 😅 saying that they wld love 2 jam with him sometime... it still hangs in what used 2 b band room, @ Barnsdall high School 🎉😅u go son u go I'm so happy 😁 I taught my kids 2 enjoy the greatest hits ever...... 😊
This was some of the very first music I ever listened to back in the early 90’s. I remember being a toddler playing with my dads stereo going thru all his cassette tapes. I would play this along with The Doors, Led Zeppelin, & many others.. I’m very thankful to my dad for having great taste in music & introducing me to this awesome music while he was at work lol.. this music is forever timeless
Supertramp is one of those bands the you never hear about, you sometimes hear it on the radio but you usually don't think much of it. But once you listen to songs like this, you'll understand how truly amazing these songs have. My Dad showed me this band and I loved it instantly, it was the song "School", I'm looking deeper and deeper at this band and the whole world needs to know this band, you can connect to these songs, you can sing to these songs, you can dance to these songs, you will never forget these songs...
It's an amazing band that when you know about it, you really wonder how their music could have fallen out of fashion so much (like many other older stuff) that people nowadays may not know about it at all. So it's funny seeing people saying it's a hidden treasure when this album sold 20 millions copies and was probably huge everywhere. Fortunately, we have so many ways to access all this old but gold music in today's age
Man this bring back memories. I was 15 and playing in a small local band. We tried to replicated this music but it was a no go. Complicated music to play. So we just smoked weed, drank a few beer and listened to this incredible music.
The 80's gave us some good headphones music. Thank's Supertramp. Your music is a part of my youth. You gave me faith in the idea that everything will all be allright. Well, so far anyhow. Peace on Earth, to you fellow humans.
In 1982 my parents told us we were moving from uk to America and we were singing this song and i was so excited . I was drawing pictures of me at the statue of liberty...but they meant Canada and I have never forgiven them.
Yeah I almost forgot about that too. It is strange we can put aside such greatness for years. But on the flip side, when you hear it again it sure all does come back.
I KNEW I wasn't crazy. I SWORE I knew this song before Gym Class Heroes!!! I used to listen to ALL the time as a kid! I just couldn't place it and my kids have been really into that song. Now they can hear the original.
At first, I thought this was just a fazed out painting of NY... but LOVE that the longer you look, the more you see of how its breakfast products.. Total genius band
Absolutely A Masterpiece, a conglomeration of the finest musical instruments, pieced together an orgasmic hearing experience, topped with delicious vocals harmonizing like the sounds of heaven, soft enough for the tenderhearted but heavy enough for the hard rockers! Such emotional power touches deep into the listeners soul, nobody tops this band!
My dad back in 79 used to be 13.. This was his first ever record bought; he stealed at his father something like 20.000 lire the value of italy at that time (like 10€ nowadays) for buy this record. Well, he (my father) have seen "all the planets of this universe" after my grandfather known that, but it was absolutely worth it!
I was 11 when this came out. At that time I was on a quest to spend every dollar I earned on every single Moody Blues album made up to that point. This album was always staring at me in the record store taunting me.
11 meditating, dreaming on the Moody Blues? I bet you're an alright soul. Supertramp was cool but lost their morals when they had too many breakfasts in America. Ha!
Like a lot of great songs there is more to this than meets the eye. Beneath the jaunty orchestral score is the tale of a man who lusts for a glamorous life in America, before finally coming to look again at what he has at home and coming to value it more than he did. It is about growing up. Have you done that yet?
Christ, I saw the album cover when it came out first. I twigged that the cups, plates and cutlery were supposed to form the New York skyline, but only noticed now that the waitress is supposed to be the Statue of Liberty!
@@EllaJay Hmm, seems like a chorus to me. Who cares? Duh. But please, explain what a chorus is, and how this song doesn't have one. The repetitive part between the verses?
I was in Mexico City from a far poor village and a guy I work with had this album. I was 16 and dream to go to USA I m here for 34 years already it’s been a dream and still are
Nobody is mentioning this, but that album cover is the GREATEST
I fully concur. I love album cover art.
The album cover is AWSOME
Pre 911, RIP
I just realised they are looking out of a plane window in the cover uh oh
( insert something about this cover being a commentary on consumerism/capitalism)
Simply one of the greatest albums ever recorded. From the opening track to the last there is not a throwaway song on this entire album
Completely underrated. I'm glad my parents had good taste, otherwise I wouldn't know about bands like this or Electric Light Orchestra that aren't as well known for whatever reason but have some of the best music you can find.
I love this album...check out the possible connection to the 9/11 attacks...im sure it's just coincidence but makes for a good campfire story....

Never heard the album, will download it tomorrow, thanks for the heads up.
The album cover design is brilliant
9-11
I just knew someone would comment about that XD
When I bought the CD back when I was younger, I didn't pay attention to the cover, nor did I understand the reference. Years later, I got it.
From the vantage point, the pilot is in the process of banking toward New York (with the Twin Towers clearly in view of starboard).
Your Bloody Well Right.
I remember when I was living with my sister and still in high school... She had this album in her record collection and I would put it on and play it all day while she was at work... Good times... ☮🔥
My older sister owned this LP, and I listened to it for the entire summer
Le gastabas los discos a tu hermana. 😂😂
Good memories
Thank you for the thoughts!
My father brought this record to me after his three-days journey in England in 1981 and I remember I loved it so much. However at that time, I didn't like Supertramp at all. A few years earlier, I had done so many nightmares due to their progressive period.
How often do you get to hear a saxophone and tuba in the same song these days...Love this! Definitely a hidden treasure for sure!
And clarinet!
Its not even hidden this album sold millions of copies
school band
There's no saxophone. And you missed the trombone - very, very few pop songs with trombone on. Try Claude someone's "Exil"
Sgt Pepper?
I did leave England and take a jumbo across the water at 6yrs old and lived in America. I remember staying at my Nan's in 1980 and this song was all over the media, literally felt like somebody wrote a song about my life
that’s such a beautiful feeling, I feel you
You didn’t seem to get a lot from your girlfriend at age 6? Shoot at 6 that’s when you are at the height of player status! 😂😂🥂🍾
Oooh, did you have kippers for breakfast? I'm sure you had 'em in Texas, 'cause everyone's a millionaire! I just hope you don't hold a grudge against me for looking at your girlfriend all the time. Lord knows it wasn't easy, considering you only had the one, and she wasn't much of a girlfriend to begin with.

So sorry for your loss! Hold tight to your memories.💞
Bless him
My four brothers had like every record in the 70's
So sorry for your loss!
Rest In Peace. I’m sorry. :(
They should be in the hall of fame.
Just realized this song has no chorus, just verses. Still sounds awesome after all these years.
My father used to play supertramp on our long trips to far away beaches in my childhood .
listening to supertramp now brings me so much joy and nostalgia I am in a bliss😢.
When y'all were driving back home, did he play "Long Way Home"? 👀
Few records have the ability to take me back to 1979 with such acute surgical accuracy like this one...

Not much of a girlfriend

Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California

Could we have kippers for breakfast

They gotta have 'em in Texas

I love the clarinet. It gives it a little twist.

Bought this 8 track since 1979 and still have it. Have listened to it over 10000 times, I am sure.
Can’t believe the 8-track survived that many plays - nothing wrong with analog !
Having a breakfast in Santos, listening to this Nice song... Wonderful, fantástic music.
Supertramp always in my heart!!!
Love this song!💕
Memória afetiva ou seja o que for. Marcou minha adolescencia; minha formação de personalidade. ótima banda; letras efetivas que tocam a alma.
Supertramp has been in my life forever
Man, I must've listened to this album a hundred times as a kid.
