Mott theHoople so many songs from our days growing up bring tears to my eyes. It’s depressing to look back, how it was, how we were, but the music, wow, how great was the music. It’s all that’s left of this era, memories but great memories.

My mum would play this LP “Take it Greasy” for me as a little kid in the late 80s/early 90s. I’ve since bought it on CD, then ripped it to MP3 when cars stopped having CD players. I’m nearly 37 now and still love the heck out of that record!
1976 St.Michael's primary school Lane Cove - Miss Manzie was the best teacher - even better when as 9yr olds we found out she was Jim Manzies sister! We were heart broken when she became MRS O'Donoghue. One day she got Jim to comne to the school - WILD!
I will never forget when this came out & I was a teenager in Australia already in love with the music of 'Ol 55! I know all the words & will never forget it.
I'm listening to it in 2022 so cool to listen to great song with great harmonies bring back the seventies and eighties when music was music not like the crap of today that they call music I feel like the teenagers of today missed out on the simple complete life that we had disco's drive in movies and the cinemas it was like heaven to us and I absolutely loved it love Anthony Fed ex lol
Instant nostalgia when it was first released, still just as good today. Had the great good pleasure of meeting Frankie J. Holden a couple of times, an absolute gentleman, no airs, no graces, though at the time he had his own TV show he was still just a regular bloke and I admired the heck out of him.
I want to be at the drive in diner, where they bring you your food on roller skates, eating a cheeseburger, fries, and a cherry coke with this song playing.
💛💜🕺🏼🥳 Wilbur Wilde, Frankie J Holden Molly running Countdown so young. Great music, cool, laid back then. these great Aussie musicians. Gees there’d be some bloody funny stories from these guys working their buts out on the road to make a buck $ or $$
Went to a sox hop with them playing in Chatswood Sydney. My boyfriend spent the previous yea r doing up a classic Humber Snipe & out we popped for the HOP!
Back in day as teenagers local radio stations had request and dedication lines,where we could call in request a popular song, dedicate a love song for your steady, my girlfriend would dedicate to me"For your precious love" every now and then Wolfman Jack would be a special DJ guest.
In a huge fan of the seventies and eighties this a great song from a great band of the seventies it was a much simpler life disco's drive in theatres cinemas on a Saturday night the teenagers of today missed out on a great way of living and hoping looking to the future of what was going to happen next the teenagers of today were born into everything that that transpired in that period and don't really appreciate what we didn't have a great way of living and making our on fun teenagers get to bored a word that does not compute with me love Anthony Fed ex lol
I know this song is in some ways a compilation about so many songs back then I just cant remember which ones, any ideas,,, I know its doo wop but some of these chord sequences were used over more than once. keep on searching I guess.
I really enjoyed my high school years but I really wonder about this "Daydream Junior High School" it sounds amazing, perhaps its not too late to request a transfer? Are they accepting new students in their 60s?
how many people out there remember when this was new and shed a quiet little tear?

Wish i had my youth back
I was looking for an echo back then, still am. Guess that's why it's an echo....almost found.
This was one of the favourite songs of my friend Weasel. He passed away sadly, at age 18 in 1979. Beautiful but haunting memories.

I loved these guys. Awesome sound.
Brilliant, Old Skool 50s Doo Wop, real music
Beautifully sung ♥️
Still love this song, I love singing, used to sing this one a lot as a teen. I try to get other people familiar with it too.
Rock pile and Frankie. Two fine singers in the one band. This was one of my favourites to play on the acoustic guitar, and not too hard either.
my dad played all his records on the weekend , This was one of my favorite songs on his play list
One of the greatest aussie bands
Yes 👍

Loved them in '76.
Love em now!
Me too. And I bought the album in '76
The last performance of the group was at Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL many years ago. Sadly it is now just a memory.😢
I want to be at the drive in diner, where they bring you your food on roller skates, eating a cheeseburger, fries, and a cherry coke with this song playing.
Like happy days in Arnold's or Mel's drive in in movie American graffiti love Anthony Fed ex lol

Memories loved O,l55
I have a great memory of rocking my two sons when they were babies rocking them to sleep in my arms back in the 90s.
Many school dance memories of this song playing and dancing to it. Thanks, boys! ❤️
Now we've turned into oldies but we were newies then..
Being a Gen Z makes me a newie, so don't worry. The new newies still love this song. Or the ones with an actual taste in music do xD
Love being a Gen X we had the best era in music.
Love the band's AUSTRALIA had. No one these days can sing the way
Ol' 55 sang.
Shane Springer
I used to smile at this line when this song came out . I used to think " ah well , I'm only 16 now " . Bloody hell - 63 now !!!
great version of this song
💛💜🕺🏼🥳 Wilbur Wilde, Frankie J Holden Molly running Countdown so young. Great music, cool, laid back then. these great Aussie musicians. Gees there’d be some bloody funny stories from these guys working their buts out on the road to make a buck $ or $$
I still have the 1976 "Scorcher" various artists record with song on it.
this is their best song and the best cover version in the world.
Love this song ❤️😍
An oldie but a good one I also like on the prow
one of all time fav's
Love it , rockpile was the man and frankie and band :))
I miss Australia in the 70s.
Great version !
Ahhh the brilliant 70s🙂❤️

Oh the nostalgia.......wonderful memories
This is my pops fav fav song
They don't make music like this anymore :-(
I picked up a second hand copy of "Take it greasy" the album this is on a couple of months ago! Exo! ✌🏻️👍🏻👏🏻😃🇦🇺
I still own my album from 1977
So Good!
This when music was REAL music
One of my favourites.
Legendary band song and album - Take it Greasy👍👍👍
Legends!
Could imagine Billy Joel covering this on his 1983 Innocent Man Album
An Aussie classic ❤❤❤❤.
Kenny Vance did this justice, so did the Ol 55 but Kenny is the King of Brooklyn
I saw fj Holden singing backing vocals
I always thought it was an original, but it's better than the original. This video is better than the recording.
First tenor into second tenor then into bass, back into second tenor...slide right into bass....Wow...
I love this song and would love to b able to play it on the bass. Do you know where I can find the sheet music?
This is music to my ears
Love it!
Better than the original
Especially For An Angel 👼 Cheryl Ann Innes .. Forever Remembered
Check out, Kenny Vance and his version....still keeping DooWop Alive!
Hey hey, it's Wilbur Wilde!
Ol' 76 is much older in 2020 than Ol' 55 was in 76.
Only by four years which by my age is nada
@@fionagarnier6928 I think his point was that 44 years had passed from ‘76 to 2020 and only 21 years had passed from ‘55 to ‘76.
Better than the original.
What's the original
Kenny Vance

Nice@
Was a good song
how young was Molly. Frankie J Holden yeah
But who was " some italian guy?" A great song that i sing to myself quite often.
cool
Sadly that’s not their song. But they did make it their own
Kenny Vance and the Planetones own this song! They made it a classic - best doo wop song ever - in my humble opinion!
This was music
Love Oz. You don't comply.
" when molly had " hair !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
Yes prowlin with the boys on a saterday night.
Rockpile playing a f*cking nylon string!!!
I know this song is in some ways a compilation about so many songs back then I just cant remember which ones, any ideas,,, I know its doo wop but some of these chord sequences were used over more than once. keep on searching I guess.
I know it sounds similar to earth angel
I really enjoyed my high school years but I really wonder about this "Daydream Junior High School" it sounds amazing, perhaps its not too late to request a transfer? Are they accepting new students in their 60s?
Looking for an echo
