Hey thanks for the tunes. Two 60's song that were One Hit Wonder were "Harper Valley PTA" and "Spirit in the Sky" both were huge hits
He is in love with the sea (he is a sailor) and it mentions that he was an honest man and told her from the beginning that his true love is being at sea so he did not want to commit to her.
Allister Fiend thanks for that
Good explanation.
It’s not infidelity it’s the sea,he’s a sailor, he was honest!
"My lover my lady is the sea"!! He's not cheating!!
@@johnperkins4201 no hes not get it
@@johnperkins4201 are u a millennial by any chance
I think the sailor she loved , loved the sea more than her and couldn't settle down.
Yeah, that's what I get out of it... Great song!
@@jeffreywolff329 Sounds like a lonely life really. But I guess for some people, it's enough.
Same here, another great song by them is “Jimmy Loves Maryann”
Exactly
@@richardkeith7780 and a great remake of Jimmy loves Maryanne by Josie Cotton
No..it is about loyalty not infidelity. The sailors mistress is the sea. He cant be with her because of the sea.
Nah, he's got a girl in every port.
Thomas Frederick is right. He can't commit to her because of his love of the sea. It has nothing to do with a girl in every port. Listen to the lyrics.
@@MiaCaliente2675 Hes running a line on her. Hes got one just like her in every port.
@incogneto Well, people are marrying trees 'n stuff these days, ya know?
@@MiaCaliente2675 listen to the lyrics as a male.
Brandy loved the sailor and he admired her but was honest in telling her he couldn’t settle down because he belonged to the sea.
My life, my lover, my lady - is the sea.
Yes, no other woman. He just loved the sea
"My life, my lover, my lady is the sea" -- the sailor's love is for the sea which is why he can't settle down.
She loved a sailor that was in love with the sea. No infidelity and he was honest and told her that.
The love of my life, my lady is the sea. 7 yr Navy Vet, and I miss it soooooo much .
1975 to 1986 made 3 Westpac's and I miss it also, more as I get older.
I remember waiting for this song to come on the radio just so I could record it with my tape recorder. Lol
Such a shame these guys didn't go on to make more hits. They sure did get one with this song. It was very, very popular.
They had another hit.
@@rexhoyt7262 this was their only number one song.
I can never hear the name Brandy without thinking "You're a fine girl"
I remember this song well back in the 70's. A huge hit played on the radio many times a day. Brings back memories...haha
Released in 1972
"Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest is a great One hit Wonder! It's another toe tapper, Jay! A song for a "regular" play day is Chris Rea "Fool If You Think It's Over". It's a really good mellow rock/pop song. He wrote it about his little sister going through her first break up with a boy. Great job as always, Jay. Namaste.
Lovin' Spoonful ... They're one-hit wonders .... One hit right after the other ... Summer In the City, Rain on the Roof, Do You Believe In Magic?, Nashville Cats .... Did You Ever have to make Up Your Mind?, Darlin' Be Home Soon, and don't forget Welcome Back ...
😂😂😂😂😂 good one 👍
You didn’t have to be so nice, daydream
@@flash1660 ... Gordon here (get it?) I can't believe I forgot Daydream !!!
OMG you are on a roll today. These are all taking me back. I love your choices
Hey, that segues into Roll To Me by Del Amitri!
Oh man I love this song I am surprised this group didn't have more hits
Love this song! I’ve been singing it since I was about four yrs. old. Thank you ❤️😊
A local band in my area plays this song really well and one night the lead singer sat in for this song. Pretty cool!
The song isn't about infidelity, but rather the sailor's love of the sea.
This song could be one of my all time favorite songs. I just love ❤️ the heck out of it.
Check out Shocking Blue with Venus.Nr1 in USA.Dutch band.
Another nice reaction man I remember that tune well.
"Turning Japanese" and "Kung Fu Fighting"....two classic one-hit wonders.....
Agreed
One of my first favorites! Even at my young age it made me so sad.🥺
I’ve loved this song since it was first released. 💕. No this isn’t about infidelity....he’s married to the sea.
Harmonies back in the day were so epic.
Loving how your looking into the history of the song and bands before you React to them. Your are just amazing Man!!!
No infidelity. All the sailors honestly admit that their only love is the sea.
The smile on your face when they break into harmony is priceless!
Love your videos, man!
Thank you
One hit wonder: Zager & Evans: "In the Year 2525"
Great song
Powerful song. Good suggestion
One of my favorite songs! Just catchy and the rhythm..glad you enjoyed it!!
The only ones missing are Starbuck "Moonlight" and Climax "Precious & Few"!..lol. Awesome picks today Jay!
Yes, please, to both. Great suggestions.
@@kathytoy5055 Thanks!...Just listened to them again!..lol Such great songs! I just know that Jay would love those!
@@kathytoy5055 The instrumental break in this Starbuck song with the marimba was incredible! 😁

"Moonlight - feels right!"
I think my niece was named after this song, her name being Brandi Nichole. We have called her Nikki her entire life.
She's married now with 2 children. She married a man... Who calls her 'Brandi."
She's a great wife and mother.
I'm overjoyed for her.
No, my life, my love and my lady is the sea. He loved the sea more than Brandy.
Quite possibly one of my very favorite songs! I remember my parents playing this song all the time! Great childhood memories for me!!
Yes!! This song is great! When I hear this song I put it on blast! And yes his love is the sea. Awesome song!
It's not about infidelity...he's a sailor & he loves being on the sea...it's like he's married to the sea..
It's not about him being with other women...
When this song comes on I just stop what I'm doing to listen, the voice is so appealing to me!!!!
I've always loved the detailed imagery in this song.
Oh man! I still love this song! Always end up singing it everytime I hear it! Still one of my faves after all these years!
Here's few more 70s Funk bands worth checking out: Ohio Players (song: Sweet sticky thing); War ( song: slipping into darkness); Earth, Wind & Fire (song: Keep your head to the sky); Maze (song: Happy Music). Started listening to Count Basie and Cab Calloway because of infectious joy from grandmother playing her 78s records. Still have a passion for music now that I'm the grandmom. (Really love Gospel now). God bless you, young man.
Another great song from my youth. Blasting on the radio in my first car, an orange VW squareback; Tangerine was it’s name. Singing my heart out, broken-hearted. Great vocals too!
they were regulars at all the Rutgers bars in New Brunswick. This song is still on pretty much every juke box in town and gets played every night.
No. It was the sea that was his mistress. Sailor's in the past were very loyal to the sea . The sea was more important
My daughter and I danced to this at her wedding - It’s our song! Looking Glass used to hang at my Dad’s Sub Shop (“My Hero”) in New Brunswick when I was a little boy! Always my favorite song, so I would sing her to sleep to this to her every night! The “Great American Song!”
Man, you're just nailing it with the one-hit wonders today! Whenever I hear the word Wonders, it brings to mind the 1996 movie That Thing You Do. The fictional group, The Wonders, played a song called That Thing You Do that actually hit the charts in real life. I'd love to hear you cover that one sometime.
I think you mean "react to" rather than "cover", though... :-)
@@stevetournay3731 Yes, of course, although, he can try singing it if he wants to also. Then we can give our reactions, LOL
This is one of the greatest OHW of all time. So popular in 1972. Everyone would sing this song at school. Love this song. Great song to end One Hit Wonder Wednesday. What a start! Congrats JV.
This song was played over and over all day long on the radio. Chill vibe
I was a 16 year old in East St.Louis,Illinois when this came out and I played it a lot on juke boxes back then,and still love it today.Thanks for this!
75k! Congrats!
This is the greatest Earworm of all time!
Ohh My. Again... One of My All-time Favorite "One-Hit Wonder" tunes. L♥️VE the Reaction♥️ And by the way Jayvee, I usually do have to go to CZcams and play some of those good old favorites and listen to them again after listening to you play them. It's like potato chips, can't just eat one. The songs... Can't Just Listen to it one time. LoL!! Gotta go back and play it again.
This song always makes my think of high school. It was really popular during my last year or two of high school. Brings back a lot of good memories. As always, a GREAT reaction!
The sea , his passion was the sea! You have a really warm, beautiful smile by the way!
I've watched a lot of your vids over the last few days and I must say....you are my favourite reactor, you are just so real and happy your facial expressions are a joy to watch.....happily subbed to you
Always loved this song!! The singer owns a club down in Panama City Beach.
Love your channel man...watch all the time. You are a positive force and know your music!
Do Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones"
Gotta love the one hit wonders from the 70's and 80's! You could probably do a week just on those; there's so many of them!
Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes by Edison Lighthouse is another one hit wonder
I’m loving loving ONE HIT WONDERS ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Love Looking Glass 🤎 Brandy one of my favorite songs ♥️♥️♥️
Like most sailors, his first love is the sea. I love this song as it always makes me think about one of my best friends from my very early working days. He went to Rutgers and he would tell stories about parties where Looking Glass, the local band, always played. Stephen was also a sailor. I think I will call him, it’s been ages since we spoke. Thanks for Brandy, she’s a fine girl,
My Dad was a sailor, he went round the world multiple times and spent decades at sea visiting every country where there was a coast. He’d be gone for weeks at a time working in Africa as I grew up. The sea was his calling so I understand exactly what the song is about. My Dad loved his family but the sea was in his blood.
He died of lung cancer a year ago as I write this.
I really enjoy your analysis; But as much as anything, I love seeing how much joy you get from music!
I grew up in the 70s and heard this song all my life. I always felt the sailor loved her so much that he couldn't be selfish and keep her waiting on him all the time because he is a sailor and that was his commitment. It wouldn't be fair to her to make her live alone most of her life always waiting for him.
Peter Quill's mom sang along with this song on the radio in the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. I had always loved the song & glad they brought it back in the movie! The sailor's "love" wasn't another girl. The sailor's "love" was the sea!
Lots of time singing BRANDY in my youth ... great memories ! LOL
I think this song is about a sailor who travels and although he truly cares for her, he cannot commit. He is honest in letting her know that her desire for more will not be achieved. He probably has a special person in every port, and is happy with that 🧡
The sailor’s “other lady” is the SEA! He’s a sailor!
I was named after this song. When my mom was pregnant with me my grandfather told her that if she had a girl she just had to name her Brandy because it was the most beautiful name in the world. Her eyes could even steal a sailor from the sea. I was born in January of ‘73, while this was still a hit on the radio. He died before I was born, so, I am Brandy.
I’m really glad he told my parents they should name me Brandy because my nutzo mother planned on naming me “Sunday”. THANK YOU GRANDPA!!!! Lol.
It’s not about infidelity. People are what they are. He wasn’t going to lie to her and try to stay tied where he just wasn’t capable of staying. He loved her but such is life. Birds have to fly, fish have to swim, some sailors just have to sail, if they are honest with at least their self. Life is full of tragedies sometimes. Is what it is. But her heart will never stop beating for him. She’s a good woman living her life as best as she can, and living in her personal truth. Sad, huh?
Hey Jayvee, look out for Split Enz....”Message to my Girl”and “That was my Mistake”. You’ll love them. Kiwi band from the 70’s..
A couple more suggestions, both '70s: "Don't Give Up On Us" by David Soul, and "Makin' It" by David Naughton.
The lead singer’s name is Elliot Lurie. He sounds the same in 2021, there is a vid of him doing this song live in 2019.
I have loved this song since it hit! All those years ago, I was a little girl!
Had this on 45 as a young girl.....this is Yacht Rock Gold! He is a sailor and his true love is the sea. Brandy just doesn't understand.
Scarlett O'Hara Yacht Rock my new summer favorite station. Always kicks off with Brandy!
@@ZsaZsa2222 I play Yacht Rock year round! Teaching the teens at the pool to appreciate Steely Dan....kids just don't know good music!
It is so awesome 😎 ... that music is awesome and just relaxes me ... Zen
@@ZsaZsa2222 agree 100% - my happy place!
An all-time favorite...classic!
The love of a sailor is the sea and Brandi can steal a sailor from it (though in vain). I know, i was a sailor in the Canadian Navy for 20 years, and a girl in a port can be everything to a sailor. I have a suggestion to react to if you haven't yet. Jimmy Buffet and the song Margaritaville. I think you'll enjoy it.
I was 9 or 10 when this came out and it still sounds fresh and cool to this day. Dancing in the Moonlight is another one that feels the same.
As others have pointed out, this song is not about infidelity. Brandy fell in love with one of the sailors who came to the bar where she worked, but he was honest with her and told her that he was in love with the sea and could never be with her full time. I hadn't heard this song for years, but it showed up recently on a TV commercial...so I pulled it out of my collection and have been listening to it a lot lately.
There was a song in the 70’s called how do you do by a group names mouth and McNeil and for fun listen to disco duck by Rick dees
Love love love this song!!!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
He was a sailor in love with the sea. I would work the docks and love Brandy!!!
I like this boy exploring my childhood music.
Brings back so many great memories of my teenage years 🥰🥰🥰
Its just bittersweet. You can’t help who you fall in love with. I always felt good that the sailor acknowledged the love (the chain he gave her) but didn’t lead her on or give her false hopes.
In some musical circles it's been said this was THE MOST PERFECT song in rock history. I love it. Nice react J.
Check out "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson 😎
Looking Glass did have a follow-up hit called Jimmy Loves Mary Anne, although it wasn't as big a hit as Brandy and so has been somewhat forgotten over time.
Beautiful song.
One of my all time favourite songs
His love was the sea. 😪
I Grew up in the 60'2, but mostly jived on the 70's sound, ALL of it, Looking Glass had other incredible songs. What your all missing is this is a TRUE LOVE SONG, everytime I here it I dream of a girl I used to know when I did a lot of camping with a group. She was my "Brandy" although she was a year or two older, I always think of her when I hear this song. PLEASE, read lyrics to understand that Brandy's Love for her Sailor was much like the relationship between Miss Kittly and Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke. Brandy was a waitress, who served drinks, when the man that she loved and I believe this Sailor loved her, because he would always bring her gifts, but he could not settle down like Dillon. The Sailors TRUE LOVE was the Sea, but when he arrived in Brandy's Ports it was an unspoken Love affair and Brandy used to love to hear his tales of the Ocean, but alas, the Sea was the Sailors love, he couldn't give it up even though he loved Brandy so Brandy, waited, even though she knew it couldn't be, like Miss Kitty and Matt. She was told she would have made a good wife, but the man she wanted she could have, because the harboor(s) was his town and he would then sail on his true love the Sea. Brandy never gave up hope, that's why she cherished the locket and chain by her Sailor. No cheating, he just could not settle down like anyone in love with their job. But there's always a special someone, somewhere for Both............ One of the greatest lyrics. Oh, the reason why so short, they all were back then, 45's could only hold a certain amount of music, much like when the walkman came out, held enough for the CEO's love of a certain symphony :) Research a little.
Dude I live all your videos. You listen tot eh best music and just seem so happy
I loved this song.More the music than the words.Two other songs I love.Travis,Sing.The Small Faces,All or Nothing.Great stuff
Always loved this song!
I adore this song...and the band..look at all that gorgeous hair..lol...
Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 soundtrack song. Oh wow this is fabulous! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you for sharing and to James Gunn - director for bringing us these amazing 70’s classics to my ears. Just such beauty 🎶🎶
I know this song by heart, but never knew the name of the band. Thanks!
Please consider listening to The Association. I like "Cherish" & "Windy".
It's not "Wendy"? They're talking about the weather? Everyone knows it's Wendy. And we do - cherish her.
@@tenhirankei The cover of my "The Association's Greatest Hits" LP says 'Windy'.
