Born & raised in San Jose. I was 11 in 67 and I was shocked when I went to the Haight Ashbury district with my folks. 8 years later I had my own band and had turned into a freak myself. What a blast to have ridden in on the coat tails of the counter culture. I consider myself lucky to have caught a glimpse of it and to have actually graduated in 75, unscathed!
Just beautiful....god I wish I had a time machine...I turned 18 that year. We had the right ideas ...just got crushef by reality along the way. Managed to keep my hair long and the music cranked up though...I turn 72 in Nov.
In 1969, when I was seven, my sister and I wandered into a hippie music festival, at a recreational facility owned by Winthrop College known as "the farm". "The farm" was adjacent to the neighborhood I grew up in. The festival was three weeks after Woodstock on Labor Day weekend, if memory serves. The Chocolate Watchband was one of the acts. I think their girlfriends took me and my sister on the VIP backstage experience. It was quite a day in my life. I never trusted anybody with a crew-cut after that day. The Chocolate Watchband had a song called "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" from 68.
I won't take clothes that are hand-me-downs And make out a smile, though I wear a frown And I won't take it all lying down 'Cause once I get started I go to town I'm not like everybody else! No, I'm not like everybody else! I'm not like everybody else! No, I'm not like everybody else! Cos I don't want to walk through life like everybody else I don't want to live my life like everybody else I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else Cos I'm not like everybody else!

Song was repetitive rubbish vocally with a clicked instrumental track. Sounds like a Seeds or Blues Magoos reject picked up off the cutting room floor.

It will all come back !! It's the wild untamed spirit of nature coming through !!! .....all that's happening now will Be un cool to the children of tomorrow . Whether we like it or not. That's just how it is,the universe has its own rules. Peace again
Hehe that's exactly what I said. There was definitely a dark side to the Haight Ashbury Scene. Many bikers and vets were unable to integrate into the free love vibe, due to life experience, abusive upbringing and traumatic childhood events, whatever, and railed against it at every chance. The images of Hell's Angels beating back the hippie crowd at Altamont with clubs comes to mind.
Wow I guess you'd rather go to today's Street Scenes we're all is filled with homeless druggies and Tents all over and trash yeah you'd rather come back to this wouldn't you😢
Those are the years where humanity and people came together and finally realized that we're all the same equality we found out about we started talking about peace for society who are you what country are you from and what did you learn and what Street Scenes do you like
2:31 It is pretty funny that the well dressed black guy wearing a tie is sweeping the hippie trash off the sidewalk. He's doing his job. He wants to work. He's building a future for himself and his family. I respect him. Even though I'm a dirty heavily armed hippie. But I never litter.
I’m not sure if it’s just the way dudes looked like in 67 or if it really is Jim Morrison at 2:37. It’s unfair how much different the Haight is now. It was affordable for young people to live in. I’m glad they changed hippie hill to Robin Williams Hill.
So many free thinking peace loving souls back in the 60's with so much promise for the future. And yet here we are in this disgusting messed up world of greed and hate. Ps Kellermensch do a better version of this song
I'm still 'not like everybody else'. At 70 still living by myself, virtually no social life, living angst ridden gay man in a straight world. I feel sorry enough for myself, so don't request any help........have a good next world afterlife
Yeah cool cover but Kinks original is the best. The Chocolate Watchband were really cool , one can say strongly influenced by the Rolling Stones but they had some tunes which blow almost every early Stones song into the shadows ....hehehe....regarding such Stones clones remember also the great all time garage blastt off classic "Bad Woman" by The Fallen Angels ..one tune which blows almost every early Stones away ...hehehe...the singer not only copies Jagger voice one to one , moreover he also shows that he could do it better than Jagger, but such bands are almost unknown outside the notorious Sixties Garage fans community, an example for the power of commerce and advertising again ..... even if I joke a bit too this is really my opinion regarding the mentioned bands !!

Значит, ты оказался как все ...
But he had a time he was not like everybody else not like you!
A wonderful garage/punk version of the Kinks classic.
One of my favorites from The Kinks.
This song was overshadowed by their other hits.
Great cover by TCW.
HBO, you're not like everybody else.
Love the Jagger-ish vocal!
Just beautiful....god I wish I had a time machine...I turned 18 that year. We had the right ideas ...just got crushef by reality along the way. Managed to keep my hair long and the music cranked up though...I turn 72 in Nov.
Great Kinks song. And they do it so well, putting their stamp on it.
Thank you for having this channel! What a time period that I wish we could bring back. Colorful clothes, psychedelics, love, and beautiful music!

Whatever the CW covered, instantly rose to an entirely new level.
I wasnt like anybody else and still am not .this was a great band with a great cover.

From the wonderful 'The Inner Mystique' album
Very cool and love this song

Yeah.A great track that should have made it big! Lack of overall airplay didnt help.Glad we have it on the shelves.Rog.Pacific sunset Records( LA)
Song was repetitive rubbish vocally with a clicked instrumental track. Sounds like a Seeds or Blues Magoos reject picked up off the cutting room floor.
Chocolate W B fueron,y son para mi,unos clasicos del garage USA. Byrds+ sicodelia pop+ beat folk+Bob Dylan
2:30 girl rocking the pre-Goth look :)
Chocolate Watchband, Strawberry Alarm Clock some interesting band names
Vanilla Fudge
A time when I thought things were going to get better.
Well I mean, the CIA was behind all the acid flowing and had Jerry Garcia and Jimi Hendrix in on the take.
Oh, brother
That guy in the top hat is Future Manson family member, Bobby Beauseleil
No. It was another loser.
Love The Chocolate Watch Band. Wow! All those skinny 60's folks. "And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass".
Jim Morrison 3:37mins.
I won't take clothes that they hand me down

Theres one thing that I will say to you

Same
ironic that most of the people in this video became like everbody else ...
Yup! Love!
Hippie tripping.
🐸🐸🐸dig it🐸🐸
This song always complicates me.
This tune.
At 3:24 it looks like Milan Melvin in the western hat.
A song for any and all lost dogs...hope we find home.
why would you want such a thing ?
Ahh my theme song.
It will all come back !!
It's the wild untamed spirit of nature coming through !!!
.....all that's happening now will
Be un cool to the children of tomorrow .
Whether we like it or not.
That's just how it is,the universe has its own rules.
Peace again
good.
heavenlyblueorange -- possibly, you could create a video set to "Orange Skies" by Love. Thank you!
Thanks...will keep it in mind!
Merci
❤❤❤ Deluxe
These were your grandparents.. happy birthday
Great Cover; After watching The Sopranos, I'm always gonna associate this song with that show and esp. Tony Soprano!
Nice
At 0:45 it looks like Ozzy !
Does eating lunch alone in high school qualify for 'I'm not like everybody else'?
The dude on top of the car in the last seconds of the video kind of resembles Mr. Mojo risin' i.e.Jim Morrison.
Powerful song, great cover, great band! Was that the first punk? (0:13)
Hehe that's exactly what I said. There was definitely a dark side to the Haight Ashbury Scene. Many bikers and vets were unable to integrate into the free love vibe, due to life experience, abusive upbringing and traumatic childhood events, whatever, and railed against it at every chance. The images of Hell's Angels beating back the hippie crowd at Altamont with clubs comes to mind.
Wow, you couldn't pay me enough to go back to that street scene.
Wow I guess you'd rather go to today's Street Scenes we're all is filled with homeless druggies and Tents all over and trash yeah you'd rather come back to this wouldn't you😢
Those are the years where humanity and people came together and finally realized that we're all the same equality we found out about we started talking about peace for society who are you what country are you from and what did you learn and what Street Scenes do you like
@mrcomenttoe2009 the indulgences of that crowd was the precursor to today's scene you describe. They set it all in motion. YOU dig?
Where do you get the street footage? Great stuff.
CZcams
Ive heard a lot of their material including "Wild In The Streets" 1967. Ok I know where Iggy got his sound.
0:12 - First-Gen/O.G. Punk
- Best Dressed
0:16 looks like a Martin Kove from Karate Kid
2:31 It is pretty funny that the well dressed black guy wearing a tie is sweeping the hippie trash off the sidewalk. He's doing his job. He wants to work. He's building a future for himself and his family. I respect him. Even though I'm a dirty heavily armed hippie. But I never litter.

Looks like Jim Morrison sitting on the roof of the car at the end.
That's not Jim Morrison sitting on the roof of the car at the end, is it?
69' Frisco I'd say
Love the song and video! What year is the footage from?
Looks like Haight - Ashbury
Thanks! 1967
I wonder who came first? The Chocolate Watchband or The Strawberry Alarm Clock?
he was scouting for new victims....
🎸👉🐰👉❤️❤️❤️👉💌👉🎶🎶👉💡💡👉🔥🔥👉🔯🔯👉🌍🔯🔯👉🎶🎶🎶👉🎸💖🎸👉⛰️🌋😛💥😛
At these times i used ask myself whyallthese dudes was'nt in VN, instead smokkng marijuana or tasting lsd down the streets or elsewhere.
So many free thinking peace loving souls back in the 60's with so much promise for the future. And yet here we are in this disgusting messed up world of greed and hate. Ps Kellermensch do a better version of this song
yea im not
Did any of these people ever have a job in their whole life?
I'm still 'not like everybody else'. At 70 still living by myself, virtually no social life, living angst ridden gay man in a straight world. I feel sorry enough for myself, so don't request any help........have a good next world afterlife
You're thinking creates your life
For the first time kids had access to dope and lsd
You guys are all the same - but I know I'm unique, no one else like me, so line up and worship my ass! :p

In their quest to not be like everybody else, the hippie generation was just like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Everybody’s different - is that not obvious to you? ❤
Jealous that you missed this era are ya huh??????
The Kinks done it better. Much better!
Good attempt at a Jagger impersonation.....
great music but I hate dirty hippies
0:41 My spirit brother.
The apex, the height of humanity. All downhill from here.
