Born to be wild, is a must with Steppenwolf

Sitting here puff puff passin' and my 75 year old mother just yelled from her room, "Is that Mr. Video?" She's in there puff puff passin', too. 'nother banger, keep it up. :)

The Pusher Got Damn... I said Got Damn...The Pusher Man.

Steppenwolf rocks. Never heard a dud from these guys.

John Kay the singer escaped from communist east Berlin at the age of 12. Lucky to be alive.

The 60's where all colors in the mind , LSD scene was massive

Brother don’t try to understand 1969 unless you were there you’ll never get it. This is the band that invented the term “heavy metal”. Born to be Wild.

I love the way you fling yourself on the couch and go “yeeeh!” 😂

White rabbit by Jefferson airplane

One of the iconic bands of the sixties, "Born to be Wild" is the sixties anthem.

LSD/ACID was one of the main choice of tripping back then. Steppenwolf rocked it hard...close your eyes and trip

OH yes...this was a total acid trip song babe!

For a good time call: White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, released in '67. My mom's fave song to puff to before she passed 16 years ago 🖤

The guess who - these eyes Moody blues - nights in white satin Both should make your skin crawl

You should really check out Steppenwolf's "Don't step on the grass, Sam." It's about exactly what you think it's about.

Steppenwolf was my 1st big rock concert. John Kay was so slinky in his black leather pants. Check out "The Pusher". It's one of their best.💙

Oh boy! Mr. Video... I know you didnt start the Steppenwolf ride without The Pusher Man

It's a shift in the culture over the last 50 years that's leading to misunderstanding. In the 60's it was perfectly normal for a man to address a full-grown woman as "Girl", and a younger woman as "Little Girl". This has changed due to the early leaders of the Women's Rights movement, who declared that "Girl" was a demeaning and degrading term. They equated it with a Southerner addressing a black man as "Boy". It's calling someone something less than yourself, and after a while women weren't about to put up with that shit any more. And when John Kaye tells the girl to close her eyes, it isn't because he's about to get freaky. He's telling her to let go of the reality around her and enjoy the (LSD) trip she's about to take. That's the whole point of this song: he's saying take the trip, expand your mind, see what wonders are waiting for you inside this sugar cube. Shroomy is an appropriate description, but in my day we would've called it 'cidley. The visuals were supposed to replicate what drug-induced hallucinations looked like. They failed. The only time I've seen a realistic acid trip on film was the Do Lung Bridge scene from 'Apocalypse Now'. Every time I watch that scene the lights flicker, and I get a funny little tingle in my tongue. And "Hypnototical Blipdeblotical" is without question the word of the day. Did I spell that right?

Being 66 leaves me a lot of freedom because I don't look like they think I should

"Everything switched up, that quick!" Yep, acid will do that to you 😆! Close your eyes girl look inside girl Let The Sound take you away! A Magic Carpet Ride is an acid trip. Back when the song was done, when a guy your age called us little girl he was just saying hey chick you know we didn't take offense back then. It was endearing.)

Welcome to the 60's that ran into the 70's Good Times... When I was young 😳😳

Also pretty sure this is classed as psychedelic rock so yes, it is shroomy 😂

Seems the "magic carpet ride" is really just about sitting on the floor and listening in amazement to a new stereo system.

Also the Vietnam war was hurting a lot of young people and they wanted to forget so it was drug paradise

Steve Miller Band is a must bro, The Joker would be a good place to start.

You should check out Mungo Jerry's In the Summer Time.

"LITTLE GIRL" !? Good catch dude, older songs had a bunch of nicknames for females they were trying to woo. I had to do a bit of research and Steppenwolf seems pretty clear , so the lyrics are probably referring to childlike wonder. Just when I thought I couldn't have more respect for you upload another video showing you're even BETTER than I thought man.

Whoo hooo! Drugs is a helluva thing! Don’t try to make sense of this Mr. Video , you’ll hurt yourself 😜

Okay looky here. You need to go old-school and by yourself a stereo system with an actual record player on it.( Make sure that you get one that you can stack records on so that you don't have to change it after every album.) We can send you some of the most incredible stuff you've ever heard in your life but, it always sounds better (to a lot of us) on vinyl! Besides, you haven't lived until you've put together a record collection!

Watch the movie East Rider. You’ll hear this group. Born To Be Wild is my favorite.

I grew up listening to southern Baptist, Christian music... at about 10, I found a stash of my mom's old records.. first one was Steppenwolf... needless to say, I discovered Rock that day thru them and never looked back..I was mesmerized. This was the first Rock band I ever heard. I wore out this album. Lol ❤❤🤗🤗🤗

"Rock me Baby" was their follow up to this tune. Now that I'm here. John Kay made a solo album called "Forgotten Songs and Unsung Heroes" Analogy of folk/rock/country forgotten songs by unsung heroes of his. "Bold Marauder" comes to mind. "Moving On" too. Also the "Pusher" was written by country musician/actor Hoyt Axton.

"Born To Be Wild" is next in line on the Steppenwolf classic Rock-n-Roll train ! John Kay is one wicked rocker and super☆star frontman 😎🎙 Check is vids from 1979 & 2009 he looks & sounds the same..... Long live Rock-n-Roll man ! ✌😎

''Easy Rider'' the movie with Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson

Ohhh you going waaay back!! Born to be wild was one I was howling in the back of the car as a lil toddler. Good times, good memories

HELL YESSSS!! Hit it 🎸🔥🎤🔥🎸 Steppenwolf was Hottt back in the day!! You need to do “The Pusher” or “Born To Be Wild” next 🔥

Fav all day, let's dance, put your shoes

"The hell is goin on here...", an appropriate first response. I promise you NOBODY remembers Steppenwolf, but EVERYBODY knows this song.

“A little shroomy.” Just about spit out my drink on that one.

I was on the same hit of acid, when I saw this video followed by The Addams Family movie, when it first came out... was a wild ride, like being on a magic carpet.

I never tire of hearing this song.

This is one of my absolute, favorite ROAD TRIP jams! Whoo!

Again Vietnam war caused so much damage and all the songs from that time are hidden everywhere and so many suicides

Love this song, and honestly Love your singing too !! 💜💜💜💜

Steppenwolf is awesome. Got to see them live. Their sound is phenomenal.

Great tune, great reaction!

Steppenwolf's "Don't Step On The Grass, Sam" and "Sookie, Sookie, Sookie" are iconic!!...😃💥👍

The Bible says that laughter is good like medicine and you are like medicine to me. You make me laugh so hard your facial expressions are what does it in the silly things that you say you can tell that you’re trying to be polite but when you saw Boy George you said you were confused as to what his character was that was hilarious to me I love boy George. Keep up the good work Mr. video

The movie Easy Rider with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson.....this song was in that movie. Great ride🎼🎶🎹🎸🤘🔥😎🎧

That's some psychedelica for you, good to the last trip.

SAW @ The Fraze, Ohio 2012: sounds EXACTLY the same. FAB outdoor summer concert (with Foghat, excellent, too) 💖🙏🏾🎶

Ah yes...a little head tripping ...some Steppenwolf...and Mr Video projected onto the cloudy sky...not a bad way to spend a quite Monday afternoon...gotta love it!

Rock music is like a gemstone, there are many facets to it: Pop Rock, Hard Rock, Swamp Rock, Punk Rock, Progressive Rock, Alternative Rock and Magic Carpet Ride is Psychedelic Rock

THANK YOU MR. ♌️ VIDEO MAN!! This was one my husband’s favorite songs! Even though the song was way older than we were he loved it when we were in high school in the mid80s he used to sing it to me all the time!!! 🦋❤️🕊🎶🎶🎶🌹🌹

An American/,International band. Originally one Austrian born, two Canadians, two Californians. In this video we're shown John Kay,vocals - & Nick St.Nicholas,bass both from Germany - Californian, Michael Monarch on guitar - Canada's Jerry Edmonton on drums, and Goldy McJohn on keys. On the song we hear it's John,Jerry,Michael,Goldy, and original bassist, Rushton Moreve, with the rythm guitar on the exotic loop in the middle by Jerry's brother, Dennis aka Mars Bonfire. What did you think of Nick's pajamas and Goldy's hair? Pretty cool in 1968. Lady in the video is Jutta Mauve-Kay, John's wife. Still married over 50 years!

While everyone is chasing new hits, you chose a different path))) Well done)

I met these guys in January 1972 dude was working and going to school . When they left to return to New York they bought a 1958 red and white Thunderbird from my dad. Lol I didn't realize who they were until I went to their place on my 17th birthday. I'm so glad I was born in 1955. I've met a lot of very cool people in my lifetime. It really does make getting older worth it. Lol

This will be priceless lol enjoy. Thanks. Made my day.

More fellow Canadians. I grew up on this music. I am rocking it. Thanks so much. "Shroomy"....most definitely. I have such a big smile on my face, love watching you.

Back in the day when this was on the radio I had been on many magic carpet rides so this struck a note with me. Always been a fan.

Magic carpet ride was about LSD, Since i don't work at Chrysler anymore, I watch your video;s Keep em comin Bro, Dig into the Stooges from Detroit man, it will make you jump on your Couch for sure, Rock on, Cousin Figel

More LSD ride than Magic carpet ride isn't it hahaha..Love me some Steppenwolf tho.lol

One of my go to “smoke one” tracks. The minute I hear this I HAVE to light one up

Im a 51 year old white dude from texas. I love watching you listen to the music ive known from the cradle. If you ever come to Texas, lets kick it.

Born to be Wild great biker song.

Love it! My new favourite adjective is "shroomy"... You're always bringing the smiles to my house bro.

Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the sound take you awaaaaaaaaay

This was a number #1 hit and was one of most played songs of all time on radio.

If you do another song by them you should definitely do The Pusher!!

I saw them in concert, probably in 1990. There was a State Fair next to the stadium and after the concert we went to the fair..it was late, close to closing, not many people there. The band came over to the fair as well.. we ran into them and hung out with them for a couple hours. The fair stayed open for us.. we played games and rode everything... and drank and smoked weed lmao. It was freakin awesome!!!!!

Thank you for your uploads Mr Video! You always make me laugh and make my day better

Smoking while watching this will send you on your own Magic Carpet Ride 🥴🤣

How in the hell did I miss this one ! Love it !! Good job !

Welcome to the magical shrooomy ride that is Steppenwolf. Enjoy your journey and keep on being you It's Brilliant!!!

Not literally a little girl lol. And the song is talking about letting the music take you away... Probably while on an acid trip but hey.🤷

Your one liners have me cracking up. Keep up the great content!

This was before 1970 , or the stone ages. Back then , the great U.S Rock n Roll bands were outnumbered 10 to 1 by the British bands , and they were one of them ! 😎

Whenever i hear this song, i think of the monster chase montage from every episode of Scooby Doo ever. Maybe that's hash flashbacks from watching cartoon network in college.... I don't know.

Lol John Kay was on his own magic carpet ride!!!!

Love your reaction! You feel the vibes, baby! You would of fit in perfectly in the peace and love era!

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - I CAN FEEL HIM IN THE MORNING

🇺🇸Oh damn-I spoke too soon...let's do this😂 💯I'm so gonna grow your channel.lmao-everyone NEEDS this right now!!!

This was one of my dad's favorite road trip cassettes. He would have been 76 the day you posted this.

Nice reaction, Born to be wild, pure Americana must be next. No matter the generation , everyone should experience these songs.

2:40am Friday ur killing me.. I hav to get up in 4hrs

This is why I love watching you, now I get this song, Cheers from an Aussie 😉

Psychedelics were used in 1967 and truth be known, probably in the making of this song....MAGIC CARPET RIDE. Good jiggity! ☺️👏👏👏

You always make my day better. I always laugh!!

So many songs I forgot were out there🎶🎵💙🎧 love these reactions

I love several Reactors. But none of them make me laugh like you do!😅😂🤣

The woman in the video is his wife Jutta. "I like to dream, right between the sound machine" is from back in the day getting a new stereo and listening between the speakers. Very cool couple who are still together today.

I got in trouble for stealing my older brothers’ cassette tape and listening to Steppenwolf! I was around 10 or 12, then got caught listening to Pusher Man🙄😬 which came on afterwards! 🤣🤣🤣👍😎

My fav song as a ten year old girl! My Dad was in Vietnam and this song was number 1 for many weeks! It’s Badass!

I love that you love it! This is one of my favorites too. Shroomi that’s hilarious. I think I know what you mean because I see it too lol

Country singer songwriter Hoyt Axton (the dad from Gremlins) wrote a few hit songs for Steppenwolf, including "The Pusher".. which Hoyt does his own amazing version of.. might be fun checking out both versions. Hoyt's mom was also a songwriter.. who wrote songs for Elvis among others.

The PUSHER has to be next man! You have now entered into our world man, if you dig this you’ll be joining all us Old School Bikers before long and once you cross that line....

Oh yeah my element, Wow, the memories rushing thru...Puffin and Passin Super Jammin...Thanks Mr. V. Peace Too, Groovy

I love when you catch that vibe. Love it. StaySafe&Blessings🦋

Shroomie 😂👍! Saw these guys in concert my best bro and I were doing shrooms. Last time doing shrooms last concert with my late friend. ❤✌

One of my favorite Steppenwolf songs...good choice, sir.
