Supertramp is a great English rock band formed in 1969. They had so many great songs in the 70's-80's such as "Give A Little Bit", "Breakfast In America", "Goodbye Stranger", "Take The Long Way Home", "It's Raining Again", "Bloody Well Right", "My Kind Of Lady", "Cannonball", "I'm Beggin' You", "You Win, I Lose" etc.

supertramp waren nicht von dieser welt, absolute genies. habe diese zeit erlebt und danke gott dafür.

Supertramp were one very talented group of musicians who were one the most innovative and influential bands who flourished through the 70's and 80's. Their catalogue of songs runs very deep. And Roger Hodgson has one of the most unique voices you will ever hear! Fantastic song choice!

Another song by them along the same vein is TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME. Supertramp is a remarkable group!😊

Supertramp were a superb band back in the 70's and early 80's. They never achieved megastar status but their music was clever, innovative and still sounds superb today.

The magical and logical sense to this song just keeps getting more unbelievable , a super smash of a song!

When I was young (pun intended) this song meant so much to me. Now that I'm older, I think it means more. Simply Superb!

Another fantastic Brilliant British band

Supertramp are musical geniuses

Very rarely do bands put out 4 superb albums in a row. Crime of the Century is almost perfect. Followed by... Crisis What Crisis? Even In the Quietest Moments Breakfast in America Supertramp is the most underrated band in rock history.

Supertramp's 1974 breakout album "Crime of the Century" is a MASTERPIECE, pure and simple! They clearly influenced Pink Floyd's 1979 release "The Wall" with their "Crime of the Century" themes and lyrics. Happy Supertramp Discovering!

Supertramp's Breakfast in America album was released in 1979 and almost every song on the album hit the Billboard charts. You should deep dive the entire album, they have musicianship on par with Chicago for sheer skill on arrangements.

Supertramp were one of the original supergroups back in the 70's, a very clever band in every respect.

Supertramp have so many great songs! Enjoy the trip!

The variety of sounds produced by Supertramp is impressive.

This English band was one of my favs when I was at uni, and remains in my top ten today, 50+ yrs later. The strength of Supertramp is based on the great differences between the two leaders who first formed the band. Hodgeson, the keyboard and lead singer on this song, went to a private school with a music specialty. He was big into pop music. Davies, the sax player and backup vocals and bass, was a working class boy, focussed on blues and jazz. Obviously, the marriage of these different backgrounds worked!!

the daughter made solid true points. This song is so rellevant here at ..........over 40 years later

I heard this song since 1979 and it never gets old, such a great song !

"One, two, three, five!" One of the most awesome impromptu additions to an outro EVER. Lol. You guys totally get this one. Rebelling against conformity and materialism are primary to this whole album. Supertramp was another of my formative bands. The song School is similar, lyrically. Spent many nights listening with headphones, digesting the lyrics of their albums. Roger Hodgson's voice is magical, and he's one of the primary songwriters. Try Even In The Quietest Moments, and Is It Mine? for more of his fantastic interpretive voice for his own seeking and insightful lyrics.

There was another great UK band around at the same time as Supertramp, in the very late 60's/early 70's, who sadly, seem to have been forgotten, although their line-up included some of the greatest musicians around at the time! They were called 'Heads Hands and Feet', & they deserve to be heard, not only because they were a great band, but also because they included virtuoso performers, like Albert Lee, on lead guitar (a Brit who went on to rule the Country Music scene in Nashville, as the finest 'country-picker' for years!!) & Chas Hodges, who was one of the most sought after session musicians in the 60's, as well as a multi-instrumentalist, he was a great lead, & back-up singer. He also later joined up with an old friend, Dave Peacock, to form 'Chas & Dave', and to introduce a brand new music genre, called 'Rockney'! (Cockney-Rock!) Give HH&F a listen, & if you like them, check out Albert Lee's solo stuff, and Chas & Dave, if you fancy a good old rowdy Cockney 'knees-up'!! 😁

Knew you ladies were going to be blown away by that one. Great song, great album...

I went to Paris to see them live in 1979. One of my favourite band ever. Your reactions are brilliant. More supertramp. Elo ( ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA) .

You both need to see their Live in Paris show, right here on KZfaq them playing all those instruments live

You have a deep well to go dive into with Supertramp.

Story is right by your mom, I went to boarding school, my wife left me with two girls to raise from grade school, but I work for them, cool review again yay 👍😁👌

I believe that the song begins with him, after describing young childhood, being sent off to boarding school to learn to be all those things he sings of, and then on to growing up and you folks got it all right from there. On an instrumental note, every time I see daughter get that appreciative snarl when the saxophone starts up, it makes me think that, someday, you really need to get around to the band called Morphine. They were unique, in that their saxophonist took the lead where you normally expect for the electric guitar to be, and the singer plays a bass guitar with only two strings and a slide. I'd recommend a song called Cure For Pain, to get started. On the last note, yes, our school systems spend too much time trying to create obedient workers with not enough time or attention to truly nurture creativity and lifetime passions for learning or for the arts or for community.

It is always an extra pleasure when a song resonates with you. Funnily enough Supertramp do have a song called 'School' which you may also enjoy. I recall that it is also a song that describes the singer's disenfranchisement with school. Supertramp was were the first major band I took a girl to see (and myself for that matter). The concert was successful, the relationship was not! PS. Love you both!

That Awesome song never gets old. I hope you listen to more Supertramp songs in the future.

I heard them live. Listen to Mom!!keep your Channel Goiong !!! i heard this 50 yrs. Ago.

Always loved this song. It came from Supertramp's blockbuster 1979 album, Breakfast In America. Besides "The Logical Song", other great songs from the album are "Take The Long Way Home" and "Goodbye Stranger".

There double live album in Paris is fantastic. There timing with each instrument is immaculate , also a great DVD!

Even In The Quietest Moments album. Superb.

Another exceptional band packed with talented musicians. Crime of the Century is probably my favourite but you can't really go wrong with Supertramp.

Not many songs have such profound lyrics. FYI, Paul McCartney said this was his favorite song of 1979, the year it came out.

School is another great song by Supertramp

Hi ladies one of the best selling LPs of 1979 this was the biggest hit from that LP reached number 6 on Billboard pop singles chart the LP Breakfast in America which I think is their best work keep up the great work ladies

"School" is another classic Supertramp song along the same theme. Check it out.

you have GOT to listen to Goodbye Stranger...It is by far their best song musically...the instrumentals are WONDERFUL...give it a listen

School is another great one by them... And IT addresses the same subject matter

golden oldie..... the bird is the word

"Take the long way Home"....enjoy that song, it's on the same recording from 1979.

I loved the stories of your experiences at school growing up, and I believe many/most of us can relate! Supertramp is a deep and rich rabbit hole, and I would suggest going back to their earlier days and do "School" next!

Listen to more Supertramp. All of their songs are kinda perfect.

Supertramp, so many great songs !

A song that has always resonated with me as a teenager when it first came out. Love the way you picked up on the lyrics.

Can never get enough of Supertramp, so talented and all their songs go deep.

When i was in elementary school back in the late 70s, early 80s, the teacher noticed I was left handed….and she told my parents that to be left handed was a bad thing…and no one in my family was left handed…so they forced me to write with my right hand…they even got a rope and tied my left hand behind my desk at school, i cried all day…and i HATED school…I ended up going to 4 different elementary schools…what i did learn how to do was draw with my right hand…and I had this passion for art..and all through my school …I was told to be an artist was a waste of time…and the teacher asked me why my handwriting was so bad……I told her cause i was left handed…so she kept me after class until i improved…and I had a hard time…but I could draw…and one day my brother said…”Why don’t you draw your letters..”…so I did, and the teacher was so impressed, but she didn’t know i was actually drawing my handwriting….when my arm was tied to the back of my chair, my arm would get tired and heavy…now to this day I have problems with my shoulder…and it always dislocates…this song…meant a lot to me growing up….because I grew up angry and confused…I thought i was a bad person for being left handed…now…My wife is left handed and 2 out of our three kids are left handed. Today there are still things I do more with my left hand than my right.

Band full of musical geniuses. Can’t go wrong

Supertramp were massive in the 1970’s , two incredible Albums, Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America. I was in high school during these times, great memories.

Dreamer is another awesome Supertramp song to check out. Really any of their songs are awesome. I do know if they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame it is indeed a crime.

the singer is definitely whimsical 😂 even in other songs he tries to be hopeful, poetic one

Percussionist here - the clicky-sounding instrument used near the start is a set of castanets. (Classic Spanish Flamenco instrument. If you’ve seen Flamenco dancers, the women play these along with their own movements.)

I think the main message of this song is that society has stifled our self expression and I totally agree with that. You both broke this song down so perfectly thank you for another great reaction 🤗 0:01

Mama Gap. Love you. Please don’t put yourself down by saying you’re not intellectual. You are intelligent and what you have accomplished just shows that those who strive to put limits on you are the ones who are not intelligent.

🐎I'm sorry I haven't been here for a while. I've been in the hospital for a few weeks. I just wanted to see my favorite ladies again. It gave me something to look forward to. Thank you, my beautiful girls. I missed you. 😍🤠💓🌵🐎💓💓

Even in the Quietest Moments

They did feel like magic.

your reaction was so beautiful love QLD Australia thank you so very much. please play for me give a little bit, by supertramp..

Great Reaction to yet another wonderful English Band of The 1970s onwards. I saw them, as a support act, soon after they started in 1971/72 in South West London. After "Crime Of The Century" they soon topped Bills all over including The States..

You must see this LIVE! There are videos of this and other Supertramp songs played live in Paris 1979. You will love it!

There is nothing better than great sax.

I do love breakfast in America I love track on the album..

best supertramp song ever imo

Great reaction ladies! Supertramp was a very good group.

Awesome cool song yay, use to listen to it in jr high and high school yeah, good review from you guys 👌😎👍🎤

My favourite group of all time ever since I heard their all-time classic album Crime of the Century as a young teen in the mid-1970s. This song is overplayed but still sounds great. The message still resonated today. Supertramp could be very cynical in their deep lyrics but they always rang true and sincere. John Anthony Halliwell's sax playing is always superb but especially great here. These guys are mater musicians with amazing lyrics and superior sound production. You haven't even heard the singing and keyboard playing of the other front man, Richard Davies. If you want a cynical song about education from them listen to their all-time classic songs that start Crime of the Century - School and Bloody Well Right. Listen to them back to back because they flow one into the other musically and thematically.

This reaction just warmed my heart the way these two ladies prosses it(the song) and discuss it. Very nice!! Thank you!!

I kept hearing this song in the late seventies and early eighties and when I asked a friend of mine who they were he told me. I had never heard of them! Sadly I asked if they planned on touring in the near future and he said, "I really don't think that's possible since they broke up over the direction of the band or something like that!" Wow was I let down!

I remember when I was young I wanted to dye my hair black, my parents laughed and said 'don't be silly only women dye their hair' haha right, my son at roughly the same age I was said he wanted to dye his hair, I went out and bought the dye for him and said 'go for it - make the most of your chance before it falls out!'. 'Take The Long Way Home' is another of their classics

Love watching you two reacting to music. I'm a "Home Fry" and began watching you when you reacted to Home Free. It's been awhile since you have reacted to our guys and they have dropped a lot of new videos in the mean time. Many of their new stuff has been originals written by them. However I would suggest your next Home Free reaction be their newest which is a cover of Delta Dawn featuring Brooke Eden. Keep on reacting, love you two.

"School" is another great song with great lyrics and video ! Thx for reacting 🎤🎸🎶💜

If you like "Another Brick in the Wall", You'll love "School" by Supertramp!!!!!!!

Supertramp !! What a band - You must do "The Long Way Home" Really great band

Logical song was written by one of the band members who was sent off to a private boarding school. Obviously never quite got over it 😮

Try their most beautiful song called "Hide in Your Shell" - so briiliantly written, jumping around the keys in surprising ways and with very poignant lyrics for introvert and shy people. And do check out their self titled sadly overlooked 1970 debut album - it's one of those records that you can keep listening to over and over without ever getting tired of it - full of great tunes with interesting lyrics and instrument combinations.

Roger Hodgson (singer, songwriter) have his own Yoytube channel and he is still active. I prefer its versions of songs than the Supertramp version. Try song (for your own) 'Hide in your shell'

First I’m glad you enjoyed it. Second, you truly got the essence of the lyrics. The lyrics from then to now is proving to everyone what he was singing about. So glad you picked up on it! Thanks

Good reaction!! Supertramp was an amazing band, extreme talent and innovative musicians. Quite introvert in their early years.., and Roger Hodgson is a great song-writer and vocalist (so is Rick Davies). This is also progressive rock, so the genre of pink floyd and even Meat Loaf is not far away. Sometimes quite jazz-y and the blues influence is there as well. Great sax by Halliwell, great percussion.., bass... I still listen to Supertramp! Try "Even in the quietest moments"..., "Crime of the Century"... "School"...., they take you on a journey.

Wow, Eddie Van Halen and Super Tramp, two of my all time favorites, both in one day. Awesome

I can see your love of design and art in the lovely jewelry you wear in all your videos!

Fun fact: Supertramps original name was Daddy. LOL

Supertramp was the only band to play at Woodstock, Live Aid and the funeral of Queen Elizabeth.

Fantastic reaction. Heartfelt and heart warming.

I can so relate to what you were talking about at the end of the song. You hit the nail right on the head, when you said that in school they want the kids to be a certain way, and be interested in certain things like certain sports. I could care less about football, basketball, or baseball. I had a pretty good idea as to what career I wanted, which was being an auto mechanic, but they would try to push me towards things that had no relation to the path that I wanted to take, so I rebeled.

Hi ladies again I just want to say something I've got a 7-year old daughter and I told her she will be whatever she wants to be x

Your daughter is so intelligent.. she's awesome

When this album debuted in 1979 I was 21 years old and had my whole life in front of me. Sometimes when I hear anything from this album it takes me right back to when I first heard it. It seems like a lifetime ago and then it seems like it was only yesterday.

When breakfast in America introduced itself to the world I was in high-school on a 4 day road trip with kids and teachers I enjoyed an array of music. certainly different to most others I knew at that time and remember hearing this track on radio bought it ( on cassette ) in a town we stopped for break and had to stop myself from bouncing off the bus walls such was the joy in listening to the album. ah memories

Both of you hit the nail on the head, I've watched a few of your reactions and it's like you bounce of each other. 👏 from Glasgow Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great reaction, ladies! Supertramp is such a great band. Super talented in every aspect of music making.

This had been my favorite song since 1979. Welcome to the club. :) You might also like their song "Hide in Your Shell" . It was from a few years earlier.

A lot of his lyrics in his songs deal with him being sent away to boarding school when he was a kid. "But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible..." Their songs "School" "Rudy" and "Dreamer" also go into the topic.

I also love the album and song" Crime of the century".

Yeah, it is a perfect song. I never could be normal. It took me forever until I just felt comfortable being me. I never really knew who I was growing up, and this song asked the question that I was unable to ask.

The whole school thing was always an obstacle thing for me. I had some teachers I loved and most teachers were boring. I was in high school and college in the 60's by San Francisco so life was radical to me and I came from a family of artists. I loved school and ended up teaching art and a Native American program because I wanted the kids to have someone on their side and I knew they all had their own voices.

I have never thought about that, but there is actually a little bit similar vibes in Pink Floyd songs, besides The Wall album also "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" and "High Hopes". Thank you for that paralel.

saw them live in Copenhagen 1974 with an audience of about 600 people a few moths before their breakthrough! the hidden gem is Hide in your shell

So glad you loved this all-time classic! You will probably really enjoy the studio version as well, which has even more interesting instrumentation and sound effects. "I know it sounds absurd -- please tell me who I am." is such a heart-rending lyric.

You're right. Roger Hodgson does have a distinctive voice, and then there's the Wurlitzer piano. You always know when you're hearing a Supertramp song. The other singer, Rick Davies' voice is also distinctive in its own right.

Great song.
