The footage is circa 1965 when the song came out, but hardly the joyous scenes implied in the song.

Из всех автобусов в детстве любил только "ЛиАЗ". Желтенький, со "звоном бутылок" "ЛАЗа" ("Львов") с "горбатой спиной" боялся, он "дзззикал" (стравливала пневматика, срабатывал "солдатик"). "ПАЗик" сильно тряс, укачивал. "Икарус", вроде, громко "рычал" и вонял солярой. Еще любил троллейбус "ЗиУ". Другие в городе и не ходили у нас.

Такие асоциируються с моим детсвом 2000ных

0:57 А какой там год чтобы уже на свете существовал ЛиАЗ 5256.00 ?

Вы потеряете их только в 2014-15 году,катаетесь там ещё 3 года,ребята из 2012(для москвичей)

Легенда живёт

It was nice back then but over the years politicians opened the floodgates lots of shet here now they brought along lots of diseases , poverty , crime and filth

When I was a kid, 1990 I always hear this song with our AM radio..

The UK is with yourselves sliding further & further !

Ещё в Москве их технологию изобретали

Эти автобусы делали на совесь

Уже 10 лет прошло, а я все ещё восхищаюсь этим видео😊

Petula Clark era parte de la arrolladora y exitosa invasión británica de los años 60. Bella e inolvidable época.

Actually things are always great when you are going downtown, no matter what which city you are!

She also had Tony Hatch/Jackie Trent writing her biggest hits! My two faves are this one and "Don't Sleep in the Subway"!

The second best video

Como eu gostava dessa música...Deu saudades agora. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

miss the good old days😊

Petulant Clark is a classic, and so is this song😊🎉

MAD MEN times...

This is tremendous .. I only saw Her sing on B/W TV or listen on the radio ..to see and listen to DownTown for the first time in colour is just so amazing! :-) x

WoW New-York in the 60s

This is great!!! Downtown is one of the first songs I remember.

- GreaT and Memorable Times ThaT Will NoT To ReTurn,When My Sagred MoTher Lived in The USA in The 60s.(66-67)She LisTened PeTula Clarck Songs a LoT,And'DownTown'Becames Her FavouriTe For Over...~😀🌉💁🏼‍♀️🎶👵🏼🌠🤤

1965 downtown = safe & sound..........2023 downtown = Escape from NY, elect Snake Plisskin

That's probably the best time new York looked normal compared to today

I was beaten just about everyday for 11 years. Everytime l heard this song I'd hope the singer would jump out of the song and take me away. In a way, she still does.

Great.voice.great.backing.great.song❤

Una delle rare canzoni in inglese dove si capiscono perfettamente le parole. La musica della mia adolescenza!❤

Another time, another world. Sad to think how far we are. The magic of the great Petula Clark and this beautiful song.

Я и Алекс уже потеряли икарус 283

Эх, ностальгия... 😢

Cuando la vida,verdaderamente se disfrutaba, emanaba, mucha tranquilidad, más educación, vestimenta más presentable y elegante y ciudades más limpias y ordenadas.

I want to go back to that. NYC is now is lost!

Благодарю вас .

😢😢

My son was born in 1963 and he would get so excited when he heard Downtown. I used to sing it to him.

Wow,great cars,stylish fashion then. I didn't see any graffiti or litter either.

Love this song. Beautiful voice.xx

Dressing well, and good manners are always welcome in my world.

Pet Clark singing "Downtown" with scenes of New York in the 60's.... priceless😀

I am only 60 years old , but I truly remember going downtown, with my Beloved Mother. Grandmother, Great Aunts. Aunt, cousins to shop in Washington DC, it was the most wonderful time in my life, so many happy memories of A time gone by, Thank God for my memories of those happy days how they tug at my heart.😢

it's march 18th, i think it's close to saint patrick day, hello your fan, george leblanc jr.

Videos like these, in this day age, evoke melancholy. Beginning my eighth decade on earth and left the city and live in rural America.

We baby boomers never realized how fortunate we were to grow up when we did.

This song brings back great memories of riding the city bus with my mother after she was off work while we were living in Sacramento. Yes, it's true, it was a rainy evening DOWNTOWN?! If I close my eyes, I can still picture it, and tears flow for that innocent time. I want to go back for a "visit" so badly. 🤗😢

Да время идёт и многое поменялось. Жаль и хунгариков и жёлтый как Икарус тёплый как КамАЗ тоже жаль

Видео как бальзам на душу

да паз штампуют практически без изменений сколько времени, почему нельзя было сохранить 677 лиаз, но после него кирпичи то же веселые были, помню такие же пучеглазые с задранным носом, из-за тяжолого двигателя в заднице, то же весело прыгал на неровностях, а сейчас что кирпич еле едет, и солярой воняет, как "татарин". поставили новые автобусы. рычит гремит, а скорости нет и на трассе проклятие не больше 40.
