Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lookin' Out My Back Door (REACTION) with my wife

[@757optim]

We all thought this song was about a psychotropic drug experience. When you learn that it was inspired by John's son and written from the perspective of a child's imagination, it makes the song so much more precious. John Fogerty is a musical genius.

[@keithr-xj7zx]

Take a ride on the flying spoon. It's about his sons imagination??? Yeah right!!! 😅

[@olripper2700]

​@@keithr-xj7zx You must have had a sad and difficult drug filled adolescence.

[@criticalthinkersrule]

So similar to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Everyone thought it was about an LSD trip (Lucy Sky Diamonds) until John Lennon revealed that it was about a picture painted at kindergarten by Julian Lennon.

[@danieldonovan6244]

I Love that you love my favorite band. YOU both are true Amreicans for liking this.

[@danrumble74]

​@@criticalthinkersrule You both thought one thing, based on common sense, then thought another when you were told otherwise 😆 Good Job 👍

[@sam-wz8tu]

Good people like you would be welcome anywhere in the world.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you kindly 💚

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤I love Dominica's comment about "being able to connect. Good music has a way of touching us all like that, no matter where the singer...or the listener, is from.❤

[@carnivoroussoupspoon]

"bother me tomorrow, today i'll find no sorrow".....oh man that is good stuff

[@SteveWalsh-qm3tk]

We were so blessed, the soundtrack of my youthful teenage years in the 70’s, good times, good friends, the absolute best music, ever 😎

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

Not only does he mention "Buck Owens" in this great song it is also musically inspired by Buck Owens style.

[@jimmcleese1042]

I was three years old when this song came out. I would get very excited every time I heard it on the radio. It's my first musical memory!

[@wendyryder2708]

Aww! ADORABLE! Very precious memory to have!

[@tomhuhn7082]

We accept you!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you 😊

[@lisagilbert542]

Down on the corner is a must

[@grandpafischer8317]

John said in an interview that he wrote this song for his 3 year old son, and he made a reference to a Dr. Seuss story as his inspiration for it. Neat upbeat song for sure.

[@Billy-zv6gv]

Back in the '70's, our Dad would play this song, and we kids would love to listen to this fun jam, looking out our back door at the farm we grew up on. Our house, our farm, and my fam are now long gone, but my memories remain. I thank both y'all for helping keep those memories alive!

[@carolynsanders3185]

I’m so glad I’m an American, so glad I spent my high school and college years in the 70’s, heard CCR all the time, it was a great time!!!

[@steddie4514]

John Fogerty...an absolute genius! 👍🇬🇧

[@alvinwilson1958]

We accept you and your sweet wife ❤

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We are packing 😉

[@aldobelli8300]

Creedence Clearwater Revival were DEFINITELY MAGIC!!!!!!

[@carlosgaribay4396]

I am a Mexican living in Los Angeles since 1976. And I remember Mexican Americans play this .❤❤

[@BreckTaxi]

My In-Laws are Mexicans living in Mexicali and although they don't speak English they love playing CCR.

[@PHX10100]

Us Baby Boomers where so happy Vietnam was over the 60's-70's music is in our DNA. This talent explosion is a gift to generations. Young generations like you appreciating it through these reaction videos is a joy.

[@hibhibb5429]

You two are so Adorable!! @ 5:33 We accept you. Love your reactions!!! CCR is Legendary!!

[@will-x9c]

CCR is part of my DNA. Very relatable, everybody has needed to sit down and take a rest on the porch. CCR is like a warm summer day with the sun shining brightly and a blue sky. Problems? "Bother me tomorrow." They were the real America of good-hearted generous people, not the sick Hollywood verison

[@beverlymcgrath8441]

So true. This song always reminds me of a sunny summer day riding over the bridge to Cape Cod with my family going to the beach. Fun, happy music

[@richardlaw2345]

CCR was the best, I'm 70 and have been fan for 56 years .......Green River was my song, changed my life

[@seanpaula8924]

Im almoat 60. CCR never gets old. Fond memories.

[@eMCatman]

CCR is a band that I never get tired of listening to, and I've been listening since '69.

[@russ4338]

I’m a 72 hs grad, would listen to them for years to come. Just a great band.

[@dow311]

CCR, Three Dog Night and Blood, Sweat and Tears are three of my favorite bands.

[@mikemiller3069]

I love you guys. I would probably tune in just to hear Andre say, "hello and welcome back....." but then, you have so much fun listening to the music and it makes me smile. I got my first two albums when I was probably 13 or 14. My brother gave them to me for my birthday. I was a trumpet player in band and loved Chicago but my brother wasn't a big fan of them so he gave me a Chicago album and a CCR album to put his own influence in. They have so many great songs.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Many thanks. Love and peace from Romania 💚

[@bretttodd6470]

Lodi is another great song by CCR. Storytelling at its best. The way they stretch the two words Lodi again is amazing.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction! This music was with me growing up. Playing on the radio while learning to drive, listening to CCR LPs after school, great times for music.

[@mylesstopmotionsandcats2482]

Creedence is one of the defining American bands, really stinks its underrated, but they have amazing songs, and i love it how you guys are listening to them! (context, i absolutely love CCR, so i am very happy you two are listening)

[@deegomez2089]

I agree D....when you don't listen to music, that's when life starts to kick you in the gut....well said 💚🎵🎶

[@flippinpages6550]

I saw them back stage at Winterland San Francisco1968. I was with another band playing that night. CCR was laughing and very high energy. Doherty is one of my husbands favorites. We were lucky to be us with the music scene. The Vietnam war was always on our minds.

[@leahjeansonne9823]

Y'all are absolutely adorbs. This was not my generation but, it was my parents, so this type of music touches my heart and always will✌️✌️

[@keithcarper8809]

CCR is part of the soundtrack of my life. ☮💙🎶

[@rickward460]

Y'all are the best 👍👍 Another piece of American classics! Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸

[@diceau]

i was in high school when this came out and always loved it. thank you

[@agunslinger9349]

Oh I, we, totally accept you two. LOVE you guys. Your honesty and enthusiasm is contagious.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Much love 💚

[@SteelCurtain_90]

This was totally my favorite song when I was a child. By the grace of God, I was raised in the country ...and music often makes time signatures on our lives. This song takes me back to that special place and wonderful time. So, in a sense it's still a favorite of mine. Nothing flashy or technically over the top ...it just makes you feel good down to your soul. As always I love your reactions. Very genuine, sincere and interesting... you make your audience comfortable. I for one, welcome you as Americans if the music takes you there.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you. Peace and love from Romania 💚

[@EricSmaug]

WHEN I WAS 6 I USED TO SET MY GI JOES UP AS A BAND WITH BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS I AM 60 NOW LOL THEY WERE ONE OF MY FIRST ROCK BANDS// WE WILL ALWAYS ACCEPT YA !!!!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We're coming over 😁

[@KevinRCarr]

CCR has been part of the background music of my life. I was coming of age, musically, just as they were flashing across the music sky like an extended length shooting star. I was 10 years old the first time I heard their recording of the song Susie Q, coming from the crummy little dashboard speaker for the am radio in my dad's car. I was enchanted with the haunting sound of the song, and with the singer's voice. I still am enchanted with everything this band recorded, 56 years later. So, yes, I do still have their music on cd, and they get played at home and in the car.

[@mapegatkinson92]

Music is essential for mental health. As a longtime caregiver for dementia patients I always play music and videos of their day. They may forget about it soon after but you can tell they are happier inside and that helps their day be better!

[@wendyryder2708]

I TOTALLY agree! I don’t have Dementia, however I do have mental health problems and also my youngest daughter! Music the BEST! Peace and Blessings to you and yours!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Agreed! I was working as a dementia specialist care home for years, and the impact of music was enormous! Much love from Romania 💚

[@Teresaisall]

100% ❤😊

[@jenniferworley7115]

I remember singing this to my twin boys when they were young. ( They are 45 years old now and I just shared this with them again today). 😃😃😃 So many good memories of CCR. Loved your reaction guys. Peace, love and blessings to all. ✌🤗🙏

[@crystalvision1111]

Always listen to CCR, their music never gets old

[@criticalthinkersrule]

I can rember listening to this song at my grandaparents house when I was a kid. My grandfather disapproved and was mocking John Fogerty's "doo doo doos". Didn't stop me from loving CCR all my life and being lucky enougth to see JF live twice. At his concerts he has so many songs that he knows his fans want to hear that he has to play some of them in a medley of shortened versions.

[@garyjohnson7133]

So many memories with that song!

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

I was a teenager in the 90s and grew up with CCR!!! LOVE there music:)

[@Nancy-n4o8k]

How/

[@phantompower]

First vinyl records I was given as a kid was CCR Chronicles, around 1981, I had grown up listening to my dad play that music as we travelled or went hunting. Such good memories, such nostalgia, CCR was big in Canada.

[@debrablumrogers5096]

Absolutely LOVE CCR My #1 FAVORITE Band EVER ttied with EAGLES 🎵🎶.( cant choose). I still listen to CCR today , makes my days much happier.😊 Great Reactions 💗💗🎵🎶🥰

[@rdkLakota]

Reminds me of my uncles playing music at summer parties.

[@rogersprague563]

you would love CCR's Sweet Hitch Hiker ! I love CCR I remember listening to them while I was in Vietnam back in the day ! Proud mary , Fortunate Son, RunThrough the Jungle ,Down on the Corner .

[@general-cromwell6639]

CCR is one of those groups that don't make you get crazy, but, they are without any doubt, one of the best bands in American history. And, there are some songs that are, monumental. All the best. Cheers.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Love it! Another #1 song for them here in Canada 🇨🇦. They had 7 #1 songs here in Canada 🇨🇦 love Creedence Clearwater Revival ❤

[@P-M-869]

Their music came out while I was on Active Duty in the US Navy - USS Yellowstone AD-27. So, Yea I still listen to CCR

[@timothyallen4267]

They never get old listening to them, one of my favorite bands of all time. I think you would agree yes!!🎸

[@jocylynnhouy3994]

You are so accepted!!! CCR one of my favorite bands from my teen years.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

I love CCR. The only country band I know of that used Gibson guitars. That's what made them unique, that and their musicianship.

[@avlanche7777]

When I get home from work I sit outside and have a beer and just enjoy the early evening with the sounds of the bugs and the birds and the squirrels etc… So nice a time of day! I do get this wonderful classic.👍❤️

[@franksullivan1873]

I am always amazed at how much good music that I as so many of my time truly witnessed become part of the culture of our world.I feel very fortunate to have lived through seven decades of great music….but the 1970s were the best.

[@qguru5533]

I was 14 years old, working in my Uncle's Diner/ice cream shop, and every tip I made was dropped into the jukebox and this song put everyone in a good mood.

[@mattthomas1547]

They are always great but, when I'm driving they are perfect.

[@davidlerman8988]

Thank you for playing this great song👍 I Love watching you both & your heart felt reactions to good music! You both are so genuine And wonderful to watch😊

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you so much!! Much love from Romania 💚

[@NigelIncubatorJones]

It's so nice to see reactors that truly feel the CCR vibe. You nailed it--CCR is the most American of American bands. Part of the reason for this is that they bring in influences from several American musical genres: blues, country, and rock. They could do happy songs like this one, written from the perspective of the imagination of a young child, or more serious subjects like being anguished by the knowledge of contributing to a deadly accident (Graveyard Train). They paint little vignettes of American life, which, taken as a whole, give that overall feeling of capturing the American zeitgeist of a certain time. They sing about a happy childhood vacation spot (Green River), the frustrations of dealing with the fast-paced rat-race city life (Commotion), the unfairness of who fought in Vietnam (Fortunate Son), the small-town floozy's shenanigans (Molina), generalized foreboding (Bad Moon Rising), the sad story of a musician stuck in a small town (Lodi), feeling cursed by bad luck (Tombstone Shadow), boastful overconfidence (Penthouse Pauper), the fun of not quite following the rules (Bootleg), being an outcast (Porterville), and so many more besides. You asked how often we still listen. Well, their greatest hits album, Chronicle, is still charting even now. I listen to them pretty much every day.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Wow, amazing! Thank you so much 😊

[@brandonjones1349]

Great reaction MOA! Thank u ☘️🇺🇲

[@Jude_196]

LOVE THIS SONG!!! CCR is SO AWESOME!!! NO BAD SONGS!!! So HAPPY that ya'll love them, too!! HUGS from Texas!!

[@barbprescott303]

Loved CCR back when they originally recorded their songs. And love them still. Andre and Danika (I hope I spelled your names correctly), I always look forward to your reaction videos. So great to see such nice people, when so many here are not nice at all. Thank you so very 🎉!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

It's our pleasure to discover this amazing music with all of you here. Thank you so much for enjoying our videos ☺️

[@jeff-pm6mj]

Fun fact- John Fogerty's brother Tom is in the band and after CCR broke up, he went solo. Give a listen to his bluesy song "Train to Nowere". It is amazing how much he and John sound alike. Lot of talent in that family. Thanks for all you do and keep the CCR train rolling!

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

My brother and I, in the 60's and 70's couldn't wait for a new CCR song, this one was our favorite😅 they were Mega popular at the time. A great reaction 👍 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ Gary😊

[@2924sunny]

Aloha Andrei & Dominika! I have been WAITING for this song to appear on your channel! You are my favorite reactors & Creedence has always been a favorite of mine as well.... especially THIS song, it's just so darn much FUN! I'm in my 70's & have been loving this band from the very first listen way back in the 60's. I believe there is MAGIC sprinkled thru their songs! Any time you are feeling less than happy for any reason, just think of a creedence song, play it in your mind, & either get up & dance (whenever possible) or at least IMAGINE yourself dancing to the beat & absorbing the happy vibes. Works like a charm!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Amazing! Thank you 😊

[@jimideaton]

The first album I ever bought was CCR in 1970. I still love it as much as ever.

[@tootz1950]

I still listen to almost all the music you play. Heard it from it's start and I will listen with my last breath.

[@derekdamms7380]

I LOVED (CCR) WHEN I WAS YOUNG

[@paulkane7771]

This is on the Cosmos Factory album, full of so many great songs! I can still remember when I was about 15 years old (in 1972) and buying this vinyl album, and being so excited to take it home and play it on the family stereo (I didn't have one of my own). Great memories.

[@beverlymcgrath8441]

You are so right about the memories. I was only 10 when this was a hit. It always brings back a clear happy memory when I was riding in the car with my family. We were driving over the bridge to the beach house in Cape Cod. Happy times! And you are right that we American kids were blessed with extraordinary music throughout our youth. The music was always playing at home, in the car, with our friends. We even dragged it into our school cafeteria!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you. Amazing 😍

[@donaldduck2139]

am from New Zealand, and CCR was very big here back in the late 60s early 70s, always had their records playing from our lounge turned all the way up...like you say, is feel good music...would look outside and see someone walk past and having a little boogie to their songs 😅...coz we lived in small village and knew everyone ...so people there were fine with the loud music

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@ralphwheeler8534]

[@ToddSauve]

This song was on the first LP I bought when I was about 13 or so, "Cosmos Factory." Of course I loved it and rode my bicycle about 4 miles to the Eaton's department store to buy it. Many Canadians will remember that store, LOL! CCR was by far the most popular rock band on the Canadian prairies back in the late 1960s and early 70s, they were on the radio _all the time!_ 🎸🎸😆🤠💖💖💖

[@mylesstopmotionsandcats2482]

Cosmos and green river are my favorite albums, they just have such amazing songs, but then again... the other albums do too... now i love them all

[@jamesferris4573]

I still have their albums along with many, many others from the late 50s through the late 70s, and I listen to them regularly on my old Pioneer turntable with my old system. I will always believe that the way it sounds on the original album will always be the best. I love your reaction as always ❤️.

CCR also produced a southern rock ballad masterpiece: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" (composed by John Fogerty; included in the album 'Pendulum', 1970). BONNIE TYLER made a version of it and released it in 1983. ROD STEWART included this song in his 2006 album 'Still the Same... Great Rock Classics of Our Time'; note that his live performance is magnificent. Thanks.
