FIRST TIME HEARING 10cc- "I'm Mandy Fly Me" & "Good Morning Judge" (Reaction)

[@retroreactions....]

More surprising flavors from this eclectic band...I'll try a bit of everything!! Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@joshuabell4599]

Brilliant song my favourite

[@graemehendry2328]

10cc! My first love in music in the late 70s. Kicked off when I borrowed Deceptive Bends from my uncle. The guitar solo at the end of Feel the Benefit Part 3 is my favourite of all time. It still makes me stop what I'm doing and let it wash over me whenever I hear it.

[@retroreactions....]

Hi Graeme! So happy to hear how much this band means to you and the memories you have with them. Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@stephanie.r382]

Im Mandy Fly Me was my introduction into rock music when i was 13 and It is on my list of "Desert Island" records that I would want with me if i was shipwrecked on an island and i could take 3 records with me! I absolutely love it. Its definitely worthy of your Platinum Record Award.......Thanks Brandon⭐️

Wow, so happy to hear how much you love that song! You're welcome and thanks so much for stopping by!

Ah yes, what a glorious song!

[@dougreed2257]

"I'm mandy fly me" 10cc 's best song!! And one of the best songs of the 1970's!!😊

[@retroreactions....]

Hey Doug! Glad you love this awesome song too! Thanks for tuning in! 😀

[@AirDOGGe]

My favorite is "Feel The Benefit". There is a great live performance video of it out there too.

[@JohnLRice]

OK, I can wait 15 more minutes before I make breakfast! 😅

[@retroreactions....]

Morning! Dinner time for me, but I'll probably knock out first haha... these 2 should brighten your "morning"...🥇

[@JohnLRice]

@@retroreactions.... "I'm Mandy Fly Me" was really cool, I'd never heard it before! Had me thinking of The Beatles, Todd Rundgren, and The Flower Kings?! "Good Morning Judge" was fun but not something I'd go out of my way to listen to (unless it's on Retro Reactions of course! 🤗) In addition to Aerosmith I heard hints of ZZ Top and The Monkeys!

[@79BlackRose]

@@retroreactions.... I am intrigued by what you are having for dinner Brandon. You have mentioned some very interesting selections in the past! 😋

[@retroreactions....]

An exhausting day and eve of editing and filming multiple videos. Knocked out for 30 minutes. Can't decide if I should eat or go back to sleep! If so, it will likely be lasagna haha....

[@retroreactions....]

Woohoo...pretty successful I'd say then!

[@AirDOGGe]

Their album DECEPTIVE BENDS is a gem worth acquiring. Good Morning Judge is track#1 on the LP.

[@79BlackRose]

10cc are putting on their musical buffet yet again. All four members were great, creative composers, vocalists and multi-instrumentalists. On "Judge", Eric Stewart sings lead with Graham Gouldman providing the lower vocals. Great little tune. "Mandy" is fun in a different way. Like passing round a sharing platter with you and your mates. Produced by them, too.

[@retroreactions....]

Lasagna it is! Thought you might like this vid 🙂 Such a unique and eclectic vibe with this band. Happy I now have them on permanent rotation here!

[@petertrotman7708]

Song writing/production Kings. The best Prog/Pop band in the world. Their songs always have something interesting going on. They throw as much as they can into a 3 & 1/2 to 4 minute Pop single like others would approach a 7 + minute Prog/Rock song. "Mandy" is one of my favourite songs period. Superb band.

[@retroreactions....]

Excellent point Peter. No wonder I love them already! Thanks for stopping by..

[@TONE11111]

"The Dean & I" and "Rubber Bullets" are my faves

[@mightyV444]

When I read 'Good Morning, Judge' in this video's title, my reaction was, "I don't know that one" - and then it turned out I actually did! 😄 I just hadn't known it was a 10CC song and had assumed it was by someone like Joe Walsh! 😄 Maybe also have a listen to their song 'Life Is A Minestrone' some time! 😊 Great shirt you're wearing, by the way! 😉👍

[@retroreactions....]

Hello! Sweet that you knew the song and today learned that it was from 10cc! Nice seeing you and thanks for dropping by!

[@mightyV444]

@@retroreactions.... - You're welcome, Brandon 😀👍 I think 10CC have been quite popular here in NZ, because several of their songs I'd heard on the radio of a former workplace 8 years or so ago without knowing at the time it was them! Including 'Good Morning, Judge', 'Rubber Bullets', 'Art For Art's Sake' (then misheard as 'Paparazzi' 😅), 'Wallstreet Shuffle' and also 'I'm Mandy, Fly Me' 😀 All I'd known consciously by them before hitting several reaction channels had been 'I'm Not In Love', 'Dreadlock Holiday' and (my favourite) 'Life Is A Minestrone' 😁

[@retroreactions....]

Perfect, what a great band!!

[@mightyV444]

@@retroreactions.... - They're pretty cool, yes! 😀

[@Isa_barchetta]

Sheet Music, a brillant 10 CC Album im sure youd Like it. Great reaction to a great Band

[@retroreactions....]

Hi Isabel! I hope to explore from all their albums! Thanks so much for watching and for the compliment 😊

[@louise_rose]

They were such a catchy band - like a seventies Beatles in many ways, both great songwriting, innovative and playful production, solid musicians and a great live act! Their 1977 live album is really great, by this time they had expanded to a six-piece band and the sound became beefier and even more colourful... :) "I'm Mandy Fly Mae" has a "dream journey" quality with the many vocal breaks and transitions, and it still feels like a unity. Always liked that one.

[@scifimonkey3]

4 singers who were also great musicians and all of them good writers meant that they had an overflow of good ideas and hence a brilliant range of musical styles often in the same song. Time I think for the rock opera prototype that preceded Queens Bohemian Rhapsody - ‘Une Nuit A Paris’ parts 1-3.!

[@retroreactions....]

Hello! It all makes sense knowing that. Adding your vote for the amazing Une Nuit, thanks bud!

[@ericjourdain892]

Thank you Brandon, I only knew about I'm Not In Love, which is wonderful. Once again you open my musical horizon! You are the best my friend, be well ❤

[@retroreactions....]

Now that's quite the song title! Will add it to my list, thanks!

[@richardfurness7556]

@@retroreactions.... Great song, but the lyrics include the 'n' word. Although it's used in a non pejorative way, I suspect that KZbin might not approve regardless of the context.

[@stevemurray7216]

I have a feelng that the "zither" guitar-like sound you mentioned in I'm Mandy Fly Me, may have been a "Gizmo" which was a guitar effect that was used instead of a pick/plectrum. This was a project from Godley and Creme, it never really took off. I may be wrong 🤔

[@retroreactions....]

Yea could be. Thanks for tuning in Steve!

[@SophiaPangloss]

2 excellent choices, I always felt Mandy was 10cc's most mature outing, real depth in sound and lyrics. You'll enjoy Clockwork Creep, it is possibly 10cc's *least* mature song on the surface, but then again it's a deceptive bend, they did a lot, give it a listen. You could actually stick a pin in their 3 'best phase' albums and come up with a great song. Good Morning Judge is a great wee song too, I only know the singles post-split but they were all good.

[@retroreactions....]

Hello! Happy to know you enjoy this band. I added Clockwork to my list, thank you 🤗

[@mightyV444]

@SophiaPangloss - Another fun 10CC song is 'Life Is A Minestrone' 😀 I think I have not yet heard 'Clockwork Creep' and will give it a listen 😉👍 *PS:* I have now, and wow what a quirky song, but also very good! 🤩

10cc were playing near me in Weymouth Dorset last week Oct 23rd, Only Graham Gouldman left from the original line up, but they are still going strong.

Too late for me….had to wait till breakfast time! Great to see you bring more 10cc!! They do have quite the variety of styles in their music! I did get to hear both of these live when I just saw 10cc in August. 😊 Halloween later today?? 🎃💀👻

Hey! Your reactions are very thoughtful, though they still feel rushed, as though you’re minimizing them. I for one, love your insights and encourage you to take more time describing what you heard and how it made you feel. You’re doing great, tell us more! These two tracks are from what I consider to be 10cc’s best 2 albums. Flawless, both of them, start to finish. Keep going! I’ll watch!

[@Kuesel68]

How Dare You is a phantastic album - ever single song is a journey of its own. I think you already did Don't Hang Up if I remember well. My favs are I Want to Rule the World and Rock'n'Roll Lullaby. But there are hardly any fillers on that album.

[@retroreactions....]

Great to know. I will add your votes for the last 2 you mentioned. Yes, I did DHU already. Thanks!!

[@lilybee2955]

Tasteful pop by a band with a terrific sense of humour: just my type of band! With their multi-faceted compositions, I can see why they are sometimes referred to as Prog Pop. “I'm Mandy Fly Me” is one of my favourites, along with the inescapable “Feel the Benefit” (maybe one day, when Brandon is in the mood for more Ten CC...😉)

[@retroreactions....]

Glad you love Mandy! Ah yes, Benefit and Une Nuit definitely are on "la courte liste"! 🥰

[@jornspirit]

...loved 10cc all the way through their career, and after the split, there were also very interesting albums by Godley & Creme as solo artists... these 2 songs are certainly fun, but they are just scratching the surface, being hit singles... their albums were top quality all way through, and there are a lot of deep cuts to savour, that didn't make the radio play... 😎

[@retroreactions....]

Oh my friend...now I want to hear all their amazing deep cuts!! I know I'm going to love many of them. Too much top tier music, too little time 😀

[@jornspirit]

@@retroreactions.... ...lovely! - maybe try some of the long ones... 'One Night in Paris Part 1-3', and 'Feel the Benefit 1-3' :)

[@retroreactions....]

Dave! Great to know they were your fave. I can see why. This vid is currently at the #2 spot, so I'm good with that hehe...Thanks

[@nonsuch]

Great songs. The album "Deceptive Bends" which has and starts with "Good Morning Judge", is brilliant from start to finish. It's their best album, IMHO and one you need to hear so, putting my vote in. "I'm Mandy, Fly Me" is one of the best songs from the previous album "How Dare You!" which is great too, just not as strong overall... again, IMHO. Honestly though, 10cc's first 5 albums (10cc to Deceptive Bends) are all great. They all have 4 .5 out of 5 stars everywhere.

[@retroreactions....]

Thanks for the guidance and for watching! Excellent music... 🙂

[@reneelyons6836]

First song has Supertramp vibes, with a dash of ELO, and a bit of mellow Styx(vocal harmonies are Styx-like)--yet unique. Prog pop. Nice way to begin the day. Second song--Lynyrd Skynyrd lite?! Weirdly good

Well, it wasn't "Feel The Benefit" - but that's perfectly okay with me. I love these 2 also and 10cc in general (obviously). You mentioned having lasagna. "Life is a minestrone - served up with Parmesan cheese. Death is a cold lasagna - suspended in deep freeze." The first two lines of the chorus of "Life Is A Minestrone". Leave it to 10cc to write a song which relates elements of our lives to elements of fine cuisine. Profound and absurd at the same time.

[@retroreactions....]

Don't worry, FTB is on the short list so I will eventually get to it! Haha, I guess all this 10cc chat last night subliminally led me to choose lasagna for dinner!! Profoundly absurd works for me!! Thanks for watching Joseph 🙂
