FIRST TIME HEARING The Bellamy Brothers - If I Said You Have a Beautiful REACTION

[@kevinssmokehouse]

I can honestly say that this was an actual pick-up line in the mid to late 70s and early 80s. As matter of fact the line was around before the song! The Bellamy Brothers were the only ones who could take such a crass pick-up line and make it into something beautiful!

[@RobChilds-gl2wp]

I was in high school when this song came out, and yes, we used that line. Most of us grew up, though! I don't usually like country but these guys are my favorite country band. Off the same album is I AIN'T JUST WHISTLING DIXIE. That could be your next BB song.

[@helenchristie6530]

Guys still try it!

[@MrsColumbo823]

Very true. If I had a dime…

[@victoriataylor6741]

This song is bittersweet for me. It's one of the 1st songs my girlfriend & I said was "our song". We were together 43 years. She passed away in April of this year. This is the hardest thing I've ever gone thru. She was such a wonderful person. The most caring & selfless person you could know. I miss her terribly, but thank you for playing this great memory.

[@beedeegee9374]

Please accept my condolences.

[@faithnyou1732]

So sorry for your loss. 🙏💙🙏

[@williamjackson3617]

I am so sorry for your loss. 7:44 ! I get so depressed I am 66 years old and I have one older brother and he is 77 years old. I can not help myself but thinking how much longer is he going to be around. My brother name is Charlie Jackson and he has way out lived anyone else in our family. I also have a older sister she is 70 but she has a lot of health issues. I am 66 I have had open heart surgery and 15 years ago I am just had surgery to remove a polyp on my upper intestine. Thank goodness 😅 it wasn’t cancerous. I have lost 5 other older brother.Of course I lost both of my parents back in 1995. But I had lost two of my brothers even before my parents passageway. My Wife is 70 and I worry about her getting sick. She has health issues. I know that I sound very very stupid but I have lost so many people that I love. I just lost a brother about 3 years ago and I just lost a nephew a little over a year ago. My nephew was the son of my brother who just passed.They both had cancer ♋️ and I lost my mom and another brother to cancer ♋️. I pretty much think about all of them every day. I just find it so very hard to believe that I only have one brother and one sister left living. 7:44 !

[@williecoulter1091]

Yeah lost hubby after 44 years and this song bring back memories, it's been almost 5 years since his passing still having trouble moving forward.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Lots of good stuff from the Bellamy's. Red Neck Girl, Get into Reggae Cowboy, Kids of the Baby Boom, Dancing Cowboys and one of my faves You Ain't Just a Whistling Dixie. All worth a listen.

[@colleenquirk402]

You Ain't Just A-Whisling Dixie is my absolute favorite song of theirs, and probably ranks in my top ten by anyone! 💕

[@gregrowe1168]

When I’m away from you I think was their best song.

[@CardiacCat]

Oh the old double entendre. Haha. I remember when this first came out and people laughing at the double meaning. Cleaver, fun and a little naughty.

[@markalumbaugh2756]

Completely agree with you. The double meaning was my first reaction

[@richardhenderson9767]

Do You Love As Good As You Look is awesome by The Bellamy Brothers

[@hellokimmy68]

I LOVED this song when I was little and always went around singing it. I had no clue what it actually meant. Ah, the innocence of childhood.

[@alleykeosheyan4779]

OMG, your parents must have had the most quizzical looks on their faces, that's so funny!

[@hellokimmy68]

@@alleykeosheyan4779 My mom had the album and she and my aunt loved this song so much. I'm sure they were cracking up with me singing it. I'd have been about nine or so, I guess, so not a little kid, but definitely not very worldly. Hah!

[@erikrichards5072]

The title is a Groucho Marx line

[@bobbuethe1477]

My favorite Bellamy Brothers songs are "Dancin' Cowboys" and "Get Into Reggae, Cowboy."

[@albradley9050]

Bellamy Brothers actually have a bunch of songs in the genre. Sugar Daddy, and I’d Lie to You are a couple of my favorites.

[@caz1385]

Every time I tune in to see you guys, I’m always happy with the song choice. It’s like going back in time, I hear songs that remind me of my parents who have both passed. So many snippets of past moments.

[@carygillespie681]

Do you love as good as you look is another great song by them.

[@briangimbel1069]

This line got me slapped in a bar. Great, classic sound from the era.

[@jillosler9353]

Love The Bellamy Brothers! Their saucy but not offensive lyrics always bring a smile to my lips - and as a woman, they sing lines I'd love to hear!!!

[@bobbuethe1477]

In the early '80s I lived less than a mile from Belmont Park Racetrack in NY. Once a week in the summer months, they had free outdoor country music concerts after the last race. I got to see the Bellamy Brothers and lots of other great acts: Bobby Bare, the Gatlin Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Paycheck, and more.

[@Daetalus67]

These guys live on a 200 acre cattle/horse ranch in Darby Florida, about 10 miles from me. They have been making hits since... I guess the first I remember would go back to the 1970s.

Shania Twain had this song as an inspiration for play on words when she wrote Man,I feel like a woman. Jay will love that tidbit

This was always a great one! 😊Bellamy Brothers were great!

[@justafreethinker]

Massive, massive hit for the Bellamies. Everyone love the double meaning of the song. It was a number 1 song on the Billboard Country Chart for quite a bit if memory serves.

[@Rosiepooh75]

I love the double entendre in "would you hold it against me"... 😁

[@baird5776mullet]

Dolly Parton said this was one of the greatest country songs ever written and performed.

I have met the Bellamy Brothers at the Craven Jamboree . They are amazing they are so sweet and down to earth I have nothing but total respect for them. I was staff working back stage VIP were are the artists are. We were not suppose to get star struck or ask for pictures they had a place set up for the concert goers to take pics they were so nice they allowed us to take pics of us with them I have the pics somewhere.

The Bellamy Brothers had one of country rocks best steel guitar performer. There was a ten year stretch late sixties and early seventies where there was cross over hits going both directions.

[@user-bz7fg1pk4lbo7]

They started off with a Pp Hit back in the 70's "Let Your Love Flow" that was featured in movies and was an extremely big radio hit at the time. But in the 80's and 90's they moved more into Country and found great success there.

[@annnorway9042]

[@raymondohlsen5054]

I can remember that EVERY place that had a jukebox had this song on it, and played it OFTEN! I have used that line often, when pretending to be cheesy jerk! LOL!! The BEST pickup line to use is, simply, "Hi, my name is ....." Starts a conversation anyway.

[@joeyrobison6629]

Interesting to see a list of what your "river music" songs are so far.

[@sheilaakridge4944]

The Bellamy Brothers ft John Anderson- No Country Music for Old Men is a good one.

[@lefty3141591]

Reggae Cowboy is one of theirs that I think you'll enjoy. Great reaction. For story telling I'm going to suggest Tom T Hall's "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died".

[@TracyfromNC]

Quite a few country singers incorporate island vibes and island love into their music. TRY Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet singing Its 5 0" clock somewhere and especially Kenny Chesney singing No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem. Buffet is the king of island music as well. And Jack Johnson is spectacular for it as well, since he lives in Hawaii...his song Banana Pancakes is sweet and great for kids, too ..and he has much more. I love all the diversity of country, pop and how they incorporate island music.

[@DannyCheek]

If I'm not mistaken,I think that 1990s-era country singer Clay Walker has a song called "Then What?" that has island-music vibes.

[@tkcurtis1725]

There's a garage about 15 minutes from where I live, in Northern Kentucky, that's closed down. There's been an old, run-down Bellamy Brothers tour bus sitting behind it for about 10 years or so now!!!

"They Could Put Me in Jail" is another good classic Bellamy Brothers song that played on the radio some back in 1980 or 1981

[@helindove2237]

This is a classic sing-along song! I always thought he would say that to his wife years later, at an unexpected moment, to act a little silly, and to provide a spark to keep a good marriage going. Something along the lines of my thoughts: Billie Jo Spears “Blanket On The Ground”. A country song from 1975.

You need to listen to Angels & Outlaws Vol.1 where they sing their hits as duets. This one they sing with Dolly Parton, a great version with Dolly being Dolly and improvising lines thru out the song. The Bellamys are still touring, they're all over the place. They did a European tour last summer and are constantly playing somewhere. They do a lot of charity gigs around here on the Florida gulf coast as they live like 20 miles away. They have their own street too, Bellamy Brothers Blvd in Dade City.

[@dalekarraker6851]

"Whistling Dixie" and "Dancing Cowboys" are both classics. In more recent years they had a more fun song called "Tell your boobs to stop looking at my eyes". And maybe their best in 20 years: "No Country Music Music for Old Men".
