1971 was a magical year as it had amazing diversity in music. As a young child in that year I purchased soul, rock, blues, country, & this pop classic. I also bought Lobo's follow-up single, "She Didn't Do Magic", which is another amazing record. Lobo said it best: "How I Love Being A Free Man"

[@yvetteadshead4212]

I was just about to say that too

[@stemmentor9700]

Music was soo awesome back then. slap in the 8 track or buy an “Album” or 45. “Hi-Fi” music (High Fidelity). Good times. less headaches. 🤭

[@maryspaabeck2074]

This is before cell phones and Internet young people lived in their cars/trucks an went cruising on trips also a few communes an the hippie mindset still around IT WAS GREAT AND THIS WAS ON THE RADIO TURNED UP LOUD AS POSSIBLE!

[@ZitaZone]

Loved this group. My favorite was “I Love You To Want Me”

[@shyman99]

Not a group. Lobo is a solo act.

[@OldBoiler62]

"How Can I Tell Her"

[@yvetteadshead4212]

Its the 70's I think, every type of music known to man, we were spoilt

[@joeday4293]

Ha! That's one of our theme songs! My wife and I love to travel and camp, and she randomly nicknamed our dog Boo. On one of our road trips it occurred to me that I was going down the road with Me and You and a Dog Named Boo, traveling and living off the land, and just laughed out loud. She had never heard the song. It instantly became one of our anthems. It was at the top of our playlist when we moved cross-country and took two months and 5,500 miles to do it. One of our other ones is a ridiculous song with a great message: "You Can't Rollerskate In A Buffalo Herd" by Roger Miller.

[@thewickedchicken82]

I was around 10 when this song came out. It was always a thrill for me when I heard it, which wasn't often enough. We didn't gave an eight track in our old VW Bug. Just an AM radio. We had a turntable at home, But Mom and Dad controlled that particular device. Can you imagin that, kids? It was the record player, the radio, or nothing. Personal media hadn't been invented yet. Thanks for the great memory, MRM!

[@lethalweapon4052]

I,still say we had some of the best music back in the 70's. This was such a fun song

[@kimberlycaldwell3124]

My goodness I haven't heard this song in a long time! I was about 8 or 9 when this came out? 🤔 I love this song! It's simply about being free to go where you want to go, when you want to go, no ties. Sometimes, that sounds like heaven to me.

[@0013pokijo]

A suggestion...react to Indiana Wants Me.

[@Bandit77TA]

Could you please react to Johnny Nash - I can See Clearly Now.

[@djpaul146]

Or hold me tight Johnny nash

[@Mibular]

Hold Me Tight, I could listen to this on and on...

[@jackjohn81]

1980 I was barely 19 years old. Had just finished my 1st year of college. For $300 and gas, food and hotel money, I drove from Texas to Illinois to pick up a car for my cousin. By the time we pulled back into Texas that June morning, I knew every song on the Lobo's tape. Fantastic memories. I had forgotten. Thank you for that.

[@cbilky2914]

I can remember having a family group singfest in the car as we drove when this song came on..we were on our way from Ft Polk Louisiana to Fort Benning Georgia and had our dog in the station wagon,his name was ''fluffy'' for a boy..(My baby sister named him) and how funny afterwards saying how we should have named him Boo..LOL

[@marialeon4097]

lobo --- "i'd love you to want me" is my favorite song by lobo

[@russallert]

Summer 1972. Me and my family (I was 9 at the time) did a six week road trip across Canada and the US, and although this song was already a bit obsolete in terms of airplay, it popped up every so often on the radio throughout that trip. I remember hearing it in a restaurant at the (long since gone) Hagerstown Motel & Restaurant in Hagerstown, Maryland. I still think of Hagerstown whenever I hear this song, even though it was a few thousand miles from our home in Kamloops, British Columbia. It felt like a nice personable small East Coast town and summed up the best qualities of such towns all over North America.

[@me2nmineme243]

Reminds me of being happy. Being a kid. Wanting to take myself & my bf on a trip during the summer. Traveling, working when needed, just really enjoying a world outsidewhat's of our own. Boo's our friendly protector & in allegory, keeps us to what's now being on a summer road trip, feeling free, whole & happy...& to our home lives. The music, the happy beat, the lyrics all bring a wonderness of togetherness. Love this. Such a simple song to take us totally outside of ourselves the way it does! BOO❤🎼😉

[@darlatidwell9995]

The good 'ol days rolled into a song. I remember sitting at the park eating ice cream; swimming at the public pool; "goofy 60's dancing" to this song on my sidewalk with my childhood friends; Singing this out loud with friends going to the store to by icee's and candy; driving to the lake with family. I remember laughing, smiling, and being happier. A lot of good, good times....Good request, I had forgotten this gem from back in the days. Thanks Modern Renaissance Man. 👍

[@Bikebrh]

Do "Chevy Van" by Sammy Johns...another great driving song.

[@triadsamurai4556]

I gave a girl a ride in my wagon she crawled in and and took control she was tired cause her mind was dragin I said get some sleep and dream of rock and roll.

[@mikek5958]

@@triadsamurai4556 "...and like a princess she was laying there moonlight dancin' cross her hair she woke up and took me by the hand we made love in my Chevy van and that's all right with me..."

[@chab1rd155]

Yesssss!!!!

[@charliemare8363]

Another one of my favorites growing up in the 70's. The living free and traveling fantasy life. My mom moved us around the country a lot so traveling is in my blood. Songs like this always touch my heart. But alas, as I grew older I realized that this kind of life is not what I wanted. At 53 I have finally put roots down and my travels always bring me back home.

[@georgehinojosa5059]

The most under rated artist of all times. This came out when I was 13. Love it. Bought all his albums. All tracks are good. Two other good songs. Lobo - I'm The Only One Lobo - Rings

[@markkmiecik9797]

Another song that tells a story of part of the singer's life is 'Brooklyn Roads' by Neil Diamond. Simon and Garfunkel did one also called 'Lincoln Duncan', but I don't think it's based on either of their lives, but it's the same theme.

[@johnrice6793]

This came out - I was in Australia, had graduated from high school, Petersburg, Alaska. Bought a ticket, there a motorcycle, traveled for 9 months, picked tobacco, worked in the Outback. I hear this song I go back. It was (sans Vietnam) one hellofa time to be alive.

[@dianamenarchik9843]

this song is about being free from everyday restraints - its about freeing your mind - and just getting in the car or truck and see where the road takes you !

[@cessnaace]

My cousin and I lived several states apart back then (still do), but on one of the rare occasions that we saw each other we sang to this record, over and over again. To this day when either one of us hears this song we think of one another, and vice-versa. I think of her every day, so I hear thing song in my head every day. Weird but true.

[@leannmiller7153]

This just sent me back to our old hippi life. People drifting into our life, camping in our yard, sharing music and life.

[@pamelawatkins8972]

I bought the 45 at a target store for 99 cents. I used to go every week to check out all of the new stuff, sometimes I would go home with about 6 or 8 new records it was always fun. When you said road trip that brought up WONDERFUL memories of when I was about 15 years old and for summer vacation I went with my aunt and cousin and my grandma for a 2 week road trip. My aunt had planned out were we would go and what hotels to stay at. We saw Canada Mexico Texas Colorado new Orleans Mississippi, California , Louisiana just to name a few. THE BEST TIME OF MY TEEN YEARS. I went on another 2 week trip when I was 16 one of our stops was las Vegas we saw Elvis at the Hilton Hotel THAT WAS FANTASTIC! JUST THOSE 2 ROAD TRIP I SAW 32 STATES, I LOVED IT.

[@shyman99]

My single from KMart cost me .67 cents in 1971. Target was a few blocks away and their singles were also .67 cents. I wonder why your store was more expensive. Perhaps you lived in a huge city with higher prices.

[@dayzey40]

This song reminds me of summer, being young and going bike riding, swimming, and PB&J sandwiches. Hanging out with friends in the evening after supper, and watching for the street lights to come on, because thats when we had to go in. Good Memories.

[@stemmentor9700]

Weren’t those good times. “get outside and play and you knew when to come in. “the streetlight”. 👍.

[@lebenswasser4224]

In my last school year, English lessons were interesting. We had a young teacher who translated the current songs into German. This was one of them. A beautiful memory. Thanks for uploading.

[@lisablackburn7380]

His real name is Kent Lavoie, one of my favorites!! I forget where the name Lobo came from. He's such a nice guy, I did some research, found his email address and he actually responded to me and told me how much he appreciated my email to him!!

[@stemmentor9700]

That is kewl. i was just thinking of “is he still around and how can ya reach out to them. i don’t idolize people, but did enjoy his music and the great memories as a kid

[@deankmuncie]

I was 4 years old in 1971 and this just brings back memories of the easy going 70's. Someone else in the comments suggested Sammy John's Chevy Van, that's another from this time period that has very much the same free living feel to it.

[@rosiekitties]

it was a catchy toon you never forget the words takes me back to the 70s that i loved the clothes, shoes, hanging plants, my house today still has the look of that time i collect 70's pictures and oh yes ca't forget the bean bag my grandkids love it. I still have my music albums from then i took good care of them i still listen to them.....thanks for taking me back with this song.....God bless

[@dougnelsin1480]

It reminds me of my preteens taking long family trips in the the old Plymouth station wagon. My dad was a country fan but If he ever heard this song while surfing the radio dial he would tunel it in and turn it up. This would have been the early to mid 70s. My dad has been gone for a number of years now but this song always makes me think of him and how much i miss him. He sure did a lot to educate me and help make my life a better place.

[@stemmentor9700]

Can’t argue with a ride in the station wagons, riding in the back. older ones having the rear facing seat in the back (my grandmother had one, “scared the crap out of us with her lead foot. never a ticket “. 🤣

[@lilyliz3071]

1971 me and my best friend wandered around our town singing this nearly every day even though nobody would admit to liking it,unfortunately we lost touch some years later and I haven't been able to track her down since

[@stemmentor9700]

Great memories of my era in music. I did two cross country trips in my Navy days in between duty stations, some memories there, but most recently, after nearly losing my wife and her mom both to the virus 2 years ago, I had to deal with if it would be just me and my little dog -and i probably would have made a trip across the states to enjoy the beauty of the land God blessed us with. Lobo has some beautiful music. Blessings brother. I’m Christ alone, we place our trust. 🙏

[@1920Janice]

When I hear this song, it takes me back to the days of riding around with a car full of friends drinking Ripple wine. Some liked Boone’s Farm wine. We drank, had the radio playing, and joking around. Yes, it was dumb riding around drinking but boy do I have so many fun memories!!! ❤️🎵

[@stemmentor9700]

😂. Bones Farm and Thunderbird followed by “high end “Blue Nun”. oh crazy times. but good times

[@richardcase3786]

Your spot on. This is about living on the road as a hippie. A lot of hippies in the 70s drove vans and sold posters and beaded necklaces at Grateful Dead concerts or big music festivals to earn enough money for gas to get to the next concert.

[@dennisriblett4622]

You are right ,He was evoking the free love free life rolling down the road days ,That never really happened ...I remember Hippies coming out of San Francisco in the early 70s ,Breaking down here in the High Desert of Eastern Oregon and having to work off repairs to their rigs ,Some stayed ,And a few went Home or back to School . One stopped by the other day ,He just retired from Boeing in Seattle ,He was the best handtman this town had ever seen the summer He was here .

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

The song sounds to me like a guy who’s, maybe, settled down now with a wife and kids and thinking back to his younger days when he and his best buddy and his dog used to travel around and live the carefree life. And remembering the trouble they got into.

[@Leon-wz1js]

First time I heard this song, I was camping with my family. It seemed appropriate somehow. Most songs like this were mile--marker songs for my life. It wasn't necessarily a momentous occasion to remember, but this song takes me back to when my family was camping and traveling the upstate new york area (the finger lakes).

[@dreamsideout7831]

It captures a youthful free feeling of that time. Music was part of travel because you got it mostly from your car radio unless you could afford a fancy stereo.

[@jaynebuchanan4612]

You are a sweetheart, and though you try, you almost always miss the mark when you try and dissect our music. Sometimes a song is just a song. Sometimes it is sending a message. Sometimes! Remember the slogan of Bandstand. Does it have a good beat, and can you dance to it, was all you needed, once upon a time. Bless you.

[@TheSherylalbq]

Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s this was very much a hippie song and we loved it. Listening to it today sounds a lot different not bad but different. I think you need to have been back in the day to appreciate it.

[@woodyshelton7935]

I am eight years old with my friend sitting on the tailgate of my father's station wagon while he is getting a haircut. We two boys are singing this at the top of our lungs and laughing. I miss those days!

[@PlasticGirl65]

I love that song, was just singing it to myself yesterday.

[@sidmedina3444]

This song rings 70's...In my opinion this decade had the largest variety of music genre...

[@Bandit77TA]

Never heard this. The chorus and music actually sounds just like a song from the original Scooby Doo cartoon. I liked it.

[@TheZodiacz]

Used to hear it on the radio when I was a kid and for years i thought the dog was called "Blue , LOL.

I love Lobo and this song thank you for playing it

[@pennyprivate120]

My favorite Lobo song is, ring ring.

[@itsnotthesamething]

They got caught robbin' from an old hen? Then the farmer made them earn their keep. Was the old hen a chicken, or an old lady? Years ago, farmers would hire drifters to help with the farm work, not only to help the drifter, but to help themselves. These days, you can't trust people drifting about, so nobody is willing to hire a drifter, since they're probably an addict. I used to love this song, as a kid, because it was so cute. Now, I see these "cute" people as thieves, and don't like them. And I despise thieves. Now I wish I had never revisited this song I used to love, as a child. I didn't understand the words as much as I do now. Now I see they used cuteness to lie and steal their way thru life.

Loved this song! Would go around singing it all the time!

Was in my Datsun b 2 10 for what's worth. Yeah, parents bought it used. I was 14, 15 but that wasn't unusual back in the day. Would pick up my high school friends n head to Geronimo caves on the rez in the White Mountains of AZ. Am native American but had a super crush on this white boy. This song reminds me of him. To this day I wonder. ❤️ da 70's music.🙋

Oh my goodness, Ty, where's your sense of adventure? It was always my dream as a young woman growing up in the 60's to just get on the open road! But alas! I sold out and settled down had 4 kids in 5 years and that dream had to go!....or did it? I'm an old retiree now and looking to set out on that dream someday soon. Mind you, I'll need my creature comforts now, but I'm going to do it. In style!Adventure awaits!

[@lemhanback9595]

It was a long time ago when I first heard this one, so don't remember much other than I was driving lol. However this song reminds me of the carefree lifestyle I was living back then. Kind of miss those days to be honest.

[@LadyIarConnacht]

I completely forgot about this song. I was, I think, eight years old when it came out and I thought it was cheesy. I wasn't too into the hippie music but I loved the acid rock - even though I didn't take drugs and wasn't allowed to talk to hippies, lol

Great song from my childhood! I think this came out in 1971, give or take a year. By the way, whoever made that source video did a terrible job trying to sync the music to Lobo's singing. They would've been better off just using still photos with the lyrics superimposed.

It re minds me of the happy thoughts of fun road trips, dogs and freedom and freetime...i was probably 11 or so when this came out and i loved the free easy upbeat sound...they maybe sang the chorus once to any times though

Carefree Highway by Gordon Lightfoot...another great tune. Youre spot on on this review...easy goin song

[@wearinganapron]

Yes, it WAS about hippies, preferring to ride around seeing the country, living out of their truck, stealing eggs, working just enough for a tank of gas, etc. They would work short term, picking fruit, picking corn, etc, but didn't want a regular job, and above all, avoided "working for the MAN!" Might ride out to Nebraska and join a commune. Might ride up to Vermont and buy an old mill. Might get together with a few friends, and buy an old barn to live in. But wanted to remain free of schedule and obligations. I loved this song!, although I never wanted that lifestyle. : ) This video was wierd, though.
