Max Frost And The Troopers The Shape Of Things To Come

This is Max Frost and The Troopers video of their hit song "The Shape Of Things To Come". Max Frost and The Troopers were a fictional rock group made up for the 60's movie Wild In The Streets. This was their big hit taken from the movie. The movie was about a young man named Max Frost who supports a senator played by Hal Holbrook. Max wants to lower the voting age to 14. He gets elected as president of the USA and ends up banishing all old people to camps where they are fed LSD. A campy type movie from the 60's.
As always my videos are in tribute to my late husband Mike Harrell. I love you. Amen.

Seen this movie when I was a kid and it SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME ! Saturday afternoon channel 5 movie (😂) , I of course didn't understand what was happening to the adults ,, when I got old enough for channel 5 late night movies , I thought, HOW BAD ASS ! ✊😃 I ALWAYS say to younger people , youth rebellion has always been and NEVER DIES , we just get older , and music and fashion changes ! God I can't believe I'm the one saying stuff like that now and I CANNOT STAND when someone young says to me "you don't know" .. only thing that's changed about me is my number in years !..

There's a new sun Risin' up angry in the sky And there's a new voice Cryin' we're not afraid to die Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb But nothing can change the shape of things to come There are changes Lyin' ahead in every road And there are new thoughts Ready and waiting to explode When tomorrow is today The bells may toll for some But nothing can change the shape of things to come The future's comin' in, now Sweet and strong Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long There are new dreams Crowdin' out old realities There's revolution Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb (But) nothing can change the shape of things Nothing can change the shape of things Nothing can change the shape of things Nothing can change the shape of things To come

[@eloiseockert9233]

I think the commercial may have been Target. The movie was in theaters Summer of '68 only lasted about 3 months. I think it was forgotten. Target in its commercial used the music w/o lyrics. I think it brought a resurgence to the movie as about a couple of weeks later it was being sold on Amazon VHS. Then people were requesting the movie on DVD. It took awhile...then before I knew it was on KZbin.

Christopher Jones as Max Frost. He made quite a splash in the late 60s-early 70s and then took a wrong turn like many others. He was touted to be the next James Dean and had the looks.

Aquel que sea de mi generación o cercano a ella, escuche las primeras notas de esta divertida, rockera y muy sesentera pieza y no remembre de inmediato a los tres monstruos de la comedia televisiva Mexicana de la época (y muy en particular el “harinazo” directo al ojo de Lechuga), simplemente no tuvo infancia feliz. La canción en realidad fue grabada por una agrupación denominada “The 13th. Power” y su públicamente atribuida interpretación a diverso grupo de nombre “Max Frost & The Troopers” es tan ficticia como la agrupación misma, la cual nunca existió. Esas ficciones se crearon para respaldar una obra fílmica de la propia época y la pieza se volvió una melodía de culto, quizás por su muy revolucionaria letra, muy típica de aquellos tiempos en los que se transitaba del hippismo hacia la protesta rebelde. “Nada puede cambiar la forma de las cosas por venir”, curiosamente una frase tan de aquellos días como lo es contemporánea, contemporaneidad que guardará por siempre, máxime la velocidad a la que hoy cambia la realidad.

Sr. Duclaud, el programa al que Usted alude era "Ensalada de locos" que se transmitía por el canal 2 (creo que en aquellos años setenta pertenecía a Telesistema Mexicano) y los tres genios eran Manuel "Loco" Valdez, Héctor Lechuga y Alejandro Suárez. Igualmente de recordar era "El show del Loco Valdez" que utilizaba temas de fondo como "Free" (bailando ese ritmo Jacqueline Voltaire) y "Happy ´cause I'm going home", del grupo Chicago; o cuando el mismo Valdez, bailaba muy peculiarmente "Jubilation", de Paul Anka. ¡Qué recuerdos tan padres!

[@JoseAntonioDuclaud]

@@franciscojaviergonzalezgue5189 recuerdos efectivamente inmejorables! Estaba consciente de que se trataba de “Ensalada de Locos” pero quise ser omiso como una especie de trivia. Recuerdo también Perfecto las grandiosas piezas que menciona y a las que bailaba el Loco en la introducción de su show televisivo. Mil gracias y saludos.

No fue harina en el ojo, fue un huevo. En una entrevista que le hicieron a Héctor Lechuga, contó lo que realmente ocurrió. Excelentes recuerdos!!

GREAT song by a group that never existed.

[@agb1953]

Most of the songs were done by Davie Allan and the Arrows. So a group did make the song. Just a group with a different name.

[@MrBuddGreen]

Nice job on this early hippie classic!

[@Tony1938]

Now there's a real life Max Frost running for Congress

Virtually all songs that hit the top 40 between Sept 7th to 21st, 1968 was along the psychedelic line. Fun days & memories. It wasn't a good time for the world but we had an escape and that was music.

[@RandyR]

Would take Vietnam an the chaos over the insanity of today. At least we were taking a stand an demanding change. Had more hope back then

[@Jpohlsc]

Randy R I thought the occupy movement was going to be the next stand but the media and cops squashed it quickly. People today have their head down texting and living on social media. By the tie they figure it out, it will be too late.

[@RandyR]

Our job is to wake them up. I am still protesting daily on line an signing petitions

[@RandyR]

Yes 1968 was close to a civil war in this country. People were fed up. In some ways, it is happening again. However a revolution must be a peaceful one. I Will keep fighting for change. Today is some bizarre dream most of the time

+Mark Muffs The world is worse now! Accept an progress or regress to the past!!

[@MrKenny1955]

And t.v.!!!!change is constant ...Always has always will be. a different World every day! in new Ways and ideas!

[@nangdlanangdla1843]

In Mexico this song is famous because an old comedian tv program made in the early 70's called: "Ensalada de locos"

[@Hendrixrides]

Saw this movie at 8 years old when my Dad was getting divorced at the time at the drive inn theater...it was kind of a overload on my system at the time. Loved later that Richard Pryor was the bands drummer.

[@TheZeplinfan]

I miss those days when you could get a divorce at the drive-in ....

[@analeegarciamoreira7542]

Esta canción la ponen en el programa de comedia Ensalada de Locos con el Loco Valdés Héctor Lechuga y Alejandro. Suarez

[@torito4927]

i remember this movie and song, in retrospected there is no campy in it, in fact by looking beyond the story is very revealing and now days not at all unrealistic.

[@greg33770]

From a good movie, "Wild In The Streets"(1968) it was groovy and out-of-sight !

[@greg33770]

@Scott Ragland LOL🤣 your too uptight man, i never took this movie as a serious movie, it's entertainment, you need to relax an enjoy life...peace !

[@jpozenel]

From what I have found on the interweb, Christopher Jones starred in the movie as Max Frost. Max Frost and the Troopers were a fictitious band and Christopher Jones was just lip syncing the song. The singer was actually Paul Wibier or Harley Hatcher with a group of studio musicians. I've heard both given credit so I'm uncertain who really sang it.
