TOO FUNNY!! First Time Hearing Foreigner - Dirty White Boy | REACTION

[@mzluna313]

I met my husband when I was 16 and kept him away from my family for awhile because I met him while drag racing and my folks thought I was hanging out at the library. My pops gave me a 72 Chevelle. What did he think I was going to do with it?? I eventually came clean when we all got caught drifting. My husband and I were together for 37 years and married for 31. He passed away in August of 2022.

[@SnuSlavin]

I'm there too....sorry for your loss but what great memories!

[@bretcantwell4921]

Loved reading this.

[@matthewkolp993]

Lou Gramm ( lead singer) spits some great lyrics. One of the best lead singers of his generation.

[@dennistyler9852]

He was a dirty white boy…

[@jas137]

When I was about 11 I had their album "Double Vision" and the first ever song I learned all the lyrics to and sang all the time was "Hot Blooded" which taught me the word: rendezvous- tough word for an 11 yr old dirty white boy growing up in Texas! Ha.

[@MugnifyRTS]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@bretcantwell4921]

I was 10 the month Double Vision was released and think I bought a single within a year. Thankfully I'm only a half-Texan dirty white boy so rendezvous wasn't a problem for me. 🤓

[@bella-xp7qd]

Lou lives around the corner from my daughter. When my daughter told her husband, he said I know he's one of my patients. He used to play at my high school dances when he was with Black Sheep.

[@allisterfiend_2112]

Foreigner was a hit machine - Juke Box Hero should be next.

[@randystalnaker6700]

Omg...such a great song!!!

[@WillCashem]

And after that, Urgent.

[@StephenBingham-kp2ld]

I always loved 'Midnight Blue' it was a solo by Lou Gramm

[@debratroeak77]

lol 😂 He looks so proud of himself 😂😂

[@randystalnaker6700]

Omg!!! I was 17 going on 18 when this song came out! Good Good Memories

[@lightningbug276]

Me too lol Wish I still looked like I did then 😂

[@CliveAdlam-yn8uz]

@@lightningbug276 Don't we all like to look 40 years younger .It's what's within , forever young .God Bless.

[@StephenBingham-kp2ld]

Me too. I am now in a nursing home listening to this, it will never grow old, some of the best music in the world!

[@StephenBingham-kp2ld]

I think that it may have been a song to make 'dirty white boys' feel comfortable being a 'dirty White boy'!

[@rhinno1969]

DWB , my favorite Foreigner song 👍 my 2nd favorite is Head Games 😉

[@wadefryer7899]

My favorite Foreigner song

[@paulettelamontagne6992]

lol im replay gang.this goid one

[@razzledazzle8631]

I came back from the Vietnam War and first met my beautiful black wife in 1971. In the 1970s, interracial dating was not accepted on either side. We got married and raised 3 very succesful girls into adulthood. She loved this song. RIP baby. We love you.

[@bretcantwell4921]

Love this. ❣️

[@charlesdavis7461]

Foreigner was a super group.

[@Festus171]

Great reaction! I remember when it hit, classic rock! The previous album "Foreigner" had some tunes that really pushed the threshold of stereo channels. I had a "quadrophonic" stereo in my room 🙂and I would love how the different instruments would present from each speaker differently or not at all. I'm a little biased, because I preferred those early albums to their older stuff, cuz it was more raw.

[@bugvswindshield]

Juke Box Hero ! Great song. This band was hella hot back in the day.

[@paulettelamontagne6992]

I was 12 in 1979 in the rock and roll smoking reefer a dirty white boy was just a rebellious kid that smokes drove a fast car and listen to rock and roll

[@StephenBingham-kp2ld]

I was 16 years old in '79. I just got my license and a fast car, it was a 69 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ 400 cid. 4 barrel with dual exhaust with the turbo 400 automatic transmission. I bought it from my brother-in-law for $200, it was my own money I had been working at a Amoco gas station for $3.25 per hour. What's kind of crazy is that we got out of school at '4:20' but since I was a good student, I applied for and got out at 1:20. I had to be at work by 2:00 Had not started smoking cigarettes or reefer yet, but after I graduated in '81, it was on! I would love to go back. But I have some great memories, thank GOD for it all! Of course I had the 8-track of Foreigner and blasted this song every day!

[@timothyharrington5128]

As white high schoolers living in a working class poor city, my friends and I loved this song. I didn't think of it as a racial statement, but more of social class song. We hated rich suburban kids driving dad's fancy cars and acting superior

[@greatwhitewolf8465]

Used to play this on stage when I was 17. Waiting for a girl like you by Foreigner is good too

[@lightningbug276]

Yes!

[@glennhayes9376]

You're Awesome Mugs! Enjoyed this one

[@EarlBeasley-y4p]

Cheers friend.

[@CJ-Fischer]

How about Play that Funky Music White Boy 😅 late 70’s early 80’s we had long hair, drank and smoked we were teenagers and didn’t give a shit…we where dirty white boys 😂

[@moniqueleroux2198]

This is actually a very solid band with a great vocalist!

[@supernaught6733]

Love the reaction! Glad you like the song, been one of my favorites since it came out!

[@johncollins1177]

I am 59yo. I saw them live back in the day. 1982 at reunion arena in Dallas Tx. It was a great show. It’s kinda crazy, we didn’t think about racial differences, he was just singing great lyrics. The world has become so sensitive.

[@bretcantwell4921]

As a Dallasite since '93, I love that.

[@jas137]

Foreigner and Tom MacDonald mashup incoming: Dirty White Boy Summer

[@MugnifyRTS]

Lol that would break the internet

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I believe Gramm has said this song was about a figure like Elvis Presley, who would have been viewed as a "dirty white boy" by an older generation when he first started breaking...

[@aaronwilkerson7100]

Brother, Absolutely loved your Honesty and Genuine Thoughts and reactions! You are extremely well read! I’m subscribing

[@MugnifyRTS]

Welcome aboard!

[@kevinmarker-cz3bx]

Sir..I'm a white man who loves soul sista..I'm used to being a dirty secret..can I get an amen?

[@shannonturner8337]

One of my favorite songs ever. I'm 56 and as a teenager I considered this my theme song

[@R777-RLM]

Great reaction, Mugnify. Funny, I'd heard this on the radio without registering what was actually being said. You've got to laugh at yourself, once in a while.

[@kristoferbatdorf2873]

I was a dirty white boy, long hair, leather jacket, earring, into rock n roll, played in a band, would get in fights "if I had to" I never really drank or smoked weed or anything like that, but I was a bad boy, alot of parents didnt like me, but alot of their daughters did. Nothing wrong with bein a dirty white boy.

[@BoxerRick]

You sound like me. My Mom would tell me and my Brothers we looked like Hoodlums. 😂😂 but the girls we knew liked it

[@ezed3902]

Good one Mugnify!

[@EvanWeber1234]

That's one of their best song to be honest, great band

[@EvanWeber1234]

shit this is a banger from back inthe day

[@BoxerRick]

You got it baby! This is just a straight bad boy song. Justfull of youthful rebellion against anyone who dont think youre good enough. This is a everyman song.

[@dl00076]

Absolutely 😂

[@ArlynMeylan-jo7hq]

Great music from a better time cool beans. 😊😊

[@Sirala6]

Rock and roll should be fun, light, and catchy.

[@tiawarren5403]

Banger!❤

[@SueKay-rq1lr]

Lou (the lead singer), and Mick (guitar player) are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Hopefully, the original members will get in the Hall of Fame in 2024.

[@EvanWeber1234]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lightningbug276]

Love “ I Want To Know What Love Is “

[@Booderman]

Can’t believe this is your first Foreigner reaction! They killed the 70’s & 80’s ! Check out Jukebox hero ! Thx !

[@waltinabinet8134]

Check out their "Urgent". Killer sax solo.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

We are proud of it, I've been pushing for Dirty White Boy month, what's up? as they became bigger stars, they changed the lyrics about movie stars.

[@grahamokeefe9406]

Foreigner's "Double Vision" album was one of the first I ever owned. Also, Gramm looks high as hell. ' Frank Zappa called these kinds of songs "body commercials".

[@timsterrockstar]

"Dirty White Boy" is a song recorded by British-American rock band Foreigner, written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones, and produced by Roy Thomas Baker, Jones, and Ian McDonald. It was the first single taken from the band's third studio album, Head Games (1979).Jones has claimed that the song was about Elvis Presley, adding that "he always was that dirty white boy who changed the shape of music completely. It was talking about the kind of heritage that he left, and I think that had an effect on all the musicians that came after, like Mick Jagger - he was also a dirty white boy. Elvis paved the way for all that."[1] However, some listeners misinterpreted the song as a "crypto-racist statement."[2] Gramm said of the controversy it's "a song about an irresponsible kid, not a racial song."[3]

[@StephenBingham-kp2ld]

We didn't think a lot about that race crap back then, seems like you can't talk many words today without being called a racist, it's just wrong!

[@fideauone3416]

I don't know what it is either but I love it.

[@ClaudeGregg-w2c]

This song is about Elvis

[@PaulHilburger]

In this case, dirty means horn dog

[@H46_2]

Enjoyed, good reaction. #ToolArmy

[@mt3311]

I liked who I liked, and if the rest didn't approve, I didn't care. I did my own thing.

[@Cchan53]

They had soooo many great songs!

[@larryhatfield1588]

Yup, turned out she was married !!

[@davidrodenkirk5561]

Not to mention "The Tubes" white punks on Dope.

[@RockinMamaT]

Double vision is one of my favorite LPS of all time ❤ Juke box hero is a must my friend. Peace out ✌️ ☮️

[@sherriewheeler-ml9pr]

1972 David Bowie, Starman..(funny at the very end of video ,Where he's Waving goodbye,..Funny rewind video 3-4 time's, just the part where hes waving ,Walking off Stage..(smiling)

[@EarthWalker2023]

🔥

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

I always thought he was pointing out that he was a DWB because the girl he's chatting up is not dirty or white.

[@markcosenza3274]

I'm a DWB!😂😂

[@ljre3397]

I must say I never listened to this before and laughed so hard. When it came out I don’t think it was controversial at all. Your reaction was fun.

[@paulthompson6873]

Their catalog of music is extensive. You would be doing yourself a favor to listen to more. Juke box hero, Cold as ice, Urgent, and Waiting for a girl like you are just a few. Trust me.

[@MugnifyRTS]

If there is a big enough want for an album review I'll do one

[@TheMichaelseymour]

what would be the opposite to this song "clean black man " ???

[@southernbella6535]

Aside from the title , Foreigner was a rocking band with great harmonies , awesome sound. Their lead singer was just damn good ! music wise, this song had that rock back beat that kept you dancing :) The 80's were a different time, didnt care about the title just the meaning. PLEASE keep listening to more Foreigner , so many great songs . Great reaction, keep it up love your channel :)

[@kdm71291]

I don’t think it was inspired by the other song.

[@mrichards2211]

😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥

[@sailor213100]

Hot Blooded, next song from them

[@headofamonster]

Oh man, you’re cracking me up!! Good stuff. 😂😂 I think it’s more tongue in cheek than trying to be outright funny. Even maybe just a simple self analysis? I don’t know. This tune rocks and I’m an old dirty white boy! 🤣

[@MugnifyRTS]

Exactly! Other comments trying to ruin the vibe

[@correctlyrics]

Awesome choice, Mug. Not the song .. I mean, turning your mic on. 🤪 Joking...great song. Other big songs are... "Cold As Ice" "Juke Box Hero" "Urgent"

[@MugnifyRTS]

Hush 😂😂😂 no more silent reacts

[@lelandcross9092]

No he is not being funny! I was 17 in 1979! Girls didn't like the goodie two shoes! They liked a little bad boy in them!

[@charlesdavis7461]

Mugs, that was a mistake by me so I'll live with it. Thanks for the honesty.

[@MugnifyRTS]

Charles why you apologizing?

[@knuteboy3778]

I don't know if they were trying to be funny. Perhaps they were being a bit tongue-in-cheek. Probably the truth is someone just said Im a dirty white boy and someone thought oh man that would make a good song title and they built this around that title. They probably knocked it out real quick doesn't sound like a song they mulled over a long time. It's just a simple blues infused rocker.

[@lelandcross9092]

What would be funny at. Karaoke you would sing this song!

[@willieboy3011]

Nothing Weird Al about it. "White Boy" is a racial slur. Here he is embracing the term just like some embrace other terms.

[@bronsongetseven7326]

So you're getting al Yankovic vibes from this tune....I'm getting strong idiot vibes when I hear you talk. And all you can do is laugh and make fun of a classic. And I don't care if you cleaned it up in the end. The first things out of someone's mouth....are usually the truth.

[@MugnifyRTS]

I had fun watching and reacting to this. Don't mess up the energy bro

[@ratdad48]

Talk way too much.

[@bronsongetseven7326]

UNSUBSCRIBING

[@donaldwillis2267]

He's viewed as such, might as well play with it

[@kurterickson9781]

Dirty white boy was the opening track on the album "Head Games". "Nuff said what the album had instore.
