"O LUCKY MAN!" TITLE TRACK

Alan Price sings the title track of the Lindsay Anderson film "O Lucky Man!"

[@MimeSwiper]

It was one of the very few British movies dubbed into Russian and shown in the USSR. Probably because it painted a very scary picture of life in the West. This film was indicative of the shift from the earlier moral criteria towards the demoralization in the arts of the 1970s. But for us, Soviet kids, it was a window into the free world, with some decent rock 'n' roll accompaniment to boot.

[@irulik]

Right you are!

[@user-ht5rw9oi3m]

А фильм - теперь классика. Всегда актуален!

[@AustraliaRealEstateMobi]

One of the greatest songs ever written, from one of the greatest soundtracks ever written. Genius.

[@jerryfeigelson4728]

indeed!

[@user-ld8rp5qt4x]

Yes, he was the winner ...by his soundtrec!

[@SergeGolikov]

I saw it on it's release, I still have the vinyl album of the movie soundtrack

[@Zedwoman]

Still one of my favorite films of the era and Alan Price one of my favorite singers. This song has changed meaning for me as I've grown older and continue to be alive. Kudos!!

[@withlotsabutta]

Zedwoman It DOES change in meaning, doesn't it? At one time I only focused on the odd-man-out aspect,; then, later in life, I focused on the economics and power structure and culture class aspects; still late, I focused on the longing and romance aspects. It continue to deepen and maybe even darken in scope and meaning with each viewing.Thank you for your wonderful comment!

[@chrisbacos]

It is now my theme song. Sadly a movie like this in 2019 would never sell. The world's population has been dumbed down too much.

[@SergeGolikov]

I still have the vinyl album of the movie soundtrack

[@changingnames83]

Fabulous film and soundtrack, so glad they finally released it on DVD. Blew me away when I first saw it in the early 70s.

[@esportswomen]

Top 100 Songs Of All Time. Alan Price = genius.

[@TheEyeLab]

One of my favorite movies and soundtracks.

[@user-hp8wb1ox1c]

Первый фильм в СССР, где можно было взглянуть на зарубежных музыкантов, а не просто слушать их по "Голосу Америки". Браво!!!

[@user-ht5rw9oi3m]

Помню в юности смотрели мы фильм во 2 - й раз в Одессе... Август 1975...

[@user-pw1zu2pd3w]

Из-за этой музыки я просмотрел этот фильм разов десять, и было мне 15… Память осталась на всю жизнь…

[@alexkurenkoff]

Замечательный фильм, потрясающая актерская работа и, конечно, запоминающаяся музыка!

[@cacampbell3654]

Thank you so much for posting this great performance of Alan Price and accompanying musicians! I loved this film when it came out. Saw it first in 1973 in Ontario, then again in '74 in Saskatchewan. Would so love to see it again now in 2015!

[@jeremiah123z]

Fun tidbit: The worried-looking fellow who saunters over to Price is director Lindsay Anderson.

[@Krasim765]

I saw this film for the first time when I was quite young, and the scene where he discovers the pig in bed completely freaked me out :) And then came the song, probably responsible for getting me interested in ,music, so simple and uncomplicatted........still love it today,

[@Haskaybay]

The same thing happened to me with the pig scene, it haunted me for years LOL! 🐷

[@mandolinrory]

At age 64 I can still sing each and every word.

[@jondoe8889]

I just started the song, and the sound was off. I could clearly hear the first 2 chords he was pounding out!

[@questionauthority7377]

Mandolin Rory you’re fucking terrific

[@jeffloewi5632]

76 here, still know every word some 50+ years later.

[@carolynzaremba5469]

71 and still singing.

[@chrisbacos]

The song resonates with how I feel about life. It's my theme song.

[@jeffloewi5632]

I spent a year in England between 1962 and 1963 and I'm pretty sure this song was often on the radio. In any case Mandolin Rory I'm 76 and still know every word.

[@NoiseSwarm]

love this song...... words to live by

[@tarotaro31]

Great movie, Cool music

[@alankatz7789]

Great movie too!!!

[@geraldineclarke5434]

The first day I ever got to London, I wandered into a theatre showing "O Lucky Man" and it was a great way to start being introduced to London. (And that night I saw Peter Cook and Dudley Moore on stage in "Behind the Fridge". It was a great day.)

[@kellyb.mcdonald1863]

I have to pinch myself!!! We can all be grateful for the existence of this song, and the entire soundtrack!!! I'm 59 years old, and in 1973 I was a mere 10 years old when this movie came out but I didn't know of the movie's existence until 5 years later, when I saw this movie!!! I always think to myself I was 10 years old when this movie came out, and it will stick with me like glue for all time!!! it has endeared itself to me eternally.

[@outmatrix8881]

The film was allowed to be shown in communist Poland just to show the evil of capitalism but contrary to their intentions it became the glorification of western freedom and lifestyle in the eyes of young people. The song is outstanding and is a part of the set of my favourite music, mostly old rock songs.

[@user-yu1yz6qk1g]

capitalism is destroying the planet

[@ulture]

@@fscarp nah

[@carlos412]

This movie quickly became one of my favorites. I think I like it even more than a clockwork orange which is fantastic as well. Never see anyone talking about this movie ever, quite forgotten, those who have seen it can consider themselves lucky, most people will walk and leave this earth without ever even hearing about this film

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Somewhere on You Tube is a lovely Malcolm Mc Dowell chat, (NEVER APOLOGIZE) where he talks about this movie...

[@christopher242424]

Once again you will need to excuse me for my ignorance but this another of the 100000000001 movies that are on the list of "movies that I had never heard about before in my life". The cast and the song are very good. If I have the chance, I will try to find this movie.

[@safetystephen]

christopher242424 Do. It's a life changer. Peace.

[@carolynzaremba5469]

This is a major movie. See it if you can.

[@exunazares]

A great film and a great soundtrack!

[@shumer012]

[@kevinmcgovern4459]

Sarcasm detecter bleep alert there

[@Karlopapa]

Simply put, outstanding!

[@GrtSatan]

Once in a great while you have to curl your fist in a ball and shout to the world that this is a great fucking song.

[@MaidenUtah1]

If you get your groove after clickin' onto the 'Tube, THEN YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN

[@withlotsabutta]

Я думаю так же.Производство класс и фильм слишком мало людей знают о. Спасибо за ваш комментарий!

[@WalterPaulKomarnicki]

an outstanding movie, but it seems the music and words are far better than the movie itself!

[@jeremiah123z]

Such a brilliant intro to such a brilliant film. Side note: the man who anders over mid-song is director Linndsey Anderson

[@paschal421]

If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely - You are a lucky man! if you`ve found the reason to live on and not to die - You are a lucky man! Preachers and poets And scholars don`t know it, Temples and statues And the steeples won`t show it, If you`ve got the secret Just try not to blow it - Stay a lucky man! If you`ve found the meaning Of the truth in this old world - You are a lucky man! If knowledge hangs around your neck Like pearles instead of chains You are a lucky man! Takers and fakers And talkers won`t tell ya, Teachers and preachers Will just buy and sell ya, When no one can tempt ya, With heaven or hell - You`ll be a lucky man! Takers and fakers And talkers won`t tell ya, Teachers and preachers Will just buy and sell ya, When no one can tempt you With heaven or hell - You`ll be a lucky man! You`ll be better by far To be just what you are You can be what you want If you are what you are - And that`s a lucky man...

Если у тебя есть друг, Которому решил ты доверять То ты счастливый тип Если ты нашел себе причину чтобы жить,не умирать То ты счастливый тип Ни поэт ни ученый ни пастор не знает Ни стены ни храмы ответ не скрывают И коль знаешь ты секрет Не дай ему сойти на нет И будь счастливый тип Если понял ты, что значит правда на земле То ты счастливый тип Если эта мудрость не ведет тебя к петле То ты счастливый тип Вруны, болтуны эту правду не любят Наставники лишь продадут вас и купят И коль не прельстит тебя рай или ад Везде ты будешь рад Ты точно сменишь к лучшему себя, коль быть решишь собой Каждый может стать кем хочет, и горазда лучше это стать тобой Стать как счастливый тип О да Счтасливый тип

[@Ivan-pn8eh]

Dirigida por Lindsay Anderson, uno de los directores más representativos del movimiento Free Cinema, ésta película surrealista es una alegoría a las trampas del capitalismo.
