Oh my God i found it! MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SOLEY SOLEY REACTION

[@davidhughett6081]

Sally is so beautiful, and has a wunnerful voice. Great song!

[@Professor-IC]

My favorite song by Middle Of The Road. Very infectious .

[@TheMishka11]

Wow the 70,s when girls had natural beauty with no tattoos. This takes me back to great times never to be seen again. Harri I know what its like to come across a song from times gone by. Love your channel because I know you are into your music from all different decades.

[@davy_K]

We must be same age approx. It has a real fuzzy nostalgia this one...soundtrack of my childhood stuff. You can just bathe in this one...sounds gorgeous. I noticed that drummer too ... he is like that in every video so its just his style.

[@1954Antony]

Listened to this as a child, my mum had it on a 45. I've always liked it.

[@BrianMarcus-nz7cs]

Wot woz on the B side plz 🙊

[@kf9346]

Wanna know how I ended up here: Middle of the Road's "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" was in the backgound of a vieo and I recognised that song from signing it withmy mum in the car when I was like 6! I swear I only heard it 2 or 3 times, never since then in the 70s. As soon as I heard it, had the same reaction as you. Then I started seacrhing moe of their songs, I recognise "Soley Soley" from my childhood as well! Music is an amazing thing.

[@dtbrjlmd]

Ah, you are nostalgic. So am I. I am always trying to find music, clips of variety shows, snd movies I grew up hearing due to my parents

[@andy.mwinner2378]

she looks like the Girl by ABBA ...nice Song ..my Youth

[@StereoSound...]

As a child I confused the song by The Mamas & The Papas - Monday Monday with Soley Soley from Middle Of The Road. Both had heard very few times that I thought they were the same songs.

[@lindabrewer3243]

I have never heard this song or this band.....quite unusual for me. I am so glad you found it.

[@ozman9353]

Im so happy for you Harri. It's wonderful finding songs that have escaped us most our lives.

[@psilvers100]

You know, sometimes synchronicity happens. You were meant to find this song at that particular time! I love this group because among other things, I do consider myself Middle of the Road. lol

[@wendyryder2708]

Thanks for reacting to this Harri! I think I was about 14 or 15 when this came out! I’d forgotten about it! Beautiful song! LOVE your channel! Stay safe! Greetings from Australia!

[@bigjay123]

Sometimes you find smthng you havent seen/heard in 30 yrs and forgot about.

[@1968hipster]

I love this and remember it well. My surname is Soley.

[@compostcorner5934]

Harri I was 10 in 71 ..and remember this so well ..it reminds me of being at my local adventure playground during the summer school holidays ,building camps ,swinging on rope n tyre , climbing trees .brilliant times 😁😁.. I'm now 60 yrs old ,jeez it's just occurred to me how long ago this was in the charts 😮

[@brendasheehan2844]

I remember this song so well and I think when I was small I also thought it was Sunday Sunday till my mum told me the real title lol great memories 😊😊😊😊

[@stephenmichalski2643]

Isn't it awesome when you find a song you've wanted to hear for decades?......I just found one a couple weeks ago I wanted to hear again for over 40 years👍🎼👍🎼👍

[@ericashmusic8889]

A really Grrreat ! early 70's happy pop song & a very competent band with Sally Carr vocals. What a great good looker Sally was back then, and a super modern image very distinctive clothes, hot pants & knee boots,( sometimes white & sometimes black) a look that maybe 4- or 5 yrs later Agnetha of ABBA was an absolute dead ringer, white boots as well. Check it out ! blonde hair parted in middle..its all there .

[@jmi5969]

Same as your case, I was five years old in 1972, and it was just everywhere. Not the original but a French re-recording (a common thing then in Europe). It was imprinted in me forever, fifty years later it still rings there along with July Morning and Hop-Heyhop.

[@anthonybalistreri5226]

So glad you found it. I know the feeling!

[@capstan50g]

I'm so happy for you, Harri. I too have been tormented by memories of songs. Enjoy the relief!

[@Joe-YamahaR6]

Hi Harri, I think it's great that you drew attention to this song by MIDDLE OF THE ROAD in your channel. You in the USA... "Soley Soley" is now 50 years old, and even today a beautiful song that brings joy. I've been a fan of MIDDLE OF THE ROAD since I was a teenager. Their happy music fit the attitude of life in the 1970s. It was a nice, carefree time, especially with how crazy this world is in the digital age. MIDDLE OF THE ROAD were among the most successful bands in the 70s, selling millions of singles. Back then you had to pay 5 D-Mark (in Germany). That was a lot of money for the fans. An LP cost 20 D-Mark, today 10 to 15 Euro. To be successful, singers and bands had to do much more. Today, "stars" are pushed on the Internet without having to work anything for it. In the charts was only successful when fans bought the records and singles. MIDDLE OF THE ROAD was a guarantee for good mood and party in their time. It is still like that today. But the band had a great repertoire, a "B-side", which is unfortunately completely underestimated. Great songs on the B-sides of the singles and their LP's. Sentimental and with soulful depth. Titles like "On This Land", "Eve", See The Sky", "Union Silver", Universal Man", Gone's The Time", Winter's Sun", The Sun in your Skin", "Lingering Sounds" or "You Pays Yer Money And You Takes Yer Chance". Best regards from Germany - Joe Yamaha - Biker from Black Forest

[@j.k.1963]

What? Only yesterday I was thinking about this song from my childhood. It had dissappeared completely from my memory for decades. And now I hear you reacting to it? How strange things can be....

[@bertusvanhal8855]

in my young days i loved this group, [love it still] with singer Sally Carr, Middle of the Road had many hits here in the Netherlands, they're greatest was Sacromento and Chirpy Cheep Cheep. other hits were ''

[@iverbigun]

soley soley is spanish for slowly slowly

[@ALong-fo5so]

I was 12 years old when this song blasted onto the airwaves. Cant escape it even if you tried. Turn on the radio and there it was, switched channels and the DJ would announce …’ and the next song is…. ‘ Go down to the nearest record store and Soley Soley would be coming from the speakers. Get onto the school bus and guess what the driver is playing on her 8 track. I had a huge crush on Sally Carr then. Still do. She was my favourite girl. Loved her voice.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

I remember this so well. I was 11! Glad you found it Harri. xx

[@cathyhodges8613]

That song has tickled my memory .......................

[@amyk9175]

You found the Carpenters, “Yesterday Once More” unexpectedly like this. It’s always nice to see that moment of realization and excitement over finding a long lost tune. Congrats!

[@noelles.8019]

1972 Nana Mouskouri sang this french song called "Soleil Soleil" which means (sunshine, sunny and sun) same word for all three. It's sounds like that is what they are saying Soley (Soleil)

[@dsusan17]

She has a very unique voice. This is another song I haven't heard. Great pick Harri!

[@garryokeefe1605]

Always liked this song the most, had a nice unusual organ intro too. Glad it brought back more memories!

[@bryanforis1839]

In there days the were. Big albums lots songs

[@bessiesobjack8647]

She has a great voice, very nice. I never heard this song before. Very nicely done and your reaction was great. 🎼🎶🦋🎵

[@HarriBestReactions]

Thank you

[@cls6055]

Hahaha!!!! Luv it Sunday Sunday!!!! Check out their other hits!!!

[@rhusradicans2122]

I love your reaction, Harri. I found also this song by accident when going down KZbin rabbit holes - I didn't remember the name, but certainly the happy, upbeat melody!!!! I remember "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" by this band - my husband thought I was crazy when I mentioned that title...

[@josebeatles6055]

This scottish band have another big hits such as Sacramento, Samson and Delilah, Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, Yellow Boomerang, Tweedle dee Tweedle dum

[@RickyMiranda100]

One of the happiest memories of my childhood.

[@NathanVeenstra]

I just LOVE your reaction when you rediscover a song. I recognise the feeling, as I was trying to find this instrumental that had some kind of classical feel to it (at least in my experience). It turned out to be Elton John’s “Song For Guy”. That moment you finally find it!

[@cls6055]

I absolutely love this group! I can still remember them on radio at 6 years old!! Glad you found them!! Her voice is soooo unique!!!!

[@damonhines8187]

I always thought it was "soleil, soleil," or "sun, sun" in French. Unlike you, however, I'd completely forgotten it. Nice find, Harri, cheers! ✌😘🎤🎶💞

[@markjones7109]

Never heard this before but i`m loving it.

[@tomtrahan8485]

Never heard this song in 1972 or anytime since. Nice old groove.

[@1tommymulligan]

Brings me back also their Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. Another song around that time no-one ever reacts to which was a fantastic song is Diana Ross - I'm still waiting

[@janbow5124]

I remember this song but I have not heard it for years :)

[@j0hnf_uk]

A veritable, 'blast from the past!' It's amazing how some songs can suddenly pop into your head and you try desperately to find out what the song is and who it's by. I've had a few of those in my time. A lot of them are less than well-known songs of their time and, other than a few words/lyrics and part of a tune, you haven't a clue about them. Then, one day, (usually when you're not even looking), you come across something that strikes a chord and you think, 'hang on...', and sure enough, it's one of those long-lost songs you thought you'd never hear again. It's Top of the Pops, so the band will be miming. The drummer is probably scared of hitting a drum and actually making a sound! 🤣

[@Bertie22222]

Yep, i'm suffering that sodding issue right now. I have this one line in my head and i can't find the track. I don'y even know if i have the right words.

[@khoohockleong7585]

I found The Last Waltz by Engelbert Humperdinck this way. But his song Please Release was the first song I ever sung.

[@juanitaminch4540]

Never heard of the band "Middle of the Road" but I am going to look up them on computer to see what else they have to offer.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

You won't be disappointed .. So many great songs .. Wore out my Best of Middle of The Road cassette ( yes, I'm that old 😁 ), playing it over and over when I was a boy.

[@sherribrock2726]

I can remember my mom surprising me for no special reason with two 45’s. 1. Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by this group and 2. Take Me Home Country Road by John Denver. I closed my bedroom door and didn’t leave my record player for the rest of the day!

[@carinalundstrom7566]

I found an old childhood song, Radar Love with Golden Earring just a couple of days ago. You might like it

[@compostcorner5934]

I know how you feel when you stumble across something like this ..great feeling 😁👍

[@garydrewlevine]

Great song, dripping with the 70's pop sound

[@patriciarooney6113]

Thanks Harri...great reaction!

[@sveinovetislevoll9707]

I have good memories about this song too, heard the song first about 1972- 73 :-)

[@openfor45]

GLAD you found your song after all this time. Another monster hit for this group was prior year in 1971 - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. Enjoy!!

[@keymack2477]

Bully for you, Harri, finding this old gem you used to love! Now I have to wonder, when you hear Blood Sweat and Tears will it be the same thing? Did you used to enjoy "And Whhen I Die" and then forget about it? Only one way to find out!!!!!

[@bemused9522]

I am so happy you found it, Harri! Serendipitous!

[@HarriBestReactions]

Thank you! 😀🤩

[@seledia]

I thought it was "Soleil Soleil" ("sun" in French), and, like you, I searched it for ages. :-))))

[@quantockbeech]

Ha! This was Sunday, Sunday to me too!

[@HarriBestReactions]

😀😀🤣 Welcome to the club

[@joelbusald6416]

I had that problem with "Sunday Morning" by Spanky and our Gang

[@dejns6945]

I graduated high school 1973. @ 18yrs old.

[@josephstanton4872]

Harri, you're thinking of Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone, same year! MOTR see also Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum!

[@lovemyrainydays]

Yes, brilliant! I discovered them as a teenager in the mid 80s thanks to my bestie's mum who was a fan. They had so so many fun, catchy songs. Oooh want a great "sunday song"? Try Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boon it's another early 70s gem.

[@henriknielsen6110]

Try Les Humphries singers...Mexico or Mama loo springs to mind. Might be another childhood gold mine. Just food for thought

[@KevinM2732]

I wonder if ""Co Co" by Sweet might be another of your lost songs from childhood?

[@andrewclayton4181]

You've got me at it now. I'm sure they sang a song about Scottish clans fighting with claymore's in their hands . McGregor gets mentioned, though it's not in MOTR''s hits list. Perhaps it was a different group. More research needed.

[@johnianknox1629]

Andrew being a Scot, I can clear this up for you , the song is TWEEDLE DEE, TWEEDLE DUM. MIDDLE OF THE ROAD were also Scottish, hence the song. The singer's name is SALLY CARR and she married B.B.C. sports presenter CHICK YOUNG. Take care buddy.

[@richardw4336]

The song you're thinking of is Tweedle Dee,Tweedle Dum.

[@mikecaetano]

Poking around the web a bit I found this song was a hit in Europe but not in the U.S. Parts of it remind me of "Come A Little Bit Closer" by Jay & The Americans from 1964, and not just because one of the middle verses starts "Just a little bit closer..."

[@alustyape]

You should do middle of the road, The Pretenders-Chrissy Hyde

[@andrewclayton4181]

You enjoyed that didn't you ? Middle of the road were not highly regarded back in the day. Dismissed as Bubblegum pop They had a few catchy hits. Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep was their biggest. Though also much derided. The lead singer was attractive though, when they appeared on TV pop shows.

This song I find oddly better when it doesn't sing the words Soley . It's the weakest part of the song and everything else is great. I'm particularly a fan of Tweedle Dum Tweedle Dee.

[@oldman4049]

Personally i always liked them, but it was considered to be a sign of bad taste if you liked them early seventies, it wasnt beat, not rock not hippie, it was just commercial feel good movie wich in those days was a no go. Sacramento, Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep, tweedle dee tweedle dum where other hits they had next to Soley soley.
