LOVE IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Mel McDaniel - Louisana Saturday Night REACTION

[@MichaelJones-sh7nu]

I want you kids to know that checking your reviews is a highlight of my day. I'm 77 years old and you feel like family to me!

[@hatleyhoward7193]

My Mom is also 77 and I can’t get her to stream movies, much less come onto KZbin. She had gone to the library and rented the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, and then told me she had an awesome new band for me to hear called Queen. I then bought her an Apple Box to stream, but she insists on getting her content from the library. 😂😂😂

[@sfrjenkins]

Sweetest thing I’ve ever seen anyone say online. You’re my kinda people michael

Ditto !!!

[@johnv61]

“Old dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine” by Tom T Hall is an old time, story tellin’ beautiful classic that you guys will love!

[@tracycole3941]

I've suggested this Tom T. sometime ago. I'm patiently waiting (not) for the reaction. 😂

[@johnv61]

@@tracycole3941 lol….yeah I have a few I’ve suggested for a year now and nothing. All we can do is hope and wait I guess. I think $$ talks louder

[@moms2398]

OMG I love that song!

[@Stephanie-ik1vq]

Hey guys, the lyrics are: Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the BOW. The bow (also know as a fiddlestick) is a slightly curved piece of resilient wood with taut horsehair strands; used in playing certain stringed instruments. Great reaction!

Then ya take off your shoes and ya tho' 'em on the flo.'

[@sandyhafenbrack141]

Mel, the only singer I know who can rhyme bow and floor. I love this song.

[@johnv61]

I just saw “Country Bumpkin” by Cal Smith being requested, I’ll double down on this request! Beautiful old time country song, the kind you guys love and this’ll be one of your favorites!

[@MorrellWriting]

My cousin and I used to kick off our shoes and dance to this at family gatherings. Thank you for reacting to it. :)

[@tommyraytaylor2666]

Hi Guys, thanks for the memories. I grew up in south Louisana, though I live in Florida now. I remember a lot of teenage nights listening to this on the jukebox at the B&B burger stand next to my old Jr. High School. All the Football players and cheerleaders would end up there after winning a big game. It was always a great atmosphere with a mix of genres playing through those speakers. Everything from Mel Mcdaniel and Kenny Rodgers to vintage Micheal Jackson, Def Leppard, and Journey. Felt like 1983 all over again. Another great song to check out sometime would be New Orleans Ladies by Larouxe. Keep up the great work. You guys are bringing a lot of folks joy in a time of difficulty.

[@scottie141805]

Not going to lie (Story time)... I was 8 years old one time and I remember my dad, who was a truck driver, picked up my sister and me, and we drove a cross country listening to this exact song... my dad wasn't in my life a lot due to some bad decisions, and he passed when I was 11... you brought me back 30 years... thank you for all the memories...

[@Paladin70]

For another great country “Saturday” song check out Small Town Saturday Night by Hal Ketchum. Amber, being a small town country girl, should be especially drawn to it. For Toby Keith, check out Whiskey For My Men (Beer For My Horses) or I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again, about an afternoon he’d spent on Willie Nelson’s bus, HILARIOUS!!!

[@meredithingram9384]

I second the Hal Ketchum recommendation! He has an incredible voice.

[@thomasthun]

Omg 😱 you two bring back memories. I would have never rediscovered this song and many more.

[@Georgia_Outlaw_Vinyl]

There’s a Mel McDaniel song you have to listen to but you have to listen to 3 different versions. The song is Stand Up. It was recorded by Mel, The Kingsmen Quartet & The Band. All three versions are the same song but very different.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

Stand up is also done by The Bama Band, on their 1985 solo album. The Bama Band is Hank Jr’s back up band, he let them cut an album of their own songs.

[@xzonia1]

That's a fun song. :)

[@Georgia_Outlaw_Vinyl]

@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw I did not know that.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

@@Georgia_Outlaw_Vinyl Yeah man, “Stand up” I had it on cassette when it was first released, I wore that tape out. The whole album is dynamite country outlaw, I mean it is Hank Jr’s band. Now remember it was 1985 so it’s that type of country outlaw. It would be well worth looking up on line to find it & listen to. In fact I just drug my copy out of mothballs & I’m cranking it now. It’s still relevant. Enjoy.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

@@Georgia_Outlaw_Vinyl I just found on you tube, “The legendary Bama Band, 1985, singing “Stone cold country” that song is on the album I was telling you about. I can’t find the whole album yet, but that is one song off of it.

[@darrellfxdwg]

Gans Oklahoma's Cal Smith had the 1974 country music song of the year "Country Bumpkin'' it's one of the sweetest traditional country songs you will ever hear.

[@johnv61]

I agree, this is an excellent choice and excellent song! I’m going to recommend it also….lol

[@jameschristy5790]

I'm 71 and was around when these song came out nice to see young people enjoy it.

[@GlennBarr-o1q]

Everyone, no matter where they grew up, can relate to this song. We were all children once.

[@ks7343]

😱 I Love the fiddle in this one! Here for it! Line dancing here we come!

[@mattd.4553]

My first favorite song. Remember when it was new on the radio. 4 years old.

[@joanndowers5080]

You get a total visual of a Louisiana Saturday Night. I love it!!❤

[@caretaker158]

Saw another comment mentioning the group Kentucky Headhunters and gotta say they’re worth giving a listen to…..either “Dumas Walker” or “Walk softly on this heart of mine”

[@cookielady7662]

Dumas Walker is a must if you're talking about the Kentucky Headhunters.

[@angelmd43]

I was raised with that song in Louisiana and I would be bare footed dancin in the grass or porch as a little girl when my Momo would play that song. Good times! Glad ya'll got to appreciate it!

[@supermouse627]

I love this song! Brings back awesome childhood memories

[@craven1927]

You should hear this in Tiger stadium when the whole crowd is singing it at an LSU game

[@lissaMJH]

Absolutely!!!

[@retired4365]

Such a great classic song of the South. ❤🎻🎻🎻

[@101scetch]

For somebody who is not into country music, I kind of like this. It get your foot tapping and it just makes your body move instantly. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

[@jenniferwathen]

This song came out when I was a kid, and I've always loved it. I'm from Louisiana, so I love a good song with Louisiana in the title! Now, y'all need to react to my favorite The Oak Ridge Boys song, "Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight."

[@meredithingram9384]

Co-Written by the wonderful Rodney Crowell

[@BensSoZen]

Literally Saturday night here in Louisiana right now

[@Jude_196]

LOVE THIS SONG!! Glad ya'll enjoyed it!! Love your braids, Amber - they look SO GREAT! :) HUGS, YA'LL!!

[@wolfman-up7dh]

My grandpa would sing this all the time when I was little. It represents a very specific memory.

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

One of my favorite songs ever!!! ❤

[@steveyaworsky6170]

Mel McDaniel was great, especially his earlier stuff such as this one. Another good one to check out from him is the title song of the same album, "I'm Countryfied".

[@malcolmmceasy2252]

I am convinced that you two would love the 2019 Ken Burns "County Music" documentary series. I also know a few of us have been waiting for you to discover the Carter Family Singers.

[@onionhead5780]

Blast from the past. Ain’t heard this in a long, long time. Good tune.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Classic song of the south

[@stevehatton-bw3bo]

Great pick!❤❤ If you want to do Toby Keith, start with “How Do You Like Me Now”; If you want to do a Carrie Underwood song, start with her first - “Jesus Take The Wheel”; Another Okie you haven’t done is Blake Shelton, start out with his first hit - “Austin”; can’t go wrong with any of these!!❤❤ Another artist you haven’t done is Roy Clark; not an Okie by birth, he was born in Virginia, but he lived in Tulsa for the last 40 or so years of his life; a premier guitarist, fiddler and banjo player. Hard to pick an opener for him, but I’ll go with his version of “Folsom Prison Blues”, kings of a comedic take on the Johnny Cash classic with some of his guitar tricks; the 1964 version from The Jimmy Dean Show in glorious black & white is a good intro!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marikka9347]

For Mel McDaniel try Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On and Stand Up in that order.

[@carolinaramirez6183]

You can’t go wrong with How Great Thou Art , Carrie Underwood with Vince Gil. Her voice and his guitar hit the soul just right.

[@rwschumm]

Mmm... JD! :) Love this Song & always Love Fiddle! :) Great Reaction, You Guys!

[@SuperKevin57]

What a happy little song.

[@ImpureHalo67]

This song feels like home to me. I lost my mom a few years ago and lost my dad last month. It reminds me of them.

[@thisisscorpio6024]

The song takes me back to my days in the pool Hall and having a beer with the boys.

[@bwilliams463]

Mel McDaniel had quite a few toe-tappers in his heyday, and any of them are worth a listen. Songs like 'Real Good Feel Good Song,' 'Big Ole Brew,' 'Stand Up,' 'Stand On It' and 'Let It Roll' (a cover of a Chuck Berry tune) are all worth a listen, and will definitely make you happy.

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

Only a country song could rhyme BOW with FLOOR! Awesome!

[@meredithingram9384]

“Kick off yer shoes and you tho them on the flo”

[@TheSmokey999]

I remember me my brother and cousins. Would be camping and we explored the creek , the woods . Every kid , should experience that ❤ .

[@darrinlindsey]

Get down the fiddle and Ya get down the bow...

[@robynfedalen1777]

This is a great song, I remember when it was popular.❤️✌🏻🎶

[@gladyswashington5171]

Crystal Gayle "Snapshot" or "Nobody" amazing voice!. I think she is Loretta Lynn's sister?? I might be wrong but still such a beautiful voice and lady! This was a favorite song of mine when I was young 😊

[@alleykeosheyan4779]

She is Loretta Lynn's youngest sister! Her real name is Brenda Gail Webb. I'm sure the A&R guys thought "Crystal Gayle" sounded a lot more "glam."

[@stevens4316]

Snapshot and Nobody is Sylvia. Crystal had a long string of amazing hits though.

[@davidwhitley1545]

Lots of big ones (Not necessarily from Oklahoma) you've missed, Mark Chesnut, "Almost Goodby" "King of broken hearts", Allen Jackson, "Wanted", Here in the real world", "Just playing Possum", Reba Macintire," One promise too late", "How Blue", "Have I got a deal for you."

[@geob3963]

[@79tazman]

The lyrics are "Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow" like the fiddle bow

[@waltermaples3998]

I Love you Both ❤. I'm from the South and most Country Songs are stories put to music and I Love it ❤.

[@davidsanders5788]

Get down the fiddle and get down the bow.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Another jukebox staple from my childhood.

[@TheGenXTeacher]

This is another trip into my childhood. My dad listened to the Country/Western station and when this came on he would sing along! Made me so happy to hear it again! I know I've asked this a million times, but can you check out Pablo Cruise - Whatcha Gonna Do? It's a vibe and I KNOW y'all would love it.

[@SusanJohnston]

Been a minute!! Line dancing!❤❤

[@patriciakeith6755]

My favorite Mel McDaniel song (and video) is his song Stand Up.

[@JasonSmith-zo3xz]

Stand Up by Mel McDaniel is another good one

[@alphonsebraunschweigerschn3915]

Fun song. Mel defiantly has a bunch of good ones.

[@patswanson2870]

If you like fiddle music you must listen to Doug Kershaw. A good song to start with would be Diggy Diggy Lo. It would be best to watch him live and then you can se all the broken strings hanging from his bow.

[@randylantz7951]

Wow,I totally forgot Doug Kershaw. I remember seeing him on Hee Haw.

[@patswanson2870]

I remember seeing him on the Johnny Cash TV show

[@michelemercier2286]

I was going to make the exact suggestion, well, almost. Glad I scrolled down to see if someone else had first. My mom had one of his albums and I loved it when I was a kid and I recently "re-discovered" him by searching for videos on line. Orange Blossom Special was what I was going to suggest, but I think Diggy Diggy Lo is a better suggestion. And yes, "seeing" him play is a must.

[@leeyaferguson9019]

Doug Kershaw!!!!

[@chrisedwards7095]

Toby Keith - "Trailerhood", "You Ain't Much Fun" or "Beer For My Horses".

[@allendixon7700]

You know it and I know it when we need some help from heaven. You know you know what i'm saying about the baby at her baby's got her blue jeans around? Maybe you've got a blue chainsaw oh yeah, yeah, indeed

[@allendixon7700]

After the baby said the blue jeans aren't yeah it's all good

[@allendixon7700]

You're supposed to watch a sexy next door neighbor with long hair and a cute rear end.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@lisahodge5414]

How about a Oklahoma song? Shelly West and David Frizzell -You're the reason God made Oklahoma

[@TexasMagnolia]

This Cajun is happy! Thanks.

[@earladams869]

Mary chapin carpenter, twist and shout, great video

[@revaflowers3115]

Mary Chapin Carpenter 's song Down At The twist And Shout reminds me of this. My favorite Mel song is Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On.Tom T. Hall is listed as the writer and I don't think I have ever heard him sing it though.

[@user-bz7fg1pk4lbo7]

You get down the Fiddle and you get down the bow. You play the fiddle with a bow. You have no idea how true this song is when you're raised up in real Cajun Country. My House as a kid. Grandparents spoke Cajun French and Broken English. Saturday Night, kinfolks and friends show up, boil crawfish, women cooking something else that was caught or shot while hunting, lots of beer for the adults and soda pop for the kids, 4 or 5 people show up with instruments and play music, people dancing barefoot or even in rubber boots. Front porch lights, and white Christmas lights strung up for extra light in the yard. Kids playing until they get tired and fall asleep somewhere. Everybody goes home and we all see each other at out little church the next morning. They were good times. You guys should react to his hit "Big Ole Brew". It was a Country Radio staple back in the 80's.

[@lilamuzik3385]

Loved this!

[@Hobodeluxe960]

You asked for country suggestions. Jason Isbell. His song "If We Were Vampires" is so good. Keith Whitley "Miami, My Amy". Dan Seals "Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold" Ricky Van Shelton "Statue Of A Fool" Randy Travis "Storms Of Life"

[@kevinsharpjr]

Another classic song from Mel McDaniel is Stand Up , i recommend watching the music video.

[@LittleWolf194]

I believe you will enjoy the Greatest Cajun singer that nobody ever heard of (but me) Narvel Felts; 'Runaway', Lonely Tear Drops', 'Everlasting Love', 'Reconsider Me', 'Somebody Hold Me (Until She Passes By)'. Narvel flew just under the radar during the 1960s & 70s!

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Wonderful reaction.

[@angiesuarez773]

Great reaction as usual. I'm still hoping you guys get to Love Touch by Rod Stewart And Her Town and Smiling Face by James Taylor. They're all so good!!! Bless y'all !!! ❤️

[@duaneorgeron5867]

I love this song, especially since I live in Louisiana. Nothing like a Louisiana Saturday Night.

[@markvaldez5302]

Nothing like lsu footbal also on a Saturday night

[@duaneorgeron5867]

True that

[@ryanawilson8549]

J, you're idea of "honky tonk" music is ACTUALLY square dancing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marikka9347]

You should try Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight by the Oak Ridge Boys. You'll probably get a kick out of the lyrics. A song in a similar vein from another point of view is Suds in the Bucket by Sara Evans. A

[@williamlyles568]

Or a shotgun will

[@davidhorn6950]

Love this one!

[@jesseflynn7519]

😢toby Keith .I love this barr

[@johnsinclair4448]

So, Mel also covered a song by the one and only Chuck Berry called Let It Roll, which he sings to a boogie piano arrangement that I think you'll really like. I've never heard a bad Mel McDaniel song.

[@rickparman7040]

Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the "BOW"

[@lorinichols9996]

Back in my honky tonkin’ days, the cover bands all knew this song!

[@POP-USMC]

The lyric "My brother Bill and my other brother Jack" always makes me think of my dad because his name is Billy Jack😂

[@kellysteele4311]

Stand up is another good tune

[@dominicsdailyvlogs178]

[@paulguthrie4857]

"Stand Up" is hilarious. Waiting for y'all to do The Corrs....Peace and grease from Sherman, TX

[@RobSquadReactions]

Will add it to the list! Also shout out to Sherman Texas! That was our closest bigger city when we lived in Durant so we spent a lot of time there. Thanks for watching

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

Great, classic country music song!

[@natecloe8535]

For a certain span of his life. Mel's style made him look exactly like Captain Barbosa from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

[@waltw4537]

That was my thought, Jay. I'm there! Yup. Family and friends. Fun! We got together like this back in the day in the Right Coast. Thanks. Great reaction. Leon. Leon Russell too. Try "Out In The Woods" by Leon. Or a live version of "Young Blood". Love Carrie also though. Certainly gave me a smile!

[@xperfloorcare]

Awesome y’all thank you! Geaux Tigers

[@summersands8105]

You need to listen to some Terri Gibbs - She's a very interesting artist with a unique voice. She has some really good County Hits, but she also has a lot of bluesy piano stuff too. Somebody's Knockin' - great country song Ashes to Ashes Tell Me That You Love Me Mis'ry River I Wanna Be Around Go Somewhere And Hide - love this song. Reminds me of sitting in a piano bar and just enjoying the music I Won't Cry In Dallas Anymore Baby I'm Gone Wasted Love - so smooth Reckless Lovin'
