🎵 Rod Stewart - Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? REACTION

The drum and bass on this track is legendary!

[@djl9919]

I was 7 or 8 at the time and my mom came home with this album. I remember dancing & singing helping my mom cook supper. My father comes in and see's us and says "you 2 are crazy". This video just put a smile on me. Rock on Brad & Lex

A song that passes many people by is, In a Broken Dream, by Australian band Python Lee Jackson, BUT, featuring Rod Stewart on lead vocal. A great song, very well worth giving it a spin.

[@surlechapeau]

[@nightmoves7989]

It's tight alright! I was 4 years old when this dropped. It's tight because Carmine Appice is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time! Played with Vanilla Fudge, Pat Travers, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart during his dominant string of hits, Ozzy Osborne and many more... Dude is incredible...

His brother Vinny ain't too shabby himself 👍✌❤🤘

[@stevedahlberg8680]

wow, I totally forgot that was Carmen on the drums in this! and yeah literally everything you named off is an important part of the evolution of rock music and so many other things. he was such an amazing drummer and I forget where but I saw him about 3 weeks ago in an old KZbin footage but it was in color and it had pretty good shots of him with longer hair and a beard and everything just going absolutely nuts on the drums. I just can't remember the context. he was wonderful.

[@brainscott8198]

Legendary drummer, Carmine Appice was one of the first rock drummers to play the high-hat disco beat. The song was released at the height of discomania and Rod The Mod quickly obliged by making the record a worldwide #1 smash hit in every Western civilized country in December, 1978

[@JoinTheProgress]

Which translated excellently in Black Sabbath. ;p

[@melissabunn1632]

Rod has such a silly sense of humor but OMG, I love him!! This song makes me smile. The mid 70s is when I was introduced to Rod. I had no idea what he was singing about because I was so young but the man intrigued me, those spandex pants and his look!! 50 years later, he is still my favorite!!

[@Escapee5931]

My favourite Rod song is "In A Broken Dream" - he was recorded as a guest singer for Australian band Python Lee Jackson Rumour has it, his price for doing the recording, was a set of car seat covers.

[@timspellman47]

This is a great song! He was poured into those pants.

Rod's dive into disco. I bought the vinyl LP of this back in the day. I still have it. I hated disco at the time, but I liked this one.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

this reminds me so much of the roller skating rink when I was a junior high. this song was constantly on the radio over and over and I grew to really hate hearing it but it really is a good song. I haven't heard in a long time so I enjoyed it. but I mean the girls love going out there and showing off on the roller skates and so some of the guys did too. I would only go out there for I don't know, little more intense things. but this song was definitely baby making music ultimately.

This came out the year I turned 5. Lillian Müller is the girl in the video, and five years after this, she would go on to be the teacher in Van Halen's video for "Hot For Teacher". She's a Norwegian beauty queen, and she still stuns today at 71.

[@JazzDrummer1946]

The drummer (and co-writer of this song) Carmine Appice (App-Ah-See) is a drumming god. He was in a band in the late 60's called Vanilla Fudge. He's responsible for John Bonham's (infamous) BIG bass drum (26" as opposed to the traditional 22"). In the 90s, he was in Ozzy's band and many others as well. His younger brother Vinny has been in Black Sabbath (replaced Bill Ward) and Dio.

[@angelajakem366]

I remember when this song came out and was on the radio my brother would put the stereo on full blast and the house would shake.

[@howiedavis2316]

I know exactly what you mean, Lex. I was 12 when this came out and my 'girl friend' and I would sing this to each other, but back then it was all in fun, and no one really thought about it, and though we knew the words and sang it to each other, neither of us even thought or knew of the actual connotations of what we were actually saying lol.

I was 16 at the time. 1978 was a good year in music. When this song came out, it was everywhere. Dance clubs, TV, Radio, roller skating rinks, and carnival midways to name a few. And Brad you're absolutely correct, now that you've heard it, you'll never forget it. It's that catchy! Another of Rod's songs from that album, is a little number called, Hot Legs. You should check it out! You won't be disappointed.😎☮️

[@c.r.alexander1117]

I watched the ball drop at Times Square with Dick Clark on the TV New Year's Day 1979 and a few minutes after, this video came on. I think this was Rod Stewart's attempt at cutting a disco song. A successful attempt, since it went all the way to #1 on the charts in many countries. My mom caught a glimpse of Rod on the TV and thought he was "gross". I got a kick out of her reaction.

Rod Stewards best single and the pitch is stratospherically high

[@dwmzmm]

In 1979 I'd just moved to Orlando, FL and the pop/rock radio stations there played this hit several times hourly. Those who lived through that time would definitely know this hit by Rod Stewart VERY well. The music of the 1970's and 80's were really plenty and unforgettable.

[@FelipeCarreiro]

A beautiful plagiarism of the song Taj Mahal, by Brazilian artist Jorge Ben Jor. Rod should be ashamed of himself for this song.

[@chrisb9577]

Disco had such a stranglehold on the music scene in the late 70s that even rockers like The Rolling Stones(Miss You), KISS(I Was Made for Loving You), and The Grateful Dead(Shakedown Street) felt pressure to make a disco song to stay relevent.

[@chrisa4695]

True. But I think of it as adding disco elements to appeal to the mainstream rather than pure disco. Miss You is often sighted as an example of the Stones going disco but the song is more similar to Earth, Wind & Fire’s Kalimba Story from their 1974 album Open Our Eyes.

[@lastchild6153]

Rod Stewart has a lot of great radio hits but if you want to hear some of his lesser known songs that are just as good and in some cases even better you might want to give a listen to Songs like Handbags And Gladrags, Lost Paraguayos, and Cut Across Shorty just to name a few.

There's a Brazilian singer named Jorge Ben Jor, who made a song called Taj Mahal, if you have the opportunity, listen to it, and see the similarities with this Rod Stewart song. It was so similar that Jorge sued Rod for plagiarism.

OMG! Everytime I hear this song I think of my 5 and 6 year olds back in 1989 🤣 They had the most beautiful playhouse at my parents house with electricity and all. They found a portable turntable in the garage and played their story book records on it. One day I came outside to the sound of "Do You Think I'm Sexy" playing loud from their playhouse. I caught them dancing and singing like no body was watching. They had once again snooped in the garage and found a box of old 45's that belong to my brother. Now they're 39 & 40 and we laugh so much to this day when we think of this song 😁
