STEALERS WHEEL - Stuck In The Middle With You | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@seanbarker4610]

Gerry Rafferty is the singer, he also wrote a massive hit called 'Baker Street!'

[@MongooseTales]

Cool! I never realized Rafferty was the singer. When I was a kid listening to this on the radio it sounded to me like Bob Dylan singing on a Beatles track. Glad to know I wasn't the only one! The song fuses some really quintessential features of early '70s pop music.

[@luvutons411]

​@@MongooseTales Neither did I...sounds great though🎤👍

[@amierikke6225]

I didn’t know that! I’m a little blown away

[@cynthiawhite9830]

Wow, you have been on a roll! So many great songs, and they just keep coming!

[@chitownlee]

Gerry Rafferty is singing this and you just did a reaction to his song Baker Street.

[@MongooseTales]

Massive hit in 1972. It was on the radio all the time. Thanks for reacting to great songs like this! You're really on a roll!

[@Noelle0026]

I remember when this was played constantly on the radio. Great tune!

[@maryhuhnke4706]

Fun Fact: Stand-up Comedian Billy Connolly played the banjo with Steelers Wheels..

[@ericanderson8886]

Yes this one will be associated with that movie, but it was a big hit back then way before the movie.

[@StevesFunhouse]

Great reaction, man !!! Just an FYI, some drummers wrap duck tape around their cow bells to muffle or deaden the cow bell sound, but others do not, especially ones held in the hand so that may explain the difference in sound you are used to. It could also be that they just chose to bring it forward in the mix and put just a tiny bit of echo/reverb on it. Also, as I mentioned elsewhere: "Comedian Billy Connolly was also part of the group The Humblebums with Gerry (formed in Glasgow), but as they continued playing, Billy kept putting in longer and longer joke breaks between songs, so they grew apart ... Gerry moving on to bigger and better things ... Billy becoming a world-class stand-up comedian."

[@mickr1448]

RIP to the great Gerry Rafferty, one of the most underestimated talents in music, before Stealers Wheel he played with The Humblebums, Billy Connolly the great comedian formed this band and Rafferty later joined, Connolly quips when when we played live Gerry Rafferty would often unplug my guitar/banjo so the sound was better.

[@raymondbonington9355]

Co writer Joe Egan passed away last week .

[@firedoc5]

Definitely one of those songs that gets stuck in your head. Always thought this has a Beatles vibe to it.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

When I was a little kid for some reason I thought this was Bob Dylan. And I absolutely love the simplicity and the perfection of that rhythm section, between the drums and that wonderful bass guitar line and the hand claps and the percussion and the rhythm guitar. It's a nice little jigsaw puzzle that works perfectly.

[@alanbrown8527]

In the movie reservoir dogs the song was introduced by a radio DJ as the Dylanesque song by Steeler’s Wheel.

[@mikerichards67]

I want to tell you something,you do reacting right! Great music,NO STOPPING THE MUSIC,which for me is fabulous. Then a dive into the song history and band background. Keep up the great work!

[@subwaygoddess1]

This brings back great memories of the crazy, stoned friends I hung out with back then. When this came on the radio we all sang it, and we looked to the left to the "clown" and to the right to the "joker!" We laughed our asses of. So cool!

[@BaronessErsatz]

Yes, that's a cowbell. Just for you, buddy. Merry Christmas.

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

I love a good cowbell!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Wow, I didn't know Lieber and Stoller were connected to this, nor that they were producing songs for bands. They were an incredibly successful songwriting team going back to the late fifties, they wrote tons of great hits for several artists, but probably most notably Elvis Presley, where they penned several number one hits for him.

[@iraidaacevedo3723]

Another great song🎸👏🏻🎼 I’ve had fun remembering good times!!♥️Thanks Shawn😄

[@ScottHarlow-y3m]

"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right and here I am stuck in the middle with you." Man, that's cold! What a line! So sad that Gerry couldn't stop drinking. R.I.P., Gerry.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Another MUST HEAR Classic,, Stealers Wheel "Star"..Nuff Said. 🔥

[@marykay3489]

I remember this song....use to hear it on the radio and my twin and I would sing it in the car when we were kids !!😄🤷❤️

[@dionisioiacobelli6689]

The great Gerry Rafferty founding member of Stealers Wheel . Passed away 2011 .

[@raymondbonington9355]

And co writer and steelers wheel member Joe Egan sadly passed away last week ,

[@doggreensector8401]

Mr. Blonde dances to this when torturing the cop.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I had heard this on the radio for years growing up and then when I was young and went to see Reservoir Dogs in a local art theater, not only is the movie fantastic and it made me become a Quentin Tarantino fan, so many of us afterwards said that after seeing that, we will never be able to listen to that song in the same way again, laugh. Fun fact: the female lead singer of the post punk band I was in in my early twenties went on to be Quentin Tarantino's music supervisor for many years and is kind of his right-hand man when it comes to sound effects and music.

[@ptournas]

When this came out I had just got out of the Navy and worked the overnight shift at a factory that made silicone chips for the electronics industry. It seems like this song was on the radio at least 6-8 times a night, so I always think of that job whenever I hear it.

[@aaronhaupert3015]

Heard that this was the writers attempts to sound like Bob Dylan, no wonder why I love it!

[@raymondregis6219]

Saw the drummer Rod Coombes with the Strawbs 20 years ago. Friendly guy, good drummer

[@godot-whatyouvebeenwaitingfor]

Huge record....Great stuff!

[@luvutons411]

Haven't heard this group in a long time...Stealers Wheel and "Stuck in the Middle"...great tune 🎤🎶👍

[@garyarnett1220]

The Wheel may have only been together for those few years, but as you well know, Gerry went on to bigger and better things.

[@StevesFunhouse]

Comedian Billy Connolly was also part of the group The Humblebums with Gerry (formed in Glasgow), but as they continued playing, Billy kept putting in longer and longer joke breaks between songs, so they grew apart ... Gerry moving on to bigger and better things ... Billy becoming a world-class stand-up comedian.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Great sing-along party song. This was by far SW's biggest hit, but they had other great songs, too ("Star", "Everything Will Turn Out Fine", "Right or Wrong") before their lead singer Gerry Rafferty embarked on a successful solo career with songs like "Baker Street", "Night Owl", and "Right Down the Line". And yes, cowbell :)

[@26shedan]

great memories of my childhood. I was around 12 or 13 when it was a big hit.

[@jewsbad]

Thanks every time i hear this song i have to watch that movie again, gonna have to pull it out and watch today while cooking.

[@user-ph9wt3ue7c]

Super sounds of the 70s

[@southernbella6535]

NEEDS MORE COWBELL ! Great hit back in the day, radio play big time. Great memories for me growing up in the 70's. Great reaction keep going !

[@vernonbolinger9488]

Its a cowbell in the video for this sound. One of my favorite songs.

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

Based on your comments, I support independent artists, not main stream! I do remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song! Thanks for the memory and Merry Christmas!

[@troyshilanski380]

Bro im glad you look it all up.

[@lauraulnye6857]

Great song and Reservoir Dogs is a great movie!❤❤

[@ronaldstokes4841]

When I hear this, I always see the scene from 'Reservoir Dogs' where the gasoline is bein' poured on the cop.

[@caryd67]

The bassist is carrying the song the whole time; drumming is pretty subtle, except for the cowbell.. then you have country slide guitar.. and the acoustic in the background. Such a cool song.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

'Impossible to UNsee that Quintin Tarantino scene. Michael Madison menace!

[@deepfriedscotsman2860]

Another great Scottish band

[@barrycohen311]

No joke- I watch YT on a laptop and go to my Subscriptions page to see what I want to watch. Your video was right next to a movie reaction channel I Follow- And yes, they were reacting to Reservoir Dogs. Crazy times bruh...

[@anthonyblakely399]

Excellent song! So sorry 🙏 they broke up! Gerry decided to go solo and create his own sound. Gerry is the lead singer. Just great musicians. 😊😊😊

[@LillyMarz777]

Blast from the past! 😁

[@Big_Al_63]

Haven't thought about this song in far too long. Thanks man!

[@mikefetterman6782]

That is a muted cowbell and they have different sizes or tones

[@patticampana9458]

Ah yes,one of the partying songs of the 70's 😁😁😁😁. Another winner!🙂👍✌️

[@librarylady13]

❤❤❤ Love This Song!

[@joymoore1904]

Rafferty’s early days. He was good all the time. ❤

[@pattymckitrick7436]

Another timeless classic !

[@ThomasKelly669]

The playlist is about 4 videos about the artists who designed album covers For Pink Floyd, Yes, the Beatles and Gerry kzbin.info/aero/PLhdOd70LYUvE3RY8yeNzF2cRbKxi9OvyH&si=cfOUj608abIVVxyQ

[@Bryan-rg6qz]

Herd this on the radio has a kid in the 70s

[@MikeWalsh-f1g]

COOL VIBES!!

[@gotrhythm1]

As a joke, Gerry Rafferty was doing his best Bob Dylan voice, but they were happy with it so they let it stand!

[@ivansavoie3190]

Though you can't beat this Jeff Healey does a pretty good cover, great reaction,

[@lindascott6902]

Mr Jerry Rafferty (you just reviewed and loved his “Baker Street”)

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

A Scottish band 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🥃😎🎸

[@chrisbanks5925]

Classic Fire.

[@karengoodenough827]

I always thought ( you’d definitely have to have a peculiar sense of humor) someone somewhere probably used this as a first dance after getting married!! Lol

[@bobschenkel7921]

You're recollection of the song is just like mine. I had heard it before, of course, but now I can't hear it without thinking about Reservoir Dogs. Oh well.

[@bobschenkel7921]

BTW, the Radio DJ in that scene was comedian Steven Wright.

[@patticampana9458]

That voice would be Jerry Rafferty.

[@svtinker]

I thought this was the Beatle’s!

[@danduntz2539]

You must not know the Beatles then, because they do not sound like this. Maybe some 70’s solo work, but not from the Beatles as a group.

[@svtinker]

@@danduntz2539 been listening to the Beatle’s since ‘65. They sound just like the Beatle’s.

[@intothesunset3]

❤❤❤

[@troyshilanski380]

What more you need michael jackson owned the beetles catalog.

[@eddiecriglington400]

🎶❤️🎶

[@reidbishop4371]

You should have watched the video, hilarious!

[@gpxo11]

man I'm glad I'm old enough to hear music hit songs from the 50s to present in their original format and not from some movie-the imagery of the movie connected with the song would ruin it for me. sorta like the MYV effect when they actually aired music videos.

[@EC-dz3fb]

You a Dr. Pepper fan?
