SuperTramp - The Logical Song (REACTION!!!)

[@80srocker67]

Everything including a circus whistle in this song. Loved it for 45 years now.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

They were the kings of moderation. You get the handclaps for exactly one bar, and then that's it. But they needed them right there, in that place, and nowhere else. Any other band might have carried on the handclapping much longer than was required. Supertramp knew what to do, and did it just the exact right amount.

[@kmach1000]

Yes! And the wistle? Awesome!

[@nancyberry1039]

My favorites out of all their great music is #1 The Logical Song, #2 The Long Way Home, & #3 Goodbye Stranger. What I always took from this song was that it was about the loss of childhood innocence. When you are little, the world is new & magical. Everything is full of joy & wonder. But then you start to grow up, go to school where you learn from adults (& other kids) how to look at your world through different eyes. As you continue to mature, you become part of society & are expected to act, think, & say things a certain way. But deep down you are still an independent person with dreams, creative imagination, & opinions that might go "against the grain" of what you were taught and how others think. It's a song of trying to understand yourself & wanting to break free of conformity instead of being "just another brick in the wall" (as Pink Floyd said). The voices are amazing, but that saxophone is on FIRE! Music from the 70's & 80's & a little bit from the 90's is the only thing I listen to.

[@wpollock1]

Missed you! Anything from this album is fire..."Take The Long Way Home" "Breakfast In America" "Goodbye Stranger" is a good start. This band is a bit like MJ...he was very meticulous in getting the right sound as is Supertramp.

[@wegder]

It is so nice to see new generations listen to this classic song.

[@valerieh84]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Supertramp, a band as essential as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who and Pink Floyd imho. So many hits! Goodbye stranger, Dreamers, Crime of the century, School, Child of Vision, Don’t leave me now, It’s raining again, Cannonball, Take the long way home, Give a little bit, Fool’s overture … The best description of their style I ever saw was “progressive pop”, truly unique.

[@KC-gy5xw]

MY group. Still love Roger Hodgson to the maximum, Bloody Well Right is always my fav.. Still have their first 4 albums on vinyl, and they got played..

[@eleluku29]

I'm really, really happy that you like this music. She has never left my side since the first time, in 1977. She always amazes me. There is always a detail, something that still manages to amaze me, even after hundreds and hundreds of listens.

[@kimrivera5302]

Welcome back Twon! Missed you, thanks for Supertramp, Love you!!

[@ritathomas5167]

One of their best!

[@rickmts]

Saw these guys live back in the day. One of the best live concerts ever. Their sound was as good on stage as it is in the album! Fantastic group to explore

[@sk8taway]

The Logical Song is so sick 🔥

[@badplay156]

Supertramp were known for the sax. They had a few good albums and a couple of excellent albums (Crime of the Century and Breakfast In America). Those two I called excellent because all the songs in it are fantastic. My personal favourite is Hide In Your Shell.

[@alexmajo2216]

Oh, take, take, take it yeah... best sax solo in a pop song

[@oliverbendallcharles]

Best killer fade out ever!

[@marie-christinescutt7888]

It's stunning just stunning this came out when I was 17 my friends and I lives changed forever!!!

[@chercee]

My fave Supertramp song! Love your reaction! You can see in your eyes how much you are enjoying it (especially when the sax begins)! This song came out in 1979, the year after I graduated high school. P. S. The songwriter and singer is Roger Hodgson.

[@fridaylong2812]

Supertramp is amazing. I hope you dig deep into their catalogue. The singer's name is Roger Hodgson.

[@guyturbide6348]

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Great to see 👀 you Miss you ❗️ Welcome to this rabbit hole 🕳 For Your Nex Supertramp try 🎵 SCHOOL 🎵 The original version Your gonna love this one too Keep the good work my friend ✌️ Hope to see you soon 😊

[@NondescriptMammal]

the album cover shown is from a "best of" album, and the graphic simply combines visual elements from the covers of two of their most popular previous albums, Crime of the Century and Breakfast In America

[@Pixelologist]

Actually, THREE albums - the umbrella is a call back to Crisis? What Crisis?

[@NondescriptMammal]

@@Pixelologist aha yes, seems likely! good catch

[@pamelajohnson6199]

Excellent! Supertramp always sounds like a circus!

[@katherinebosse5706]

Good to see you! My fav is Goodbye Stranger…or maybe Take the Long Way Home… can never make up my mind! Either way…love me some Tramp!! ❤️‍🔥🇨🇦

[@cinthiak8276]

I heard this song when I was a child, I heard it many times on the radio and I remember also thinking it was a woman but growing up I saw the video clips of another song of Supertramp and The singer Roger Hudson singing and playing the piano... I immediately recognised his voice 'This must be Supertramp' i thought...his voice.. love it, it's so distinctive and beautiful.

[@zeroxox777]

I absolutely love your American reactions to music videos. You are so expressive in your reactions, and your facial expressions and movements give a rich commentary even before your words kick in. You are really sensitive to all the instruments and switch ups and probably my dull mind wouldn't isolate them at all, but when I listen to and watch your reaction, you bring them to my attention and I always enjoy the song afresh thanks to your lit reactions.

[@ikshields]

The “album cover” here is a compilation of elements from a couple (or three) of Supertramp’s actual album covers. I think it was used on a “greatest hits” compilation, as I remember. Definitely, the hand holding the OJ is from the gorgeous “Breakfast in America” album (where you’ll find “The Logical Song”), and the jail bars are from “Crime of the Century”, another masterpiece you should also hear from start to finish.

[@brianfisher6165]

Supertramp is a deep and fantastic rabbit hole!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😁😁 I worked on one of Michael Jacksons videos. Paul McCartney introduced me to Michael on the last day of the shoot. Michael spoke very quietly and was super nice to me. I spoke with Michael about a year later and he was wearing a facemask. He just had his first cosmetic surgery and started altering his face!!!✌✌

[@Pixelologist]

The difference between Roger Hodgson's vocals and Barry Gibb's is that Barry was singing falsetto while Roger isn't - he simply has a naturally higher range.

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

Welcome back! And starting with an amazing song. 👏

[@planetbetter]

Great saxophone. Great voice. Great lyrics. Great conglomeration. I know it sounds absurd please tell me who I am. …..oh presentable, a vegetable.

[@carollittle1059]

This band had great hits.

[@arthurflou4250]

from the time the internet didn't exist and the newly born synthesizers were used by musicians who also had to be sound engineers. The first reaction was thus translated by increasingly brilliant groups, twirling music, music that frightened the sound palette like a painter on a canvas. The diversity of sounds, due to the diversity of registers, means that the art of music has never been so flourishing. Supertramp one of my favorite bands is one of them. Mixing wind instruments, guitar, percussion, nascent synths and all this without electronic assistance or voice corrector. Thank you for discovering the music of old.

[@sallysharp3845]

Don't stop, just listen. That was the intention.

[@tomasgonzalezmarin6118]

Hi!!! Lovd your reaction to the fantastic Supertramp's Logical Song!! A classic rock hit with a voice, a sax and lyrics that hit you in the heart. This song made me love Supertramp. Please, continue reacting to such kind of bands that will always surprise you. Best regards from Chile and luck in the soccer world cup! 🙂

[@sharonannrees2824]

Seems you love that saxophone! Great tune, great group!

[@michaeltipton5500]

I had their albums back in the day. To me they are so different and remind me of Queen on how unique their sound is. They use every kind of instrument they can find. Many more songs of theirs to review.

[@dianegoldeneye7363]

Hey Twon ! Welcome to Supertramp. I was waiting for that sax part 😉

[@bradleyrogers8073]

A song that makes sense, glad you got to enjoy it.

[@brettbridger362]

To understand the cover, look at the album covers for all of their albums. It's part of a series.

[@cindyv1401]

Great to see ya 😍 Welcome back friend 🤗❣️🤗

[@socalltd]

Look for "the making of the logical song" while in the studio recording the vocals and sax solo.

[@dl00076]

[@davecummings2424]

You really can't go wrong with anything by Supertramp. Always top-notch songwriting, musicianship, and production. I've always kinda put them in the same category as Steely Dan. Let me recommend the next track on this album, "Goodbye Stranger". Probably my favorite song of theirs.

[@bkniker]

Supertramp is one of my favorites

[@richardmagee8358]

So many good songs on Breakfast in America!! My favorite is always Child of Vision! my favorite was

[@lindygirl3572]

SUPERTRAMP, "LOGICAL LOGICAL SONG". more Groovy music from those Far Out 70's. Roger Hodgson sang this classic. Really good too have you back sir. More SUPERTRAMP,,, "SCHOOL", "CRIME OF THE CENTURY", Another Band to give a listen too if so desire. TRAFFIC, singing "DEAR MR. FANTASY", and "THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS". THEN the Band YES, doing.. "ROUNDABOUT", and "STARSHIP TROOPER" . Peace ✌

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I haven't heard this in a while and I forgot what a tight freaking Arrangement that is and how fascinating that sex is. I forgot how integrated all the layers are it's so tight. And it's so fun. This came out when I was in high school and I did buy that Breakfast in America album which it looks to me like that greatest hits album thumbnail we were saying it looks like they're handing a drink out through some bars or my thought was it looks like he's reaching up through a sewer great, but what it is it's from the front album cover of this album that it's on, breakfast in america. There's a lot going on in that image but at some point there's a waitress and she's got a tray up really high or something and somehow there's a drink up there on it and I'm pretty sure it's referencing that without actually going and looking. Got to be. And it's funny, I didn't think much about his voice being like a super high thin tenor at that time and I was into all kinds of super heavy stuff concurrent with it like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd and all that kind of thing, but it was on the radio all the time before I even bought the album and so I guess I just saw it as another sound in the exploding kind of rock pop landscape at that time. And so British as well just a very British kind of sound. And this definitely overlapped with the Bee Gees but in my mind, his voice is high and thin and yeah it almost sounds a bit feminate sometimes, but the guy actually has really good resonance and he can super project when he wants to. It wasn't just always the fluffy falsetto that the Bee Gees were known for. It's just his voice. And he's really good at complicated verbal delivery and he's pitch perfect and he's funky and rhythmic when he wants to be and all that kind of thing.

[@lindygirl3572]

After watching your reaction to this song, I was curious and went to the official video to see what was happening with all the sounds. Its very interesting :) You should go and check it out :D

[@uncnorseman2670]

These people were some audio magazine's rave back in the day for production quality, heck, perfection as that is what the magazine focused on. At the time, I couldn't appreciate that and stayed away. But once I got past that stupidity, I was convinced that this was the work of craftsmen of the highest order like my beloved Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin of that era. Great choice! Want Saxophone? Try Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon! Many great Saxophone sections throughout that album.

Not sure you truly understand the song, They tell you to get educated, then they insult you by calling you woke, because your education opens your eyes to the whole world, And the educated man understands their place in it among others, and the uneducated man insults him for it... And yes, authoritarianism is bad for us all so you got that part right
