The Kings "This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide"

[@bobot1981]

Dear The Kings, on behalf of the entire world I would like to thank you for this song!

[@russcalabrese7561]

Hear hear, I second that! Even three years later on that. It's that good.

[@10ampsloblo21]

great stuff love it.

[@jackflash5659]

This Beat has been going on for 44 friggin' years. IMO this the greatest Canadian Rock Anthem of ALL Time. Cheers to The Kings!

[@markd8469]

Nothing beats cool old guys having a great time....

[@maxmonroe9461]

You still got it, Men! Looking good and going on strong! Long Live The KINGS!!!

[@bobthebear1246]

WOW that's so awesome that The Kings just played out in the open in some neighborhood. That's amazing!! These guys really put themselves out there for their fans, which is something very rare!!

[@joshjoslin2432]

So amazing. Such a great song performed so solid every time

[@housemanfromthehammer4261]

I had day surgery that day and wasn't supposed leave the house but couldn't help myself with these guys right around the corner from my house. I would have never believed that my amateur video would garner over twenty thousand views in a few short years. Just goes to show the power of music.

[@housemanfromthehammer4261]

I was so lucky that they were literally right around the corner from my house.

[@vickye5581]

Thank you for posting that video. It's always great seeing their videos, whether it's from concerts, their documentary for the song, or footage from just around the corner.

[@captaintrips2980]

@@housemanfromthehammer4261 This is GOLD! As you did, I would have thrown caution out the window to see them. I hope you didn't bleed, lol.

Greatest song ever written in the human era

[@Bill-Rocker]

I recall being at work in the very early 80's and this song would play on the radio. Nuthin mattered but the Weekend ! Great song I and my Buds still play every time we party, that's often. Thanks !

[@CarolynBoyles-vp3xc]

I also want to thank The Kings for this fantastic song and all the work they put in to become the expert musicians they are. New Wave rock lives on!

[@entertainmentvtkatbrown2440]

I literally play this song on my Drumkit every day since I heard it !!! I love the beat !!! Yay !!! This beat goes on ... When you come to Arlington VT look me up and let's play !!! You have helped me heal ... My oldest son passed away and I heard you guys playing this song ... have played it ever since!!! THIS beat goes on and on ... Thanks 🙏

[@mayormark9158]

Mark G. Staten Island, NY I was in a cover band back in '85, and we did these two songs. I just re-united with same guys this year, and we practiced this just last night. These tunes still rock, and The Kings are still great!! Such talented musicians and singers!

[@debbiew1273]

Woohoo! Had this in my head & didn't even know who did it. Thanks for the blast from the past! ❤️

[@marksolarz3756]

Tommy Hurst Love my D-Town Brothers. Thanks for the comment my man!

[@boston1450]

Excellent. Song rocks

[@billdoyle289]

Steve- do these guys still play in Canada. I've talked to them and they won't be touring in the US. With all the nostalgia about bands from the Kinds time can't believe they are not touring. This is one of the greatest songs ever

[@dougtelfer6686]

Just saw them tonight for the first time since 1982. Still a great live band. Sadly they are only known for this song, even though their other material is well worth listening to.

[@BrianSquiers]

DETROIT LOVES THE KINGS!

[@scottarnest8980]

Are they from Detroit? They played this all the time on WRIF. Love this song ... seemed like a cool 60's flashback at the time.

[@BrianSquiers]

@@scottarnest8980 no, Toronto. Yeah I remember it getting heavy air play too, usually right before the weekend!

[@housemanfromthehammer4261]

Hey Brian this is Hamilton,ON which actually doubles as Detroit in many motion pictures.

[@rickn.backer1087]

us old musical 'duffers' had it the best! Beat this music compared to today! Not a chance! Soooooooooooo much talent around the GTA and Canada in those years!

[@johncooper6246]

Remembering, I had the chance to see them in 81' when I was 21 at a theatre (can't remember the name) at Yonge and Gerrard. They cancelled late but at least I got to watch a very young opening act called, Teenage Kicks.

[@johncooper6246]

I remember now, it was called the Coronet Theatre and it was bulldozed for (of course) to build a fucking jewelry store.

[@Mako47]

I. Would. Have. Lost. My. Mind. There's like 5 people!!! WHAT?!?!?!

[@laurenmoldowan]

one hit wonders 30 years later always makes me sad to watch a little....

[@mitchmar98]

agree.plus,they just don't sound as good,but neither will I 36 yrs from now

[@JohnCoctostan]

I agree, too. But, their first album is really good - all the songs.

[@jeffdubuque5622]

playing music for a living, there doing something right, beats punching a time clock.

[@stevemarco8631]

And how did you get this double-sided single past the radio programmers?

[@xanadujohn79]

Big time then no time... a huge shame...I never knew they were Canadian.........

[@housemanfromthehammer4261]

xanadujohn79 That's the beauty of one hit wonders.

[@tvb1020]

I love the Kings. Its sad to see this fall from grace though.....they went from sold out arenas.....to NOT sold out city parks where homeless people sleep.

[@THE_CHOAS_ENGINE]

This...

For the love of God please hold the camera still.........

[@robertwagner8728]

I’m sorry but that’s pathetic. I know they’re all about 100 now but DANG. I mean that album and song are my literal all time favorites. This just makes me sad.
