The Osmonds - Crazy Horses | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@jajincaable]

Donny Osmond once said in an interview that it was Allan Osmond who played the keyboard for the studio recording but Donny played it during the live performances. He further stated that many bands have tried to copy it but could not and that's because of the special setup they had. He said it was a specific type of keyboard hooked up to a wa-wa pedal and several Marshal amps. He also said that Ozzy Osbourne told him it was his favorite rock song.

One of the first environmental songs! Anti pollution song crazy horses are the gas guzzling cars. The first singer is Jay the drummer he was about 16 or 17. The second vocalist is Merril he was 19. Jay has a musical out about The Osmonds

[@mamb4801]

Merrill was actually the lead singer. The one singing lead is Jay. He was the drummer. Their entire family is multi talented!

SUCH A TUNE...honestly wish they'd gone more down this route!

[@58fcorley]

Gosh, I haven't heart this song in forever.

Donny Osmond's Greatest Hits was my first album purchase at age 6. The Osmond Brothers were better known for light Pop. This was their only foray into heavier music. Little Sister Marie was known for a more Country sound. Donny & Marie had a variety show with a segment where they covered Country & "A little bit Rock & Roll".

They're great entertainers

[@JonathanGreen18]

He’s doing the Funky Chicken 😂

[@Leethebee62]

Would love to see your reactions to "Down By the Lazy River" and "One Bad Apple"

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Wayne is doing the guitar solo the other guitarist is Alan he was 23 and Wayne was 21 Donny on the keyboards and my first love was 14❤

[@terrisue4059]

I saw them back in the day. My first concert. I was Merrill fan.

[@JulieConkle]

Hey, the Osmonds are still awesome, although Donny is the only one regularly performing. They are all brothers, and their two oldest brothers, Virl and Tommy were born deaf. Can you imagine if the parents hadn't had any more kids? We of my generation had our bedroom walls papered with posters of them. Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Jimmy, and Marie.

[@tigerpinky]

Awww man, it is almost heartbreaking that this is the song you listen to first by the Osmonds. They were often called a talentless boy band type and this is the song you tell people to listen to to prove that wrong! A more typical type of song for them is One Bad Apple. The keyboard player (Donnie) is actually the more used/popular lead singer, but Jay & Merrill are fantastic!

[@roospaws]

Had no idea they were so versatile. Who knew Mormons could be rockstars.

[@dgator3599]

I was one of those preteen girls that bought their albums, had their posters on my wall. Jay was the first singer and Merrill was the second singer in this song. They were all great dancers, singers and musicians and Joe Jackson was always pushing his sons, the Jackson 5 to do better than The Osmond Brothers. There ya go, everything you didn't care to know about the Osmonds! LOL

[@barbadams9438]

The one take Osmonds.

[@lindaheath1101]

Hahahaha

[@JulieConkle]

Okay, I was looking, and you have done some Lynrd Skynrd, but you have NOT done any of the concert videos from Oakland in 1977, and you have not heard Free Bird, or Gimme Three Steps, and a lot of others till you've done the live concert videos, so PLEASE do some of them. Thank you.

🍎Please react to The Osmond's -One Bad Apple -Yo-Yo -Down by the Lazy River

[@randylantz7951]

The keyboard has a strip on the top that you slide down to make the sound.

[@roycemurgatroyd7963]

[@BridgetBailey47]

I get it now, you’re calling Marie the baby sister. I thought you meant after Marie there was another baby sister. Marie is my age. Donnie was a few years older. I was wanting to become Mormon and marry him back then, lol.

[@l-bird]

It may be goofy choreography, but Yo Yo is actually one of my favorites they do. I love hearing Merrill's raspy soulful voice.

[@shadow1674]

@@l-bird thank you for responding to my comment I looked at what I said and I changed some stuff I wanted him to do yo-yo and down by the lazy river lol. I talk and text and sometimes my phone has a mind of its own lol.

[@l-bird]

@@shadow1674 Haha. So, your comment became a yo-yo! Just kidding. I get it with the phone having a mind of it's own. Have a great day!

[@garyfletcher844]

The singer? All of them are singing. Not just the one on the mic.

[@womanonthinice1276]

Crazy Horses refers to pollution.

[@BridgetBailey47]

I never cared for this song at all. I did like some of their songs. Mostly Donnie’s when I was a young teen. We were about the same age back then. 🥰

[@sallyatticum]

Why would anyone not want you to watch this?

[@kenlawless7247]

Ace you have to post something else quickly. Just think if you died in a horrible accident and this was the last thing you posted.

[@phil4499]

Cheesy - couldn't stand the song then or now. 😮
