War - Low Rider [Up In Smoke 1978] (Movie Soundtrack Month) *DayOne Reacts*

[@galexj123]

Love how the bass just drives this song!!!

[@michaelv9929]

Up in smoke a cult classic……yes 100% see movie….and WAR another underrated group!!! Slipping in To Darkness a must listen!!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@psongman9536]

Yeah, but no new songs in years, wow, I write around three songs a week, such great musicians, makes no sense!

[@williamisenberger1073]

War was a band with a number of hits in the 70s. Interesting mix of r & b, reggae,Latin and a smattering of jazz. Slipping into Darkness, Cisco Kid are classics from them

[@michaelv9929]

I agree 100%

[@jefflast9489]

"Slipping Into Darkness" was also featured on the movie "American Me". Great movie thst is a fairly realistic depiction of the modern California prison gangs.

[@craigedwards2940]

Great band.

[@shirleycollins6241]

I love War. You should check out Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine Live ( Beat Club). A great collaboration.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

For sure Spill the Wine is one of the collaborative efforts in music history.

[@shirleycollins6241]

@@TrianglesAndCircles Yes!!!

[@scottchapin2323]

A tell tale sign that you like a song, you start dancing

[@bradcolorado8149]

Movie , yes !! ..and the song never even remotely gets old

[@jamesrobbison]

Not just a road trip song, back in the day this song was blasting out of everybody's cars as the cruised the strips in CA. Man those were the days! Finest cars on display, everybody just having a good time on Friday and Saturday night going from one end of the strip to the other and then back again! Gas was only 50-75 cents a gallon so you could cruise all night for less than two bucks! lol

[@jerryp8263]

I got a rescue chihuahua back in 2004 who was about one year old. I was on a road trip a few months later and I stuck in a War cd and when lowrider came on he perked up and howled. He would howl whenever this song played. He had no reaction to any other song.

[@davemcbroom695]

I put the dingle balls up for the weekend. 🤣

[@tonysmith-fx5mq]

Excellent reaction to Music many of us grewup on!!!!! Beautiful!!!!! Excellent!!!!And you always Beautiful!!!

[@michaelmckinney1409]

This song was not made for the movie but fit perfectly. The movie is funny as hell. This song was also the intro for George Lopez's show.

[@donaldgilbreath4200]

This song is a little older than 1978. I think it came out in 75, I was in kindergarten when it came out. I've dated myself and said to much already...

[@bobschenkel7921]

Up In Smoke with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, is most definitely worth the hour and a half it takes to watch. PeeWee Herman, or rather Paul Reubens puts in an appearance as "The Hamburger Man" that is well...disturbing. But that is the case with most of the characters in the movie. "Low Rider" is the "high" point of the movie, and one of War's best, and most enduring songs. Those guys from San Francisco know how to make some really good music. "Livin' In The Red", "Summer", "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends", etc. Enjoy.

[@kimberly8858]

Me and baby brother my favorite by war

[@davidmoorecatdaddy6994]

The world is a ghetto album by War is iconic . Check it out !

[@dannycasson1551]

The band War is worth a deep dive in itself. They have a long string of great songs.

[@wkanost]

We listened to Cheech & Chong records in high school. It was the late seventies and stoner humor was wildly popular amongst us teenagers.

[@vincentschmitt7597]

The World is a Ghetto is a solid record with a great cover sleeve.

[@glassontherocks]

This takes me back to my early stoner days... Not to be confused with these stoner days.

[@herbiesnerd]

Up in Smoke has nothing to do with this iconic song. It was a smash hit before the movie ever existed, regardless if they used it. I was in high school in 1975 when this came out. I remember driving my grandpa’s 1961 Cadillac with my friends inside and this came over the radio. It had electric seats and we promptly adjusted the seats as low as they would go and we jammed out to this song!

[@JC-tq8gm]

When I was a teenager it was the funniest thing out there! Of course my eyes were a little bloodshot when I saw it. lol I haven't seen it in a million years so I'm not sure how it's aged, but if you have a sense of humor you might just love it.

[@windsorkid7069]

I grew up in east San Jose California and this song was like an anthem to the low riders. All of my friends from toddler to 17 were Latinos or Samoans. When I was kicked out by my dad I went to Santa Rosa California where my mother lived. Less than a year later I enlisted in the Marine Corps. I knew that boot camp and becoming a Marine would be easier than the constant verbal abuse from my stepfather who was a prejudiced ass, and the distance my high school classmates kept because of my "spanglish " accent. I only had a couple of fights since I learned street time in my home turf. Sorry for the ramble, but this jam brings it all back. Love ya girl.

[@bobdelp2023]

HI :) YES, IT'S THE OPENING SONGTRACK TO THE MOVIE AND BOTH ARE GREAT AND FUNNY ANGELA :) UP IN SMOKE & STILL SMOKIN :)

[@carolgordon4785]

On my top 10 of best bands ever....love their Afro-Latin Funk soundz... Cruisen Muzic

[@joemeade5914]

My favorite one is Slipping into darkness by them🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Love this song

[@gilshows4660]

War is Afro/ Cuban/ funk vibe, started in early 70s, and “ kinda” got on the map, when Eric Burdon, serious white boy 60s British rocker, fronted them for a minute. He did the “Spill the wine” psychedelic, lol whatever it was song, but classic. Best work, “ The World is a Ghetto”, Slippen Into Darkness, All Day Music, worth a deeper dive in too. (:

[@jamesstrickland517]

Went to my first concert in 1971 Eric Burdon & War was the headliner but they did not get to perform as the concert was shut down by police for the overly large cloud of pot smoke at the outdoor arena from the previous three bands which were Last Nickle, Sugarloaf, and Deep Purple. BTW tickets were $3.50.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

UP IN SMOKE (1978) Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong Definately worth seeing if only because it is so iconic, part of our social fabric. You will laugh hard. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the movie was woven out of their stand-up comedy material. My dad's musician friends gave him the album of their stand-up stuff, and i remember listening to the "Dave's not here" routine and others way before i saw the movie. This song plays in the movie and the scene is hilarious. Go see, you'll have fun -

[@winslow551]

Gotta check out Up In Smoke. Classic!!!

[@reiteam2593]

Woohoo !! love it from Vancouver, Canada

[@johnwood9504]

Theme from "Chariots of Fire" (1981) by Vangelis, Miserlou by Dick Dale from "Pulp Fiction" (1995), Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder from "Vision Quest" (1985).

[@davidboivin7996]

Slipping Into Darkness, Spill The Wine, Cisko Kid, Me And Baby Brother all hits. One unusual song was Galaxy which was a hit at the roller skating rinks back in the day.

[@jollyj3285]

This song will never get old....love it!!! Another song by War you'd like is Why Can't We Be Friends

[@ajm25100]

You have to hear their song Summer it's the ultimate Summer vibe song.

[@grahampreston5153]

Absolute 70's classic. Light and pass the spliff, my friend. Lol

[@chrisnicol1644]

Angela.... You are a gas and a giggle... And I did see Cheech and Chong in 1975... Funny as all Hell...

[@joecampos5624]

I love that movie we went to see.it when it came out. I was in high school

[@jefflast9489]

One more thing, the sound track from the old movie "Heavy Metal" is beyond awesome! Same with "The Breakfast Club".

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Such a fun song and a fun movie!

[@maverickblackhorse3068]

Though I am not into drugs or drinking, “Up in Smoke” was a fun movie. The band War is good tunes!

[@royleggitt3307]

Definitely see up in smoke, it's a classic! Cheech and Chong owned the 70's comedy!

[@mrod7692]

Gotta love it.

[@quixote6942]

"UP IN SMOKE" is a MUST WATCH Movie, as well as "Cheech and Chong's next movie"! Before being on the Silver Screen, they did Comedy ALBUMS (as well as stage performances). PERHAPS you could react to one of their skits!

[@donaldjz]

Yes for you to watch the movie 🎬

[@richierich4538]

War is the last band to perform with the great Jimi Hendrix before his untimely passing.

[@joelbusald6416]

This is the only Cheech & Chong movie I saw in the theater, I went with my Uncle

[@sanpaku6869]

This was used as the theme song for George Lopez TV show

[@glassontherocks]

That was the shit. I loved it.

[@josephhruby3225]

Super Cool tune , in your road-trip mix follow this one up with Steppinwolfs Magic Carpet Ride . Then for the cruisin' climax play Wu-T's Chrome Wheels . . . Always ready to ride with the real

[@kevinstewart449]

When I hear this song I think both War and C&C. A suggested song, from 1966 Single Girl by Sandy Posey.

[@dalepalarz3921]

For me, this is the sound of summertime in LA.

[@thedealer777]

You should see the movie if you get, "Dave's not here man!" VATOS, CHICA!!

[@gregmoquino7896]

HECK YEAH UP IN SMOKE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES SO IS THE JERK BY STEVE MARTIN AND ALSO THE BLUES BROTHERS THEY'RE OLD MOVIES BUT I COULD WATCH THOSE OVER AND OVER THEY'RE ALL GOOD THEY'RE FUNNY BLUES BROTHERS HAS A LOT OF MUSIC IN IT WAR IS A GREAT BAND THEY HAVE A LOT OF GOOD SONGS

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

1970s... 🎸💯

[@twoheart7813]

Definitely the best "stoner" movie ever made, funny with a cool story line, give it a watch.

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

Up in Smoke is the funniest movie I ever seen….if you’re into pot (weed) related comedy…this is the one for you….I never stopped laughing….

[@paulwalker9421]

If you like comedy about two guys that get high then take a look. Great song! thank you Angela

[@davidpeters44]

the syncopation!

[@mikefisher4834]

Everyone has heard this song by now because it was the theme song for the George Lopez show and they used to have marathons of that show on nick at night I think they still do🤔

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

SOUTHERN PART OF TEXAS, GYPSY MAN, ALL DAY MUSIC.

[@lisarainbow9703]

"Dave's not here, man...."

[@crzyasylm8340]

caught on your channel by this tune..nice reaction..checked out a lot of other reactions also..may i suggest some new ones as i am a youngster at 65 lol...buddy holly:)..ritchie valens?..just wunderin:)

[@eddiemi]

Tommy Chong fathered Rae Dawn Chong, to which I'm eternally grateful.

[@crzyasylm8340]

road trip..know i came late..but Abacab by genises...a crusin song:)

[@toddhutchins2492]

I grew up listening to Cheech & Chong. Great movie!

[@davebrunson125]

Up in Smoke is the original stoner movie. To be honest I doubt you'll get into it or understand a lot of it. A little tid bit. Tommy chong went to prison for selling bongs. While in prison his cellmate was the "Wolf of Wall Street". Tommy talked him into writing the book that became the movie

[@sheldakrull1621]

I know how much you love Karen, did you do their song Bless The Beasts And The Children from the movie of the same name. It was up for a grammy losing out to Shaft which i think you did. You will love it.

[@felixkmgalanti9064]

Huh??? Karen!

[@arthurlangford5861]

Want a great road trip song? Try their instrumental "City Country City"! Definitely cruise worthy!

[@oldmanghost219]

Hate to tell you how much of a fan I am of Cheech and Chong. - Question - I haven't seen the Kurt Warner movie yet so I wonder if ELP's Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Part 2 is now in a soundtrack? - "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends"

[@wilbursims5565]

A smattering of jazz love that I dare say c u t i e

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

That is an interesting ring. Did someone drop the question?

[@robertkenneth6517]

Spill the Wine!

[@teresabunting6364]

Up InSmoke funny movie it's a stoners movie!! Funny Funny

[@johnthegreek5836]

Great song I don’t remember the movie

[@annrobinson9526]

❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelway7936]

The George Lopez show used that for its opening

[@joyceedwards2708]

The. Song was released in 1975.

[@danielmchenry1000]

good 1

[@mikefetterman6782]

AKA the George Lopez show theme song.

[@armadillotoe]

"Slipping Into Darkness" is a much better song IMO.

[@joepimentel306]

Angela you should do a low rider music week

[@jonthomson8392]

👍👍👍👍

[@johnmontgomery2784]

Try. ... Cisco Kid... sweet 😋

[@fernandofranco6371]

Look up Rea Dawn Chong, Tommy Chong daughter great actress.

[@crzyasylm8340]

oops..think i will subscribe:)

[@joelgernhardt7689]

If you have not seen Up In Smoke, that may be an indication that your IQ is higher than average. I, on the other hand, have seen it about 10 times , which may be an indication that my IQ is well below average. At any rate ,it's the best "stoner" movie of all time. you absolutely must see it

[@seanpaula8924]

Check out Chech and chong santa clause and his old lady

[@jefflast9489]

War did a song on the movie "American Me" called "Slipping Into Darkness". Awesome song and better band! Their song "War" had been featured in a couple of movies too!

[@kevinbrady6075]

Cruse the barrio,si essa? 😊

[@alanfeldstein9761]

React to the movie!

[@djjonosborn1531]

Never cared much for this song. Just a matter of opinion. Eric Burden of The Animals started this group. Spill The Wine. Sorry Angela.

[@alanfeldstein9761]

Cheech doesn't dance like that.

[@Ilikeryche]

Cheech and Chong are pretty funny but you kind of had to be there or at least be open minded about smoking weed and all that goes along with it.

[@davewright5777]

Love the music ... the movie was LAME !!!!!
