Charles Manson - Look at Your Game Girl (Better Audio) 

Damn, I wrote a paper about Mr. Manson in one of my Criminal Justice classes and played this song after my presentation, I found it funny that people were asking me where they could purchase this song. Once they found out who it was they changed their minds.... I LOVE THIS SONG

This could have been a huge hit in '67 or '68 with the proper promotion and airplay. It had a perfect late '60's sound.

Perfect example of how thin the line is between genius and insanity

It's just so raw.....and haunting.

In a parallel universe this is manson walking into a stadium with his security about to drop a concert in front of 60,000 hysterical fans

"Look down at me and you see a fool. Look up at me and you see a god. Look straight at me and you see yourself."

Probably one the laziest musicians out there. Hasn’t toured or dropped anything in decades.

Oh Manson what have you done. He could be so damn good! If only...

I'm in love with this song

This actually sounds pretty good! Better than anything on the radio right now!

This footage straight looks like and gives the feeling of a rockstar walking across fans scorted by bodyguards

Someone should make a movie of Manson, and at the end credits play this song. And then everyone gets a shock when they realise it's Manson himself.

I’ll be honest here I never thought I would ever find Charles Manson talented until I listened to his music no wonder the girls in the Manson Family loved him he has a beautiful voice it’s sad that he chose the wrong path in life he could have been famous for his music not by his crimes

This man had so much ahead of him, and he was never able to fulfill these because of his own doing. Manson was such a good musician, but it's sad that his beautiful compositions cannot be enjoyed by almost anyone.

Adolph painted some pretty pictures too.

talent wasted, if charles had a home and parents that loved him he would have a huge career.

This voice will both haunt and calm history forever.

I love the way he trails off at the end.

It's sad that when I was a baby I liked this. I'm not saying Charles Manson was a great person but his voice is like an angel but his mind is a devil.

He said his mother only hugged him one time that he can recall... Love does make a difference folks He wouldn’t have held onto that memory if not. On that note God bless us all

Listening to this song in December, 2022, Brazil. The song is beautiful!

This was so sad for everyone involved, and a lesson to learn about love and raising children. if he had a family, he might have been a genius.

Charles is a good musician! this song is awesome. you can tell he felt it,

This sounds really beautiful. Thanks for enhancing it. I also love “Home Is Where You’re Happy.”

I have to admit, he's a great singer

The dichotomy of man and the duality of his/her soul. Similar to having a peace sign on your flak jacket as you carry rifle with the intent to kill the “enemy.” Human beings are complex.

Charles had an awesome opportunity to become a star. Back then, believe it or not, it was much easier to make it, and, even though Roman Polanski and a few others rejected him, he could have still done it. Many of the stars were rejected, but, hung in there and kept going around doing live shows gaining a following. Indeed, Charles had no trouble getting people to follow him. He proved that. Had he used it to his advantage, he could've still made it. So what if the road is a little longer. He was very young. He could've done it. But, he let his own selfish pride destroy him and many others around him too.

This is better than anything Bieber has put out, and I'm being dead serious

Not what I was expecting. Fairly talented and song has more sensitivity than what you would expect from a sociopath. Always wanted to hear one of his songs. Interesting and thank you.

He could have been something. Shame.

My grandpa knew him when my grandpa was wrongfully accused of armed robbery to his neighbor who had dementia but he was in San Quentin for 17 months until they found the real guy but my grandpa was cellmates with him and he said he was very tiny and my grandpa is 6’6 and Manson was 5’4 and he said Charles was like a celebrity in there and he remembers when Charles made that song in jail and he said it sounded perfect and clear and no echo in the prison and he said he was pretty weird most of the time like at night he would say some psychotic philosophy stuff but he was best friends with my grandpa and Charlie’s wasn’t that aggressive to people unless you made him and he was mostly nice but my grandpa said he was very talented and he has some of Charles books he wrote for my grandpa and a diary and he said it was amazing when he would sing in the cell

Something went terribly wrong in this guys life.

It feels wrong that I like this song :/

The message of the song is to stop looking for love, cause you'll only end up with heartache, its a sad truth, you are supposed to follow your heart and true love will find you. Charles had a beautiful message in this song only for those who experiences true heartache can hear it. Listen to the music cause it is beautiful, although Charles did commit that ugly act

Honestly never expected this. One of the best songs I've heard probably. Raw talent. Crazy message as well.

Far more talented than all of the other artists/bands who rejected him.

Charles Manson wrote that motherfucking song! Guns and roses copied him! This version is better!!!

What a great tune...this is the first time I heard this song. Amazing, fits right in with the times...the 60s.

Amazing. I wish you could to this with all his songs! The Family Jams-album would be amazing..

I actually really like this song 😊

One of my favorite songs from the sixties. Such a shame. Charles Manson should have been an iconic, eccentric, awesome songwriter. In a weird way he still ended up becoming one. Hell, the songs have already survived the test of time. In 100 years, some jackoff is going to be listening to this song long and have no idea who Charles Manson is, but know the song is great.

Such a wasted talent.. his music is so beautiful

Really well done, you can definitely notice the difference. Nice job, bro!

Everyone human life start with innocency ..after listing his song in recommended videos on RU-vid I browsed Charles Manson on wikipedia to let him know .. But after an hour of study his general life jail life his song wet my eyes that he passed away ..he is no longer with us ..he just left his memories

Manson is a true dreamer and wrote some beautiful music before he got too intense to follow. I love this stuff, and all his lyrics. For better or worse, he is a very special person, and these songs are interesting and good listening. I just imagine if he'd been produced by someone other than the "beach" boy's drummer...or if he had found a band with some decent musicians.

this song was beautiful true talent

I gotta say, this song is a cult classic.

good ol charlie

The Beach boys put him in touch with Terry Melcher who lived at the same address as Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, sometime before Sharon and Roman got the house. It did not matter who was living there. Because anybody that could afford that house was a social pig according to Charlie. Sharon and Roman were paying 500.00 per month for that house. Which was a very high rent in 1969. Remember he was on their property and was told to get off the grounds when Sharon was in the pool. Their eyes met. He kept asking for Terry Melcher and was told Melcher did not live there anymore. Apparently Terry Melcher did not think that Charlie had much talent. And wouldn’t see him anymore.. That’s what angered him.

Charlies problem was he would never focus on anything, and just expected it to happen because he felt he deserved to be famous. Entitled little kid in his head, and always stayed that way.

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this Charles Manson fellow before such a great voice I wonder what he’s doing now he had such a bright future bet he’s doing great things now

People needed to hear his message. They wouldn't listen. Such beautiful music.

Amazing song. Fuck his past. I listen to music to enjoy it... and I enjoy this %100.

I like this very much actually.

Recorded on September 11, 1967 and August 9, 1968 (overdubs), its distribution began during the Manson murder trial by Phil Kaufman who initially pressed a run of 2,000 copies, of which only 300 sold.It appeared on his album Lie: The Love and Terror Cult which was released in 1970 to help pay for his defense during the murder trial. Later Grogan and some family girls made an album called "The Family Jams". There is footage of them singing in a documentary called "Inside the Manson Gang".

I find it kinda unsettling yet soothing that I can actually relate to this song in many different levels

Fuck I'd join the manson family after hearing this

My big thing is. He wasted his talents. Being a Singer and songerwriter, I wouldn't have done this but what people don't understand he wasn't domesticated like everyone else. Getting kicked out of Foster homes, being in prison his whole life butbhe found salvation in his music. He was a beatneck before hippies and hippies and beatnecks are the sane thing. But Charlie was with the times man, he knew for a fact he could control those kids minds to believe everything he believed in. He's still alive today. Charlie's not a psycopath. He's just really smart. Street smart. Free MANSON. Let him be with his wife and let him sing man.

You've done a great job with the audio, thanks for the upload!

holy crap, this is surprisingly good!

What a beautiful voice.He was so talented.

why Charles? why? why? why? why? WHYYYYY?

Hauntingly beautiful...fits right in with the music of that time in America.

Fun fact, Neil Young was there at Denis Wilson's place while Manson was playing. He said he would play and play and once in a while something would sound good. Sounds exactly right.

There's a time for living Time keeps on flying Think you're loving baby But all your doing is crying Can you feel Are those feelings real Look at your game, girl Look at your game, girl What a mad delusion Living in that confusion Frustration and doubt Can you ever live without the game The sad, sad game Mad game Just to say loves' not enough it can't be true Oh, you can tell those lies but you're only fooling you Can't you feel All those feelings ain't real Then you better stop trying Or you're gonna play crying Stop trying

That moment I want to cover this.

The ending lyrics so true, a sad mad game, innocent people slaughtered for no reason and a beautiful young girl walks to a cell emerging 50 wasted years later as an old woman pleading for parole....

Innocent man, framed by Nixon for political purposes. A major talent, very significant artist. The world lost a great man in 2017. Hopefully one day Charles Manson's reputation will be rehabilitated, and schools will be named after him, ships, highways. Maybe his face will appear on a 20 dollar bill. We could have, one day, a Manson stamp. I love you, Charlie! God bless!

All his music is fire, honestly. ❤

Charles is the man,his music is so good,and his voice is amazing.

His madness made his talent possible. You can hate an artist but his work is pure art.

I played this for my mom telling her to guess who it was. She really liked it & was utterly shocked when I revealed it was Charlie. I think she felt guilty for liking it.

So cute ! 😍

He’s a beautiful man

Eu amo essa Música! Grande Charles! ❤

The first folk punk singer undoubtedly

He would've been an iconic singer if he wasn't a criminal

"look at your game girrrl " the best

beautiful

Great sound quality. Great song. Eerie.

i like this!

One of my Favorite songs, and if you like this song maybe you like this also, Phillip Lewin - Am I Really Here All Alone 1975 its very similur i think and it`s very Rare too.

He is on RU-vid. type it in and watch his trailer

love is a sad game

This is a soooo good song. It’s so beautiful

2021?

I love this man

Read the book Helter Skelter written by the prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi. Manson never stood a chance in life due to his poor upbringing. What a pity!

This is actually good tho damn

Im adding this to my playlist wow

@dropd26 Great song. I know the Beach Boys connection was via Dennis Wilson, but do you know who's idea it was in the BB's to take a Manson song and alter it? I'm guessing they didn't want anyone to know where the song came from? Instinctively, I suspect Mike Love of anything bad, ever, lolol.

A true american tragedy.. he could have been something so much greater and could have brought so many people together.

I blame phonies like Terry Melcher for what would occur that summer 50 years ago, if only Terry had come through like he promised.

@markerrr This version does have reverb.

While the majority of his output was rough, I still gladly put this and "Cease to Exist" on for friends as I let them guess who it is. Even after the novelty, we can still enjoy them as standalone songs. The man is a monster, but those two gems deserved the Beach Boys (Cease to Exist) and Axl Rose (this) covers they received.

I’m listening to this and I’m like “this beautiful soul is innocent”😢😢

beautiful...

Damn, this is good. :O

How many time you need to see it happens again?! The History says "Never frustrate an artist!"

Half of these views are from me!
