Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

I only had half a cup of coffee this morning so I can send you guys a dollar.

“Run Through the Jungle” 🔥🔥

As a Vietnam Vet, this song carried me through that hell hole and brought me back home. I served with some of the best men and women I ever had the pleasure of serving with, and some didn't come back. It warms my heart that youngsters listen and react to these awesome songs. Keep up the good work and have you reacted to another one of my favorite bands, Rage Against the Machine?

There's simply no way of overstating how big Creedence was at their prime, like Beatles big. 20-something charting singles, and they did it all in about 4 years. Insanity.

If you’ve ever seen a Viet Nam era movie then you’ve heard this song. Btw I love your enthusiasm.

"Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Bad Moon Rising" are my personal favorites. But, whatever you choose, you can't go wrong. I can't think of a single CCR song I don't love.

Classic Vietnam music!!🤘🤘

Creedence had the distinction of having two songs banned from U.S. armed forces radio during the Vietnam War: This song and Run Through the Jungle. Oh, and I vote for Willie and the Poor Boys for the next CCR track.

Born on the Bayou....the quintessential swamp rock tune!

CCR is one of those bands, that wrote one masterpiece after another, the whole feel of their music is powerful, emotional and real. These guys still had a message in their songs, a strong message at that. I've been listening to them from.. late 70's early 80's on (so yes, i too was late to the party) and never looked back, they been a part of my childhood, puberty, early adulthood, and they still get frequently played in my house, they never get boring to me because their songwriting is just... magnificent. They wrote the sound track to the Vietnam war, years before Hollywood decided they made good music to use in Vietnam war movies. And this song is one of the most iconic Anti-war songs ever made, maybe even THE most iconic, you hear this (i do anyway) and in your mind's eye, you see Helicopters, men in boots, dragging through the thick mud and dark jungles, during monsoon season, in the darkness, trying to survive. These were the unfortunate son's, the young men who got drafted to fight the war, while the rich parents of "fortunate son's" made sure their kids could not get drafted. (this song is about those people) Wars are always fought by the "normal people, the poor, the lower income class" to benefit the rich, who do NOT send their kids to fight in the wars they crave. Thnx for uploading guys, loved every bit of it :D

The poke at the Government and Vietnam. The Senators can get their sons out of going but not the average 20 year old

His voice is like a punch to the face...he just pummels you the second he opens his mouth. This song from the opening drum beat to the fadeout just rolls right over you like a tank

Pure American rock n roll perfectly written and played

If you haven't heard their cover of Heard it Through the Grapevine, you should check it out. Nice instrumentals.

Dudes.....Born On The Bayou!!!!

CCR has such a smooth old school sound. A couple more I recommend: Proud Mary Down on the Corner

At the time there was a draft for the Vietnam War and this was one of the best protest songs. You guys need to watch Woodstock the movie.

UP AROUND THE BEND...Yes, I did that in caps. A must!

CCR has so many great songs. "Lookin' Out My Back Door" gets my vote for next CCR reaction video.

"Lodi" is another song of theirs I love. "Oh, Lord I'm stuck in Lodi again"

Hey...can I add one? 'Born on the Bayou' with it's awesome cowbell work....makes me happy.

best CCR songs … Green River - Down on the Corner - Susie Q - Tombstone Shadow - Run Through the Jungle

Next : Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones .

Bad Moon Rising and Heard it Through the Grapevine always hit the spot for me

No epic, complicated songs... just solid rhythms and incredible song writing by John Fogerty.... and that voice! This is music you'll have with you your entire life.

Traveling Band is my favorite CCR

This song has been in more movies than u can count !!!.. lol

"Born on the Bayou" is their anthem imo. You've probably heard it in movies before. "Down on The Corner" and "Proud Mary" are great too. Although if I were to be honest...Ike and Tina Turner kind of one-upped them on "Proud Mary"

Amazing band. Run Through The Jungle and their version of Heard It Through The Grapevine

"I Put a Spell on you" and "Bad Moon Rising" and the ever popular "Proud Mary". Back in the day, if your band didn't play Proud Mary, you weren't playing what people wanted to hear.

Lookin' Out My Back Door, you will love it!

"I put a spell on you" , "Susie-Q" , "Heard it through the grapevine"

You have to remember back in the 60’s and 70’s the radio stations didn’t play long songs all 2 1/2 to 3 minutes

Within the span of just 3 or 4 years, these guys dropped a handful of albums full of tons of classic songs! More than many artists over their decades long carreer... just incredible.

Born on the Bayou🔥, Up Around the Bend, Long as I Can See the Light🔥, Who’ll Stop the Rain. Dang so many good songs by CCR.....😁👍🏼

A classic 60's song! Great choice, guys! So glad you liked it. You may have already heard it in a movie.

CCR is my go to road trip music, makes me want to drive. Listen to Bad Moon Rising, Lookin’ Out My Back Door.

Born on the Buyuo, Green River, Heard it through the Grapevine , Proud Mary, any are great songs. You cant go wrong with any of them.

Up around the Bend.. dynamic CCR

Up around the bend! Could you do some Ramones reactions in future?

Was time to do another CCR track! Again, quintessential songwriting from them! Great lyrics, great message, great song! Hope you guys are having a good week so far! Cheers friends! 🔥🤟🏻

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. Great Song, Great Guitarist!

I Heard It Through The Grapevine will always be my fav by this band.

For an intense, smoldering, swamp rocker ... give "Born On a Bayou" a listen!

CCR definitely loves their formula, short and sweet, with a message. Their music appealed to a very wide demographic, wider than the Beatles, some said, and they rode that formula to a great success until their bitter 1972 breakup.Their rhythms are smooth, happy and predictable. Their messages vary from the exposition of Cajun culture to political themes, drugs and of course, the war in Vietnam. For the veterans, top 40 songs like these became the soundtrack of their wartime memories. You can't see a movie about Vietnam without hearing some CCR.

CCR, "Someday Never Comes." It has a special meaning to me and once you hear it, you'll understand why that might not be a good thing.

Short slices of pure rock n roll,no frills,just straight up bangers every time.

No one has mentioned Traveling Band yet. Another great banger like this one

CCR- Down on the corner. My first riff I learned.

Has anybody suggested looking out my back door? My personal favorite ccr song.

A lot of CCR songs have that kind of monotonal quality: Run Through The Jungle, Green River, this one...you’re right. They don’t go far from the main chord structure. Up Around The Bend, however, DOES have a snappy beat, crescendos, and a banging guitar riff. Peace, guys!

"Lookn out my back door" always makes me smile (lookn at the happy creatures dancn on the lawn)🙂🐿🐇🐘🦔🐜🕺

1st 45 I ever bought"green river"in 1969summer between 6th and 7th grade👍🏻🇺🇸

Great reaction again, fellas. For my money, some of the quintessential CCR that you need to add to the playlist: Up Around the Bend Lookin' Out My Backdoor Proud Mary Bad Moon Rising

Imperative listening Suzie Q, run through the jungle.

"Up around the bend" or maybe go Status Quo - "caroline"

Great reaction- when I was a teen I would stomp down on the gas when this killer song came on....43 yrs later I slap the hell out of my leg while driving - great job

Their version of 'Heard it Through the Grapevine' (Hoyd it through the Grape-Vaahn). Or 'Suzy Q' or 'Midnight Special'. *** Midnight Special is one that has Alex's build/crescendo/peak/outro, you were talking about. In fact, they do the song 3 different ways throughout.***

Born of the Bayou, Keep on Chooglin, Suzy Q, Heard it thru the grapevine all amazing, hell Graveyard Train...listen to that one even if you don't react to it

I am so happy to have found this channel! You both RESPECT the artists, the music and the fans. My dudes! Thank you for not talking during the music! I'm a fan of yours!

The next song you should listen to is right there on the cover... "Down on the Corner". Love your reactions!

Born On The Bayou is a banger. Their version if Heard it Through the Grapevine is nice too!❤🎵

Bad Moon Rising..Proud Mary..Every song by CCR

This song is in about any movie regarding the Vietnam war.

I put a spell on you. Heard it through the grapevine. Classic CCR

CCR... Classic band! My favorite song of theirs is Bad Moon Rising...

Born on the Bayou is a song I think you guys will really dig. A lot of substance. Down on the Corner another quick slapper

Thanks for another trip down memory lane guys! My older brother (a Vietnam Veteran) was a diehard country fan and wouldn't listen to any rock music. This made it a drag to try to hang out with him. I played this song for him one day and made him pay attention to the lyrics. We finally found music we could share. He has been gone almost 30 years and I still think of that day whenever I hear this song. Other CCR tracks I really like include: Down on the Corner, Run Through the Jungle, Up Around the Bend and Lookin Out My Back Door. I'll repeat what I've said here before, I really enjoy watching you young guys enjoying the soundtrack of my youth. Thank You!! Keep on Rockin fellas!!!

Fogerty was blacklisted by the "establishment" -- reason why is VERY telling!

Thanks guys! 'Lookin' out my Back Door' or 'Run Thru the Jungle' please!

Hey guys! I listened to this song as a little girl growing up,my parents played it. I'm 55 now. I was the biggest Rush fan too as a teenager so thanks for bringing back the memories and love to see your reactions . Rock On!

I am starting to think you guys were born in the wrong decade you love these great old tunes so much :-)

Classic Vietnam era toon

I remember when my older sister brought Cosmos Factory home one day....fell in love eith that album! You had the British invasion going on at the time, so it was really refreshing to hear a band like CCR pump out the hits. Felt the same way about the Doobie Brothers....loved the British material, but it was nice to have bands like this around. Fogarty's vocals -man alive! Green River probably my favorite. Glad you guys enjoyed it!

The year I graduated from high school, the boys in my class, who had to apply to the draft upon turning 18, got their draft numbers, yet, thankfully, soon learned that the war was ending, and they would not be called to active duty. Throughout middle school and high school we would learn of the boys from our town who were killed in Viet Nam. There are many great, absolutely bangin' anti-war songs from the 60s thru the early 70s, and this is one of my favorites!

Love this song. Love Bob Seeger's cover version, too. Other CCR suggestions: Suzie Q, Up Around The Bend, Down On The Corner.

Hi guys. So, this song was written during the era of the Vietnam war. The references to not being a senator’s son or people being born with a silver spoon in their hand, spoke to those of privilege who could advocate for favor within their circles, an option not available to others in that generation. This was especially true when it came to the draft, and being sent off to war. In essence, this was a form of protest.

CCR suggestions: 1 Looking out my back door, 2 Bad Moon Rising, 3 Proud Mary. Easily one of America's best bands. Nice job guys.

Probably one of my top five favorite CCR songs. Love it! It is just as fresh today as it was then. If the egos had not gotten in the way, they would probably still be together. Listen to " Lookin Out My Back Door. " A drug song does not usually make you smile, but this one does me for some strange reason.

I prefer Long As I Can See the Light over there more popular songs. I just love the bluesy slow burn.

Gotta do I put a spell on you by CCR

Remember this was late 60s so rock music itself was evolving. It was definitely a " banger" for the time it came out!

I was in a play once and we used this song as our opening sound cue. The ENTIRE cast would be back stage rocking out. I play a MEAN set of 'air drums' as it turns out....

Try their best song imo: ''I Heard It Through The Grapevine''

If you're going to do more CCR, you should do some of the deep cuts. Be among the first to do Born on the Bayou or Feelin' Blue.

I’d Love to Change the World - Ten Years After. Amazing song

You got to do Born on the Bayou. It has such a great Groove

"Who will stop the rain" is a nice CCR song! more moody than those two

Next one up should be 'I heard it through the grapevine'.. By the way, their greatest hits album has 20 songs, yes I said 20 songs. What more needs to be said! Peace!

Love Andy and Alex (watched over 3 dozens of their reactions), so young and getting easily over 97% right on things that happened well before they were even born.

DRAFT. Thank you for those who served and died 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This segways nicely into Bob Segar, Dire Straits, The Band, or Tom Petty.

We’d love to see you guys do Chicago: 25 or 6 to 4, Tanglewood (offficial)! B-B-Banger!

Love this song...grew up during the last of the Vietnam War...the rhythm guitar and bass are phenomenal! Thanks for featuring it! I love watching your expressions as you listen to music I grew up listening to!

That voice.....definitely my favourite CCR tune. Your right....it’s just that good.

Suggestion for an excellent protest song, CSNY's "Ohio." Be sure to read up on the 1970 Kent State shootings first for context, THEN listen to the song.

Everyone suggesting different songs, CCR have so many great ones. For me it would be Suzie Q next.

I clicked on this one even before I watched the video. I had a really great feeling you'd have an awesome take on this tune. Awesome!! These oldies take me back to my younger days and I really appreciate a younger audience enjoying these older songs like I did when I first heard them (and still do!!). Thanks!
