My Dad used to sing this to my Mom. She acted like she wasn't paying attention. Mom has stood by my Dad for 65 years. RIP Dad. 8/20/2021. You taught me solid work ethics and to keep my nose clean 😂. I love you.
I just started playing it out of nowhere and my mom says “Grandpa used to sing this all the time you know that right?” and I told her I didn’t know that. My grandpa passed in 2012 and finding your comment was pretty cool. My grandparents would’ve been married 45 years that June and 53 years this year. I wish you and your parents the best.
"We can go to spot right over the hill, there's soda pop and the dancins' free so, If you wanna have fun come along with me."- I don't think any young "pimp daddy" these days would be capable of saying anything more effective to get a date than this using today's vanacular with the modern female audience...
they throw the word pimp around like that's something to aspire to.I remember a time when a pimp's life wasn't worth five cents.......ooohhh the good ol days.........
not really. It's rap about trucks, unless you look deep. And you shouldn't have to. 50's - 70's country is good enough, and lots to find instead.@@edwardcanez
@@ElizaWebbgas a black person who loves the genre of country but hates modern country you hit it on the nail. Gone are the days of country artists like Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams of course and so many more. In fact a large amount of modern country songs are literally written by rappers like T-Pain. It’s just different and wack now
My grandfather sung this song to my grandmother when they first met. My grandfather passed away in 1986. Today I’m sitting next to my grandmother in hospice care singing this song to her. We love you Grammy! 🌹😭
So sorry man. Tore me up because my mom died unexpectedly in a car accident and she took care of my grandma in the nursing home, my grandma had dementia and she kept asking where my mom was and if she was mad at her. Tore me up so much. Then my cousin died a few months after my grandma in a car accident. Has been very depressing.
sagar rawal never heard of countryside music, but there’s different styles of county music, just like metal is part of Rock. Hank was close to what most would consider traditional original country music though imho 😎
What people do you mean? There are millions of music fans of all genres that do appreciate live recordings. You ought to get out more I suspect. Live music recording needs not gate-keeping, and likely would not wish to be associated with it either. It's not a good look
I’m 61 years young, and my Dad used to sing this to me anytime I asked him, for 11 years!!!!! Miss you Dad, thanks for 11 years of wonderful memories!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is funny... I was in my Ford last month and doing a doordash deliver and a guy paid me good tip with $2 bills .. He have me like 10 of those 😂 ... Same thing Hank says in his music at 0:41
I am 71 years old..I was brought up with Hank Williams through my dad from about 3 or 4 years old...Will always love him and his unique, incredible talent.!!.
my dad always sang this song to me rest in peace sweet dad❤ (Aug 29th 2012 -88 yrs old- WWll Canadian veteran-) thank you for being the best dad ever thank you for teaching me about Hank Williams
Awe, me too! My boy passed over 10 years ago, but the song always brings me back to me singing to him in the kitchen while cooking. Miss that Boston Terrier!!!!!
When I was 16 (I’m 20 now), Hank was the reason I decided to start playing guitar and singing. I even bought a guitar just like the one in this video, just because he played one. It’s crazy to think that a man who passed away in 1953 still continues to inspire millions of people.
Put your heart and soul into your music. The world is full of critics, and full of lovers. Get insight from the critics and inspiration from the lovers. Be a bulldozer tearing up what the naysayers want to toss at you. Never, ever give up. It's your future, not theirs. Always be kind to others (I know its hard). A bad attitude can put a stop to a career. Be quick to apologize and fast to put praise on others. Study Hank and Elvis's lives. They were true entertainers. The Colonel pushed Elvis to be what he was. Looks like Hank was a forerunner setting up the way for Elvis. Flashy suits when the time is right and always leaving the audience hungry for more. We have one life so make it one we all will remember with a smile on our faces.
Same here. Same exact story. I'm 16 now and I want to learn to play the guitar. BECAUSE of him. I've been singing his songs and I've been trying to mimic his voice. I've made excellent progress and I'd probably fool my grandparents into thinking I'm his ghost or something
When ever I hear this song, I can see my Daddy coming through the door from the coal mines, looking for Momma. First thing he'd say is "Hey good look'n" and Momma would smile her sweet loving smile.
Dang man im from montana and i remember my dad coming home from along day up in the mountains and hed say honey im home and when she got up to make supper he said honey sit ur beautiful behind down ill make us some supper and what ever u need ill do it honey and to me thats just what a classy man is taking care of his family with out ver saying a cuss word to neither of us
I am young compared to many Marty fans. My father was a HUGE fan...Been listening since I was in the crib! Daddy is gone... I have his Marty collection (A LOT). I laugh, I cry...When I listen and remember my Daddy!!! ❤
Say hey, good lookin' whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' something up with me? Hey, sweet baby don't you think maybe We can find us a brand new recipe? I got a hot rod ford and a two dollar bill And I know a spot right over the hill There's soda pop and the dancin's free So if you want to have fun come along with me Hey, good lookin' whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' something up with me? I'm free and ready so we can go steady How's about saving all your time for me No more lookin' I know I been cookin' How's about keepin' steady company? I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence And find me one for five or ten cents I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age 'Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page Say hey, good lookin' whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' something up with me?
Hank could never have fathomed the invention of the internet, but it's amazing that the young man who tragically passed away at 29 years old can get 12M views on RU-vid.
Hank was so ahead of his time. He was like a time traveler. Should have been born later. Like James Dean; "too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye." Rest in peace, Hank. A true country music legend.
I really need someone to talk to. With due respect; someone of your age if I must say. I feel depressed on a certain issue that I have tried all possible ways to get out of.
I came here right after reading the book 'Hillbilly Elegy', written by J.D Vance. I saw the name 'Hank Williams' there, whose name I learned at school and forgot after quite some time. Glad to get his memory back into my mind world.❤
Just heard this on a Perdue commercial. Had to hear the whole thing again. Reading some of the comments below, I amazed that people complain. This song swings.Hank wasn't a big star for nothin'
I JUST LOVE THE WAY HE SINGS " HEY SWEET BABY ",,,,,DON'T YA THINK MAYBE,,,AND WHEN HE DOES HIS KNEE-KNOCKS,,,I ENVY THOSE THAT SAW HIM LIVE,,,HE IS A TRUE SUPERSTAR
My mama said this was the only performer's death ever that made her cry. She loved him even more than Elvis. And she adored him as well. I think the fact that he was so young and his death was so preventable compounded her grief. RIP Hank Sr. And thank you for giving us Bocephus!🥰
@@declankent5074 Hi and thank you for your reply. Yes, I'm pretty good, other than middle-aged grunts and groans, lol. 'Declan' eh? Fellow Irishman are ya? 😉Hope this finds you faring well!
@@declankent5074 As well as able. Had full day of supervising hired yard work being done, and taking care of disabled brother and sister-in-law. How glamorous and exciting is that? LOL
Kathy Wales he isn't a singer but he is good at singing (there is a difference) and definitely a good actor.that's why he played a role in a movie instead of making an album.
i dont know. I think the less emphasis on the musical performance brought the attention to Hank Williams character, which i knew almost nothing about(past the actual music) I think that made the movie great.
One of my favorite residents died of covid today. He always called me sweet petunia and gave me hugs. One day before he was sick he was singing this song to me while i was getting him ready for bed and i went on youtube and turned it on and we sang and danced together ❤
Wouldn't it be amazing to see these shows Autochromed? They are such priceless treasures that need to be meticulously restored and be made more available to us fans
This movie about Hank Williams I was amazed that the actor playing mr. WILLIAMS WAS FANTASTIC YOU COULD CLOSE Your eyes and you would swear it was Hank singing 🎶
I was born in 1955 and when I was a kid this song was very popular. It just made you want to tap your feet. Wish I had been old enough to have seen him in person .🙂❤🤍💙🎶💖
Yeah I wish I could have met him at that time too but I would have wanted to meet him when he wasn't binge drinking caus Fred Rose Hank's manager said, hanks binge drinking had become a problem @ th@ time Fred Rose said Hank was somebody u dont want 2 b around win he was drinkin @ his shows caus it didn't take much 4 somebody 2 say the wrong thing 2 Hank & he'd get P.O. win he was drinking
