Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan - Tennessee Bird Walk 1970 (Songs Of The 70s) *DayOne Reacts* 

Never heard this back then... thank goodness, but your reaction had me laughing SO hard. Especially the stunned silence when it ended.

I had completely forgotten about this song. It was hilarious.

I remember this got a little play in 1970. I like the way the bird sounds are programmed into the synth. Misty really tears it up on that keyboard.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I have this on my computer!!!! :)

Wow, that audience was starving for some entertainment. They applauded like it was the greatest thing they heard all week. You’re right “What the hell was that!”

Jack is my great-grandfather, so I can verify that the song is meant to be humorous. He's always had the best sense of humor. ❤

Gosh, I haven't heard that song in 50 years. Forgot about that song. Memories of A.M.radio. Thanks for the memories.

I loved your face throughout the video! lol. I had the same confused and bewildered reaction.

Love your reaction! You summed it up well!

Omg your reaction was GOLD. 😂🤣

Wow, I totally forgot about that song! Were did you dig that oldie up? That reminds of of another funny song called The Streak, by Ray Stevens. Great job!

MADE YOU LAUGH!! I LUV THIS SONG!!!

Very clever “novelty” tune. The duo actually pantomimed this song on American Bandstand at the time when it was a big hit. This live performance is much later on the Nashville Network.

Oh, this was a GREAT reaction video. 🤣

I agree with Jerry A. I haven't heard it for over fifty years but It all came back to me when it played. Please notice it was on a TV show! In 1970 there were generally only 2 or 3 channels available, not the bazillion available now so making it onto anyone's show was a big deal. And come-on, it was a comedy song and I saw you laughing! It worked. I'll bet any eight year olds in your family love it.

It was a monthly norm for the TV show "Hee Haw".

ain't heard this in decades LOL thanks

In 1970 EVERYBODY knew this song! Great Song!

I always liked this song... fun song... made my grand-kids listen to it... Frogman, Ain't Got No Home...Elmer Fudd sings 'Fi-Wah' ... Stompin' Tom Connors, 'Tilsonburg'...Jan & Dean, Little Old Lady from Pasadena...that sorta stuff... Saw them the other day... told em bout a Yard Sale down the street...said I brought them a sample... their eyes lit up, expectantly... until, I held out a handful of grass... Grampa's got a weird sense of humor ;)

It's been soooo long since I heard this!

I appreciate your viewpoint. I also have the same mindset. I actually owned that album as a young boy. If you want to give your heart & ears a treat, give a listen and reaction to Babe Ruth,(the group), "Tomorrow (the joining of the day)". Enjoy, and thanks for sharing.

If you want a crazy rabbit hole to go down. There is a sub genre of music called CB songs. You have "Convoy", "Hey Shirley, this is Squirrely", "East Down and Bound" and the most emotional song "Teddy Bear". Those are the ones I remember.

Wow! I have never heard this song. I love it, I'm into strange songs.

REQUESTS: Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why....Seals & Crofts - Summer Breeze....Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds - Fallin' in Love 😀

That's a riot! I never heard that one, probably because I spent 1969 and 1970 in Iceland with the US Navy. I guess it wasn't an international hit or played much on Armed Forces Radio :)

So, I was 8 years old when this came out. I don't remember it; I think you definitely unearthed a "rare gem" here. This song didn't surprise me at all though -- the 1970s were HUGE on novelty songs. Country artists really got into the novelty song thing back then. I even suggested a couple of more well-known ones to you in the comments to Precious Moments. There's no decade before or after that had such straight-up overtly corny novelty songs. If you're going to delve into the '70s, novelty songs are a part of the tapestry. A loose, wild, bizarre thread.

Angela your reaction is priceless😁 I guess it's not phone worthy

Greetings, Love your WTF moment, your expression was priceless! Had me laughing out loud, thanks, I needed that, and this song. God, totally forgot about this great song. Heard it on the radio In 1970. Might I suggest 1977 Starwars theme and Other Gallatic Funk Mecco big disco song, had the 12" vinyl and cassette, and currently the Cd. Great to dance to.

summer of 70 nostalgia-anyone remember their Humphrey The Camel-next up should be the Pipkins-Gimme Dat Ding. Tennesee Bird Walk was pretty popular charting at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100-number one on the country chart-the studio version is more palatable than this live version-I also liked the flip side Clock Of St. James.

I have never heard this! So silly! Hilarious!! Thanks for the laugh Angela!! 🤣🤣🤣

Angela, I loved your reaction because I had the same reaction...WTHeeeck Was. That??? I NEVER heard that song before!!! Was someone tryna punk you? Lol I'm shocked....SHOCKED I tell you, that "Tennessee Bird Walk" went to number one on the country charts for two weeks and spent a total of sixteen weeks on that chart. The single also crossed over to the Top 40 peaking at number twenty-three!!!

Dr. Demento had a syndicated radio show where he played nothing but novelty songs. This was one of them. HIs show, which began in 1974, was typically broadcast late at night, often very late Sunday nights which made it difficult tune in due to work/school demands the following day. A lot of silly records have come out over the decades, but I can see where you can get blindsided by them if you don't know what you're getting into. On the other hand, not a lot of reactors get into the novelty catalogue, other than Weird Al songs.

I love Angela’s reaction!!!

I'm so glad someone reacted to this.. its hilarious. Please react to loundon rainwright... dead skunk in the middle of the road 🤣

Hey Angela, here are a few ideas for DECENT songs of the 70s: - Elton John: Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Joan Armatrading: Love and Affection - Don McLean: Vincent - ELO: Waterfall - Stevie Wonder: Please Don't Go - Strawbs: Autumn - Fleetwood Mac: Dreams - Cat Stevens: The Wind - The Guess Who: Undun - The Moody Blues: The Land of Make Believe - Carly Simon: I've Got to Have You - Gordon Lightfoot: On Susan's Floor Cheers!

Novelty tunes were very big in the 70s. Just a bit of fun. You should listen Ray Steven's, "the Streak".

It’s a novelty song. It’s supposed to be silly!

Mary MacGregor - Torn between two lovers..................................

I still have this original 45 record, always liked it. Then keyboards were not like what they did there, sounded much better in the record. The other side of the 45 is The Clock of St James. You may get a better laugh from Junk Food Junkie by Larry Groce or something like Spiders and Snakes by Jim Stafford. Never thought I would see anyone come up with this for a reaction so kudos for that alone. And keep on keeping on.

Funny reaction!

What in the Old McDonald had a Farm is this?!?

I remember this song. Pretty bold use of a synthesizer in “country” music. Maybe too bold. Is this why you never heard synthesizer in country music after this! 🤔

Smith, "Baby It's You"

I recently found you channel and really enjoy your style and comments. Having just seen your Bobby Goldsboro - Honey reaction I'd like to suggest "Sissy's Song" by Alan Jackson. I really think you'd enjoy it. Keep up the good work.

I remember this. Yes it was weird but a fun song. The lyrics made me laugh.

I'm pretty sure the artists wanted you to laugh, it's so wonderfully weird. It had me laughing, especially when I saw the look on your face. Fun song. Doubt that I'll ever listen to it again, though.

The studio version is 100 times better plus check out Clock of ST James by them also

You are better then I, I wouldn't have lasted 20 seconds.

They wanted you to laugh,just for fun

You might want to react to "The Witch Doctor," which a little weird, but you might like it.

Angela, you are beautiful

i m 62 ,1st time i hear this n hope it the last time,it give the 70 a bad name

Aren’t you glad you reacted to this one,lol.

Hi Angela - Here's a huge forgotten hit from the 70's. Everyone will love this one: "Rock Me Gently" from Andy Kim - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ym3RlvVR9M.html

Sorry, I couldn't take it anymore. That was something else.

Shame on whoever suggested this song! Have a little respect for the channel and give her something that she can at least enjoy a little bit. On a lighter note, her reaction was funny as hell!

So many hits from the 70's: Here's a great one! "We Are Family" from Sister Sledge - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eBpYgpF1bqQ.html

It sounds like a gag or novelty song! I guess you think you are high when you listen to this song!

American Pie - Don McLean

I was born in the 70s and never heard of this and agreed not my taste. If you wanna try something different that I believe nobody's done before, please do Mouth and MacNeal - How do you do. 1972. I think you'll like it.

Please react this song DIARY by bread.

Chirp chirp

hey Angela! - Here's another mega-hit from the 70's. A duet with Dionne Warwick and the Spinners. "Then Came You" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uOViqvRsIgo.html

Lol!!!!!!

If on your next posts you are still doing 1970 please review Led Zeppelin, Immigrant Song and/or Since I've Been Loving You.

Angela - you will LOVE this one! "Reminiscing" from the Little River Band (1978) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XBETVhHpcPk.html

Lmao!

Hi Angela, please react to this beautiful song by Chris de Burgh - Love Is My Decision, Thank you!

Never heard this duet before. I don't think they made it big. Like your reaction anyways.

Terry Kath

Hi Angela - Here's a HUGE hit from the 70's - "Lady Marmalade" from Patti LaBelle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t4LWIP7SAjY.html

I'm sorry. I didn't suggest this intentionally as a joke. I thought you would laugh. It was supposed to be fun.

What can we say ???

request "chicken train" by ozark mountain daredevils it's 70's you can thank me later

Labrinth - Jealous. Please?

This is another good 80's song in my opinion .. Tears for Fears - Head over heels ..ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CsHiG-43Fzg.html

The worst . . . Whahaha haha. Hope you're not traumatized.

Excellent job on your reactions, my friend. I would love to see your reaction to the Father of soul. Sam Cooke - (Somebody) Ease My Troublin' Mind ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CCE7UNm0aDs.html

People's imagination can be so off the wall and totally weird and obscene! Disco Duck comes to mind, but at least Disco Duck was more decent and tolerable! People just get out of control and then mayhem results! God is always watching, so everyone play nice!

Not all songs made in the "70's were good.

I'm sorry. It was supposed to be fun.

I'm 62 YO and been to 2. worlds fairs and a few goat ropings and a Chinese Cluster F$ck and never seen nothing like that before!!!!! and never want to see it again.

Are you done with Pink Floyd already? You've barely scratched the surface.

This was NOT a gem. More like a rock from the driveway. If it made any chart at all it was w a y down at the bottom.

Comedy or music? Neither.
