OMG THIS SCARED THE HECK OUT OF US!!! ZAGER & EVANS - IN THE YEAR 2525 (REACTION) 

🙏⏳

This song will never age

@@stevendickinson1986 wait until they get a load of it in 2525. lol

This song is on my Favorite Songs playlist and I’m 73.

Same here!

That's right it's a warning song. I've got them in my top 10 best rock warning songs on my channel playlist.

Yes indeed that was also how I viewed the song, as a warning. Yes this is the very road/path we are on.

What other songs you got on your list? ​@@marktrail8624

Yep!!!! And look at how crazy it is today. A.I. , they, basically, started test tube baby’s years ago. Things are changing faster than we know

RU-vidr Sanjin put this together.

I have seen this movie with songs from Pat Benetar and others. I have never heard this song.

@@kennethgodwin7769 Glad you finally heard it... One of a kind...for sure...

Amazing movie, 1927 or something? Incredible vision and effects.

⁰

Thank you so much for the details. I was a little off on when Metropolis was filmed. GREAT FILM IN ITS OWN RIGHT ❤

Metropolis is from 1927

Yep. Transhuman experiments are in practice now. Human organ composites being grown in pigs for transplant is a mere distraction from the Fauci+puppies+aborted fetal parts scenario...(Seen any glowing plants, fish, or poisonous insects touted by science? Or any odd new species lately roaming at night, or being washed up on shores?)

you said it ................ and more

@@barbarabisson2551 Love😍Dr Fauci he's an American hero🥉🏆

More like predictive programming to desensitize people…

@@Xcris_crosX fauci is a quack

Been a long strange journey

Amen! It's one of my favorites also and still gives me chills.

I was 19 and just got home from Vietnam in Jan., 1969. I am 100% disabled from the war. I love this song. It evokes many memories and emotions for me. I am 73 now and will be 74 later this year, God willing, the creek don’t rise, and I don’t die before October.

@@jimbreslin4210 I pray that creek doesn't rise until you feel ready for it. Bless you for your service and courage.

In my teens then too ,eerie

Well..what's your other top 5s? Im interested

Yes agreed Bro, what ZAGER & EVANS 50 years ago . is now becoming reality. Even until the year 9595 he took everything this earth can give. And he aint put back nothing. and in 10,000 man will no longer exist. I think already in 500 years. really scary that they could think of this. but it will happen. you don't have to be a scientist for that.

" dystopian transhumanist meets Aldous Huxley's Brave New World" always thought that was the reconstruction of Manchester's terraces into the tower blocks.

A few years ago I had the chance to see the whole Metropolis film at the British Film Institute, on a full sized cinema screen, was fantastic. It fits well with this futuristic song.

Is that Metropolis?

@@sarad2376 Yes

I'm more afraid of the next 10 to 15 years (I'll be gone after that). What will it be like when we have 100 billion people on the Earth, can we or it survive? Maybe a thought by George Orwell, an International lottery?

Thing was , much the same in 1927 really (see Charlie Chaplin films similar of man working as cog in machine)

Wasn't this movie also featured in Queen's music video for "Radio Ga Ga"?

Saw Metropolis as a UCLA grad film student in 1969. Guest speaker for the showing was...Fritz Lang.

@@alanfoster6589 Wow, that must have been something. I wish I was in the audience that day. How lucky and fortunate you were to be a part of film history. And being witness to one of the greatest directors ever...

@@footballlover9207 Yes. It was.

also the space race was on between USA and Russia, Sci-Fi movies were really big back then

Congratulations....i first heard this song 50 years ago when I was 10. It will never leave you. Because it could be true.

I was born 1976 and most of this has come true

Zager & Evans are the only act to hit #1 in the US and UK and not have any other single reach the top 100 in either country. So they’re the *ultimate* 1 hit wonder.

@@TalklikeAPirate Try is true. For example not just testtube babies, but clones. As far as we know not humans yet, but less than 50 years at the most.

And each may be even more relevant today than when it was written.

I second that! Eve of Destruction will make you not sleep. I was a teen in reform school when I first heard it. It's even more accurate and scary today than then.

Thank you for the info, I'm going to find this music.

I was 9 when it came out

Two years before I graduated from high school. I actually think the song has some really good things to think about!

I was 11 the song has always stuck with me the things were changing so fast technology was advancing so fast man on the moon high tech war.

You're correct on it being #1 for 6 weeks but so was Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In. As far as being #1 for 1969 it wasn't even in the Top 25. Billboard ranked it #26 for 1969 and Sugar, Sugar #1

Wow. Thats spooky. I was only 6 years old.

The Germans were ahead of everyone else back then for films.

The walk on the Moon took place in July 1969. I was 9 year's old stuck to the TV. My Grandfather never believed it. But now I live close to the Space coast. Over the years I've watched Apollo Missions, Space Shuttle Missions and Space Ex. I believe if my Grandfather were to have witnessed this that he would be a believer. 😜🚀🤯😎🤔🌴🐊🌞🇺🇲 Hello from Orlando, Florida.

Technology has created a homeless population explosion and all factories have been shipped to China

Just like sound of silence… check out the Disturbed cover. Actually better than the original

@@MichaelBattiste you should also listen to the version from henk poort also very godd

@@MichaelBattiste Yes, that was riveting!

@joyce walbert• YES! I remember seeing Soylent Green and freaked me out! Remember Soylent Green is...! Nope, not giving away the secret ending, just in case they decide to watch it on their own which they REALLY SHOULD. #NYGenXBikerLady

Look up " Love is the answer!" 💋

Wow, so cool to remember Omega man, very unappreciated 👍

@@OhAncientOne Thanks! I agree.

Yes agreed Bro, what ZAGER & EVANS 50 years ago . is now becoming reality. Even until the year 9595 he took everything this earth can give. And he aint put back nothing. and in 10,000 man will no longer exist.

Amazing! Thank you for this info. 💥🔥🔥🔥

Because it's all happening. Thank God I'm 61 with one foot in the grave.

If the world were not in the state, it's in, the reaction wouldn't be so profound? Could it be predictive programming?

I have one of his guitars on order. Their craftsmanship is stunningly beautiful.

Damn! More than spirit in the sky?

@@bobkitten8150 "Their craftsmanship" is imported from Indonesia

@@bigmac51290 in Nebraska.

@@bobkitten8150 Sorry to disappoint you, but they aren't. You won't find anywhere that straight up says "Made in USA." If they were made in the US, then the Zagers would have it in all caps in the guitar since they are all about advertising. "Made in USA" is a HUGE selling point, and they would make it known EVERYWHERE.

It's called "playing the crowd".

@@ms-jl6dl Sadly that happens so often it is hard to spot genuine reactions.

Screen Shot at 7:04. S&M 😲Just stunned

Vickie I was thinking along the same lines as you, very prophetic and yes a lot of happening now and will continue. However, God did not create man just to destroy him years down the road. Man is destroying himself, but God has a better way 😉❤️

@@angelbesson5363 Its funny how the more man "progresses," the more mental stresses there are. Physically life may be easier, but deadlines, appointments, traffic, commitments, passwords, glitches, scams, and stresses can wear us (or at least me) to a frazzle. Maybe simple and basic is better after all. And i agree God has a "better way."

When this song came out, we didn't even think we would make it to 2000. My town was still having Air Raid drills. That'll scare ya

Wow, I didn't know this, thanks. So I'm guessing the movie Elysium is maybe a take on Metropolis?

@@AK00777 Have never seen Elysium so I couldn't say, but I didn't mean that BNW was based on Metropolis, just some of the thematic elements in Metropolis, but then so does Orwell's 1984 with its proletariat masses that are kept under control.

@@Rebel9668 ok. Yep, I thought of 1984 too. This song was crazy. Don't know how I've never heard it at 52 years old 🤣

@@AK00777 I dunno, lol. I'm 53 myself so maybe that extra year...😂😂

@@AK00777 No comparison in my opinion. I have seen them both. But, that is just my opinion.

@Bill Mann• My two older brothers are Boomers and they're who introduced me to the song as a kid. I grew up listening to so much different music because there was a 40-year gap between me and my parents. PLUS both my brothers were musicians and they listen to things that was so much older than they were. Zydeco, Santana, Peter Tosh, Lady Day, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Tom Jones, Robert Johnson, Rolling Stones, BB King, Talking Heads, Frank Sinatra, Sex Pistols, Luciano Pavarotti...you get the idea. Plus a lot of classical music because my one brother was trained in classical piano & my other brother was trained in classical guitar. This song was actually one of my favorites even though the video did kind of freaked me out as a kid. Watching it with adult eyes I look at it a lot differently though and can I appreciate his context more. I can still say that it's one of my favorite songs. 😉💜😎🤘 #NYGenXBikerLady.

The ‘Boomers’ were born into countries recovering from the Second World War, straight into the days of the iron curtain and real threat of nuclear war. They grew up with rationing, in Europe. They have seen a lot of massive change in their lives that you couldn’t think to comprehend. Also, to be clear, most boomers are dead now as they were born in the 1940’s and 1950’s. I see a lot of ignorant post using the term boomers seemingly without understanding what the term even means. It’s not my generation but my parents and I find the use of the term these days to be quite condescending and disrespectful.

@@cloverite Boomers were born between 1946 and 1965. I know I'm one of them. My older siblings are still living and some of them are war babies, born during the second world war. The rest are Boomers like me, and damn proud of it. Sorry if you're so sensitive that you take it as a slight, but we don't look at it that way. If anyone has a problem with that...tough. Oh, yeah, we are kind of outspoken, and we're at the point in life where we are not all that bothered by a lot of things , but we ain't puttin' up with no crap, either. Show that to your parents.

@@cloverite Hey, Boomer here. Born 1951. Am soon to be only 71. I am not ready for the bone heap just yet. Even those of us born in the 40's aren't mostly dead either. We have been fitted from the advancements in medicine and science resulting in us being and able to stay in better shape than our parents and grandparents were at our age(s). I look at pictures of my grandmothers when they were in their 40s, 50s and 60s and they looked way older than I look now at 70. We. Are. Not. Mostly. Dead.

@@billmann6278 BRAVO! Standing ovation here clapping and cheering my boomer brains out. :0D
