Rod Stewart - I Was Only Joking (Official Video) 

Whos still here listening to 🎙️🎸 Rod 2024?

Some songs just never get old; This is one of those.

2024 This song is still pure gold.❤

Looking at my old 70s and 80s photos with this song playing..man I can't stop myself crying..a lot of memories and probably the best years of my life.

I was 15 when my late Mom introduced to Rods music, I am 64 now and Rod is still captivating audiences. The man is a powerhouse. I have been lucky enough to have gone to 10 concerts and I have a soccer ball. Plus he is aging like a fine wine. ❤❤

One of the most meaningfully worded songs of Sir Rod.

I could never explain how much I love this song

What a sweet little boy....such a loving family! Thank you, Rod .....this is my ," go to" video...always! ❤

This is just an amazing song; perhaps the best of his career. So stirring with his vocals, the lyrics and the arrangement. And my goodness those guitar solos. This is that song that lasts for over six minutes but you don't want it to end.

Can't resist Rod Stewart, even after all these years. Fell in love with him and his music during the 70's when I was in my 20's. Now I'm in my 60's and I still think he's sexy. Rock on, Rod!

Probably Rods best song. Heard it played at a funeral once, wasn't a dry eye after the song finished.

First song I learned to play on guitar... taught to me by my Dad when I was a very young boy... I’m 54 now and my Dad has passed 18 years ago but I can still freshly remember the moment we had together while he was teaching me this song... missing my Dad so much..

For my friend who passed away 1 Year ago she so very much loved him so and this one!!!! 2 Miss marylin Schultz. Love you and miss you babe!!!!!!

Rod is one of the best solo artists, EVER, even at his tender age. Love all his songs, but this is one of my favourites, simple lyrics that I can relate to and good guitar work.

This song IS the 70s. A masterpiece, takes you right back to the right days.

Thinking of my brother today. This song was so him and all the other Valentino’s of the 70’s. God I miss him so much..RIP

The guitsr solo is fantastic, from accoustic transcending to electric.

One of the best guitar solos I've ever heard

This type of music always evoke a feeling of nostalgia from the past, when we were younger and care free!

My lifelong theme song, I can relate my teenage years to EVERY line in this song, especially the line "My dad said we looked ridiculous" which is exactly what my father use to say! I am now 64, and it is STILL my favourite tune of all time.

My life story. My absolute favourite song ever and I’ve listened to music intently for decades.

65 years young here, Rods music got me through some tough times...made me smile and cry as well...it is very hard for me to even pick a favorite....Sir Rod Stewart I should say....

TODAY SEPTEMBER 17 2023 I AM ALREADY 73 YRS. OLD STILL LOVE TO LISTEN TO THIS TRUE MUSIC

Such a highly reflective and affecting song. It brings tears.

I can't recall how many thousands of times I've played the solo... It's in my book the most beautiful songs and guitar solos of all time. I'm astonished how little space this song has in Rod's legacy. I mean, just listen to the crowd sing along at every live performance... Underrated! And there's a real story in the lyrics that gives another dimension to this masterpiece!

One of the most beautiful guitar solos ever...

Really a masterpiece of English-language music. Rod came out with a song full of emotion and musical talent, that deserves to be remembered, and often played.

One of my dads favourite songs, he loved the guitar solo in the middle and used to turn the volume up flat out when it was just him and I in the car, he sadly went in may but i still love listening to it xx

What makes this song so great is that he really is pouring his heart out in a song. You can tell it's something he was really going through. No professional hit writer can just come up with that.

I love this song along with all Rods Greats. I love the line 'My dad said we looked ridiculous" very heartfelt and nostalgic ❤

Who else is enjoying this fabulous hit in 2022, with me. Rod stewart, you were a marvel to watch.

What a song, what a singer, what a guy! Always brings a tear to my eye this song. Love ya Rod.

Браво Род,сколько уже лет слежу за тобой,наслаждаясь твоими песнями,твоей неувядаемой жизненной позиции,твоему ироничному отношению ко всему вокруг происходящему,твоей вечной молодости.

Mom used to always play this on the car radio, amazing song and vocals! Found it because I vividly remember the lyrics and I still like it.

Ever since I was a kid in school I messed around with all the rules Apologized, then realized I'm not different after all Me and the boys thought we had it sussed Valentinos all of us My dad said we looked ridiculous But, boy, we broke some hearts In and out of jobs, running free Waging war with society Dumb, blank faces stared back at me But nothing ever changed Promises made in the heat of night Creepin' home before it got too light I wasted all that precious time And blamed it on the wine I was only joking, my dear Looking for a way to hide my fear What kind of fool was I? I could never win Never found a compromise Collected lovers like butterflies Illusions of that grand first prize Are slowly wearin' thin Susie, baby, you were good to me Giving love unselfishly But you took it all too seriously I guess it had to end I was only joking, my dear Looking for a way to hide my fear What kind of fool was I? I could never win Yeah, baby, woo Now you ask me if I'm sincere That's the question that I always fear Verse seven is never clear But I'll tell you what you want to hear I try to give you all you want But giving love is not my strongest point If that's the case, it's pointless going on I'd rather be alone 'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong Pouring my heart out in a song Owning up for prosperity For the whole damn world to see Quietly now while I turn a page Act one is over without costume change The principal would like to leave the stage The crowd don't understand

The story of my life. It all started when I was in junior high and followed Rod from his hair cut to the way I simply live my childhood to adolescent. Too much fun, alcohol and women. Am now sober and all by myself after four (4) unsuccessful marriages. Am happy though every time I listen to your music my friend. No regrets in life, specially now that I found Jesus and living the last few days of my life with HIM 😊🙏🏻❤️✝️🎶🎈🥂ACT 1 IS OVER !!!

Arguably The sexiest voice of all time only other voice I can think of is Barry white can't lose either way

One of his most underrated songs. I love the opening line, "Ever since I was a kid in School, I messed around with all the rules."

Beautiful lyrics, voice, man, melody, and of course, one of the greatest acoustic/electric guitar solos.

I remember I was 9 years old when my father used to sing with with his guitar.. now I'm 35 and still my beautiful memories with father always lingers in my heart especially when I heard Rod Stewart Songs.. missing you Papa

To this day. Good o'l Rod still hasn't let me down. I've seen him live 20+ times. And that's counting the Faces as well

Amo essa música desde a primeira vez que ouvi.... 😍 Amo Rod ❤

One of his masterpieces in my opinion. Explains the growing up process brilliantly...surpassed only by "The Killing Of Georgie"...love you Rod!

My dad passed away 3 months ago. And Rod Stewart was his favourite artist. His music hits harder now.

The 70’s had the music ever!!! His songs reminds me of my roller skating days!! Love your music Sir Rod Stewart!!!

Great song. A classic. So packed with emotion and a great acoustic to electric guitar solo.

One of the most overlooked guitar solos ever.

2023 and still listening this beautiful music. old but gold

One of Rods best songs great record

The guitar riff/work was a gem. Ranks among the best.

I love Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, but this solo is up there with the best.

This is one of my favourite Rod Stewart songs. The lyrics are so real, so him. Guessed what! I just got my concert ticket today. He will be performing in my country this coming March 4, 2024. Yeahhhhhhh!!!!! This has been one of the items in my bucket list. I don't have to crack my head anymore about saving for flights and hotel to attend his concert in UK. I am a happy bunny today. 🥰

The mid to late 70’s is Rod Stewart at his best. The album’s he put out were classic Rod, and his music will hold up against anyone else’s at the time.

I've just heard this on radio and it's so good, together with the rainy weather

the lyrics, the rhythm, the music..this is 70's...this is us...

What a beautiful song.

since my high school,, i'm still listening this song until now.

Love this song. Been one of my all time favorites since it came out. As true for us girls as you guys. Love is hard for all... Thank you Rod, for such an amazing song that never gets old.

When one gets to be my age this song really hits home. Loved the song when it was first aired, love it more now.

Superb song, and brilliant Guitar Solo by Jim Cregan

You bring back my memories I heard your song when I was a boy and And I’m still listening your song and now I’m 60 years old good job

A melancholic song with a great guitar solo. Indeed.

Such a beautiful and cleverly written song. And Rod’s performance here. Magnifique! ❤❤❤❤❤

77 ... I was just a kid ... Innocent and young, but memories of knowing that a life was ahead of me. Not knowing what the future held ... Now 2020 I realize the 70's was my favored decade

I am happy that a men like rod exist ! From Belgium .

Discovered this song just weeks ago. I got to see him in Vegas twice, but never heard of this song. Awesome solo and a message that applies to any age between first love and future loss.

Hi I received this LP on my 16 th birthday ( Footloose and Fancy free ) ❤❤❤❤❤ still love it ❤️🙉❤️❤️😁😁💯

Footloose and Fancy Free- one of Sir Rod's finest albums.

I had this album. This was my favorite song. I played it over and over again. I was so in love with Rod Stewart. Good memories. I grew up in an abusive alcoholic home. I really related to the lyrics about not knowing how to give love. And just kind of floating through life. Incredible song writer.

At 56 now I'm but still have the same feelings when I first heard during my early life. ROD you genius.❤❤❤❤❤❤

I want this played at my funeral the words sum up my life exactly

Brilliant song. How many of us men in our later years can look back on our wild youth and relate to this song. Me for one.

Best song ever--guitar solo is ACE .

Sickening amount of advertising on RU-vid. Is 1 billion profit not enough?

The voice, the soul of emotion ......... my heart, my heart .... and now I'm 79 and just grasping this wonderful Man and his many Talents xoxo

musicians nowdays need to go back and listen to him .. learn how to pour your heart and soul into a song and leave the crowd breathless. Legend.

this song will never get old

My Dad said I looked ridiculous, such true line.

Dear Rod, you are so back in! Listen to you all the time lately ❤️

I was just playing footloose an fancy free album, it's been my favorite for as long as I can remember ,I just looked over an my grandson was dancing an trying to sing along, I broke down an cried, another rod Stewart fan in the making!!!❤❤❤

Makes me wanna go back to my childhood in the 70's and early 80's and be in awe again of the older kids who were cool.

Michael. this was more than a theme song, it hit on so many facets of growing up in a time of freedom. "My dad said we looked ridiculous" , how many times did we hear that... "but we broke some hearts"! One of those snog's you sing along with knowing every word!!

I never broke any hearts back then but I certainly loved this song! ... An absolute classic!

This song is a 70s anthem,and it says it all!

I still love these songs like they were yesterday ❤

One of my favorite songs by Rod Stewart.

Just love his voice! The first concert I saw here in the States, at 17, 1977 Greensboro coliseum, NC. What a show he put on! He was running all over the stage. During one part he was kicking soccer balls to the crowd! He was a player like many British guys.

Amazing number.... first heard it when I was about to join med school in 1977. 45 years later it's as evocative!!

This particular song speaks to me on so many levels. Thanks for the music Rod.

What a ledge sir rod. Your my childhood memories I sat and cried plenty of time to your songs. Better out than in eh. Love ya and thank you ♥️

I'm Daniel very drunk at the moment. This song reminds me of my sadly departed mate Ricky Stoute. This was the lads holiday song. God bless you Ricky. Gone but never forgotten.

I had this on 8 track tape and wore the darn thing out. My favorite Rod song ever.

This was my favourite song when i was in high school, remembered to someone special...opa

Great song off of the " Footloose and fancy free" album. Had it when I was in 5th grade. Great album. Not a bad song on it. " hot legs," and many others.

I love this song

I love this. It's so true. Hot Rod!!

An absolute masterpiece through and through evoking both laughter and tears from a 63 y/o turning a corner and knowing it- like being blind folded in a car- but still can sense a bend coming Final phase scary shit and music is the medicine With reflecting on an early 1970's teenage @@ "in and out of jobs running free"......................... Fantastic guitar solo with overlaps various types of guitars on the same riffs just brilliant and as a (former) player had this off after lots of effort and practice to the point "Suzy baby" * going mad Recently frozen the use of my left hand due to mild stroke perhaps there are adaptive alternatives but not the same meanwhile I feel George Harrison "my guitar gently weeps" *Maggie O'Brien 1977/78 "giving love unselfishly" xx Brilliant Rod a fantastic expression and era to be young Foot Loose and Fancy Free would not change for anything. Thank You.

One of my all time favorite guitar solos

its been 6 years yesterday --3rd Nov since we parted---i still think of all the good times but can't ever forgive what you did to me .

I had a bad childhood, but I grew up listening to this song, and it reminds me of my rebellion. Music was my getaway. I went to his concert, and it was the most woman I ever saw assembled in one place. Thousands!!!
