My take on "he blew his mind out in a car" was a bad lsd trip, not death. "he didn't notice that the light had changed" took it from literal death to just being, out of it. That doesn't mean I'm right, just my take on those lyrics

Guys, he crashed and died. Shangri-la is pronounced Shangra-la. It is from a classic 1937 movie (and 1933 book) called Lost Horizon and it means a perfect wonderful place, kind of like Nirvana. The video clip is from "The Wild Ones". Too bad you did not see the group singing (with their beehive hair-dos). So glad you are starting to look at girl groups. They do have other hits like "Walking in the Sand". Just for fun, you should hear The Angels sing "My Boyfriend's Back". But you really have to hear The Shirelles', and Martha and the Vandellas, Their hits are real rock and roll classics.

@rrailguitar2211 Год назад

This is a classic of girl group pop and also "death rock." It's the frequent girl group theme of the bad boy that the parents can't stand but the girl loves him...but then he dies in a crash. Other death rock classics might be "Teen Angel" and "Tell Laura I love her." The Shangri-La's producer was a guy called Shadow Morton who dreamed up these little tragedies. In "You Can Never Go Home Anymore" the parents won't let the boy in the house. Also, I've read they brought a motorcycle into the studio to record it....or maybe they just ran a microphone outside to it. Either way it isn't stock.

Shangri La was a fictional village from the classic novel Lost Horizon. The book was turned into 2 different movies. The original came out in the 1930's, but it was the 1970's musical that had a huge impact on me as a kid. That was my favorite movie for many years. Basically, everyone in Shangri La would always stay young and beautiful. However, if they ever left Shangri La, then they would quickly age. Also, without giving too much away, a man's plane crashed in the city and he falls in love with one of the locals.

@johnsilva9139 Год назад

Yes, Shangri La was a mythical Eden located in a hidden valley deep in the Himilayas. The 1930's movie version is worth checking out.

I very much enjoyed the 30's version, but I never saw it until I was an adult. I admit the 70's version is sillier since it's a musical, but it had the most influence on me since I saw it in the theater during my formative years. Thanks for your comment.

We dressed up my little brother in a leather jacket and put him on his tricycle and then we hit him with our Barbie Van to reinact the crash scene. We didn't have cell phones and video games so that's how we entertained our parents. A world away from now.

@RFWieder Год назад

The Shangri-Las, lead vocalist Mary Weiss, and twins Marge and Maryanne Ganser were a unique group and so were the songs they recorded!! They often covered subjects that read like greek tragedies songs like "Remember"( Walking in the Sand), "I Can Never Ho Home Anymore", and "Past, Present and Future" a song about a rape victim!! They were only popular for about 3 years but remain known as one of the top "girl groups" of the '60's.

This was definitely a 60's vibe, I wore out my 45 vinyl of this classic! Another HUGE 60's song was by artist Lou Christie, "Rhapsody in the Rain". It has the racy element & drama, the cool background vocals, some awesome pre-BeeGees falsetto, and that heavy "wall of sound" mixing technique that will throw you right back to those early days of pop/rock.

@cooltom14 Год назад

I don't usually comment but I'll make an exception for the Shangri-Las. They were the "bad girl" girl group of the 60's and they were one of the influences of the early punk scene. Both Blondie and The Go-Gos covered their songs among others. You should check out the videos of them doing "Remember (Walking in the Sand)" and "Out in the Streets". I think Amber, particularly would like "I Can Never Go Home Anymore". They were two sets of sisters. Mary and Betty Weiss and Marge and Mary Ann Ganser (who were twins). I don't think Betty cared much for singing before an audience so they often performed as a trio with Mary taking lead and the Ganser twins singing back up. They are definitely worth exploring futher.

60's Girl Groups forever! Love the Shangri-Las and the many, many other groups from that era. Absolute faves. Try the Ronettes next.

@gotham61 Год назад

Teenage tragedy songs were a real fad for a few years in the early 60s. The ShangriLas were very young, age 15-17, two pairs of sisters.

@d.j.starling3559 Год назад

Group name pronounced Shang-ra-las. Many great songs! Another wonderful girl group from the era is The Shirelles. Soldier Boy is great!! So is their original version of the Carole King-penned classic, Will You Love Me Tomorrow. Listen. You'll love it!!

Twisted Sister covers this song, Jay.

Twisted Sister made a cover of this song - believe it or not. That is how I learned about it in first place.

@kathleendoorley4903 Год назад

These girls were IT! They wore black leather and were. the coolest! Just listen to their greatest hits.

@willowthegood9035 Год назад

You'll be surprised to learn there was a whole genre of "dead teenager" songs When you search for these songs, look for Dick Clark or Ed Sullivan for live performances.

@patriciakeith6755 Год назад

Yes, Jan and Dean's Dead Man's Curve from 1963. Dead Man's Curve was an actual highway curve. According to what I just read, 7 people have died there between1979 and 1987. 'Voice actor Mel Blanc was severely injured while driving there in 1961, and later sued the City of Los Angeles, prompting a reconstruction of the road.'

@patmiller9114 Год назад

If I remember there was a compilation of them called Tear Jerkers. I wish I could find it again. Tell Laura I Love Her and Crying In The Chapel are 2 of my faves

@stephanieo2509 Год назад

This was early 60's before the British Invasion changed things. Also a group of songs where the "hero" dies. He leaves after she breaks up with him and then crashes his motorcycle.

@fmtalks1386 Год назад

In 2007 lead singer Mary Weiss came out of retirement, recorded the CD "Dangerous Game" and toured. Needless to say she included Shangri-la's music in her show.

@wendyt7958 Год назад

"You Can Never Go Home ANymore" is a tear jerker by them

@johnsilva9139 Год назад

Big hit back when ( '63,'64? ). Highly recommend another hit of theirs " ( Remember ) Walking in the Sand ". There's a video of them performing it on a TV show. They were four high school girls from Queens. The lead singer's sister plus two twin sisters make up the background singers.

@davidnelson9331 Год назад

I remember on one of the panel shows at the time, the distinguished panelists were read this lyric and asked to identify it. None of them could, only to find out it was the number 1 record of the week in the US.

@johnsilva9139 Год назад

Yes, I believe that might have been an episode of What's My Line with the Shangri Las and Robert Goulet playing the part of the biker ( with a real motorcycle ).

My niece listened to this over and over ballin' her eyes out. Def brings back memories.

Fun fact…Billy Joel played piano on their track. He was 16 years old. Also, Mary Weiss, the girl singing this song was only 15 years old when it was recorded.

My wife loves this song! In case you missed it, he died in a bike wreck.

Have you ever heard "Forever Free", by W.A.S.P.? Y'all both might like that.

@barrymuller5131 Год назад

When I was in sports in HS, our student manager brought a record player to the locker room and we would play music getting dressed for practice or games. The only drawback was that we only had one record. It reminds me of this song but it was called (It’s My Party) by Leslie Gore. Very reminiscent sound to the Shanghai-Las. Not to be picky, but if you looked it up, you want to be right. The gri is pronounced like grip, not like green. ❤

Never heard of the Shanghai Las. I think auto correct claimed another victim lol.

@karendoss6026 Год назад

One of my favorites, I was 11 when it came out. He died when he took off on his motorcycle, she is yelling look out look out look out.

@user-wk5rm9cm6h 10 месяцев назад

this song was so far ahead of his time, if you listen closely you will hear many many pop songs from the 80's until now in that sound. The had great harmony's!

@rwschumm Год назад

Really Old Song from WAY back when! Back when most 'Bad Boy' Pack Leaders hung out at the 'Candy Store' :) Funny, but 'period' :) However, You Guys should React to 'Dead Man's Curve' by Jan & Dean from early '60s also. 'Surf' music started melding with 'Calif Street Car' music, so it's DEFINITELY part of Rock Culture!! :) Great Reaction Guys!

@dmb70 Год назад

Love this song & the Shangri Las vocals. Definitely check out their other hits “Remember Walking In The Sand” which Aerosmith does a cool cover of & “Give Him A Great Big Kiss ” , which was covered by glam rock pioneers The New York Dolls. Twisted Sister covered Leader of the Pack in the 80’s.

@darkwitnesslxx Год назад

Not to be pedantic, the NY Dolls, who were produced by the same producer didn't cover Give Him a Great Big Kiss, they only used the iconic L-U-V opening line for another song.

There were similar songs. What about Teen Angel by Mark Dining or My Boyfriend's Back by the Angels? Or It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To?

@elizabethmcmurray968 Год назад

Now that's a true story!! I had forgotten Dee did this one!! Twisted Sister was one of the best hair bands in history. And for many years, after the whole tipper gore censorship fiasco, Dee Snider topped my list of coolest rock gods ever.

@bert_towle Год назад

Teenage Tragedy genre. The Shangs were 2 pairs of sisters from Queens, New York. The lead was Mary Weiss (15 when this was recorded), twins Marge and Mary Ann Genser (16) and Betty Weiss (17). They got cheated out of royalties like so many others and weren't allowed to perform due to litigation. If want to see them perform, look for "Give Him A Great Big Kiss" and "Right Now And Not Later" on a show called Shindig. It's live singing with a studio band.

@dennisflury6942 Год назад

Yes he died, you hear him speed off and squealing car tires as he is hit! A boy friend or girl friend dying was a huge part of the 60's. the absolute best was J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers, Last Kiss (will tear your heart out)! it's a you gotta do it! Then Teen Angel, followed by Dickee Lee "Tell Laua" and of course, Rocky, (will tear your heart out)!

@markzellmer3223 Год назад

Daddy made her break up with him, then he sped off upset about it (I begged him to go slow) and then he crashed it.

@cjpew Год назад

Great song! Try Last Kiss next. There's 2 versions from the 60s, and surprisingly Pearl Jam did a cover which I just love.

@ionacustoyreviews857 Год назад

And on a side note Pearl Jam’s version of last kiss was recorded for a charity single EP for refugees from Uganda or kosovar. I can’t remember where

Another song that they should hear is "Forever Free", by W.A.S.P., which has a particular similarity in what it about.

Most all the clips are from The Wild One movie starring Marlon Brando, you probably don’t know who he was but an iconic Hollywood star, I don’t know if you’ve reacted to The Godfather ( an iconic movie from the ‘70’s) he was well known for that and many others, east of Eden and many others

@ellen6638 Год назад

East of Eden was James Dean

@fredwalsh4095 Год назад

Mary Weiss, the lead singer, had one of most distinct sounds and was still singing until a few years ago. They had some great hits this being one of their biggest but you should check out others like, Walking in the sand, Give a great big kiss. ❤

I would love to see your reaction to In A Gadda Divida by Iron Butterfly 🦋 it is supposed to be In The Garden of Eden but they were so high on drugs this is what came out. You will love the drum solo😮

@deaniej2766 Год назад

And the organ solo was epic, but only in the long version. You don't get the same experience from the "radio" version. If you want a LOT of drums, try Wipe Out. Your son would love it.

@cherylpohahau676 Год назад

The long version is just fantastic. My memories are slow dancing to this with that guy I liked at the time and it is not a slow dancing song. I still hear the drum beat in my head.

@TheDivayenta Год назад

Omg. They were fantastic. You could tell that organist was classically trained. My memory is driving home in the rain during that solo with my high school crush after a folk rock church service!
