WE HAVE TO PLAY THIS FOR OUR KIDS!!! THE COASTERS - YAKETY YAK (REACTION) 

This is parenting #101. No talking back to one's parents (Yakety Yak 'Don't Talk Back). Or the kids will not listen to rock and roll music, no allowance, no going out on a Friday night. If they don't do their fair share around the house. And oh, one more thing... "Don't forget to bring in the Dog and put out the Cat." Just love this. Great reaction as always.

We need to bring this type of parenting back . The world would be a better place

This was how parents talked to kids back then. No negotiations...just do it. Disobey your mother and your father would deal with you. Song fro 1957 or 58. I was 9 or 10 so I didnt have to worry about going out on Friday night.

"Get A Job" by the Silohuettes is along the same vein as this-with a little bit more DoWap. You'll laugh as parents!

Another great Coasters' song, used in movies, is "POISON IVY". EVERYONE LOVES IT--PLEASE REACT TO IT.

The Coasters are one of the great Doo Wop groups. Cant believe there hasn't been more views. Don't give up on these guys Shawn and Mel. ❤

Known for their novelty songs they were a hoot. Another one to sample is “Along came Jones” which is a take off on the old cliff hanger serial movies in the thirties. Fun group during a fun period in early rock and roll period.

Back in the day we had "sock hops". These were dances where you took off your shoes so you wouldn't scuff the gym floor!!! And kids---for the most part, listened to their parents...

Your reactions are great. I grew up in the 50's and 60's listening to all this music. Mel, you've said that you like fun songs and you like country music. If you put those two things together, you get the one and only ROGER MILLER. "King of the Road", "Dang Me", "Chug-A-Lug", "Do-Wacka-Do", and many more.

THE COASTERS were just a FUN GROUP!!! I ALWAYS LOVED THEM when I was young!!

The Coasters have lots of hits, some of their slower songs are "Just Like a Fool". "Down Home Girl", or One Kiss Led to Another". I grew up in the 80's and 90's but I found a Little Anthony and the Imperials tape in my dad's car one day and I've been stuck on the oldies ever since. Those days had real singers and the best music, in my opinion.

This is one of the songs I would play on my granny's jukebox in the 60s. And little Richard chuck berry Sam Cooke and many more. Groovy times

That was a fun reaction. Listened to this many times growing up. A song that really makes you hyper. Just play this around little kids and watch them spin out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

"Searchin' " by The Coasters is a bit slower. Most of their hits were in the late '50's. "Poison Ivy" is probably their biggest hit or, at least, their most enduring one.

I remember when I was in the Navy (big mistake) and was in Norfolk, VA to pick up my ship (ship is a big misnomer, it was an escapee from a razor blade factory). I went to a Rock-and-Roll show headlining Jerry Lee Lewis. On the show were the Coasters as well as other performers. Great show. The Coasters were known for a lot of fun music. I'll always remember "Little Egypt" because my mother's name was Eva and all those who worked around her called her Little Eva not just because of the song but she stood about 4'10". But as you can see (or hear) by "Yakety Yak" it's basically a guidebook for parents.

You all are bringing me back to my childhood with this song

Y'all should hear their "Along Came Jones".

Songs I grew up on...your reactions are priceless. Would give you 5 thumbs up if I could. One of the highlights of my day is watching you two (and hearing some tunes from the past). What fun!

"Just tell your hoodlum friends outside, You ain't got time to take a ride"

I mostly grew up in the sixties and The Rock and Soul music of that time but I am proud to say that when I grew up in a great time with a mix of the 50s and 60s and beyond. So it is heartwarming and other great adjectives to see you really enjoy the fifties Do Wap right now and the other genres of the 60s 70s and even the 80s.

I'm glad I found you guys,I'm 73 years old and bot this brings back memories....keep enjoying

They are not only talented but hilarious!

Hell yeah! Love me some 30’s-60’s rock and rockabilly and all the other names.

The great King Curtis on sax, not Boots Randolph as someone else suggested. King Curtis was under contract to Atlantic. Boots Randolph recorded 'Yakety Sax' (made famous by Benny Hill) which may be confusing some people.

I'm laughing so hard watching you two I got tears in my eyes

Your father's hip he knows what cooks. Too good

Oh LOL!!!! Do I remember THIS one! What a deep voice that guy had!

The Coasters were always good for a laugh...they always did these comedy songs. this one the parents and kids could laugh about together.

Love the O's hat, and the Metallica shirt! This is the music my favorite uncle was playing all the time. I was a fan from the start.

My parents had this record and I grew up playing it on repeat in the 70s and 80s.

The way that sax comes in never gets old.

You know what I love about y'all Chanel , you all open to all music.

when I used to take my grandkids back and forth to school they always requested this song then always sang along to it,they were all in elementary school at the time

You've got this backwards: This song wasn't written for the parents to play to their kids - It was written BY the kids about their parents.

Isn’t this a wonderful oldie? We danced very fast to this one. There was no talking back in my day, not at home nor at school. 😅

I really like the drum work in this song; it almost sounds careless, it's so energetic.

The movie The Great Outdoors opens with this song, that's how a 70's kid fell in love with it! My parents love this song!!

Yakety Yak! “ remember this song very well, isn’t it cute? 😂🤣

They sang Doo Wop, R&B and early Rock & Roll. Always liked this 1959 song....its great

It's so great and refreshing that late fifties music is still so listenable and popular 60 years later!

This was released in April 1958, 6 months before I was born. But I heard this song played on the radio as a little boy, and it was fun.

Little Egypt. Give it a listen. Love you guys. Enjoy the music with y'all.

Every Coaster song is brilliant...

I often to this together with Parents Just Don't Understand from the 1980s. They seem to complement each & show how things never change. 😀

You guys with the best reaction to this song, not even close.

This was what we loved back in the day.

The great Boots Randolph on sax. Yes this was a big hit. "Poison Ivy", "Little Egypt" and "Searchin' " next please. This one was released in 1958. I had the great pleasure in seeing these guys in the early 60's here in NYC. The days y'all.

My dad had this record when I was young and for as long as I can remember I’ve loved this song

Don’t talk back!😂 Love this song

The Coasters were great fun. That's what music was like in the '50s and early '60s ("Yakety Yak" was 1958.) You got a kick out of this one, so you're bound to like "Poison Ivy" and "Charlie Brown" from '59. Also from '59 was "Love Potion #9" by The Clovers!

Finally someone checking out The Coasters!

How can you not feel the 50s with this FABULOUS band I have always loved them Coolest band and deserved more Australia 💕 Christina

love you guys. good people. great reactions. I've loved this song since i was a child in the 70s. 50s black artists are my favs, esp. Fats Domino. Give Fats some love: Be My Guest, What a Party, Blueberry Hill, I'm Walkin etc

How does this not have more views yet??!! This is great!! Great reaction guys!

Written by the kids about their parents. This type of parenting was universal in the 60’s . My parents were always saying , “clean up your room, put out the cat, your hoodlum friends, don’t talk back,bring in the dog, wait till your Father gets home, etc.

A little before my time, but as a 70’s teen my dad bought me their album. I almost wore it out listening to it.

would have loved to have seen them in person my late dad loved this tune and that is the lat King Curtis on sax

Hehehe the kids complain "yakity yak" the parents say "don't talk back!" Love the Coasters hit from 1958!

I remember when this song was on Tiny Toons. When Plucky Duck's mama was making him do everything 😂 My mom used to play this when my room was dirty (or so she thought...) 😅

And we "jitter-bugged" to this!

The Great Outdoors!!!!

Another 45 of my parents I have. Love it.

They were fantastic!

Funny, FUN YOU DANCED LAUGHED, HAD A GREAT TIME

The Boots Randolph hit "Yakety Sax" was absolutely based on this -- a great listen, too!

The Coasters and this song had a huge influence on The Beatles, they covered it in Hamburg and during the BBC shows. They covered Searching too

Love the memories. Thank you ❤️

Benny Hill's closing music on hit 70s shows

With the great "Boots" Randolph on sax.

"Yakety Yak" is from '58 - I was nine. The Coasters were the mother's milk of our youth.

We were the original latch key kids. Both parents had to work. Mom cleaned white peoples homes and Dad, if you had a Dad at home, did whatever he could to earn money. We had choirs, no allowance. Only the allowance of being able to live. Peace and Love.

If you want to lose your mind, listen to the Coasters doing I'm A Hog for You, Baby...written by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, who also wrote Yakety Yak, as well as Hound Dog and many others by Elvis.

I can totally imagine you both making yakkity yak hands to ur kids from now on hahaha. Hand flaps.

I sang this to my Grandkids last week they told me I should record it LOL told them It had been done already in the time of their Great Grandparents in the 50s

I saw them in about 88 Melbourne Australia 👍

This was my dad's parenting style..I first heard this song on Tiny Toons where they did a MTV style music countdown episode with this, Do the Twist, Istanbul, Particle Man, and others.

I listened to my mom's doowop records as a kid. I could tell you what the record label looks like.had no clue who they were. My mom sang with Ritchie Havens and the Chimes in Brooklyn

I always think of 1988 when my dad took my brother and I to see the movie Twins. The part when Arnold Schwarzenegger is singing this song cracks me up. Good old fun song

Bit more parenting like this nowadays would solve a lot of problems

They have a slower song called Poison Ivy, but probably not as slow as what you're wanting. Or there's always their song "Little Egypt"...I guess you could slow dance to that one, although I'd listen to it first so you aren't laughing while you're slow dancing.

❤ oldies

First Heard This Song In The Movie's Twins & All I Want For Christmas

Another song of teen angst is Summer Time Blues by either Johnny Cochran o Blue Cheer.

Gotta help mom and dad❤ with a great tune😂

Love you two. You crack me up. lol

love the sax players the guys had the late King Curtis on sax here

Love this song classic

From my Mom's teenage days, she use to sing it too me

Love this song!

This song had to be the 50s when my mom was growing up I was born in the 60s so most of my music was the 70s but my Mom gave me her 45 (single ) records this one was included the other side of record was by Simon Crum called "stand up sit down shut your mouth " think it was closer to country but rock tune .

"SEARCHIN" is slower, the fledgling Beatles used to cover it when they played in the Cavern in Liverpool and when they played weeks in Hamburg Germany before they were famous. They loved the Coasters

One of my favorite road trip song

the Coasters had the best sense of humor in the rock and roll era. Charlie Brown, Poison Ivy -

Awesome! I forgot this song! Bring in the dog and put out the cat! Haha. ❤️🇨🇦🤓. My parents were veternarians, had 6 cats and one Jack Russell.... ferrets, gerbils, guinea pigs...

Parents' and kids relationships never change.

I used to sing this to my kids to show them what it was like back when!

A great song and reaction!

Believe it or not I played this song for my sisters. It worked.

"Little Egypt" by The Coasters is great ☺

Who remembers this at the opening of "The Great Outdoors" (John Candy and Dan Aykroyd )?
