I heard that they were in the studio and he did the stutter as a joke, and when they went to actually record he dropped the stutter. The producer said”wait why are you doing it different now?” He said “oh we were just joking around with that” the producer told them to keep it in…. Good call

The song was originally just simple chords the band played ad lib for sound checks. The band did the standard vocals like “check one two three” to balance the audio. Randy’s brother had a stutter so Randy was initially just doing sibling teasing and made up some lines. They were all laughing and the audience loved it. Randy was very reluctant to record it, but it became a hit.

This song is another reason why I loved growing up listening to the music from the 70's.

Fall of 1974 lets go back Seniors Class of 75 best ever ❤

Now you need to hear "Takin' Care of Business".

The guitar Randy is playing will have a documentary about it in the near future. It was his favorite and he composed many hits on it. It was stolen in the mid 1970s and he had searched for it ever since. A man read about it and went on a quest to find it. He was a able to identify the unique wood pattern and found it being played by a musician in Japan. Randy agreed to buy the guy another similar guitar to get his back. He has yet to fly to Japan to recover it.

When that song came out in the 70's, it was on every jukebox. Great tune. And band. BTO has a lot of great music. As mentioned already, "Taking Care of Business" should be your next one. Y'all will love it.

3:00 One of the reasons why you love 70's music, is that they used minor chords much more than composers do now, a minor chord in music tugs at your heart (which is why classical writers use it so often)

Born in 68 and came of age in the 80s, but the 70s contributed so much to the culture that many songs from my early childhood have become anthems.

Amen!

Rob would like BTO's sledgehammer-the song sounds like the title-heavy riff that rocks!! Other BTO hits include-Let It ride, roll On Down the Highway and Shotgun Rider. If you like cowbells-check out the Chamber Brothers-The time Has Come Today and the group Mountain with Mississippi Queen.

Yes, Sledgehammer and there were a number of great songs that weren't hits, but soooo good. Reactors don't get into the non hit music much, so miss a lot!

oh yeah "Time Has Come Today" - so good.

I learned from an interview with Randy Bachman years and years ago that he wanted BTO to be a rhythm based rock band. But I didn't know until very recently that they were sharing a dressing room with the Doobie Brothers in New Orleans during Mardi Gras in the first half of the 1970s when he worked out some of "Let It Ride" and the Doobies then based "Long Train Running" on his guitar noodlings as he ironed it out. That is astonishing and good to know because the Doobies are one of my all time favourite bands! Randy said in that interview eons ago, back in the 1970s IIRC, that he wanted a band that was rhythmically similar to CCR and the Doobies. Killer rhythm was the thing back in the 1970s and is much too absent from today's music. And BTO has so many excellent lead guitar solos! 😉🎸👌 That "70s sound of guitar" comes from there not being many guitar pedals to alter the sound of the guitar at the time. So if you were going to be an excellent guitarist you had to have "touch" in your fingers. There are plenty of good guitar players around today but also way too many that bury the actual tone of their guitars underneath a ton of effects pedals. The really good guitar players around today will tell you to develop your own signature "sound" with your guitar before drifting off into "guitar pedal-land" and obscurity because you just sound like some over processed thing that no one can get next to in their heart and mind. The lead guitarist in this song was Blair Thornton from Vancouver. 🎸🎸🎸

YOU TWO ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER 🤣🔥💥🌹.... MAD LOVE 🖤 KEEP ROCKING THE '70S.... I WAS BORN IN 1964, SO I JUST MADE IT HAHAHA !!! WINK 😉

The BTO song that everyone remembers is "Taking Care of Business"

They were a great band; please do more reaction’s to them. Love you guys.❤️🙏🏽

This takes me back to the skate inn.They used to have an all night skate.You had to check by 11:00 pm and couldn’t leave until 7:00 a.m. unless a parent or guardian picked you up.My feet were so sore!😄

Aaah Amber - First Lady of 70s cool! Just love her reactions to some of the music! Rock On, Gurl!

Their song 'Hey You' definitely deserves a listen. The best of BTO in their prime.

Great suggestion….LOVE Hey You! Once it was playing in the radio when I went through a Tim Hortons drive through and I just kept singing along when I pulled up to the window.

This is my favorite B.T.O song but when I was a kid my sister had the 45 "Hey You" which I recommend. They do seem like a fun band.

AwesomeBTO is one of my all time favorite bands. Randy Bachman is a musical genius still writing songs today👍🤠🌵💚🏜💚

I L L L L L LOVE this song !!!

Check out no sugar tonight/new mother nature by the guess who

YES, it was special times.

Amber you are truly a 70’s soul - the BEST decade of music EVER!!!❣️❣️

While being 60 might not sound like a benefit, living through these musical periods and how each song connected to my life is something that is organic. It is as if these songs were trading cards coming out one at a time, sometimes in bunches with connections to one another and still able to fan them out mentally. I am glad you are finding new music you love and sharing it with others. BTO was big and really different at the time.

Well said! As a fellow 60+ this is a thrill to watch our songs come back via these reaction videos. RSR has that excited new discovery approach that is a kick. A&A has a more cerebral reaction but with depth and a musical background. It is all awesome to me.

Amber you're right about the 70's. It was AMAZING. I turned 15 tears old in 1970 so my teen and young adult years were in that decade. I danced and sang my way through them. Ahhh sweet memories. These songs are bringing it all back. Thanks guys.

me to as im crying

I was 16 in 1976, I drove a 1966 Chevelle (2 door of course) I had an under dash 8 track tape player with this tape in most of the time. My hair was long my weed was cheap and life was worth living. I am 63 now and my hair is long, my Harley is loud and life is good. Thank you two for bringing back my youth for a few moments with your youth hearing the music with young ears and fresh minds. I love you guys. You Rock my world!!! Thank you. CsC
