One of the best albums ever, every single track is freakin fantastic

The fact that Supertramp is seldom mentioned on any “greatest” list is criminal.

One whistle and three claps. Genius.

Fantastic song. As a metal head growing up in the 80s, all of 70s music that seemed "acceptable" was the harder stuff like Sabbath, Zeppelin etc. So it took me some time to discover those more "sophisticated" 70s rock bands like Supertramp, Steely Dan etc. Glad I did eventually.

Your analysis is perfect. Roger was sent away to boarding school for 10 years (Most middle & upper class boys are). He wrote this song in his late teens, before joining Supertramp.

Supertramp great band. Great sound..Great mix..Great songs and lyrics.Great reaction ❤

Supertramp earned their superstar status one song, one record, at a time. This song from from the very successful album BREAKFAST IN AMERICA was their crowning jewel of the decade. Other songs like RUDY, HIDE IN YOUR SHELL, TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME, and the excellent musical journey of CHILD OF VISION are worth a listen. Keep that inner child open and alive for as long as you can, Maddie. It keeps the smile on your face. And that makes us all happy. Enjoy

Yup, Supertramp didn't have a prodigious output, relative to other bands of their era, but what they released stood out and was excellent.

I sometimes think that returning to that childlike sense of wonder is the whole purpose of our adult life. It's Dorothy Gale going back home from Oz. It's Adam & Eve re-entering the Gates of Eden.

Their concerts were unreal. I saw them a few times and each show was incredible. They are all exceptional musicians and performers their music was a huge part of my life at the time. Great reaction thank you. 🤟✌

Supertramp is an amazing musical journey to experience. They are very unique.

This is an excellent song by Supertramp that was deservedly a huge international hit in the late 70's. Nice 🎷! ( This is the official studio version )

Supertramp always has pretty interesting lyrics. They get intense, but their instrumentation is always unique and very creative. Really good stuff! Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂

These guys were some of my favorite musicians. I love the strange, but super innovative way they did this song.

I think this was the best sax ever included in a song. Supertramp was extraordinary. Best regards from Chile 🙂

Goodbye Stranger HAS to be next by these geniuses. :)

love this song & group! "Breakfast in America" one of my favorite albums!!

Killer jams 😢great band 👌 Rock on Maddy 🤘

It is an overall great song and the saxophone just kills it!

Oh yeah, that sax intro is downright filthy, love it!

very well written and played song... a classic

This song was written primarily by the band's Roger Hodgson, who based the lyrics on his experiences being sent away to boarding school for ten years.

‘Watch what you say they’ll be calling you a radical a liberal, fanatical a criminal’ Sounds like one of the presidential candidates.

Saxophone is the most amazing instrument ever🤘🏼🤌🏼🔥

An earlier song on the same general topic is "School". It winds up being emotional in a different way. My other favorite is Fool's Overture, but that is probably not one that people would react to among the first of Supertramp's songs.

This song brings back so many memories. And something I didn't expect listening to it again is how much more it says to me now all these years later. When this first came out, we were all excited by their unusual musical mixes and style. Now the words mean more to me than ever. Thanks for your reaction.

Maddy, you nailed the meaning your first time out. "Justbecauseness" is my new favorite word!

Awesome, I never really considered what he was saying, but as I teach myself to walk again, I realize that I took a lot for granted, but my daughter reminds me to remember and to dream and to appreciate the simple things...thank you for the reminder

Great song. Personally I prefer "Bloody Well Right." The intro is beyond exquisite. One of the best I have heard in my 68 years of life.

Yes. I have one. It’s a siren whistle. I used one in the seventies.

I was 20 years old when the album, "Breakfast In America" which this song was on was released in 1979. The entire album is great. My favorite songs beside this one were "Goodbye Stranger", "Breakfast in America", and "Take the Long Way Home".

Hi Maddy! You're killing it with your choices and reactions! Please check out their song "School" from the 1974 Crime of the Century album. It's a cool vibe and contrast to this one, one of my faves Thanks ✌️ ☮️ 🎸🎶 🎵 ❤️ 🇺🇸

One of my favorites of Supertramp. Wonderful band thank you Maddy!!

Great Song Great Album Great Band From a 76 year old that grew up with them.

Spot on analysis 👍🏻 it’s about how the innocence and wonder of childhood can quickly give way to worry and cynicism as children are taught to be responsible adults.

Yes indeed Maddy! There are joyous&light adults who are able to nurture the child within&around them. Many are artists of one type or another, who are productive in their chosen craft exactly cuz they can connect to their child.

This is a great song from about 50 years ago and still sounds good!!

Breakfast in America is definitely a classic. Should react to the title song next

Just listen to the lyrics of this masterpiece. Roger Hodgson is singing about being sent away to school as a boy and the emotional trauma he went through. It's a wonderful track.

John Helliwell uses a Siren Whistle !

Saw them live 3Xs. First time was 1975 "Crime of the Century" tour when I was 15 years old. Still in the top 10 favorite concerts. Also saw "Even in the Quietest Moments" tour and "Breakfast in America" tour.

This song and album are a total classic, thanks for the reaction! Your talk about being a free spirit actually made me think of "Bad Sneakers" by Steely Dan. That's another classic hope you give it a listen too.

Great reaction. And they have a ton of great stuff. Check out one of their slightly earlier hits that was on the radio all the time when I was in grade school, I still love it to this day. Bloody Well Right.

Supertramp is my favorite band, I love that you like them!😍

Best of the clips I've seen, always loved this one.

Yes Maddy. You're on it. It is an emotional song of doubt and introspection. You nailed it. Your analysis says a whole lot about your intellect. Love your thoughtful reactions.

That kind of lyrics and upbeat songs are the brand of Supertramp.. I recommend you to listen to Rudy, School, Take the Long Way Home.... this band is amazing .. so much bangers!!

The whistle bowing was meant to as a sound but also whisle blower as a part of the song as a person who is finding out they've been lied to

Brilliant song written by Roger Hodgson from his personal experience of being sent away to a boarding school as a child.

i love your smile...

That whistle is called a siren whistle

I believe that would be a variety of whoopee whistle. great reaction

Just Becauseness!! Just like the whistle!! I Like It! These guys have some good tunes. BLOODY WELL RIGHT!! A terrific song. So different I didn't know it was them! Great job! Next! 🕊️☮️😎

This was huge in the 70s 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

They were great in concert

Great tune. I remember it well. Strangely enough, probably more appropriate today than it was back then when it was originally released.

Roger wrote this to relate to his growing up and being sent away to a boarding school to be taught how to be a man and his questioning all that. An incredible juxtaposition of the heavy lyrics and the happy music

🔥🔥🔥😳🔥🔥🔥 .. great choice Maddy !! I love this song , I particularly like how it rhymes. The singer has an excellent voice. Good stuff. 👍

Ere las 5 mejores bandas de todos los tiempos, por todo.

I think that was his Sax mouthpiece.

Supertramp had a unique sound.

i hear ya Maddy, Supertramp has emotional content to a lot of their songs ... Take The Long Way Home and Goodbye Stranger are two others like that

Supertramp was this awesome studio band that was just showing off! why is there no talent like this?!

This was too good to hear at 11 years young.

Other great band from Canada. is Motion Device.

At 5:10 you hear the sound from the Mattel handheld football game - the sound made when a player loses the ball. This was a very popular game in 1979 and the early 80’s.

At night when all the word's asleep the question's run so deep

I love it when you react to bands I was listening to in my teens. Thank you.❤ Loved your analysis and you are bang on. Too often we forget the “child within” and lose our playfulness.

This song has a very Taoist message: childhood wonder and innocence destroyed by societal responsibilities, then the realization (enlightenment) of rediscovering the wonder of life by returning to simplicity.

Thanks Maddy!!😍

This is the results of a band of virtuoso musicians who also happen to be geniuses. This is the music of my generation

Breakfast in America Crime of the century Great records to react to. "Rudy"

Glad I found your channel

Now listen to the better version of this song done earlier by Supertramp - School - on their Crime of the Century album.

You got it.

Of course you can go on talking about the subject at 7:05. It is the main theme of this song and a reality of the power structures validated in the educational system.

Memorable song no doubt!

Supertramp had a great run of four terrific LPs from 1974 to 1979 with Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis?, Even in the Quietest Moments, and Breakfast in America. A curious blend of elements of prog and art rock and bluesy pop. More from the 1970s could include songs and albums by the bands Steely Dan and also 10cc. Plenty more, of course.

Goodbye Stranger

Great reaction! From a lifetime Prince fan, I would like you to react to Prince and the Revolution live in 1985 American Music Awards!!! 💜💜💜

the title and beat and some of the words from this song have been turned into a clubland dancetrack by Scooter

Maddy, by the way, Band Maid is concluding their 10th Anniversary tour at Yokohama Arena on November 26th. The crowd size for the concerts is estimated to be around 15,000 people. Their largest concert attendance ever. It is expected to be Livestreamed and have all the lights, back screen, and pyrotechnics associated with a large live concert.

Not a big Supertramp fan but I like this song. To me the song describes an almost child like innocence in the beginning and as we grow up how society and politics makes us into programmed robots and labels us as 'radicals," "liberal," etc. I could be wrong but that's how I see the song.

Their first hit, "Bloody Well Right" is a totally different vibe, but a great song.

The lyrics are deep,and telling a story, but he could be singing blah blah blah and this song would be a hit.The music is the hook.
