In 1975 when I was 20 I bought my Green 1965 GTO 389 4spd. I named it Green Onions because this song is so cool. I still own the GTO today and hopefully until the day i die.

Doesnt matter how you found this song, lets all agree to just cruise along with it shall we?

This song represents everything cool about cruising on a warm summer night. I don’t care what your taste is..from the kids in their drift cars to the old schoolers in the hot rods…this song should be on your playlist. ✌️

One of the most influential and best instrumental songs ever!

Myself and future family had this playing in 71 whilst touring France and Italy. Now in my 70, s and still groove to the sound...Green Onions for ever

[colincooper-gwzf]

Still amazing, I am 77 and still love it.

You've got to unearth a song like this from time to time to keep in mind what music is about.

My son played keyboard on this for his Middle School Jazz Band in 2007 for the State Competition. They nailed it and got a standing ovation. ❤️

This song don't need words..it's got heart

[Heated_Wigwam]

I had no idea people disliked warped records so much! If it plays without skips, it works for me. A little warp ain't hurtin the sound on this video

I need a one hour version of this song

Booker T Jones was an absolutely outstanding songwriter.

I used to roller skate to this song in 1960s. Love it. I was 13, 14, 15 and 16.

[williamstarkey]

This is the quintessential Rock and roll song . . . The chords say it all !!!

[BrianBurke]

This was so ahead of its time. Sounds like something from ‘71 but it’s from ‘62.

[andrewschrotenboer]

Got to meet him and shake his hand at a concert that he had in my hometown. Very nice person with the coolest groove.

[DJRenee]

It's amazing what songs slap you right back in your childhood. I must have heard this song on repeat. I know every single nuance and I haven't heard this song in maybe a decade.

[BoltActionShark]

Playing Skate on the xbox 360 and hearing this bop is nostalgic af.
