Ferry, Bryan - The 'In' Crowd Lyrics

Loved this,still do.

I don't know where the term 'Wall of Sound' came from... maybe Roxy Music??

there was a club thurs nights in bolton under the palais called the nocturne and thurs night was roxy night, me and my ex wife went before we was married for a lonnggg time. roxy music aka brian ferry everything was played...

Awesome song! Awesome version of *"The "In" Crowd."* I've heard the song before, but none like this.

Im old! Bought this record when it came out! The best version ever....

490, baby! im in. :)

Another time, another place...

Along with All I want is you(Him crying over Jerry Hall)these are some of the best.Unbelievably they bombed in the States, Madison Square Garden,they couldn't get on with him,but liked Freddie.

💚 😂 💚 ....... ⭐ 21 hours ago 😲 ........ Yes keep up ?

Great intro , and a lot better than the original version .

step dad got me into this guy I always put this on when my life is flying high

Respect to you and your stepdad.x

As slick as a sexy oil spill.

Sounds like David Byrne got some singing ideas from this.

This song has Bowie's name written all over it--he wished he'd recorded it first

Yes, a Bowie sound to the backing. Not hard to imagine Bowie singing.

the most beautiful and eclectic music of Our Generation genius in the making Bryan Ferry you are my idol and mentor

Bryan Ferry the best ever genius of music and style we will never see anyone like his style and Prestige and genius

he is so modern,....could have recorded today...best, ellen streger

Someone confirm for me that this is satirical - I've got somebody here who actually thinks these lyrics are to be taken at face value.

Tony Bates he didn’t even write it

Tony Bates not satirical. didn't you see the cool kids talking about trump.

Timeless and uber cool..

I can't stop listening to Roxy. I love you Bryan. You r a genius

Roxy music the best rock and roll band in the universe

The best ever Brian Ferry you are the best ever

Bugger off, mate. You ruined Ramsey Lewis's original. AuntieSoul34, he had no clue what cool is or was. But you young poofters enjoy it anyway.

John Tiggleman get your head out of your ass already

I actually heard this years - nay decades before the Dobie Gray original (?) but also love the "Trio's" version, along with this "rocky" version. Shakes the dust of me woofers a treat.

Tried everywhere to get them green bags the cool sod

Bought the record -74 I think. I was 15 years. But it sound like yesterday.

Just had to listen to that great guitar solo

This is was the song I used to get ready to when I went to the clubs in the 80's

And me!

That’s a lovely image to evoke :) thanks for sharing

Clubs in the eighties.....aaahhhhhhhh...I miss them so...

Always love this song-the production was awesome- saw & heard them live twice- only remember one of those concerts- the other was Red stage lights & two gals in uniforms- the 2nd was at the famous Chicago Uptown Theater- it officially closed soon after. It still sits there-decomposing.

I'm sure he sings 'We wheeze up and down the street..' - I always envisaged a load of blokes in leather jackets and shades with cigarettes hanging our of their mouths.

Universal Queen Gaia Victoria Gray Wolf Stagg to the double Gee Gee. This is you this is! <3

Perfect 4 the New York's pre punk scene and the social situation at the time

Davie O'list on guitar. Only know him from the Nice...

@PrizewinnersPaws Early Roxy Music lead guitarist before they hit the big time...a very underrated guitarist who should be recognised because of his unique style and nobody's heard of him. A fantastic Intro and an even better Outro.

Yes this is Davy O'List. Phil's style was taken from Davy.

@Dan Hermon Nope. It's Davy.

@Martin Harnevie You could say depending on your point of view that he was a founding member of Roxy, he started off as their first Lead Guitarist but left shortly afterwards before the release of Virginia Plain and Re Make Re Model which I'm sure was Roxy's first Single release but didn't chart. I could be wrong,.....Wiki may hold the answer or the Roxy Music Site.

you are ALL so wrong.
it is CHRIS SPEDDING

hard to believe its 1974, so before its time

I was 21 years old that year...remember the song well...was in flight school...THOSE WERE THE DAYS BABY

It's a cover ;-) ... The song is *way* older than that

Britain was my whole world growing up. America was so behind the times.

Bom musico Brayn Ferry

Wow, one of my fave ever tracks. An amazing combi of styles, which hasn't been bettered

Love this song and the album !

THE IN CROWD!!!!

We're all here Lorraine ! :  ))

This has the best quality upload, thanks.  Great chords!

Hey Lawrence!  Thankyou!   Just love this, and the chords.. Oh Yess!    :p

@AuntieSoul34
So rockin'....still remember the first night I heard this.  These chords resonated through my brain all night.......
Auntie rocks!

The changes after the A7 are a bitch though!

this cover version has something "nasty": Dobie Gray or Mamas and Papas are ironic and cool, this one is decadent and it is a sort of forecasting of the Blank Generation.

It's the 'nasty' that makes it sooo good. It is bursting at the seams with raw, sexy abandon - hugely energetic - so possible to lose oneself in. And no doubt some got lost in that abandon.

The London show in 2007 opened with this one (and it's a very nice version), and his white shirt was fresh and clean. By the end of the show, it was transparent on his body. He makes it look effortless but hmm, I think he's working it. Can't wait to catch him this fall in merrie olde Oxford.

Hey m23c2sh! Thanx..For me this is the best version by a mile! I think this was the point at which Bryan Ferry became the epitome of Cool!! :p

I never knew he did this song. I love it.
