Money well spent...😜🎸

Money definitely well spent. 🎶

😂💯

Tell me that’s not vernon wells (baddie from commando) on bass.

Honestly, I really don't know.

😂

😂😂😂 love the song not so much the video.

That's all you get for $10...😂

True, but there is a worse video. Helloween i want out.

They may have been a one hit wonder, but what a massive hit. It has stood the test of time.😎

I Wonder What They Spent The Other Ten Dollars On ?

Whoa, Black Betty (bam-ba-lam) Whoa, Black Betty (bam-ba-lam) Black Betty had a child (bam-ba-lam) The damn thing gone wild (bam-ba-lam) She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (bam-ba-lam) The damn thing gone blind (bam-ba-lam)

Good deal lol saw Ram Jam live back when this was a hit. No pun intended. I didn’t find out until recently that this was an old folk/blues song made famous by Leadbelly.

You don't need pyrotechnics, fancy camera work, expensive threads, just awesome music!

Written and first performed by Huddie William Ledbetter aka 'Leadbelly'

Correction: they spent 40$ and borrowed grandmas super 8.

A bag of weed did not cost $30 in 1977. Just saying.

That’s one of my top 10 videos, early MTV, raw rock and roll at its finest.

Oh ya

In the 70's, these were high school kids.

"Woah Black Betty Blama Lama". More like this please.

In 77 that bought good weed.

One of my late father's favorites 😎...

Easily Top 5 all-time

What did they spend the other $10 on?

Which inspires...

😆😆

Weed, what a drug.....

Hahahahaha good one

😂

Im doing my business taxes today.. I needed a laugh :) Thank you dear...

The song was used as backup music for a strip club in Alloway NY between Lyons and Geneva The Alloway Gristmill

Twin's ‼️

Legend

I’d say … 10 Weed 20 Blow But C’mon Fam A’ Lam we ALL know Ram Jam ain’t paying a dime for anything, they get all the good shit on the house!!

Back then, the guitar player could actually get laid.

😂🔥

Whoa black betty!

Definitely a brilliant use of money 💵, and the song is absolutely fantastic.
