So much so, it's been covered extensively (and unselfconsciously, I might add) by many rock bands, although many aren't particularly well-known: The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The Mission, Tank, Lawnmower Deth, Neal Morse, The Frames, KMFDM, Electric Six, Pretty Maids, Tigertailz, and Butcher Babies. Westlife covered the song live in 2003, and even performed the song alongside Donny Osmond. Pop Will Eat Itself sampled the record on their 1988 single "Def Con One". The song was also covered by Tigertailz on the 2010 live album "Bezerk: Live...Burnin' Fuel." The song was also covered by Mat Sinner on the solo album "Back to the Bullet 1990." Donny Osmond recorded a new version of the song as a hidden bonus track on his 2002 covers album "Somewhere in Time," and performs the song frequently on his tours.-------Wikipedia

At the time they started, I was into all things power pop, and I know that they were considered at least on the edges, but I was more focused on Jellyfish, Teenage Fanclub, Parthenon Huxley, and a few others. I recall hearing Redd Kross, and again, recall seeing them (opening for J-fish, maybe?), but not really digging what they were doing, particularly. But, now, the archeological dig begins anew!

@@ericosmond.official Oh yeah! I was NEVER daunted by the people who did not appreciate their talent. I can't understand why it wasn't as obvious to everybody as it was to me that the their talent was at the highest level you could possibly reach. I think The Osmonds Christmas album is one of the best Christmas albums I have ever heard. I have every album they have ever released. (My favorite is Love Me for a Reason.) At age 61(I'm Marie's age!), I can no longer be accused of loving their music because I'm a "teenybopper"! HaHa!! From the time I was a child until now I fully appreciate the tight harmonies & superb writing & arranging skills of these massively underappreciated vocal artists!! I am so blessed to have had their music be a huge part of my life. I have had disabling health problems since I was born, causing me a lifetime of severe pain and illness, but without the angelic voices of Alan, Wayne, Merril, Jay, Donny, Jimmy & Marie it would have been unbearable. I hope you will please tell them I said "Thank you from the bottom of my heart" and that I remain one of their original fans from the early 1970s!!! I love their music now as much as ever! And Marie is an inspiration to me!!! I mean, being the same age as she is, it gives me great hope that if she looks that amazing then I can too! LOL!! I don't look too bad for my age, but she is out-of-this-world gorgeous!! I would love to meet her (and Donny!) one day. Love & Blessings to all! Beverly XO9

This was about ecology and way ahead of its time. The Osmonds are legends and Donny was on the keyboard Jay took the verses with Merrill then taking over. They were regulars on The Andy Willams when much younger than this where they had to learn routines every week, learnt how to play instruments in a week for the Andy Williams show the following week's episode learnt to ice skate so by the time they left were ready for another gear change recorded one bad apple and pop stardom took of, Donny made solo songs concerts with his brothers and later recorded with sister Marie and on 1974 they had their own variety show The Donny and Marie Show where they did sketches, musical numbers with various guest stars and at the start of the show would do a little routine on the ice after they sang their opening number so this family worked since they were kids. Walt Disney heard Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay were doing barber shop quartet duels with one of his groups and from their history was made.

I saw them in Lexington, Ky. at the Rupp Arena. I think it was in 1977. I was 15 at the time. I was so excited to get to see them in concert! Thank you for the blast from the past!

The MGM singles...."Crazy Horses" and "Hold Her Tight" were released to widen their demographic for an older audience...trying to get away from their "preteen/teenie bopper" image. The Osmonds projects utilized some of the best recording studios and session musicians.

And unfortunately for them, they did back up singing and dancing for skits on Donny and Marie show. No one would take them seriously after that. They were so under rated because the whole family was extremely talented. Too bad the Osmonds (original four or even after Donny joined) too bad they couldn't move forward.

Thanks Jamel, that was HILARIOUS !!!! As much as the Osmond's may have wanted to be "rockers", they will always be known for their teenie bop songs like Go Away Little Girl, One Bad Apple, and Puppy Love.

Donny is on the keyboards, you can tell because he's wearing purple, his fave color. Glad the other brothers got a chance to sing on this one for once. I never knew what this song was about myself! Thanks for telling me, now I can sleep. XD I liked this song as a kid since I briefly liked the Osmonds and horses...so I thought it was about wild horses. Silly moi.

You have hit my childhood now. I grew up with their cartoon show that even had the youngest brother Jimmy who was two years older than me and that was before Marie started her career. Jay actually came up with a lot of the choreography. He's the one singing lead out in front here. He usually is behind the drums. The bass player, Merrill, was the main lead singer until little Donny got so popular. Donny was behind the keyboards on this one. They were often color coded in their outfits: Wayne, the oldest, on guitar ,was usually in blue, Wayne, the next oldest, on lead guitar was orange, Merrill on bass, was in black, Jay, the drummer, was in green, and of course Donny who usually played keyboards, was in purple. Jimmy would be in red whenever he would join them. You ought to check out a state fair concert video they had around this time. They are wearing jumpsuits like Elvis, that were actually designed by the same guy. They are all white, trimmed with their signature colors. You'll see a lot of choreography in their other videos. Check out their performance of Yo-Yo on the Flip Wilson show. That one will really entertain you. Love Me for a Reason was another good one. You can also see many of their dance moves and crazy costumes when they would appear on The Donny and Marie Show from the late 70s. I had such a crush on Marie back then.

HaHa! I've just found your Crazy Horses reaction video & after hearing it I was prepared to post a comment to educate you about the Osmonds, but as I read many of the comments here I am surprised & thrilled to see I am not the only Osmonds super-fan on here! All I will add is that the song is about pollution. I didn't read all of the comments, so if someone already mentioned that I apologize for re-stating that. BTW, I have been watching ur channel a lot because I'm a Pentaholic, but when I saw this I was tickled to see you posting it! And I also now see that you did a Kate Bush video & she is my absolute 80s idol!!! Mr. jamal I salute you for your excellent taste in music sir!! I am subbed!!

I'm sad it took me 2 years to find this!! Lifelong Osmond fan here, so glad to see people loving this. Merrill Osmond could've gone up against any of the great metal screamers of the day, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, you name it. It's a shame they never got to make the music they really wanted to make. They also did some great Motown covers too. Now try "Hold Her Tight" from the same album. It's a major jam too. They had jumpsuits that Elvis would've been jealous of, & if you like their choreography you need to check out them doing "Yo Yo" on the Flip Wilson show, you can see the jumpsuits AND the awesome choreography.
