As for the theme of this song seeming a little like the 50s, you're probably on target. In the early 70s – when this song came out (1972) – there was already a wave of nostalgia for the 50s. The film "American Graffiti" by George Lucas came out the next year (1973), and it was set in the 50s. It was followed by a several year wave of nostalgia for the 50s in songs and TV. "Crocodile Rock," by Elton John, is a 50s nostalgia song, and it came out in 1972, same as "Go All The Way." Another nostalgia hit in '72 was the return of "Hot Rod Lincoln," which was recorded in the 50s.
Great song from the past. 😎
Please play for everyone : Who knows what tomorrow may bring by Traffic
This was power pop at it's finest!
Although they had some other good songs. This is really the only one that hit big. Always loved it. Eric Carmen went on to have a solo career and had a huge hit with the song "All By Myself". More of a slower song but still real good.
Sang this to the love of my life for years til we split
Let’s pretend is a banger
Eric Carmen has a great voice and had a nice solo career. His great solo hit was called All By Myself!

With their first two albums, Raspberries started out wanting to sort of bring back the lost sounds of the previous decade and their first few hits did have an older feel to them, while adding updated technologies and such. Their final two albums moved more into solid '70's sounds. They are considered the godfathers of what has been termed "Power Pop" and were inspired by not only the Beatles, but also the Beach Boys, The Who and Small Faces to a degree. Other great songs from their catalogue: Overnight Sensation (Hit Record), Tonight, I Wanna Be With You and Let's Pretend!
Great choice guys! This was popular when I was in Junior High School and one of my favorites. You should also check out some of Eric Carmen's music, "Hungry Eyes." This didn't come out until the earlys 70's.
Brutha BJ! This song would have NEVER passed the mustard in the 50's! LOL the censors would have shut it down before it ever hit the radio waves! No this song is from the early 70's, takes me back to my mid high school days, cruisin' the strip for chicks 'n stuff…
Eric carmen sang that song from Dirty Dancing too.
Love y'all.
70s classic!
In the first half of the 1970s you would hear practically every song and style imaginable on the radio, including the Raspberries. Eric Carmen ("All By Myself," "Hungry Eyes") was the lead singer, but he went on to a very successful solo career as a singer/ songwriter. When Celine Dion covers one of your songs, you know you've made the big-time.
Great song, as teenage boys, we didn’t pay attention to the words, we just were punk teenagers in the 70’s, we were wishing the girls would say go all the way
I had this album on 8 Track!!
1970's, guys.
The lead singer Eric Carmen had many more solo hits. Hungry Eyes, All by Myself, Never Gonna Fall in Love Again and Make Me Lose Control were his biggest.
Always thought this was a real joyful sounding tune, although the printed lyrics take away from that some – a radio hit in the early 70s. You can tell late 60s/70s from that really chunky guitar tone. Distortion wasn't really happening at all on guitar until "Satisfaction" from the Stones came out in the mid-60s. Thanks guys
One of the best bands of the seventies! Their music was called Power Pop. They had zero bad tunes. Try their tunes, Let's Pretend and I Wanna Be With You. Eric Carmen, Jim Bonfanti, Wally Bryson and Dave Smalley. The Raspberries. Also, to Eric Carmen' solo work.
To bad you didn’t do the live version you would have had a deeper experience…
I'm a rocker I'm a roller is another great song by them!
Alright now children. I hate to bust your bubble, but this was a different time. She can be ready and he can be eager because it’s their wedding night. 😂❤🎉 Didn’t see that coming! Didja? 😂
GREAT song I haven't heard in forever! Rock & pop in the 70s was so good and so much FUN! Nothing but shit out there today.
How weird! I was just thinking of this song earlier today. What a catchy hook! And so surprising that the censors let this sentiment over the airwaves in the early 1970s. The Raspberries had another hit, I Wanna Be With You, that is well worth a listen.
I first heard this on my little radio in 1972, in a temporary teenage mental health facility. This song literally brought me back to listening to music again, at a time when I hated almost all music
