Υπάρχουν στιγμές στη μουσική όπου ένα τραγούδι καταφέρνει να παγιδεύσει την εποχή και ταυτόχρονα να γίνεται διαχρονικό — αυτό ακριβώς συμβαίνει με το “Stuck in the Middle With You”. Η εικόνα του Gerry Rafferty μαζί με τους Stealers Wheel στο Top of the Pops το 1973 είναι σαν μικρό κινηματογραφικό στιγμιότυπο μιας δεκαετίας: χαλαρή, λίγο ειρωνική, μελωδική και γεμάτη από εκείνη τη νοσταλγική αίσθηση των πρώτων ραδιοφωνικών επιτυχιών.
Οι Stealers Wheel σχηματίστηκαν από τον Gerry Rafferty και τον Joe Egan στο Paisley της Σκοτίας στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 1970. Η μπάντα, με το χαρακτηριστικό της μείγμα folk-rock και soft rock, κυκλοφόρησε το ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο άλμπουμ τους που περιλαμβάνει το “Stuck in the Middle With You”, ένα κομμάτι γραμμένο από τους Rafferty και Egan. Το τραγούδι, με τη σαρκαστική του ερμηνεία και το εύληπτο ρεφρέν, απέσπασε διεθνή προσοχή και παραμένει το πιο αναγνωρίσιμο από το ρεπερτόριό τους.
Η ιστορία της μπάντας δεν ήταν πάντα ρόδινη — εσωτερικές διαφωνίες και αλλαγές σχηματισμού σήμαναν τη σύντομη, αλλά σημαντική, πορεία τους στα ροκ σαλόνια της εποχής. Ο Gerry Rafferty, ωστόσο, συνέχισε με μεγάλη επιτυχία ως σόλο καλλιτέχνης, γράφοντας μερικά από τα πιο εμβληματικά κομμάτια της δεκαετίας του ’70, όπως το “Baker Street”. Η μουσική του Rafferty και των Stealers Wheel διατήρησε ζωντανή την ικανότητα να συνδυάζει στιχουργική ευαισθησία με μελωδικές γραμμές που κολλάνε στο μυαλό.
Σήμερα, όταν βλέπουμε εκείνη την τηλεοπτική εκτέλεση του 1973, νιώθουμε μια γλυκιά μελαγχολία· είναι η ανάμνηση μιας εποχής όπου τα τραγούδια ταξίδευαν από ραδιόφωνα και σκηνές σε κόσμους πολύ πιο απλούς από τους σημερινούς. Το “Stuck in the Middle With You” δεν είναι απλώς ένα χιτ της εποχής του — είναι ένα μουσικό στιγμιότυπο που συνεχίζει να μιλάει στις επόμενες γενιές, τόσο μέσα από το πρωτότυπο όσο και μέσα από τις πολλές στιγμές που το τραγούδι επανεμφανίστηκε στη δημοφιλή κουλτούρα.

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
"Please, please"
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see, it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
"Please, please"

The perfect song for a Tampon ad.
Love it
The loviest year in American music. Very Gentle and Very Funky at the same time. This was before the death of Bruce Lee…. the Knicks won the Championship.
69 years old and have always loved this song. I'm embarrassed to say that up until a few years ago, I thought Gerry sang, "I don't know why I carried a knife" Oops 😆
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes please please please please please please please please
This song was my friend's favourite song. RIP Neville Seagal.
This song will be forever iconic because of the movie River Dogs. Messed up movie!!
Travolta or chainsaw
Great upload!! Thank you!! ❤
Gerry Rafferty was in the Humblebums with Billy Connelly.
Is Joe Egan the little gnome-looking guy? I used to think he was the one who sang lead based on their video.
Every pub in London plays this banger! Oxford St W1 mad days! UK 💐🍀🗽
Yes Central London, wild ass raving days back 90s. Brilliant days, met a lot of good people. Hope this war don't turn into WW3. UK 🇬🇧🌌💐🗽
Gerry was AWESOME!😊❤

Celebrities ag hulle self belangriker as 'Jesus Christus' wat aan die 'Kruis gesterf het vir álmal se sondes', sónder énige skaamte.
'Celebrities of Planet Action' pisses me off. 🤮 Slégs idiote aanbid celebrities.
Daar word méér aandag gegee aan gemors, as Jesus Christus.
Ek word só fokkin 😡 kwaad vir die klomp korrupte blinde poese. Maar as dit by geld kom is dieselfde fokkin korrupte poese 👉 heldersiende en nié fokkin blind soos hulle voorgee nie.

✨️Gerry Rafferty-April 16th 1947-Jan 4th 2011, RIP Sir✨️
This song perfectly sums up our current international political situation in this world today! 😖
… Like a rollin stone ?
What?I always thought this was Bob….Im in shock 😂
It is not a good or bad song
Played the 45 till it was nearly worn to the flip side.
❤❤❤❤🎯🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Let's get some Jerry first, a bit of Baker Street after this, and I can see that pair of eyes in a yellow rectangle, watching me already. I'm on my way darling.
I miss the '70s! 😊
In the official music video for this song, it's NOT Gerry Rafferty mouthing the words pretending to be lead singer. It's the curly-haired, younger looking, smiley guy at 2:11.
Was Gerry Rafferty in the "Stuck in the Middle with You" video with the clown, and the other guy was singing (lip syncing to Gerry)?
Nadie dice nada del señor rubio? Reservoir Dogs?
Alcohol took him away way too soon. RIP.
DIDNT KNOW GERRY RAFFERTY WAS IN STEALERS WHEEL🤔 ONLY KNOWN HIM FOR BAKER STREET IN 1977
I was only 3 years old when Stuck in the Middle with You came out. (From Atlantic Canada) For me, it's a song that makes me feel so good when I listen to it.

Everybody is smiling and happy except Gerry. He's the only one who understands what the song is saying.
My DOB IS MAY 1973 😊
Poor Gerry. Died so young 😥
