He was trying to sing With A Little Help From My Friends. Nobody knows what he was really singing, not even Joe Cocker.

Yes, he was on drugs.

Hahah! He's super twitchy in that.

I'm a big fan of the classic rock era, so I have searched videos related to Woodstock before. But this by far is one the most hilarious ones I have seen. And drugs, they made him dance good. xD

I personally think his version of the song was much more interesting than the Beatles' version.

I agree with Ernie15 Coc.kers version is brilliant and has alot of energy. I would say 95% of the people at that festival were on some drug but hey that was a different era. I really like his voice it's very powerful. This was such a brilliant festival and I so wish I could have been there (just missed it.... by about 23 years >.&gt

Ringo wrote the song and sang it the best. Joe Cocker's version was great,but you can't beat the original.

Ringo sang it with no passion. Joe did. Ringo's version was boring. Joe's wasn't. See a correlation?

That's just my opinion,so maybe I like Ringo's boring version. There's something charming about it.

Ringo did sing with passion. It's just a different style.

Honestly, Joe Crocker sounded great, but he sang like crap. Ask Joe, I bet he would agree.

He probably would. I knew there was somebody that agreed with me out there.
