Point of View. Blind Reaction. I thought I'd heard everything until I heard this song from 1962. Jimmy Soul singing about how you can be happier in your life. Not sire it's great advice though. 😬😮 #pov #reactionvideo #comedyvideo #retromusic #1960s

Point of View. Blind Reaction. Here's a song from 1962 with a pretty shocking message. This song by Jimmy Soul called "If You Wanna Be Happy" makes an interesting observation on what a man should look for in a wife. 😲😬🙄 #pov #reactionvideo #comedyvideo #retromusic #1960s
