So, we take Tube Number 1's favorite song, set it to scenes from beach movies, "Where The Boys Are" and the original "Gidget" with Sandra Dee, and this is what emerges.
BTW: We have also created music videos for 2 other Randy & The Rainbows classics, "Why Do Kids Grow Up" and "She's My Angel".
It was November 9, 1965, 5:25 PM. Dan Ingram was on the air at 77 WABC Radio in New York City. Suddenly everything started sounding strange . . . thus began the 1965 Power Blackout that stretched from Ontario, Canada through New Jersey. 25 million people were plunged into darkness for the next 12 hours.
This is our 4th music video for a Randy & The Rainbows song here at Tube Number 1 - and for a very good reason. We love this group!
As with many of our other music videos, this is a montage of images and scenes from classic movies. They don't have to make sense - simply enjoy them for what they are - just a trip or a stumble down Memory Lane :)
"Tonight" by The Love Notes was recorded in February 1957 during the same session that produced the Top-20 hit, "United". The group of four teens (a girl and three guys) exemplify the late-'50s New York Doo Wop sound.
We've combined this hot dance song with some equally hot jitterbug dancing, and if you look closely, you'll spot Jay Leno and Fran Drescher in scenes from American Hot Wax.
The title says it all: This video couples the Brian Wilson produced, "He's A Doll" by The Honeys with an added bonus feature clip of Sally Field and Richard Dreyfuss in a scene from 1965's Gidget TV show.
Double-Cowabunga!
New York group vocal harmony (or Doo Wop) at it's finest - this is The Five Discs' jump classic, "Never Let You Go". And jump, it DOES!
What led us to pair the 1938 Jimmy Stewart film, "You Can't Take It With You" with the Five Discs is a mystery - but Great Googli-Moo, they do belong together!
"Hot Dog Dooly Wah" is a follow-up to our recent "Shombalor" animated Doo Wop music video.
Please take a moment and leave us a comment, so we can gauge how our videos are being received. Thanks! ... (more) (less)
Produced by Paul Simon in December 1962, Tico & The Triumphs' "Cards Of Love" is a New York doo wop masterpiece.
Contrary to urban legend, Paul isn't singing on this one, though he is the lead singer on Tico & The Triumphs' hit, "Motorcycle".
Now, don't just sit there...Get up 'n' DANCE!
