Jay and the Americans - Come A Little Bit Closer

[SatchmoSings]

Another thing about this record is how well it's recorded; it's not done on a board with one track laid down at a time; it's done on a real stage, recorded in a real space with all the musicians playing together.

[motelcalifornia]

WTF???



[jeromedoc4u]

The video tells it all and is very cute. Jay Black rocks n rules. Jay & the Americans are never forgotten. Jay Black your voice is one of the best ever. In fact all your songs were and are still listened to and off the richter scale. Thanks Jay. Jerry Plotnick, Bx, N.Y. 1950;s-1966

[TheWorldAwakeningTV]

really cute... and hilarious!! 

[yeahmedude]

Love it! Especially love the dress

[klink708]

It kills me when Jose comes in!!!! HAHAHA The hole video is really good....

[9162vb48]

Next time you make a video, Cecil B., eliminate everything except the dish. Kabish?

[c23charles]

So much better than Friday. Cute girl, cute dress, good song = win!

[guyglowmore1]

i'm in love with jose

[waynelfuller49]

Excellent ...!

[lauriemama]

You kids did a nice job. Very cute!

[Xadanar]

fucking sick

[irishimp2]

Love It!

[Reggie1010101]

What an absolutely halarious video! Made my day.

Thanks

[sergeant2412]

i still like the vid! fun to watch and listen to. tks again for your effort

[TheJanka51]

A great song , but a bad video.

[trianglenaj1s]

cute

[spazmid]

Well... how can I get back those five minutes I just wasted... it sucked.

[alans5king]

i want this sexy chick to sit on my face !!!sincerely,alan

[TheJellyfishlion]

Took me forever to find the song!!!! LOL cute video

[mannymanano]

RIDICULOUS!, THE VIDEO DOES NOTHING FOR THE SONG.

[rockfan363]

LOL the beggining hilarious. Good job!

[96rorrim]

Ingeniously hilarious. The doughnut, the binoculars, the macarena, etc. Lots of clever zaniness.

[melondog7]

that fuckin' sucked...how have so many people seen this? The narrator is obviously gay, and then jose is a horse...can someone alert jay black?

[sergeant2412]

@melondog7 Jose at the end is a duck! I enjoyed the vid and its fun cleverness

[chivasmonarcas1966]

@714OMAR there 's white mexicans....when they are here then you confusse!!!

[RasMajnouni]

Your video is great,I really liked it,but it could have used a bit more lighting

[sergeant2412]

nice job! quite entertaining

[TAQUEROCHIDO66]

ok...i am mexican and my name is jose....so?

[fjmartz16]

The acting was empty--overly done at times and the woman wasn't seductive enough. If you listen to the lyrics, you envision a woman who is not that loose--mischievous, yes, but well poised at it. I know it's an avant-garde type of video, but this is a classic song. Give it some justice; maybe a little mambo dancing or a salsa.

[Banderuola66]

This vid brought a big smile on my face :)) Great song and good acting.

But the guy in the red shirt must eat more ! He is soooo slim !!!!!! :)))

I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for posting. All Thumbs Up !!!

[Subwayguy98]

Great song-silly video! I got a kick out of it!

[munkyboywndr]

Do you guys think Barb Cathey had anything to do with this video?

[newt1972]

ON real Mexican?

[analyzingfunny]

major disappointment. I was expecting at least ON real Mexican.

[speedsville]

Very cute, very enjoyable the light could have been a little, well a lot, better but; kudos to you.

[coastie378]

Great Video, still laughing. That was well thought out and done. LOve It!!!

[raiedalghamdi]

haha not bad not bad at all boys.lol i mean keep up the gd shit huh :)

[bluejay4480]

great humor...isn't it....??? good job... wish i had thunk of it (laugh)...

[MrMotownmanny]

Before you act out the song, maybe you should listen to the song again. Or maybe take another hiatus. Great song : ) .

[edisonmonstera]

Was Jose harmed in the making of this?

[jorgemaruva]

If that girl gave me those looks, I'd give her the dirty sanchez...

[1994g0]

Stupid video-silly and ridiculous.Unworthy of this great song

that

tells the timeless tale of the scheming girl who uses the lout to get her boyfriend jealous.Later , as she and her man copulate, they laugh about the dolt who ran from the boyfriend.Happenned to Ichabod Crane-happenned to a Faulkner character in "The Long Hot summer."

Later in life, the loser gets rich and doesn`t have to deal with anything like this again.But on this night-he feels shame at his cowardice.

[mirandaadria]

You know, not to be a downer... but this is a bit of a cheesy video for such a cute and classy song. Honestly, the moment I saw her stick out her tongue... I was done.

[moodybluesno1]

i love that short cut of song santo @ johnny sleep walk 1959

[jorgemaruva]

This is badass... I watched it once a couple days ago, so I woke up singing this today and used it as my status on facebook... But I added a funny twist to it... The girl looks exactly like a girl I know named Lisa...

[esd2000]

What a cute and fun video. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[cubyegot2go]

Poor quality video.  Feeble attempts at humor.

[Hopkins1148]

Well done.

[Hopkins1148]

Well done.

[BONDORULZ4]

funny vid lol whats the name of the song that plays during the credits

[MelloKings]

@BONDORULZ4 Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny 1959 ... Checkout live perfomance on youtube..

[pagliaccinodlemantra]

That girl is really pretty

[pj21mm392]

Great job! Very well done.

[jeigh3]

*Really* silly -- but in a very charming way.

[yellowrose011]

good job

[presidentbren]

I imagined the girl in this song would look like Gloria from Modern Family.

[RM4FS]

In the 60's in High School we said is she wicked Felina from Marty Robbins El Paso

[kaptik]

haha looks that make my mouth water. haha nice

[manluvsthe60s]

very cute little homemade video!!! Good job!!!

[coastie378]

That was a fun Video. Great Job. : )

[RizetoPower]

ur very creative

[bohuntr]

Love it, keep them coming!

[Sodnal]

I'm still trying to figure out why a duck? Why not a chicken??

[QueenBoadicea]

@Sodnal No, that's "Why a duck? Why not a goose?" XP

[Sodnal]

@QueenBoadicea Love the Marx Brothers!

[ROGER459]

Hey Great Job....!

But wasn't that the MEXICAN Aflak Duck....?

[Aphidboy]

Good fun, and I did laugh out loud a couple of times. sure wish I could have seen Jose better though. Was he a rooster? One more run-through with a light meter might have made this thing much easier to watch. Anyway, good effort kids.

[brokenscimitar]

I stopped watching at 00:27 and felt cheated of nearly half a minute of my life. How could you possibly couple such a beautiful, enduring song to such an absolute poxy, shit video? I bombed this stupid video with one star and hope that no one ever watches it again.

[Lester2955]

Enjoy the video......fun to watch and was probably fun to make.

[sergeant2412]

Good fun!! tks.

[tomboyfimls28]

This video is some funny shit. I grew up with this song always playing in my house. BUT WHY is she twirling a donut on her finger. Maybe I'll try that to see if it turns my husband on . . . .. I have a feeing it won't! Funny stuff guys. If I ever get a goose I'm damn sure naming him JOSE!

[AmericanDragonfan]

when i was younger my parents would play this while we drove to diff places, and to this day i have the cassette tape in my room of these guys w/ this song and only in america, but this song is the one i remember most.

[katesanteria1]

THIS VIDEO RULES!!!

[AndrewWCo]

At 0:45 She's NOT WEARING A WATCH! Hilarious shit! And how drunk is this chick?She's about to leave the bar with a Goose decoy.Maybe it takes batteries and it is a big pecker.

Love the song AND the vid.

[jekiwe]

cute video......perfect backdrop for this song....chick is perfect too.....nice job folks!

[stetzpilot]

so agree with 5timesacharm Woman lack class these days!!

[5timesacharm]

Somehow a girl sticking her tongue out to a man like she wants to lick his his ass doesn't make "her looks so inviting".

[jpordan]

your soooo ugly

[idahovandal]

twirling a donut on her finger - subtle.

[bignasty1980]

What happened to MARTY ROBBINS getting credit?

[leahcim1958]

great song, great video!

[pyrowolfsbane]

I'd pick the duck too LOL

I love this fucking song. Brings back memories of driving to my uncles house with my dad. Summer's on the farm.

[iceninebx]

WOW..you guys are funny ...keep it up

[samajamweasly]

aaw i love this song!

[ryannerocks124]

my brother used to sing this song when he was 4 yrs old :) we quickly got attached to the song, the song brings joy to us all, it's very happy music :)

[bkracer82]

I live in Detroit, met a girl across the boarder in Windsor, Ontario but she wasn't Mexican she was Canadian, this song reminds me of her.

[boatmoter]

great song,let me guess thou,these two thrive on karaoke night at the local pub..

[superz1]

JAJAJJA

[ajgolfer1]

cute

[schlieper79]

its all about the time period and music not the video retards

[maccasongarethebest]

what a stupid video really, but the girls saves the day with her beauty.

[Didueva]

Hmm yes, great song and voice :)

Sure music from the Ritchie Valance film was tagged onto the end?

Well done.

[bmkfa0369]

typed in, man loses out to a duck! love it thanks for cheering me up.

[sexmoron]

Aflac again. Damn!

[sheridansloan]

hot teen mmm

[teenonator]

Far out. Where's the lip synch contest?

[NoMoSpam]

WTF!?!?!?!?

This isn't Jay and the Americans. This is just a couple of little twirps who infringe on other artists.

RIPPPP OFFFFFF!

[NoMoSpam]

Well! Waddyaknow!

7 months later, and our paths cross again.

And I can still claim with all authority that THIS is still the most stupidist video EVER on youtube.

[hamish1314]

Well,it was`nt jose who arrived,another american he was big and bad,we hightailed it out of there,got all the way to reno,we`ve been married for ten years, x

[hamish1314]

[debbie299]

[hamish1314]

[debbie299]

@hamish1314 ...you still remember!!! You're the BEST!!! YES!!! still together!! <3

[jetsss1284]

Fantastic....very well done...and the girl is smokin hot....

[TJSh0w]

I think it was great, even with the lack of a mexican person. I mean, the band is 'The Americans' anyway. But seriously, I was skeptical at first but I decided to watch it for 10 more seconds, and then I ended up finishing the video. The Macarena was great.

[rulegm]

Not quite the video I envisioned, although you guys were quite close. I think the lack of a real mexican is what messed up the video. I know its an attempt at humor, but damn! C'mon dudes, its Jota y Los Americanos!!!!

[Ralfrobot]

Ok you ,people*, are surrealists, right? Iam glad iam not the only person in the world with strange humour, I think its brilliant, very classy humour not easy to find these days. are you going to make videos for a living or what? I think you got something but i dont know what, anyway, i thought it was good, not delusional atall, RR

[MrKronberg]

whats the song in the end creditS?

[Archie47u]

sleepwalk

[TJSh0w]

Sleepwalk By Johnny & Santo

[captainlock]

The aflac duck with sombrero and the bigote was funny...and the girl was cute...and the chicken dance killed me...muy bueno

[rln1994]

That was good, loved the ending nice job.

[sophia9084]

I love the guitar player! He's funny as it is unexpected that it would be a emo-ish teenager playing at the joint.

[airfooled]

haha

that rocks!

nice effort!

nice shiela too!

[urbanranger101]

WOW this is fucking gay prolly one of the greatest songs every but the vid just is fucking stupid

[kamiro201]

great vid

very hilarious.

[Jigaboo123456]

hee1he1he1

[inev09]

[Udoboy]

That's one lucky duck.

[goldsmithstudent]

[coolcat791]

love it!

[jessegrock]

[Dead4aDucat]

I really like this one, but the duck's performance was seriously sub-par.

Props to anonymous long haired ponchoed keyboardist.

[sharonkayb]

Daffy is doing porno now!

[HS22181]

Outstanding!
