[elsomnoliento]

[shinyboots7]

imagine a man having sex with a girl, while he screws to the beat and sings the song too. Seriously ,, think about it..../:)

[mistabook]

There need to be more dopey rhyme-based novelty songs sung by bored-sounding black chicks.

[jefit]

@mistabook There most certainly is a dearth, resultng in reduced mirth.

[redrum427]

white people...

[msBee98]

banana fana fo fanna :D lol i had this stuck in my head for a while haha

[toylingw]

How about Chuck?????

[cassandrabadie]

DOESNT SHE LOOK LIKE A BLACK JUDGE ON TV?? THE MARRIAGE ONE?

[universityofwtmp]

@cassandrabadie To me she looks like a singer on a dance show on t.v. through youtube. But that's just me.

[redfordforpresident]

I like the contrary part, like Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

[mrgarypotter1]

MMMMMmmmmmmm !!!!!!

[flannelj1605]

I like how people think Little Ceasar's wrote this jingle.

[AJ2240]

Hitch!!

Hitch Hitch bo Biii.. Oh -_-

[DrLaura3535]

We sure had fun with one, this back in the day...

[DominickFontana]

This is a great song that came out when I was in grammar school. Most of the names have been mentioned below, but another funny one was Rich.

[LeeLeeDance3]

I love this its hilarious!! :D

[Salinear]

[CDNKushOnly]

[yankeegirl2013]

[LexieSimmons1]

@ roxane909 I Have A Right To , Disrespectful Old Hag ....

[copnite12342]

great beat. but the song is rather irritating. and i love oldies, just pray rebecca black does not do a cover on this song lolollol jkjk

[SuperTomcat622]

Chuck, Tucker and Mitch see each other regularly at group therapy sessions. :-)

[Savadorason1]

@SuperTomcat622 - Don't leave out SVBerk65, that's another wackjob who ppl in 2011 r really bored with.

[KT1419]

This won't work for Mitch or Chuck.

[knowledgeiswhatsup]

Damn. I guess you could come out with anything back in the 60's! They seem to of had a lot of fun then, for such a dangerous, revolutionary decade.

[Savadorason1]

@knowledgeiswhatsup - U can come out w/ anything now, just put some good beats 2 it. It's all about havin" a good time whether times r good or bad.

[CyclopsDragon]

This song is eternally stuck in my head.

[nyluddite]

This song should be dedicated to President Obama - with a 'b' added to the title.

[mariafem]

Damn !! in the 60's they knew how to start a PARTYY ... Fun songs and weird people ! Cool 

[AnimeLovingFamily]

Hey I have an idea, Lets start with Mitch Mitch, Mitch bo B*tch : D

[rubymcfadden]

Ha ha ha! Look how the WHITES dance ha ha ha! Now they have copy how to dance from BLACKS and HISPANICS!!!!

[superesonator]

@rubymcfadden

yes but in the case, they dance better than Shirly Bo birly!

[annoyingu4fun]

Unfortunately this is the type of song that once it is in your head will drive you crazy. It popped into my head the other day and I was rhyming everyone's name. the youngsters thought I was crazy.. so I cam here to show them...

[syrydiuk62]

LOLZZ typical 60's dance moves 0:53

[childene]

I remember seeing saw her on TV performing for soldiers (in Vietnam maybe?) when this song was a hit and she asked different soldiers their names. One of the of the men said, "Chuck" and she responded with "Charles, Charles, bo Barles" and ended with "Sorry 'bout that Chuck!" The days before Kennedy was assassinated were so different and even into the mid-sixties, but the whole world changed.  I love the Internet and youtube, but I long for those days before globalization.

[syrydiuk62]

i wanna see 60's people jerkin'.....

[codmythbustersteam]

I find myself randomly singing this to myself sometimes....

[ChicagoCubs1060]

atleast back then there weren't any stupid niggers rapping about murder, guns, drugs and hoes.

[orangedude8]

what if it has 3 or syllables 

[LexieSimmons1]

What's your name?

TUCKER!

[6firebird6]

[zodiolestes]

Whatever happened to Shirley Ellis? I never seen her on the Goldies Circuit!

[insert8name5here]

it's hard to do a three syllable name

[30DaysRain]

jeez look at the size of her hands. I'd hate to get a smack in the ear from those hands.

[Juliaflo]

A song like this is good for mental coordination. You understand?

[SuprntrlWytch13]

[hateondeez]

[AmandoRambo]

[robnrick1]

@LoudMouthBesties ROTFL!!!!! We did that and my Mother had a fit!!! This song was banned from our house after that!!!!! LOL!!! CLASSIC! :)

[aldain1982]

@LoudMouthBesties good thing letter "C" and "S" are not included in the name game... that would be awkward.

[soundwavs1961c]

I'm sorry for todays generation. I'm glad I was raised in the 70s. The 60s were fun years as you can see here! Even the music was better than Agorilla and Googoo Gaga Lady whatever their names are SKATA

[FlyingAero]

My names tucker

[unfortunatebeam]

haha it's a fun song...but wouldn't it just be a little bit embarrassing doing this like over a number of nights lol she must have felt like an idiot sometimes ;:P

[FargoMarc]

The middle back up dancer with the long pony tail- what a little cutie.

[starladear002]

@FargoMarc She's an old woman now ;)

[Ilovejoeyd95]

my g ma loves his song

[TheAtomic1234321]

Stephen Kings Rose madder brought me here.

Oh Norman you're such a character. Singing this song with death in your mind.

If you read the book you understand

[K4N4nen]

@TheAtomic1234321 Me too, but I never thought it would sound like this! Makes it even funnier when you've heard this song...

[copnite12342]

@TheAtomic1234321 i love that book it was fukin awesome. especially when the writer said,"when norman finally learned what it was like to be the bitten instead of the biter...."

i want to talk to you up close. brilliance.

[elk832]

Today's videogames have better graphics than real life back then.

[FiberMania]

Fantastic!

[sickdrummin44]

doesnt.get.more.epic.than.this­.

[MrFalconford]

Phonics in a song, well now there was a idea?

[rthompson39]

Wow, it sure is lucky there are no names with more than 2 syllables.

[HiTide23]

Love the song, back in those days people knew how to dance now all they do is freak on each other...when is that gonna end?

[xxmirchinxx]

LINKIN !!!!!! ANNUNAKI

[rocksmeller99]

almost like the Three Stooges when they do the alphabet at the college

[etbella3]

@rocksmeller99 I am so not alone.

[rocksmeller99]

@etbella3

the lady really knows how to think on her feet. around our house we play The Blame Game in order to pin so bad deed on somebody besides yourself!

[SVBerk65]

boy people in 1965 really must have been bored

[XxtatgalnextdoorxX]

@SVBerk65 They had nothing else to do other than sing about names. worst than singing constantly about being heart broken

[bleed0black]

@SVBerk65 as though american idol makes our generation any better.

[mastertung7]

@SVBerk65 there is nothing new under the sun my friend everthing has been repeated in and thru every era and every generation....speaking of the word boredom..with all the gadgets etc. and evrthing we have today you thinnk ppl. would have no excuse to use that word now,.but they do more than ever,...its totally crazyso to assume they were bored then is total clueless.whats funny is the participants that cannot dance,.lol

[creelump]

@SVBerk65

yeah, bored getting the shit kicked out of them at race riots.

[Savadorason1]

@SVBerk65 - in the future they'll say ppl in 2011 must've been retards 2 like the shit they did, the old shit th@ was new back then, is some of the best shit there was th@ why more than 1/2 the new shit out there now is in some way a rip- off of some of the older jams from years ago, punk.

[HeartBDoctor]

@SVBerk65 In short, the world changed a LOT after Kennedy was shot, then once the computer moved in back in 1984, the world got in an even BIGGER hurry. Life was much simpler in 1965. Oh, but not now.

[Glansfrenulum]

@SVBerk65 Actually they were having more fun than anyone these days can even imagine. Innocent ridiculous fun. Watching this makes me feel silly. You should play sometime.

[hayz652]

 hahahahah

[CainmosniMirrored]

@SVBerk65 No internet!

[hannahruthiee]

@SVBerk65 that's what people will say about our generation when they look at videos like Teach Me How To Dougie, Soulja Boy, etc.

[EdelSeriman]

@SVBerk65 There were four TV channels and no internet. Of course they were bored.

[Savadorason1]

@SVBerk65 - then in another 45 yrs. ppl will look @ us 2day & say that ppl in 2011 must have been really bored, it's evolutionary.

[etbella3]

We had a very intellectual youtube seminar/discusion once about whether Shirley Ellis is a robot. Check her out, not exactly Diana Ross of the Supremes in her movements. Everything I ever needed to know I learned on youtube.

[jefftam1234]

Would it work for Barack?

[superbruce]

@UVMarv ..No it wont because that contradicts his socialist adgenda...and besides, Nancy " Polooser" wouldn't be able to join in on the fun because her face is lift is so tight and her botox wouldn't allow for her fat lips to wrtap themselves around all of the toungue- twisting...

[sporran564]

@superbruce what an idiot comment.

[superbruce]

@sporran564 ..maybe not a very nice comment, you are correct...but many a truth is said in jest .....

[fortisKID]

OMG she is one of the ugliest women I have ever seen. Brb I gotta wash my eyes out.

[Mahogany1974]

@fortisKID no she's not!

[crazyclimber80]

This song always makes me think of the old Little Caeser's ad where they used this, and Caeser and his friends were playing instruments and singing. Towards the end Caeser opened his mouth up and his uvula sang too. Damn silly.

If you can remember all the words this song is a blast to do for karaoke.

[Sixtiesfreak]

I was in a supermarket a few years ago and this was playing and all the check out people were trying to sing along. It was cool.

[1olrocker]

Cool song - I have a jukebox my grandfather bought about 30 years ago. It's a 1967 Rowe, and one of the records that was on it was this one. Over the years I've changed many of the records but this one stayed. This is the first time I've ever seen her - she is cut! Tight biceps!

Anyone remember when Tiny Toons did this song on a musical episode?!

[copnite12342]
