Tommy James & Shondells - Hanky Panky (1966)_HQ

[sleepsurfsex]

concerteza, eram todos muito simples e carismaticos, transparentes, hoje o mundo é coberto por farças e superficialismo, uma pena realmente.

[Cassianomac]

Nos meus tempos de garoto essa música fez minha cabeça. Muito legal recordar, tempos que a guitarra tinha tanta expressão e poucos recursos.

OMG...it's the best I've ever seen Tommy...what the hell happened later

[rosebuddy47]

great song but they don't appear to be enjoying their job--look too serious to me!!!!!

[ronbo11]

Is that Tommy Coverdale playing the lead on that Fender Jaguar (I think)? I wonder if that sound later influenced one of my all-time favorite guitarists, Tom Verlaine of the group Television? Check out Tommy V playing his Fender on a song called "Prove It": watch?v=Hy6-RMbl9GE. The Shondells had some righteous guitar rigs in this video - love the Rickenbacker as well!

@ronbo11

You mean Larry Cloverdale. It certainly is, TJ paid his pal "with whom he first started Ther Shondells" on the sleeve notes of the live albumn at the Bitter End.

This was one of my TOP songs in the 60's. I was raised by my grandmother and I drove her nuts with my 45!

[RocknLester2011]

The Nirvana song was In Bloom, I think thats where Kurt got the idea from here!

[RocknLester2011]

Look at the guitar player in the back playing the Rickenbacker,his look and glasses and look at the Nirvana song with Cobain with the glasses on and the black and white lookin TV show,see what I see?

Oh manno, ich war 16 als diese geile Musik, reine Gitarrenmusik nur aus dem Verstärker und klares Schlagzeug .... uns auf die Tanzfläche bei Parties und in Diskotheken zog .... da ging die Post ab !!! Erinnerungen ..... ;o))

The songs about a hooker. Its amazing it got any airplay in its time.

[anchovysnolives]

yeaah!!

[RainPoetry]

There's something badass about these vocals and music. Like they're pushing the sexiness to see how they can take it during the time.  Their looks are misleading..

[akaaccount]

As badass as 60's artists were, what with their actual musical talent and all - the lip synching is pretty terrible. I mean, there are drums in this song. They couldn't bring in a drum set and at least pretend?

[cykodee]

looks like they are all drugged! never seen a more listless band! wtf?Great song though! i thing , wait... I KNOW they are lip syncing! no drums? one mike? who says "YEAH"?

[2m6m3sbx]

Good Beat!Remember listtening this when I was about 12.Not understending words.Those Good Old Times!

[ibcalif]

@2m6m3sbx It's Johnny Depp.

The dude in teh background with the moe is up to some shady shit. Truly a fantastic cover, a garage punk standard !

[MissTeenPregnancy]

chicks who don't do the hanky panky are no fun

[TheLudNuts]

This is so badass! This was was before my time, but my dad and uncle said they were the shit when they were around.... I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LORDGOAT1976]

He invented Glam, listen to the lyrics and when he did Crimson and Clover, his image was pretty Glam for that time.

[mankielty]

thank u, being waiting for this

[rocksinger45]

There's a guy from the Mob with a gun waiting to collect performances just off stage :)

[partyspecialists]

nice video thanks for posting

[jekiwe]

and this was the start of much bigger things to come...tommy formed the shondells when he only (12)....but re-shaped them a couple years later around 1965/66 originally recorded this song in (1963)....
