  • having had to watch these episodes with my grandparents on tv didn't do much for me as a kid..looking back now, thanks to utube, I appreciate these clips and am as entertained now as they were back then. Glad to be able to go back to these old footages. Cissy a& Bobby - great dancing!

  • dear lord! she forgot to put on her panties!

  • DWTS sucks compared to Bobby and Cissy.

  • @goldenglove25  The Lawrence Welk Show

  • GERITOL LMAO!

  • As Lawrence would have said, "A wonerful, a wonerful!" God bless Lawrence.

    As I get older he did have something going as in original "Dancing with the Stars " talent!

  • this one they are really playing on - excellent !

  • Another video shows the first time the song was done on Tv with Bobby doing his first dance.

  • Bobby was a mousketeer with Annette Funicello.

  • Kalkutta liegt am Ganges Paris liegt an der Seine Doch dass ich so verliebt bin Das liegt an Madeleine Am schönen Rhein liegt Basel Und Kairo liegt am Nil Doch ich träum' von Madeleine An der liegt mir viel! Die schwarzen Kulleraugen Das ganze Drum und Dran Das schau ich an und sage dann:
  • I'm not sure which vesrion I like better. The original was awesome, especially at the accordion part of the song. But this version owns in the beginning part.

    Such a conondrum. (sigh)

  • Whenever Mary Lou Metzger lipsynchs she puts on this over-the-top superficial smile that, aside from looking like it's gonna break her face, makes it totally impossible to actually sing. She was always such an airhead.

  • One thing you can say about Lawrence Welk is most of the women on that show were pretty attractive.

  • @kerbio24 they all got a facial from Mr. Welk too.

  • Make every day count, do what you really want to do. Every day, every day, Geritol!

  • My parents watched and loved the show and his music. I think my Dad

    watched so he could see Sissy King

    in her Pantyhose.

  • this is nice.... plenty of talent, but nothing compares to the version - 10 years earlier of

    Bob Burgess & Barbara Boyland....dancing to Calcutta....

    check it out

  • I agree, and they changed the dance routine considerably from the original, though I guess, since Bobby and Barbara had come up with the original, they wanted to try to "Cissy-ize" it, so that Cissy wasn't just aping Barbara's original steps. Its also weird that they went to the trouble to have Norma, Gail and MaryLou here, but then only had one chorus of "La-la's" at the end. Brings back fun memories, though, of Saturday night at my grandparents' house!

  • Nice pantaloons on Cissy!

  • Wonder if Lawrence had Geritol's "iron-poor blood"? Perhaps he had "the heartbreak of psoriasis" and "nagging backache," too... (I've been watching television too long...)

  • Do you think that Geritol is their sponsor?

  • @BUNGLEJYME It was their sponsor for a time.

    Of course, their signature sponsor was Dodge--remember Dodge Dart?

  • I believe the Geritol sign came down when the show left ABC and went into first-run syndication in the fall of '71 (since the sponsors for syndicated shows differ according to local area). I don't remember being there throughout most of the '70s.

  • Cissy was a great replacement for Barbara Boylan , but could never match the graceful style that Barbara posessed.

    Especially on Calcutta!

  • Let's see, two women putting fingers in their mouths making popping noises, and this dancer lifts up more skirt than she could have gotten away with in 1961.

    The 'Geritol' in the background is awful.

  • Back then, variety shows had individual sponsors posted prominently in the background.

  • Sandi and Sally look like they're stoned at the beginning. Not sure what was up with that.

  • @kirkindysolospock Don't be so negative

  • awe...totally awesome..such great memories.....both me and my sister watched them alot on the tv...thank you....

  • Dancing with the Stars has nothing on Cissy and Bobby!

  • I love it. Not so stiff legged as dancing with the stars.

  • It is good to upload videos of these jewels to enjoy, but I will stay with the original 1961

  • I'm glad this vid is back too.I made the comment that as good as Bobby was,Cissy had to do everything he did,but backwards and in high heels! Great,memorable song!

  • awe..thank you mike for this share...those were the good old days..such great memories...thank you...

  • Loved Cissy King but Bobby always annoyed me.

  • great song

  • Bobbie always was a bit light in the loafers

  • you got that right

  • If you can believe it, this music has French words to it, sung by Petula Clark at watch?v=ejjo99agOtQ

  • I love this song. I wish more music was this light-hearted.

  • back in the late 50s to mid to late sixties music was much better than today. It was a great time to be growing up.

  • The "Geritol" logo in the background really sums up this show

  • Great comment.....cracked me up. Thanks...

  • Boy, don't they look great together!

  • Doncha just LOVE the brown and orange and red outfits from that era? The only color missing is avocado.... Loved the video, thx!!

  • Very vunnerful!!!! I am ze glad to see ze Mormons on ze LSD dancing ti ze great song!!! Danke!!

  • Qua?

  • great great great this made my day!!!

    10 stars!!!

  • That guy is still dancing like he was 17!

  • I would like to see Eminem try this!!

  • That version is a little faster than the recorded version. The harpsichord sounds different also.

  • I'm glad that you put this video back on YouTube. The person "funkymusic770" removed the video from YouTube and now, I'm glad that you put it back on YouTube. This is one of my favorite videos.

  • Wunnerful Wunnerful!!
