  • Yes I was being hassled a lot. I got all types of guys sending me facebook invites. It was unreal. I'm going to be 59 on March 18th and I'm a granny. It was so weird. These guys were flirting with a grandmother as though I was still 14 years old. It was guys of all ages.One guy sent me a invite to his facebook with a profile picture of him holding a drape without a shirt on. It was crazy. Anyhow, it was really cool for my grandchildren to see their granny at 14 years old.

  • This is my favorite song by Tommy Roe and thanks for posting this:) I have a fansite and love Tommy Roe music. Come and interact with Tommy Roe: (98) A Fansite for Tommy Roe Welcomes New and Old Fans

  • I love this song! I call my fiance Sweet Pea. Were playing this song at our wedding in 2 months. I can't wait. :)

  • The atmosphere just seems so happy in the '60s.

  • My mom used to sing this song to me when I was a little girl :)

  • I remember my older sister having his albums, the old 33 1/3 RPM's, when she was gone we'd sneak into her room an play them. what great memories this brought back!! thank you for posting it!

  • She's probably his kid sister. She looks a little bit like him.

  • i sing this song to my lil baby everyday

  • oh dear, i'm missing my sweet pea today, come on sweet pea :)

  • This is the BEST video on youtube!

  • very pretty girl.

  • They couldn't have rehearsed this any better. Her lip-synching is perfect and her expressions are priceless.

  • @MattWhatsGoinOn (Contrast her with the future Stepford Wife behind her. Yeesh!)

  • great video of a young girl who loved her music and her rock stars!

  • Love ......Love....Love it!

  • "You are beautiful" is what he told her. Don't be pervy.

  • Ahhh, this song is incredibly good. xP

  • Yep it is!

    

  • I remember hearing this song quite often on the car radio in the summer of 1966 during my family's weekend trips to my aunt's beach house in Atlantic Beach, NY.

  • I like the part @ 1:45 where the girl looks at

    T-Ro and says "Your going to do WHAT!! to me?"

    Do you think that possibly she could be just an actress

    for this video? It makes me wonder If he ever hooked up

    with her. You have to really respect the man for dating

    soft ones.  He is really cool and let's people see it.

  • @AreYouWetYet You are a sick piece of shit !

  • @AreYouWetYet You're living in a weird-ass universe of your own making, dud.

  • @AreYouWetYet You're a fucking retard!!!

  • cute...

  • The makers of this video just got lucky; "Sweet Pea" was on the beach playing when they rounded up several girls to be in the video. Her sister was also there. Just in the right place at the right time, she said. She said that when he whispered to her he said "you are beautiful". He got that right, She is alive, well, happily married, with grandchildren. Her favorite song to sing to them "Little Red Riding Hood". Will not post her name - she removed her sites for a reason. .

  • My Dad gave me the nickname Sweet Pea. I know it came from this song. My Dad loved me alot. I had the worlds greatest dad to me. One day I will go to heaven. When I do the first person I'd like to see is my Dad. I miss soooooooo much. Dad I will see you when I get to heaven. I hope it's not soon. But if it where to happen today, I'd give you the biggest kiss and hug you ever got in your life. Love you Dad. Leslie

  • I didn't even think of any impropriety or creepy sexuality until you mentioned it and then it took a different image that I had to take the energy to dissolve it from thought. Think things like that to yourself and society's future will brighten up.

  • This song makes me smile as I remember my young days on this earth.....

  • @slim2924 and, where'd ya go after that? LOL

  • @6000cat

    I'm still here, just not as young as I was when this song first came out.....LOL

  • i wish i were in there he has a cute i really really want to be there i cold listen ti him all day KD (

  • @bumpknee(^_^)

  • that's precious! the best part is how she keeps her composure. i love her face when he "whispers sweet things in her ear". it couldn't BE more harmless.

  • From the summer of 1966, when I met a radiant red-haired girl on top of the Empire State Building!

  • outta sight and all right!

  • that lady in back of the girl with the puffy hair looks jealous cause he's dancing with her haha! thumbs up if you agree!

  • i love this song so much!!!

  • I've always loved this song, but never saw this video until today. Thank you so much for posting it!

  • I love this video. Everything about nit is sweet, not "dirty"

  • This is such a sweet song....with the vietnam war going on I bet alot of our boys would think of their girls at home when they heard it....

  • I love Sweet Pea. My Dad gave me the nick name Sweet Pea. How do you like me now?

  • Classic break in this song! This has been sampled a lot.

  • beautiful song beautiful girl

  • To all of you people claiming that this is dirty and perverted.....how about you pay attention to something that actually IS.............does the name Jerry Sandusky ring a bell??? THAT guy is a sick and twisted evil man. So, for all of you who want to peg Tommy Roe as some dirty guy, go FUCK YOURSELVES and get a clue as to what is going on in the world around you NOW......who knows, maybe you are all Joe Paterno supporters. You cant tell me that Joe Pa knew NOTHING!!!! That's BULLSHIT!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @mollymitch1 I NEVER said Tommy Roe was the same........PAY ATTENTION to my comment. I actually DEFENDED Tommy Roe. God damn, people need to pay attention.

  • @romeokid69 I never said you did and if it came across that way I apologise to you. I was making the same point as you that it is a sad world we live in when people read these the wrong way. Gary

  • @mollymitch1 Oh ok. Sorry for my outburst then. I just enjoy the song and the innocence that was. Glad to see someone else does too. Happy Holidays

  • @mollymitch1 Thank you too Gary, great comment :) I feel sorry for the person (probably the other one who replied to my comment) who marked your comment as spam.

  • Comment removed

  • When this song was out, us kids always sang,

    "Oh sweet pea, runnin' down my knee....!"

  • @dahur LOL that's funny!

  • I;m 53 and this takes me back to 1968 when 11 my dad took me away to Bairnsdale for the w/e on his fishing trip. I partied with the occupant of the house the night we arrived and didn't see my dad again all night. But I had a good expeirence...we danced to this on the juke box...

  • Have you ever wanted something that you know you caint have? Not because you caint have it, but because society wont let you. The song is awesome without the video: the video is awesome because Miss Vail ( the young lady) is simply adorable.

  • Little girl has a striking resemblance to a young Natalie Portman (The Professional) . Thumbs up if you agree!

  • @alphalobo

    No she doesn't imo. The girl here is far prettier.

  • That girl has some tasty tongue action going on with him - pretty crazy considering she looks like about 12!

  • This song is just awesome.

  • some people have warped minds. OK so she is is neice and has obviously been bought up on the song as she is singing it all the way through. I would really love to know what he said to make her smile like that and all you perverts get your minds out of the gutter.

  • @mollymitch1 I agree.some people are just plain ignorant to the fact

  • @mollymitch1 ...and everyone else...The girl is not related to Tommy Roe. The woman's story used to be posted on another copy of this video that got removed. If you do a google search 'Vail Spot

    Tommy Roe Sweet Pea', you'll see the comments from the other video post about what happened that day. (Itsmewithroe was her YT name). She and her sister were picked to sit next to him. Simple as that. Sad that she closed her channel...she was probably getting hassled too much :(

  • @bze2nlz4 Gee, you make it sound more controversial than it needs to be. This was the late 60's when things like this were innocent. Nowadays, sad as it is, people would think this is perverted. It isn't and even though you are trying to bring clarity to the story, all you are really doing is making it seem that there is some controversy behind it. Just let it go and enjoy it for what it is. Fun and innocent times, unlike today.

  • @romeokid69 YOU'RE the one making it controversial. I'm simply giving information to people who have an interest in who this girl is. You're the one going off on a swearing tangent about Sandusky in another comment, as if that's relevant to this video. And you have the nerve to tell me I'M making this controversial? "Just let go and enjoy it for what it is." REALLY??!!!

  • @mollymitch1 I bet it was hey wanna go get some ice cream after the show :)

  • @bheceo That'd make any kid smile. merry Christmas to you and everyone

  • @mollymitch1 People like you are what is wrong with this country today. Do us all a favor and just shut the hell up.

  • @newyerz1751 Wow you sure do bite don't you? What's the matter someone take your ice cream?

  • She is obviously related, for Christ's sake, they LOOK alike. And back in this time, this was not considered peverted. All of you who think it is are probably child molesters yourselves. Get a friggin clue.

  • Before the lobotomization of the mainstream, some would even say this was cute.

  • Why should you be scared? He shows some attention to his neice and that's frightening? I couldn't help but smile--but then again I amOld School

  • @pulp7theman "Old School" know what it all about. I am "Old School" too and proud of it, Gary

  • I have a special kitty cat friend named Sweet Pea! She was wild and

    I took care of her until I could find her a forever home! She would sit

    atop a utility box and wait for me every day! We became great friends!

    I could not keep her so we found her a new friend! He had just lost his

    wife and his beloved cat! Her new friends childhood nick name was

    Sweet Pea...so now they are 2 Sweet Peas in a pod! How perfect!

  • 4-1-1 For those of you who think Tommy Roe is a ''pervert''....YOU'RE WRONG, that young lady is his 11 year old niece who he was very fond of!!!!

  • @publicatdamagnificen

    He's not a pervert, but I don't think that was his niece. He was having fun w/ a young fan, nothing wrong w/ that. It's our post-60s oversexualized society that is the problem

  • @LTF6161 A friend of his told me that she was his niece. Anyway, I agree with you 100% about the ''oversexualized society'' that we live in. People see sex in almost every damn thing.

  • @publicatdamagnificen You can thank Freud for that. ..."but then, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar..."

  • wow how cool ,she is so cute .where is she now?

  • I kept thinking there was something very familiar about Tommy's face.....then it hit me.....he looks a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio.

    Love this video & love this song !

  • Jesus's son. Watch it.

  • Lol, her face at 1:42.

  • Great everything. I can't help but smile.

  • What show was this from?

  • @winyguy Where the action is

  • Isn't that Nellie Olson behind the cute girl.

  • the girl is cute

  • This was a cute video of a special moment in the life of a precious young girl. I'm sure she will never forget that day. Tommy did a great job!

  • To the people calling him a child molester, there is an even greater age difference between me and my husband. Now move along.

  • @AZstarwatcher People making that statement are just plain ignorant. Back then it was a Older Male singing to a cute little girl. Kid of like a big brother singing to a little sister. You can not get away with that today with out being called a child molestoer!

  • Love this song used to call the radio station and request it

  • Comment removed

  • Four things had to happen to make this video special. First, this very cute girl is singing along. Second, Tommy Roe notices her. Three, they play off of each other. Four, the cameraman or director picks up on it and follows their lead. Subtle and brilliant and beautiful. I'm a dad with a daughter and this video has always just knocked me out.

  • @LTF6161 I agree, that little girl is adorable, she makes the whole video, and apparently, Tommys day

  • @LTF6161 Agree'd, total magic, cant plan that stuff. Pure art.

  • @LTF6161 Thank you. I think too it was amazing. I had impromptu favor that day.

  • I had to stand in line to get a dance with sweet-pea! Love it. Only song better is Dizzy!

  • @majicray2112 dizzy, oh yeah i remember that one!

  • You will never...ever...hear this precious gem on "Mainsteam Golden Oldies Radio" coz it doesn't "test well", Whatever the F that means!". Sweet Jesus! I HATE those clowns with a purple passion! They're like "Ambulance Chasers" ASA I'm MF-ing concerned!

  • To the person inquiring about the term DnB, it refers to a 20th century genre of Popular Music known as "Drum and Bass". Many recording artists in said Genre sampled directly or, inadvertently, the drums from this track using it as a half-step back bone to the rhythm section, and most oft. accompanied with the "Ahmen Break". See the interwebs, passim.

  • I wonder what he whispered in that little girl's ear. LMAO.

  • @SweetJessicaRenee90 LOL Kind of noticed that grin as well!

  • @13ECHO20 I'm thinking that it woujld have to be pretty good news to grin like that! LOL

  • @SweetJessicaRenee90 One can only imagine.... lol

  • wonderfully innocent video and great little pop tune from the best era in music, IMHO.

  • Great song...

  • My mother played this song to death when I was a young boy....When I had my daughter years later can you guess what I call her???you got it... Sweetpea....I had to play her the song I got her pet name from....Daddy loves you Sweetpea

  • I would never admit to liking this song but I can't deny knowing all the words.

  • If I ever go blind I want a seeing eye manatee! ...that is all.

  • holy leonardo dicaprio!! man,leo looks like tommy.

  • they were at santa monica pier in '67? and nobody told me!!!!!!!!! lol, wow, nice video. some body on this page said this is the first DNB song. does anybody know what that means??

  • @m1kewithaone- I believe it means drum and bass song.  Ron

  • @rwells47 oh ok, thanks!

  • whos the girl

    

  • I loved this! How cute it was, singing to the pretty girl!

  • How is it that a song can bring out such Nasty People..what I saw was a song being sang.and a young girl singing along because she knows all the words..now how can any one see anything wrong with that. It's one's mind that brings out the personalitly you must have. If you are "nasty thinking..please keep it to yourself. Let eveyone else enjoy the Good Clean way that Music use to be be like. Not Rap, not naked in Videos..just enjoy the 60's music. I know I do..

  • my names Tommy and my girlfriends name is roe that's how i got here lol

  • had tommy roes 12 in a row album loved it then as well as now

  • WOW! This was the first DNB song ever?

  • Ok Tommy Roe is from ATL and knowing ppl that grew up with him he is not gay....He is however married.....to a woman! and ummm the comments from some show how ignorant ppl can be.....it's just a fun pop song don't try to think to hard about the lyrics....

  • We see a sweet innocent moment and what happens, the garbage people have to come out to spread their dirt..... That is why this generation is headed downhill like a rocket. Everything and everbody is a suspect with every action. The old saying of "You shall reap what you sow" is so very true. I would turn the clock back to the early 60's if I could, make that late 50's too, Buddy Holly and Elvis should not be forgotten for laying the groundwork for Rock N' Roll.

  • @jajwood You are so right!.. I can't believe how today so many young people find something suspect in songs, people's relationships ect.  When I was growing up, it wasn't like that. I can't believe how much the times have changed.

  • @gabbydeb actually,alot of those cute little 60's song's were'nt really so cute.alot of song's back then had other ''hidden in plain sight'',not so cute subject matter.that's o.k. though,to me it's pretty damn interesting.i do like this song and people r usally going to be so dirty minded when they see this video.i did'nt see anything wrong w/ this video. 

  • @desamator11 You could be right. I guess my point was,  as a rule most of us

    didn't listen to the songs and immediately see something unseemly in the songs.

    I loved Gary Puckett and I still love listening to His and the Union Gap's songs here

    at You Tube. Now Gary's songs dealt with mature themes, but they weren't dirty,

    however today I think that is exactly how younger people would see it. Just my

    humble opinion. :-)

  • @desamator11 You're right it isn't dirty.  How could anyone get the idea this video was dirty.

    Geeze, for those of us who would have watched this originally, we wouldn't have

    thought anything about it. He was singing with this little girl, who knew all the words

    to the song. This performance was probably rehearsed. Boy have the times changed,

    that this can't be watched without people making something out of it.

    It's too bad because people are now afraid to help kids.

  • @UnCircumsizedSmegma : Why, why tell this.  You just have to be an old gossipping B-!!!

  • popeye sang this

  • aww this is me and dads song! he sang it to all the time! he calls me Sweet pea! I love my dad!

  • best song ever!

    

  • His mannerisms in this video remind me of Peter Noone.

  • My dad always called me Sweet Pea. :)

  • @melodia4eva congratulations

  • Tommy Roe scares me sometimes

  • @andyc130992 gotta agree, it sorta creeped me out too, but I still loved this song as a kid!

  • I think that he was using the girl to express the songs meaning, however she is one of the prettiest girls that I have ever seen.

  • Comment removed

  • @bheceo

    It's you.

  • Doesn't he look a little like Joe South? I remember when Dizzy came out in '69. In middle school the girls brought his 45 record everytime we had a party and the teacher let them play it and dance. Those were the days.....

  • Samantha Morton totally rocked out on this: Jesus' Son (1999)

  • @sisterbrothers Just saw that movie. It was sort of funny, it kind of looked like she was having a seizure.

  • @sisterbrothers : one of the best movie scenes ever !

  • @sisterbrothers fuck yeah..that is an awesome scene and Samantha Morton is a babe

  • Later that night the blond girl in the next seat row killed the little girl.

  • @indiodeoro LMAO

  • @indiodeoro OMG That is too funny - and true! She looks like someone from that old movie Children of the Corn lol

  • wow finally found this song, for some reason i have this song and Randy and theRainbow's "Denise" mixed together.

  • its amazing how much interest this old forgotten video has generated, and i'm not sure why. i guess its because this jaded politically correct generation of effete snobs and nabobs of negativity has to find something wrong with everything that is too pure and too genuine. the society that you have created sucks, in my opinion.

  • @oyogoyog Amen, brother ! He was just goofin' w/a little girl...And I think she pretty much "Got it", but was still a bit embarrassed.. Haven't ANY of the rest of you EVER "Hammed it up" w/a kid ? Its FUN, try it you might like it, & better yet, you might get a big grin outta a kid...

  • no he is not a homosexual. All guys trying to look cool then looked like homos

  • @denniseugeneg yes, all the guys loved to look cool and good as well as attractive to women. only after the late 60's and the hippie era was in full bloom that guys and girls looking like street bums and homeless drug addicts. yea i know Austin Power made it look like they all dressed hip like he did but those were the exceptions.

  • Is Tommy a homosexual?

    Discuss.

  • @mrspatrickcampbell Who knows? He is married to a lady named Josette. They have been married for years.

  • @mrspatrickcampbell WTF has that got to do with anything? Read this ID 10 T

  • 4 people got jealous that there not his sweet pee

  • Must be his daughter she looks just like him LOL Look at the face... <3

  • Was that really his daughter?  Very pretty little girl!

  • Oh Sweet Kee...Won"t you dance with me? Won't you be my girl? This brings back memories....my girl was Sweet Kee instead of sweet pea...this was a special time!!
