Love this song and love Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wes, you've done it again!

[Scotseasy]

It's quite tremendous to be able to watch the Bobby Fuller Four again, and ESPECIALLY  performing this wonderful number, "Let Her Dance". "Another Sad and Lonely Night" is a first-class number too. This group could, and maybe should, have become a world-wide phenomenon...

[SteveLLW]

I love the dancing babes!

[mariowii23]

I could listen to this song all nite long

[mslkdo]

I loved Bobby! He was such a nice person. His brother Randy was great, also!

[SlashManEXE]

Amazing performance. "Let Her Dance" was obviously mimed, but I'm not sure about "Another Sad And Lonely Night."

[jgblreaper]

this song rocks socks

i usually listen to heavy metal and hard rock, but this song just makes me want to have a lot of fun

[nymanjohn]

Wish we could hear Come On Julie

[37terraplane]

Terri Garr is the dancer to the left! I mean to the right!!!

[37terraplane]

PRE CBS KRTH FM 101 PRICELESS

[maxisttot]

i can't believe he died at 23...

[brucemcg12]

Probably one of the catchiest tunes of all time. 

[lizardkingsajrs]

anyone know the chords?

[commanderkeen42]

I love their drummer. He looks like he just crawled out of a medieval dungeon!

[mac2552u]

me want cookie!

[LadyGibbzey1994]

Frankie is the man <3 

[joyceyboydave]

Children?! Children?! What do you ask of me? a Christmas wish?

Make our next door neighbour have a black baby!

I could make your toys come to life for an evening?

No, shag this rabbit!

The bloke is a living legend.

[BuckBuckton]

@joyceyboydave I'm sorry, Mrs Rabbit

[azhans263]

I love this song! It belatedly came to prominence (in the UK at least) via a stand-up comedian's show 'Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights'. Incidentally, if anyone has 'Spotify' there is another (later?) version of 'Let Her Dance' by Fuller which sounds punchier and with less reverb. Also interesting (again on Spotify) is a version advertising Gallenkamp Shoes. Then google Fuller's mysterious death.

[SirPadenThe1st]

Not a single dislike :D

[6tonto]

fantastic mr fox!!!

[rl1712]

2 things when I hear this song, Frankie Boyle and Fantastic Mr. Fox

[southtwyfordian]

dated a Glaswegian now living in Surrey and she showed me Scotland and Glasgow, shes now dancing with another but Glasgow is the place i still go to. Too right to be abused again!!

Frankie is the Boss, all hail the Boyle

[Themistermarshmallow]

I remember when i was young, i had a wonderful dream that i was eating a big marshmallow, but when i woke up, i was being sexually abused! :)

Love you Frankie Boyle! :) :)

[SlappingDon]

Frankie Boyle is Best Comedian Around UK !!!

[abeeest]

@SlappingDon best around the world farther fucker!

[JakkoWilko]

I'm sorry that you had to find out from me about your love of cum.

Tramadol Nights :')

[apcityfan]

heavy fatherfuckers :)

[GrazaShaw]

Same time next week father-fuckers!!

[antgatsr]

Wes Anderson is un-cussing believable!!!!!!

[JustGotToBe]

Love this cussing song!!!

[harvey1954]

Jeanie, I dare you to moon the camera when the Bobby Fuller Four are on.

Oh yeah, what will you give me if I do?

You do it I will give you $2 plus buy you a Coke.

Deal !  2:18

[explosiv0]

those nice birds dancing at the back are probably dead by now

[anonUK]

@explosiv0

I doubt they're dead, but they are all over 65. Those once-perky appendages hit the floor years ago, even if they didn't.

[dirkbrad]

Makes an old man very happy, quality pop.....but sad to think these lovely girls are now in their 60's....(and Bobby himself was dead within a year of this show...)

[BikerDarren24]

Frankie Say Watch :)

[Calza321]

2:00 epic headbang :DD

[sml200867]

I'm gonna show you heavy father fucker.

[SuperTruth77]

Anyone else think those girls are ten times sexier that the semi-naked sluts you get pole-dancing all over the screen on most TV shows these days?

[dirkbrad]

@SuperTruth77 you truly speak the TRUTH!

[leemarvinuk09]

Tramadol Nights! :D

[unfrequented]

@torngorilla watch the presenter walk off after he introduces the Bobby Fuller Four, weird huh? like hes a puppet on strings

[unfrequented]

@unfrequented also check out the presenter at 0:27 his hand strings get caught up and the puppeteer has to jiggle them about to free them, people who aren't on strings don't make those hand movements!!

[gfm8959]

The 2nd dancer from the left (or third from the right) is the actress Teri Garr!! She was a Shivaree dancer before her acting days.

[j4o4h4n4]

2:18

CHEEKY!

[TheJtf1234]

frankie boyle has gave a new favourite song thank u frankie

[geoffdoor]

wrong wrong - can anyone re open the case of bobby fuller and bring to justice the wankers who murdered him ...

[TheJonahin1]

Frankie Boyle :D:D

[vienna1981]

why was the little girl crying? ... because she had contracted cancer..

Frankie Boyle at his best

[sound6house]

wow, they didn't even need microphones back then

[OrisLover]

Complex harmonies from a really underrated band.

[samrobaston]

FRANKY BOYLE !! LOL

[geoffdoor]

let her dance to our favourite song

[saragarrza]

Haha, I love how there are no mics....

[vienna1981]

till death do you part..... "what, Friday?, aye sure!"

[MelJelloFreak]

back then everyone looked good in general :)

[geoffdoor]

this is superb - upload check out tramadol nights frankie boyle

[explosiv0]

@geoffdoor lol, that's how i ended up here.

[unfrequented]

A little known fact about the presenter Gene Weed is that he is operated from above by strings which becomes apparent at 0:17 when the puppeteer has to walk him off the stage.

[christoJihad2]

It boggles my mind how big this band would have been if Bobby Fuller wasn't murdered. I can't think of an American band that would have been bigger, including The Doors or CCR. He was a brilliant songwriter.

[Leatherfacedcrbjocke]

More music should sound like this-huge reverb, massive drum sound, guitars that just seem to endlessly loop.

[vienna1981]

such a lovely innocent song..

cant believe everyone will now associate this song with frankie boyle and his so called comedy

[humblebum59]

True vienna1981, although maybe it's what Boyle calls irony. Nevertheless, I thank him and his producers for bringing this sone into my world. Never heard of Bobby Fuller, but I have now. No wonder the sixties go on so much about the 60s. Play on!

[Anarchrist01]

@vienna1981 wake up.

[ArchGoodwin]

I don't see any mics. Were they lip-syncing?

[LCCR1993]

Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights :D

[Anarchrist01]

@LCCR1993 Shoot her twice Michael. One in each tit. Send a message...........

Right Kit.

[Peach2ftw]

@Anarchrist01 fail ....its "kid"

[Anarchrist01]

@Peach2ftw Nah man. Its Kit, as in the fucking car.

[Peach2ftw]

@Anarchrist01 LOL u like trolls much ?

[Peach2ftw]

@Anarchrist01 dont worry i wont steal ur shoe making shit tho ! as long as u dont eat 9000 pills and gurn like a northerner XD

[GuitarBobMonterey]

OMG The go-go girl's skirt! Be still my still-teenage heart!

[theneutraldoctor]

Fantastic Mr. Fox has a great cussin' soundtrack.

[jjoel007]

Great song. Music biz was funny back then. Dig the whole presentation-- the girls can't dance to save their lives and the musicians look like they're in their forties.

[songsamsung]

Wow! Thanks for the post friend!

[fritzkr9]

I love this song! Heard it toward the end of the movie "Fantastic Mr. Fox." Thanks for posting it. I'm going to buy this song. :-)

[JHINTON69]

Bobby ruled the sound.. really outstanding. Great lookin' girls doing bitchin' moves!!

We wore this 45 out from constant playing..It was playing when they said he had been murdered.. NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN< BOBBY!! SHINE ON!!

SHAME on the LA PD..

[binnieb20]

my favourite song!!!

[ThePromovideo]

To bboucharde comment: - THANK YOU.. You got it! Right on! This is a great song.

[3wayfighter]

this would make a great ending song

[ashoema0]

@3wayfighter they used it for the ending to The Fantastic Mr. Fox

[christoJihad2]

@stupiddragonkid Are you sure? Because I've seen a clearer version of this clip with the go-go girls and the closest girl that either intentionally or accidentally caught her dress and pulled it up really looks like Teri Garr. Beyond all that though, these "blasts from the past" have an innocence, clarity and beauty at their core, from the great songs, the clothes, the lip syncing and of course, the go-go girls. It was cool growing up then.

[vnboy69]

Was a Junior in High School in '65. In '69 I found myself in Vietnam. If not for the music and the thoughts of the GREAT looking ladies back home in SoCal to come home to, the Nam would have been a bigger bummer. Now in our sixties, including those dancers, we have some rock'n memories...................sur­f's up, see you on the line!! Mike, 62 years and for ever in the '60's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JHINTON69]

One of Bobby's best!! THANKS FOR THE POST! Why does it keep getting removed?? YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!! Bobby Fuller RULES!!

I show my grand kids this when they ask what it like in the 60's.

The girls are fantastic with a normal glow and beauty. THANKS AGAIN!!

[LousFool]

@JHINTON69 Bobby was the best...he is sadly missed, but never ever forgotten.

[ftheGOP]

Why don't men look as masculine and handsome as they did in the 60's? Now they're a bunch of couch dwelling, track suit wearing, paunchy, beer-guzzling slobs. Let us hope that they start to comb their hair, tuck their shirts in, and wear ties again and not look like a bunch of fat ass neanderthals that they've devolved into.

[smokeemonkee]

@ftheGOP Touché!

[harvey1954]

Thanks for posting not only one of my favorite Bobby Fuller tunes, but an all time favorite. Right up there with the Beach Boys and Beatles. Bobby Fuller was the heir to Buddy Holly's legacy and like Buddy died way too young.

[goldstein321]

Thanks, jemcay, I am glad to see that I am not the only man that notice that young women today seem to be less femenine in the way they dress and behave in public than their mothers and grandmothers used to. I though that was just my imagination... but I can see that even younger men today,younger than I, think in the same way. I remember my sister back in 1964... at 17, she always look pretty and femenine before she step out from home to school, party, ect...

[levy1223]

The woman was so female back then. And the music was so danceable. Today it whinny chick music. And it sucks.

[eshewerethin]

yes to all the comments-people were a bit more stylish and the band exudes optimism

[Jamesscalise]

Where's his microphone...?

[Javi2K]

Superb song!

And.... 2:18 look at the go-go girl. Niiiice butt xD

[Khudhayyer]

@Javi2K

well maybe its nice in 1965 but i'm sure you won't want to look at her today

[Javi2K]

@Khudhayyer

Well.... definitely not.

LOL

[christoJihad2]

@Javi2K Believe it or not, that butt belongs to Terri Garr, of "Young Frankenstein" and "Mr. Mom." These songs were so excellent. Bobby Fuller would have been huge if he wasn't murdered.

[0121zero]

@Javi2K thats your granny...

[Anarchrist01]

@Javi2K that lass let the camera man spit in her mouth at the promise of furthering her career and she became a failed model and then a worn out waitress. She has no teeth and sings about the homecoming in a bed of filth in her substandard retirement home. Aint life fun?

[GazClay97]

@Javi2K  lol xD

[Tommywishbone]

Great video. Thank you very much op. I'll buy you a drink sometime.

[jd51452]

The host is Gene Weed. Too funny.

[MrTomcat1963]

Bobby Fuller - Vastly underrated and talented singer,songwriter and guitarist as well...And let's hear it for the "Shivaree dancers" too!!!!!

[wesrt7]

Heard this song at the end of an amazing movie called Fantastic Mr. Fox. Can't get it out of my head.

[JHINTON69]

Thanks for the post!! Great music and go-go dancers!! This is what kids should see when they want to know things were in the early 60's. This seems to be pulled--enjoy while it's here. West Texas rock and Bobby Fuller--Hell Yea!!

[goldstein321]

bboucharde, I think you headed the nail right on. I often wonder the same, and being a child of the sixties (I was 18 on 1965) one too many times I feel sick on the stomach just see the way many young women present themselves on the public eye these days. What you see on this clip was the way we used to be. The boys dressing like GENTLEMEN and the girls dressing like LADIES. Just a beautyfull thing of the past... that we will never see again. ENJOY

[jemcay]

@goldstein321 The problem with today's fashion choices for women, and what is considered in vogue, is that the entire society is sick -- the whole world is ill, and what you see women wearing today is just a reflection of a world gone wrong. Not that everything was perfect in the '60s, but maybe it was a little more pure, and a lot less media imbibed. I'm in my thirties. Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. I don't even know why.

[bhappyjvc]

i'm in love with this song!! <3

[JimmyDFFD]

BOBBY FULLER FOUR-EVER

[Arl662]

What's the name of this the song as the show close?

[LTF6161]

@Arl662

"Another Sad and Lonely Night" written by Bobby Fuller.

[samborez]

You'all need to check out this other Gene Weed Shivaree Classic from SixtiesPopGold! Super! "Eddie Hodges ,New Orleans"

[samborez]

@samborez

youtube won't let me copy&paste the Eddie Hodges videoURL! Go figure!

(be sure you pick the Shivaree one.:)

[harvey1954]

@samborez Eddie Hodges sometimes posts on the Spectropop website. He has some great photos he's posted there too.

[samborez]

@harvey1954 Thanks! I'll have to check that out!

[samborez]

Gene Weed had the talent to pick real talent,singers OR dancers! :D God blessed us children of the 60's much more than we knew at the time!

[izzy4053]

Wow, I really couldn't believe what i was seeing ,real women not like the schanks you see today looking for a Joe or living a pointless life! What a great surprize!! Great song!! Thanks for putting it out!!! Izzy

[LTF6161]

And btw check out Bobby Rydell on tamborine at 4:39

[LousFool]

July 18, 2010--44 yrs today Bobby is gone. Such a sad and awful time for Bobby's family and his fans. I think about him often. WOW--he was so talented. I just wish someday someone will be arrested for his death. God bless Randy and the rest of his family.

[LTF6161]

@LousFool

I don't see any arrest or even a reopened investigation. So-called rock historians don[t even seem interested in the subject. And ODDLY imo no hollywood movie on Fuller. PLEASE. Hollywood does biopics on every twobit drugy (Sid and Nancy for example) who comes down the pike but NOTHING on a great albeit sad story of Bobby Fuller? The cover up was DEEP and still scares people. Btw I dont b/v in most conspiracy theories. I think Oswald killed JFK on his own for example

[LousFool]

@LTF6161 I really don't understand the whole thing. How ANYONE can say it was an "accident" is just ridiculous!! How do you "accidently" beat yourself up, then pour gas on yourself??!! Such an awful way to lose your life. And his poor Mom...finding him!! I just can't even imagine. Someday, someway, there has to be justice for Bobby.

[bufb]

wow this is a great tune...thanks for posting

[TL250Rider]

Check out the Pre CBS Fender Stratocaster.

The Bobby Fuller Four is off sync "Lip Sync"

Still a great song and a great group.

These Girls Dance alot better than the New Stuff of now.

[TL250Rider]

I like hwo the song starts then the Bobby Fuller Four starts doing there thing.

Hey KRTH FM 101 and KOLA 99.9 This is the music you should play. Not DISCO MUSIC.

The 60's is the best.

[MattHatter]

@TL250Rider YOU SAID IT BROTHER! I can't believe we live in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA of all places and our oldies stations are nothing but absolute CRAP. K-EARTH was headed downhill long ago but it was so sad to see KOLA start doing the same thing. '50s rock is non-existent on the radio now. And their selection of '60s is SO limited! It's pretty much "My Girl" every other song....then Lionel Ritchie!

[bboucharde]

Why do women in the 1960's often look so feminine and pretty, while the hags we now see on TV look like drug addicts, "butches," or methadone patients? Look at those dancers! What happened to feminine fashion in the past twenty years? Maybe it will come back, and gals will stop looking like stunted guys......

[MIKECNW]

@bboucharde Probably never and I'm certainly not bothered by it so get use to it.

[bboucharde]

@MIKECNW "Never" is a long time, buddy. Used to it? No. I don't have to get used to it, since I have pretty Heartland women in my life, thank the Lord. And, we don't watch network TV anymore from the media toilets in NYC and Los Angeles. We don't buy the current music, or watch the current films....And the Hip-Hop crowd would not last long in our town. America is a big place & there are still real men and real women out there, away from the coastal cultural toilets.

[Jamesscalise]

@bboucharde Well, to their defense, methadone patients and drug addicts in general look the same.

[Fitchman]

@bboucharde Wasn't that a major premise of The Stepford Wives? I agree full hearted

[bboucharde]

@Fitchman Stepford Wives= Great film, from several perspectives. The ending was not very credible, but the overall theme was entertaining--though predictable expression of mid-1970's feminism. Best part: The way women looked in the film: Their hair, figures, and apparel---very compelling. There has been a movement in London & NYC fashion houses to make American women look non-white and non-feminine. The results now contaminate prime-time TV from the declining NYC alphabet networks--pitiful.

[jmen4ever]

@bboucharde I think you speak for most guys who were born in the 1950s,as I was. You hit the nail on the head, for a great part of why these videos still put todays stuff to shame, it's not just the music but the gals in them also.

[christoJihad2]

@bboucharde I was born in 1954 and grew up in the 60's, and I couldn't agree with you more. It's kind of like seeing a woman in something skimpy instead of nude, it leaves your mind to interpret, imagine and think what she might look like under those skimpy clothes. Kids growing up now don't know any better and think that people like us are just old farts who don't know what's going on. I beg to differ! From the music, to the women, their clothes and fashion, we grew up in a great era.

[kometgraffone]

@bboucharde sure i get what u mean but what ur saying is very sexist

[LousFool]

My grandson laughs at the way we used to dance. I tell him....he just doesn't know what he missed!! Love the BFF.

[frightfan1]

Brings back fond memories of watching this great show with my Mom. Thanks so much for bringing this excellent clip back,which so eloquently captures those awesome times.

[radicright]

Thanks for bringing this back. My favorite of all time. Shame about bobby.

[LousFool]

Wow---I can remember playing both of these songs over and over again. I was wildly in love with Bobby. Such a great loss to music and to his fans. Rest in peace Bobby. We haven't forgotten you......

[0verdrive177]

love bobby fuller

[AnAngryPossom]

This is just such a great song. I love the Bobby Fuller Four. there just aren't bands like this anymore

[TOKENHIPPIE54]

@AnAngryPossom You got that right. Bobby Fuller is right up there with Brian Wilson . This is my fave video . i love the energy it has. if you notice the end go go girl's skirt literally goes way up and shows her butt.
