What?

[likeashot42084]

I can't help myself. I adore this song but everytime I hear it I can't help but think; "What have u got me on the 'pay no mind list'?" "No, no, tommy, i thought u said 'i'm all right, spider'." "i am all right u aren't all right." "i thought u said - i thought-" "ah-dah, ah-duh, u mumbling stuttering little prick." and later on he kills the kid. instant classic. i pray to joe pesci becuz he's one mean little muhfucker...and he can get things done.

Adventures in Babysitting

:)

[ajferriss1]

"All the stars were shining bright and then he kissed me...." Ahh.  What a great song. I love it and all those old songs.

[Farmlandsfallfan]

What's ironic is the singer was 15 when this was recorded and she hadn't been kissed.

[RXRguy]

@Farmlandsfallfan LaLa was born 6/23/47, THKM was released 9/63, but still may have not been kissed, after all it was a different time then. :-)

[rudeman15]

Spector and the wall, even today still can not be touched..

[Davylp]

You know what my least favorite part of this song is? What I abolutely hate?... When it ends. smile

[sixtiesforever1966]

YOUTUBE IS BEGINNING TO SUCK, TRY TO POST A COMMENT AND IT DISAPPEARS.

[rosebuddy47]

great group with little recognition.

Were they all African American girls--I'm confused as some look white in some snippets.

Someone please tell me tx

[kwacou]

@rosebuddy47 All African Americans

[sixtiesforever1966]

@rosebuddy47 Three girls were all of African American Decent but Delores La La Brooks third from the left in first photo Her Mother was full-blooded Native American and Father was of African American Decent. Delores Brooks still sings today at Oldies Reunions, and PBS Concert Shows. She is one great lady... Sir David

[diuga1]

In what year was this beautiful song first released?

[greendolphin100]

@diuga1in the 60,s i guess



[diuga1]

@greendolphin100 I ned to know the specific year, friend...I will ask the person who posted it.

[rudeman15]

@diuga1 1964

[diuga1]

@rudeman15 Thanks.

[Finkanslig]

@diuga1 This hit, charted #6, came out 14 SEP 1963, on Philles 115, b/w Brother Julius.

Writers were Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry, & Phil Spector. :I:

[diuga1]

@Finkanslig Thanks a bunch for giving me the RIGHT answer.

[MEAGAIN6731]

cant help but think of the Goodfellas, when i hear this song

[TheMuthaFuckinMobb]

truly a classic.

[TheMuthaFuckinMobb]

i like how they put this song in Goodfellas

[HSECMAN]

its not a white or black song-its a great classic song. and how can you listen to this and not get a little choked up? its so pure and beautiful

[Freyja1133]

@HSECMAN It's also a great relationship song

[apocatie34]

YOU MOTHERFUCKA YOU

[iluvjoshj1]

Goodfellas!!! copacabana scene

[lakerstekkenn]

I NEVER NEW IT WAS A BLACK SONG 

[MRLONGLIVEMUSIC1]

@lakerstekkenn it was simply Phil Spectre,

[Freyja1133]

@lakerstekkenn did you think that the crystals was a white girl group?

[BlakesLiberator]

Nice sound quality!

I wish to share this one. Thanks for posting.

[SpinKicksusplits86]

Goodfellas.

[MegaFrank69]

+goodfellas



[phil4508]

better singing here than in the live performance...

[Ross98100]

KISS made a cover of this song in Love Gun...

[Prashmee]

feel the romance...it is so good a song and a feeling....

[glorybra]

These three girls were great!!  One of the best girl groups ever! I was a teen then and those were great times to listen to the radio. When every song really WAS 'your' favorite!

[The74elephant]

Oldies Live Forever!

[mrsticks28]

Phil Spector - Great, maybe the greatest of all producers. He wore a button that said "Bring back mono". Cracked everybody up.

[Bestboytoo]

They were the days when the likes of Spector could write songs; fabulous girls could actually hold a tune and sing!

And yes no computers, some instruments in the studio and the voice as instrument.

And yes, I remember Elizabeth Shue busting onto the screen, dancing on the bed miming the song.

It was just great.

[Timlinthomasp]

Come on folks, if you understand the times and the era, these female group singers are wonderful. No computers, no high tech, just pure joy. no fancy over the top solos, some of which totally destroy a song and it becomes about the singer (even if highly skilled) and not the song and group effort. Almost all of these "girl groups" were great to listen to. And it's not about the soundtrack to a movie. They would not choose these recordings and groups for movies if they weren't already great.

[kutterdoug]

@Timlinthomasp good job well said

[SMurray1011]

"Everytime I come here... every time you two! Dont you work?!"

[REDOCTOBER213]

@SMurray1011 lmao!

@SMurray1011 Great film , and a great scene

[Kelby4581]

Great song! I think of Adventures In Babysitting everytime I hear this song, too! LMAO Makes me happy! Love that Elisabeth Shue! Can not wait to see her as a cast member on CSI. Hopefully it will be good.

[Nanadsyl]

@Kelby4581 This song is my kids favorite and I love the movie because its filmed in Chicago my hometown!!!

[PacRimJim]

Another killer Phil Spector production.

[Jeffieboi]

Thumbs up if you know this song from "Adventures In Babysitting"

From 1:47 to 2:03 = Genius.

[mauriceshoup]

Yes some black can sound normal lol

[AppleTarts102]

@mauriceshoup normal? not sure if I'm okay with what you said? 

[DeltaAce06]

@mauriceshoup wow "some Black" can sound normal? Honey half of the music that you like more than likely was inspired or introduced by Black ppl. No matter the genre. Thanks.

[lakerstekkenn]

@DeltaAce06 TRUE THAT

WHITES DONT KNOW 

[VampGirI]

@lakerstekkenn What the???? I am white, I know.... I wasn't even born when this song was out.... don't make generalisations....

[bongo46]

@mauriceshoup your an idiot!

[gracom1977]

theyre black ????

[eludemann]

Why oh why is this version of this song not available on iTunes?? All I can find is a re-recorded version that sounds completely different, with much deeper vocals. I want this high-pitched goodness!

[DebiNga]

The photo at 1:46...where is La La Brooks in that photo?...

[Bapewatch01]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon good film :P

[disandthat]

One of these singers is Prodigy's mother. He's 1half of the rap group Mobb Deep.

GOODFELLAS

[humbaltajwani]

Well he walked up to me And he asked me if I wanted to dance He looked kinda nice And so I said I might take a chance When he danced he held me tight And when he walked me home that night All the stars were shining bright And then he kissed me Each time I saw him I couldn't wait to see him again I wanted to let him know That he was more than a friend I didn't know just what to do So I whispered I love you And he said that he loved me too And then he kissed me

[phylliswaterfield]

reminds me of mom she always danced to this.

[H4mmerofD4wn]

I can't help but think of Adventures In Babysitting, when I hear this song. I love this song! :)

[phunkblister1]

@H4mmerofD4wn I can't help but think how awesome black people are when i hear this song. wasn't this in another white movie, goodfellas.

[ridgerunner721601]

@H4mmerofD4wn Me too. Also, I have a strange desire to go walking around the kitchen at the Copa Cabana when I hear this song too. The song was also on the soundtrack of Goodfellas.

[nicoyadoll]

@H4mmerofD4wn ME TOO! Love that movie!

[kukcanoeing]

3 persons have to wait for a table in the restaurant

[67purpleful]

[MrKalboune1]

i was born on 1990 and i just adore the old days from the 1912 and on, n even i didnt live it but

jjust from movies to music it makes me feel how it use to be

not like now a days just trash everything is falling apart

its like life dont have a taste anymore

[Wagneryan]

Very happy that I was in high school in the 1950's, college, and grad school in the 1960's. Two decades of 'fab' music!

[Rubberdinghyrapids]

cunt...................... to all the idiots, that dont know good music!!! im 33, and this was one of my song this year in june 2011 !!! i wasnt old enuff to hear this song first time round, but i know good music, and i had it as one of our wedding songs when we was signing our register!!

[Dactuck]

@Rubberdinghyrapids Cunt? Relax. Thanks for posting your response to a classic.

[qwondoflex]

All eras have some great music, but not all of them contain as much soul as the Motown era. It was music that took you somewhere, even if you never got up from your chair.

[tonkinshipwreck69]

damn........

[The74elephant]

Oldies Live Forever!

[timebaby3]

an era of truely decent music, I especially liked the female vocalists of the 50's and 60's, back then they just wanted to sing and they were classy, unlike today how most of them are trying to be little pop divas and beauty queens, not to mention their music doesn't have much to say.

[FirstElvis]

Gosh, this is REAL rock 'n' Roll. Makes me wanna shuffle my feet and clap my hands. Gets into my soul. Moves me. I feel good about it. Rock 'n' roll, my son...

[olymonty]

La La Brooks has stated numerous times that Darlene Love was never, ever a Crystal.

[KoiNadi]

awwww superb CLASSIC

[sixtiesforever1966]

On this original recording there were only three... Delores LaLa Brooks,

Barbara Alston, and Darlene Love

[yellofury]

I always replay that scene from "Goodfellas" with this tune. They play off each other so well

[desert3347]

God I Love "LaLa's" Voice!!

One Of The Best Girl Groups On This Planet!!

[69ssrszl1]

one of the greatest girl groups of the era.

[Dj5laifat]

Henry.. What do you do ? ?

[raiderdanCA]

The hard-driving percussion and the "sassy" delivery of the lyrics make this song one of the TRUE CLASSICS....

What line could be more powerful than " I knew that he was mine, so I gave him all the love that I had ..." ?  DAMN, I LOVE IT !!!

[mariomoran33]

@doowopit i know, just kidding ,,especially black girls used to wear wigs ,,but jus like you said .....was the fashion and you know what??/they looks great!!!!!

[TheSmutchypuss]

@mariomoran33 "used to" i love it.

[Susikins58]

Oh, why don't they make music like this anymore?

[mariomoran33]

THIS SONG IT MUST BE CALLED  WIGS!

[starinthehoodmuzz]

@Fonno88 Yawnnnnn im done with your bull shit your boring me don't step in front of a bus will you ciao !

[starinthehoodmuzz]

@Fonno88 Your a pathetic waste of time who thinks he's clever to comment on my post with a " get fucked " when you don't agree with what i wrote . Thats my opinion if you don't like it don't like it . All you proved was your a keyboard warrior who need to grow a pair and stop being a big mouth over the internet :) and whats with the Kthxbai is that your immigration number you illegal immigrant !

[starinthehoodmuzz]

@Fonno88 Stop chatting shit keyboard warrior your boring me now so jog on back to mummy you little girl !

[67finfan]

[mizzfoxy9]

La la was and still is great.Wonderful performance by La LA on PBS.

[latefor]

please don't tell me that this is Darlene Love actually singing just dilutes the Crystals impact makes them become glass!

[videotimesss1]

There is no doubt, the 1960s were the premium years for great sounds that will always be classics. Also, people were free! Not so many restrictions caused by over population, and business greed, causing unemployment.

[coolsweetgroovy]

I love them to me the lineup doesn't matter

[starinthehoodmuzz]

The only era's of music worth listening to are the 60's and 70's they can never be beaten just awesome !
