The Kingsmen - Money Money

[AlexandrosKaisaros]

someone release that girl in the right she's geting crazy! :D

[iNetSpy]

Ok the song is great, but I would LOVE to find out who the go-go dancer is on the upper right pedestal... re-watch this video and watch her dancing, she is truly-truly amazing! You have to remember this was the 60s *** most women *** did not dance with this kind of enthusiasm. Say it again... Amazing!

[MrPrevoz]

les bonnes années

[lady12480]

always looks like those girls are going to knock down the towers from dancing so much

[SurfBandFan]

The Beatles version sure didn't touch this...I dont get it.

[elquenadiequiere]

camara con la vieja de arriba a la derecha, se mueve bien cabron!!!

[ElComadreja777]

Jack Ely did the vocal on Louie Louie not Lynn Easton.

[kickassfan]

yeah baby

[ImOfNope]

Hey cats! Look at that crazy new dance!!

[robinspillman]

i have given way over to much to all of them and i can not take it back or do anything about it! i let it all go!

[Eoinposse]

This is Louie Louie!

[Yushimae]

@Eoinposse The first minute of it is Louie Louie - but once you get to about 0:50 it they start singing Money Money

[mikeknight4u]

I'm looking at the gogo dancers in the background and I'm thinking of the line from a robert rodriguez movie where someone says, "wail baby!" Anyone know the movie? :)

[stubs13]

money? get away?

[halloweenfiend666]

They don't make shows like this ne more. And there sure isn't many bands like The Kingsmen around.

[LORDHATE76]

Is there only song?

[tondelayo29]

I just left Lynn's retirement party and am amazed.....Lynn Easton has been a personal friend of mine for the past 6 or so years and until today I had no idea and no hint to this phase of his life. He is one of the most caring and compassionate men I have ever know....add to that his humor you find a combination that can't be beat. Now I a taking some time to see him as a "Rock Star"

[SuperSlohan]

Retired from where? I have been the biggest Kingsmen fan all my life. I've always wondered where these guys went, I am a huge Eastman fan! Please let me know. These guys were so important in the evolution of rock!

Thanks

[Yushimae]

@SuperSlohan They were originally from Portland, Oregon. They now do an occasional show in Seattle for a special event, just for kicks - but from what I heard they retired back in Portland. Not sure if it's true - but they certainly seem to be sticking around the pacific northwest.

[talerdudansk]

Totally cosmic. Way ahead of their times,

.

[jonrickly]

i was playin' drums in columbus ohio back in 63' ...sigh...

the kingsmen were the tuffest bant for us...

we even learned "the kingsman intrduction"...a tune that gave every one in the band a moment to play a short solo and introduce us to the audience..

then the british invasion hit...

and we jumped on board.

but we always respected the kingsmen!

[airsoftminor]

man this video and song are amazing. i would give everything to live in that time and place

nice to see people from that era are still with us

massive respect from croatia

[fumaremigel]

You're right. I would really like to live in that time. But not here.

Greetings from Serbia

[andyrooney11]

The music is great...the dancing looks like a circus. I wonder if people 40 years from now are going to look back at us and think how stupid we look. ouch.

[tondelayo29]

HaHa...all i can say is "Yes they will"

[RoyFive]

Somebody needs to give the radio stations a heads up and let them know the Kingsmen did other stuff besides Louie Louie!

[bigbthedj1]

Like....Little Annie Fanny, The Climb, Jolly Green Giant, Haunted castle, etc etc

[RoyFive]

...for starters! :-)

[bigbthedj1]

I was stationed at McChord from 76-82...my ex was from thyere and she would tell me how she woudl sneak out of her house and go to the Castle. Plus I worked with a civilan on base who introduced me to the Northwest Sound being from Ohio I only heard of the Kingsmen he introduced me to the Sonics, Wailers etc..

[fecalomas]

this is the original song?

[kmryan182]

OMG that is a Kingsmen song!!! Holy crap!!! I knew The Flying Lizards cover. Yay, Portland! :)

[hendrik04]

the song ius called louie, louie...

[dmroxs]

The few first seconds (0:12 - 0:34) of this vid is Louie Louie; the remainder of this vid is The Kingsmen performing Money.

[nickkalisz]

:53 the chick in the top right is having a spazm or an orgasm

[themage747]

LOL !!!! rock on!

[MarvinCooke]

is the song really called "money,money", cause this is a cover of song by batrett strong which is just called "money(that's what i want)"?

[lopezmt]

You're right. But there is some controversy, John Lee Hooker was singing a song titled "I need some money" prior to Barrett Strong, and the lyrics are almost the same.

[Jewman4000]

Cool song! Just a thought btw, if you still have the original source material, try transcoding to Progressive scan, as I think that should get rid of the lines in all the fast moving scenes. Otherwise, nicely done and what's the name of the show their on?

P.S. Those cages the girls are on look well unsafe but the dancing is awesome!

[bass1777]

r u fucking rterted the son is louie louie

[swingers4life1964]

and if u werent fucking retarded and were to listen the whole vid before commenting youd see that the song is money money

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

what a douche bag

[jjakesal]

wow do u fuckin watch the whole video?

[wakeinthecity9]

the version by the sonics is the best

[zobajoe]

You call that dancing?

[tyler24000]

yeah, i do

[barrydegooijer]

The Beatles - Money, is also great!!

[redkennedy]

I prefer Barrett Strong's version, Wikipedia says..this song was covered by a plethora of artists, including Buddy Guy,The Beatles,John Lennon during his solo career,The Kingsmen,The Rolling Stones,Led Zeppelin,The Doors,Pearl Jam,Jerry Lee Lewis,The Flying Lizards,Shonen Knife,Secret Machines,The Sonics,The Smashing Pumpkins,Hanson,Cheap Trick,Josie and the Pussycats,Great White,The Blues Brothers,The Avengers,The Supremes,Jr. Walker &the All Stars,John Lee Hooker,The Miracles& Etta James!!

[69charger440sixpack]

@redkennedy wtf are you dumb? dont fucken go to wikipedia for information.

[redkennedy]

@69charger440sixpack Why not? It's not life or death, only a bit of trivia, magazines/programmes can be wrong too, it's not a big deal, chill your boots

[69charger440sixpack]

@redkennedy lmao you said chill your boots. Nice.

[KoivuTheHab]

@redkennedy I think The Pagans covered this song too!

[lazr25]

@redkennedy you forgot the Iguanas and also Iggy Pop played it in his band, the Stooges

[frommydoochie]

good song to dance to.

[snatchhog]

I bet those go-go dancers had hot,sweaty snatches..hmmm!

[rystrttn1]

i love you (k!)Not lost you derr

[reaperxfox9]

I LUV KURT, hes the best singer eva

[CJurasin]

Nirvana? Kurt C. went to the same high school I did.........only alot of years later.

[jonrickly]

one of the first white bands to use a hammond organ with a leslie that i can remember...the rascals were next

gotta love 'em..

[CJurasin]

The Kingsmen also did "Little Latin Lupe Lu," and "Green Giant".  Anybody got any Wailers or Viceroys clips?

[57highland]

"Jolly Green Giant" was hot and hilarious. "Little Latin Lupe Lu" was a scorching rocker. You forgot "Annie Fannie" and "The Climb".

[CJurasin]

The Climb, I've never heard.....but I DID hear an Olympia station (KGHO) play "The Witch" by "The Sonics" today. It was cool to hear it on the radio again after all these DECADES! Also, I saw Pat O'Day doing a TV commercial on Seattle's KING TV last nite. (He was a DJ on Seattle's KJR radio station. By the way, Mark Lindsay (Paul Revere & Raiders) does an oldies radio station every Saturday Night in Portland. He also just opened an Oldies Music Cafe downtown Portland this past month.

[CJurasin]

The Kingsmen were a great Pacific Northwest Garage Band back in the early and mid '60s along with the Viceroys, Sonics, Beach Combers and Wailers!! Long live Seattle Rock!!! "KJR Seattle Channel 95!" Whatcha think Pat O'Day???

[Ginny908]

the song is Louie Louie, not money money!

[Afghanen]

listen to the whole song you prick! its money..

[yis2]

Hot girls they got down! hahahah how old are they now? 50 something ready to retire hehehe.

[asorls1]

Love the go-go girls in the cages. They are way cool

[RoyFive]

Somebody needs to get the title right. I guess Google got mixed up.

[RoyFive]

Done deal--thanks, You Tube...

[LouieAlsaidi]

haha groupies

[MCSWIZ]

Those girls were top notch back then...I wonder what they look like now?

Crypt Keeper would be liking them now!

[fanton2005]
