@ponyboy1129 HA HA , That's pretty funny. No , they always had models on this show , basically doing nothing , while the bands played. They had women's (Living) heads sticking out of trophy plaques when The Animals did "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" , and moving in time to the music. I'm not the most enlightened male , but I even thought that looked incredibly sexist .
@m1kewithaone kingvidiot is right , this is Hullaballoo with Trini Lopez hosting....AND , The Texas Tornados are back (W/ Augie , Flaco , Shawn Sahm , Doug's son and sometimes Sir Douglas Quintet member , and Speedy Sparks , Ernie Durawa and Louie Ortega from the original lineup , plus a tuff younger singer whose name I forget.) , and throw any doubts you might have out the window. They ROCK ! SUNDAZED HAS A NEW SET OUT , OF ALL THE ORIGINAL SMASH / MERCURY SDQ and Doug Sahm sides
@pfordsq i didn't have any doubts about this song being a kick-ass rock and roll song, but i did like you said, and opened the window, (just in case) now, you may have doubts that because in 1966, i was only 10, that i would have trouble handling this song, maybe you're thinking it would be too much for me to handle at such a tender age, but don't bet on it, because you would be wrong, dead wrong, because i was weened on rock and roll ! and i knew how to play the radio! hullaballoo huh? thanx!
@m1kewithaone Allow me to explain , what I meant by "Doubts" was that some people are going to have doubts about The Texas Tornados w/o their two key singers/frontmen . But those doubts will be erased , as the band is on fire ! If I were 10 when "Mover" came out (In '65 , but , if you first heard it in '66 , you're years ahead of me.) , I would've been all over it , too. I first heard "Mendocino" when I was 5 , and I thought it was the most (Still do.) .
Why don' we music like this anymore? I danced to these groups of the 60's. It was awsome dawsome. Rap music nowadyas just does not cut it for me. I try not to make fun of the music my kids listen to. My parents were the same way. Maybe I'm anticuated and think like an old hippy. Enjoy these tunes folks. Long live Rock -n- Roll. Creedence, Beatles, Janice, Byrds, etc....
This is HILARIOUS!!! Bunch of hillbillies dressed up in pseudo-English garb, Seasme Street props, manequin-esque broad in chainmail NOT MOVING, headbanging keyboard player. Man, I'm going to drop some acid....see ya in a week!
Oh Yeah! I was blasting this in my truck yesterday getting nods from all ages. Even the deaf, numb, & ignorant teenage neighbors came asking, hey what's that? So many of these great Texas cats have left us though! Thank you kingviviot66. You and every other keeper of the faith.
well, that was awesome....for y'all who remember this group, last night i met augie meyer who's playing the Vox organ....which ruled in the mid 60's;.... and doug sahm's son, sean, who's now in the Texas Tornado's....which was the late Freddie Fender's band.....augie's played with a lot of biggiesand his band opened for buffalo springfield, mountain and dwight yoakum, among others...btw, that's trini lopez introducing....
@1982elenita Actually the Beatles "she's a woman" was lifted from THEM, if you listen to their version of "Sugar Bee" from 1964, it's the intro and chords to She's a Woman, this was later verified by Paul, who really didn't recall who it was, but that he had heard the riff somewhere. It was far from a hit, but obviously he heard it!
@Matildamothers I've never heard that, certainly it's possible, but seriously, Paul admitted that She's a woman was lifted from their song Sugar Bee, and chronologically there is no way it could be the other way around! :o) Just look up Sugar Bee.
Dig the Epi that Doug's playing! About the Beatle's influenc - I once heard an interview with Huey Meauxe (manager/producer) who said he spent a weekend in a hotel room with a case of Thunderbird trying to figure out the Beatle's secrect. The formula dawned on him - he applied it, and they had hits. By the way, the great Doug was a child prodigy on steel guitar, and played on the Grand Ole Opry as a child! He's among my top favorites of all time!
@PedanticbutKind The lead singer (the late, great Doug Sahm, and the keyboardist, Augie Meyer are/were Texas Tornadoes. Along with the late, great Freddy Fender and Flaco Jiminez
For years I thought these guys were a Black soul group! Whoaaa! And what's all this with Trini Lopez hosting a rock and roll show? Hip me to that would ya please? Time? Space? Place?
it was back before race became the all encompassing issue: they were from San Antonio, and everyone just played together because they liked the music.
From Shes about a mover to mendocino Doug sahm and the band from San Antonio have really placed themselves in a high position in The History of Rock and Roll..
Don´t be asshole. If you think that "She's About A Mover" Ripped off from the Beatles "She's A Woman", you are an idiot, in that case the 4 insects (beatles) Ripped off from Ray Chales song "What'd I Say " (from 1959 year)
The beatles were only 4 snob girls and nothing more.
Calm the f**k down you mouthy twat. it's only an opinion. Perhaps I should have said "heavily influenced by"...? Also - the Beatles had, and still have, a massive, wide-ranging influence and effect on rock music. Which is rather more than I can say for the Sir Douglas Quintet.
The Beatles also inspired thousands of bands all around the world and changed the way music was played and listened to. It's fine for you to dislike the Beatles, but If you don't understand this, you're either very blinkered or very stupid.
@Teotihuacan112 Beatles, insects? Along with Elvis they inspired a few million kids to buy musical instruments and changed music forever. Most of the successful artists of the last 40 years were inspired by the Beatles. Pretty amazing influence for "insects".
Sir Doug was an American treasure and did it all....from sitting on Hank William's lap and performing as a child to recording with the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan.
Seriously, this is just way too fuckin' cool. I want me one of them bad Sir Lancelot bowl cuts... This is surrealistic joy! "She's about a Mover"? I always thought it was " da beed-a badda-boo-bah.." :-)
@youknowwhichone sounds like ricky of the lucy show! lol oh it's trini lopez, i used to have a girlfriend named rocio lopez, wonder if they're related? ok, what song did trini lopez have out??
Notice when Trini mentions Texas, there's no hooting "YEAH!!!" nor applause. Tha'ts back in the day when Calif. ran America's music culture. Now, TEXAS rules it!--no one's clapping "Yeah!" for Calif. music these days!
That also might be because of what was going on politically by the time this probably aired. Don't forget that LBJ, from Texas, was President and his popularity was already slipping (although not nearly as bad as it would later) due to the escalating Vietnam War & also many southerns, unfortunately, were appalled that a fellow southern, LBJ, had signed the Civil Rights, Voting Rights act and was perceived at that time as the very socialist, Medicare, into law.
Just for the record, SHE'S A WOMAN by the Beatles was recorded Oct 1964 and released one month later... SHE'S ABOUT A MOVER didnt enter the top 40 charts until April 1965..both have the same beat....
Wonder how many people thought they were British. I can just hear the manager "hey lets give ourselves a British name, dress like British bands, learn some British dance moves, put some castles on the set and never never tell anyone your from Texas!"
Sorry, I don't hear anything in this that sounds like Ray Charles or the Beattles,just a unique sound and style invented by a group of guys who don't look a day over 18. Priceless!
are you serious? this is a straight ahead ripoff of 'she's a woman' by the beatles, they just changed the words & maybe slowed it down just a notch & the singer does sound very much like ray charles.. it's still a great sound from a great band...'every artist is a cannibal ,.. every poet is a thief ',...so why not steal from the best, i.e. beatles , ray charles, etc...
Too bad that tv producers were always trying to upstage the bands in these old videos. Get rid of the actor budget and pay the band. Great band, by the way.
have to admit can hear some Ray Charles & the Beatles in there - but I don't consider that a rip-off - all musicians, even the greatest Dylan, the Beatles have influences and may 'borrow' chords, melodies from others - it's what the artists add to it and make it different that matters!
It's called the Cajun 2-Step. The Beatles were known to draw inspiration from the roots music of the USA, and it is clearly heard on "She's a Woman". Hughey P Meaux, SDQ's producer and a Louisiana native, noticed this about the Beatles as well. Hence "She's About a Mover", a Cajun 2-Step but with a Tex-Mex flavor.
Thank you sirdoug3 and jimidom, walker 107 obviously knows nothing about music,as evidenced by her profile. I am not trying to discredit Mr. Sahm, but the very catchy "hey, hey" and the "what I say" lyric were both lifted from "What'd I Say (Part 1). A simple listen to both songs reveal the similarities. If SDQ came out before Charles, I would say that it was Ray who have been the "borrower".
man I love this shit..Even though I'm more down w/Louisiana stuff, this Texas sound is great..Man the video is wicked, and Trini Lopez is really precious here.., with a bit of sugar thrown in..
Loved Trini's Gibson Barney Kessel guitar. This tune is Tex-Mex party-on-the-patio music at its best.

Notice when Trini mentions Texas, there's no hooting "YEAH!!!" nor applause. Tha'ts back in the day when Calif. ran America's music culture. Now, TEXAS rules it!--no one's clapping "Yeah!" for Calif. music these days!

That also might be because of what was going on politically by the time this probably aired. Don't forget that LBJ, from Texas, was President and his popularity was already slipping (although not nearly as bad as it would later) due to the escalating Vietnam War & also many southerns, unfortunately, were appalled that a fellow southern, LBJ, had signed the Civil Rights, Voting Rights act and was perceived at that time as the very socialist, Medicare, into law.

Hardly the case. Audience were expected to behave themselves back then; ergo, rowdyism was out.

That's what Texans thought of when they thought of Rock music, I guess. Not great, but sympathetic.

Just for the record, SHE'S A WOMAN by the Beatles was recorded Oct 1964 and released one month later... SHE'S ABOUT A MOVER didnt enter the top 40 charts until April 1965..both have the same beat....

You're correct, When listening to this song, I couldn't help thinking of "She's A Woman" The Beatles.

Wonder how many people thought they were British. I can just hear the manager "hey lets give ourselves a British name, dress like British bands, learn some British dance moves, put some castles on the set and never never tell anyone your from Texas!"

Sorry, I don't hear anything in this that sounds like Ray Charles or the Beattles,just a unique sound and style invented by a group of guys who don't look a day over 18. Priceless!
steven39211 2 years ago
are you serious? this is a straight ahead ripoff of 'she's a woman' by the beatles, they just changed the words & maybe slowed it down just a notch & the singer does sound very much like ray charles.. it's still a great sound from a great band...'every artist is a cannibal ,.. every poet is a thief ',...so why not steal from the best, i.e. beatles , ray charles, etc...

Too bad that tv producers were always trying to upstage the bands in these old videos. Get rid of the actor budget and pay the band. Great band, by the way.

have to admit can hear some Ray Charles & the Beatles in there - but I don't consider that a rip-off - all musicians, even the greatest Dylan, the Beatles have influences and may 'borrow' chords, melodies from others - it's what the artists add to it and make it different that matters!

It's called the Cajun 2-Step. The Beatles were known to draw inspiration from the roots music of the USA, and it is clearly heard on "She's a Woman". Hughey P Meaux, SDQ's producer and a Louisiana native, noticed this about the Beatles as well. Hence "She's About a Mover", a Cajun 2-Step but with a Tex-Mex flavor.

Thank you sirdoug3 and jimidom, walker 107 obviously knows nothing about music,as evidenced by her profile. I am not trying to discredit Mr. Sahm, but the very catchy "hey, hey" and the "what I say" lyric were both lifted from "What'd I Say (Part 1). A simple listen to both songs reveal the similarities. If SDQ came out before Charles, I would say that it was Ray who have been the "borrower".

You'd have to be crazy on drugs to believe that Doug's song is a rip-off of either Ray Charles or the Beatles.

Because the song is a direct rip off of "What'd I Say" (Part 1) written by Brother Ray in 1959.
