I tried to keep up with the girl in the green top............ The doctor says he thinks everything will heal and I will be able to walk again. I swear I could do that 30 years ago.
I hear ya! thought I was 6 when I first heard it, but guess I was 8. First song that ever stuck with me - is that sad??? Brings back memories of riding in the back of my parents blue bug on the way to the beach.....
Who's the crazies that gave this song 24 dislikes!? Come on, who could NOT like this fun song that makes us all smile! Somebody always has to spoil the fun. Oh well, pooh on them.
Anyway, good job creating an amazing video to accompany the song! Love it!!!
Had the album on 8-track as a kid, played dat ding till it disintigrated. Would LOVE to get the rest of the album, would buy the cd if it was ever remastered. My fave moment was seeing them on American Bandstand doing "The Telephone Song" - Can anyone name the dance they're doing? Loved this video!!!
OMGoodness, this is an awesome video, listen that music, look at em dancin, I remember when I could that, woooo hooo...love it.....adorable, thank you for the fun..:>)
I remember this song as a jingle in some commercial in the 90s, at that time I thought it was just a jingle lol. Hearing it in full, I have to say this is quite catchy n enjoyable. Have to say the guy with the gravel voice sounds a lot like Aussie transgender comedian character Aunty Jack played by Grahame Bond who had the famous line ''I'll rip your bloody arms off'' lol
@ITSASYRUP The vocalists were Roger Greenaway and Tony Burrows. Borrows fronted a number of one-hit wonder acts (often at the same time) such as Edison Lighthouse, The Flower Pot Men, White Plains, The First Class and Brotherhood of Man.
My Gosh! I remember this song veeeery well (being the first one that I actually remember...) I was as little as a mosquito back then, but insisted carrying around my brother´s magnetophone (behind his back) that had this song on it...I had to carry it with two hands (for it was so darn heavy), but I got all the kids around the block hanging around me like if I was some kind of a DJ or something hahaha! I never got caught ;D
Bizarre all those connotations to this song...drugs, sex, wtf? I can tell you nothing to do with all that. I knew the writer Michael Hazlewood well when I was little as he was a friend of my parents, who are Dutch. he heard them talking dutch in the kitchen, saying 'geef me dat ding eens aan' (hand me that thing) which sounds like 'geme dat ding'. That's all it was! And it was part of a musical for kids he was writing called Oliver and the Clock. No sex or drugs at all!
I am surprised some dead head hasn't called this song "racist", because it uses slang.....wazzamaddu America - we wuz freer in the 70's than now. Too much politikal crekness.......another form of tyrrany against the people....or sheple as we have become. And what IS a PIMPKIN???
I LOVED THIS SONG BACK WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY BACK IN 1970. I WAS STATIONED I.G.M.R., PENN. ABOUT 20 TO 30 MILES FROM HARRISBURG, PENN. IT WAS A R.O.T.C. CAMP IN THE SUMMERTIME BACK THAN. DON'T KNOW IF IT STILL IS?
Wow. I thought we were the only ones that ever heard of this wacky song. We had the Pipkins album as kids and played it all the time, over and over! I'm sure my mother hated that somehow it ever got into the house!!
@RatuscaDinIarba They are the San Francisco Jitterbugs performing a Collegiate Shag Routine On The USS Hornet in 2000. They have a video of the whole routine on YouTube.
This track, featured onthe UK children's TV show "Oliver and the Overlord," reached #9 in the U.S. over a 12 week run beginning May 23, 1970. The vocalists? Songwriter Roger Greenaway ("Green Grass," "You've Got Your Troubles," "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress," etc.) and deep-voiced Tony Burrows (First Class, Edison Lighthouse, The Brotherhood of Man, etc.). Both also worked together in the group White Plains ("My Baby Loves Lovin'). This track gets my vote as one of the '70s greatest hits.
It's not actually Hippies, it's not actually Muppets, but I always saw this as being by Hippie Muppets! Anybody who thinks music has progressed any in the last forty years, ask yourself if anything this fun could happen on the charts today.
Say what you want about the Seventies, but we used to be able to have fun then.
I remember this song from "Ally McBeal" when John Cage did a crazy dance to it when he was stressed - always very funny! Thanks for putting it on here!
I thought it was an Artie Johnson (from Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In) imitation. He played a a dirty old man named Tyrone F. Horneighi who used suggestive language to tease an old lady, Gladys Ormphby in a park. That rough, deep voice was a great imitation.
Feet don't fail me now. Forget the girl in green I would like to just be able to dance like the opening act. No matter how one looks at it this was the "good ole days" for many reasons. Life was simple and fun fun fun. Just gimma dat ding baby!
. If my deciphering is correct – and I’m certain it is - the trickery is revealed: “Ah what good’s a metronome without a bell for ringing? How else can anybody ever know he’s ringing? How can you tell the rhythm written on the bar? How can you ever hope to know just where you are?” The pipkins were clever … CLEVER!
Yes, we cannot rule out the possibility that "ding" refers to the principal copulatory organ of male mammals, and to be honest, for 40 years (1970 to 2010) I was inclined to consider “ding” a somewhat restrained suggestion of bawdiness. This notion received a possibly accidental assist from a 1972 pop song, “Ding –A-Ling.” But the rest of the lyrics, which I needed four decades to decide I finally understood, led me to rethink the message, and to applaud the sly verbal trickery involved.
I have wanted to know all about Eve, 25, the awesome dancer in this video...now Eve...if you dont tell us something about yourself I am going to retrofit Marlon Brando from Streetcar Named Desire to yell to the top of his lungs.....EVE.....EVE.....EVE....tell us about you or I will hit STELLA!!!!!!!!!!
Another 70's gem. I was 13 when this came out, and our local radio station played it lots, you gotta love a song that combines honky tonk piano music with a little bit of early rap.
@PCEntertainment2 She's a swing dancer. The dance she's doing is mostly solo Collegiate Shag, as is the partnered dance that the many other vintage film scenes in this clip depict, too (with a few other swing dances such as the opening clip of Jewel McGowan and Dean Collins doing the Lindy Hop). I mix Charleston/Collegiate Shag in my solo dancing, & people have asked me if I was doing a form of clog dancing or Irish dance, so I can understand why you'd guess that.
@evoorheeswhelan It's actually a couple of different dances, but mostly what you're seeing is Collegiate Shag (not to be confused with Carolina Shag - also a great dance, but VERY different in looks and movement). If you look for groups that Lindy Hop, you'll probably find people or classes that will teach you to Collegiate Shag as well. It's a pretty fantastic dance. :)
@Direness Shouldn't be confused with the Backseat Shag,still the most popular dance in the world but likely to get you arrested if performed in public
This song was actually banned locally in Beaumont Texas when I was a kid. It was a time when older people "heard" all sorts of sex or drug references things in song lyrics.such as Simon & Garfunkle's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" meaning the bridge is drugs,that can get you over your problems, LOL
@kirbygene The real meaning of Gme dat ding is when you are removing a ceased rusted bolt....spraying penetrating oil all over it and then tapping it lightly to cause vibrations what this does is suck the oil down into the threads.." ting.., ting...,ting ting" how can someone ban that???
@kirbygene Remember when "A day in the life" off Sgt. Pepper was banned here in Texas? It was because of the "I'd love to turn you on" line. I grew up in Ft. Worth. Great music in them days, if the radio would play it!
@PoppaBlue59 I sure do remember, but I knew that John Lennon was being pretty explicit there, lol.. Most of the time the Beatles hid their risque lyrics with lines like "she's a prick teaser-- she took me half the way there" becoming "she's a BIG teaser", LOL
17 Southern Baptist don't like this because they think god doesn't like dancing...Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and i'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein
For 41 yrs I've tried to understand why I'm so hooked on this song, because it seemed like nonsense at best and insanity at worse. But after more than four decades of studying it, I realize that it's deceptively complex, cleverly arranged and brilliantly performed. Aside from all this it actually MEANS something, although the foghorn voice adroitly conceals that fact and adds subtle mystery through its seeming intelligibility. To think: I went from a teenager to a Sr citizen scoping it out; Oy!
Well, "ding", as in "das Ding", is a German word for "thing". So it could also be Yiddish for "thing". The word "thing" is sometimes used as a slang term for "penis". The expression "gimme" means "give me", while "dat" is another way of saying "that". So, literally, "Gimme dat ding" means "Give me that thing." But what is the "thing" in question? is it something sexual? Or something else? (AS the raspy voice seems to suggest.) .
The SLIDE at 0:25 is amazing. In my personal opinion, this is when dance was still dance. Today's dance moves remind me of someone going through withdrawal--endless jerking and hand waving.
@aarhaug33 Yeah, I know - it isn't, but it sounds like a duet between Ray from Dr. Hook and "Mr. Herbert" from "Family Guy" (the old man who's in love with Chris).
This was freaking awesome!!!

How can you tell the rhythm written on the bar?
(Well, you don’t go too far, that’s what you do!)
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?
(Well, yah look around yah,)
Gimme dat, ah gimme dat, ah gimme dat, (And gimme dat, gimme dat,)
Gimme dat, gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme …
Gimme gimme - yeah, I gotcha!)

Without a bell for ringing?
(You’re right, you’re right, it’s no use, you know!)
How else can anybody ever tell he's swinging?
(Ah, they can’t tell!)

For 41 yrs I've tried to understand why I'm so hooked on this song, because it seemed like nonsense at best and insanity at worse. But after more than four decades of studying it, I realize that it's deceptively complex, cleverly arranged and brilliantly performed. Aside from all this it actually MEANS something, although the foghorn voice adroitly conceals that fact and adds subtle mystery through its seeming intelligibility. To think: I went from a teenager to a Sr citizen scoping it out; Oy!

Has anyone ever analyzed this song? I have, and now someone can analyze ME!

@sltzbgh
Well, "ding", as in "das Ding", is a German word for "thing". So it could also be Yiddish for "thing". The word "thing" is sometimes used as a slang term for "penis". The expression "gimme" means "give me", while "dat" is another way of saying "that". So, literally, "Gimme dat ding" means "Give me that thing." But what is the "thing" in question? is it something sexual? Or something else? (AS the raspy voice seems to suggest.) .

The SLIDE at 0:25 is amazing. In my personal opinion, this is when dance was still dance. Today's dance moves remind me of someone going through withdrawal--endless jerking and hand waving.

That girl who dances at 0:32 and 2:00 is a pretty damned good dancer (and she has a nice body as well - very cute).

I was willing to bet money that this song was by "Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show"... The guy sounds just like Ray!

@aarhaug33 Yeah, I know - it isn't, but it sounds like a duet between Ray from Dr. Hook and "Mr. Herbert" from "Family Guy" (the old man who's in love with Chris).
