Nancy Sinatra - So Long Babe (Great song) [HD video]

[GreatDane4Ever]

Everytime I see guys doing dance numbers from 1960's variety shows, I can't help but laugh and think of how SCTV did skits about this.... Rick Moranis and Juul Hallmyer.

[fromthesidelines]

This song, by Lee Hazlewood [his first for her], was released at the time she sang this on {"name of variety show"} in 1965. It wasn't a "Top 10" hit. It wasn't until Nancy became a "California blonde", and recorded "Boots" (also by Hazlewood) that she became a "hit".

[kerplunktube]

She is singing out of tune. Out of tune at 1:43 to mention but one bad note. In fact she is not really singing at all, she is talking the song. I guess if you're Frank Sinatra's daughter you can't be told you can't sing, so you become a star.

[JimmyBoi2]

@kerplunktube They really did tailor her songs to her talents and range... under Frank's orders!

[defundthewar]

@JimmyBoi2  Yes, range. She ran the gamut from A to B.

[Michael93406]

This song does not come close to Boots or the video made from it. You crazy Nor is it anywhere near You Only Live twice.

Bruce Lee actually was a 1950's champion dancer in his native Hong Kong.

[calif562]

Did Bruce Lee start out as a dancer?

[ladyvee7110]

I think I like her better as a brunette.

[CJLinOHIO]

this is great! thanks for posting....

[milbury55]

Classic song and what a babe!

[BADDOOKUS]

Just want to go back there for a while

[oakincornwall]

The dancers are so bad !

[SixtiesPopGold]

@oakincornwall Well, it's more a question about looking cool and they sure did. And what is bad or good dancing? I laugh my ass off when I watch some of today's boy bands (or boy bands from the 90s), looking as they're doing work out or something. Not to mention their stupid clothes.

[CenaTv2]

@oakincornwall The Dancers on Hullabaloo always suck.

[gymer15]

@oakincornwall I would dance bad around nancy in tight clingy stretch pants too

[kirgiz1981]

@oakincornwall they are not bad. don't forget there where other standards in the 60s.

[jballful]

POWER is so simple when u got it , 100% italy girl, so smooth and controled, perfection...

[MrMikeb1958]

MILF!

[beastofburden123]

She looks so young here, aw.

[MrSalvage1969]

She sounds horrible.

[Hobbit997]

Nice dark hair, Nancy. Is it just me or does it make you look a bit like Maxwell Smart's secretary? Jack

[zippgun1]

@Hobbit997

She does look a bit like Barbara Feldon (Agent 99) from "Get Smart"-she wasn't Smart's secretary though!

[clintonearlwalker]

@zippgun1 Barbara Feldon was hot, it seems I remember when she was pregnant on the show :)

[MrNME69]

man i wished i looked like her... shes beautiful... im ugly...

[TheTVs]

@MrNME69 Stop that.

[reverendsmokemurphy]

This song fascinates me in that the lyrics don't ever seem to be discussed. It marks the beginning of the Hazlewood years, her marriage to Tommy Sands had just ended, and her early sappy songs that never took off are a thing of the past. So enters a song about failure and leaving and picking up the pieces and misunderstood songs. It sounds like a kissoff to both Sands and to her own sweet, innocent days. To me, that's what makes it a brilliant song. Lee Hazlewood was a genius.

[sponkmonki79]

When she clocks the camera focussing on her at 1:38 and then, after looking so distant and nonchalant, cracks a cheeky, wickedly knowing smile..........

Begorrah, excuse me while I change my nethercrackers!

[Noorah101]

She definitely looks better as a free-spirited blonde. :)

[unclebillmusic]

I wish some people would look and listen and think b 4 making there comments !

Nancy is singing live, a-long to the music track - and she's perfect. Let's see - I bought this album in Feb. 1966. Played this, and "I Move Around, a million times ! Nancy Sin, as I call her, is one of the top 10 female singers in Rock and Roll ! At the !:33 mark she gives that "eye's" and "head" nod, and smile and grin that makes her look so BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE NANCY

[capablemachine]

She sounds a bit flat.

[1970groupie]

@capablemachine

I think she sounds flat in this one too, and I'm a fan

[VegardMinde]

Well -it has flow atleast.

[MrBigfishs]

Wheres the pyrotechnets and lazar lighting, oh not invented yet.

[VegardMinde]

@MrBigfishs They had make-up to make up for that...

[MrBigfishs]

You must have a better musical ear than me she sounds in tune to me?

[MrBigfishs]

If Nancy had todays clothing and hair dos she would be very hot.

[b3yonc3LLLuva]

Great song.

[philipperholland]

rip lee hazlewood

[snoops71]

Very nice

[jekiwe]

it is no wonder I had the biggest crush on Nancy back in the day...I still see those "go-go"boots.....of course as years went by i remember a certain magazine publication in which she was the "ladies" featured..and still looked great WOW!

[gli7utubeo]

She had lots of great songs but nobody remembers anything but boots. Thanks for this.

[Memale2009]

Quand-même je trouve que "This boots" est beaucoup mieux que ce titre.

[powergirl901]

a Lee Hazlewood song, says Wikipedia.

[ummerrahh]

very cool
