the skies over the greater vancouver beaches usually only have half that number at the best of times..even in the summertime. honest, this city could be nicknamed cloudsville.
@inkey2 I understand your sentiments, but how can you have "fluffy fun and superficial joy" when for a number of reasons, so many people are hurting deeply inside? Bottom line is that our entire socio economic system has auto-immune disease. It used to be that if you got a good education, you could get a good job. Now, if you get a good education, you get a lousy job (if any) and a huge debt. The Reagan Revolution has now come full circle. So blame Reagan and his supporters, not today's youth.
i used to sing this when i was about 4 or 5 to my mum...im now 34 and sadly lost my mum 3 years ago....memories of happy times ...cant beat 60's music.
Sixties Forever 1966, that year was far from perfect (I was there, too). But like you, I would go back in a New York minute! I was just thinking about this last night...about some of the things you mentioned. There are many times I wish the clock would have just stopped.
I wish somebody would make an R rated version of this using the same type of people...huge, gay-looking body builder guys, euro-style model females, and everyone wearing designer beach clothes. I don't need porn, just want to see the high-style kissing and beslobbering and caressing.
Love Bobby! Local boy who did good! Someone asked me to sing this, I just can't! It wouldn't be the same without Bobby singing it! He still does concerts ! ! !
hey no tattoos on any of these babes!!!. no tramp stamps!. what a nice sight to see. whats gonna happen to all you girls when you are 65. droopy old bags with tattoos. yum what a sight.
Doesnt get any better than this. His girlfriend is cookin!. I take her in a heart beat. That was when america was so together and not a bunch of assholes
@Lockbar Think again!, back when this video was made everything was plain & simple. This video glamorizes a beach party that didn't take place back.. I grew up in this era & let me tell you that Bikini's & even two piece sunwear was non-existant back in '63. Here in Vancouver Cda we have a number of beaches(Kitsilano) & it wasn't until '70 that u would see Bikini tops along with cut-off jeans!!!ok, so u tell me why u think they had sex after shooting this sexy video!?? YES!..yes/yes?
@Ezdduf4kuZ You're talking about Canada, I'm sure that bikinis were on the beaches back then in California, Florida and the beaches of France. My relatives live in Canada too, and they were behind the USA in fashion etc. until a couple of decades ago.
@CuteMcBeauty ...I agree. It's a shame that most guys are afraid to wear speedos or square-cut trunks on the beach anymore. The straight guys don't, at any rate. They insist on wearing those big boardshorts that reveal nothing. It's like, what are they hiding? Or hiding from?
Hahahah at one point I could see one of the boulder´s shadow reflected on the "night sky"... Hahaha!! But I reaaaaally dig that crazy go-go dancing!!! I wish I had lived in these times!!!
Well I live in Northern Illinois .. am middle aged .. had my husband put tons of sand in the backyard corner and a fire pit. Makes me feel good to put my feet in the sand and sit by the fire... even found palm trees that grow in the North! We love to party out there in the summer... next I want a patio heater so I can stay out there as long as possible...Love the oldies ...no music like this around anymore

ALAN
@5191keith Definitely not! Actually, I can remember that seeing someone grossly obese was quite a sight well into the 1980s (this was before my time, but "the fat lady" was a fairly popular attraction in freak shows). Now they seem to make TV programs even where being incredibly fat is taken as a "given" (like "Mike and Molly").
Gog-go dancing with seaweed? With all those "sand fleas", that would be really messy! And what about that girl in a camisole? I don't think I've EVER, even today, when "pop stars" are supposedly "slutty", seen anyone wearing just underwear on a beach...
@sixtiesforever1966 yeah, I am so phukin sick of this century......I am tired of seeing cars that look like toasters with 4 wheels and no chrome, 250 pound 10 year olds walking around, bad government, shitty schools, people dressed like horses asses, cops working as revenue collectors instead of peace officers, turned around hats, adults dressed like Spanky from the little rascals,....I just want to get a crew cut, slip on my penny loafers and smoke a lucky strike
@inkey2 Yes. Lets go back to the days of racial and sexual oppression and overwhelming conformity! Great plan. Things looked good at least, I agree on that point.
@yukznfunnyz well.....lets look at the year 2012 in the USA....mired down in long term wars, terrorism, 300 bank failures in the last 3 years, a dollar back by absolutely nothing, sky rocketing; national debt, illegal drug use & epidemic of child suicides from bullying.....mexican drug cartels taking over the entire south west, ten U S states going bankrupt, the constitution being dismantled, ..........I don't know about you but i'll still take the beach party days
@inkey2 Hmm. Well... lets look at 1962... Severe racism, severe sexism, fear of nuclear attack, the cold war, Marilyn Monroe commiting suicide by overdosing on pills, Vietnam, murders and lynchings at Civil Rights protests. Yeah! Sounds like a real beach party!
What simple, carefree times! Oh to return to them.
@yukznfunnyz For me it was the happy time when LUIS MUN~OZ MARIN was governor of my PR. A great man, whose present day successor, the embezzler and traitor misFortuno, is not fit to lick the soles of his shoes.
@yukznfunnyz so you don't think severe sexism and racism doesn't exist now? How many gay school children have killed themselves over being harassed about their sexuality. You hear about a new case every week. Severe racism exists mow only it has switched to Arab Muslims instead of blacks. As far as Marylin Monroe...so one movie star over doses because she was upset about John F. Kennedy and his brother using her as a sex toy....so what. Nuclear attack.....the threat is worse than ever
@inkey2 Let's put on our clam diggers and grab some girl with her hair full of White Rain and her lips shiny with ice pink gloss.........You can borrow some English Leather from me, if only you can find the girl and the beach and tell me how to get there..........
@iamintheburg that sounds good.....lets load up our new (aqua colored) Rambler station wagon, fill the solid steel cooler with ice & 6 oz bottles of coke, grab a carton of unfiltered Pall Malls at the local drug store, bring a lunch box size transistor radio (the type with the big leather strap on the top to carry it)......hit the beach in style....cooler, radio, large beach towel, green collapsible beach chairs.......I am totally up for it
@inkey2 I'm there, mon frere. I'll bring the Brylcreem ( you have your own comb, OK? ), CopperTone, and Lorna Doones; also got the Hoola hoops...maybe I can hike my little sister's close 'n' play record player and we'll have 45's to dance to -- SURF IS UP, MOON DOGGIE !
@inkey2 About 35 years ago some University of Chicago students had the same idea. A mile away was a Lake Michigan Beach, only it was about 0 deg Farenheit outside and the lake was frozen The sand was covered with snow. What did they do? They found a big open area in the University's Joseph Regenstein Library (some videos on youtube made there, check it out) and opened a beach umbrella, laid down some beach towels. I think they also brought an artificial palm tree in as well.
@moosatious a new counter culture should be ignited....short well groomed hair, penny loafers, clean shaven, white socks.......a culture of fluffy fun and superficial joy where there is no words more vulgar than "gee golly, damn, your mother wears army boots, and you smell bad." They will all do the "twist" and their biggest concern would be what junior college to get into and if they look enough like Pat Boon, George Hamilton , sanda Dee or Annette Funicello
I saw Bobby, Brian Hyland and the Chiffons at a benefit concert about a month ago. Great show for a great cause. It was fun to sing along to all the great songs. Lots of old people. Keep it up!
I first heard this and watched the original film reel on a Scopitone Music Film Jukebox at Ashorne Hall Nickelodeon (when my friend Craig Boswell was resident organist). I fell in love with this wonderful pop tune; it has remained a great favourite of mine ever since.
I happen to have this on my video called "How come so many people are having fun laughing sci fi bob December 11, 2008" (which has some technical difficulties) for best results start at 3:54 on MY video!!! it is LIVE & pass it on
my mum is a massive 60s fan - that was her era , so I grew up listening to songs like this - now I am a huge fan of 60s music too - love this song and bobbys other one that I know RUBBER BALLS :)
wow,,thats a good video for that era....Songs of that time,,made you thought of LIFE,LOVE,and FUTURE,,now songs make you think of where the nearest pharmacy is,so you can take headache pills....
See music videos have been around decades before Vh1 and MTV and others. Why did I think it was Bobby Vinton and not Bobby Vee who sand this same initals and too many Bobbys also get confused,
Oh my god this is hilarious and fabulous all at the same time. Great song, gorgeous guy but some of that stuff going on there is bizarre hahahaha So glad I found this - it's a keeper!
@unclebob100 LOL! That probably holds true for just about all of these Scopitones! But they are fun...in a "it's so bad, it's good" sort of way! But I have to agree with you. :-)
you should see this LIVE at this film festival I go to. I videotaped it off the screen and the audience is cracking up laughing and going "ooooohhhhhhhh..."
check out some more of my videos, because the live showings are on my account
including this song
it is on "How come so many people are having fun laughing sci fi bob December 11, 2008" (which has some technical difficulties) for best results start at 3:54 on MY video!!! it is LIVE & pass it on

The Girl on the Bike is a very young Patricia Smith who lives in spain now. She tells us she was 18 when this was filmed. She was working for a dance troup.
Scopitone is a type of jukebox featuring a 16 mm film component. It was a forerunner of music video. By the end of the 1960s, the popularity of the Scopitone had faded. The last film for a Scopitone was made at the end of 1978. As of the mid-2000s, one of the few Scopitones not in a museum or private collection in the United States was located at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee. look on wikipedia for more information...
@TEMPmichaelhansen Thanks, TEMPmichaelhansen. I'd forgotten all about my question and I've called up the Wikipedia page on scopitones. Will be reading up a bit more shortly. I still love to hear the Bobby Vee track as it takes me right back to the early 60s when I was still in single figures! Oh the memories of the songs from way back then................no rap, no violence in the lyrics and you could sing along to the words once you learned them! :)
This is both entertaining and disturbing at the same time- the girls who is kicking her legs all about or the girl on the scooter- why is she flapping her legs? WHY?
Lots of girls out of control flapping their legs...
There is much less innocence in this era than one thinks...
@suittied Oh yes - After I mentioned in last post about the innocence of this time, you're right it wasn't all that innocent but a little simpler and easy going.
@MrDavelitz Nothing like this was going down on the beaches or lakesides here in this neck of the woods!, Vancouver Canada to pinpoint the exact location. You could go to Kitsilano Beach/English Bay and tou would see a bikini poking around at this time/no way, okey! Perhaps at Huntington Beach in Greater L A, where everything was in an advanced mode..Dirty Book stores, Mary-Jane, Sex and of coarse Bikinis. Again, not here, we were too busy listening to Top40 rdio & Bobby Vee. Thx4 postin'
Is everybody having fun yet? I love this corny video and the music and look of the early 1960's! Makes me want to go to a beach party, if only we could party like this on the beach any more. If only the kids of today were still this fresh and innocent. Anyway - Bobby Vee still rocks!
Well, Jerry Lee Lewis got a scandall with his 13 yeaor old cousin. Chuck Berry got jail. Little Richard started sing gospel. Elvis went to the army. Ritchie Valens, Big Bopper and Buddy Holly died in a tragic plane crash. The rock & Roll was quiet dead... This gave space to funny performers like Bobby Vee get atention and some fame for a while.
This keep for a while until the Beatles became famous and Rock reborn, Yeaahh, yeahhh baby... ohnnn yeahhn
THE GIRL DOING SCISSOR KICKS ON THE BIKE IS FABULOUS! As is the adorable Bobby Vee with his hair blowing when he's on his hog in the beginning, and that tease of a jacket unzipped JUST far enough. Just enough to be Too Hot. But the girls.
The girls.
One of them is dancing with a KELP BOA for heaven's sake...
I'm a big fan, and I was probably 16 when this was produced. But, why? We had no music videos back then. Nothing in the movie theatres, nothing for this on TV. When would it have been aired? It is pretty risque for that era. Any answers?
@rwkennedy From what I have heard, Scopitones were like a sort of "video jukebox," you would put money in, & get to peek at a little movie (it was always scratchy old film I imagine from lots of play) while your song played. Apparently the whole notion did NOT catch on, & was very expensive to do. But it's GREAT this one survived, it really does have all the vitality (and suggestiveness!) of a current-day music video.
Yowzers! Sort of a sixites music video! A wonderful retro look at fashions of the 60's! What a gem to watch today for first time....THANKS for posting! I always liked the music of Bobby Vee...I think he was always an underated talent. You've made my day & my week! CHEERS! :)
283,925 little white lies, on ths the 13th day of march & it's a saturday...wouldn't you know it! Let's party with the BSB's, cause listening to this song just made for another little white lie, so now it's 283,926. Thanks for the party on the beach, i'm gonna boogaloo every saturday night to this video, so keep it posted.

An all-time classic "Music Video" (before there was such a thing.) I can't count how many times I've seen the clip of the dude in the blue bikini dancing!
There were no music videos back then...trust me. I have no idea why this was produced, but I love it. Complete c. 1964 kitsch, from my junior year, maybe? Love those ruffled bikinis! Not to mention the bikes. Mine was a Yamaha 55, a big bruiser. Would have fit well on that beach.
I know what your're saying maxti6, and I believe you know just what I'm saying....to reassure everybody understands, if these young ladies in this video were not to have aged aday since this video was shot and were to reappear as is or in french bikinis, I'm sure they'd still draw alot of attention at the beach, for the simple reason their hot chicks to begin with. The one with her arms around Bobby is my favorite. Thx for posting a video that could of been taken last summer, it's that hot!
Back when this was a major hit, chicks like the ones seen in this video were all hot...actually these kinda gals would still look great today. Give it some thought and then go check out all the gals at English Bay, in Vancouver Cda...and not just some of them. Check em all out on a warm & busy afternoon at this beach, then you'll know yourself how these chicks in thevideo really stack up. I don't recall beachwear of this sort back when, bikini tops were first seen along with the cutoffs. thx
Beach parties of this sort weren't going on around here, where we have more beaches than ou can shake a stick at. At least I never heard of them & the drinking age was still 21 here in Vancouver Canada and whats more there was no places to hangout...no malls, Mcdonalds & no slurpees. Baseball cards, marbles and doowop on the radio(am only). kinda makes me think just how far we've come along...there are those things I miss about the good ol' days like no sunday shopping & alot of bobby vee hits
The drinking age is back to 21 here in the United States of Assininity and being young is more and more a criminal act. Glad I was young in the 1970s when we had freedom.
The tops they wore, like in this video were pretty thick and had ruffles that enhanced their boobs.
Mostly, however, the reason that natural ones are smaller on the girls you see on TV now is that the girls now are way skinnier, which affects their breasts a lot. While they aren't necessarily fat, or even chubby, in these videos, they are not the size zero models you see today. For all the weight that today's models lose around their waist and hips, they lose a lot from the top.
the skies over the greater vancouver beaches usually only have half that number at the best of times..even in the summertime. honest, this city could be nicknamed cloudsville.

@inkey2 Hmm. Well... lets look at 1962... Severe racism, severe sexism, fear of nuclear attack, the cold war, Marilyn Monroe commiting suicide by overdosing on pills, Vietnam, murders and lynchings at Civil Rights protests. Yeah! Sounds like a real beach party!
What simple, carefree times! Oh to return to them.

@yukznfunnyz so you don't think severe sexism and racism doesn't exist now? How many gay school children have killed themselves over being harassed about their sexuality. You hear about a new case every week. Severe racism exists mow only it has switched to Arab Muslims instead of blacks. As far as Marylin Monroe...so one movie star over doses because she was upset about John F. Kennedy and his brother using her as a sex toy....so what. Nuclear attack.....the threat is worse than ever

@inkey2 About 35 years ago some University of Chicago students had the same idea. A mile away was a Lake Michigan Beach, only it was about 0 deg Farenheit outside and the lake was frozen The sand was covered with snow. What did they do? They found a big open area in the University's Joseph Regenstein Library (some videos on youtube made there, check it out) and opened a beach umbrella, laid down some beach towels. I think they also brought an artificial palm tree in as well.

@moosatious a new counter culture should be ignited....short well groomed hair, penny loafers, clean shaven, white socks.......a culture of fluffy fun and superficial joy where there is no words more vulgar than "gee golly, damn, your mother wears army boots, and you smell bad." They will all do the "twist" and their biggest concern would be what junior college to get into and if they look enough like Pat Boon, George Hamilton , sanda Dee or Annette Funicello

this is a scopiotone
Scopitone is a type of jukebox featuring a 16 mm film component. It was a forerunner of music video. By the end of the 1960s, the popularity of the Scopitone had faded. The last film for a Scopitone was made at the end of 1978. As of the mid-2000s, one of the few Scopitones not in a museum or private collection in the United States was located at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee. look on wikipedia for more information...
TEMPmichaelhansen 1 year ago
@TEMPmichaelhansen Thanks, TEMPmichaelhansen. I'd forgotten all about my question and I've called up the Wikipedia page on scopitones. Will be reading up a bit more shortly. I still love to hear the Bobby Vee track as it takes me right back to the early 60s when I was still in single figures! Oh the memories of the songs from way back then................no rap, no violence in the lyrics and you could sing along to the words once you learned them! :)

Perhaps at Huntington Beach in Greater L A, where everything was in an advanced mode..Dirty Book stores, Mary-Jane, Sex and of coarse Bikinis. Again, not here, we were too busy listening to Top40 rdio & Bobby Vee. Thx4 postin'

I'm a big fan, and I was probably 16 when this was produced. But, why? We had no music videos back then. Nothing in the movie theatres, nothing for this on TV. When would it have been aired? It is pretty risque for that era. Any answers?
rwkennedy 1 year ago
@rwkennedy From what I have heard, Scopitones were like a sort of "video jukebox," you would put money in, & get to peek at a little movie (it was always scratchy old film I imagine from lots of play) while your song played. Apparently the whole notion did NOT catch on, & was very expensive to do. But it's GREAT this one survived, it really does have all the vitality (and suggestiveness!) of a current-day music video.

The one with her arms around Bobby is my favorite. Thx for posting a video that could of been taken last summer, it's that hot!

where did those big natural boobs of the sixties and seventies go? :D
romagen 2 years ago
The tops they wore, like in this video were pretty thick and had ruffles that enhanced their boobs.
Mostly, however, the reason that natural ones are smaller on the girls you see on TV now is that the girls now are way skinnier, which affects their breasts a lot. While they aren't necessarily fat, or even chubby, in these videos, they are not the size zero models you see today. For all the weight that today's models lose around their waist and hips, they lose a lot from the top.
