  • What a great post. Thanks for sharing. He had a great voice, but I love that this is a little snippet of the 60's, the fringe vest, the back up singers...lol Terrific stuff.

  • That is quite a chest rug.

  • What a hunk.

  • Very few people have three octaves, and he is able to switch seamlessly.  Wow ... too bad I was in grade school back then 'cause he qualifies as a hunk ;P

  • Heck yes....Debbie, Bill, Rudikai, donmon....and others.........WE WERE ON THIS FROM THE BEGINNING! GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!

    Gotta go....I need to change the sheets in room 201!

  • IT IS MY FAV COMMENT FOR ALL TIMES!!!!! THE VERY BEST!

  • i adour this song

  • Is that the "pool cleaner guy" dancing on the far left? LOL

  • Hey Kath, I remember donmon (my buddy) made some great cracks about this video. That was way back when, I think, there were less than 1,000 views. Who would've guessed it's up past a quarter million? As donmon said, "It's a real toe-tapper!" I'll let donmon know he's still being talked about and get him back on!

  • Ok, Dompy....I was rereading the posts....was it donmon.....or you? WHATEVER, WHO CARES....we have been on this site longer than anyone! OK, except my old crew of friends...and, you guys know who you are! Debbie....are you with us?

  • Ahhhh....dompy....soooooo great to see your post! You and I are of the earliest posts for this great video. And, you will never, ever, ever know how many many times my friends and I have laughed so very hard at your post about the weird chick and her needing to clean up the motel room! You will always be in my initial memories of finding out about Lou Christie! Please keep posting...and, heck why not repost that hilarious comment every month!

  • ha! I was a Freshman in high school, he was so hot.

  • What's with the chick in the back? Were they like, "okay, these two girls are ok, you stand by the hairy singer guy who looks like a young Tim Robbins, but not YOU, you are too ugly for late 60's motel pool music videos, you go to the back!"

  • he is so, so so, cutie, sexy, handsome I just love him.

  • Mike Myers Austin Power were paroding all the sex appeal of men of that era. I guess the hairy chest is checked. Bad teeth from Peter Noone. Ugly glasses Michael Cain Peter Sellers or Woody Allen and the fashion was mod inspired but that is my opinion.

  • The 1960's. When people were NOT afraid of hair. Lou always makes romance sound so very much fun. Yum.

  • Both girls are seriously luscious but that brunette is out of this world!

  • So Groovy!!!!!!

  • Lou is awesome. SO sexy. The two girls are hilarious, though, as is the pool worker groovin' in the background - her 3 minutes of fame! But, seriously, no one can top Lou. He had it all - unbelievable voice, great musical ability, all the right moves and killer looks.

  • Too cute!

  • He almost look something like 'Jack Tripper' on "Three's Company". The short lady with the dark hair and Bumpit can be Janet, the taller lady can be Chrissy...lol!

  • where are the microphones? and why are they singing at a motel 6

  • Those girls look just a little creepy with all that big hair. Almost like marionettes.

  • Lou , a great concert to still see in 2011 !

  • JUST GOTTA LOVE THE 60'S ~ WONDERFUL MEMORIES!

  • brilliant wot a rug

  • Sooo cute!!!!!

  • Rick Moranis could do a great imitation of Lou Christie!!

  • Don't know why this is in black and white here, since TV10 aired the show in color.

  • IDK about anyone else, but I always think Lou Christie is a cutie pie.

  • @58936865233 I agree! He's also quite a good dancer in this vid.

  • @6motion6 Agreed.

  • @58936865233

    He was from my hometown....he was a cutie back in the '60's too.

  • @pghjan1 That's cool, nobody comes from my hometown. Well, except the people that live here :)

  • You said it all Debbie.. Yeah I'm still here and alive..lol

  • Hey Debbie....I'm here! We were the first group on this site....and we still love our Lou!

  • Cromag99......many posts ago donmon posted the MOST hilarious comment....basically he said: "Go clean the rooms!" If you go back, way back, you can see his post! Truly, what is that chick doing in the background?

  • @KathleenWilbeck uh Kathleen That was me crackin about the rythmically challenged maid in the background. Thanks for the props!!

  • yumm

    

  • Is it bad that I mistook his chest hair for an undershirt?

  • @GeddyYeti2112

    I did the same. :D

  • SEXY IS NOT THE WORD FOR THIS MAN! JEEEEZZZ I WANT ONE PLEASE

  • @marileamccowan I'll have what she's having.

  • Austin Powers as pop star.

  • Laughing at all the haters here....LOL....I just found out about this dude Lou Christie...he was one cool dude in his time.....Don't be jealous folks it just makes you a loser......

  • I always loved this song. Why doesn't anyone do anything like this anymore???

  • I was in that same hotel when this video was made. I was in my room w/ some broad from Memphis. Thanks for the memorys.

  • A strong follow-up to Lightning Strikes which was a monster smash for Lou. This is a great video - he's having fun with it nothing phony about it.

  • @bossdowner No, the follow-up to Lightning Strikes was Rhapody In The Rain for MGM records in 1966.

    This was 3 years later when Lou moved on to Buddah records.

  • @CopyrightMMX You're right - but this one had more impact at least in my area Washington D.C.

  • @CopyrightMMX The original title of this song was every trick in the book

  • I'm sorry-I liked Lou. But I just can't get past that chest rug he has.

  • @gotch09 loved the rug!

  • @pjkwatches It throws me off.

  • Pool service people sure make a racket.....sort of enjoyable though.

  • Now I know where Robbie Williams got his inspiration. That and furniture catalogs.

  • Dude was so in touch with his gayness. Danced great, sang from his falsetto place. I love this guy. As a kid he was one of my favs. We just thought he was way cool, and he was/is.

  • @pernicketty Old comment but I looked very much like Lou...I'm half Sicilian. I had the same hairy chest. You would not know it but I experience same sex attraction. I could go for the young Lou because I am in love with my old physical self. Get over here marinello6 and lay a big sloppy one on me. MWAHHH!

  • The backup singers on the actual record were the famous songwriter Ellie Greenwich and early sixties singer Linda Scott (I've told every little star)

  • @PaulSDenton that's gotta be one of the greatest pieces of trivia ever!!!!! seriously. 

  • Lou Christie and Rick Moranis, separated at birth.

  • @dwtime LMFAO! Right on the nose man.......

  • Lou, sexy.

    kisses

    Marina - Curitiba - Brazil

  • Who are those gorgeous chicks with him ?

  • What about Elvis ! he wrote the book on it.

  • Rudakai said..... tell the spastic chick in the background to change the sheets in room 211, and Dompy said to tell the chicks to keep it down....... it's 6 a.m.!

    Old, actually, ancient posts......but truly....the FUNNIEST!

  • Still laughing at donmon's post about the chick in the back! That is a very very old post!

  • This is the first video of Lou I watched on YOU TUBE!

  • @jrzgirl56 I'm jealous! too bad MTV wasn't around then, maybe it would be a better video - but still good enough to hear that wonderful voice & watch that beautiful Lou with his hip hugger bell bottoms & that vest - woohoo love that vest. Yeah, I admit I like hairy chests! lo

  • This video was probably an afterthought... but a nice one at that! Pool or no pool Lou looks good no matter where he is!!! I saw him in NYC at the San Gennaro Feast in Little Italy last September... what a looker!!!!

  • Incredible vocal range, cool relaxed moves and a sexy hairy chest. Only he could have made this song a hit.

  • Look Ma!

    No microphone!

    (Call me, Lou, I'm in the book!)

  • oh. my.God..:)

  • What's with the pool? Why a pool?

  • @p1d1s1

    It's probably the most scenic thing they had available.

  • Hubba Hubbalicious...It's lunch time ;-)

  • this song and viideo is definitely a forerunner of the Music videoes which caught on in the 80's.

  • Phwooah!

    No wonder I ended up gay, watchin pop promos like this when I was 12 !

    Get that hairy chest, those eyes & those lips !

    Yep ~ this still does it for me. Lol.

  • @bootsamou I was about 12-13 when this came out. I loved it, and wanted to be a gogo dancer (but little boys in the country couldn't wear those white boots and sequened mini skirts--but I could dream!!! I, too, still love the song, and approve your inventory. If I could have him for Christmas, I wouldn't ask for anything else!

  • @odovicor

    Yeah matey, I was the same age then.

    But he's not like this now.

    (Whatever happened to those fashions of tight bulging flares & open shirts with hairy chests? Ha !)

  • @bootsamou Alas, I could only set him on a shelf! Do I detect a "Down Under" in your speech? I was in Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland about 5 years ago! Bondi beach on New Year's Day was 109 F. It was "hot" in more ways than one.

  • @odovicor

    No ! I'm a Londoner through & through, as were all my family for centuries.

    Did u mean coz I said "matey" ? Ha! I say that all the time, but it's in a London accent not an Australian one !

  • @bootsamou Have you checked out the vidoe "Are you getting any sunshine" where he's wearing a cowboy hat, woohoo, ride em cowboy ;-)

  • @Mgarguemare

    I just did !

    Ha ! Yep ~ he does it for me all right.

  • A beautiful spring night in the heartlands of Nebraska.....and, Lou makes it all the sweeter!!!!

  • @KathleenWilbeck Sweeter or sweater? I think thats a sleeveless sweater he is wearing isn't it? lol..ok. But is a great song. I don't think i have heard it on an oldies channel in 15 yrs...its a shame.

  • @bombshell42701

    That's funny you should mention never hearing this song on oldies channels. I got into You Tube because about four years ago I heard this song on an oldies channel....knew all the words....... but forgot who sang it! I checked it out on You Tube.....and the rest is history!

  • One of my favorites...

  • lol at their outfits :P

  • Hotel security bounced Lou of the premises because it was only 6am when this party occured.

  • Why is that girl clapping so far away? Or is it a man?

  • @Cromag99 That is so funny, I couldn't figure it out either. Chick/dude clapping in the background?

  • Still can't get past that chest rug.

  • Again... sure the hell beats rap!

  • @fuzzypaws17 that is 100% true. Rap cannot come close to this

  • used to play songs myself sister and brothers every morning before school this was one we played back then so many great memories

  • Whoever persuaded him to do this gig?...............Whoever it was thank you from the bottom of my heart and thanks to you who recorded it oh and thanks for posting.

  • dizzy dance......I hope never go back

  • @im1for5pipes nothing wrong with this music this is when you could understand what they was saying in the song and not yelling anyone can yel and call it a song,

  • @lonelymikey55 Sorry, I love the music only the dance seems to me awkward a bit .

  • @im1for5pipes Lou...moving like THAT!......makes my day.

  • French version by Claude François.

  • This video is like a bad result of a threesome

  • @gizarg35 this is what was called real music back then not the screaming into the mic,

  • Where are they? A motel 6?

  • Everyone seems to love Lou's moves in this vid. I'd dance with him anytime, anywhere! Tall, dark, and HANDSOME!!! And the voice I hear in my sleep. Love ya Lou!

  • Happy Late Birthday Lou..

  • Happy Late Birthday Lou..Your the best

  • Lou is gorgeous! All man. Not one oz. of she/man. Love watching this short,

  • Jersey girls, circa 68.

  • Gay and gorgeous!! love lou!!

  • Happy Birthday Lou! <3

  • Almost a quarter of a million hits on this gem. Way to go Lou! Also, Hi to Kathleen Wilbeck.

  • Lou Christie and the Pivots...............

  • lou christie ur my baby

  • These were the great days of music!

  • OK Debbie.....just got back from nine days in Cancun!!!! Still nothing there as HOT as Lou Christie!!! Yeeehaaa!!!!

  • the "hook" is alluring & sensual without being anywhere near vulgar...it's a catchy tune !

  • Dam those girls are hot! And what about Lou.........Chest to Chest would be "Fine"...

  • WOW!! SUCH A HANDSOME GUY!! LOL

  • WOW!!

  • Unearthed gem. Thank you for posting this.

  • It's funny, for the longest time, I never went to u-tube, but over the past 6 months, after a co-worker tld me about this, I went to see for myself, ever since I have been blown away. Now I look up all the artist from my time, 60's and get to see video's I never saw here in Canada. You's who put this on here, congrats to all of you's. WOW!! the memories they bring back. Time Warp...hahaha

  • Love Lou.He will never loose his looks body or voice. Got to love him.

  • lol, what a mook :)

  • Had the chance (thanks to an over-zealous boss who "volunteered" us!) to dance with him on stage-circa '83. I didn't really know who he was, I was only 21 but my boss was 18 years older & DID know! HAD I SEEN this video B4 that night, I would have jumped up on stage willingly! Lou was 40 then & lemme' tell ya' girls... his HIPS did NOT LIE! I think I lost my virginity that night & didn't know it! :D (P.S. I'm 48 now & I'm digging this video! Even the hair-shirt which I don't usually go for!)

  • @mhaire639

    Lucky you!

    

  • @mhaire639 I just LOVE your comment! I love Lou...and I agree with what you said. WOW....you are so lucky to dance with Lou. And oh, yes....THOSE HIPS!!

  • i agree with "someguywithabeard" mmmm is he still this hot now? woooo hoo

  • @ponkaton1 He still is VERY hot. So handsome...and cute!

  • I love this song but I love the rug on his chest even more. Lou..who knew? This was the first 45rpm I ever bought (and I still have it). This is the longest crush on someone I ever had.

  • This is still one of the greatest videos ever. Way to go Lou!

  • This video still can't be beat. It is a true classic.

  • Isn't that Andy Kim?

  • Oh yes.......he's still very GROOVY!!!

  • Great performer, saw him in Montgomery at Big Bam shows in the 60's.

  • I have read that he is compared to Frankie Valli and that Frankie was the first one on the scene with being to change to the Falsetto, I was very young, about 8 when I first heard Lou Christie and Frankie. I think Lou Christie is much better!

  • Wow-eeeee. Just keeps getting better. Perfect Lou.

  • CAN YOU DIG IT !!!

  • @knightsbb yes!

  • September 23rd.....in the GREAT PLAINS OF THE USA......watching the full moon and Jupiter "dance" across the eastern sky at midnight.......Lou is right up there with the SKY SHOW!!!!! The autumnal equinox has nothing on our Lou!

  • Whew, he's got the moves! Must be that Italian blood, there weren't many popstars who could move so sensually back then :)

  • @CBeatgirl AGREE---100%--He's Mister Sexy!

  • @LousFool Yes!! I've only recently discovered Lou (properly), and WOW, what an underrated jewel! He's brilliant. And very different compared to the other artists of his era. Sexiness, too!! I'm very 'energetically-sensitive' - I can sense energies and suchlike (if you know what that means) and as soon as I saw this video it was like I'd been set on fire. You can hardly even see him properly, his moves aren't even shown that much .. but man - the sensual and sexual energy he has is magnificent!!

  • @CBeatgirl Oh yeah...Lou sets me on fire too! The video quality is poor, but I can see Mr Sexy well enough! Love the hip movements!! That alone is a four-alarm blaze!

  • @CBeatgirl Its so true. He is just loaded with sex appeal. Seems to be something you are either born with or not.....

  • Lou--you are STILL number 1 to me. Your talent and personality mean so much. Love you always, Babe...........

  • I love the styles that women wore in those days! They looked so hot in those tight pants and mini skirts and don't forget the hot pants!! If only I wasn't a little kid back then. I would have made it with hundreds of women! 

  • Tavares couldn't have said it any better, "Heaven must be missing an Angel" Lou you are my "Shy Angel Boy" with such a sexy body and that oh so devilish grin.

  • Hi Dompy!

    Yep, I DO have a warped sense of humor......and yours is still the best post ever!

  • @KathleenWilbeck Stopped in to watch this again, Keep smiling love! The world needs more laughter!

  • Now wearing all that "fur" would be politically incorrect and he would be under attack by PETA

  • @beentheredonethatb4 Oh no....the "fur" stays. On Lou, it's great!

  • WOW! Great video.

  • I can't help myself....I LOVE this video!! Reminds me of all the boys I had crushes on back in the day!

  • OMG, Lou was on (live) today on the cousin Brucie show and they showed him this very video and he admits that he does go in Youtube now and then and reads what we write (sighhhhhh!!!!) Lou, I love YOU, Keep Rockin' keep rollin' you are the best.

  • Still one of the best videos around. I just had to stop by and visit it again. Also, hello Kathleen Wilbeck!

  • @MrBillTaylor I think the Beyond The Blue Horizon is one of the most beautiful videos.

  • Hey Girls! Let's Do the WASHING MACHINE!!!

  • doesn't lou look like tim robbins

  • Comment removed

  • @Mgarguemare Lou Ferrigno a bit; but Tim Robbins - heavens, no.

  • Comment removed

  • @SunshineSuperman0999 He does, come to think of it!

  • Lou- you'll always be SUPER-FINE!!!

  • Saturday night in Nebraska....stars shining......just like our Lou!

  • Another great one by Lou Christie!

    And Debbie Davis was FINE. Never knew her name until just now. I loved that look, kinda like Ronnie Spector (and my first wife, too, also RIP). And Loretta Lynn, who was really, really fine back in those days, and still is. Sometimes, I'm still locked in those 60's go-go dance days! Sure as hell beats what we have today!

  • The girl on the right has such a cute smile

  • Friday night.....still lovin' our Lou!

  • ME ENCANTA

  • Lou and this song are still boss.

  • he was so sexy furry little guy  did he have a gf/bf certinly was not leslie gore lol

  • alot of taco meat comming out his chest.n

  • "Yes, I'd like to go back in time for a little while so that I can place my order for a Coke, fries, and that young lady up there on the far left! To go!"

  • Hey! What happened to the beginning of this song?

  • "100%" Great post after all these years... : )

  • I love the song's sentiment ...... If you read these posts Lou, you are not forgotten!

  • This is 4 yrs ago.

  • i love the way he moves i wish i had known guys how could move like that.......
