T- Bones "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's in)- 1966

[purga60]

these guys became hamilton joe frank and reynolds

so look them up

[ChasBeauregarde]

I suddenly feel like doing the Pony or the Jerk



[38ddkelly]

Gotta love those hokey backdrops Hullabaloo always used, trying to capture the theme of the song title or band's name. And the girls usually having to stand frozen for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes? I couldn't have done it....I would have smiled or made a face.

[bearnurse1]

Are those guys adorable? or what?

[capitolemiproducer]

Lets give credit to the real T-Bones:Members of the Wrecking Crew. The W/C members were hired by Joe Saraceno after he heard The Shape song on the Alka Seltzer commercial. After it hit big, like the Marketts, he hired people of the street to be a "Ghost Band My source: The wrecking Crew Rockumentary

[nats081020]

These guys were really part of "The wrecking Crew" a group of studio musicians that did "alot" of the rock & roll songs.

[bearnurse1]

Those guys are just SOOOOOOO cute!

[325v64]

Damn I forgot these guys used MOSRITES!!!! LOVE IT!!!

[hkyoutoob]

@325v64 Agree, two guitarists, and the bassist, too cool! Also, Lee Dorman, and Erik Brann of IB used them. They were also popular with the surf sound, and, were quite expensive at the time. However, they did not turn out to be real useable and playabe classics from the 60's era, as did, for example, the Strat, Tele, and several Gibson models did.

[325v64]

@hkyoutoob I wanted a Mosrite and a Rick so bad back in the day. I put much play time on the Ricks, but I haven't picked up a Mosrite in awhile. Johnny Ramone got the Mosrite Venture II some notoriety 1-2 decades later, but to me that parallel pickup is FUGLY. Thanks again!

[Johng10000]

on this recording was it Hal Blaine or Earl Palmer on drums?

[capitolemiproducer]

@Johng10000 Hal

[interceptor2001]

Does anyone know the name of the show? I'm curious at the butcher shop theme.

[BobbyColePopMusic]

@interceptor2001

Hullabaloo

[MACJO63]

Interesting how the Drummer has the forefront here. Reminds me of The Dave Clark Five, Dave sat in the front as well. Great clip! Love this song....:)

[IAMMRSTEVE]

Judd Hamilton is still living on!!! Unfortunately Dan Hamilton passed on about 20 years ago:(

[1BlubeTube]

I love this song.

[MrFacebookhater]

Look at the smile of those guys! You don't see that type of happiness in todays youth!

Very Sad!

[MrFacebookhater]

Wow...... How simple and nice things used to be!

Sadly We have forgotten how to have fun just like that......

[myshinywagon]

How come you never see Mosrite guitars anymore? They looked nicer than the Fenders....

[chrisradano]

Fun song!!

[mlkemper]

if hal blaine .then tommy tedesco was on guitar ...judd and danny hamilton ..danny now deceased ..wrote diamond head and war of the satelites for the Ventures ..i never understood why Liberty needed 2 instrumental bands as .the Ventures were selling over 25% of all of Liberty Records ..

[JOEP123ful]

H,JF&R WERE IN THIS SONG... HAL BLAINE WAS THE DRUMMER. IF YOU E-MAIL HAL BLAINE, I'M SURE HE COULD TELL YOU WHO WAS IN THE STUDIO THE DAY WHEN THIS TUNE WAS RECORDED

[chilirich]

Dude I have had this in the back of my mind all my life. Thanks for the post

[expluto51]

They're only pretending to play the tune. The actual recording was by studio musicians, most notably, Glen Campbell!

[venturesagogo]

Outstanding Video Footage!!

Awesome Ventures Modle Mosrite Guitars!!

Love It!! THUMB'S UP!!

[TheMidnightOriginal]

this group turned into hamilton, joe, frank and reynolds in the 1970's with two hits my favorite favorite song was fallin' in love from 1975 i like this one too!!!

[ctaesque]

LOVE those Mosrite Ventures Signature Model guitars!!! Worth crazy money nowadays.

[jln55]

This must have been on Hullabaloo.

[cbalducc]

Guitarist Dan Hamilton died in 1993.

[cbalducc]

A later member of the T-Bones was Leland, Mississippi native Joe Frank Carollo. I don't know if he is featured in this clip. I live "up Highway 61" from Carollo's hometown.

[keca1430]

Didn't this band later become Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds??

[BobbyColePopMusic]

@keca1430

Not the whole band, I think maybe 2 guys.

[mrshjfandr]

@keca1430

Basically yes, Dan Hamilton, Tom Reynolds and Joe Frank

[yandrsupreme]

@keca1430 Everyone on stage here became Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds, except the drummer.

[MelosAntropon]

Love the matched Mosrites!

[MikeBlitzMag]

Actually this single is from November 1965. The flip side (Feelin' Fine) is just as good, as is the entire Liberty album that contained this single.

[superallye]

Now me wish I was a teenager in the 60's ;(

[superallye]

Man, those women are uber pretty specially the one @ 0:43 I wonder if it's the make-up or their actual physique but I don't see women that pretty today!

[sphmusak]

@superallye you dont see women like that anymore because women today are fat, selfish and ugly.

[elvis4all]

The bass player, I believe, is Tom Reynolds. He lives near Orlando now, makes steel drums, puts out tropical island-style CDs, and plays steel drums at local functions. His gold record sits on his desk.

[internationalgiant]

awesome!  totally 60s!

[BobbyColePopMusic]

I believe his name is Judd Hamilton

[sphmusak]

Thank you. Do you by any chance know what became of him?

[BobbyColePopMusic]

He runs a few corporations in Oregon. He's not in the music business..

[crimsonrush]

@BobbyColePopMusic I met Judd in the late 80s in London. A very nice guy indeed.

[pppanda3]

@BobbyColePopMusic not judd hamilton, it was his brother dan hamilton even though Judd was a founding member. PEACE OUT AND ROCK ON!!!

[sphmusak]

Thanks so much for posting this great song. Does anyone know the name of the guitar player on the left side in front of the meat case? Not the bass player, but the rythym guitar player....

[doglips1958]

Happenings also had I Got Rhythm and Go Away Little Girl

[doglips1958]

The Vogues are who I was talking about.

[BCK]

Mosrites, yeah buddy!

[SounzNice]

Excellent find! Thanks!

[us71]

Hard to tell if they are actually playing here or pantoming to the music.

[88cutty]

It was a tape !

[us71]

Doesn't surprise me.

[lisaatlive]

I thing this is a classic piece of Sixties kitsch which reminds us of other one-shot classics like The Vogues "Magic Town" and The Happenings " See You in September"

[88cutty]

The Vogues had MANY hits,how about You're The One or Five Oclock World ?

[doglips1958]

YES!!They had 8 top 40 hits,4 top tenners,and 14 top 100s!!!!!

[9630gir]

This group later decided to rename itself and to start singing.... They were best known as Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds... Their best songs, "Fallin' In Love," "Don't Pull Your Love."

[mrshjfandr]

9630gir  Actually, only one of these guys went on to become Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, and that is Dan Hamilton. NONE of these other guys were in that group.

[RockbertoRocks]

When music WAS MUSIC!!

[videogeekin]

According to Wikipedia : record Producer Joe Sareceno lifted this the Alka Seltzer tv jingle tune..and extended it in to a full 3 min. song!

[ftsjr]

An awesome song! Such a simple melody, turned into a tune that has mid-60's written all over it. I never tire of hearing it.

[ranran19701]

This song actually started out as a jingle for an Alka Seltzer commercial, turned into a pop classic by Joe Saraceno, (also the producer of The Ventures for a long time).

[ftsjr]

@ranran19701 I remember seeing the commercial, as a child, when everyone still had black & white TV sets.
