  • Classic song and dance

  • man I loved her and this song

    wow memories

  • Is it me or did most of these motown/60's era song have the same beat?

  • I was about 9 or 10 years old when I first heard and danced to this song. I still dance to this awesome song/memory.

    Touche!!!!

  • The Monster Mash! Mash Potatoe!

  • i love this song:)

  • the orlons sang back uo on Dee Dee Sharp Mashed Potatoes Time

  • this sounds exactly like mr postman... :/

    i'm kind of into 60s music at the moment, but one thing i find annoying is that a lot of the songs from the same artist sound very similar

  • @Craskar there's truth in that statement I think the writers felt they got lucky with one song so we'll try it again with a few minor changes True That

  • Help! Does anyone have some favorite dance tunes? Trying to put an oldie but newbie party together-

  • @jodyswift11 Well, if you mean ones that feature a particular dance, there's The Bristol Stomp, Do The Continental, The Dog, The Twist, The Locomotion.... Here's a link that should help you get started - the60sofficialsite[DOT]com/Dan­ce_Crazes_of_the_60s - just replace [DOT] with a period.

  • @jodyswift11 "(Do The) Push And Pull" by Rufus Thomas is a winner!

  • @jodyswift11 "Baby Workout" - Jackie Wilson

  • Love to dance with this music!

  • I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.

    Some of my fondest memories are when we were dancing.

  • Honestly, in terms of how old music like this sounded (focusing on the rhythm and tune), this is what I love, unlike music nowadays. :)

  • great song thank's

  • I was surprised when one of my friends actually new this song...

    And then she told me it was in 'Just Dance'....

  • @packardcaribien Just Dance? Is that a movie?

  • @John1948ThreeC

    No, not a movie. It's a dancing based video game for the Nintendo Wii. It has around 30 songs (this being the oldest) all with specific dance moves you make in time with them. This one is particularly fun to dance to.

  • @John1948ThreeC I think they mean it was in Just Dance The Game

  • @John1948ThreeC No , its a video game , is a how-to dance tutos

  • @John1948ThreeC Nope, a video game for the Wii. :)

  • I Love this Song,it is so cool,thank you for posting it

  • two people don't like Mashed Potato lol xD

  • This song remids me of my boy TJ. He was one of the fastest sprinters in the state at age 16, I was honored to run a leg on his 440 yd race on his team He loved this song TJ was killed in Vietnam.

  • White people dancing....

  • A Top 5 hit for Dee Dee Sharp in the spring of 1962. It hit #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts. Her biggest hit.

  • She must really LOVE Mashed Potatoes Xd (:

  • my paraket likes it

  • @john1948threec Thanks much for posting these soulful Dee Dee gems...It's so nice to remember a time when the music was fun and life was carefree.

  • Motown sued Cameo-Parkway because the company thought this song was a little too similar to "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes. As a result, Jobete, Motown's publishing company, and the writers of "Postman" also make money off of this song.

  • @hughesjr

    While I like both songs, I actually would listen to Mashed Potato Time over Mr. Postman. Something about Dee Dee Sharp's voice :). I actually have the album pictured above when the song starts. It's great!!

  • @hughesjr Just the sound of her voice gives me an erection!

  • Those were the days this was one of the first records I bought back then the record stores would have hundreds of releases available but by the late 60s the LP took over there were still record stores in black neigborthoods that had a lot of 45s but not like the heyday that ended in the mid 60s at least in my area in around the Bronx I believe Dee Dee went out with Muhamad Ali but couldn't take the black muslims sense of women being so prim and demure Anyway great song still love it

  • Sister Act..

  • @voiceofelijah2012 That song was Gravy, the follow up to Mashed Potato Time.

  • Me and Tony first started going to the Youth Center in Seaside to learn how to dance. This was one of the those first songs...what fun. It was all because of our mom who encouraged us to go. Thanks, Mom.

  • Show me ANYONE who can sit still while this one is playing!!!
