[ttesoro]

This is lip synch. It´s the original recordings, only video is live, not sound.

[tellarjj]

[ttesoro]

[CrankCase08]

Oh dear, they forgot to plug their guitars in.

[Mortthemoose]

Excellent

"This was Radio Carolines, answer to the ignoramouse."

[youvexme]

wonder what song the audience is clapping in time with..

Great song btw. The Blue Jeans' original version of Hippy Hippy Shake..

[SOULINTEGRITY]

Yes but they didnt do it first :)

[youvexme]

No, that would be Chan Romero!

[SOULINTEGRITY]

Correct :)

[RevolverAnthology]

This is mimed, it is obvious to any muso and keen 60's fan

[MrPauldonnelly]

I know the guy that now owns Ray's original Strat.

[Chimbo65]

@MrPauldonnelly

I thought that Ray always played Gibson ?

[Cronkite2008]

Thanks Chimbo65 for your info. Is it true, tho, that the Swinging Blue Jeans had their hit with Hippy Hippy Shake b4 the Beatles did?

[Chimbo65]

Well yes you are right.

Paul McCartney suggested that the Jeans

did "Hippy Hippy Shake" because Paul thought it went down so well at The Cavern. The Beatles only did it on BBC

never on a "real" record.

[ArleneBikerQueen]

Of all the British Invasion bands the Swinging Blue Jeans were probably the most accomplished musicians!

As fate would have it, they turned down an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show honouring a previous commitment to tour Sweden!

Talk about misplaced priorities or perhaps integrity?!

[Chimbo65]

The Swinging Blue Jeans had a signed contract for a tour in Scandinavia,so it was too late to say yes to a tour of America.

I have known them since 1980,so

do not doubt it.

[iowa61]

Highest compliment: These guys rock!

[gbluesrocker]

i see, thanks for that!

[gbluesrocker]

did thease guys right hippy shake or was it the beatles?

[stratman123]

Chan Romero wrote it in 1958 and had a hit with it in 1959. That's how the Beatles heard it. These guys took it to #1 all over Europe in 1964.

[Cronkite2008]

Neither. Do not know who did. Do know this band released their version first.

[Chimbo65]

Oh no.

Hippy Hippy Shake was written by Chan Romero who had hit with it first.

But the Jeans had an even bigger hit

with it,along with four other songs.

"Fine Fanny" @ 1:21-1:23!!!

[episua]

Great band, very underrated. They also played in Hamburger at the same time the Beatles were there.
