"Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight" - The Clingers (1969)

[slash177]

I can't believe how many classic rock era bands I am still discovering. It is hard to believe they weren't a big hit. Can anybody tells us what they are doing now? I know that Peggy passed away in 1975 according to a website. RIP Peggy and these chicks rocked!

[blonde7000]

any relation to the klingons only joking never heard of these before nice looking girls

[11Kralle]

The song is called `Good times´

[smchahanovich]

cool....

[Ugnaught09]

I consider Debra as one of the most beautiful women I´ve ever seen in my life along with Catherine Bach and Linda Carter. Her beauty is unique. I´m 35 but I´ve seen videos on you tube where she appears, e.g., The Krofft Show and she was really beautiful. I love you Debra I´m still in love with you. You were, are and will always be my platonic love.

[coolluv]

They remind me of The Carrie Nations.

[SuperJohnnykay]

How did these girls get hold of this Australian/Easybeats song,I wonder?? They are OK, but you need to listen to the original.Also Jimmy Barnes and Michael Hutchence did a good job a few yrs later.

[1tjhiphop]

Debra is my mom! She is the one that is playing base

[glenlyons98]

@1tjhiphop - thanks. You are the first child of a Clinger that has commented whereas there have been no less than five nephews/nieces had a word to say below. Plus there's been a comment from someone whose sister's best friend had a Clinger for an aunt. Good on yer...

[Officegirl66]

@1tjhiphop

Tell your mom there are still Clinger fans out there!!

[m7a7b725]

@1tjhiphop This is before she was Superchick on the Krofft Supershow. Amazing! And speaking of that show, I have plenty of episodes. Come to my channel and check it out!

[HailyTheEscapist]

@1tjhiphop tell her that their singer wasn´t very talented.

[11Kralle]

@1tjhiphop

Your mother rocks! I hope she is well a makes still music!

[JuneEsWorld]

Kim Fowley and four Mormon sisters? A karmic traffic jam if ever there was one.

Hey, I like them! Great vocals.

June

[fredthejunkman]

This is the first time I've ever seen or heard of the Clingers....they weren't that good.

[glenlyons98]

@fredthejunkman - Kim Fowley thought they were good...

[raddratt53]

thats deb clinger (super chick) from kaptian kool and the kongs

[genericgeorge]

I like the bass player with the hofner. She's the cutest

[2010WULF]

love all the old girl groups FANNY BIRTHA ... THENNNNNNNNNN THE RUNWAYS

[MutterErde]

Well, the original by the Easybeats was great, but this version is very very very charming. Thanks, girls (and uploader)

[HonkIfYouLoveHonking]

They should have come up with a better name for themselves than "The Clingers" or "The Clinger Sisters".

[dmied1]

the original by the easy beats smokes the shit out of this remake, seriously it just seems so much better on every level (except for the hot chick bit)

[mrcross2020]

Super-talented and smoking hot.... nuff said!

[tiptoncathcart]

Hell! get me outta here. Bog!

[owossodude22]

yhis is crap compared to the EasyBeats

[superfink99]

yes please

[TheFacelessK]

reminds me of a rock and roll version of x kinda like the runaways or the go-gos

[TheFacelessK]

where "the eyes" produced by Fowley too?

[governorgilf]

I don't see why this group is virtually unheard of, yet everyone thinks Janis Joplin was so great. Janis ain't got nothin' on these gals!

[laro816]

the original girl band!!!! 1969 - i was 14. love it!!

[supercrevolution]

JIMMY BARNES!

[davidfurgess1961]

this is so bad it's good, the easybeats must have been reeling!

[moluvsage]

They were on the Smothers brothers show from time to time.

[hogcontroller]

How could anyone turn this song into such a stiff/turgid exhibition?

[rsmko]

T O M M Y S M O B R O

[READWOOOOO]

Am I the only one that noticed the dude in the wig at 0:29 ???

[Jenniferkate]

I think that's Tommy Smothers mugging at the camera.

[BigBeatKoto90]

@READWOOOOO No you're not. I think that dude is playing organ..

[RSG2006]

@READWOOOOO Why would you think you were the only one to notice that?

[revup67]

Is that Judy from Lost In Space on guitar? :)

[Khultan]

I'll take 60s music over disco and rap and so called punk rock , for the most part, ANYTIME.

[Khultan]

Alright!! I was just a baby boy way back when and never heard of them until now!! Ha ha ha [cheeky]

[jokertwin1]

this is my sisters best freinds aunts

[yhwh1]

I used to have a crush on debra Clinger when she was a part of Sid & Marty Krofft's Kaptain Kool & The Kongs. I also watched the episode of The Smothers Brothers that they were supposed to be on but they cut it out.

[lynny4949]

they are all just living their lives... lol...

they all have families hahaha..

i dont really know what else to say?

[1957stude]

They are not my aunts! I wish they were though.

I wonder what they are currently doing?

Can these nieces at least let us know what their aunts are up to??

[TheChoofy1]

Didn't they do a hot version of "Rock me" on the Smothers brothers show?

[Espuma78]

Peggy was my Aunt too.

[glenlyons98]

Exactly how many people have the Clinger sisters as aunts???

[DeccaQuinne]

@glenlyons98 If they're Mormons - probably hundreds.

[Baskerville22]

@DeccaQuinne  :)

[manuellopez1956]

YouTube community never ceases to amaze me!

It's always giving, giving, giving. Thank u 4 this nugget.

[lynny4949]

yes, they are from orem utah :)

my aunts :)

[moyoung8279]

met them in LA and got to know Melody.

[picandroll]

I remember them, did they come from Orem?

[goddamnit666666]

me too kenvail, this one is new to me too

[sreafea]

which one is peggy clinger?

[chelash1n1]

peggy is the main singer. she was my aunt.

[lynny4949]

peggy is the singer.. they're my aunts haha

[chelash1n1]

the lead singer is peggy clinger. shes my aunt :)

[sreafea]

who's that man at 0:30?

[glenlyons98]

That's Tommy Smothers, the loony half of the Smothers Brothers who were a Canadian comedy duo. They ended up with their own TV show and made a point of having on good quality bands. The fact that The Clingers consisted of four attractive girls also probably helped a bit.

[HonkIfYouLoveHonking]

@glenlyons98 Are you sure The Smothers Brothers were Canadian?

I am positive that they are not. And how can anyone have not heard of them before? like you seem to think "sreafea" hasn't.

[MikeBlitzMag]

@glenlyons98 The Smothers Brothers are not Canadian. They were born in New York and have lived in California for most of their lives.

[MarkCox73]

@glenlyons98 HILARIOUS!! I watched the video like 10 times before I noticed. Our band is going to cover this song. But more in the Easy Beats style

[chelash1n1]

i weird guy that just put his face in it. idk

[lynny4949]

my auntsss :)

[glenlyons98]

You should tell your aunts that their 5 minutes of fame lives on in Australia - the Easybeats song they covered is iconic and their '60s garage rock credentials are highly regarded. They should reform and tour Down Under!

[dragomir9p]

How COOL is that!!!!

[chelash1n1]

they're my aunts too..

no way?! about the austrailia thing??

[KENVAIL]

as much as i am into 60's garage rock, i wasn't aware of this one.
