Gets harder to hit high notes when you reach that age. Happens to everyone. Lead singers of Iron Maiden and The Who have trouble reaching the notes in their own songs now. Fine by me as long as they still give a good show, but at these ages a band would have to be in the Rolling Stones vein to have the kind of songs and stamina required to really rock it onstage.
53rd birthday this year. My uncle and dad have been singing this song to me as long as I can remember. It always made me feel so special. Wonderful to finally see the artists singing it live. Much better sound than the version I've been hearing all of these years. Love it!
@sammiepatches That's Mike Zero.. but you can see he's lip syncing.. but, not for the reason of not trying.. he's being a filler for the missing member, and perhaps he forgot the words..
calihartley2010 Your concern is touching but I am not in any kind of pain. Rock'n'Roll & Doo-Wop music, like this song will cure heartache,sorrow & broken hearts, failing that, have a go at surfing(hence my Longboarder name) it can change your life & make you feel born again! I love the comments on this page! It's my favourite on YT, Take care.
@SkidRowJosephine I am assuming you are not that age, Yet. I think they look and sound great. Wait untill you get to be that age, if you make it that far, and see how you feel.
It's too late they're already here! The UK is being flooded by people from third world countries flocking here to live on welfare /benefits & obtain free health care. Ironically , most people who live on benefits are actually better off than those who work for a living, that's why we have so much trouble with ethnic minorities. We must not bring politics into music! cgemout1 is right, let's just listen to & enjoy the music,
Hey Hey , whats all this Libtard, troglodyte talk. Its just a song to be enjoyed, not to scratch each others eyes out about anything. Chillout and enjoy!
@JDWnSRV Oh yeah, it may seem like that to you, but if you open your eyes and see and when reality bites your butt, then we will see who will be whimpering like an neanderthal. Now go smoke a joint and shut up.
@calihartley2010 i also respect you're right to express your views on you tune and let some of the youngsters get a sense of how a guy that stands by his convictions can enjoy life and fun music . liberals are the most uptight people when you disagree with them. a conservative will try to reason libs just shout tirades most are the fakest nerdiest people around.. the sister of that little nerd that started face book wants to censure it. that just tells me little libtard .lol
@1986billyk yeah, libs are all baout if you do not accept their views, then you must be a racist. That is the only weapon they have. I agree, atleast with conservative you can have an honest argument and then decide if they are right or wrong. Liberals just shout in your face and slam the door. Moreover, they are all for helping others from afar, but when someone comes to their door, they just slam it shut.
@calihartley2010 yeah i think most of their (liberals) parents were racists or queers because they are so over the top with paranoid political correctness. they were never really the cool kids in school. look at clinton a fat-boy nerd in school and the same for obama another egg head chess club pres.lol the only people that think they are cool is other nerds.unfotunatley america is full of em.oh im sorry am i cyber bullying ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ get a life PC libtard faggots lol.
@1986billyk Well I am glad that you are on the conservative side. However you should not act like them by calling them names. That is what liberals resort to when they are cornered. Conservatives have more class. Please refrain from your name calling. Please remain conservative and classy.
calihartley2010 As much as I agree with you, regrettably, I cannot see standards reverting to how they once were. We all saw film footage of Muslims, including children, cheering, jumping for joy after the aftermath of 9/11. What sort of a God/religion says unless you all follow Allah, we will kill or murder you? It defies belief? In the UK I could face charges of inciting racial hatred for saying things like this, so let's just enjoy the songs that we like, no matter the colour of the artistes.
@longboarder771 Well then show that you mean business and standup for what you believe in. You are just being patriotic. I believe that the UK government must not let in muslims.
@longboarder771 Wow, I never saw your comment until now. Thank you and I would be honored to get your vote. Thank God for people like you who still believe that the world 50 years ago was a great place and not some libtards who try and make it look like it was bleak because of racism. That is the only thing that they hold onto to make the golden era in the US look hopeless. Other than that they have nothing else on this beautiful era. Long live the US and this golden era. 1776-1965
@calihartley2010 As much as I would like to, I would be unable to vote for you as I live in the UK, & I am not too sure what a libtard is? But put me down as being for you & being on your side. This wasn.t a hit over here, but the Blondie/Debbie Harry cover version became a hit in 1978, but I prefer the original, I just love it & never get tired of listening to it. Do Politics & music go together? somehow I doubt it? I'll just vote on the music.
@longboarder771 Wheter you vote on music or in politics, I am sure you will vote right. I do not like the blondie version but like randy's version. Nothing can beat that. Libtard is liberal+retard. So it is an american thing. Liberals are ruining the US and UK. I am sure bad things are happening in the UK too. I am in the US and i do fear for the Uk because of the muslims there. I hope we can help our countries get rid of the bad apples and go back to our old values and prosper once again.
@partymonsterri Well maybe not as liberal as the libtards out there. I am sure when he made his song in 1962, he must've been very much an average all american boy who loved this country. It takes more than just one liberal to do bad stuff.
@calihartley2010 As a proud Liberal I truly resent being called a "Libtard"... At least I'm not calling you childish names, you Right Wing troglodyte! < Not at all childish
@Shoknifeman well if you are liberal then you must try the conservative side. It is more fun. Then why did you call me childish names when you resented being called a libtard. Shows where your principles lie.
@calihartley2010 Well, since when do children use the word troglodyte? ;) Anyway, I just wanted to give you a little taste of your own medecine. As for joining the conservative side; I prefer to be on the side that believes that everyone deserves a little happiness, not just those who get rich on the backs of others.
@Shoknifeman wow you are way off man. Conservatives believe in rewarding a person for his hard work. Only liberals or if you prefer libtards believe that people need to give their money to bums who walk with their pants down and do not do anything in life. I see that you are in the wrong party. Maybe it is not too late to shift.
@calihartley2010 BS, my parents almost worked themselves to death for 30 years, only to have the free trader conservatives who ran the factory shut down their plant and send their jobs to Egypt and steal their pension fund to pay off creditors. Conservatives think a jobless economy is fine, so long as the rich make their huge dividends and get their tax loopholes... anyway, theres NO way I would ever join the Cons.
@Shoknifeman Well you are from canada, so why are you trying to act like a US citizen and trying to make your views know. Go and fight with your fellow canadians. As for your parents, i am sorry about that, but big corporations are greedy and they need to be penalized.
@ladyvee7110 Ofocirse we enjoy this song. We were merely arguing about the differences in politics and music, then and now. Well politics does infuence the trash we hear now and the godd stuff we used to hear before.
@calihartley2010 you have a great feel for what is beautiful about ancient american life.... full of optimism and blue skys. i think we hit a momentary bump in the road cause people took advantage of our giving friendly nature. this crisis will make us better and we will come out on top. to be blunt we americans are the nicest, funest ,most generous on the planet and everyone would do well to emulate our ways. that is why god blessed us cause we want to help people first instead of gloating.

Every time someone says their name is "Denise," my friend says; "Shoo-be-doo" right after they say their name. It's automatic...and funny if you're there.
I'm a big Beatles fan but I loved doo wop as well and to me Randy and The Rainbows and this song in particular are the demarcation line between doo wop ant the British sound. Still love this song.
@thecountofbasie I have noticed. A lot of the songs on my playlists were erased because of copyright infringements. When I tried to delete the ones that were missing I finally gave up because it was too hard to lose so many great songs. I.E. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is nearly gone from youtube.
You lucky dog! How did you get the invite to go?? I would have loved to have been there, too. I live in Connecticut, but I would have driven to Pittsburgh for that! This music is the still the BEST!!
Definately one of my top ten favorites! Can't listen to these guys enough . Love all their songs but this has always been my favorite. Love their harmonies and grat performers in live shows!!!!!
The only Denise I ever dated had red eyes,prolly cause she drank so much.....Hell,she had to drink a lot to go out with me.OK,Seriously one of my favorite all time doowop songs,these guys had a lot of great doowop songs that didnt chart......only God knows why,they had a great sound.
Actually, Fred Silverman (executive in charge of children's programming for the CBS network at the time) was inspired by Frank Sinatra's scat "doo-be-doo-be-doo" he heard at the end of Bert Kaempfert's song "Strangers in the Night" on the way out one of their pre-production meetings, and decided to the dog in the series "Scooby-Doo" and call the show Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
Nice to be able to visit youtube and find videos like this! Always loved this song and others with doowop styles. Got a great beat and can dance to it! Oh, and nice, singing and accompaniment--everything in tune!
@ElephantDrunk yes, you are right. people were thinner and healthier.They were also hopeful about the future. Today's people are so fat, unheatlthy, badly dressed and crazy. They only like music which cannot be called music but CRAP. The food is bad, kids do not play outside but only on the computer and everyone has to give into minorities and thier crazy demands. How things have changed because of the libtards. Blame them for all the world's problems.
On Ron Smith's Oldies board there is a debate right now about whether they are singing "dooby doo", "shooby doo" or "scooby doo"" I hear "dooby doo." What say you?
Thank you. My dad was one of the background singers in the original recording, that's how I know it's not "scooby doo." And they just released a new CD (or getting ready to), I've got the CD my dad gave me so I'm not even sure it's officially out yet.
The vocals are terrific, but the moronic disco drum beat entirely destroys the mood. Thanks and congrats to the singers, and a pile of turds to the drummer.
The first time I ever heard this song (actually I think it was well after the fact in '72) I had a raging crush on a girl named Denise...I bought a copy at an oldies store...she loved it when I played it for her...but sadly nothing came of it...still great memories and a great song
Fantastic song and group. A great sound. I only wish Randy could do the high falsetto parts, like he used to. The guy with the mustache does a great job.
I LOVE this AND the Blondi version... why does it have to be either/or...They're both great in their own way. I am thrilled when groups like Blondi and even GunsNRoses reference the classics! Introduces the new kids to the good stuff. Thanks!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Actaully you are wrong. The origianl was actaully in French. Both Randy and The Rainbow s and Blondie covered it. Blondie's version was more successful because of Deborah Harry's sexaul appeal. This became their first big hit in French countrries because Harry added a French verse.
I like both versions because its really about a differnt person. One song is for a girl the other is for a boy.....
@skidrowjosephine

Actually, "Denise" was written by Neil Levenson, and was inspired by his childhood friend, Denice Lefrak.

Actually, Fred Silverman (executive in charge of children's programming for the CBS network at the time) was inspired by Frank Sinatra's scat "doo-be-doo-be-doo" he heard at the end of Bert Kaempfert's song "Strangers in the Night" on the way out one of their pre-production meetings, and decided to the dog in the series "Scooby-Doo" and call the show Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

@ElephantDrunk yes, you are right. people were thinner and healthier.They were also hopeful about the future. Today's people are so fat, unheatlthy, badly dressed and crazy. They only like music which cannot be called music but CRAP. The food is bad, kids do not play outside but only on the computer and everyone has to give into minorities and thier crazy demands. How things have changed because of the libtards. Blame them for all the world's problems.

Thank you. My dad was one of the background singers in the original recording, that's how I know it's not "scooby doo." And they just released a new CD (or getting ready to), I've got the CD my dad gave me so I'm not even sure it's officially out yet.

The first time I ever heard this song (actually I think it was well after the fact in '72) I had a raging crush on a girl named Denise...I bought a copy at an oldies store...she loved it when I played it for her...but sadly nothing came of it...still great memories and a great song

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Actaully you are wrong. The origianl was actaully in French. Both Randy and The Rainbow s and Blondie covered it. Blondie's version was more successful because of Deborah Harry's sexaul appeal. This became their first big hit in French countrries because Harry added a French verse.
I like both versions because its really about a differnt person. One song is for a girl the other is for a boy.....
