McCoys - Hang On Sloopy [Very Good(+) quality] (Live, 1965)

[terrryc]

Don't laugh.....the song is about Oral Sex.....now the lyrics make sense, don't they?

[exc123]

Rick Derringer!!!!

[wllsera92]

Oh God, this is the first time that i listen the original of this song, there was a version in Spanish bad called Lupe and I did not know this existed, thanks you very much for this song, love from Colombia.

[raponte1955]

Very awful playing so I guess the studio recording was done by session musicians.

[mossterri]

A VERY young Rick Derringer singing lead...... I'll take "Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo"!

[MattHatter]

Had no idea the band was THAT goofy looking! Good grief, it's like I'm watching a commercial for Clearasil! Then again, they're probably no more goofy looking that we were as teenagers in the '90s.

[edsk8tr]

ugly men!! i think they´re my uncles!!

[almon1963]

ooh ooh Lupe lupita mi amor ye yee,

asi dice la versión en español.

[LastTree]

Love the go go girl moves..yeah!

[chibago1]

Sloopy. Sloopy??? Really? For the last 40 some years I thought they were singing about Snoopy. I wonder how this impacted my life journey.....

[Tony1949d]

You know, watching all these videos from the sixties, and although I grew up in that era, the most embarrassing thing are the go-go dancers! Funny how I never noticed it before :/

[strappingone]

what has become of all the band mates...

[grasscarpets]

Really Richard Zehrimger

Also player slide for stealy Dan and lead for Alice cooper on under my wheels.

[grasscarpets]

Young Rick derringer

[The096757]

singer's voice sound good but it is a stupid song and stupid words....a fred flintstone song not a good 60s rock song.

[defencedragon]

And now, introducing Ron Weasley on vocals...

Seriously, this is an awesome song!

[1populist]

Fantastic! Rock n roll. Played by young people for young people like it's suppsoed to be done.

[Hovenaut]

O H .....

[whippet6636]

I O

[cmmwiz]

Rick Derringer went on to play with Edgar Winter.(Frankenstein, Free Ride)

Heard this song 1000's times and still like hearing it now and then.

[rr7firefly]

Has anyone ever known a girl named Sloopy in real life? What kind of a name is that, anyway?

[TheGB1950]

Wheres the end of the song?

[SixtiesPopGold1]

@TheGB1950 It was edited this way on the Rhino release some 20 years ago.

[TheGB1950]

@SixtiesPopGold1 Thanks much!

[boogiefever1985]

@SixtiesPopGold1 It was edited this way in 1992?

[SixtiesPopGold1]

@boogiefever1985 As far as I remember. There were lots of fading in and fading out before the song was finishes. But that was also the way they made the Shindig episodes on many occasions.

[Aliendear]

Wow! Rick Darringer, 16 years old,

[TheGB1950]

@Aliendear This looks like a different dude than the official color video(girl with knockers) of this song by the McCoys in the 70s, he sounds different too......?? is this  Rick Darringer? I like this orig version more.

[Lloydhl]

@TheGB1950

Yep, this is Rick, he was the lead guitar and vocalist from day 1.

[TheGB1950]

@Lloydhl Thanks much, cool man.

[orgonetrail]

The dancing is so good, hahaha. I'm gonna bust out those moves at the next party I go to!

[curio46]

No wonder I can dance ....

[hermounts]

this has to be a record number of dancing girls--behind AND in front!

[lBStrokin]

Gotta love groups managers back then. "Listen you idiots, your going on national TV so smile through the song like your getting a blow job".

[egyptianminor]

Rick Derringer looking like a fucked up, stoned out version of Leonardo Dicaprio

[BCK]

Justin Bieber with 'attitude'

[homemoviescolorado]

Thanks for posting WOW, they were young. Discovered shortly before this by The Strangeloves I believe. DC5 almost recorded this first

[spacepatrolman]

@homemoviescolorado The vibrations did it first the mcoys had the hit [there is a live version by the vibrations on the murry the k show record also recorded by jim and jean ]

[jmshaw357]

Notice the John Lennon 'bowlegged bop' as he used to do, and the English pronunciation of the word 'girls'--it was at the height of the English invasion, and even the Americans would effect a little of the english magic into their act--I'm not complaining--I really liked this era. Liked the McCoys too! It was an innocent time for most of us still.

[thebellymob]

Great man, just seen Rick with Ringos All Starr band, and he still sung it note perfect 46 years on, awesome !!!

[moreneta]

Rick Derringer sooo cuteeeeeeeee!

[therotiv4]

great live version!
