  • What a great song!

  • it only burns when I pee

  • what a great song!

    and love the guy with the onion xD

  • Donna Loren had a beautiful voice...this is my favorite beach movie. Just an fyi for those who don't know..Donna Loren played in a Monkees episode entitled "Everywhere a sheik sheik" as the princess.

    Also I cannot believe how young Mike Nader was (the guy on the other side of the fireplace with his girl getting kissed and bumping his head LOL. He was also in the TV show Gidget and General Hospital....just for those who don't know, but I am sure you do :-) Thanks for posting!!

  • @Gidget115

    And if we are taking about the same guy (the one roasting/burning the hotdogs, the girl kissing him is Donna Michelle (Ronner), a LA model, famous for her selection as Playboy's December 1963 Playmate and 1964 Playmate of the Year. She was also a gymnast (in high school) and athlete (for what athletics were at the time). Despite her beauty and charm, she never made it as an actress except for small few and far between roles. She eventually became a successful photographer.

    Ciao, L

  • ...it only hurts when i listen.

  • I always loved Donna's voice and this is my favorite song from all the "beach" movies. Made me want to move to California and look! I finally did it! Long live Annette and all the girl singers!!

  • That's Dora over Donna's left shoulder!

  • GO DONNA! so demanding....

    haha :)

  • Good song and great looking lady, and I miss the likes of the beach movies, lots of fun and romance. As for poor bonehead, he always gets misunderstood.

  • Great song - and the background vocal females at the beginning set the pace for the song.

  • In 'Love's a Secret Weapon' from 'Bikini

    Beach', I agree that it's frustrating to cut away from Donna to Keenan Wynn and the chimp, but on second thought it makes you anticipate cutting back to her. Notice how the editor cuts back to Donna just at the right time, on highlights. It's interesting that they took the time to lower her singing on the cut aways as Wynn is further away. This makes it more real as does the sound of the waves. Would the sequence be as powerful by staying 100% on Donna?

  • Takes me back,Thanks....

  • The best song in any of the Beach Party movies (and Beach Blanket Bingo had far and away the best girl group songs to begin with)...thanks for sharing, especially the widescreen version

  • pacific ocean park 1965 watch out!

  • A great song

  • A true 'Beach Badger' Who made us all wanna curl a 10!

  • i used to have the biggest crush on her when i was little, does anyone know what the fun song she sang was, it was either from that movie or from one of beach movies

  • Maybe you're thinking of "Among the young" from Pajama Party.

  • no i figured it out, It's "Secret Weapon"

  • Oh, that one...that's a good one too except for the editing. I hate the way the camera keeps interrupting the song and dancing and cutting away to show that idiot and his pet monkey.

  • Word !!!

  • grr, i hate it when they do that too! y couldnt they have waited til the song ended.

  • B abely and she sings good too. ;)

  • The blonde guy in the red shirt who lies down on the coffee table and eats the hot dog is Johnny Fain, a famous surfer. The guy who puts the hot dog in Johnny's mouth is Mike Nader, another surfer who later played Dex, Joan Collins' boyfriend on Dynasty.

  • Donna, you are so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

  • The guy on the guitar ("Ok ready?" "Go, Donna!") is Ned Wynn, son of actor Keenan Wynn (who was in Bikini Beach). He wrote an autobiographical book titled: "We Will Always Live In Beverly Hills" (published somewhere around 1990-92). He writes about his drug and alcohol abuse, being a son of his Father, etc.

  • Interesting.

  • Thanks, great post. All this time I thought it was Guy Hemeric, Gary Usher or a young Mike Post (who later produced some of Donna's 45s). I'll get the book on Amazon.

  • @classicphile Also the grandson of Ed Wynn, The Mad Hatter, The Toymaker and several other Disney characters.

  • From a guy's point of view...come on ladies start putting those pop cans in your hair and let we guys enjoy those Flips.

    They looked so Fab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Donna's a babe. Even now. Check it out.

  • It's NOT Annette Funicello in this video!!!

  • Donna Loren appears in several of the cult classic beach movies, and I felt this song, imparticular, was one of her shining moments in the Beach Series. If you'd like, I could upload some Annette, as I very much enjoy her songs as well.

  • Her original " The Way of Love" was better than Cher's redo - which may be why it was removed from here

  • Who cares what color she is, stupid-ass?

  • you replied to the wrong post....

    so who's the stupid ass?

  • If you closed your eyes you would think she was black and what a doll!! Sounds very Motown.

  • Yeah, I can get that. Nice observation.

  • i love this movie! I used to rewind and write down all the lyrics.

  • those women hairdos! they are so hot..the men hairdos forget it!!! these guys ddn't seem to be into the moptop style!their hairdos are so faggiots

  • Yo, you need to load a clip from Back to the beach!!!

  • I love how more instruments than just the guitar play. Donna Loren is a gem and has a great singing voice.

  • agree! her voice is amazing!
