Intermission Time

[SteveCarras]

The way to shpw these again in driv ein or theatre is to clear the music rights from APM and Carlin and others, since "canned music" was used so often. Fortunately, as one John Kricfalusi [ has proven it is possible, but not as easy as just subring to Capitol, whcih used to supply this. [It's the reason that intermission clips sounds like an old Jay Ward or Hanna-Barbera cartoon or Columbia Pictures sitcom, to audiences then aS NOW.]

Before moving to Taiwan I lived right down the road from a drive-in, I really liked it a lot and would go often..but then my car started stalling, forgot to bring mosquito repellent most nights, carrying the refreshments back to my car turned into a bit of a problem, and someone reversed into my car because it was dark and they didn't see it

But still, I loved going and do miss it, especially Thursday nights "full car $5" admittance night~ take 5 people it's a $1 each for 2 movies! But sitting

sandyanna ~ I could kiss you IN MACY'S WINDOW for posting this video of THE CONTENDERS doing THE CLOCK!

[dudemantwo]

Is this new?

[BigIronOnHipMan]

Just went to my Wayne Valley HS 40 Year Reunion and had a great time. AAA-BEH, WHOA!..AAA-BEH, WHOA!..KOO-AH-ZOW-AH-ZOW-AAAAH­, AAARRRGGGHHH!!! ... It's what's happening, baby! ... OK, kids let's hear it for The Contenders doing ~~~ The Clock!

[hebneh]

There was an incident in the '60s at a busy, rushed drive-in snack bar when a worker accidentally filled a cola dispenser with a similarly-colored brown liquid which turned out to be insecticide instead of Coke or Pepsi concentrate. Only a few people took a sip from their cups, but were poisoned regardless.

Not everything at the drive-in back in the old days was wonderful.

[dewron60]

Wow how i remember those days smiles

[skeeteatter]

People back then dressed better for the drive in than people do today for work.

[sandyanna]

That is so true different morals too.

[magicjoybox]

Very different. Such as "Whites Only Restroom".

[moonrice555]

@magicjoybox LOL! So true---the good old days weren't always good.

[sr71ablackbird]

if it could only be like that again today, maybe, just maybe our country could get back on track a bit.

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

@sandyanna

Same morals. Better at hiding it. :) haha

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

@skeeteatter

The difference is that we no longer respect each other. Seriously. We just don't care about each other. I mean, when's the last time you gave someone change at starbucks because they were short 25 cents or something? I'm just using that as an example.. I mean down in this part of the country, it's more common, but not in other places, like the Los Angeles, Baltimore, etc.

[TheLegendfamily]

@skeeteatter: It's obviously staged to a certain extent for the benefit of these promos. But, for the most part, you are correct IMO.

[SteveCarras]

@skeeteatter

ANd today my mother and I sitll dress whereever we go..you should see us at Regal@La Habra, Orange County,Calif. Never without sweaters on..we look like we came out of years ago..

[monkeeman1966]

@skeeteatter Same thing with sporting events.

[princehidalgo]

other than that rant...bless you for not only making this, but making it available to download....youve saved me alot of time....

[princehidalgo]

Ii think things made more sense back then why bother building a big arena of a place for movies when youd be much more comfortable in your own car where you feet dont stick to the ground and your car is as hot or cold as YOU or your date like it. you know how ladies get cold, sometimes i see alot of girls with jackets on in the theater. doesnt make sense and you dont have to share armrests | <that big with someone you dont know.plus you dont have to worry about finding seats for your whole group

[acdc126]

u r living in the past!

[jdmitchell2]

This isn't always a bad thing, remembering the past...

[acdc126]

who said this is bad?

[jdmitchell2]

It's not bad, just as long you also don't forget to remember to live in the present.

[madsixtian]

Best "drive-in intermission" compiliation on YouTube! Thanks for posting it!

[YogaNate79]

I wish my fudge bars and popsicles would march and twirl battons around my kitchen like they do on here!

[BigIronOnHipMan]

This brings back great memories from many moons ago of my Father taking me and my Brother Bobby to the Totowa Drive-In on Route 46E in Totowa, NJ to see Yul Brenner in a colourful swashbuckler "THE BUCCANEER"...I also love "THE CONTENDERS" cut "THE CLOCK"...Super post!

[BigIronOnHipMan]

What is it about DOO-WOP MUSIC that sends me on an emotional roller-coaster ride more breath-taking than a three minute amusement park ride? Unless we're talkin' `bout the Cyclone at Coney Island or Meteor at PAP. Yeeeah, when I hear that drum beat thunk, the Bass Man bomp, the Baritones blend with the Falsettos allowing the Tenor leadm to hit his mark ALL in perfect Harmony ~ DANG! `Tis 1957 again and I'm runnin' loose on cobblestone Conover ST. Red Hook, Brooklyn! Gee, I loved those Happy Days

[melaniestevens]

this one has the best pic quality if most of them

[foellmi]

cool

[bdog840]

Alien Ant Farm used the Hot Dog Bun part in there music video "Movies".

[prausch65]

The drive in, and the intermission, a true slice of Americana.

[testtubeerror]

God these things were shameless.

[nomentum]

They use this one at the Cascade Drive in in West Chicago.

[nemmie007]

Does anyone know if I can get a dvd with this video?

I checked a couple of the websites that advertised intermission clips but none were specific as to which intermission films were included. Does anyone know if there is a dvd with this particular piece on it? specifically the dancing food items

[Asgannen]

This is the same intermission they use at the drive-in here in Ft Collins, CO.....with summer coming around I'll be there all the time. So much fun!

[coejack]

you still got drive ins over there geez in canada they are long time gone

[Asgannen]

Oh yah, we got two or three left in Colorado. It's funny abecause before the itermission vidoes they show this whole sob story on how many drive-ins were closed down and how to keep ours alive. It's funny.

[coejack]

lmao see im 19 so i never got a chance to drive in movies canada blows some times

[pmcd76]

actually i am in canada and we have a drive in.

[coejack]

well here in ottawa we dont lol

[wiley207]

The boy at 02:03 looks like Frankie Muniz!

[LMNTAL15]

Good video :-)

[tickkledpinkk]

WOW! IT's the dancing hotdog from the movie "Grease"!!!

[Predarat]

Nice job! rated it a 5!

[peterproscia]

Nice montage! That's the problem with America today,... no dancing hot dogs.

[Dwojy18]

That made me want to get a hot dog.

[stephanie1977]

dang, that made me hungry lol

[timmymurphy]

hey wats the name of this song?

[discod]

It worked, I'm starving now!

[MrUnidyne]

Oh, what memories...!

[rcktmanil]

Fantastic! What a great set of memories. :)

[JackRabbit1956]

How or where can I download this video

[sandyanna]

You can download this video at the Bandongo link in my description.

[JackRabbit1956]

I have another lobby promo that I think is even older... perhaps from the 30's I can send it to you if you want. Also I fixed the sound on yours I can send that as well Perhaps MSN ??? Robert

[sandyanna]

I would love to see the Lobby Promo load it up to YouTube.

[ProductionX]

All it needed at the end was the "And now, on with the show!" or such a sequence.

[sandyanna]

Yes I noted that myself. The video was made in the pre- You Tube days If made today it would of had an alternate ending.

[savoytruffle]

nice : )...whenever the hot dog jumps into the bun at our drive-in everybody honks their horns : ) goodtimes

[albydipped]

Check out this Drive In Video:

[abbabeffy]

That was fantastic, and the beginning video was the same as was used in the movie "Grease" in the background of the song "Sandy" Thanks for this!

[ingaman]

DUDE!

IT TOTALLY RULES WHEN THE HOT DOG JUMPS INTO THE BUN!!!!

EVERY TIME THAT HAPPENS AT THE DRIVE IN HERE, EVERYONE CHEERS!!! IT'S THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!!!!!
