u know it's the 70's when ur bright and flashy pants r so tight that they bulge when u stand still. i still prefer 70's clothing compared to the crappy clothing we have today (heavy sigh) oh well.
You know what this is? The work of somebody born in the 1900s conforming the reality of the 1970s to what he though in 1939 the future would be like. He still has assumes real music is big band, that people dance with goofy smiles, and when he sees the world around him he applies this worldview to a culture which has radically changed. Since this is the future, though, he makes the set look like something from a B sci-fi serial and inserts these little 'funky' sounds to make it modern/futuristic
"One of our recent albums, Nauseous Theme, gave Cis and Bobby plenty of ideas for new routines". Well, that explains the costumes - they're definitely nauseating!
This is cheese ball as hell, but this does not represent REAL Disco. This represents disco presented to old people that shit on themselves when they get exited.
Well, what do you know? There IS a reason as to why disco is dead. These horrible outfits and cheesy grins murdered it in a horrible, bloody, massacre.
I still say these white peeps have no natural rhythm....everything is very contrived....nothing from the gut......its like watching a bad dance school recital.....nasttyyyyy
I love this show.. I still watch the Lawrence Welk show every saturday on PBS..... I grew on this stuff and I could watch this all day long..... Welk Rules! Great wholesome TV when men were men and persons behaved like normal human beings..... Thanks for posting this great video.
No. In fact, I am listening to my Lawrence Welk "22 all time big band favorites" cd right now as I write these words.... It's got one of my fav's - "Take the A train" - very, very good music.
Its the dance team of sissy and sissy. These bitches could NOT dance. That man dont have an OUNCE of natural rhythm..every move is totally CONTRIVED!! They SUCK!!
Proof that The Lawrence Welk Show should have been cancelled exactly one week earlier.
I remember the '70s well and these costumes are ridiculous even by '70s standards. Either the costume designer was over 90 and didn't "get" this disco thing the kids were into, or the costume designer was doing major quantities of LSD.
Also, there were several gay Mousketeers but I don't think Bobby Burgess was one of them.
hahah that's funny cuz i was just leaving a comment on a different laurence welk vid saying how if i'd been born 30 years sooner i'd have been FUCKED... i don't think i could have delt with this world.
Take a song that's already incredibly cheesy like Love Will Keep Us Together, give it to the Lawrence Welk Band, and let Cissy and Bobby um do their thing. Pure gold baby!
I love how LW pronounces "Nadia's Theme" as "nauseous theme". There are actually a lot of difficult steps in this and they pull them off well, but the costumes are burning a hole in my monitor. LOL
Thank God there was no singing. milmascaras66, I'm sure it was in his contract that he had to wear whatever it was that they told him to. I can't believe he acutaly had yellow shoes! Can you dig it?
Oh man. This is as close to disco as I have ever heard on Welk. Bobby busts some outrageous moves here, sports some weird floppy hair, his trademark toothy grin, nearly drops Cissy at the end, but his outfit is beyond the pale. No man, when asked to wear that suitie, should ever have answered yes. Ever! Thanks again krimkramm for the awesome Welk. Wunnerful squared.
