@gr8rootbear Poor old Stringbean looked pretty helpless, too...

It was a Christmas special (animated in Europe) that only ran four years, 1970-73...it still has a dedicated following--but because of its religious content, it faded from television..

Guitar in excelsis deo.

This song was played CONSTANTLY in Nebraska...I used to genuinely fear it when it came on the air...

i love his reaction to muffing the switch from "loving" to "kissing"...this is the best existing example of his dancing abilities...MOVE IT!

Doesn't the dad get any credit? :) Looks great!

@123ihatethiscrap According to the episode, she died of a stroke in her sleep. Jean Stapleton didn't appear in the episode at all.

This was the song I would play before my oldies radio show Saturday nights on KWPN, AM-84 in the early 1990's...just set up the mood perfectly...

WOW!! He absolutely NAILED IT!!! It gave me total chills up and down my spine!! Way to go dude!!!

@Isurvived4 I was watching "Blue Hawaii" at my grandmother's home...they cut into the movie to announce his death--then went right back to Elvis in the movie. Creepy as hell.

@scottybroker Jackie never was with Motown--Berry Gordy (his cousin) wrote songs for him (Lonely Teardrops and Reet Petite, for example), and used his song royalties from those hits to help start Motown. Apparently Gordy did want Wilson for Motown, but Wilson refused to leave Brunswick, saying, ...

@eclecticsteph The first time Jerry Reed met Elvis, he blurted out, "You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen!"

The blonde girl was modeled and voiced by former Playboy playmate Lynda Weismeyer.

Neat season recap--and interesting to see the "Game of the Century" from the other side--the '71 team should be among the top teams of all time, but by losing to Nebraska they became a footnote...Nebraska fans still describe this team in hushed tones.

ONLY the Beatles could take an old "girl group" song (this was originally a top 40 hit for the Shirelles), written from a girl's point of view, and create a classic...my favorite from their Vee Jay "Introducing the Beatles" album!

@teghe55 Thanks from me, as well! This is one of my favorite songs/video clips, and I'm glad to know some of the history behind it!

The girl in the gold "go-go" dress was Playmate of the Year Donna Michelle...she actually got "also starring" credit for this at 4:11, and it was her only appearance in the movie! Despite both of her talents, screen stardom eluded her.

Peter Fonda is immortal for two sole reasons--1. Easy Rider. 2. The line, "I know what it's like to be dead." The order might need to be reversed.

Seeing how Barry and Robin wrote this for Otis Redding, it makes one wonder what incredible levels he could have taken this--even still, a great recording by the Bee Gees...

At 3:15, the Cornhusker running back fumbling the ball is Dave Goeller (who lives a block away from me!). His granddaughter attends the school I teach at, which makes this clip seem very odd...

"...I can't give you the world--but I'll work hard for you, girl--I'll work hard (every day) and all my life (in every way) please don't leave me...just do this for me..." Has there ever been a more chilling moment in music history than this chorus? The Wall of Sound at its most majestic.

This was the last song I played as a college station DJ, and it was also the last song I played before I quit broadcasting to become a teacher...thanks for posting the studio version!

Andy's voice was sped up to make him sound more like a "surfer dude"--as you can tell from "Rock Me Gently" his normal voice is much lower...

I found this single in an Omaha antique store, molderin' away in a box...I only bought it because of the label--glad that I did!

A positive statement about the 1970's was that this made the top 40 thirty years after it was first released! Sometimes, genius takes a while to be recognized...

The BLOSSOMS (with Darlene Love in the middle) at :16!

Just how good was Bo Diddley that day? Watch in the background at 2:59...he has the professional dancers movin' and groovin' to the music off stage...for free!

A classic, released on Sun's Phillips International label...the original version, and the best!

According to the Beatles in their "Anthology", this was their favorite song of the time--and when they made their legendary visit to Elvis, the King played this constantly on his jukebox.

'nuff said.

Are you kidding? The chorus is fantastic! I have sampled it several times for plays that I have produced...and also when they come back in at the end, you understand...a masterwork.

@mwsmedia What's getting in your way? If you are to write, then WRITE. Videos do nothing but act as barriers to the recesses of inspiration. Don't get caught up in the trivia. Remove the distractions.
