Good song, good duo but it amazes me that the producer(s) would think this stupid skit would be entertaining

This was from the last episode of Shindig on Jan 8, 1966. This was a "tribute" to the show (Batman) that was replacing Shindig in ABC's schedule. Seems like I read somewhere that it was filmed in color but broadcast in black and white since all previous Shidigs were black and white.
Yes, the skit is silly but hey, the Blossoms look incredible! I am a big fan of Darlene Love

In her book, DeeDee indicated they hated these costumes and doing this particular skit.

I just finished reading DeeDee's fantastic memoir....what a great and eventful experience she had. It brought back many wonderful memories from the 1960's. Dick and DeeDee were one of a kind, the best couple act of the 60's.

The shindig band was always awesome!

@dickanddeedee good cover

I really like the costumes and this song - and the Blossoms to the right are awesome. I always loved anything Dick and Dee Dee did - their songs were so fantastic.

Dick & Dee Dees scopitone of "where have all the good times gone?" is pure gold! Was that filmed on Balboa Island? Always loved this song & lost my mind to see these two do it...WOW!!!

This is so F'ing funny....so precious. And I'm 61. Just don't repeat it.

I love this song and this version.. The Supremes are also good.
Dee Dee, are you and Dick the only ones who remade this song apart from Klaus Nomi?

We never recorded this song, only sang it this one time for the Shindig final show. It's a great song and no one could sound better on it that the original singer, Lou Christie.

Don't forget to credit the Blossoms at the background

The Blossoms were fantastic backup singers and especially in Darlene Love's case, powerful talents on their own. In the Lightening Strikes video they are, from left to right, Fanita James, Darlene Love and Jeanie King. I wrote a long tribute to them on my blog (YouTube doesn't allow posting blog or website addresses).
