Barry Manilow - American Bandstand

If Barry Manilow had known that his songs would make people dance like this he might have re-written them. The title song from the TV show where young people just endlessly dance like buffoons in a studio has always bothered me. This is my salutation to an American Saturday morning show favorite!

Boy.....things will be Hoppin and Poppin in Heaven...Mr Clark you were a very big part of my growing up years, because of your show I learned to appreciate music and learn all the latest dance moves. Thank You for wonderful memories. R I P May God Bless You... America's Oldest Teenager :-) Gone ....but will never be forgotten

Thank You too, Beth. Your Stepfather's music is still in demand, especially this tune here. I was lucky to find a mint 78rpm copy of it recently. Always liked the tune, but I didn't know which band it was, but I should have known better. During the '50s and '60s they used to play Les Elgart records all the time, especially on the FM radio stations.

I didn't mean to say despise. After all, it's a good piece of music. Maybe I'm a little jealous of Barry. Long story

Thank you Jane , what a nice thing to remind people of about Les! He was my Stepfather, but more like a real dad, I loved him with all my heart! He was simply amazing in everyway! He would be thrilled to know people as yourself still remember his version in this day and time ..Thank you again Jane ..Happy New Year!! Beth

I am not a big Berry Manilow fan but i do enjoy this song, however this video is awful. I mean if you kicked him in the face it would not be as big of an insult as this video is.
