Keep on the Sunny Side - Classic Sesame Street

This is a clip of the obscure female band, The Deadly Nightshade, peforming on Sesame Street in 1975. Until recently, I had been trying to identify this group.

Really? Like what?

[MattHatter]

I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS CLIP!!! Man I love when I get my mind blown like this! Dang it! I don't know who this group is either! Is it The Roches?

[sawing14s]

I just updated the description - now we know who they are.

These girls did a FANTASTIC job!! I LOVE the remake of the original song!! This remake sounds VERY hyper. Hyper just like I am, rofl.

What other Country Songs does this Country Group sing?

Thanks for posting!! I might be a 27 yr old dude from Brooklyn, NY, but I still LOVE Sesame Street and Country Music is my FAVORITE genre of music!! :)

These Ladies are excellent musicians-

i seen them live in Philadelphia in 1975 at a place called the main point. I wish someone would post "ONIONS" a very funny but good song. I had the pleasure to meet them and become friends with Pam--but lost touch over the years. Don't judge them on this song--find and listen to their other music and you will like it.

It has to be played fast for the kids due to their short attention spans. Remember that this is Sesame Street, not the Grand Old Opry. I'd like to hear them go straight into Orange Blossom Special. I like these long hair styles of the mid 70s these ladies wore. I wish more ladies, not guys, wore these styles now. Oh, well!!

I had an album by them.  This was the trad cut on it. I liked the song about eating an onion! "Onions, They Keep You Straight!"

[LesPaulXXX]

[lukalamps]

Hey, briansky10, this is Pam from the Deadlies, and actually we're playing again! We just took a longer break than usual between sets... about 33 years. Whatever, we're playing The Iron Horse in Northampton, MA, on May 24, and The Bitter End in NYC on June 4. And we're going to start both shows with this song; the years haven't slowed us down a bit. Thanks for the really nice comment... Btw: What was I doing at your house?
