  • Hi... It was in the movie "Don't Knock The Rock"...Bill Haley and his Comets were actually playing "Rip it Up" to the dancing of the San Francisco Jitterbugs as I learned from a previous comment, a professional dance group.

    Thanks for your interest.

  • The dance group appear in lots of 50s American movies ,they are the San Francisco Jitterbugs . Look them up online the club is still going . And Bill Haley & his group don"t have many people who can do a good copy of them ,at their peak , but this group is the best I have heard .

  • @rockabillygilly thanks for the info and comments!!

  • The band is GREAT!!!!. But the REAL stars of this video, is the dancers.... Who dares to say I'm wrong???? Great video. Thanks for posting!!!!

  • @kens054 Your welcome!! Right the dancing is awesome..I think it came from a 50's movie. The guys played this last Saturday at a local spot and blew the place away!! Some dancing but not even close to the vid.regards!

see all

  • @chiva2507 Amazing that this old stuff is appreciated by "kids of all ages". One of the comments ntes the following:"The dance group appear in lots of  50s American movies ,they are the San Francisco Jitterbugs . Look them up online the club is still going . And Bill Haley & his group don"t have many people who can do a good copy of them ,at their peak , but this group is the best I have heard ."

    You comment refers to a 1956 movie "Dont Knock The Rock" w Bill Haley doing "Rip It UP" Thanks!

  • @paullos99 Hi Hobo5280. Best ever, did you know the dancers.??? Like the couple on righthandside,tall blonde white top and black skirt.!!! They all look so happy.!!!Shows what good music can do to you.Bit before my time[12years old] but the music never dies. CHEERS.!!!

  • Excellent version, best ive heard in years..:)...Thx Paullos99

  • I think they're great band, and their period is a really amazing, not the mid-60th! You think "the best and most influential band of all time"

  • That was fun...!!

  • I got the movie via NETFLIX kool man kool.

  • @njriverman See "Rip It Up" HQ 1956 on YouTube, its the same video.
