Rocks well, I also like the Bobby Fuller version. It is soooo lazy.

Everyone who thinks those girls had to have been on speed, coke, or both, to maintain the energy needed to perform that ludicrous hammer dance, say "aye."

Is that Marvin Gaye doing The Dog?

@potaluca That's actually true, in a way. According to the Gazzarri Dancers website, the girls made $250 per week in 1965 dollars. That's about $2,000 in today's money. Not a bad gig for a young girl in those days.

[haworthhoarder]

[monstersontheshelf]

Show's budget was so low that the drummer had to stand!

It's okay though cause the money went to the go-go girl budget!
