The Archies - Boys and Girls (Correct Speed & Pitch) with The Jughead (Dance Of The Week)

This music segment was one of 17 "Dance of the Week" and "Brand New Song" segments originally shown on "The Archie Show" on CBS-TV on Saturday mornings in 1968, and repeated on the original hour-long format of "Archie's Funhouse" in 1970. The song, "Boys and Girls" was included on The Archies' first self-titled LP, released in 1968.

This version of the music segment has the CORRECT SPEED & PITCH. The current DVD releases of Filmation's Archie show material have an inaccurate 4% increase in speed & pitch due to the conversion from NTSC to PAL format, and vice-versa. The correct version I have uploaded is from an alternate source of years ago.

"The Archie Show" is currently owned by USA based Classic Media (formerly Entertainment Rights from the UK), which purchased the Filmation library from it's previous owner, Hallmark. "The Archie Show" and the 30-minute format of "Archie's Funhouse" (with some funhouse & side-show segments from "The Archie Comedy Hour" added as bonus material) are currently available in complete DVD boxsets from Genius Products.

"Archie" is owned and copyrighted by Archie Comic Publications.

Yes--Betty's once again shaking a mean tambourine. Also, some extra animated shots of Jughead playing the drums. Love these Filmation cartoons.  Didn't they also do the animated Star Trek show on NBC Saturday mornings?

@wainoco318 Yes, they did.  The Archie related series put Filmation in the spotlight during the early 70's, and they were approached by the Star Trek heads to do an animated series. If it had not been for the popularity of the Archie series, I doubt that Filmation would have been given the contract for Star Trek.

@CoolioRockstar The best way that I can think of is to purchase a compilation CD or individual album CD of The Archies songs, and then use software to burn the songs to MP3 format.  You can then transfer them to your iPod. Also, I believe some of The Archies songs are available on iTunes. Also, Amazon sells all of The Archies albums in digital format now.

@CoolioRockstar These are the same musicians and singers that later performed The Archies' hit "Sugar, Sugar". Ron Dante on lead vocals. There have been several incarnations of The Archies, but the original band was from 1968 to 1972, and released 6 albums. A different Archies band was formed to perform music for the show "U.S. of Archie" in 1974, and another for the show "The New Archie / Sabrina Hour" in 1977. However, neither of these last two bands released any albums.

@JJRiffy488 Yes. Repertoire Records released The Archies first album (which includes the song "Boys and Girls") on CD a few years ago, including the original album artwork on both the front and back covers. They also added on two bonus tracks of The Archies first single (front and back) in mono format. Overall, a great package. It is still available at Amazon. Just go to Amazon, do a search for Archies, and you will find the album listed as "1st Album". Also available on eBay.
