Since you dig oldies let it be known that dancer Lisa Leonard Dalton has posted a new video with brief clips of her dancing at a "Hang on Sloopy" dance contest in summer 2024. She still has all the moves and she looks super.❤ ruclips.net/video/ZX9tgUc-Xnc/видео.htmlsi=wcZf2CFxVreV1Tg8
God, my first boyfriend would sing this song all the to tell. We were both the same age 16. I am 70 years old. Those memories were so sweet and tender!
I turned 8 in the summer of '66 and came down with the measles. Had to stay in bed in a darkened room for a week or two with just a radio to listen to. Guess what was playing every other hour along with "They're Coming To Take Me Away"?!! 55 years later and these songs are still seared into my brain! Um, good times??
Liz ... those were 2 of my favorites as well! I had a similar thing happen (I had Mono in Jr. High) late spring thru the entire summer of 70(?) I wasn't able to do much but lay in bed. I remember The Jackson 5, specifically Michael Jackson singing "I Want You Back" on Ed Sullivan Show, and I was amazed at how such a young child was so talented🎵🎶
@@chumdog90 Thanks,My mom was82,and my dad was66,he passed in 2002,I know their together with God now,and sorry your mom passed,she's with God to.Thanks,your so kind.😊
This is prob my all time favorite by this crazy band. They were so unique and Sam was so expressive, handsome, funny and belt out a tune. Happy Music ...and there's everything right with it.
The first time I heard that song, I was 3 and I got such a kick out of this song....this is a very good song after all these years. This music is timeless.
I remember this song vividly. Playing in my sandbox in our backyard in the 90's with my dad bbqing, my mom chatting with him under the canopy, and the big portable radio playing KOLA 99.9 and Casey Kasem going over the top charts from years before.
The older I get the more I love hearing these old songs. Having an older brother I got turned onto some pretty great music, like Elvis, Fats Domino and Dean Martin, and the list goes on and on..Peace and Love
Fans of classic oldies....Lisa Leonard Dalton, the dancing "Sloopy Girl," has revealed the name of the studio in which her 1975 dance with Rick Derringer was filmed. People have wondered about it for many years. Now Lisa answers the question in this video: ruclips.net/video/ViEnk7Rk2ZQ/видео.htmlsi=G152dynHn2gpRqzM
In 1966 Sam and his boys arrived at the dedication of a new supermarket in Chicago. Me and my friends rode our bikes and the crowd was about 500 people. Sam arrived in a limo, he and his bandmates threw pennies out the windows to disperse the crowd so they could exit the vehicle. They sang this song and Wooly Bully. In less than 5 minutes they ran back into the limo. Some quick bucks. I think I got about 4 pennies that day, and ran to the local grocery store for penny candy. A penny was worth about a dime or quarter in those days.
Showed this song to my son while lodging at the Great Wolf Lodge Water Park. He was amused. When we first got to resort, they said we could get free wolf ears at gift shop. When we got there, they said we have to give a big howl to earn our ears. Now this song will bring great memories for my family and I.
Samudio resurrected The Pharaohs in 1963. The new lineup was Samudio (vocals/organ), Dave Martin (bass), Ray Stinnet (guitar), Jerry Patterson (drums), and Butch Gibson (saxophone). They made their debut with the novelty number "Haunted House" and signed up with the MGM music label. The follow-up songs "Ju Ju Hand" and "Ring Dang Do" were minor chart successes. The band scored their greatest smash hit with the wonderfully raucous "Wooly Bully," which sold over three million copies and stayed on the Billboard Top 40 charts for 18 weeks (the song peaked at #2 on the pop charts). "Wooly Bully" was named Record of the Year for 1965 by "Billboard" magazine. The bubbly "Li'l Red Riding Hood" likewise did very well; it peaked at #2 on the Billboard pop charts for two weeks straight. The group went on to record more enjoyably frothy novelty singles, but none of them were as successful as either "Wooly Bully" or "Li'l Red Riding Hood." The band appear as themselves in the musical When the Boys Meet the Girls (1965). Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs disbanded in 1967.
After leaving the music business, Sam worked in Mexico as an interpreter and as a mate on small commercial boats in the Gulf of Mexico.[9] Sam later became a motivational speaker and still makes occasional concert appearances. He was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2016. Personal life Sam married Louise Smith on August 28, 1959 in Dallas, Texas. They had one son named Dimitrius Samudio, born on May 28, 1963, in Dallas. They divorced on May 16, 1968, in Dallas. Most sources refer to Samudio's ancestry as Mexican-American.[10][11][12] However, a 1998 article by the Chicago Tribune described Samudio as being of Basque/Apache descent.[13] In a 2007 conversation with music writer Joe Nick Patoski, Samudio described his grandparents fleeing the Mexican Revolution and settling in Texas where his family supported themselves working in the cotton fields.
Had to get surgery when I was a kid and I was scared to be put under. My grandad laid down and sang this song with me while the nurses pretended to give him anesthesia too. I remember them all laughing at me and him howling.
I saw Sam in Casper, Wyo. at the Ag Barn in 1969 ? , 1970 ? It was a cold and wet night that made for a dreary concert. Sam sang good and the Shamettes got the old blood warmed up with their mini skirts and long legs. I'm in my 70's now so those memories are starting to blur ; hate to lose them.
I love Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs so much in the 60s & still love them to this day. I loved their outfits. To know Sam never played an instrument, that's where the sham came in..lol
One of my Fav songs in Jr High! I actually STILL have the 45!!! 2:45 Then, to have it, in part, on "Striking Distance" w/Bruce Willis! Oohhh, shivers! ✌️🤘 oh yeah, 12/11/23!!! ROCK ON!!!❤
Pops cruised to this song back in the 60s when he was young before heading to sf and making me in the summer of love ....I love this song He turned me on to great music sky saxon and the seeds,love (7.7 is) yardbirds,The animal's Jefferson airplane (bathing at Baxter's). The warlocks =( the GfL dead) and so many many more... love you pops RIP thx for turning me on to a world of great music.
I hadn't heard this song in years. It popped up while I was listening to other 60s comedy songs. I recognized the title but couldn't for the life of me remember the song. It all came back with that first howl.
I was in the middle of the shit when this song first came out I was fighting overseas in Vietnam listening to the song On armed forces radio brings back a lot of memories I still wish I could go back to those days
My Best friend Just sent this to me. We met when she asked to barrow a crayon in second grade. That was 1967 we've been friends ever since. Love you Heidi.
I remember hearing this song in a made for TV movie on Halloween called, "The Midnight Hour" back in 1986... And it was as Awesome Then... As It Is Now!!! :) :) :) 😊☺️😊☺️😊😊😎😎😎👆👆👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍷🍷🍷🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

Howl What's that I see walkin' in these woods? Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood. Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood You sure are lookin' good You're everything a big, bad wolf could want... Listen to me Little Red Riding Hood I don't think little big girls should Go walkin' in these spooky ol' woods alone. Howl What big eyes you have The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad. So just to see that you don't get chased I think I ought to walk with you for a ways. What full lips you have They're sure to lure someone bad. So until you get to Grandma's place I think you ought to walk with me and be safe. I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on Til I'm sure that you've been shown That I can be trusted, walking with you alone. Howl Little Red Riding Hood I'd like to hold you if I could But you might think I'm a big, bad wolf, so I won't. Howl What a big heart I have The better to love you with. Little Red Riding Hood Even bad wolves can be good. I'll try to keep satisfied Just to walk close by your side. Maybe you'll see things my way Before we get to Grandma's place. Little Red Riding Hood You sure are lookin' good You're everything a big, bad wolf could want. Howl I mean baaaaa, baaaaaa, baaaaa...

I remember playing , "16 Candles" for my first girlfriend on her 16th birthday - I never really got over her 😔
It's a lovely song, I'm still a teen myself but it's a favourite of mine, hahah

I was only 9, it was played on LA radio constantly.
I was also ten then. I sang my heart out to it everytime it came on.
I was 9 minutes came out
I was only 8, KXOK 630 on your am dial....in St. Louis, Johnny Rabbit...
I was 9, also.......they played the hell out of it on Philly AM radio ..late summer, '66.....
The first time I heard that song, I was 3 and I got such a kick out of this song....this is a very good song after all these years. This music is timeless.
I don't remember how old I was, but immediately loved it to my parents dismay, because I was maybe in kindergarten
I remember this song vividly. Playing in my sandbox in our backyard in the 90's with my dad bbqing, my mom chatting with him under the canopy, and the big portable radio playing KOLA 99.9 and Casey Kasem going over the top charts from years before.
Uh...2023....now...
The time/date NOW is_______ _______

This is like a cross between an “Animals” song and an Everly Brothers” song. Very sneaky, but iconic sound. Love Sam the Sham.

I remember this song. Wow! I think it was early 70s is when I first heard it.
Howl
What's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big, bad wolf could want...
Listen to me
Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walkin' in these spooky ol' woods alone.
Howl
What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.
What full lips you have
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to Grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Til I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted, walking with you alone.
Howl
Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big, bad wolf, so I won't.
Howl
What a big heart I have
The better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to keep satisfied
Just to walk close by your side.
Maybe you'll see things my way
Before we get to Grandma's place.
Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big, bad wolf could want.
Howl
I mean baaaaa, baaaaaa, baaaaa...
Perfect song...Good old days ❤
