Scopitone's What I Say

  • Scopitone was a 1960's type of jukebox featuring a 16 mm film component. Scopitone films were a forerunner of modern music videos. The first Scopitones were made in France. These videos came to me through my brother-in-law Carl. He first showed them last September while we were busily preparing to travel to Lopez Island for Robyn's wedding. I don't know if Carl was nervous about traveling to this estrogen soaked destination, but I was. We watched the Scopitone music video DVD, as a sort of pre-game warm-up exercise. "Pussy Cat A Go Go", performed by Stacy Adams and the Rockabily Boys, was the first video on this disk. Yes it is plainly misogynistic, but it is also a product of it's time, plus it's French. The second video, "What I Say", by Sylvie Vartan is not sexist, but it is even more French, Ce que j'en dis.

    what a lovely film. the singer, upon a few viewings, reminds me of Lulu. i love her energy. most young people at the time danced like that. in a tv series of the time called The Human Jungle, the main character is a psychiatrist and his teenage daughter says in one episode she had seen a client 'at The Twist Club'. they all danced the same. it is plainly NOT misogynistic. she is not undressed and there is man in the film who dances with her. thanks for posting

      Sylvie Vartan is a legend, who along with (future husband) Johnny Hallyday, did so much to introduce R&R to France, and is known even to us Yanks who have immersed ourselves in that era from afar. She is one of my most favourite Yé-Yé Girls, bested only by Françoise Hardy.

    Ray Charles' original hit is from 1959, but I'd say this is likely 1965 or before.

    As my dad would say: "That's not dancing. Also, I'm not sure it's singing." And ten years or so after this was made everyone agreed. Of course he'd be 100 this year, and probably would be relieved he couldn't see OR hear it.

    If you think Pussycat a Go Go was misogynistic, you must *really* hate twerking. I'm old enough to have danced all of those dances, minus twerking. It's been my pleasure to have played for many Sock Hops, even today, and the young and old still Swim, Twist, Frug, and Jerk to the oldies.
    Please, spare us your faux moralizing.
