For a better signal and for the radio to play louder, I would go on the front porch and held the radio up in front of the meter box for as long as I wanted to listen to the radio. Those were the good ole days.
That's like how I used to wrap my flat plastic add-on antenna attached to my stereo on the floor in a semi-circle to get a rock station that was a couple of hours away to come in.
My parents were born in 52' and I was born in 86' so I grew up with an appreciation for oldies but jaded by the turn of 21st century. But, I wish I could go back to those long road trips with my family listening to this music you can't find on the radio anymore. (Now with Sirius XM you can listen to the forgotten classics that remind you of your parents divorce and caused your complex PTSD) good times great oldies. Cool Earth 101.1
I lived in Salem, OR from 1964 until graduating HS in 1969. Part of our PE curriculum from at least the 6th grade on required us to have 9 weeks of dancing. I can't remember what year/grade I was in but I do remember learning this dance. Great memories and music.
Okay, you guys had me fooled! I thought I was watching a program from the early to mid-'60s! I was looking at the girls thinking my gosh they are grannies now... only to find out it was filmed in 2014! Ya gots to love them! We need more of this kinda stuff 🤗
I enjoyed this so much! I was a guest on one of these "Low Budget Late Shows"! I also entered & won quite a few "dance-offs" & "marathon dances" that were held at local "matinees" or indoor movie theaters that had stages back "in the day" (60's). There were also "rec [recreation center]" dances every weekend during the Summer, along w/ Drive-In movies. I can remember going to my first Beatles movie (A Hard Days Night) in the mid-60s. The girls in the audience were screaming so loud during the whole movie & we weren't able to hear anything! I first got a whiff of marijuana at a Beach Boys Concert in I think it was Santa Monica, CA, but I was pretty young when I went w/ a friend & her family, so I mainly remember the atmosphere, the crowd singing & dancing w/ the band, & all the refreshments we got! That's when I bought my first album. Boy did we have some clean fun back then! I don't know if teenagers today know what that's like.....actually interacting w/ others & engaging them in practical jokes, dances, or in playing street games like 4-square, kick ball, baseball, touch football, hide-n-seek, etc. until late into the night. The whole neighborhood would be involved, including parents cooking on the "Bar-B" (barbecue pits). In those days, many of us kept our doors unlocked or kept them opened, w/ only the screen door (yes, we had those) locked, during the Spring & Summer months. We never had to worry about burglars. We barely had 2 cents to rub together, but I wouldn't trade those memories for anything (except maybe Heaven).
I was born in 1962, had one of the first cell phones in the SF Bay Area, & now I see 👶🏼 newborns addicted to screens & parents happy to distract & morphine-drip screen time into every area. I got rid of tv in 1984- felt brainwashed! So, yeah. Real human interactions, play, good & bad, sometimes wonderful or horrible- but it was REAL! Tastes, smells, touches, sights, sounds of real people, in real places, doing human interactions. Video “Seeing” and “hearing” through an artificial screen & speaker are a new type of human “real” that we don’t yet know how it’ll impact us. But, the skyrocketing rates of social anxiety and autism kinda make one wonder… More violent crimes than in thirty years, likely due in part to desensitization from mass exposure and violent video games. Meanwhile, the trophies for “Best” killer of zombies cannot even run, jump, fight in real space and time, nor carry ANY of the “equipment” they get in the games… Fantasy No wonder this generation wants to grow up and be a unicorn… Ain’t no damned unicorns in the real world… Which it seems by merely saying so, one is “cancelled” by invisible people who probably bubble-wrap their 2.5 kids.
I grew up in 50's and 60's. I loved to dance. Electro swing incorporates bits and pieces of dances from the Charleston to 70's. Forgot the names,recognize the steps.thanks for the memories,keep them coming.
Released by The Orlons in May 1962. Got to #2 on the U.S. charts...and #5 on the R&B charts. Sold over 1,000,000 copies and started the "Watusi" dance craze....
OMG you kids are awesome it looks like an early broadcast from American bandstand complete with skinny ties retro dresses and ponytails. Love the camera in the way and the commentators talkin and suddenly realizing there on the air great take off on early television awesome dancing keep it up guys what a pleasure to watch 😁😁😁👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
I frankly had not seen this sort of dance since I was a teenager over fifty years ago. It is nice to watch and to remember so many things and to realize without thinking I dance a mix of rock, watusi twist and frugg whenever I go to parties.
was 10 years old when i first listen to this popular song and now 67 ...and I am so glad see these kids whose parents were not even born when this song was a hit .......good on them . fantastic !!
Most of them now don't have any decent voices for singing, just yelling or as in rap speaking the words to a beat which anyone can do. They didn't need to use obscenities either in lyrics to sell their music back then.
I'm right there with you, born in '53 myself. I'd give anything to relive the 60s and 70s. Growing up in San Diego County, I took it all for granted. 😢
I played drums in a good band at that time. Spontaneously the kids used to become like one big family on the dance floor. Made me feel beautifully happy inside when they would form into one gigantic chain and dance around the floor with laughter and joy.....
OMG, I was in 10th grade when this song came out. I remember two girls teaching me how to do this dance. I also think I dressed like the guys in this clip (back in the days before males torture themselves getting in and out of "skinny jeans" just for fashion). Love this group...such memories.
That is beautiful and real classy - brings back a lot of memories, a time of peace (before being drafted), freedom and innocence. Thank you for the memories, great choreography, cute dancers, and genuine fun, Ciao, L
@@CFITOMAHAWK2 Nope! It's 2014. That's when that show aired. I particularly researched this, because I was a teenager in the '60's, and the styles in this video didn't seem quite right. Ponytails were worn in the '50's, and those above-the-knees skirts would have been mini-skirts of about 1968. Anyway, check this out, and you'll see: ruclips.net/video/Nb-aL7nqAjs/видео.html. Also, please don't call people "dummies," OK? That just makes YOU look dumb.
I really enjoyed watching this that I want to learn the dance now! The girl in the green dress right next to the girl with the black dress (at the front) is really good. Actually they're both really good. These kids must be in their late 20s now...
Hi Hazelchief, most dance schools can teach you "Line Dance Choreographies" like this one along with steps that you could adapt to many different beats/styles of music. Good luck to you - great comment by the way, Ciao, L
@@lancelot1953 thank you! Appreciate your comment :) I don't know if they teach this kind of dancing at dance schools here in Australia. Not even sure if line dancing is still a thing here except maybe for the nutbush, haha. Oh well, I'll try to find some tutorial here on youtube somewhere :P
@@hazelchief-rabbit5903Hi Hazelchief - You are welcome! The choreography (i.e. the dance step sequence) that the KCTU dancers are performing are relatively simple moves. Most dance teachers, regardless of their expertise (ballroom, hip hop, modern, ballet-jazz, ...) should be happy to break the steps in "blocks" for you and recreate this performance for you. Actually, if you slow down this YT video, you can isolate each step (i.e. break them down in simpler moves) and "reassemble" them as you like. That is the way dancers create a pattern or a choreography. One thing to remember though, dancing is about "having fun" or enjoying it! BTW: A good line dance to start with is "Electric Slide Dance" which is an easy line dance to start with. Peace be with you and my compliments to members of the RAAF I had opportunity to fly combat missions with. Your compatriots are very dedicated and professional, Ciao, L
Happy to say the guy in the back (far right) very much reminds me of my future son-in-law. :) Love the 50s & 60s music and dance styles! Keep a song in your heart and never quit dancing, y'all! 🎼🎶🎵:) ☮️💓
That was cute and innocent fun. A great idea for a middle school or high school production set. Themed student-led shows depicting various eras through music and dance. Great set and costumes!
The girl in the middle in the front row is hands down the best dancer of the group. She has something--you can see it. The boys in the back row dance like I danced back in high school, and the way I guess I still dance at weddings. It's no good if you're not having fun. This was very kitschy and fun. Yes, we need more Low Budget Late Show dancing like this now.
The first time that I heard this song, I was listening with a 9 transistor AM radio that was powered by a little 9 Volt battery. Reception was better if I stood near a fence, which I did for hours on end.
I was just looking up which one mine was. It was red and perhaps merely Panasonic but the Eveready with the cat running through the 9.... that burns bright.
Wow! That was great! That girl in the front row with the above-the-knee floral dress really had the moves! I was 5 years old when this song came out. All the songs from this era were so fantastic & so many dances too. Seems like from a young age I always had a radio nearby & I remember all the songs from the early 60s (best music era ever IMO). Dances I can remember are: The Wah Watusi The Twist The Frug The Hully Gully The Pony The Jerk The Mashed Potato The Swim The Hitch Hike The Shake The Limbo The Freddie The Locomotion (from the song by Little Eva). So much fun & it's great to see all these young smiling faces having fun and doing this as a line dance. Great memories.
ADORABLE ❤🎉❤😂😂 Go Babies GO so Awesome !! Love this Song 🎉🎉😂
I can watch this again and again and still want to watch it....again.
ME TOO!
Me three. Where are all these people today? Very old, for sure... like me.
Yeah! 😊
And me. I wish i was up there them anyway.@@lwentz5510
No CGI? No edits every millisecond? Love it
The girl in the green in the front row was the best. I was fooled thinking it was 60's because of her. Great job!!!!!
My vote for best dancer is the young lady next to her in the black dress with yellow belt.
@@TheBullyMomma Why so? Is this a race thing? She made several mistakes.
@@dickiegreenleaf750 , Since I’m white I really doubt it. I like fluidity in a dancer and she was very smooth in her movements.

This was a number one record for The Orlons out of Philadelphia.
Yes, it definitely came out of Philadelphia. I saw the Orlons in person. One of the greatest groups, I ever saw. Very entertaining.
Wow! That was great! That girl in the front row with the above-the-knee floral dress really had the moves!
I was 5 years old when this song came out. All the songs from this era were so fantastic & so many dances too. Seems like from a young age I always had a radio nearby & I remember all the songs from the early 60s (best music era ever IMO).
Dances I can remember are:
The Wah Watusi
The Twist
The Frug
The Hully Gully
The Pony
The Jerk
The Mashed Potato
The Swim
The Hitch Hike
The Shake
The Limbo
The Freddie
The Locomotion (from the song by Little Eva).
So much fun & it's great to see all these young smiling faces having fun and doing this as a line dance.
Great memories.
She's the choreographer of the group which is why the cameras on her a lot
What about the Limbo? Wasn‘t that big back then? It had a revival when I was a kid in the 80s.
The frug?! I cannot wait to look this up
You guys really outdid yourselves - Wonderful video, great dancing!
So cute! Just love it. brings back the old days-even if I didn't learn the Watusi.
MrsScaredyCat oh i learned it but the real way!! On Saturday nites in my Cousin s room, our moves were so fine!!
