The guy in the big Sombrero had a huge one hit wonder with The Monster Mash.. I loved as a kid in the 60s..Their biggest hit, Keep on Dancing..Larry is still touring today and they often all get together..
One night flipping the cable box and recording VHS in the 80s and this movie came on A&E (fricken Animal Farm cartoon came on next). I saw this scene and this song... I was hooked on the Gentrys A few weeks later the toy company Worlds of Wonder released those""Little Boppers" toys commercial with Keep on Dancing as the soundtrack ...little Teddy Ruxpins dancing around 😃
I was always a huge WWF/WWE fan, & I always knew & loved the song "Keep On Dancing" from oldies stations, then in the '80s we found out that Jimmy Hart had been in the Gentrys -- But back in those pre-internet, pre-Google, pre-RUclips days, it was hard to find photos of the Gentrys & even harder to figure out which Gentry was Mouth Of The South because of his beard & sunglasses...But once you know which one he is, you can totally see it
@@FrankDiggz Jimmy is the singer standing to the left, Bruce Bowles is the singer to the right, Larry "Razz" is the lead singer & guitarist, Larry Wall is on drums, Pat Neal is on bass...There are no close-ups of the keyboard player, so not sure if it's Bobby Fisher or their producer/engineer Terry Manning standing in....Also their trumpet player Jimmy Johnson is listed in the movie credits, but I don't see him
Patrick P- at 0:12, Jimmy is the first Gentry on the left side of the screen. He's usually panned-and-scanned out of the frame when the film isn't shown letterboxed.
The best publicity a lot of these American garage bands got (if they couldn't get on Dick Clark) was being the "house band" in a 60s "beach" movie.. Of course, I say that, and then I recall seeing a "British" garage band called the Animals, who had a little bit more fame, singing "See See Rider" in one of these kind of "beach" movies, too
OMG I just saw the movie this morning. Very corny BUT... the bands in it surprised me. I had not seen this movie before. This group....was too much. The matching outfits. The hair. I was 13. So I never saw it back then. Don't think I ever saw it...until now. I do remember The Animals. Had a slight crush on Eric. SO totally forgot about The Castaways. Heard "Liar, Liar"....had to find that band on here. Wonder if I can find any cd's. If I come across any albums ... I'll grab them up. Such a silly fun time in life back then.
Hard to believe one of these guys would later have a career in wrestling! Watch and compare to the clip of AC/DC's Bon Scott performing with his old group the Valentines!
HOnky Tonk Man, in one of those shoot interviews, was asked about who was a big drug user/party animal, and when they got to Jimmy, HTM said he never saw him use any drugs ever, and then after a pause, said “...but he sure loved to chase the whores around!”
@Pete McArdle Jr I was at an indy show a few years back, met up with my sister and her boy, after the matches the gimmick tables had all shut down but Jimmy was there wrapping up and my sister asked if there was any chance she could get a selfie. "Sure thing baby." Didn't charge her or anything. He's just so cool and in control at all times. Anyway.
This was most definitely shot before the fame of the Monkees (but not released until 1967 for reasons unknown). I'd say Nov. 1965. If you look carefully, in the movie it is clearly Xmas time. There are other tell-tale clues as well to pinpoint the date when this move was filmed. E.g., John Steele was still in the Animals when this was filmed, but he was canned from that group in Dec. '65.
@@Charlesvermont1966 You're absolutely right. It was shot in November 1965 under a different title The Girl in Daddy's Bikini. It sat on the shelf until 1967 when Roger Corman, who financed it, unloaded it to AIP. AIP retitled it It's A Bikini World and passed it off as a Beach Party sequel since that series had wound down the year before and was one of their more profitable franchises.
@StuUngar I served in the navy with a black guy whose older brother went to school with Jimmy. Said he was the only white guy in school. I don't think that's true, but he can definitely talk smack.
Jimmy is the singer with the darker hair and the white t-shirt underneath the red jacket. Looks A LOT different without his trademark crazy hair, doesn't he?
I would love to know where all of the folks are today that were out there dancing. sadly, most of the young men probably had to go to Vietnam, so their chance of survival to 2020 is pretty slim. 😢
Quite poignant and incredible when you think about it. The juxtaposition of these people singing, dancing and mindlessly enjoying themselves contrasting with the atrocious and barbaric Vietnam War.

Hulk Hogan on bass guitar. Good stuff

LMFAO and he wrote the song
He was there brother
Glad you recognize brother! -HH
This works for me brother 💪

Their later hits like “Why Should I Cry” and “Cinnamon Girl” were great.

for some reason there are no close-ups of the keyboard player, so not sure who it is, Bobby, Larry, or Terry
Awesome video
The song is Spread It On Thick. It was The Gentrys first single. The lead singer and guitarist on the right is Larry Raspberry.
What a catchy song this is:)

The Animals also made a performance cameo in this movie
@@Tarantulisimo Which is precisely the one I am referring to
Come on baby you can do it!
The guy with the chinos and no shirt has got the moves!
That's professional dancer Bobby Banas! Look him up, there's some greeeeeat clips of him getting wild in the 60s
@@cameronfahey5122 Nice!thanks for the tip!

I had no idea another beloved dance clip was the same guy, so awesome!!!

And the guy in the sombrero is Bobby Pickett who sang Monster Mash...So you know even more..lol
@@Veekator wow! That is really a cool bit of info. Monster Mash is a jam.
This band had some of the cutest guys! As a matter of fact, most of the guys in the 60's were cute!
Here from Ben Mallah’s RUclips video with his bestie Jimmy Hart.

cool
Almost didn’t recognize him without the megaphone
Wow I didn't realize that was"The Mouth of the South".I like this movie,corny as it may be, I DVR'ed it recently off of TCM.
Hard to believe one of these guys would later have a career in wrestling!

Jimmy probably got more poon than the greatest rock bands of all time
HOnky Tonk Man, in one of those shoot interviews, was asked about who was a big drug user/party animal, and when they got to Jimmy, HTM said he never saw him use any drugs ever, and then after a pause, said “...but he sure loved to chase the whores around!”
He could probably still get any woman he wants

@@petemcardlejr1594 whores?🤔👎
It is neat to know that both Jimmy and Captain Spaulding's actor was in the same movie not the same scene
If you looks at the two guys in the back kinda dancing the guy with the dark hair bowl cut on the left is wresting manager Jimmy Hart
Ben brought me to jimmy
Same
They recorded many better songs, but it's rare to find a color clip of one of the great garage bands of the mid 60s.
Keep on Dancing was their biggest hit..Still hear often on the radio and tv shows and commercials..lol Larry Raspberry is still touring
Who was the idiot that left that lamp there?
.
that's to make it look & seem like an actual room instead of a soundstage - typical beach movie set device
The DECOR RULES!!!!!
once you realize which one is Jimmy Hart, then it's obvious
Sid Haig and Jimmy Hart were in the same movie look up The Animals in this movie the guy who introduced The Animals
Definitley sounds way better than the Hulk Hogan album that came out in the 90s
Gentry's are dressed like the Monkees in this film.
Jimmy Hart was a great pro wrestling manager.
It was shot around the time the Monkees pilot was- late 1965-early 1966.
This was most definitely shot before the fame of the Monkees (but not released until 1967 for reasons unknown). I'd say Nov. 1965. If you look carefully, in the movie it is clearly Xmas time.

Which one is Jimmy hart?
Jimmy actually kinda favored Anthony Kiedis from RHCP! :)
Sponsored by Franco American!
The bass player at 0:53 kind of looks like Daniel Tosh.
Pat Neal I believe
The girl at 18 sec.....can you get any cuter?
hall o fame
These guys look like they don't want to be there😢
Growing up, I always thought Jimmy Hart was black
@StuUngar I served in the navy with a black guy whose older brother went to school with Jimmy. Said he was the only white guy in school. I don't think that's true, but he can definitely talk smack.
Which one is Jimmy ?
+Patrick P 1:03 on the left
Jimmy is the singer with the darker hair and the white t-shirt underneath the red jacket. Looks A LOT different without his trademark crazy hair, doesn't he?
He looks dark complected like he might be Indian?
I think more likely some kind of spanish
No, not Spanish. Something more native to Mississippi--like Chickasaw!
These grps, the gentrys, did'nt makes its...eithersnaleo big deals
ain't commenting ron
What is the name of the song?
Spread It on Thick
"Spread It on Thick".
It was their 2nd highest
charting single.
It reached #50 in early 1966.
I would love to know where all of the folks are today that were out there dancing. sadly, most of the young men probably had to go to Vietnam, so their chance of survival to 2020 is pretty slim. 😢
That cute girl dancing with the guy in the Sombrero died in 2008....
@michael jordan she is a credited actress in the movie this clip is from. Its on the Imdb site.
@@johncooper7663 The guy with Sombrero is the late Bobby"Monster Mash"Pickett.
Quite poignant and incredible when you think about it. The juxtaposition of these people singing, dancing and mindlessly enjoying themselves contrasting with the atrocious and barbaric Vietnam War.
What culture anyone?
where is jimmy hart ?
At the 0:12 mark, the first Gentry on the left.
I don’t like this song at all but I do like the gentries they were all very very good band and they had a lot of good songs
Believe it or not, this was
their 2nd highest chart single.
"Spread It on Thick" charted
at #50 in early 1966.
Far left Mouth of the South
Can you say , no talent.
What’s wrong with their performance? Musically. The singing? Rhythm? The writing?
I can, but that doesn't apply to this
Can you say
"Larry is a dumb@$$" ???
now that seriously sucked.. despite these being talented guys.. super douche is the only thing that adequately describes this experience.
loosen up -- it's a cheesy '60s beach movie, dumb & fun.....50 years from now, people are gonna think that all your '80s movies suck
The good old days. All White people with no stupid looking tattoos.
