American Bandstand - January 7, 1967 FULL EPISODE PART 1 -Rango

- Опубликовано: 22 янв 2021
- Happy New Year, 1967!
Today’s episode has the infamous “Rango” Rate-A-Record. This was often cited by Dick Clark (and others) as one of, if not the most, difficult and strangest songs ever played on Rate-A-Record. Our own Don Sanuskar, along with Deedra Higgins, had the happy task of dancing on the riser during this classic AB moment. (Well done Don!) I’m not too surprised they played Frankie Laine’s song, as promoting other ABC shows was fairly common on Bandstand, but I am surprised at how high it was rated at 82 ½?!? June Strode even thought it might become a hit!
Today’s episode also has a nice mix of the great music of the mid 60’s including Motown, British Invasion, Psychedelic, and American pop. Watch for Dick Clark to, sort of, dance along at his podium to “Snoopy vs. the Red Baron”.
Neil Diamond singing “Solitary Man” is one of my favorite AB guest appearances….good call Roni Menacker. When Neil was singing “You Got To Me”, I wonder if Frank Vanderpuil was thinking “hey, that’d be a good song to swing dance to”. He and Judy Michaud will win the ’67 Swing Dance Contest 3 months later, dancing to this song.
“Rango” ran for 17 episodes in the Winter and Spring of ’67. It looks pretty funny, (despite the politically incorrect Pinkcloud, yikes) Did anyone watch it?
In the Billboard Hot 100 today:
1) I’m A Believer - The Monkees
2) Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron - The Royal Guardsmen
3) Tell It Like It Is - Aaron Neville
4) Winchester Cathedral - The New Vaudeville Band
5) Sugar Town - Nancy Sinatra
7) Good Thing - Paul Revere & the Raiders
8) Words of Love - The Mamas and the Papas
28) Color My World - Petula Clark
40) Mame - Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
47) I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night) - The Electric Prunes
88) It Takes Two - Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston (new on the charts this week)
While the ’21 new year here in the U.S. is off to an “eventful” start, I hope YOUR new year has been, and continues to be, much more riot and Covid free. Here’s to a better rest-of-2021!
Thank you for watching and thank you for all of your comments. Even when I haven’t posted anything, I still get about 30-40 comments a day and I read them all (for better or for worse, lol).
It’s 2021 and I still live between the years 1964-67! Great Music, TV, Cars, Movies, beautiful girls, and a simpler life! It seems to me that people got along better back then! My heart is still stuck in that era! On January 7, 1967, I turned 8 years old!
I was 8 too!!
Me too!
I was born in 67 & Love the music from this year more than anything.
Thank You Aaron. I hope everything is well with you & your Family.
For my 8th birthday in '67 I received a transistor radio - what a year to start listening to popular music !
Man...Your old! Lol...
@@deannasalem9195 Yeah and I'm really starting to feel it too. 🙃

Why would we be commenting on American Bandstand if we weren't older?
Wow thank you for starting the new year off right . With a trip back to 1967 wow all I can say is again thank you.
My pleasure @Jim Smith. Welcome back to 1967!
Very cool to see this fresh 1967! Fresh Peggy & Frank! Fresh baby Don and so many others, plus Rango, Neil Diamond and Dentyne. What more could you want?
More FAMOUS HOOKS & JUDY STRODE !!!
So miss Dick Clark .Used to watch American bandstand back in the early 60's.
What a surprise! And the greatest year ever to boot! Thank you!
LOVE the intro by The Mama's and the Papa's!
That was Mama Cass gone solo.😎
Holy Cow! Thank you Aaron for coming back and giving us memories to take us back to our youth "the good old days". Missed you, thought about you and so happy you are back. Hope you are doing well. I'll comment more later when I have more time to watch 😊. Hi everyone 👋.
I was 7 and my sister was 17. I was always with her. I loved the way she danced and the way she teased her hair and used white rain hairspray. I really miss her and the good music and dancing. This really brings back great memories. Thank You So Much.
At the very end of " Mame" when Jonathan Pollard throws his arms out in time to that "zing" sound I always get a chuckle no matter how many times I have watched.
Thank you for posting this episode, great as usual.
My pleasure!
@@YCDTI I decided to re-visit this episode, but I can't seem to find part 2...Is there a link to it somewhere?
@@oldiesgeek454 unfortunately part 2 was blocked. Too bad too - I really loved Neil Diamond performing “Solitary Man”. I’m going to put up all my blocked clips and episodes on Internet Archive at some point.
@@YCDTI I thought that might've been the reason, but just thought I'd ask anyway... Thanks. 😊
Right on Aaron. Knew you'd figure out a workaround!
Ha, ha, thanks Don. I will not be deterred (hopefully, fingers crossed) It’s such a fun episode, I was excited to share it....perhaps to your chagrin, lol. I’ve always enjoyed watching this classic RAR. You and Deedra did so great!
@@YCDTI LOL Aaron. I've come to embrace that riser dance as a classic "now how the heck are we gonna dance this one out?". ;--)
@@YCDTI I was in a real state!!! Had already sent Don a text "I just got the notification and its gone!!" Hahahaha!! 😆
And so begins the best year ever in music. BTW, Great Shakes were really good. Wish they were still around.
Love seeing these vintage episodes of "AB"-Thanks for posting!
@youcandancetoit Welcome back! I love watching these vintage AB episodes. I see the Carnaby street look in the hairstyles starting to emerge, fashion not so much in 1/67.
1967 was the year I graduated from West High in Torrance, Calif. We has are senior night at Disneyland, those were the days my friend...
I used to live in Torrance many many years ago. I was about 1.5 miles away from North Torrance High School. But it looks like you were closer to PV Drive attending West Torrance High.
Oh yes, the sponsors are a real treat!
You're back Aaron! I hope you're doing well and thank you for this amazing epsiode!
Tonight's date in 1967 The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game would appear on Saturday nights up till 1971.
Hey! Welcome back Aaron! What a way to make a big splash for the new year. Yes I agree that Don's dance on the riser to Rango is one for the ages. We sure could have used some new uploadses a few weeks ago to ease our minds, but better late than never. Also spotted in today's upload was Leonard Smith and the other Maureen Cohen. I think you only saw that one, not the other one (lol!). Looking forward to watching part two. Stay safe one and all! Thanks for all your hard work getting these up.
That one, not the other one...Happy New Year @Bill Ritter.
@@dancerdon9175 Back at you, Happy New Year!
Thanks Bill. It’s nice to see you and everyone here again. Sorry for not posting sooner. I really wanted to, especially after the insurrection, but I just wasn’t able to get to it. I appreciate your comment.
Plz do more full episodes!! I love watching these!!!😃
Happy new year everyone!! Welcome back, Aaron! So great to see this episode from my favorite year for music!!
Ditto @bob343536
Thank you @bob343536 It’s nice to see you again too.
Hmmm...I’d be so hard pressed to pick my favorite year for music. It would be ‘64, ‘65, ‘66’, ‘67 or ‘68. Too hard to pick, lol
I appreciate your comment
@@YCDTI over the summer, I drew a cartoon version of American Bandstand in 1967. I also drew a cartoon version of a 1970’s disco. If possible, I’d like to share them. Please let me know if I can.
@@bob343536 I’d love to see them! Feel free to email them to me
counters61971@gmail.com
Thanks
@@YCDTI Awesome! I just sent it. Thank you, Aaron!!
14 yrs old that year oh what a different 🌎
IMy grandparents were in Vietnam, @ this time, my parents weren't born until 1975, my sisters and me were born in 1997-1999. I am a musician, and we do 1965-2023. Ultimately, I want a hit record. Back to the story at hand: the girl says she is 16, meaning she was born in 1950! She is pushing 74 now. I am fascinated about time. Literally, missing time, parallel time. going back in time. These videos are a snapshot in time. This will always be from January 7, 1967. I never heard of or seen( my parents either,) that great shakes stuff. It looks great. God bless everyone here, and also a big thank you, for whomever is responsible for this fantastic video. February 2, 2024, 1:56 AM , in Cleveland.
I LOVE this whole episode!! Don is rockin' on out with Robin and Deedre. Hey Don, why were you dancing with Deedre? I spotted Danny on the bleachers and later back with Deedre. I think we've asked this before....anybody ever fall off the riser???
Peg and Frank looked lively as always, except Frank didn't appear to be overly fond of line dancing to Rango. Picky picky picky! 😉 24:34 Frank did give Peg's sister Dona a smooth turn on the floor to Good Thing. Who said there was no interracial dancing? 25:08 Famous and Marsha Silverman looked great together.
Neil Diamond looked like a baby! He clearly was uncomfortable during the "You Got To Me" instrumentals. One of the ladies should've grabbed him for a dance to get back to his vocals!
My hubs saw the Electric Prunes about 1967 in Paducah Kentucky. EP and Left Bank opened for a very late, drunk and stoned Beach Boys. But no one cared. 😀
Aaron thank you so much for this great surprise! I have missed you and all of the regulars on this channel. Everyone has been such a blessing to me. Upload again Aaron....you sure know how to make make me smile!!! Like everyone we are waiting on the date for our vaccine, and still masking up. Everyone take care and get vaccinated as soon as possible. Love ❤ you all!!! J. ❤
Happy New Year Jean
Hi Jean, Rango was not Frank’s cup of tea (probably like most people) but I thought he did well under the circumstances.
Good to hear from you Jean. I’ve been fortunate enough to get both shots, with no side effects. The problem right now is that there are a lot more people that want it than there are shots available. That will change soon hopefully. When it’s available, yes, everyone (without severe allergies) should go get the vaccine! Thanks Jean and Happy New Year!
@@YCDTI I miss you Aaron! Glad to know you are vaccinated!
@@AmericanBandstandAgain hi Andrew!! How are you? I have missed everyone. So glad Aaron brought us this wonderful video today! Thank you for your greeting. Stay safe Andrew. 🎆❤
@@thefirstMrsLankton whenever I think of you, I think of the song Kentucky Woman
Welcome back! It's been such a slow 6 weeks since the last post, nothing much has happened in this country. But seriously, nothing much has happened with the vaccines, hopefully that will soon change. About this episode, I remember watching "Rango" on Friday nights after my favorite show "The Time Tunnel". That's all I remember about "Rango", I don't remember Norman Alden but I do remember him as the man who drowned in a bowl of chicken soup on "Mary Hartman Mary Hartman". Frankie Laine's "Rango" might have been a worthy follow-up to his 1949 hit "Mule Train". That other r-a-r song was totally forgettable and those 2 critics seemed to have a tambourine fetish. Time for me to flip over to part 2 and maybe post a comment there.
Thanks for a new post - loving it! Stay well and safe.
Glad you're back Aaron. Now I need some time to watch this.
Great Shakes...Da doo ron ron.
I was only 8 but I watched it! Hey I had some of that great shakes!
Probably my favorite ,month for music in my whole life. Late 66 - early 67. Thank you for posting this whole episode. 8)))
8 days later Super Bowl I would be played.
Ah, good note! Very true...and it was the Packers vs. the Chiefs. We may have a rematch in a few weeks. :)
@@YCDTI Super Bowl 40 had The Rolling Stones as halftime performers and on Jan 15th 1967 Super Bowl I The Rolling Stones would be on Ed Sullivan after the game.
@@YCDTI We're actually seeing a rematch of the 1966 AFL Championship and the 1993 AFC Championship: Buffalo Bills v. Kansas City Chiefs.
@@stevieg7672 Only thing missing in the NFL game in 66 is Dallas and missing in the 93 game NFC is Green Bay. It’s like that song goes It’s just history repeating.
OMG! To have to dance to Rango!!
1967, when music started to step it up notch.... Not sure about "Snoopy vs The Red Baron"
That was a good song
@@rhondahancock96 yes it was, it was a big hit. Stay safe and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia, USA
@@usmc-veteran73-77 Alabama here
@@rhondahancock96 beautiful State. Ive driven through too. If you are a BAMA football fan, the Head Coach Nick Saben is a native West Virginian.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 Roll Tide! Nick is one of the greatest coaches in the history of football!
Thanks for the post Aaron! Could you post the November 9th full episode soon? I can’t wait to see that one!
My pleasure @Rickyticky Katz. If you mean the 11/9/63 episode, it’s coming soon. I haven’t forgotten.
Great thanks,Yes that’s the one! Sorry I forgot to mention it was 1963.
Those poor kids struggled to dance to the Rango theme, lol. I would have, too.
Sure hope this one gets colorized Aaron. The kids looked like they were having a ball and it makes me wish i could have been there. The nostalgic black and white is still cool but the color just adds so much more life ..
YAAAAAY!!! You're back!!! Now life is good ☺☺☺
Aaron, happy new year and great to have you back in 2021. Looking forward to new videos in 2021, stay well.
Heck I was in 11th grade when these songs were hits!
Love seeing the racial harmony on the dance floor ...it used to be like this...
That's why I always liked AB because it was multicultural and everyone danced together liked nobody's business.
@@AdrianDeVore so true!
It's supposed to be like that ALWAYS ❤️😘💋
@@annahshoffner1871 yes, absolutely!
I notice that too, to bad things are like they are now!
At 20:30, showing teens at the beach - I was never a teenager, I called myself a rectangle square ... still am. Since I was 14, from that time to my age 68, and forever I keep away from the stinking beach ...
Wish I was. part of this era. I was born in 69. Saw 2 cute girls who look Spanish and probably are sisters. The second girl was cute 😍 with a black jacket over her white blouse. They were sitting together and got up with another guy who may be their brother to dance. Great dancers!!!
Famous Hooks and June Strode!!!
At 12:15, in 1967 I'm sure I would've tried that Great Shakes stuff, but I never heard of it until now. I kept getting Fizzies alot, though. 😊
It's is January 7,1967
Famous in 1967:
Michael Landon
Adam west
Sidney Poitier
Warren Beatty
R,I,P, Michael Landon, I am still watching re-runs of little House on the Prairie, ✌️☘️
"Colour my world" is another great dance track. Obviously you need the rythym and the right drum beat.
R.I.P. Tim Conway, Sr. Rango probably should have been a sketch on The Carol Burnett Show rather than a weekly series. Tim's comment that the 2nd week would be a re-run was classic! I'm surprised the revisionist 'cancel culture' movement hasn't had this episode banned with the now-inappropriate White Cloud character.
LOVED SEEING FAMOUS HOOKS AND MARSHA DANCING AND HOLDING HANDS DOING IT 👍🏽 !!
Ok, I had to stop by here to see what Aaron is up to..we had not seen anything in a while from this channel for a while. But I had to because I was tired of hearing a lot of bad news the past few days and weeks with the loss of legends we grew up with, especially if you are a baseball fan. And I am watching this episode on my tee vee too!! You kids who are still with us, especially the AB regulars saw history too when a woman became Vice President.
But other than that, Rango was a short lived series. I wondered if there are film that was existed when many television stations destroyed their tapes..
Fun fact: Snoopy’s creator Charles M. Schultz sued the songwriters of “Red Baron” after they used the beagle’s name without permission. In spite of that, the song reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966.
Dancer Don made the most of that “Rango” song with his hop..And I betcha these kids were wondering “What in the heck we are dancing 💃🏻 to?”
Happy to see all my regulars like Famous, June, the nerd ( John Pollard) and the rest with these clips took me back and help me escape the mess we are having in this country in spite of electing a good and decent President for a change.
Thanks Aaron for this escape. Hope to see part two soon!
Great to see you again @Gayle Lecus. These shows help me sort of escape everything that’s going on too, at least for a few minutes. Great insights too!
One for the ages @Gayle Lecus. Agreed, we needed this upload today. Happy 2021 with long-awaited optimism.
I've often wondered, if they threw in a few seconds of Hang On Sloopy, just to poke fun at the fact some people mistakingly thought the McCoy's were saying Hang on "Snoopy". 🤔
If That's life by Frank Sinatra was number 1, instead of number 2, do you honestly think would've played it?... I doubt it. Can you imagine seeing them dancing to a song their parents would approve of? 😊
Celebrities are 32 in 1967:
Lee Remick
Robert Conrad
Dihann Caroll
Oh my, I was 3 weeks old then.
I only had four more days in the oven...
Don't tell me, SHOW ME!
I was 16 then
Think the monkees number 1 that week
The Wordd is outta sight
that was a damn good tune! Wonder why it went nowhere. '67 was one of the most competetive years in pop history, so it faced some heavy-hittin' competition.
Not a full episode:(
Well where the singer at lol.
Never heard of You’re Gonna make me the word. Not a good song.
