I believe they were a little more Cerebral then a lot of other groups, especially as displayed through some of their other creative works such as Letter to the Beatles.
Down by the station was always a great song, ... but whoever it was about was a naughty boy! 😏 BTW, the 4 Preps version was actually a parody of an earlier one done by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. It had mostly different lyrics.
This illustrates Dick Clark's payback for a prior practical joke played by the Four Preps. He placed a blob of fake vomit on their mark. You can clearly see them notice it,..
Love The Four Preps, mainly "Big Man". Dick Clark going western apparel...and with a fake BEARD & MUSTACHE?! Now I've seen everything! That's DEFINITELY not Dick Clark's look! WOW!! That's too funny!
Dick Clark -- I hardly recognized him before he started talking due to the fake beard & old-timer costume! Lol! He helped make a LOT of singers famous. My sister never missed his American Bandstand show!
Classic television and song! Love it! Thanks so much :))
What happened to those days? I was born in 1964, and I figure it was about 20 years too late. Of course my parents may disagree.
As always, I love to watch them perform in their heyday.
At 2:14 the two guys on the right saw something evidently REALLY funny.
Their song was a parody of an earlier one. Look up the Tommy Dorsey version.
Good song
I love the last 2 verses: The philandering singer got his comeuppance, while life went on about him.
Ed Cobb the tall one wrote Tainted love, Dirty Water,and many more hits

This is a very old song. Even before the 60s.

toot, toot!! Suanni River. chug, chug.
where did all these groups come from 4 preps 4 aces 4 lads 4 freshmen crew cuts etc.?
No , the tall one was Ed Cobb.
Correct...
SCTV did a parody of this group called
5 Neat Guys.
What about the Brothers Four ?
funny song, but no comparison to the classic "Big Man"....
I wish I could've been Back UP
It looks like Glen is the only one who actually has a gun and that is a strap to stabilize it.
the tallest was hot!!!
The tall one is not Ed Cobb it's Marve Ingram, RIP.
Who is the host ?
Dick Clark! He hosted American Bandstand.
