The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

Michelle singing into the banana will be forever iconic
Why did she do that
@@TDH24Live it was in protest of lip syncing
Passive aggressive
Because she likes banana ... That's simple. 😆
@@93200Jonas and...who was the bannana , here?
The best "I don't want to lip sync" protest performance ever.
its not really a protest, more like "i dont give a fuck" , it was just a random moment. She said: "There was a fruit bowl, i felt akward , didnt know what to do with my hands , so i just took a banana and eat it".
Whatever it was, It made the show!
You should check out the performance when Nirvana was supposed to lip sync once and refused. As a compromise, Kurt was allowed to sing live, which he took advantage of by singing in a really bored manner and with a absurdly deep voice. And he didn't even play his guitar, while Krist (bass) went completely nuts and Dave just hit his drums completely randomly. It is absolutely hilarious, especially when you have heard the song a lot..
@@gclip9883 I immediately thought of this when I read the comment.
No one will ever beat Nirvanna. The show refused to let them play their instruments. They made sure no one ever tried it again.
Kurt sang in slow motion, and even deep throated the mic
Hot damn Michelle was mesmerizingly beautiful. She used to take my breath away. I was three years younger than her. She’s now 79 and I’m 76 and still adore her.
She's absolutely breathtaking.
Sam bence fazla vaktin kalmamış , git acilen aşkını itiraf et ve ona muzunun olduğunu söyle
I agree with you. I was 9 at the time of this vid and completely in love.
It would still be another 30 years before I was born but she is beautiful.
" I was .." You still ARE 3 years younger, you both are alive
casually talking to each other as the playback does its thing is a mood
He was saying, " Put down that Bannana or I am ...."
@@StationRussificationwell she proceeds to set down and leave behind the microphone. He seems very jovial as she sets up the prop and grabs the inflatable globe. I think they were all having fun with the ridiculous nature of pretending to perform their hit song.
it spoils it when they make it obvious that its not live.
I love how shot is zoomed at that moment exactly
All the leaves are brown and the skies are grey, this banana I'm eating is quite okay
😂😂
Amazing, my thoughts exactly.
Lol 😂🤣
They're high as shit
She was protesting being forced to Lip Sync
Even though they are "miming" the song, you can still hear Cass Elliott singing over the recording. Bless her.
This one for some reason sounds different to me, like it does have a more live sound to it.
Sullivan never let groups lip sync. His sound crew was notoriously horrid, so big groups like the Mamas and the Papas, Rolling Stones, etc. would bring their own sound people. The poor Cowsills didn't bring their own and the sound cut out during the second half of The Rain, The Park and Other Things.
Based on Cass and Doherty's vocals in this performance, it isn't entirely mimed. It sounds like they're singing over the album track with live mics and their vocals are buried.
@@fouresterofthetrees287 I don't believe that for a second. It sounds exactly like the record, down to Doherty harmonizing to his own singing.
I thought Cass had gone solo by the time this was aired.
I love it, Michele was upset about having to lipsync so she made a mockery of it all 🤣 classic
I'm so glad you explained it, I couldn't figure it out from all the other comments saying the same thing
@@sarahsmatter1160 you feel better about yourself taking time out of your day to say some dumb shit? 🤣
She wasn't. She herself said that she felt awkward, saw the banana and just took it. It wasn't a protest and she wasn't upset. This band has done a lot of performances where they lipsynced without making a problem out of it.
It's a nice story but unfortunately just that.
I love how you can low key hear Cass actually singing in it
This was one of the most rebellious Ed Sullivan performances I've seen via the internet with Michelle eating a banana, John and her socializing during their "performance", Denny throwing around the mic singing through the audio sometimes, and Mama Cass killing it with her belting voice breaking through the pre made audio
Jim Morrison was more rebellious 😂
@@user-mz9yx3dk9b they probably meant the group as a whole , instead of just the one person.
@@selenabonilla2281 Right
@@user-mz9yx3dk9b I agree with you. Before the show Ed Sullivan had asked Jim not to sing the line " Girl we couldn't get much higher", and of course Jim sang it, ha ha.
@@stanislav182000 That (Morrison incident) occurred exactly one week before this performance. Sullivan did not want a repeat performance, and the M&Ps were not happy they were forced to lip-sync.
In my lifetime I have never ever seen a person eat while singing, even if it was lip singing.
I actually saw Cliff Richard eating a carrot while singing!!! Well, it was in rehearsal actually but you can find it on RUclips.
John Lennon chewed gun when he sang.
Check out Atomic Rooster's Chris Farlow eating a sandwich doing "Black Snake" live.
@@stephenscanlon9763 Yeah! And in their Cavern Club days they would take several bites of a burger while singing😂
Gruff from Super Furry Animals ate a packet of crisps (potato chips) during a live performance of Receptacle for the respectable.
This song and especially this video takes me back to a time where I wasn't born.
lmao. I think my mom listened to this when she was pregnant with me. This is my all time favorite song. And trust me I am up on all the new artists and listen to them too. Something about this one....haunting yet happy
It’s so nostalgic yet i wasn’t born
I'm listening. It's 2nd April 2024. Fabulous harmonies. I can remember this . I'm 75.😂
I found a clip of it on Instagram and came to check it out
I'm here with you and I searched for this!
I’m here April 4, 2024. Great music.
I remember so no dementia yet.
Я тоже в 75
I listened to a video about The Mamas and The Papas. They said that they were forced to lip sync when they played on tv shows.
Her eating the banana was her way of Rebeling about it.
The Mamas and The Papas, no apostrophes needed.
That's when protests truly were peaceful.
I love this
No, she was very stoned
@@bobupen6476 came to comment just the same.
So impressive. Even while performing she still worries about her potassium intake
Maybe she still love bananas 😂🤣
They were singing to a recording.
That was a playback
Girls eatin banana's is impressive full stop👌😜🍌
They didn't pay my bills.
Michele has a timeless beauty. She looks like a girl straight out of a Miss Universe pageant.
I wish todays music was still like this
This is a very cool performance! Michelle eating a banana, John talking to Michelle during the song, Denny throwing the mic around, and Mama Cass really belting out the lyrics over the record!
They were rebelling because they were forced to lip sync
Theres always this melancholy that follows that feeling of nostalgia
This song in particular just conveys those 2 emotions beautifully
2:10 that's all Mama Cass
First- it sounds like they are lip syncing, second- it was just a little too casual. It is an insult to the audience and to Sullivan to talk to each other during filming and for Michell to be eating the banana, third- them grabbing props and moving them around in the middle of the song looks unprofessional and disorganized.
I love the song and I love them, but this performance is dismaying.
@@rogerfreed6414 theyre doing that in protest to being forced to lipsync
Love how Michelle loses her microphone and ends the song singing into a banana
I loled
Classic! The banana mic.
LMAO
shes so high xD
A real banana Mic :D
Michelle was something else back then. wow. stunning.
I am a heavy metal fan but I feel this is one of the best songs ever. Chills every time 🩷💜
Cass Elliots strong "background" vocals make this song. Her harmonizing takes it to another level. Her voice soars over all others.
It is easy for a woman to sing when she weighs 450 pounds. The trick is what Michelle Phillips does by singing when she weighs 110 pounds - while eating a banana 🍌 at the same time.
@@118Columbus What a bitter person. Checking your calories is all you do eh?
@@118Columbus It is a record they are lyp syncing. There are many tell tales eating the banana and singing is only one. Guitar player forgets to play guitar at start of song. Then at 1:11 he talks but it does not pick up. Also guitar player never has microphone through entire song. Girls voices are doubled. They are lip singing there was no technology to sound like that live back then.
@@vampirexion Well perhaps if Mama Cass had spent more time counting her calories instead of stuffing her face full of jelly donuts then she would not have died at age 27 from morbid obesity and hardening of the arteries. The doctor who performed the autopsy wrote in his report that her heart had an implied age of 84! Obesity is a disease which needs to be treated not glorified! I am trying to help her out. Michelle Phillips is simply radiant and color television after all is a visual medium. Even though I have an 85-inch TV, it can not show all of Mama Cass' chins!
@@118Columbus Michelle was barely audible in this and most other songs. Cass was at least 450 times the artist she was.
Fifty-four years later and this song still resonates on so many levels.
....tears come to my eyes...i was 23 in 1967...in the Jewell by the bay San Francisco.
@@Dragon43ishI was born in the bay area, but our family left when I was 13. I miss it, and I miss The Mamas & the Papas too!😔
Fr tho ...its such a weird happiness warm feeling that i cant explain it feel so good
Энергии там море
@@Dead00017 I know. I wasn't even born until the 1980s but THIS ONE song does something to me that no other song does. It's as though I'm feeling nostalgia for a life I used to live but that's impossible. In nearly 40 years no other song does this to me. Sure- songs from my earlier years give me happy nostalgia for those times but this particular song gives me almost a familiarity and longing for that time. I don't know what it is,
I was born in the 80s and fall inlove with this song when my father plays this in my childhood ❤
Truly live, no lip syncing. Banana power.
THE Performances at the Ed Sullivan Shows were LIVE!

WHAT A GREAT TIME TO GROW UP IN THE 1960 S!! HOW I MISS THOSE YEARS. HEARING THIS MUSIC WHILE SERVING IN THE US NAVY MADE IT EVEN BETTER .
What is it about this era that is so magical? I'm born in 1987 so theres no nostalgia factor here. But theres a distinct sound of the mid 60s and early 70s that hits my soul in a way I cant even begin to explain.
I know what you mean! I am older, a kid in the 60s, but it still remains my favorite decade.
I think because there was truly a feeling of "hope" that the world could become a "better place", whatever that means, and that music could be a big part of making that happen.
Looking back on it now, it was probably naive, grandiose, and silly, but that kind of thinking was in the air for artists and young people who listened to the music.
I am of that era (born in 57), so yes the nostalgia is so strong it hurts at times to listen to these songs and watch the performances. And I'm sure there are many talented
musicians being born today who would be capable of creating songs like this, but unfortunately most of the stuff you hear on mainstream playlists today are pure, unadulterated autotuned garbage.
@@jaykay6387 good point. I really cant do all that autotune garbage either >
Born in 87 too and can’t agree more. I’ve always been obsessed with music from this era.
I was born in ‘99 and totally feel you. The music of the 60’s/70’s has always had my heart and I feel so connected to it. Bless my parents for raising me on such good music
Surely the most surreal pop performance ever seen on the Ed Sullivan Show!
I was born 25 years after this song came out and yet I feel nostalgic for a time I never lived trough. Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

Consider the following. We are as far from 1967 as the early 90's was from the year 2000. Very good music from 2000 can still be heard on the radio. California dreaming was very much on the radio or sung on street corners by people hustling for change in the 1980's and 1990s IT is nostalgia for a time you lived through.
You have a musician's spirit.
That’s called nostalgia. And yes people that experiment that feeling can feel nostalgic for times that they weren’t alive.
Past lives lul
Are they supposed to be lip syncing. I like how one of them just eats a banana.
It’s really strange. It’s got to lip syncing as some barely use their mics. Thinking that was pretty standard for singers on these older shows.
.. It sounded like the girls mics were "on" .. I did hear Cass singing an extra note near the end of the song ..
.. As for acts on Ed Sullivan, it was a mix between live singing and lip syncing .. For example, the Dave Clark Five always lip synced their performances, whereas The Beatles sang live .. it just depended on the performer ..
They were probably stoned
@@paulknight9998 that what I think
Sometimes the backup singers would pre-record a "live" track while the main singer would be live on a solo mic. It's hard to tell sometimes with these Sullivan performances. At 1:09 it looks like John is speaking about something as his lips do not match the words and it seems like you can almost hear him.
This is fantastic. Everyone just just having fun, messing around so we know they're having to lip-sync. I love that Cass had a live mic and sings a 5th harmony over the track and has SUCH a voice she is almost as loud as the speaker system.
they were all prob high
@@slenderboy1662 I'm certain they were.
Yeah I love that you can hear Cass’s voice above everything else😍 every time she goes up to the high note on “winters day” ahh so good! I’ve watched this performance so many times and it never gets less entertaining lol.
@@PapaAlec Her voice was unbelievable. I was only a kid when she died, but over the years, have watched and listened to her recordings and man, could she belt it out.
@@slenderboy1662💯
Man this song was premiered on the Ed Sullivan show a day before my 4th birthday!😳wow! Love the tune!
I was born august ‘63, and I feel like I watched this performance live with my older sisters when I was just a little kid. I know my whole family watch Sullivan every week. So this song has been in my head pretty much my whole life.
That second verse, the lyrics, the delivery … exquisite. Thank you Michelle.
Director: “okay, y’all gotta lip sync over the track to make it look like you’re actually singing”
Michelle: “Imma eat this nanner”
Lol
I just split ribs reading this
You should check out some old Who videos like this and watch Keith Moon drumming. Hilarious.
hahah
first time I’ve heard anyone call a banana a nanner,I like it 👍
Love how the only one singing is mama Cass
Actually Denny is singing as well. You can tell he is in the "well I got down on my knees" part bc of the echo
And Michelle has the audacity to be eating a friggin banana 🍌!!! 😂😂😂😂
And Mama C could sing better than anyone.
None are singing live
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR Sounds like some are singing with hot mikes over the top of the original recording. Cass can be clearly heard adding an additional vocal line in several places, especially in the closing chorus.
One of the greatest songs ever written. And i can't even tell you why. It just is.
Ed Sullivan had the knack of harnessing the very best of musical talent back in the 1960s and this 1967 rendition is typical. This is such a classic, that it is difficult to comprehend that it was released a lifetime ago, topping the charts in 1965, when I was still a student in 4th year architecture at UNSW, but then it was the '60s, beginning the halcyon period for popular music and Humanity itself, with the boffins citing 1960-90 as the zenith period for our species, never to return, so make the most of all from that time. The Mamas & Papas were the supreme exponents of group harmony, and still lead a very competitive pack with the Beegees and Beachboys nipping at their heels, but a key line in their massive hit "Dedicated to the One I Love", (each time I pray for you my baby) still rates in my humble opinion as the epitome of perfect harmony in a wealth of purveyors in that three decade period that is poorly missing in century 21 music. Sadly their time ended with the untimely death of Cass Elliot in 1983, prompting the pundits to laconically say that if Mama Cass had given that sandwich to Karen Carpenter, they would both still be with us today. Be that as it may, we have the legacy of their audial creativity 57 years on from a time in the USA, when life was peaceful and mass gun violence was unheard of, and my lengthy double greyhound bus circuit time there in 1978 remains etched in my memory half a century on. Enjoy this & all the wonderful musical contributions of the Mamas & Papas.
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading that. I love hearing the perspectives from people that actually lived through those days.

I don’t think they did Michelle purposefully went with the man that cass like knowing she liked them 😶
@@vix5814 they were good friends.
@@craig3240: They did remain ‘friends’, sort of, until the end but it was well known among them and the general public that Mitchie was eating other bananas while married to John and that Cass made no secret that she was incredibly attracted to Denny and was not happy with the affair between him and Michelle.

coincidentally my left knee has been hurting past 5 days!
Why?
@@xC4LxW4LK3Rxfrom what I’m guessing, he is fantasizing about receiving fellatio from Michelle Phillips.
I remember the day when this song came out like it was yesterday. I was living in Long Beach California and I was sick with the flu in bed and listening to my transistor radio with the single ear plug
There are very few songs that represent an era in time. This is one of them. They were absolutely fantastic.
Mama Cass was a trooper that why she's the was the only one to get her own variety show later in the 70s.
shoutout to mama cass for not only actually singing instead of lip syncing, but adding extra harmonies and belting at 2:13?? good for her
Yes she did.
She's the only who's actually singing.
She was amazing. Legendary voice.
And it is so beautiful.
Most of Ed Sullivan's acts were performed live. So maybe the band decided to lip sync and make fun of it as well?
This video shows how better our society was back then when people didn’t worry about what people was gonna think of them.
This really keeps my Californian/American Dream alive while I'm dyin rottin in India!!!!!! GOD bless. xx ❤❤❤
Wonderful group and song.
John Phillips looks very handsome and mesmerizing to me.
I agree!
Undoubtedly one of the most iconic songs in rock history
This isn't rock, pop sure, but not rock
@@ByTheSpirit84 I mean songs in rock history, not genre, this song is folk rock sunshine, is a classic rock also rock isn't just a white jerk with a distorted guitar

Wow..you can hear Cass..what a powerhouse..really like her gown too
Momma Cass made their distinctive sound. RIP Ms. Elliot.
🎶 I think this song and performance by them represents the late 1960s PERFECTLY!
I was always in love with Cass. She had a voice like an angel and a beautiful smile.
I was in love with mama Cass from the first moment I heard her voice. She'd been dead for years when I first found her. It still breaks my heat to think she's not with us any more.
yeah its sad.. she was already overweight and prediabetic and died young at 33yrs of age...in UK especially where theres hardly any sunlight for Vitamin D, an essential vitamin we all need!
Right the true talent of the group. If she looked like Michelle she would have been a mega star
I’m 24 and now I love this, I understand why this band is so loved, such an amazing song
I'm so STOKED to find a video with Michelle performing BAREFOOT! ❤💙💜 ❤💙💜
Cass has the only live mic, and she's doing some great stuff throughout the song, especially towards the end.
California was such a wonderful place at one time.
Hippies
Wish I could go back 😥😥😥
Californication
She's a legend! ❤
Michelle Phillips or Holly Michelle was beautiful both physically and voice, seeing that you can not stop looking at her and wishing to be by her side, wow
The tension in this performance is palpable.
What a friggin tune this is, never gets old and the most 60s set and look there is, love it
Michelle is the only one left. It was a wonderful time to be a teenager. I was sixteen or seventeen. A year later I would be drafted.
Cause she ate that banana..❤
I was 17 years old then. What great times those were thank you God for creating me when you did. Young people now have no idea how great it was back then.
It is probably pretty annoying for young people today when old people tell them how good things used to be... I believe the obvious question is who f-ed it up? If times changed for the worse during the prime of life, are not you to blame? Unless you are one of those folks that only enjoys being a Boomer when it is about a classic rock song or avoiding fighting in Vietnam or whatnot. Hey kids, it was this guy and his votes for snake-oil salesmen and actors to constantly give reaaaalllly rich people subsidies they do not need. But, my guess is Walt will blame, um hold on lemme check Fox News' chyron really quick, he will blame people from El Salvador this week. Next week, he will be assigning blame to my niece and nephew's Generation, and they are 6 and 3 years old, respectively. Boomerbuddy, look in the mirror. That is your answer. LOL. And tbh, I had a fuckin' rocking '90s childhood in Kentucky, man. But I don't quite get your point... just because I would play SNES or N64 on a rainy day, doesn't mean my childhood was ruined, right? Brother, I had fun you couldn't imagine, most of it outdoors in the gorgeous Bluegrass region of KY. So lovely. Also, I just re-read your comment. It is weird that you think G-d created you at a specific time or something so you could listen to the Mamas & The Papas. You should read the Bible, my friend. It ain't about you, dummy. I'm pretty sure you are not mentioned. Hold on, ummmmmm, flipping pages, nope. I do not see "@Walt222" in God's grand plan ha! Later HOMO (sapien).

Mama Cass was part of my childhood. It's cool how new commercials are playing her songs. The marketing guys know how to perk up baby boomers. I heard "u gotta go where u want to go" & "Make Your Own Kind of Music" & I immediately came here to see who sang it. 1966 & 1969 - Mama Cass, I Was 7. Their music lives on and brings you back to a kid. So uplifting. I had to share my feelings. Anyone else here b/c they heard those commercials?

What a superb way to protest. Now I love The Mamas and The Papas even more.
this is hysterical. I like how Michelle apparently lost her mic and is singing into the banana at the end. also the part where John is clearly talking to her regardless of the recorded song continuing to play.
this is like so iconic
Imagine just having the guts to bring the banana to forever imprint the message that's it's fake, on the biggest broadcast venue of the the time. Wow, kudos.
