I was also a 14 yo Aussie boomer and we also had our own Bandstand wth Brian Henderson. There was hardly a bad song in 68. Our local radoo station had a request 2 hours every night. Great times and love watching these episodes with Dick Clarke.

Well- that 51 years zipped on by ! ! Priceless precious memories galore ! !

It is very Surreal seeing the kids from 1968 American Bandstand dancing to a big surfing tune from 1963. The teenagers are a snapshot of late 60s pop culture with the mini skirts, Nehru jacket and down steps, dancing to a tune from half a decade earlier during the Camelot era, Bouffant hair styles and dance craze is like the twist and mashed potatoe.

Yeah most of them especially the men who serv ed in the Nam, answered the call, what a time to come of age & the music was incredible, can't forget those short skirts.

I was 12 years old in 1965, growing up in Huntington Beach Ca. (aka the Real Surf City). Jan and Dean use to skate board up and down main street. Those were fun days.

With my chick,I am on my way to to the beach in San Diego with my board on the top of the car and this song comes on the radio-SO COOL.Never forget it.

`63 was the best year of the 60's. The innocence was still there. I was Sophmore at Long Beach State, in So. Cal. We surfed Huntington Beach, Newport, Doughney, and Tressels south of Capistrano. Few of us knew where Viet Nam was. Coor's was the drug of choice. If you copped a feel on a date you were a stud. The music had happy lyrics with nice melodies and a simple beat. "She's real fine, my 409." No Brit's, yet. We thought it odd, the pale, Philly kids dancing to surf tunes. Kenndy was shot that November and it all started to change. It took 20 years for America to feel good again.

At this date, Jan was still in the early stages of his recovery from a terrible automobile crash that left him with brain damage--aphasia. He was intellectually intact but his communication channels were scrambled. He had to learn to talk again and ironically could sing better than he could talk. Jan was a driven, type A--a much harder charger than the easy going but still extremely talented Dean. They clashed but always worked it out. Dean was by his side in the hospital in the many months after the accident. Jan was single-minded and with his talent literally willed his way to recovery and painstakingly make new records--splicing good stretches of a song together to make it whole. Jan and Dean would not perform again until nearly 10 years after this broadcast. Brian was in recovery from drug abuse and schizophrenia at the same time and later remarked "We got better together..." The Beach Boys invited Jan and Dean on an extended national tour in 1978. It was something very special.

Go to any KZread comment section under any vintage dance or singing video, and you'll find the old fogies repeating this same old chestnut. My theory is these bitter old timers (and I'm of that era, too) stopped enjoying the talent of pop culture once their own youth faded away forever. In thirty years, sour old goats like you will be saying the same thing about the current crop of talent. Might even be pining for the days of Justin Beiber. Somethings just never change.

Much different than the lard asses we have today. If you mention that they look like shit you are automatically labeled a hater.

Robert Walters so we’re the boys ties.

I'd give the song a 9, it's got a good beat and easy to dance to.

Seeing that this is a video of Jan and Dean, it would be nice to see pictures of them. Thank you.

They're great!

Aaron, a California classic. Thanks for posting! You rock!

Thanks Don! I like your coat in this episode. Less formal than a sport coat but more formal than a jacket. Hadn’t seen you wear that before.

Thank YOU for watching Matthew Hamersly!

We danced every weekend!

Back then people showed RESPECT for one another. You felt fairly safe walking down the street in a big city. Music sounded like music not endless repetitive obscene worded drivel coming from a computer. Boys and girls did well in school, played musical instruments, helped their parents, walked or rode a bike for exercise. Times have changed guess I am just too old at age 70.

David James I saw them on 3 different occasions. Great concerts with Pa Pa Doo Run Run as their backing band. The last of the 3 concerts I saw of their's(I was just 16) was soon after John Lennon's assassination and they dedicated it to his memory. About half the songs they played/sang were Beatles songs. It was my favorite of the 3 for this reason. Jan and Dean had fun on stage and made the audience part of their show....very personal concerts, all 3. I have fond memories of Jan. Dean proved to be a good and loyal friend and showed a very hard, tough, love for Jan when he refused to go on tour with Jan unless Jan cleaned himself up and got off all non-prescribed drugs. Dean probably saved Jan's life and gave him the one thing he needed most, the opportunity to perform again. Jan was also an incredible man who spent countless hours with fans and other handicapped individuals who he gave strength to. I feel they should be in the Rock-n-Roll HOF, but to me they'll always be Rock-n-Roll legends anyway. Great guys. RIP William Jan Berry.

" it's 2 for 1 .... 2 girls for every boy ... " ... when I went there, it was $5 at the gate, and hundreds of dudes inside, LOL

"two girls for every boy" ... I was 8 years old when this came out, and all I wanted was Kathy Gruka and Paula Cometto !!! ...

I need to find a time portal and go back to the sixties. Nothing like them since!
