Awesome. My father was the Lemon Piper's manager. And he is also the one playing the triangle in the production. Paul Menard aka Irving Harrigan of Charlie and Harrigan. Also, Charlie and Harrigan were inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2014. The memories I have of the Lemon Pipers coming over to the house in Ohio. Amazing!

A memorable song from the 60s from someone who was there. ❤️

I am envious of you. I was technically there..born in 67, but I’ve always loved the music of the 60s, even though my childhood and teenage years were 70s/ 80s. I ADORE Green Tambourine, Incense and Peppermints, The Doors, etc. It all feels very familiar to me somehow. ❤

"Green Tambourine" is a certifiable classic.

This was about the time my older brother (16), older cousin (13), and I (almost 7) short-sheeted my parents' bed, and I remember GT playing on the radio whlle we did it. They were not amused, but we were! 😊

I'm one of those heretics who prefers Green Tambourine over most Beatles records. Thanks for the Top Ten! Winter '68 was a tough time nationally, and personally for my family. I'm so grateful for happy music memories.

Awwww this is a great old tune. Definitely dance in front of the TV worthy. Hello to all my Bandstand YT buddies! Hope everyone is well. 💗

For me it would be “Woman, Woman” by the Union Gap. Anytime I hear something from them it’s like I am automatically transformed back into my wonder years from the middle to late 60s

I liked this song then, I like it now....when you think of all the history being played out in those days with all that great music as the soundtrack...a unique time😎

I'd argue "Green Tambourine" is one of the 10 best songs of the entire decade of the 60s.

Hi Peggy! Happy New Year. I hope you are doing well. They are at the end of the show and out of time so I think they played it because it was so short. From what Don says, it sounds like Dick was often pressed for time and always trying to move the show along. It’s a good thing they didn’t play “Hello Goodbye” or I wouldn’t be able to post it as Beatles songs are always blocked. I’d love to see you guys dance to “Bend Me, Shape Me” too. I’m guessing they played that at least a few times here in early ‘68. Good to hear from you.

Wow, I remember all these songs.

Wow! That commercial for Neet was just bizarre, even for the loose 60's. And pretty funny too! I saw the Lemon Pipers perform on a TV show (Not AB) in 1969 and naturally Green Tambourine was the song they played. Its one of those marvelous one hit wonders that just resonated with me then and still does. By the way, was that Maureen Cohen at the end of the clip? Peace to all.

It just occurred to me, how is “any song you want I’ll gladly play” played on a tambourine? Is it like the game “what song is this?”, while you bang on the table and someone guesses? Only took me 50 years to notice this.
