I liked 'Where the Action is" more than American Bandstand, which always seemed to be kinda old hat and 'stuffy' for lack of a better word. Doing a dance show designed for the 50's into the 80's didn't always work-but I watched it whenever I was home on Saturday, so something kept me coming back. Oh right-the girls

'Where the Action Is' was more fun. I remember Paul Revere and the Raiders (with Mark Lindsay) being the 'regular' band, and often playing poolside with cavorting teens in bikinis. sigh The show basically moved bandstand outside, with more energy and fun.

I'm sure I saw 'Happening' too-it may have been a follow up show to Where the Action Is.

Dick Clark did sell me alot of Stri-Dex .

Oh yeah Hullabaloo and Shindig!

Hullabaloo was more of a top40 show, with lots of dancers and 'bubble gum' type performers.

Shindig was much more involved with the real music. Performers from Dylan, to the Stones performing on a simple stage with a darkened audience. It had it's share of 'bubble gum' too, but was a remarkable venue for the performers that REALLY scared our parents.

If there aren't dvd sets of those 2 shows already, there should be.

Now tell me these ain't corny but dang if we didn't love this song.

Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs: Wooly Bully

Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro

Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.

Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.

Wooly bully, wooly bully.

Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Hatty told Matty, "Let's don't take no chance.

Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance."

Wooly bully, wooly bully

Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Matty told Hatty, "That's the thing to do.

Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."

Wooly bully, wooly bully.

Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

:unsure: :)

And the best was Li'l Red Riding Hood. :redface:
