She resisted at first but I won her over. Here we were, a couple of 56 year olds who've been married almost 30 years dancing our butts off to Sloopy. It was wonderful. Man, I love the 60's. Man, I love my wife. Man, I love Sloopy!! By the way... if any of you folks have forgotten how hot babes looked in the 60's; you've got to check this out!! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kubb6o9szZY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...b6o9szZY</a>

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I agree, Dave -- it does look like the Universal Studios backlot. Also, that young girl could use a bra -- she looks a bit 'sloopy' without one.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Oh my gosh! These videos, wait, they must have been movies, are hysterical to watch. What would they have been used for? I just remember seeing "live" groups on TV before the mid 70's, not these pre shots.
