Princess of Tap Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Right, Azure. It must be one of the very few songs that Brian Wilson never wrote. The Beach Boys with Annette performing the Monkey's Uncle. Azure--you're up-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Thanks, Princess. Great question to kick off this thread! As you may remember from your "Christmas come this time each year" thread, I'm a fan of the Beach Boys. I'm also a HUGE Disney fan. Next: Let's stick with the Beach Boys. They appeared in another 1960s film. Please name the film. (Bonus points for mentioning the 3 songs that they sang in the movie.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 What future film star had her first starring role in a movie featuring both Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers and the Moonglows? What was the film called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Lawrence, apparently Tuesday Weld had a teen movie career before she was ever on Dobie Gillis. And Tuesday starred in the Alan Freed rock and roll musical Rock Rock Rock. Chuck Berry's You Can't Catch Me was the only song that I was singing from this movie in 1956. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That's right, Princess. I really enjoy those old rock n roll movies, despite their flimsy plots and stilted acting. Rock Rock Rock also featured the Flamingos and the great LaVern Baker. Your turn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 This fun movie features two top British Invasion groups. The star was a former Miss America. Can you name the movie, Miss America, the two groups - - and wouldn't it be nice if you could name some of the songs that they played in the movie?

LawrenceA Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Get Yourself a College Girl (1964) starring Mary Ann Mobley (Miss America), also with Nancy Sinatra and Chad Everett and The Animals, who sang "Around and Around" and "Blue Feeling" and The Dave Clark Five, who performed "Whenever You're Around" and "Thinking of You Baby" and Astrud Gilberto sings "The Girl from Ipanema" as well!

Princess of Tap Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Lawrence, I had to go to the movies on a school night to see this one! Again we've got music from the Father of Rock 'n Roll, as Eric Burdon and The Animals performed Chuck Berry's Around and Around.

LawrenceA Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 What rock'n'roll classic was filmed over the course of two days and two concerts in Santa Monica in 1964, where the tickets were free to local high schoolers, and featured a mix of British Invasion, Motown and California surf bands?

Princess of Tap Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'm truly and honestly appalled that somebody got to see this concert for free. Because I had to pay good money and stand in line for an hour at a local downtown movie theater. Of course, I'm talking about the Tami concerts-- teen awards music international of the summer of 1964. Showing at All local movie theaters in America. Of Course you are going to ask me who was in this show. The best way to describe this teen concert is that everybody who was anybody in the Rock and Roll world was in this concert except Elvis Presley and the Beatles. Having said that, let me see if I can jar memory. Seems like Jan and Dean were the hosts. The most bizarre group of all was Cannibal and the Headhunters. Aside from that, all my favorites were there: The Beach Boys, Chuck Beery, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Rolling Stones, The Supremes, James Brown, Leslie gore, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, I can't remember anymore. I do remember that it's about the best live performance I've ever seen the Beach Boys do. & I think they got the best reception--and I'm not being prejudiced. LOL How I survived that 2 hour show I'll never know. Except you can scream for two hours non-stop without adverse effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 You're right, Princess. I really like The T.A.M.I. Show, and was so happy when Shout Factory put it out on DVD a few years back. I've watched it a few times, and they did a great job on the disc. One of my favorites of the era. Your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks, Lawrence. I watched that movie just to hear the songs performed by Herman's Hermits. Next: Speaking of the British invasion...... This 1960s film featured performances by several British bands. The opening and closing numbers were performed by a group that would become the most popular British band in America. Please name the film and a few of the bands who were featured in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
