Excellent!
People, in general, used to have class.
Debbie and Donald are my favorite paring.

If my Mrs. and I could dance 💃🏻 🕺🏻 like that, we’d be AWESOME 👏!
We keep working on it, if just to make ourselves smile. 🙂 I keep trying and if only we could move like the couples in the clips.
Thanks for the post 👍🏻

A.D. is the first site I visit early each morning with my first cup and surprises like that vid are part of the reason I attend this class first. Very enjoyable and pleasing and I couldn’t help but think that even the Lord smiles at this.

I come from a dancer family, sister, wife, daughter. When I first saw this video a few years ago, I thought to myself, ‘What a Labor of Love’. Whoever put this together was truly inspired and talented, down to getting the old clips of these actors to appear to be matching the Lyrics of the modern song in lip sync. Whoever did it, I wish they would do more.
Oh, thank you. That was extremely wonderful!!!!!!!

That was marvellous, and bittersweet.
It reminds me of the culture we once had, for one brief shining moment in time.

Here’s a Side B — Hottest actresses of the Sixties dancing to “Green Onions”. Not quite as good as the Main Attraction but still mesmerizing. The theme seems to revolve around that awesome moment when the two sexes are attempting to make that life changing connection
But then at 1:15, Ann Margaret Olsen shows up in skintight pants and blows the whole theme to hell; but who cares. It’s Ann Margret — the women was a Cat 5 estrogen tornado!!
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
Lament for the Rohirrim
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
Ferreya
Song of Myself
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

from Canto CXV BY EZRA POUND
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

Oops, pushed submit before I had entered my name
BTW, check out the outro with Raquel Welch. It looks like she’s actually dancing to Green Onions
Here’s another good one: Rita Hayworth dancing to ‘Stayin Alive’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz3CPzdCDws
