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.

Makes me want to gyrate like a caffeinated schnauzer.

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!!
Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
There is a time for the evening under starlight,
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
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
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot
“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
