- Airdate: January 15, 1966
The T-Bones’ (or the T-poons, Teaspoons, Lovin' Spoonful, The Wrecking Crew- whatever you want to call them) one hit song seemed particularly appropriate for today. “No Matter What Shape…” is at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and will climb to #3 in 3 weeks.
“Regulars” spotted dancing today are: Peggy Waggoner (0:25), Mark Pachter (1:04), and Famous Hooks & Anita Branch (1:39).
Holy cross-promotion Batman: At 1:48 you can see the “Batman Is Coming” sign up on the wall. Dick did a brief segment in this episode introducing the new “Batman” TV series which premiered this week on ABC.
For American viewers, enjoy your turkey, pumpkin pie and hot Dr. Pepper and remember………Fact is, today, in 2021, nothing makes you feel better than watching my channel……nothing. 😊
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thank you @jthyme (Gary) for getting me this episode!!! Lots more great moments coming from this one soon.
Be sure to tune in next Saturday, Dec. 4th, for a REALLY special (and really rare) clip that is guaranteed to get you off your seat and dancing….and a-prancin’ 😉
Here's the original Alka-Seltzer spot. The T-Bones (The Wrecking Crew) recorded a groovier version, and called it "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)" after the spot's opening tagline. A touring T-Bones was put together. In 1971 these T-Bones emerged as Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds, with "Don't Pull Your Love". ua-cam.com/video/Yf5HO9vxgDM/v-deo.html
Yes, this video seems to show at least Dan Hamilton - the animated guitarist whose smile is recognizable: ua-cam.com/video/hr21kmI72LU/v-deo.html
Oh, Dick Clark.........a national treasure and sorely missed.
Kids looked a thinner back than. Thanks video games and social media.
We were thinner, we walked, danced, swam, did I mention danced!!! We had good clean fun!
@@liatriswht No gmos back then.
The Alka Seltzer ad was great....A guy poking another guys's belly, a girl dancing, a boxer getting hit in the stomach...'No matter what shape you'r stomachs in!'
2 hula dancers and a belly dancer stomachs were in the commercial from Alka seltzer.
Caught a nice glimpse of Peggy and her great Smile. Famous Too. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
As a 7 year old I remember this Song. A nice Thanksgiving 🦃 treat. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to You ALL‼️
Thank you Aaron and Gary for this holiday treat. Peggy and her smile as the saying goes- the camera loves her. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!
Plop Plop Fizz Fizz oh what a relief this episode commands. Great fun on a most appropriate day. Aaron and @jthyme thanks for sharing this classic - hot Dr Pepper and all. Wishes for a day of bounty to all. 🦃
Nice to see you are still posting and active on here. Happy Thanksgiving Don, best wishes to you and your family.

My sister had the 45 record of this. Brings back great memories. Thanks!
i love all time 1959/1969was very days!!!!!!!
I was in the 3rd grade wen this cool groovy tune came out in late summer 65 ; I was 8 yrs old.
Sad to say some of my friends older bros sent to Southviet
A couple of the guys from Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds ("Fallin' In Love", 1975) were in the T-Bones earlier in their career.
I love these bits of interesting information I can learn from commenters. Thanks for that! Now this song is unwaveringly memorable for me due to the Alka Selzer TV commercial which used this song. I remember a few such commercials, and this was my fave when I was 7 going on 8 in January 1966. Such a great era.
Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds also "Don't Pull Your Love" from 1971
I didn't know that. Fallin' in Love 1975, I was a United States Marine on Okinawa missing my cute girlfriend.
COOL! 👍😎
Oh wow!
This song really had me going in 8th grade, back in 1966! Couldn't hear it enough. Great Too 40 music in that time. And you just help me find out that some of the same people responsible for "No Matter What Shape" also did "Fallin' In Love", another song from a few years later which I never would have associated with the former. Talent just goes out in all directions...Thanks for the memories, and this clip!
Tune came out mid spring of 65 when I was in 2nd grade in 1965 . I had just turned 8 years old in late 3/65 . 1st heard this tune on Philadelphia's WFIL Famous 66 .around mid -5/ 65 . To me , @ that age y was a far- out tune .
Back in 1981 WABC aired a weekly series at 7.30PM “Where Were You In…” Each weeks telecast focus on a specific year. It was in the “1966” episode where I first heard this song. And loved it ever since. 👍 Great to see and hear it on Classic American Bandstand.
THANK YOU Aaron your new clip you sneaked in will help make my Thanksgiving even better. Meanwhile you better get back to your thanks giving. I think i can smell yours cooking all the way in Michigan lol. Have a Great day with your family Aaron..
Thank you Aaron for providing us with these amazing videos! Will you provide us with this full epsiode in January?
The Wrecking Crew doing what they do best, making hits.
This was the background music to the classic Alka-Seltzer commercial (1967) with the same title.
Remember it well.
Like a lot of people commenting here, I'm a child of the Sixties. If I had to pick one record to exemplify what Sixties pop music sounded like, this would be it. Whenever I hear No Matter What Size, for a few seconds, I'm transported back to my childhood.
Happy Thanksgiving to our American cousins. I haven't been on this great channel for the best part of this year, so a lot of catching up to do. Have a great time everybody and take care.
Great clip Aaron! An 11 year old me loved the Temptations move to this one. Whoa.....you could move to it. Never did like Dr. Pepper hot or cold!!! Yuk! Spotted that cutie Peggy and Famous. Don were you there? I was looking but didn't see you or Frank. Frank must've been there somewhere. Thank you Aaron for digging these up. Good stuff on a quiet Thanksgiving Day. Hope everyone enjoyed all you could stomach!!!
P.S: I caught that clue!
When people were really Cool and lots of fun !!! And very normal !!!
Now it would be hostile rap music and twerking, with everybody tatted up.
You're welcome, Aaron! Glad to see you and everybody here diggin' the clips. Can't wait to see the clip next Saturday! ;)
I love this song! Thank you so much!😃
I was born January of 66, I wish I could have been there but my mother would never let me leave my crib alone.
I was born January of 67, so I certainly do agree. I just love the music from back then there's nothing like it.
I was born January of 67, so I certainly can agree with you.
Beatles had a number one hit in January 1966, "We Can Work It Out". Hard to imagine how far ahead they were. BTW Dick Clark was a nerd.
I just love the beautiful backing vocals of those girls.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanks for the short clip and looking forward to December 4.
Happy Thanksgiving AB friends! I guess Aaron is reminding us that if we have a stomach ache eating too much 🦃 there is Alka Seltzer!!
If people want to take videos of our stomachs they can.
Happy New Year 1966 and Happy Thanksgiving to all💜
These kids are in their 70s now!
We were wholesome, we had an innocence.
The long lost days when we used to dress for the occasion; now, we can go just about anywhere in sweatpants and hoodies.
One of my favorite instrumentals of all time. I hope there are more clips from that 1-15-66 episode. That clue provided about the next clip coming leads me to a top-5 hit from the fall of '65 and a Christmas tune that's not very danceable. And was that Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" scoring 77.5 on rate-a-record? Be thankful everyone.
Ha, ha yes it was. I was wondering if anyone would catch that. Nancy lost on RAR but got the hit, lol. I’ll post the whole clip sometime soon.
This is one of my favorite instrumentals, besides "Love is Blue" by Paul Mariart or "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" by Sounds Orchestral.
@@stevieg7672 Another good instrumental is "Stick Shift" by the Duals, 1961. Also, "Pipeline" by the Chantays and of course "Wipe Out" by the Surfaris.
@@basilmarasco1975 I love "Pipeline" and "Wipe-Out" as well. Have you heard of "Penetration" by the Pyramids? That's another good instrumental. It was a hit back in the spring of 1964.
@@stevieg7672 No, I've never heard that song, never even heard *of* it. But that era was full of good instrumentals: "Stranger On The Shore", "Calcutta", "Midnight In Moscow", "Alley Cat", "Washington Square", "Java", "The Stripper", "Tequila", "The Happy Organ", "Tel-Star", "Green Onions", "Theme from Hawaii Five-O", and many more. Later in the 60s, "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet" was a favorite of mine, even though I was still a kid. (AM Top 40 played a little of everything in those days.)
Hello fellow Bandstand fans and collectors, on Dec 18th at 3:30 PM, the original airdate(except not on a Wednesday), I will be premiering the oldest known episode that survives of Bandstand, I did my usual remastering to it, so if you want to see it, join me and watch it as it goes live, and consider subscribing for more Beech-Nut and Bandstand videos in the future. Join me here: ua-cam.com/video/ZGv2z8EwhE0/v-deo.html
Qué lindo ver la juventud de aquellos años divirtiéndose sanamente
Que? Que?
Thank you!!! Happy Thanksgiving to Aaron and everyone!!
Go to your drugstore or supermarket today and insist on genuine Alka-Seltzer!
Great Instrumental song. Thanks Aaron. Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh why are they not wearing mask??
Go Go boots !!! 👍💞
Stylist and catchy.
Most of these guys probably got an invitation from Pres. Johnson to SiuthEast Asia. Seen friends bro , and neighbors sons sent to NAM from 65-69. Last one hm by late 71.
Lost a relative myself mid3/68 , tail end of bloody TET nearly a couple wks near my 11th bday
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Boy wat memories wen I was 8 yrs old watching AB on Sat. Afternoons.
Just love this song and the clean cut look back then -especially the young man at 1:34 !
New York steak
This instrumental was a simultaneous Top 5 hit on both the national charts and on the local charts here in L.A. during Dec. 1965/Jan. 1966. 😀😀😀😀😀
Heard this at a New Wave club in Miami the crowd went wild.
Loud and fast...rock n roll! Kids will dance to it.
Booker t and the mg's killed this song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those women were hot and really "stylin." I was only 5 in '66!
oh boy, these days will never be back......i'm gonna cry now.
1966 -- the beginning of America's reckoning with its corrupt past.
FABULOSA USADA COMERCIAL ALKA SELSER
repetative tune but i love it makes you want too get and dance
I remember this being the Alka Seltzer song!
Aloha! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and thank you for this great post! I'm adding it to my playlist. Love seeing the regulars dance!
Wow... where are those dancers today ?
1:11 what is up with that kids ears ??
Thank you for posting another great bandstand video! Keep up the great work!!
Hi. My grandfather was on American Bandstand on July 3rd 1963. His stage name was Dean Randolph. He just passed and it would mean a lot to my mother and grandmother if they could see it. I have been looking for a clip of this or the full episode for years and was wondering if you had access to it. If not, that's okay. Keep up the great work.
He was also on on October 24, 1962. Season 6 episodes 38 and 218. I'd be more than willing to pay if anyone has access!
BEAUTIFUL 👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hot Dr. Pepper? 🤔
Great song though!
Served with a slice of citrus.
Didn't they use this as a jingle for Pepto Bismol or Alcaseltzer?
I think that was remaking of the group called THE VENTURES Song!!!
Not The Ventures; it was originally an instrumental used in the Alka-Seltzer TV ads.
I hadn't heard this song since then! It was like slipping on a worn comfortable shoe!
Velhos tempos belos dias
Saudades.
Um beijão no coração de quem teve essa belíssima ideia.
Thank You! Is this from March 1966?? Famous Hooks!!!
January 1966
@@YCDTI Thanks!! Where is the first pat of the Feb 5 1966 ep?? It was there and now its gone
@@josephguagenti3730 unfortunately it blocked by YT. I’ll try to post it again sometime as YT’s copyright “blocks” change every now and then.
@@YCDTI Thanks!! If possible more AB from 1962 and 1963!!
Love it ! Thanks Aaron. Happy Holidays to all!
I really miss happy days!!!
I love that song...this is great..
Meu deus como esse povo dançava feio

How come they show those stomachs on TV?
Alka Seltzer @Alan Katzer.
@@dancerdon9175 thanks.
The song originated from an Alka Seltzer commercial.
