0:40 😂 I’m glad I looked for the video version of this. It blew my mind when I realized they did the saw effect as a metaphor for being asleep (sawing logs).
I wonder if John Barbata ever lost one of his drumsticks in mid-twirl? That being said, Mr. Barbata is one of rock & rolls truly great drummers. I also loved his work as the drummer for CSN&Y a few years later.
Howard Kaylan according to wikipedia would have been 21 years old here. With grey hair encroaching on his sideburns? 21? Just that he looks older and not that it matters. They wrote and sang some of the greatest pop songs ever.
@@jarrodbarkley9061 Especially when he was with Mark Volman in Flo & Eddie. By that point, Howie became an essential long haired hippie. When it turned completely grey in the 1980's, he resembled a thinner Jerry Garcia. Charlie Rich was another singer who prematurely went grey when he was 22. He earned the name "The Silver Fox" for his premature grey hair. He died in 1993 at the age of 62.
Check him out with Zappa two years later (1970) - he looks like he's 50. I think that some hard livin' may have played a part in speeing up the aging process. HK liked a good time, by his own admission (his book).
The song was typically lip synced as a lot of pop songs were during the 1960's. Dick Clark was said to have started the lip syncing trend back in the 1950's, while other shows like Ed Sullivan's had no lip syncing. You can tell that this is a lip sync by the simple fact that the session musicians playing the brass band are not performing with them onstage. The brass band was a response to The Beatles using brass bands on "Sgt. Pepper" and on songs like "Got To Get You Into My Life" and "Magical Mystery Tour." Notice at the end, the brass band plays a sly reference to the old timey tune "Waiting For The Robert E. Lee."
Such an amazing - if underrated band.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!
The Turtles are such a fun band, they always seem like great friends having good times together.
Love this song! Can't believe this footage still exists.

The best drummers in the 60's, Johny Barbata & Dino Danelli

They were very popular on television (four times on Ed Sullivan that I know of. Glad to see this footage survives.

Those blue cubes are hilarious.

He always looked way older than his age, especially a few years later when his hair was long and gray. Weird.

The drummer thinks he's in a marching band. Someone should take his sticks away.
Nothing wrong with having fun & being entertaining. It's called life.
