-There's a reason why the young couples from the mid 1940s to the mid 60s were & had what came to be known as "Baby Boomers"! Poppin' out big numbers of 'em, who you still see now all around, just a little older now. They had the good times though.
its not the first time, and wont be the last time, that UA-camrs take a piece of music and mix it with a video from a different time! God help the next generation who will have a mixed up view of the past.
Not a sped up version of THIS tune. He just stole the title - like he personally posts on this very thread insulting Mickey Baker and me about this tune.
drew wolfman Sure it did! Hank Ballard & The Midnighters had "Teardrops On Your Letter", a number 4 R&B hit in 1960 that had as its B-side the Ballard-written song "The Twist". A few months later, Chubby Checker's cover version of the song went to number 1 on the pop charts. It would return to the top of the charts again in 1962 - the only song in the rock'n'roll era to reach number 1 in two different years!
@@burnette44 I may have to correct you there. The Twist was made as a demo in 1958, late. Re-recorded in 1959, and released. Due to dispute with changin´ from one record company to the other, Chubby Checker got the biggest hit.
Yes, 'mutleybird', I "nicked" the title to my own "Spinning Rock Boogie" multi million hit (has sold well over 8 million copies!!). What you could've added is that this is a FAR CRY from my own version (which has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with this 'sleeper') and I can't understand why Mickey "Guitar" Baker at least TRIED to live up to his otherwise quite decent guitar slinging! Cause, let's face it, he was indeed (like you say!) a prolific studio musician before he got caught up with Sylvia!!
@@markmmv Well, it could be a bit better, but I'm still keeping my huge guitar collection free from dust and my fingers busy at laying down some rock'n roll, keeping away from anything that breaths 'copy cats' and cover band stuff. In the words of Sam C. Phillips: 'If you're not doing something original, you're not doing anything'! Stay cool and keep the rock rollin'.
I think the song is from about that time, but the clip would have to be a few years later than that. The Twist didn't come along until '60. I like the song though.
Frankly speaking, to me this sounds like one of the crappiest instru's Mickey "Guitar" Baker ever recorded - a 'sleepy time down South' if I ever heard one! And, yes, I nicked the title of my own "Spinnin' Rock Boogie" gasseroonie (the 'Most Amazing, Original Instru Ever Released' according to UK Sounds magazine...has earned me both gold and platinum records for selling more than 8 million copies!) just because I couldn't find a more appropriate title to cling it to at the time!
+mutleybird Get the facts straight, son! My own version was recorded in the dawn of the '70s in my parents makeshift garage using nothing else but a battered old Hagström 'plank', a cheap Supro Comet junkyard lapsteel and a German made Lefima snare drum, with an attached cymbal the size of a normal dinner plate! Cut on a Tandberg model 64 reel-to-reel...and that's it!! 'Artificial enhancements and recording gimmicks'?? Crikey, I'm flattered, ha, ha, ha!!
@@burnette44 Sounds more like a weak version of my video of this 1957 tune, except without your added sped-up sections, and goofy sound effects: ua-cam.com/video/uGTPCDprqhI/v-deo.html
@@mutleybird Look, there's NO speed-up sections on this one, I didn't have the equipment to do that, PERIOD!! As for the 'goofy sound effects', yeah, you're right. But the fact of the matter is that I prefer not to take my stuff as seriously as most other 'artists' do. And if that upsets you that's your problem and certainly not mine. Take care and keep the rock rollin'.

I needed a laugh and this film did the trick. Made parts of me laugh that have never laughed before.
Glad you checked out one of my videos!

Go homey go
That's Rock & Roll
the twist years before it became a hit
So cool the way Mickey couold run a walking bass line then hit the upper strings. and those crazy 7ths!!
Jackie Kennedy kickin' it..

Interesting point.

Well, then you will proudly not like many of my videos.
@@mutleybird music is excellent, as are the vids...they just dont musically match!
It's from an old Greek movie! The actors are very well known in Greece, I'm not very sure about the woman because she is very young here!
Do you know the title of the movie please? It is likely from around 1962

twenty years later Hank C. Burnette did a sped up version in 1976

Lisa, Tosca of Athens (1961)?
What the hey, for all we know the guys who came up with the twist later on might have been influenced by stuff like this. RIP Mr. Baker.
might have been ?
And they call it “the praying mantis!”
I agree with drew, they're definitely doing the Twist. Couldn't they find something newer to Twist to? Cool song though!
If I know my my history.
Didn't the twist come out in the 60's?

Are you Greek! Yes I can see a well known Greek actor here Παπαγιαννοπουλος! Mickey Baker rocks!
No, I'm not greek.
ahi vaaaa bien

The song year is accurate, but I wasn't trying to match years with the video. I never do that. I liked the way I could work it with the song.
Speed this to 1.5 and it sounds better!
Must be Greek, look at all the uni-brows, lol!!! j/k
Un lindo boogie sin Sylvia.

They're doing THE TWIST.....but that's impossible.....

Pretty sure those sailors informed the captain they'd be sharing a cabin after this.🏳🌈
Two Navy squids are funny dancing together...out to sea so long forgot what a girl is for!
From which film did the clip come?

pretty shure that it was an italian movie...
