Beau Brummelstones - Laugh Laugh (ao Vivo)

[@gibbs615]

This was one of the best things about the original Flintstones cartoon show, the way they always had special musical guest stars in some episodes.

[@bryanpalmer9660]

What I like about these guest stars is they didn't mind sending themselves up

The Flintstones is what introduced me to the Beau Brummels. I remember back in the early 2000s, "Laugh Laugh" was on the radio. When I said it's The Beau Brummels, my dad asked me how I knew that, and I told him they were on The Flintstones.

[@brianholihan5497]

Like several other commenters, I first watched this as a child, and that was my intro to the BBs. The melodies in this song immediately penetrated me, and they've stayed with me all these years. And they flow perfectly. The singer tells the story with the first. The second (the "laugh laugh" part) is more exuberant. The third ("Oh so lonely") is quieter, introspective, and forlorn. Each melody is catchy, and all together flow into a full experience. This really is a great song.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

[@mikebrunet54]

I remember watching this when it first aired....one my all time classics....very Beatlesque....or better yet The Mersey sound.....

[@SW2799]

I always thought it was the Mersey sound, and I have always loved this song. It was great to find out the Beau Brummell were actually from San Francisco. One of so many great groups to come out of the Bay Area in that era. We Fiive also from San Francisco has a similar sound as far as I am concerned. This is a great clip I remember it when it was first shown. I only question is: was that actually the Beau Brummels singing? It sounded kind of slow as compared to the actual version, which I am absolutely familiar with.

[@Selvikus]

@@SW2799 Yes. This version was the Beau Brummels singing and playing live. There's a video of the actual performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5CqloydiZprmpI from Shindig

[@gilbeau5254]

Hilarious! These ladies I work with play the 50's and 60's radio station on satellite and this song comes on all the time. I can't even hear it without thinking about the Flintstones. I'm glad this clip is on here.

[@tamjac10]

I totally remember this episode...Groovy rock

[@Richbar-qe6bx]

I remember watching this on tv when it aired back in the mid 60s. When I'd hear this song on the radio, I'd think the cartoon characters are singing this song.

[@shawnbegay4966]

I had to look up this video since I was playing the MP3 of the song. Great boyhood memories of first hearing this song on the Flintstones in the 70's. This song predates me by nearly a year and a half. I came into the world when "Monday, Monday" by the Mamas and the Papas was at number 1.

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1965 {December 3rd} the Beau Brummels, as the Beau Brummelstones, made a guest appearance on the ABC-TV program 'The Flintstones'... As shown above they performed "Laugh, Laugh"*; and just under a year earlier on December 27th, 1964 the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #96, seven weeks later on February 14th, 1965 it would peak at #15 {for 2 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 12 weeks... Six days prior to their appearance on 'The Flintstones' their "Don't Talk to Strangers" was at #62 on the Top 100 and that was also its last day on the chart... * Personally, when I first heard "Laugh, Laugh" in 1964 I thought the song's title was "Last Laugh", and it could have been, for it fits...

[@DavidSush1]

If the Beatles recorded this perfect pop gem it would have been an ever bigger international hit song. The song was produced by some young unknown aspiring 21-year-old genius named Sylvester Stewart, who the world would soon find out about his own brilliant music when he decided to call himself the one and only Sly Stone!

Interesting, because this isn't the original version but a re-record. Probably cheaper to do it that way than to license the master for broadcast. But this is like product placement, it's basically a commercial for the single, which was in process of being promoted. Love strange stuff like that. So cool.

Either an outtake looped into the sound track or they rerecorded the song to fit the segment length. Watch the barely seen splices in the animation. Not all of the song was animated. the movement segments repeat a couple of times. H/B pioneered limited animation to produce made for TV cartoons cost effective. The BB's animation shows the technique in full application

[@bruceross5546]

@richallenxbox1976 the lead singer on the recording was actually the tambourine player, Sal Valentino ... shows you how little Hanna-Barbera cared about accuracy. The "Paul McCartney" lookalike, Ron Elliot, wrote the song, but only sang the lower backing vocals.

[@robertdawson1823]

wheres. goggles. pizano???

[@WilliamMeier-d9r]

They caricatured the group well with the exception of the drummer, John Petersen, who had blonde hair and a handsomer face. In fact, he looks way too much like Ringo in this and that might have been intentional, in order to give the San Francisco-based group a more British Invasion association. Declan Mulligan was from Fethard, County Tipperary, Ireland (just a few miles west of where my great-grandmother was from in Upper Ballywalter). Another boo-boo is that Ron Elliott is portrayed singing the lead when it was actually Sal Valentino (with the tambourine) who was the lead vocalist. I wonder if this recording of Laugh, Laugh was specially done for this Flintstones episode or whether it was an alternate take used for the purpose. It definitely reveals well the bass line played by Ron Meagher. The back cover of the group's second album portrays more accurately the group as Flintstones cameos, albeit minus Declan Mulligan who had left the band. Still, it's a great clip to see despite some discrepancies only anal-retentive Felix Ungers like me would even bother to point out.
