Gary Lewis & The Playboys: Little Miss Go-Go (1965) Scopitone

[@CarrollDeanJones1931]

One of Gary Lewis' finest songs, hands down.

[@raffaelartiaga5231]

I like the girls dancing with the batteries radio,nice

[@upnywhiteb]

The guys of today don't know what they missed. I thought all the girls were pretty hot, but liked the one in yellow the best. I read a few comments where it was said that it was Teri Garr. I would not have gotten that, so a big thank you to those that did and for sharing it.

[@curtgottler9961]

It's not Terri Garr.😅

Very good song played by a very good .They became unforgetable ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@evanholly3649]

Well the main reason this sounds like Jan and Dean/beach boys is because the backup vocals are done by PF Sloan and Steve Barri, who sang backup on many Jan and Dean songs, PF even sometimes did deans part

[@MikeBlitzMag]

Gary has always readily cited Jan And Dean and the Beach Boys as major inspirations. And as evidenced here, he could handle the genre with the best of them. Little Miss Go Go was the flip side of Count Me In, and was also included as a bonus track on an EP sold via mail order by Kellogg's Cereal at the time. For your efforts, you got a black and silver label Liberty 45 with pic sleeve, featuring Count Me In, Little Miss Go Go and the exclusive Doin' The Flake. Classic. All three tracks remain available on various CD compilations.

Gary Lewis & The Playboys performing surf music successfully. Check out the KZbin video Malibu Run which was recorded in 1965 for the movie Out Of Sight.

RIP Teri Garr. Little Miss GoGo in Heaven!

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

I prefer the brunette on the left with the thick bouffant.

[@tinydancer62]

This and "She's Just My Style " are my favorites.

[@matrox]

Nope...This Diamond Ring and Count Me In are better,

No one is mentioning that they sound like The Hondells more than they do Jan &,Dean or The Beach Boys.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

Its like the 60's were a different universe.

[@thomastimlin1724]

I believe that is Jim Keltner, famous session percussionist on drums...he was in the Playboys for a while when Gary decided to be out front singing and off the the drums.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Some say this sounds like the Beach Boys...true...but it leans more to the sound of Jan And Dean...like Ride the Wild Surf, Honolulu Lulu...because of the sound of Gary's vocal tone, and, the call and response of the lead vocal and back ground singers with the overkill on the high voice especially "woooo...." or even the song "GTO" by the Ronnie and the Daytonas the previous year 1964. The Beach boys had become more sophisticated in their song writing and harmonies with Help Me Rhonda, California Girls, The Little Girl I Once Knew by 1965. However that said, I'd be glad to meet the Go-Go Girls in the film back then regardless of all that...lol

[@tinydancer62]

Excellent post. I wish I were one of the dancers on this video, except it means I would be in my mid 70s now, LOL

[@65sohc]

This was in the I dream of Jeannie era: no belly buttons.

[@CACTUS48]

Like to see these girls today, did HS66, then Marines Vietnam...

[@Mynamesalexa]

Beach Boys ish, but still nice. Thought I saw Terri Garr as one of the groovy girls dancing? Gary is playing a right handed Hofner (Paul McCartney) bass

[@stingray4real]

Gary Lewis is the son of comedian, actor and fundraiser Jerry Lewis.

[@matrox]

Uh...yeh...we know.

[@NicsJukebox]

“Jan and Dean” ahh song

[@tomthomas4292]

A B side surf song worthy of an A side !

[@MrTonyretro]

Proper real girls!

[@toastnjam7384]

The gal in yellow is Teri Garr.

[@curtgottler9961]

It's not her. BTW, none of these guys actually played on the records.

[@toastnjam7384]

@@curtgottler9961 I believe so. Photos of her dancing during this time 2or3lines.blogspot.com/2017/04/castaways-liar-liar-1965.html\ I'm not surprised they didn't play on the records.

[@elenaconstantinescu7107]

Thanks !

[@sholihinsholihin3150]

Nice... like go go dancing and sounds like Beach Boys song... it's pity to hear that Gary was enlisted into the army then after which when he came back... the music scene got that his kind of got less appeal and the onslaught of British invasion made more difficult...

[@kennethanderson3101]

Fun song

[@thomastimlin1724]

Also I'm not convinced any of those guys sang the high part on this record....I may be wrong....but Gary was on the same label as Jan and Dean...Liberty records at the time....possibly they could have actually gotten Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean to sing the high part...it sure sounds like him..

[@paperboxcutter]

Videos generally don't represent who you hear on the recording.

[@alanforrester1401]

More like Phil Sloan

[@curtgottler9961]

None of the Playboys played on the records, either.

[@thomastimlin1724]

@@paperboxcutter Certainly not, the Wrecking Crew and others most often on these - that's the way it was done back then. The critics bitched about the Monkees, what a joke...

[@danbyxl]

had this on 8 track

[@jonnuanez7183]

That really looks like Teri Garr in the yellow skirt

[@KaiserFrazer67]

It IS. A very young Teri Garr before she became an actress. It's not real well known that she got her start as a dancer making early music videos like this.

[@curtgottler9961]

​@@KaiserFrazer67It's very well known, but that's not her.

[@lukejbarnett1]

love '60s girls. nowadays girls all look the same, same hairstyles same clothes so boring. and it's been this way since the '90s.

[@MrRacket991]

Gary looks more like Dean Martin than his father Jerry Lewis. I wonder if that bothered Jerry?

[@eddieb508]

great video but the other band members look so bored being their need a little enthusiasm

Ramones

[@PSYCHEROCK1]

Mauvais playback.

[@excidedous]

Carl Radle who was the Bass player for Eric Clapton & Leon Russell on acoustic guitar in the start. Jim Keltner on drums. Also Tommy Tripplehorn, father of actress Jeanne Tripplehorn. Pretty sure that's Teri Garr as one of the Go-Go dancers. She was a dancer on the T.A.M.I. Show the year prior. Written and Arranged by Leon Russell.
