Mickey Mouse Club "Going on a Hayride"

[@pattibrooks1907]

I used to watch this show as a kid then in reruns later when I young and much older too ! Love this song !Ill never tire of this show !

[@aussieagle]

Brings back great memories of my school days, had a big crush on Darlene, great to see her feature here,

[@MegaEvalee]

Cheryls so cute on this skit ! RIP Cheryl

[@ohmeowzer1]

Darlene is awesome

[@lennon1252]

As Mouseketeer Sharon Baird remembered, “Jimmie was one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever known in my life. He was genuine and he didn’t speak down to kids, he included them. He was a great person to look up to.”

[@randyventresca1130]

I agree! Cheryl was a cutie pie:)

[@robyntattersall236]

Darlene was for me the most talented of the Mouseketeers.. singer, dancer and natural mimic ... her energy made the show

[@superjackster0165]

She’s my favorite Mouseketeer

[@paulamiles9559]

Darlene by far was the best singer

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@paulamiles9559 Derlene was by far the most talented. She could sing and do comedy or impersonations. The complete package. Annette could barely sing. She could dance but was a bit of a one trick pony. Unfortunately when it came to Walt Disney, Darlene's Dad demanded more money, while Annette toe'd the line and blew smoke up Walt's ass. So Annette toadied herself into best roles even though Darlene was the real star.

Happy Birthday Darlene Gillespie; born on this date in 1941. {Apr. 8th}

[@JayRaphaelJiaoInot]

The mouseketers are like having a prom dance and a summer vacation getaway at once.

[@jesseburns6191]

AAH Darlene. My favorite Mousketeer.

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

She was a French Canadian, from Montreal

[@aitch3]

I love the song Jimmie Dodd sings about towns in the southwest.

[@philwhitaker4246]

I had a crush on Darlene.

[@Forensource]

Bobby's smile is just super-real for a 1950s kid.

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

He still had that smile on "Lawrence Welk" and could really dance!!!

[@michaelmorgan9824]

Though the skit does not feature her prominently she is in the front of the hay wagon adding her lovely smile! Bonnie Lynn Fields!

[@paulamiles9559]

She is so cute.

[@Mrmikemike46]

The people in the Pansy costume are really good.

[@michaelhayes2461]

Thanks. They are my grandparents. Andy and Florence Mayo. My grandfathe and his show biz partnerr started the Pansy the horse act on vaudeville.

[@kaylasecoy295]

Because Doreen Tracey died in January 2018😓

[@johnnyfreeman9494]

I had a crush on Lynn Ready, He died on my Birthday.

[@conniemeissen5213]

Karen was my favorite. So sad to hear she passed away.

[@miss_michelle]

How old was she when she passed and do you know how? She was a sweetie

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@miss_michelle Darlene is my fave and she's still alive. By the way there's no reason the rich, wealthy kids would be seen dead hanging with a common farm girl like Jet Maypen.

[@mololo5555]

Annette Funicello Knows Frankie Avalon

[@unclealand]

Who knows? I do know that Cheryl Holdridge died 3 years ago and Darlene Gillespie might have recently been released from prison. Well, they'll always stay young and in the black-and-white fifties for some people.

[@miss_michelle]

Why was she in prison?

[@schallrd1]

Pansy was sent to the glue factory.

[@ronnieway1]

This scared me...I don't know why...I think it was Pansy!

[@IDLERACER]

The square dance is a tribute to Southern California's inland empire. Pasadena, Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Azusa...I'm not sure how Yuma Arizona fits into the theme, other than the fact that it (sort of) rhymes with Pomona.

[@JayRaphaelJiaoInot]

The ones who controlling the horse are kids, could it be the mouseketers?

[@turbinexman]

I pity the person playing the back end of the horse!!

[@Asukenick]

Cheesy but in the 50s its OK. Much better than MMC. Its the real reason I hate JT.

[@neroneconviva7294]

Now it's comon let's go do drugs n alcohol .

[@unclealand]

Hayride? Darlene Gillespie was sent to prison, and Cheryl Holdridge died of lung cancer three years ago.

[@randyventresca1130]

When are you going to kick off?

[@atomic3939]

weird show

[@kachoo2135]

That's what you think

[@jerryjohnson8485]

Somebody got a gun to your head making you watch it?

[@shanemckenna9416]

This is pretty lame.

[@superjackster0165]

Shane McKenna in days like today, yes this is pretty lame. But back in 1958, everyone thought it was like the best thing on TV

[@shanemckenna9416]

I wasn't saying the show itself is lame just this skit with that stupid panto horse.

[@superjackster0165]

Shane McKenna i know. That's what I also talking about

[@rascal211]

The show is for kids.

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

@@rascal211 sure!kids of all ages! It beats the vugar things you see kids do on television today!
