Ola & The Janglers - Let's Dance, 1968

Posted by www.nostalgoteket.se I know I have made two version before of this song featuring beach movies, however I was not really satisfied. So this is a new version completely. Here I've used Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965) as a base, actually this segment fits the music perfectly, no cuts needed! That would be too easy though so I've added Pasha (1968), Les Aventuriers (1967), Pierrot le fou (1965) and Psycho a go-go (1965).
Ola & the Janglers were a garage rock and beat group from Sollentuna, Sweden, founded in 1962. Its lead member was Ola Håkansson. With Claes "Clabbe" af Geijerstam joining Ola & The Janglers around the year-end 1965-66, the group began to move higher on the charts. "Love Was On Your Mind" would have certainly become a worldwide hit if the Rolling Stones had recorded it; at least, the song became a big hit in Sweden and Ola & The Janglers' first one in the Top Ten. There would be more of them to follow. The group's 1969 hit "Let's Dance", a cover of the Chris Montez song, reached #92 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Ola went on to form Secret Service and had a succesfull career all over europe.

This video makes it clear that go-go dancing and fringed garments go together impeccably.

Ola & the Janglers' other hit was "I'm Really Fondue, Baby"

[@kailundquist5118]

A Swedish band play this song.....good my homecountry

[@ARTURO-EP]

Yes, all beautiful-only the ones on tv and movies!!

[@raymondgrech6648]

Great song to listen and dance to ...terrific!

[@warrenalbert9336]

Wish I could go back in time to be with these gorgeous girls. They knew how to dance and looks like it was so much more fun in that time than living in the crappy world of today with all the PC's cell phones, tatoos and fat girls.

[@anthonyangeli256]

Believe it was. I was there!

[@moss8448]

We use to add "hey baby wanna take chance....left my rubbers in my other pants''....

[@KingOFuh]

Brilliant!

[@shadygrady65]

Ok, I believe the girl dancing with the stripped shirt and white slacks in the beginning is Anna Karina and the movie is Pierrot le fou (1965).

[@jimervin387]

Damn good cover version with lots of uncovered hot babes.

[@justclosing]

No need for upskirting here

[@lengasparini2918]

To quote "The Killer": "You can shake it one time for me!."

[@thomasmajewski8360]

Found this song on a list I made back in 1968. Haven't heard it since. Sounds really good.

[@MrBilgey]

Superb version and great production.

[@NipkowDisk]

Never heard this cover of Chris Montez's song before (or even the group, and I'm 54!), but they did a great job in my opinion. Thank you for posting this.

[@attackspeed9]

Great sound!

[@kieranhalpin8239]

brilliant show.

[@sandsoftime1954]

Even before I listened to this version , I knew I wasn't going to like it. nothing could be as good as the original . Right ? Wrong! This is an excellent cover, maybe a little smoother and more refined than Chris Montez's version. The bottom line is that it is just a great song . Recorded over a half century ago and still going strong. Reflects the mood and spirit of the early sixties.

[@Patrick-pi9nm]

+Sands of time ..Its great :)

[@tippimail1]

+Sands of time I'm with you on that,and the video put it right over the top!11 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Great song, nice visuals. Strange moment at 1:00 - a screwdriver used as drumstick.

[@seancurran6727]

I noticed that, too, it gets a great sound!

Way back when people were slender.

Video spot on however the Chris Montez version is to be preferred for this application.

[@himynamesclint7353]

Groovy ! baby

[@CountryGent67]

Hey anyone else see the girl dancing with incense with a someone in a plague doctor mask behind her at 1:20? And then the plague dr. again at 1:27??? What clip or movie are they from?!?

[@Durham_Francis]

It's called Lightfast, a German movie about permanent waterproof 1-2mm known as Lumocolor and can be left uncapped for days without drying up, unlimited.

[@niccoarcadia4179]

So this is how women never got fat

[@summerscindy1946]

I'm here .....but Chris wrote that song... I also went to school with him...

[@kimratrockmetaleirof]

Cool and funny 😎 anyone know the name of the movie where the group 'small faces' appears?

[@adrianlackey5107]

Some of the footage of the go-go chicks on the tiny stage with mirrors is from The Al Adamson Sleaze classic *Psycho A-Go-Go*. The footage with space chicks in front of mirrors is from The Mario Bava/Vincent Price film *Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Bombs*. Sorry, I didn't recognize Steve Marriot and company to give you a good answer. Could you give me a time, so I might help you better?

[@kimratrockmetaleirof]

Adrian Lackey Sure, thank you! 😎👍

[@adrianlackey5107]

Kim Lima Couldn't help notice you gave me thumbs up on a comment on a *completely* unrelated Alice Cooper clip and this post in such short time. Am I leaving some sort thread out there that's easily followed? I haven't had a stalker since the 90's, so I have red flags going of. Or maybe my ex-girlfriend was right when she told me "It's all about you, isn't it?". She accused me of being a narcissist. I told her, "Nah. There's not enough in it for me"...

[@adrianlackey5107]

Kim Lima What does it mean exactly to be added to one's circle(s)? If it's meant to be a complement, then thank you.

[@doncamillof]

+Adrian Lackey According to the IMDB there are 2 "Dr. Goldfoot" films: "Bikini Machine" of 1965 and "Girl Bombs" of 1966. It seems that the latter has been used here, given the presence of actors Franco and Ciccio (at 2:20).

[@shadygrady65]

Great cover version! Interesting at beginning of the video where the girl dances to the jukebox and people walk by ignoring her. What movie scene is this from? It looks very retro.

[@midnittkr]

Oh so there were great drugs in the 60's......lol

[@donovanwalker3993]

Excellent camera-work, and the song is so good that it must be hard to foul it up : this version is tame compared with the original, but it still sounds okay.

[@francessaunders944]

The Shimmy.

[@finkemon9]

Great video!

[@charliebattis8004]

one weird video but 68 was a real weird year

[@flamencoprof]

Apparently in those days what was between women's legs was an attractive yet mysterious phenomenon.

[@5kylord]

BTW what is the name of the movie with the lovely little lady in the white pants dancing by the Jukebox?

[@markwells9868]

Nice Ole Song...HEHEHE

[@stigimark1]

shake it.......

[@johnslocum7100]

love to know the source video of the two brunette go go gils

i should have read further LOL

[@michaeloffruitshack]

what movie is the first clip from?

[@Cassumbay]

Hohe Videokunst!

Slower version but still good!!!

[@cierakitty]

Poor girl in white jeans by the jukebox, she got no soul for the beat

[@johnnypenn8237]

Bobbie LaVanway Don't be to harsh on her, she is just a young girl having fun. The world will get nicer if the people will.

[@dapsapsrp]

@@johnnypenn8237 He wasn't being harsh, just honest. She really didn't dance well at all, kind of like I can't dance.

[@stewartfraser2574]

She's dancing to a different song, and so are the other go go dancers, the music they are dancing to is faster than the one playing on the video. Anyone know what the original music is?

[@sahara62]

Belmondo ?

[@ucimyy4u]

Sorry but the video inserts of the girl at the jukebox kill the vibe of the video. Why would you mix original film and recent video - the transition is a shock!

[@johnnypenn8237]

+Pierre Cardone Whats your point, dip stick?

[@nickmk1]

+Pierre Cardone does it really matter ??????!!!!!!!

[@tedsmith9125]

BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL BY CHRIS MONTEZ!!!! BTW, DID THIS VERSION EVER CHART IN THE US?

[@Muzikgirl67]

Ted Smith Hi there! It certainly did chart here in the U.S. my friend!...Exactly 48 years ago this week, back on June 7, 1969, this fine lil' ditty climbed to #92 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart! (which is much too low in my humble opinion!)...Hope that helps a little, and have a sensational summer! Take Care! Elizabeth💿🎧📻🎤📟🎵

[@karhu177]

I admire the effort and critical choices that went into making a video so exuberantly dumb. It's kind of perfect in a way that eludes me.
