I was 18 when this song became a massive AM radio hit. Going down the highway at 100 mph in my '58 Ford with this song turned way up was beautiful! It is still one of my top five favs.
I had a '58 Ford when I was 18. It had a 352 with manual transmission and overdrive and it was a blast on the highway. The radio in that car had vacuum tubes although I believe that instant on transistor radio was optional.
Was it Boom radio you heard it on? That's where I first heard it...I'm 58 and I can't believe such a great band went virtually unnoticed in the UK as I had never heard of them before.
Too good to be true. irresistible song. irresistible women. This has instantly become my favourite video of all time. And I don't think any video will ever come close to it again. Thanks for the upload.
"Pop Gear," aka, "Go Go Mania," a British made movie is where the original video is from. It is called "Gold Pants Dance." From 1964-65 when all things "Gold," were in vogue because of the success of "Goldfinger."
I knew these guys. At least most of them. They were absolutely a bitchin' garage band, That's why they're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame These guys dealt with the realities of the '60s. Vietnam and drugs (sorry Roy). Johnny Michalski was a successful conscientious objector (thank God) and became a very successful contractor. Roy Chaney was missing a big toe from a childhood bike accident and couldn't be inducted (although I think he would have been a MF, man). He's also a very successful contractor. Sean (John ) Byrne stayed in college (S-2 deferment) and became an accountant for Montgomery Ward. He sang Psychotic Reaction. I never met Ken Ellner or Butch Atkinson. Music is about people who make it big. or don't. I'm a Count Five fan.
Who choreographed the dancing and all of those moves. How did this group get together (meet)? How much practice before taping? Any future videos planned? Great job ladies. I have watched this many times because it is so good. THANKS
Damn. Why couldn't I have been born in the 40's? Then I would have been in my prime for this.. And all the cars that cost more than I make in year. Maybe my next life.
One of those songs that seemed ahead of its time back then. Garage metal in all its glory. One of my top ten as a 60s kid. The video works perfectly with the song. Great video. Lets see....I like the short hair brunette in blue with the semi-robotic/hypnotic moves followed by the woman in purple.
I like it. The dancers are doing modern dance, and are pretty good. Hot looking, too. Go go dancers were special back then, better than the sleazy women on stage these days.
this actually is from the film go go mania aka pop gear an obscure 60's teen british film to capitalize on the beatles fame it also was mainly a "music video" of the top group/singers of the time tied in with a now well know child molester Jimmy Saville
Considering the year this song was conceived, written, learned and then recorded (we forget that we sometimes first hear a new song 2 years after it was even conceived and for a garage band with no record label contract demanding 3 new albums a year (requiring 30 songs total to be written, learned, rehearsed all before it's recorded in lightning speed) the idea this sound was born as early as '63 makes you wonder who the real influences were because this song pre-dates Rubber Soul I believe and they were an LA band with only an LA following. Its sounds like a Stones song, but dare I say? Better? All I know is this sound that defines the pre-psychedelic period in rock music almost invents what the heavy bluesy psychedelic sound would become. And I dont think LSD was the influence. Just pure originality by a group that influenced but never saw the fame all of the bands that made their own versions of it, but still used the same beat and even vocals. I mean this guy could have been the lead singer of The Animals an sang Rising Sun just as well. My dad graduated from HS in '66 and was from upstate NY and saw the Stones when they toured the U.S. in '66 and every tour after and he attended Woodstock. When I played this so ng for him 2 years ago he said he'd never heard it before, and was wow'd by it, as if he were 17 hearing it for the first time. His old music instincts from that time hit him.
Hi Alan, it's Stephanie Howell. Was so intrigued by your post to me, I did a deep dive to your page here. So COOL you have this song on your Playlist, it's one of my favs!!! I hope I didn't put you off by my response to your text to me. It meant more than you can know. I just can't help being wary. About some of the things you said. A response from you would be welcome. Your play list is awesome, btw. Keep rocking! Music has gotten me through some of my darkest hours. Music is magic. And healing. Peace,my friend.
TH-cam does do a good job of keeping One-Hit-Wonders alive. I have to admit that when I first heard this song on the radio I thought that it was the latest from The Yardbirds. Was this dance routine a 'cut scene' from Goldfinger?
I can see Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale) smashing back a single-malt Scotch! @ C.B.G.B. on The Bowery in 1973 when this come up on the Rock-Ola! jukebox, and Hilly Kristal informs him of the inspiration behind the club name: "CBGB & OMFUG stands for 'Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Other Music for Uplifting Gormandizers.'"
😂Compare this to Count Five playing it live on YT(see:'The' Count Five) ; in glorious black and white, looking embarrassed and an absolutely wooden performance. This is more like it!
No faux-tribal Third World tattoos or piercings to hide behind. Imagine. These chicks had formal dance training....notice the well-trained posture etc.
Love this song!!! ❤ Shared to a couple childhood friends! 👍 Don't really care for the so-called dancing, looks like weird exercise! There's another video which has band playing on American Bandstand! I like that one better, bcuz of band! Ellen, don't know which is your Dad but his band ROCKS! Just ordered the CD & former video I saved in my email so I can, and have, played over & over! Thank You Count Five for this GREAT MEMORY! ROCK ON!!! ✌️🤘

I will say that this has to be one of the most iconic garage band songs of all time.
These guys played at my high school 50 years ago. No lie.
Wow! We’re doing this as a cover for our band.
@@melodyebuskin5490 cool!!! one of the most iconic songs of all time
and that was the last time I saw an all white dance crew!!
I was 18 when this song became a massive AM radio hit. Going down the highway at 100 mph in my '58 Ford with this song turned way up was beautiful! It is still one of my top five favs.
All/most music was on AM in the 60's!!! My little RED transistor radio w/ 9 volt batteries I bought w/my baby sitting $! 25 cents an hour!
I had a '58 Ford when I was 18. It had a 352 with manual transmission and overdrive and it was a blast on the highway. The radio in that car had vacuum tubes although I believe that instant on transistor radio was optional.
I had my 57 Belair, 327, doing the same thing!...PLAY...in...LOUD!!!
I had a '62 Rambler American with AM only and a pull out overdrive knob. I was listening to this song while doing 58 mph, floored!
Thank you for keeping my Fathers song alive! I love it ladies!
ellen wise who's your father
All thanks to your father for making such a great tune....x
Sean Byrne?
@@MostDear Yes
@@tyrevenew610 great song.
I can't believe they found all my former girlfriends to make this video. It is nice to see them again!
The ladies are 70+ now, very nicely choreographed.
I have been crazy for this song since it came out. I was 8 years old and it was so different and exciting!!
Best video of this tune that I've ever seen, outstanding!!
This is the kind of music you hear in a Tarantino film when things are about to get REALLY crazy.
THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL
I will soon be 63 years old and I don't remember hearing it until recently on an oldies radio station. Now I am addicted to it! 😂
Was it Boom radio you heard it on? That's where I first heard it...I'm 58 and I can't believe such a great band went virtually unnoticed in the UK as I had never heard of them before.
It was a local fm station in upstate South Carolina that plays music from 1954 to 1986.
@@bettylee9210 You should try Boom Radio...it's a UK based station that plays music from the 40's right up to the present day, but only good music...
I want to live in that world!
I did. What a strange trip it was. I left home at 17 when this came out in the summer of '66. Next year I was in Vietnam.
Too good to be true. irresistible song. irresistible women. This has instantly become my favourite video of all time. And I don't think any video will ever come close to it again. Thanks for the upload.
Check out Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistible if you like dancing ladies
@@rosseadie6894
That is the 1980's.
Splendidly done! I can't imagine the hours of working at the barre, practice, rehearsals, and film runs to make this happen -great work!
one of the coolest songs ever
"Pop Gear," aka, "Go Go Mania," a British made movie is where the original video is from. It is called "Gold Pants Dance."
From 1964-65 when all things "Gold," were in vogue because of the success of "Goldfinger."
was wondering where all the white women were coming from!!

I love this song for ... 50 years. The ladies are f*** good. Count five meets Space Patrol and make a Fantastic Adventures of the dancing Spaceships.
Gotta' love those 60's dance moves!
And the pants!
I sure don’t remember Those dance moves, I thought it was some kind of exercise class Haha!!
Still.. Love this song. And the girls..
These girls' hose-pants are giving me a solid GOLDFINGER reaction...
you mean sticky fingers
One of the coolest psych songs ever.
Damn. Love the 60's.
I always loved this song! Thanks for the post! Awesome!!
One of my favourite vids! Love the dancing choreography with the girls
This songs twice as good with these chicks dancing. Nice Job!
Not to mention
These chicks Spent the entire night before out at the Ranch .
Great song and great vid. For years I thought Blue Cheer performed this, and then I stumbled on it yesterday during an un-related search.
Who choreographed the dancing and all of those moves.
How did this group get together (meet)?
How much practice before taping?
Any future videos planned?
Great job ladies. I have watched this many times because it is so good. THANKS
lovely cute adorable chickipoos! 😻 👏 💞
Remember this one very well ... sounds just a little ‘ Yardbirdish ‘ . A great track from a band I would have liked to hear more from . Peter ‘A’
I was 16 and a fan of the Yardbirds.
Yes---a bit of a sound-alike. Great stuff though.
People forget just how huge an influence the Jeff Beck era Yardbirds had on American garage bands.
Great choreography and outfits!
Damn. Why couldn't I have been born in the 40's? Then I would have been in my prime for this.. And all the cars that cost more than I make in year. Maybe my next life.

They are a lovely bunch of gals!
Man, those 60s styles were killer!
Bought this in 1966 on the pye label and still got it.
Definitely hear the Yardbird's influence on this song.
All men need more of this.
Wow, go go dancers, can't beat it.
I can and I will watch this every day for the rest of my life.
✨⚡️✨💙⚡️
EVERY DAY!!!

Nice Dagmars.
The only thing missing is Ann-Marget.
I want these women wrapped up for Xmas!
I could watch this one all day...have this album btw...though this was pretty much the only song I listened to...
West Side Story moves to a psychedelic garage tune.

That girl in the purple has got some sass.
True early sixties. What a kick. Every garage band wanted to be the next Beatles. 🎳
And no fatties!
Mid 60's...1966.
Great memories ✌️❤️
This dance routine is from the movie Pop Gear. Here's the link to the routine with the original music. th-cam.com/video/UOWHjrFXdLc/w-d-xo.html
Wait. They once had white dancers??? Where'd they go?
always a racist in the crowd
Wow, Wolf whistle❤️❤️🔥
Terrific post! Thank you!

Very well rehearsed.
Nice routine for this music, a little bit captivating.
good broads doing great choreography!
I can see Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale) smashing back a single-malt Scotch! @ C.B.G.B. on The Bowery in 1973 when this come up on the Rock-Ola! jukebox, and Hilly Kristal informs him of the inspiration behind the club name: "CBGB & OMFUG stands for 'Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Other Music for Uplifting Gormandizers.'"

Great Dancing To A Great Song
And, not a single VPL in sight.
Well that was great .... Cramps got famous ...semi famous on this .but love the cramps saw them in 86
No faux-tribal Third World tattoos or piercings to hide behind. Imagine. These chicks had formal dance training....notice the well-trained posture etc.
Really cool!!!
Originally on Double Shot then on Liberty.
that video could have been done to ANY song how do we know those girls were listening to the count 5?
Of course, but then these girls are professional dancers and really you have to take it for what it is, besides they did a very good job of it.
Dude, they weren't. Who cares?
My God! Those beautiful girls are probably around 80 now!
These videos should be required to credit the songwriters.
I thought this was some kind of 'Are You Psychotic' test.
these hot ladies are now sitting around Boca Raton FL still probably shaking it at the pool at the retirement community
Maybe they're still doing this routine. 😁
When a woman was proud to be a woman.
Oh yes!!! Real beautiful natural women
No one asked pal
...and scared flacid "men" weren't threatened by them. 😅
I love it! Must get the PTSD flowing doe.
Love this song!!! ❤ Shared to a couple childhood friends! 👍 Don't really care for the so-called dancing, looks like weird exercise! There's another video which has band playing on American Bandstand!
