I'm trying to find even just a single redeeming quality.
I'll keep working on it and try to get back to you...

Doesn't exactly reflect the '60s as I remember them.

As someone who grew up in the 1960s, I would say that that was what someone who was my parents age or older thought was a kid's version of something "groovy".
As a teen then, I think my brothers and I would have been rolling on the floor laughing when this came on the TV screen.
And now?... I just cringe thinking that someone might see that and think it actually represents the 1960s and the Younger Generation then.
My wife says this video should come with a barf bag.

Here's another version of what network television in 1967 thought was a good idea. Raquel Welch doing a song-and-dance cover of the song "Bang! Bang! (My Baby Shot Me Down)"
Just for context, this was the version we teenagers listened to.
Terry Reid's version

And again for context, the mainstream and better known version by Cher back in the day

To be fair, it's a fantastic version. I bet Simon loved it.
It's also hilarious.
Comedy is just a lost art.

Nothin' screams "hippie counter culture" quite as loud as a yellow, patent leather vest...
Or not.
Am I right?

Or under "who else did it at all"?
Well..of course, there was Bobby and Sissy.
Utter desecration at it's...uh..."best"(?)...
We're not 'zackly talkin' Nicolas Bros. or Fred Astaire caliber, there...

Not much different than a few of the current music videos I've seen on YouTube. And possbily even better than a few things I've seen Jimmy Fallon do on his show....

One has to ask one's self, "Self, who were the producers and choreographers that thought this was good work?..."

I used to see Cab Calloway almost every day when I worked at Belmont Park, and he was such a beautiful human. Always called me "son", even though he knew my name.
