60s Redux...

[Lord Jim]

My daughter is involved in a theater/musical project where they are supposed to do a "60s" montage...

They've already got one bit put together based on The 5th Dimension's Age Of Aquarius, (Very cute; a dozen teenage girls wearing bandannas, Tye-died shirts, face paint, and bell bottom pants singing "This is the dawning of the Age Of Aquarius"... )

But Tati and her best friend, (they are the "producers" and "directors" of this production) asked me for suggestions for 60s musical and dance routines they could do...

After reminding her for the umpteenth time that I am NOT "60s generation" (I'm 70's generation; nobody wants to do a musical salute to disco... )

I said I'd see what I could come up with...

And I came across this...it really fits the bill, and I have to say Nancy Sinatra was quite the looker in her day: (they'll do it a little less sleazy)

[MajGenl.Meade]

Probably not "Let The Sun Shine In" from Hair though.... right?

[wesw]

oh come on man, think! turn her on to some R E S P E C T

[wesw]

a little more Re Re , for you listening pleasure...

[Lord Jim]

The Blues Brothers are 80s...

Plus it has to be stuff that can involve about a dozen girls...(they don't all have to be in every single routine, but they all have to be involved) and also, being an all-girl high school, there can't be anything that requires guys...(an aspect of this of which heartily approve... )

[Lord Jim]

A little Diana Ross and The Supremes might work:

  Well, so much for anything out of "Dirty Dancing".

Right movie, wes, but the wrong scene.  He wanted some dance moves.



And then there were these guys and this song, which actually *WAS* released in the 60s...



-"BB"-

[wesw]

yeah jim, but THINK was a 1968 song....

anyway, thanks at least it gave me a reason to make my daughter listen to Aretha..., she liked it.

then I played her this....

[Joe Guy]

If they want to go to the beginning of the 60s, they could do something that involves the Twist.

Like this...

[wesw]

or a little Alice in Wonderland skit..., but I guess that if boys are out, drugs are out too.., but it captures the sixties

[wesw]

and this was the sixties too.

seeing as how women are in all combat rolls now (which I dislike, extremely)

and depending on how ambitious they are...

I can see an avant gard type performance of this working...

.

...but I think your nancy Sinatra one would be more fun...

[wesw]

sorry gob, I shot myself at :51 into the song...., I m sure the rest of it was great.

[Lord Jim]

No Gen'l....

Sorry to disappoint you, but there will be no teenage girl nudity...

[Lord Jim]

I shot myself at :51 into the song....

See, now that's why you shouldn't have that shotgun wes...

Are you bleeding out?

[wesw]

no. the song sucked all the life out of me at about :30 seconds in.

it was like shootin a zombie...., no effect.

I m gonna try hurling myself in front of a live haul chicken truck....

this is Frank Perdue country....

[Lord Jim]

I m gonna try hurling myself in front of a live haul chicken truck....

Be sure to have somebody film it and upload it to Youtube...

It'll probably go viral....

[wesw]

there is a joke about a chicken truck and a parrot, but it s not fit for this thread....

[wesw]

don t say viral and chickens in the same sentence around here, they are scared to death of the bird flu....
