It’s Saturday morning and it’s time for something different.
This is a video from 1966 by the Vogues performing (well, kind of) on the TV show Hullabaloo. It was an interesting time in popular music. It was at the cusp, before the explosion of pyschedelia, before Woodstock, before the anger of the late 60’s. The British Invasion was still in full swing and the Beatles were working on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band , the album which would spark the coming change.
But here are the Vogues, sporting the clean cut look of the early 60’s and matching cardigan sweaters. This is really a pretty good video for the time. Maybe it’s because it’s such a great song. Anyway this is Five O’Clock World…
Great song!
I had to do a little Googling to remind myself that I had last heard it as the theme song for the second season of “The Drew Carey Show”, accompanied by some pretty good choreography. Check it out on YouTube:
(Unfortunately the audio and video seem just a tad out of synch but it’s still worth watching.)
Thanks for the memory.
I always liked that opening for the Drew Carey show but liked the look from the old Hullabaloo show. Either way, great song.
