Scopitone Crewneck Sweatshirts

This Scopitone film shamelessly promotes the Scopitone machines being marketed in France and the United States. This certainly makes scopitiones look fun!

Gale Garnett's scopitone classic Where Do You Go To Go Away? asks the question: where do you go to get a Satan statue?

Neil Sedaka's performance in his Calendar Girl video is awesome but it fails to answer Miss July's question"How come Shirley doesn't have to wear the turkey costume?!"

Frankie Randall sings about a yellow-haired woman in the Wild West!. You just can't trust them...

Gary Lewis and the Playboys Perform Little Miss Go-Go.

Donna Theodore sings Experience Unnecessary, discussing how she'll settle for a guy who doesn't necessarily know what he's doing. The dancing by the couples in this film also proves the adage that newlywed couples only need one pair set of pajamas between the two of them. "She wants a man, not a mouse." Although not a terribly well-known name these days, Donna Theodore was an experienced entertainer in the 1960s, playing the Copacabana, the Fountainebleau Hotel, the Fairmont Hotel, and the El San Juan in Puerto Rico. Later she had a career in Broadway to some success.

Kay Starr sings Around The World In 80 Days.

Jody Miller knocks iyt out of the park with this version of Things. Dean Martin and Nancy Sinatra got nothing on her!

The theme song of the spy movie by the same name, sung by Joi Lansing! You have to listen to the lyrics to believe them.

It's a socially relavent song... that you can dance to!

Cool song. Interesting dance moves. Spanish lessons. What's not to like?

Gale sings about a guy named Small Potatoes (don't ask) who winds up going to jail. He wears a bowler.

Sue Raney performs Before The Rain. Lots of lying down in the grass.

January Jones sings That Old Gang of Mine. Wow. Really.

Barbara McNair sings Moulin Rouge.

Sonny King gets doused with water when his wife leaves him for putting letters on her underwear. He gets back at her in threesome and putting letters on the blanket.

Vicki Carr belts out "Everything I've got belongs to you" in a film which includes really unrealistic street fighting scenes.

Listen to Gale Garnett singing about a guy called Small Potatoes. I've watched this one a hundred times and I have yet to see a single potato.

Herb Alpert plays Tijuana Taxi while his dancers annoy the heck out of tourists.

Joi Lansing does the song The Silencers, from the movie of the same name with Dean Martin.

Princess Leilani does the hula in the scopitone film which advises you to keep your eyes on the hands...

Billie Lee Riley sings Red Dress in this scopitone.

Barry Young's One Has My Name, The Other Has My Heart is an example of that very narrow musical genre, the Cheating Song. This is the premier scopitone cheating song and the film does it justice. Barry sings about being married but wishes he wasn't. Features the Ol' Ball And Chain and it isn't a good advetisement for Wheaties!

Damita Jo sings Silver Dollar. It used to only be a silver dime but... inflation. Damita Jo makes sure you know that a woman never knows what a sweet man she's got until she turns him down. Then she starts making analogies about what a man without a woman is like. I'm not sure about a few of them but overall I think she makes her point!

In this scopitone Bobby Vee shows up late at a beach party. Surprisingly, everyone is happy to listen to him belt out his song. There is something creepy about men wearing nothing but speedos and a Vespa while following Bobby Vee and his date... just sayin'. Dancer Millie Hamm is also seen in this one. She was almost made famous in Las Vegas Hillbillies!

Ethel Ennis sings "I've Got That Feeling!"

Princess Leilani appears in this scopitone film of Smouldering Drums.

The Hondells perform Sea Cruise. On a boat. Naturally.

Nino Tempe and April Stevens belt out this cool one.

If you've ever seen The Race Is On and love scopitones you'll appreciate this design. If you're a psychiatrist and have SEEN The Race Is On you'll wonder...

During Operation Iraqi Freedom the Multi-National Corps Iraq (MNCI) formed an Information Operations Task Force to combat enemy disinformation and misinformation and to reach target audiences with positive information about the Coalition. IOn effect, we wanted the insurgents to dance to OUR tune instead of the other way around. What better nickname could we have than Task Force Scopitone, named after the crazy multilingual music videos of the 1960s! The "badge" incorporated twin palm trees as a frame, a sword with a lightning bolt signified information as a weapon and the snake being hit with it represented the insurgency.

Dick and Dee Dee show how it to be absolutely miserable while everyone else is enjoying themselves. Listening to Dick and Dee Dee is a start.

Gale Garnett asks the questions no one asks: Who is known as a sport? What's with the guys in the armor? What is the geography of Hell? Where did we get the Satan statue? Be sure to check out the magic suitcase.
