Hilarious, I like how the two guys on the pianos actually seem to be bopping their heads to the beat sometimes and the old people having a good time dancing. Sterling Morrison pointed out that it is a good song to dance to.

I heard that Lawrence Welk once covered Louie Louie. Apparently his version was called Louis Louis. :lol:

So this is the guy Lenny Bruce was taking the piss out of all those years ago? Ahhhhh

We Europeans didn't get his brand of lounge-pop. We did get James Last though.... :roll:

Well, I do have a Lawrence Welk CD that's disguised as "World's Favorite Polkas" but REALLY plays The Sex Pistols' "Rock and Roll Swindle" - I can't imagine what the target audience thought of THAT! LOL.
