The Cramps, "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns"

Lux Interior and Ivy are the coolest couple in coupledom. They make pretty music together and pretty videos as well. No one can work a sequined bathing suit like Ivy. No one!

Billy Zoom, Brian Setzer & James Intveld

Good Gosh Almighty! Is it possible that this really exists? From an 80's era cable access show called "Art Fein's Poker Party", we find ~X~'s Billy Zoom, the Stray Cats' Brian Setzer (rockin' a sweet pomp-mullet) and James Intveld jamming to "Good Rockin' Tonight." Crazy, baby! Ca-ray-zee!

Johnny Cash impersonating Elvis

Johnny Cash does his special rendition of Elvis Presley, good stuff!

Is it Man, or Astroman?

Dig the surfalicious sounds of Man, or Astroman?

The Collins Kids, "Razzle Dazzle"

Larry & Lorrie Collins, on The Steve Allen Show, 1958

Sure the skit's a bit corny, but Larry Collins, at age 12, rocks harder than you on his double neck guitar whilst cuttin' a mean rug. Jealous, aren't ya?

Untamed Youth

"Untamed Youth" filmed in 1957, starred Mamie Van Doren featuring this crazy dance scene. The kids are all in Juvenile Hall for being scandelous in their behavior: Crazy Swing Dancing! Can you handle it? I think that you can!

Hellzapoppin'!

When I first saw this dance scene years ago, it blew my mind! Thanks to youtube, it's magically re-appeared. I can't believe that this 60 year old clip had not been more prominent in our culture. The predecessor to rock and roll, nobody holds a candle to this dance group!
