as I was cleaningthe coffee off my screen I just realized something. This particular style of music has not returned ....yet. If I may be so bold, I predict that teenagers in 2020 , having exhausted everything else to annoy their parents, will glom on to this music and the particular style of dress, much like many teens did with the swing music era.

Can't wait. I'm saving up my tokes.

This vid was also a riot!

10. Damn, is THAT a 60's band name or what?

Of course he was actually sponsored by the Honolulu Fruit gum company.

9. This one's obviously fake, but still hilarious:

Welk's musical guest performs "Sister Ray."
