    When the news can dent your faith in the human race, this video restores it. I hope six years down the road, all involved are happy and well.

    Found this today because daughter age 13 was asking about the Watusi. Wonderful production, great outfits very 60's took me waay back to then. Excellent choreography, and you all look so dam cute!!! It is now 8 years after recording this and I am sure things have changed for you, but like so many stars of film, you will always have this to look back on and share with your own generations to come. Wait until the smartie says "grandma is just clueless" and you can bring this out and say, "hey, I was funner than you!!!" Kudos to all in front and behind the camera for this.

    "We're on camera" is still THE classic line from the video. Fantastic job of converting to HD.

    I’ve seen this video so many times because I love this show. This copy looks like you enhanced it. Beautiful picture. I wish I had all of these shows on DVD. I would pay over 100.00. Thank you so very much who ever is responsible for posting these videos.👍

    This is really great! Love this! Please do more!!! I know this is like 7 or 8 years old but this is a great concept! Current "kids" doing dance and skits that look like they're from the 50's or 60's! We need stuff like this!

    Absolutely beautiful - thank you for posting! Like many commenters stated, this show gives me faith if not hope in the future of America, may be all is not lost. It is wonderful to see young people acting like "ladies" and "gentlemen", like we were taught in my youth (born 1950). I was fortunate to live the "American Graffiti days" and this presentation brings me back to a time of innocence, freedom, and optimism. Thank you James for this uplifting production - you are our future, may God bless you all! Ciao, L (Veteran)

    Definitely a much crisper, better balanced image, certainly nothing like 1960's television! I remember that era's TV well, with it's Black & White transmissions and the TV set's "Fine Turning" knob, to rid the screen of "Snow!" Today's television is as much a curse as it is an upgrade from the 60s!

    Please enjoy this new version of the world famous Watusi Dance:
    Please note:
    Tusi (Noun)= Swear
    Matusi (plural) = Multiple Swearing
    Watusi = Peope Who Swear or like Swearing

    I've got this on vinyl on the 'Top 10 Hits Original Artists' Wyncote label LP! I kept thinking of one of my first fancies in life, Gillian Bailey - Billie in 'Here Come The Double Deckers!' - watching the girl front and centre with the pony tail.

    0:43 I’m just wondering why girls do that with their hands? Why do they stick them out at their hips. Look at the center girl. She’s doing it. Is there some science or reasoning behind doing it? There’s no wrong answer

  • @only1ldrennan
    @only1ldrennan Před 3 lety +2

    Looks like that was a LOT of fun & how cool of them to let y’all take over the studio like that.
    I don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, but you realize by now that the dance you were doing was NOT the Watusi right?
    It was very good and very well rehearsed, but just not the Watusi I’m afraid. 😕
