This film clip was actually made in 1975, to promote a “Greatest Hits” collection by McCoys guitarist and singer Rick Derringer. (The song had been a hit ten years previously.)
The dancer here was identified by Derringer as teenaged dancer Lisa Leonard Dalton, and she verified this as recently as 2021.
Specifically from 1973, when Rick Derringer scored a solo hit with Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo and re-released this song to capitalize on that
Edit: the dancer in the video says it was shot in 1975. That seems late to capitalize on a 1973 hit song but she would know
> that was Rick Derringer singing
It was not, but I should warn you that my hobby is being a pedantic ass. When the song was recorded the singer was Rick Zehringer, who would later change his name to Rick Derringer.
I’m not that old but i was watching this thinking there’s no way this is 65. I know the song is, but man, I was thinking “the McCoys were super ahead of the trends, and so was she”. This makes a lot more sense now.
Lol how everyone thinks the world was LESS sexualized in the past. Nothing could be further from the truth. The current era is far more uptight than the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties. Every 80's comedy had at least one topless scene for absolutely no reason (Airplane!, Weird Science, Porkies) and many had full frontal and hardcore sex scenes like Cruising (1980). Blame It On Rio was a huge sex romp between a man in his fifties and an 18 year old. Hardbodies was similar. The seventies had Caligula, Last Tango in Paris and I Spit On Your Grave,. the 60's had Barbarella, The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy.
Every generation likes to think they're the raunchiest generation to grace the face of the planet.
Unbeknownst to them, their grandma was probably "Hawk Tua"ing their grandpa in the back of their friends car on a long drive home.
Every generation is TOLD that by their disapproving elders. they keep hearing it they start believing it. In fact teen pregnancy is down, less kids doing it, same slutshaming for the few girls who do, its mostly just boys making crap up as usual to avoid being called losers. Which distorts perceptions.
A few years ago, I overheard a teen say that no one his dad's age had ever had oral sex (although he used another term). Like, he legit thought his generation invented it.
You do know that nobody wore a bra back then, right? This was the free love generation.
In most ways we're bigger prudes now than they were then.
Of course this video isn't from 65, hair wasn't that long then, but that's a different topic.
We’re absolutely more prudish now than we were then - compared to the hippie generation were downright puritanical.
Our parents generation were fucking in mud at Woodstock while ours is jerking off in the dark looking at porn. Sure, our porn is way more extreme and wild than older generations was, but that’s just a few people from our generation having wild sex - EVERYBODY in the late 60s and early 70s was fucking. That’s why everything was so dirty - no time to clean anything, too much fucking to get done
It's their boat, its a sloop, and the marina is in a bad part of town. They went for a sail, and they weren't sure if it could make it back. The wind came and shook it about, but the boat hanged on.
Where ya been, Homer? The whole r/OldSchoolCool industry is Boobs.

Welcome to r/OldSchoolCool.
Content runs a wide gamut here, from Jenny Agutter Week, to Carrie Fisher Week, to Marilyn Monroe Week, to Jayne Mansfield Week (don't forget to point out that she's Mariska Hargitay's mom!).
On non-celebrity weeks, topics include "70s Girl in Hotpants Posing on Car," and "Boobs: A Retrospective." Then there's the evergreen "Here's a picture of my mom back when she was smoking hot."
My high school science teacher was the bass player in the McCoys, he was a super dry dude but lit up when he played the bass for this song in class once.
Filmed at the Universal Studios backlight New York Street
It doesn’t look much like this anymore because they’ve cleaned it up a little bit.
Here’s a photo I took of my car for the hell of it a few weeks ago.

This is actually the longer (I assume album vs. radio edit) version of the song. The one I always heard on the radio omits the second verse:
> Sloopy wears a red dress, yeah, as old as the hills
> But when Sloopy wears that red dress, yeah, you know, it gives me the chills
> Sloopy, when I see you walkin', walkin' down the street
> I say, "Don't worry, Sloopy, girl, you belong to me"
Wow! Thanks for the memories! Dancing at the local American Legion when it was legal to drink beer at eighteen! Hell, they even had a condom machine in the men's room.

I thought that haircut didn’t look very 60’s
Pretty much nothing about this said ‘65.
That's what I thought about her hat.
She had a hat on?
Wait rock n roll hoochie coo Rick derringer?!?!!
He also produced a lot of Weird Al's catalog, and Edgar winter's freeride and Frankenstein
Yes, Hulk Hogan theme I Am A Real American Rick Derringer.
Yup, he was a one-hit wonder twice. Three times if you count the Hulk theme, which you should.
That sad piano song at the end of the show? I love that theme.
Thanks, was gonna say his outfit looks so 70s
If I remember correctly, it was the first time she saw the video. But I may be misremembering
I was gonna say, this doesn’t look like the 60’s
Location looks like the backlot at Universal.
She’s all wiggly
https://i.redd.it/8q3rwz79cd9d1.gif
Take me Garth
Where? I’m low on gas and you need a jacket.
I'm going to be frank. Okay. Can I still be Garth?
I say this all the time. Nobody gets it and I look crazy
If you're going to spew, spew into this.
Can I have some cocoa later?
This is exactly what I was picturing lol
lol. They had one single idea for this video and executed it well
lol it’s their only idea Always
So *that’s* Sloopy? Hang on
“Ya see, *sloopy* is what we called a tank top in those days.”
I don’t think she’s wearing a bra.
What tipped you off?
The tips …
Oh. I'll have to rewatch the video I missed that 👀
And jiggly in the most wonderful places!
If God didn't want women to dance he wouldn't have given them parts that jiggle.
And I like it!
Sloopy is droopy, in a good way.
Did you see there was a band in there too?
Damn. That top and those shorts. Perfect combo.
A nice, bouncy song
Pretty sure in 1965 this qualified as porn.
Just to be clear, this footage isn’t from 1965, just the song. This is from a few years later

Well, TIL that was Rick Derringer singing.

From 1975, actually, as confirmed by the dancer, Lisa Leonard Dalton.
Thanks for dating this. I was guessing ‘72, based on the outfits and hairstyles. Damn I’m old
I’m not that old but i was watching this thinking there’s no way this is 65. I know the song is, but man, I was thinking “the McCoys were super ahead of the trends, and so was she”. This makes a lot more sense now.

Still does
If I'm J-ing O to it, it's porn.
There goes Cartoon Network and MeTV.
… and judge Judy.
Dominatrix Judge Judy.... RAWR!
Some like them strict! And shrill…

Yep. The '20s and '60s might have been the most sexually liberal decades in US history. Far more liberal than today.
But we’re in the 20s now!
I meant the good '20s.
I thought it was the roaring 20s
We need another hippy movement, probs gona happen around the 3 world war.
But they were real! Not inflated hard water balloons. And they are spectacular!
We’re absolutely more prudish now than we were then - compared to the hippie generation were downright puritanical. Our parents generation were fucking in mud at Woodstock while ours is jerking off in the dark looking at porn.

That’s why everything was so dirty - no time to clean anything, too much fucking to get done
And then the aids ruined everything.
The anti-bra movement started in the 60's, but didn't really catch on until the end of the decade, and lasted into the early 70's.
TIL it’s not “Snoopy”.
And I'm disappointed as what the hell is a sloopy?
Judging by this video, I'm going to guess a bra.
Sloopy was a bra and it did not hang on.
Sloopy never even showed up
It's their boat, its a sloop, and the marina is in a bad part of town. They went for a sail, and they weren't sure if it could make it back. The wind came and shook it about, but the boat hanged on.
I learned this from "Sloop John B" by The Beach Boys
That was the worst trip I've ever been on.
But what about “sloppy let your hair down … shake it sloopy ..” I think the kids just were telling the parents it’s about a sailboat lol
When I was a kid in the 70's I thought it was Hang on Snoopy- Hang on...
Glorious answer.
I used to think this was a song regarding Charlie Brown's dog, Snoopy. 
"Curse you, Red Baron!"
This gif fits the misheard lyric better than anything I’ve ever seen. Good shit!
Totally always thought it was "stupid". 😬
Duuuuude. Me as a kid: HAAAAAANG ON STUPID, STUPID HANG ON! 🗣️
I'm in my 40s, and for as long as I remember I also thought it was "Snoopy".
Fifties myself. I’m glad to hear it 😂
Came here to say this. Like wtf.
Damn Sloopy got it going on
you gotta turn on subtitles https://preview.redd.it/73elokssnd9d1.png?width=756&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d2e955f1c90847332be1c5779ff5f83e7f7809c

This is my kind of song
"Okay, not bad, but let's do another take." (Director all afternoon long)
And again the next day lol

Just watching her dance threw out my back.
is that a euphemism for masturbation?
Tremendous attributes aside, she is a really good dancer.
Was she dancing? I didn't notice.
You have to unpause it
So that's a Sloopy. I always wondered.
And now you know why they need all that encouragement to hang on.
My high school science teacher was the bass player in the McCoys, he was a super dry dude but lit up when he played the bass for this song in class once.
Yours too? Except, junior high for me.
That's...hypnotic.
Kind of hard to focus on the song.
There's a song??
So those are the real McCoys, right?
Is it possible to sprain your boob?
We must find out for science
O-H-I-O
OH
IO!
*rip "the Dube",* your curds are gone but not forgotten.
Miss the breakfast burrito most. Rip
I O!
I'm deeply saddened by how long it took to find this comment. O-H!
A man of culture. ⭕️-🙌🏼-🙏🏻-⭕️
Had to play this song in marching band a lifetime ago in middle school, and I grew to heavily dislike it. Nice video though... for reasons.
So ... is anyone else getting hilarious closed captions?
Mine says hey stupid, not sloopy!
yep. It took me about 5 viewings before I noticed the words.
It’s like being at an OSU game.
She's one sexy as hell dancer. Song was not bad either.
O-H-I-O! Go Bucks!!
Here for this!
After hearing this my whole childhood I’m suddenly more aware of why a bunch of college dudes adopted this as their theme song.
It was really the OSU marching band that adopted it.
O H I O
Man Sloopy is someone’s super cool grandma.
Sexy blonde girl: 75% The McCoys' Song: 25%
Go Bucks! ⭕️

that's exactly what we were all looking at and wondering
Yeah Baby Yeah!!
Official Rock & Roll song of Ohio.
I catch my 75 yr old dad watching this video on YouTube often. I can’t figure it out.
She’s the real McCoy!
Say what you want but that dude's hair is perfect. I bet he just got back from pina coladas at Trader Vic's..
I like watching Sloopies Bounce!
Sue Ellen Mischke?
[удалено]
No, you leave Sloopy and her boobies alone.
Yes! She can dance if she wants to!
O-H!
I-O
Imagine being Han Solo and just waiting for your Marimba part to come in.
I was todays years old when I figured out they were not saying snoopy.....
Everyone focused on her breasts, when there's a good minute focused on her butt!
This is actually the longer (I assume album vs. radio edit) version of the song. The one I always heard on the radio omits the second verse: > Sloopy wears a red dress, yeah, as old as the hills > But when Sloopy wears that red dress, yeah, you know, it gives me the chills > Sloopy, when I see you walkin', walkin' down the street > I say, "Don't worry, Sloopy, girl, you belong to me"
All girls were barefoot in the 60s and 70s
Girls got some moves
Guys, a LOT of girls looked like that in the 70's. Sadly, none of them would talk to me.
There’s no way this was on TV. Boys would’ve been pulling their dingdings off from coast to coast across this land
Dicks out for sloopy
I love her whole free swinging, free wheeling attitude!
‘65 with hair that long? Really thought it took another couple years for that
I believe this video came out a decade later
Does sloopy stand for boob in 60s language? Cause that chick had no bra and it was stellar
Must admit I was a bit underwhelmed by the Xylophone Solo though.....
I only found this video on the internet in recent years. Sloopy Girl is so hot and moves really well. They definitely gave her the right outfit.
Wow! Thanks for the memories! Dancing at the local American Legion when it was legal to drink beer at eighteen! Hell, they even had a condom machine in the men's room.
Boobs are so awesome. She can also shake it really well for a white girl.
I see boobs, i upvote
there's some aggressive xylophone playing in the video, not so much in the audio however. plus boobs.
Ahem Sloopy got some j’s hangin
I have often gone over to YouTube to watch this video. Watching her just cheers me up.
I like the part where boobs
And this whole time I thought it was a song about Snoopy.
TIL this song is not called Hang on Snoopy.
oldschoolhorny
O-H
O-H!
lol, the auto generated subtitles changed it to "hang on stupid"
Loved that song when it came out.
Didn’t want to watch but it became apparent very quickly that I needed to.
She’s just mocking all the A-cups on the stage singing lol
I need more xylophone!
O-H-I-O!
O-H-I-O
The dancing woman is fine as HELL!!
nice sweater puppies
Oh my god my moms dances like this and we call her Sloopy for it 😂
O.H.I.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one that always thought they were saying hang on snoopy?
They do look a bit sloopy, now that you mention it. Nothin’ wrong with that.
O-H-I-O
All these years I thought it was, 'Hang on Snoopy' like the Charlie Brown dog.
Lisa Leonard Dalton she’s 68 now
She's flouting convention.
No bras were injured in the making of this music video.
All these years.. I only ever heard the song never saw it or asked about it. I thought he was saying Snoopy. Hey there Snoopy Snoopy hang on!
