Now THIS is funny. Wait for the bass player's superb demonstration of showmanship at about 1:20 into the clip. If only he knew what he was starting...

What the bass player was doing was almost as hilarious as the dancer's pants.

My favorite part is at 1:48, while he's running back with the bass above his head, yet he's already in place behind the drums. It's like Quantum Leap or something!

At about 1:38 I was SURE the Marx Brothers were going to run across the screen!

And I believe the style in which that young lady was dancing is called the "buck and wing".

There is something hilarious to me about the whole deal. I wonder if playing in a band like that was attractive to females.

It's like walking by a window in you home and looking out to see your neighbour (78 year old) humping a bingo buddy. It's halarious, disgusting, but you just cant turn your head.
