Oh my goodness gracious! I can’t believe I missed this! Bedazzled posted one of my very favorite scopitones ever! It’s Danyel Gérard’s “Youpi Ya Tamoure.” I first saw it on an episode of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. It was one of the crazy video clips that he played between the likes of the King of Cartoons and 10 Things You Can Do With Your Mother’s (huge) Underwear. I just loved the girls shaking their hips and the silly sound of Youpi Ya Ya Ya Youpi Ya! It was such a silly video and it stuck in my mind. Many times throughout the years I would find myself thinking of it and wishing I could see it again. Months ago, when I first discovered Bedazzled, I wrote to Spike and asked if he knew of the scopitone. He wrote back with the guy’s name and the video. Every now and then I would google it to see if someone had posted it. This evening, the vision of the girls shaking their hips hit me and I googled it. Lo and behold, Spike posted it back in August. I can’t believe it’s been that long since I visited his site! Ugh, I hate to think of the other treasures I have missed. Regardless, the video is exactly as I remember! Maybe even better! Thanks Spike!
