Great 60s Pop – 20: Lesley Gore

Lesley Gore - It's My Party

Today’s kids don’t know the meaning of the word twee, I swear. This is taken from the 1965 film Ski Party. Whoa. Crazy coach parties, crazy times!

…and one from Batman I don’t recall seeing before… Weird how all most of the comments on her videos on YouTube seem obsessed with the idea that’s she’s a lesbian. Like it fucking matters.

    She can’t be a lesbian. Look, she’s in love with Burt Ward!

    Yeah, OK.
