Musical Interlude: Five O'Clock World (1965)

From Hullabaloo comes a live performance of the Vogues' "Five O'Clock World". There are clips that dub over the original or remastered album versions of the song, but on Hullabaloo, they put more emphasis on live performances.



This episode aired in January 1966. 21 years later, "World" was included on the soundtrack to the Robin Williams dramedy, "Good Morning, Vietnam". Nearly a decade after that, Drew Carey co-opted it for his self-titled ABC sitcom, and created a boss opening sequence to go with it.

Always loved this song! Sounds great live too! A lot of songs from that era rarely sounded recognizable when performed live unfortunately.
