Media Watch: Trash A Go Go Again Again! Dance Wars started off with the fun classic Land of A Thousand Dances (The Memphis arrangement crafted for Wilson Pickett in 1966 -- NOT the original funky vocal arrangement by Cannibal and the Headhunters in 1965.) The costumes were from the WRONG decade for this song, otherwise it was their best number yet. I'd hate to say this show lost focus when there wasn't much focus to lose, but it sure wasn't fair to eliminate contestants with songs that were too hard for most professionals to sing.

Ya' gotta know how to Pony!
Left: The set of NBC's Hulaballoo! in NYC 1965, with Los Angeles' own Cannibal and the Headhunters' album inserted onstage (Album cover L to R) Richard "Scar" Lopez, songwriter Frankie "Cannibal" Garcia, (Top R) Joe "YoYo" Jaramillo and (Bottom R) Bobby "Rabbit" Jaramillo. The dancer on the upper right was named Lada Edmunds Jr. Her choreographer later went on to create A Chorus Line. The vocal group still performs.

Right: Hollywood's Whiskey A Go Go circa 1964. The original discotheque of the same name was founded in Paris, France about a year or so earlier.
