Have you got a link to the video? I found a couple on youtube, but no "wildwest" type.
BTW, just so you're not too disappointed; if you ever get to meet this girl, her figure may not be quite as good. Best to be prepared for these things.
rofl, I did exactly the same earlier, went pootling off to YouTube to find such video, and I too drew a blank.

I was also going to mention that presuming the girl in question was about 20ish that she'd now be nearing 70, but I didn't want to shatter the poor guys fantasies, glad to see you had no problem doing it though, lol.

thanks guys, but old video does'nt age, and if she did anything else it might be worth watching. deep throat is 30 years old but you would would'nt you?
err, no comment.
Where can the video be seen (not deep throat - The Mccoys)?
Question Author
saw it on mtv a little while ago.
The incredible girl with nuclear body and moves to match, dancing in the most sexy way, is unkown.
"yomamadontdanz" on YouTube says she is the porn queen Marilyn Cambers (from "Behind the Green Door", and many others).
I doubt it, seeing that M.C. was born 22 April 1952. "Sloopy" was recorded by the McCoys in 1965. Does the girl in this video look THIRTEEN to anybody out there? I think not.

If someone really knows who she is....I'd LOVE to know.
I've included the link to YouTube for "Hang on Sloopy", by the McCoys. Again it's <http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-78613 54299053519466&q=&hl=en>

Do a Google or Yahoo search for the song. There are a number of sites you can see the video on.

And.....that video actually belongs to a different recorded track. They re-released that video years later with a more acoustic sound track. The more 'tinny' sound is the '65 recording, but someone incorrectly titled it ('70's revamp).
In any case, you can hear the difference and watch the sounds match the video much closer on this link:

Hello,

Yes, this girl is very amazing. She is dancing like a queen on a really sexy way. Just the girl you'd like to be with.... I think she'd be +- 60 years today ! But she really feed our dreams. If anyone knows her name, I'm interested, just to know, cause she could be my mother....
Why cant we ask Rick Derringer who is sure to know when/ where they did the video and who the name of that foxy girl was. Seems everyone would like to know.
Some say this is Connie Peters from Penn. but the pictures I have seen of her do not match well. I would ask her, if she can be found or ask Rick Derringer, who is a wealth of information. He could tell us when ,where that video was made and who that foxy chick was....she is the type that young men dream about...I sure would have when in my twenties.
OK, I had to come back to say I finally got the answer - the girl with the hot moves was LIZ DERRINGER, Rick's 1st wife.
She sure does look like Petula Clark to me.

liz derringer, rick's first wife
Do the research she is not his first wife! Rick Derringer did not remember her name at the time of the video. She was an unknown girl that showed up for the time of the shoot of this video, which would have been approximately around 1975 for the re-release of his song and added lyrics about Sloopy wearing a red dress as old as the the hills etc...
Still no answer. Wow.
The Lady in question is Liz Brewer.
WolfDio has it correct it is in fact Liz Brewer NOT Rick's wife. And thats the 1975 remake of the song and not the McCoys its just Rick and a ska remake.
"My Girl Sloopy" was first recorded by the Vibrations but they were not the ones who made it famous. The McCoys with lead singer Rick Derringer did marry Liz (Elizabeth) Brewer for 22 years, and she IS the same sexy blond female who danced in the original video.
She is a world-renowned events organizer and expert on social behavior and etiquette and continues to be aired worldwide on radio & television. Liz got her start writing for Andy Warhol's Interview Magazine. Later wrote for other publication's as New York City's Daily News. She also covered the entertainment scene for CNN. Her interviews include such familiar faces as Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart and Debby Harry. Despite the wrong answers above, the popular video of the McCoys singing 'Hang on Sloopy' has the sexy, blond Liz (Elizabeth) Brewer-Darringer dancing in front of the stage.
My answer:
The dancing girl in the Hang on Sloopy video by The McCoys is responsible for enough *** over the past few decades to float a battleship !
