Note: The clips in this video are from the film Shag (1989) starring Bridget Fonda, Phoebe Cates, Annabeth Gish, and Page Hannah. The film takes place in 1963, four years after this song charted as a hit, but the song has the right syncopation for the Carolina Shag — the name of a dance … not what you were thinking!
