An unintentionally funny video from the 1960s of a girl group called ‘The Cake’. The band members from left to right are Jeanette Jacobs, Chelsea Lee & Barbara Morillo. Jeanette Jacobs, who was married to Chris Wood of the band Traffic, sadly passed away in 1980. Links: profile.myspace.com profile.myspace.com en.wikipedia.org

in 60s i believe it was called doing your own thing
@ItsybitsyspiderMamma so true!!!!
This is really great – love it
@smooches419 I was reading about them and saw pictures of your aunt, it made me a little sad. I think they were definitely ahead of their time though. Your aunt was beautiful!
@smooches419 so your mom was her sister? how did she die?
@FashienableChannel. Thank you very much. From what my mom tells me, she was great. I ever met her and her son doesn’t really remember her. He was 1 1/2 years old when she died.
ULTRA COOL
ULTRA COOL, la cancion tiene el sonic wall que fue el sello de PHIL SPECTOR, las chicas estan vestidas, mod style, por Rupert Lycett, maquilladas por Max Factor y bailan al mas puro estilo groovy, este video es una joya
The one at left is doing sophisticated boom-boom.
i heard about Cake many years back but never took the trouble to check them out at the time. After seeing this and the ‘Mockingbird’ clip I have to say that their reputation is richly deserved. For a bunch of? white chicks they did alright. Like other people I’m intrigued by the funky dancing in these clips, but more than that I wonder why the dolly one doesn’t dance? Did she have some kind of disability or something or was she just not into dancing? Anyone know?
@luckyshow
Some clueless newbie can’t tell the difference between a hippie and them? Y’know, they (the Cake) thought of Jefferson Airplane as old and preachy (remember, the members of the Cake were all teenagers) and Grace was nearing her 30s.
@lilic1
And she’s fine looking too. African-American, Greek heritage from Queens, NYC.
@sierria64
Ha…weak.
Phil Spector style, POP ART
@Thopter who is this. that chick in the green looks like a manson reject
yes, anyway i love asimetric webs .
esto es mucho mas grande de lo que parece, la puesta en escerna es ? colosal, y la musica, ese muro sonico, SONIC WALL, que es como la fiema de las producciones de Phil Spector, hasta la ropa de las chicas, eso es MARY QUANT porque lo es, ULTRA COOL
@hardkace42 Yes, Jeanette Jacobs – the girl in green – had a thing with Hendrix.
@Thopter Creative response!
I don’t need today’s shining, unrealistic shows with crap music, I just need three ladies who sing in an amazing way, who dance in a super sixties way. And I need a performance where one of them does nothing, just stands there, look at Jeanette’s face, amazing! Here is more drama than in any other spectacular giga show! Superb performance, that’s what I call music, that’s what I call singing. Thank you girls!
1) It was intentionally funny.
2) The Beavers? and Link Wray…and Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin, Sid Caesar and Steve Allen, Bilko, .. “to the Moon, Alice!”….Dobie Gillis…The Trashmen….
a lot came before this band, Cake….this had nothing to do with Charles Manson….
these girls are not hippies, anyway….they all wore crazy and colorful clothes and “long hair”
Get a spider drunk and see if it even spins a web,,,,
they sing very good..the danciing is kind of weird..the 60′s was a strange time. Like this song though. I thought the blond was Eleanor Barooshian , I could be wrong but not sure.
@joscofe
kiss off
@Thopter Um…this is creepy in 2010? Have you been asleep for the past 40 yrs? The decade from the early 60′s to the early 70′s were probably the most creative ( throughout the world) in film, music, art and fashion. Things that you take for granted as normal now (that you even own) were influenced by creative thinkers (yes many on LSD) like these. GO BACK TO YOUR TEA BAGGERS
