From the movie "Get Yourself A College Girl"

Nice catch bongofury! 1964!

I've got an old youtube clip posted from that flick, with a full dance scene in that club with a few cuts to the tikis. I'd say it's almost definitely a set. They're dancing to the Standells version of Bony Moronie. Incidentally, if anyone likes the Standells but isn't familiar with that version by them, I believe it's straight off their Live at PJ's record, which is before their Sunset Strip days.

Also, I think I'm imagining it, but it looks like Lori Williams of Faster Pussycat fame at around the 50 sec mark. Probably not I guess.

FWIW, I posted that clip a couple years ago on one of the youtube threads here on TC (not like everybody's supposed to be aware of every clip posted).

And I also did a youtube clip of the Astrud Gilberto / Stan Getz performance of Girl From Ipanema from the same movie. Kind of incongruous, but that's part of the fun with these movies!
