The Monkey's Ant, Tall Paul and the Somoan Puberty Dance All Over Again

I have just discovered, to my sickened dismay, that the Youtube clips I posted earlier of Annette Funicello in Beach Party and Pajama Party have been taken down by some unspeakable party-pooper. I'm not sure it's worth living anymore, but I shall try to limp along, and in protest I shall post this clip of our Annette singing a very enlightened song about inter-species love:
