60s, oldies, rock and roll, merseybeat, british… see all

The Swinging Blue Jeans are a five piece 1960s British merseybeat band, best known for their proto-rave-up hit single “Hippy Hippy Shake”. Intriguingly, while “Hippy Hippy Shake” sounds rather Beatles-clone like, The Beatles did in fact do a cover version of this song.

The beat group had a three year spell of moderate success, flying along with the all-pervading merseybeat success story. Once the novelty started to pale, the hits dried up, and the band eventually retired to the oldies circuit.

Guitarist Terry Sylvester left the group in the late 1960s, and joined The Hollies as a replacement for the departing Graham Nash.

The Swinging Blue Jeans, with some original members, continue to tour to this day.

Tsk, the formula for an acceptable band name, as any fule no, is "The + adjective + noun (preferably plural)". Therefore, The Swinging Blue Jeans is a GREAT band name (and The Flying Burrito Brothers also get a pass).
