Meg: What are you doing out here? I thought you had a date with Luke.

Trivia

add »
Helen Pryor meets her new college classmates at the Vinyl Crocodile. They announce that they have bought some Frank Sinatra records, and that now Helen has to buy some of their music. They immediately hand Helen a small stack of 45's.


Except that among the 45's is a record on the Uni label (it's the one with the red-tan colored sleeve). As a label, Uni did not exist until the mid-to-late 1960's. Seeing this record, out of place with the rest of the 45's in the scene, broke the illusion that the show would portray a scene from 1963, by putting in records and materials that existed in a later time period. (edit)

The Four Tops first visit to American Bandstand:
The footage had to be from about 9 months later when that song was released. The Four Tops were together as a recording group many years before but the song they sang on the episode shown was their first TOP 40 hit. (edit)
