I sure had fun with this song in 1959! I was graduating from high school in Minneapolis, Minn., when I purchased my first car. It was a mint green 1950 Ford 2-door V8 sedan and cost $125. The previous owner wintered in St. Petersburg and the car had Florida plates with the name Tallahassee on them. When my girl friends and I went cruising on weekends, we told boys we met that we were from Florida, and of course Tallahassee. Coincidently, one of the most popular songs that summer was “Tallahassee Lassie”. We sure did have fun with that car for a while…until I had to buy Minnesota plates!

I was born in the Bronx, raised in Miami, and went to school in Tallahassee, Florida State University. I was always kinda amused of how I’m from the north and ended up in a small southern town called Tallahassee. I loved it there. The campus was beautiful, the people were very welcoming, the town had just enough of everything for a big city gal. It was picture perfect through the different seasons. I loved being a Tallahassee Lassie if just for 4 years! Go Seminoles!!

I don't think so. I think you're watching part of the act. He knows where the camera is and looks into it several times. I think he acts "exasperated" with the kids for clapping out of rhythm, which I think they are doing intentionally(watch them laughing). At 1:33, I think he's looking at Dick Clark and pointing with his thumb back at the audiance with an expression of like "what's wrong with these kids?". Then he turns back to the camera laughing.

This song was several years old by the time of this clip. Freddy Cannon probably appeared to plug a then-new song he had recorded, but included this one as well, since often during the years, performers appearing on "American Bandstand" would do two songs, their current release and one of their past hits.
