I believe the Stray Cats performed live on the program as well. googuse 01:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I wrote the theme?
Liner notes to a Manilow album cred him with writing "Bandstand Boogie", the show's theme. Trekphiler 03:30, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 33 vs. 4?
Since the previous host, Bob Horn, only had the show for four years and Dick Clark for thirty-three, I would say his name has become much more recognizably and permanently attached to the phenomenon. Should we associate his name in the intro to the article?
I suggest: "American Bandstand was a long-running dance music television show that aired in various versions from 1952 to 1989, and hosted for the bulk of its life by American broadcast personality Dick Clark. It is known not only for the emerging performers that it promoted (from Jerry Lee Lewis to Run DMC) but the many dance styles it featured through the decades."

[edit] Syd Barrett
Syd refused to sing on the Pat Boone Show the night before... He makes an effort on bandstand and even responds to Clark's questions in the interview (as oppose to the ill-fated Boone interview the night before)... The person who wrote that trivia confused the two shows... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.175.100.89 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Bob Horn
There was a section on Bob Horn at the bottom of the page - however, it had all the same info as a pre-existing Bob Horn page so I just removed it. - AKeen 16:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
