The Flying Nun Season 2 Episode 1

Psychedelic episode featuring The Sundowners. Sister Bertrille hears that Sonny and the Sundowners will be performing at Casino Carlos A-Go-Go. She knew Sonny and wants to say hello. When they meet, Sonny offers to help the convent and asks Sister Bertrille to write a song, they’ll record, and she’ll get the royalties.

She writes a very sixties image-laden song that the Sundowners turn into an all out acid-fuzz-psychedelic-trip! All the nuns go to the go-go club to hear the song’s debut and flip out when presented with a trippy strobe light show, caged go-go dancers and background vocal lines like “”grow your own,”” and “”magic mushrooms!”” Must see rock n roll TV! Paul Peterson, The Sundowners.
