from Urban Dictionary :
"
The year is 1965 and an almost unknown rock band from Ohio called The McCoys recorded a song called "Hang On Sloopy."

"Hang On Sloopy" was inspired by a woman named Dorothy Sloop who was a native of Steubenville, Ohio. Apparently she had a career as a singer in the 1950's and used the name "Sloopy" as a stage name. Dorothy Sloop passed away in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Her song will long live on in the hearts of people for years to come....

hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on...

(the other definitions are par-for-course)

Moving this video to CaptainObvious's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Another Great Song of The 60s, my High School Years here in AUSTRALIA. SIMPLICITY of "beat" and able to sing along and simple jive at the the disco clubs so prevalent here in the 60s.
WOW ! The girl in the video, Gorgeous, and those simple gyrations just blow me away. Amazing that the " short shorts" are the "In item " for the girls in Summer. My kids now their 20s - 30s LOVE the 60s Music. Whoever the girl is: Liz Derringer , take a bow

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by lucky760.

Ah... so the band and Sloop herself were from Ohio. I've often wondered why OSU used the song so much that I more or less considered it the official theme song of the band. TIL.

Did some research and @CaptainObvious is right, Sloopy is Liz Derringer, guitarist Rick Derringer's first wife. Here are photos of her I think from the 1970s, which I'm embedding for posterity (and SEO):

So..., Is this a

It's so close, it smells like a dupe.

There is something about her, but I can't put my finger on it

Thank You
Thank You
Love this video
I feel younger watching it
AWESOME

There is new evidence to prove the identity of the Sloopy Girl Dancer. It is NOT Liz Agriss Derringer (Rick's ex-wife) nor is it Liz Brewer, the lady from Britain. It also is not Lisa Dalton that is a showgirl dancer who you can google.
It is however, Lisa Leonard Dalton, and sometime soon, Aug 2021, the video evidence and her story will be released. You can go to YouTube sites that show the video and as soon as it is completed, it will be linked there.

Please be sure to check out the video that will be released sometime this month, Aug 2021 that will show you the identity of Sloopy dancer. BTW, Liz was only 5'2", the lady in the video is 5'7". You should not only be satisfied but happy to see the really Sloopy dancers story.

Well, Sorry but Captain Obvious is wrong. No doubt that Liz Agriss Derringer was Ricks first wife, if you look at the pictures you posted and at the girl you will see there is no resemblance. However, if you watch the proof on the new video about Lisa Leonard Dalton, you will find the she is indeed the real Sloopy Girl Dancer. [url redacted]

If you still want to believe it is Liz, well, that certainly is your right but already thousands have seen it in a week and agreed. It is Lisa.
