Telephone Hour - Bye Bye Birdie (1995)

[Lunarous]

Ursula.. I'm Penelope ann and I do not approve of her taking my lines!! XD

[MrsPeetaMellark101]

my school is doing this show for a play. our opening night is tomorrow, i'm SO pumped :D

[THENATURALEXPERT]

I'm in this play this year

[OurGangFan]

5 people are going steady with Justin Beaver

[JessieSweetey]

One day i'm gonna prank call someone and sing this entire thing.

[Andrewbeastify]

Lol,we r doing this as our school musical this year,this song is awesome:D

[MissAlexa423]

This version is absolutely horrific.

[AloofAri6]

when i find a town with telephone booths i'm so doing this w/ a bunch of friends

[CabinetSquirrel]

@Graceisgrowing MRS PHI BETA KAPPA PETERSON

[poppinitcrew]

omg im doing this song for school dance team excited we have to lip sync

[CabinetSquirrel]

@phyzzique DID YOU HEAR ABOUT HUGO AND KIM!??!

[Graceisgrowing]

@CabinetSquirrel DID SHE REALLY GET PINNED?

[luvdizney]

Is it wrong Harvey's cuter than Hugo??

[bmbellan]

There's the option to use 'Ursula' or 'Penelope Ann' for that part. It's subtly mentioned in the script that Ursula and Harvey are together, so it depends on the director's vision and Ursula's singing ability, as a soloist. The other option being "He's too thin, She's too tall," Instead of "She's too cool, he's too square."

[IntoTheDarkMist]

I feel so sad for the boys. I have a younger cousin who's just like them, and I'm this close to strangling her. 1:55 lol, Harvey, be glad, you're better looking than the 1963 Harvey.

[coollstoryybroo]

I'm playing Helen in our play at school... So excited <3

[CabinetSquirrel]

This song is such a piece of shit

[phyzzique]

@CabinetSquirrel Then why listen to it?

[nikolaasyu]

Harvey says I weird

[Elleyphant]

60's version is so amazing.

[ilovecollege910]

Actually, it's "Can I speak to Penelope Ann?" not Ursula...

[musicman76enator]

This version is garbage compared to the wonderful 1963 version

[musicman76enator]

If you freeze this at 2:31, its hilarious!! Look how the guy is able to flip on top of the booth! SLOW MO!

[phyzzique]

@musicman76enator I'd say the kid's athletic, pretty cool move actually.

[cubbear88]

this version sucked!!

[PaniaAthea]

i think this version is a bit slow :(

[mindygogogo]

@PaniaAthea Nope, it must be your computer.

[kitkat96ster]

....why did they get so excited? They're like doing jumping jacks, even the guys. Lol.

[Posionlily96]

@kitkat96ster This is what happens to people with NOTHING to do!

[1234321blah]

@Posionlily96 If this is what happens to people with nothing to do.... I never want to do anything again... That way my life can be a musical

[KarrotKola232]

my guilty pleasure :)

[inem99]

if you watch the first movie there are no black people now look at the diference :)

[phyzzique]

@inem99 It's called revisionism, to make us think there were black people in suburban white neighborhoods.

[AugustSpies55]

I would think Justin Bieber to be Harvey.

[HoldenCarrell]

Harvey johnson sucks in this

[HoldenCarrell]

Haven johnson sucks in this

[TheNelenaxoxo]

luv this song! am playing margie in a production of this at the rose theatre! sooo excited!

[av01bps]

I love harvey!

[littlestarlettegirl]

Am I the only one who thinks Harvey's adorable?

[LordxGigglekle]

Lol, this gets stuck in my head.

[RoseOSharon]

I was thinking, in regards to Justin as Birdie, I don't think it would work. He just looks too young. Selena Gomez as Kim, yes, but here's a thought, Nick Jonas as Birdie . . .

[smichelle65]

@RoseOSharon agreed--Birdie is supposed to be somewhat jaded and more "experienced". Justin Bieber could play Hugo.

[XXDarkShadow79XX]

The old Kim is hotter.  Just sayin...

[cheersingluv95]

Once again, the 1963 version is WAY better...

[BrittMathisMusic]

@cheersingluv95 Well the Broadway play was based on the 1963 version, I believe. But either way, this version is closer to the play, and the singing is better. Each of them has its own shortcomings.

[timrprobocom]

@BrittMathisMusic, it's more complicated than that. The Broadway version came first. It was already a huge (and somewhat surprising) success by the time the 1963 movie was made. The movie made a number of changes. This 1995 TV special made more change, but restored other things to the original. The version you get in high schools today is an amalgamation of all three sources.

[Magic9053]

@cheersingluv95 AMEN

[MsRoflWafflez]

meh harvy os ok looking lol

[WickedlyBlondeFilms]

They dont look like teenqagers lmao.

[ohestevold]

Harvey Johsnon is the man!

[pika23]

they need a modern version starring Justin Bieber as Birdie, and Selena Gomez as Kim

[RollOnToVictory]

@pika23 would it be contemporary or still set in the 50s?

[pika23]

@RollOnToVictory like Justin would be something crazy like the first rock star in space...and before lift off, the girl would get to kiss him. somthing corny like that. Or maybe he can VOLUNTEER for like the marines or army. since drafting is not done any longer.

[Viralism]

@pika23 Bieber would suck as Birdie, he might be a good harvey seeing as he hasn't gone through puberty

[NicoleMarieButterfly]

It looks too much like 90s trying to be 50s. But that's okay, because I love both decades.

[RollOnToVictory]

now a days, this entire process could have been done in a tweet and a facebook status change

[lexchristina99]

@RollOnToVictory I know!We're so boring...

[LiveLaughLove8489]

@RollOnToVictory now that would have been one hell of a musical number lol!!

[GTOGal389]

@RollOnToVictory LMAO!!!!!!

[leconcurrent1]

Fucking Family Guy made me find all Bye Bye Birdie songs again. I'm a straight 19 year old guy. Is there something wrong with that?

[tootfan]

@leconcurrent1 What does it matter youre a guy?...

[Freakeh411]

Aww. I love how Harvey sounds when he says "Is Terry home from school yet?"

[uduntknome1]

i luv dis!

[MigantiStar2000]

@uduntknome1 I like it too. But if i saw this if i was 50, i might of said "eh, you kids slow down with the beer, k?

[chloeebraden]

wait... On the guy's shirt at 1:56, it says Applewood lanes. I thought they live in Sweet Apple!

[zac613]

@chloeebraden i thought that too until i noticed the bowling patch on the shirt. it's the name of the bowling group he's in lol

[iluvcheezitsheyhey]

Hahahaha YES. I haven't seen this in FOREVER. I know the guy in the pink shirt jumping on top of the telephone booth!

[annisawesome1]

Harvey needs a break, is Ursula home frome school yet?

[athenalover5903]
