  • That ain't no Hank Williams song!

  • omg I forgot just how good they were together.

  • Makes me want to run out and join the Navy...

  • I first heard this on the Steve Dahl show when John made a visit.

  • I could just picture the pogues doing a cover of this

  • We're on a mission from God!

    And God Bless the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine!

    ....The Blues Brothers. John Belushi. 80s Iconic!

  • Belushi would've been an awesome punk singer.

  • Holy crap!lol Johnny Horton and The Blues Brothers sing this amazingly!

  • Sounds like a pirate xD

  • much has been said about this, and I will say less

  • I've gotta tell you boys that that's some of the best Goddamned music we've had in the Country Bunker in a long time....

  • @PrinceOfCicero

    Poor Idiot!!

  • were the goodole boys

  • Great song! Pity it was cut from the movie. Always nice to find something undiscovered by Jake & Elwood.

  • @carnaj1000 I love the Blues Brothers, but I'm glad they cut this from the movie. NOT one of their better songs.

  • @carnaj1000 check out the Johnny Horton original version for a good cut.

  • My first favorite band was the Blues Brothers.

    My first favorite movie was "Sink the Bismark".

    I found this just now in my 20s while I am drunk.

    Life just got better. Much, much better.

  • @MsPandaRosa I do belive all ships are females haha well to a sailor at least

  • john belushi makes it......

  • totally excelent song, I never knew it existed, would love to see the video

  • HOLY COW! No wonder that great battleship died a warrior's death, he had been targeted by the very Blue Brothers Themselves, on a Mission From God. And when Bismarck heard their golden throats, he knew it was but a matter of time...

    FWIW, the Bis is a male ship.

  • @MsPandaRosa All ships are considered female, regardless if they're named after a male, like Bismarck and Hood both were.

  • @ForceSmart

    Bismarck's own Kapitan declared the ship as male, so I stand by that.

    Also, the Latinate countries, France, Italy, Spain, consider ships as masculine, so it makes some sense.

  • @MsPandaRosa Perhaps in other languages, but it still seems likely that sailors would affectionately refer to their ships as female, unorthodox as it may be. However, since we're all speaking English in this context, I assumed an assumption regarding the English-speaking would would have been understood. When writing in English, it's incorrect to refer to ships as males. The only exception to female ship pronouns is in objective academic or scholarly writing, when ships are neuter.

  • @ForceSmart

    from wikipedia:

    Ships and countries

    Traditionally ships, even ships named after men such as USS Barry, countries, and oceans have been referred to using the feminine pronouns. The origins of this practice are not certain, and it is currently in decline (though still more common for ships, particularly in nautical usage, than for countries). In modern English, calling objects "she" is an optional figure of speech, and is advised against by The Chicago Manual of Style.

  • @aledujke chicago manual of style? what the fuck? if you need a manual you're not stylin, bro

  • @aledujke "In modern English, calling objects "she" is an optional figure of speech, and is advised against by The Chicago Manual of Style."

    Because the twits writing that manual have succumbed to the idiot PC/Fem-Nazis. Ships and countries (and cars) are "she" when you refer to them. I suppose they want you to refer to everyone in the theater as an "actor" too. That seems to be in vogue, but it makes it a little difficult to have a "best actress" award, doesn't it?

  • Let me clarify that for those of us ENGLISH-speakers, they are "she". The Germans and Latinate countries sometimes differ (i.e. the "Fatherland", etc.) in which gender pronoun they use. As noted by MsPandaRosa.

    @ForceSmart - Academic or scholarly writings can and do refer to ships as "she"--if the work isn't written by a PC/Fem-Nazi or someone caving to them.

  • @MsPandaRosa The Germans have lost two world wars in a row--who gives a fuck about what they think?

    Ditto for the "Latinate" countries--they're hardly what I'd call "military powerhouses", so...

    :-D

  • @PrinceOfCicero

    Mebbe, but they gave it everything they have, going down with all guns blazing. Not a bad image for Bismarck himself.

    And let's remember, Nazis make such GREAT villains, mwha-ha-ha-ha!

  • greatest police chase i say in all of movies also the greatest movie ever the blues bros and also merry chirstmas to all

  • Um ein deutsches Schlachtschiff zu versenken, brauchen die Engländer, Ihre halbe Flotte. Um Deutschland zu besiegen, muß die halbe barbarische Welt sich zusammentun.

  • I thought I was gonna be rick-rolled......this is just awesome!

  • I live in illinois and have a causin who suports the nazi ideal's and i will do nothing but say this as a relative of an actual Illinois nazi i suport illinois nazi bashing carry on gentle men

  • To hell with the Illinois Nazis

  • Bismarck and the whole Wehrmacht is legendary.Tommys and Amis.....not such much ;)

    RPHAMEBERLIN 2 weeks ago

    Well Jerry, you old Kraut Nazi apoligist: it's too late: they're honestly not legendary but rather infamous. So please get off your high horse before you get run down by the superior production of a toalized Allied war economy which the Axis never managed to do.

    The real legend was in the hands of the Old Britain plus her Commonwealth, Old Glory U.S.A. and the mighty Soviet Union. *☭

  • Indeed the HMS Hood was a mighty ship!

  • yes...you've all just had a History lesson

  • @viksox13 It's a good interpritive song perhaps but it is deffinatly not an accurate history lesson.

    May of 1941 the war had just begun? More like September of 1939.

    Or was the Bismarck was the biggest ship that ever sailed sea (at that point)? No sorry the Tirpitz displaced more water , & the Imperial Japanese Yamato was the biggest!

    However I digress the song is a good knee slapping tune. Enjoy everyone. Peace.

  • @Squeaks90 I think what they were trying to point out in "may of 1941" is that it was really close to 1939 than to 1945 when it ended, but im not trying to argue or anything, this is a really great song

  • @Squeaks90 The US Navy had nine battleships at the time that had bigger guns. It's all artistic license.

  • Comment removed

  • This is one version I found that was really funny as hell :-)

    watch?v=Da6rYqI8z_4&feature=re­lated

  • This is the first time I ever heard this song being performed by the blues brothers

  • Elwood J. Blues. he's on a mission from God.

  • What happened to "The Wreck of the Old 97" they were going to do?

  • I never knew the Blues Brothers sang this song! Great version!

  • I miss John...

  • Not rare any more.

  • 43 Illinois nazi... I hate Illinois nazi.

  • @Xavras7 Well I hate fags like you trying to get thumbs up....

  • @Matthijs3476 Oh what a shame. Well but don`t worry 7,5 cm is not that bad and maybe some day you will find a girl who trully don`t care about a size. Not some day soon maybe but eventually....

  • @Xavras7 Right.... You're pretty fucking retarded.

  • @Matthijs3476 Oh I`m sorry are these the words yourd daddy said, when he saw you for the first time?

  • @Xavras7 Nice English idiot.

    They are actually the words I said to you. Hard to understand for a retard like you, ay?

  • @Matthijs3476 Please point me a mistake in my english, mate. And notice that you just wrote "they are words". Who are words?

    And you call me a retard? Man you are so dumb. But at least you make me laugh.

  • @Xavras7 Obviously you've never learned proper English.

    Right, your mistakes:

    First: It's ''I'm'' not ''I`m''

    Second: misplaced comma

    Third: your, not yourd

    Fourth: Using the word these without quoting the actual words you are reffering to.

    Also your first reply to my comment is filled with mistakes.

    ''They are the words'' is correct and commonly used.

    So yeah, you're a fucking retard.

    I like the fact that I make you laugh by being right.

  • @Matthijs3476 Man, these "mistakes" as you call them - it`s not even stupid it`s just pathetic.

    "They are the words" may have been commonly used in a bible times, it`s just you who are too dumb to understand that you used it incorrectly

    And what I realised is that you`re just some .teen-year-old-with-small-dick­-and-no-friends-virgin, and that further talking to you would be just disgraceful for mr Belushi and this great song.

  • @Xavras7 Nope, it's actually used a lot these days.

    It's weird how you start talking about mistakes, but you can't even make one sentence without one.

    And I love how you are trying so hard to offend me, but failing at it even harder.

    I think about 90% of the people that call other people virgins, are one themselves.

    Same goes for small penis, no friends, and age.

    But since these things you say are based on absolutely nothing, there's no need to defend myself.

    Have fun being retarded!

  • @Xavras7 Haha, that's my dad's favorite line!

  • @Xavras7 43 is swa/combat18 u.s.a. Good Club but its infested with l.e.o. infiltators/survaliance and often attracts retards unintentionaly. I probated then went lone wolf to avoid all that shitt, still send $10 a month for dues anonnamosly lol.

  • Blues Brothers rock. R.I.P John Belushi.

  • Bismarck and the whole Wehrmacht is legendary.Tommys and Amis.....not such much ;)

  • The Bismarck took down the Hood which was one of the most powerful British warship at the time and it took weeks for the British to sink it even after navigation was crippled by a British torpedo and being badly placed by Hitler. That says something about the quality of workmanship and Sailors put into the Bismark. Even if they did lose the war they were not slackers.

  • 24 May 1941the HMS HOOD was sunk in the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Then on 27 May 1941Bismarck was sunk by the HMS Dorsetshire after being pummel by HMS King George V 14-inch and HMS Rodney 16-inch guns. YES HMS Rodney mounted 16-inch heavy guns. It took days to sink the Bismarcks after battle with the HMS Hood not weeks.

  • @MrLRL68 Ok Fair enough my sense of historical time is not the best thank you for the correction. I will try to remember that in the future.

  • The Bismarck was crippled by a single torpedo dropped from form a Swordfish launched off the HMS Ark Royal. Swordfish was an open cockpit biplane to boot.

  • @MrLRL68 One hell of a lucky shot , ya see you never know.

  • was the best battleship, which ever esxist... and my honor to the soldiers which died at the Bismarck!

  • @Bobbycar77 ...To avoid a flame war, I'll just correct the fact that it was SAILORS who died on the Bismarck.

  • The BEST battleship is the one the survives...

  • I ate The Bismarck!

  • my uncle always sings this songs

  • I guess that was the WTC bombings /Pentagon done in reaction (they say) to the greed of USA - banking and that was the British Hood and then they say they planned it 1960s while WTC was being built (66-69). IT's due to the bking I would think for the shootngs done in the 1960's...

  • Nice song. I was just leaving when something made me stay & watch the tv show on the sinking of the Bismark this night...3:15 am EST/New York.

  • This is cool, and it'd be something to see in the movie, but it's not a song I can really see the Brothers sing. It doesnt seem to fit with their style.

  • the one form johnny horton is better, the voices are better

  • Respect to the Bismarck and her crew.

  • @tyler2home NO !... its stupid to fight with a schip without navigation... and the Bismarck lost the navigation by a Torpedo hit .... many days before she sink.

  • The Blues Brothers did okay, I suppose, but I think I prefer the Johnny Horton version myself. But this version is not a bad version to be honest.

  • fuck facism! sink the bismarc, everyone! gerrtz from germany :)

  • Very nice song.. great things from Germany !

  • LOL SEAMEN SOUNDS LIKE CEMEN lol( that wasnt spelled right) go NAVY!

  • I never knew they did this. A shame we couldn't see the deleted video scene as well. Thanks for posting it!

  • Never knew they did this one.

  • my aunt had a dachshound named Bismarck and we had one his brothers, and his name was Blitz.

  • Holy crap.

  • I used to love my parents version of this song, and I guess I still do, but this touches my heart.

  • Never thought Johnny Horton could be outdone.

  • @TheWizzooo Thats because he hasnt been

  • 38 are nazis

    

  • Thank you for posting this. The Blues Brothers were (and are) a big deal to me. First time I have heard this, just this morning. Day made. Thanks again.

  • I know that johnny horton was the original singer and songwriter of the song, but why did they choose to sing this song? Dont get me wrong, Sink the Bismark is one of my favorites, in fact it was the first song i ever loved, the original version that is.

  • johnny horton sings it way better...

  • No wonder they cut this one out of the movie. It simply just doesn't fit.

    But hilarious still.

  • I love this song. It was part of my youth. I believe Beluschi and Ackroyd are about my age. I assume this was a song they enjoyed in thier youth as well

  • and again and again and again ^^love this song^^

  • I am an Illinois Nazi and chicks dig our SEXEH uniforms!

  • @Lamashtar Really u cant even spell and i have asberges and even i can spell better than that.

  • is this song a blues song? i cant tell, lots of stuff sounds like rock and roll to me

  • @10995,

    This song was originally written and performed by country music singer Johnny Horton, he of hits like "The Battle of New Orleans" and "North to Alaska."

  • @10995 No, but it was supposedly from when they played at Bob's Country Bunker. I read in the "Blues Brothers: Private" book that this was one of the songs they performed there, but of course it wasn't in the movie.

  • Comment removed

  • which part is John Belushi singing? ive never heard one their songs before.

  • @10995 John is singing this right with Dan, but he sings that first part before "Out of the cold..." (where Dan takes over). The rest of the song, it switches back and forth on who is singing.

  • @Kriankay Thanks

  • It shouldn't matter whether or not you are from Germany :P. History takes precedent over nationalism!

  • Cheery song about sinking ship ? :D

  • @MarkoMadCat Because the ship was a very hunted ship, if they had not sunk her, she could have terrorized the Atlantic ocean's convoys bringing supplies to Great Britain.

  • Very cool! I love the Blues Brothers and hadn't heard this one!

    

  • Hood-Bismarck 0:1

  • I like this. first time i heard the blues brothers was in 1988.

  • Bismarck was a very powerfull battleship,sank the HMS HOOD,the powerfull brithish battleship

  • @xxxXEnFoRcErXxxx hmmn, not compared to the Bismarck

  • i'm from Germany too, an i think that 36 Guys are Illinois Nazis ;-)

  • @Chriskeks I wouldn't doubt it

  • @Chriskeks I hate Illinois Nazi's

  • @Chriskeks Wie Recht du hast :D

  • @Chriskeks Maybe they just think Johnny Horton sang it better.

  • The Bismarks Captain: Admiral Lindemann wasn't a Nazi. He hated it to shot at British ships. But what he had done to the battleship Hood wasnt soldierlike and honourable at all but the british seaman werent angels or heros. They killed also.

    Facit: to hell with this FUCKING war.

  • fuck war and all that stupid shit...long live the Blues Brothers.

  • Wow! Where did you find this rare piece from?

  • FUCK YOU TO FUCKING HIGH HELL FUCK YOU AMERICA RULES GERMANY (not to anyone that hates the nazis or did nothing wrong)

  • LOL! THIS IS SOO FUCKY FUNNY YEAH FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING NAZIS!

  • yeey. i like

  • Bizmark isn't the german word for battleship it was the name of a general in ww1, it also had a sister ship the Tirpitz.

  • @acapel3 I know it was an error, but "Bizmarck" as the word for battleship would be badass.

  • @acapel3

    Bismarck was chancellor of the Deutsches Reich near the end of the 19th century, not a general.

  • stop talking shit about Nazis it´s just crap the war is over since 70 years

    (sry For my bad english^^)

  • @WaffenFan92 i agree to some small extent. while i don't believe much of what i here about them, i do some historical facts. I believe people talking about this events is a way of keeping a piece of history alive. Also, bad english excused XD

  • i hacked into da police radio and hade this playin... haha all da cops was on break eatin donutes and drinkin coffie

  • btw bizmark was sunk by alies in europ ( and huge point got ours "Burza") (poland)

  • An old Johnny Horton tune, good job BB

  • This is AWSUME!!!!

  • Blues Brothers 4 ever!!

  • Bismarck´s??? They have also other names:

    Apartheid, Ku Klux Klan, government - the list is long - but is getting shorter!

    Not to forget the war dead of all sides!!!!!!!!!

    Even the Germans did not want there....

  • Don't forget the other "Bismarck's".

  • @CanadaJarod yes. but this was because germany didnt want to risk the bismarck. also nukes were only used once in world war 2, on nagasaki and hiroshima, doesnt mean they were overrated

  • I truly love this song :D 4 or 3 years ago when I was 14 or 15 I was in Pennsylvania to visit my grandmother my dad would play this song and he's 65 right now but whatever :D i love oldies

  • Love the Blues Brothers!

  • John Belushi: Secretly a pirate!

  • "Find the german battleship thats making such a fuss"\

    Well it sure did make a fuss out of Hood! hahah

  • @RussianSoldat100 thats not funny you sick swine .... 3 ppl servived from it ..... have some respect for the lost sailors

  • @genesis83 They were on the wrong side....

  • @RussianSoldat100 do your history they where on the right side fighting for the free world from opression and tyrany you mong ... the ship was supposed to be in for a refit to get better guns and armour but was called in to service as it was the only ship close enough to intercept it you donk. by the sounds of it you wanted the nazi twats to win the war.

  • This song makes me happy every time I listen to it

  • i love this song so much ima marry it

  • the bismark's only kill was the Hood... battleships were so overrated

  • @CanadaJarod wow, seriously?

  • @CanadaJarod but still if the bismarck wasnt damaged and sunk we wouldve lost WWII

  • Comment removed

  • @TheGodzillarules I agree there. just look at the Tripitz. and since the bismarcks were the prototype to larger ships to come like the H39 and H44 .

  • @CanadaJarod over 1100 people died on the hood.and the hood was britains old faithful.so it was a mental blow and physical blow.The Brits wasted larges amounts of man power trying to sink that ship. The Bismarck did alot more damage than she recieved even though over 2000 of her crew died. If only the Kriegsmarine waited for the Tirpitz to be fully combat ready......

  • cool song

  • Even the British knew it was an awesome ship. very impressive good looking and powerful. Still such a shame the mighty hood was seconds away from maneuvering itself into a suitable position to defend itself better. don't think it would have dealt with the Bismarck as it was truly only a cruiser with heavy weapons to defend itself. but such a great looking ship from photos and peoples chatter.

  • Interesting song, I LIKE IT

  • this song makes me sad because the hood was sunk

  • oh my god this is catchy

  • The Bismarck was a great Ship :D, and hey im German and not a Nazi :P

  • THIS SONG MAKES ME SAD COZ THE BIZMARK WAS A GREAT SHIP

  • the hood was desined by me great grandad this does me good to hear this song

  • 30 people had their Bismarck cut down

  • Im from Germany, but i love these song!

  • @TroTLF

    Of course ya do, because ya got the Hood;)

  • @TroTLF why not :) War is for dicks anyway

  • @TroTLF fuck nazis

  • @timpa666

    Very true my friend.

  • U GUYS SUCK!!

  • i think i just got extra credit in my German class

  • yamato is bigger then  bismarck by 22000 tonas

  • @damircro1975 At that point it was the biggest warship in commission, the yamato was commissioned later on

  • @TheMiniuzi23 in length the hood was longer than Bismarck and yamato.
