(Not) Getting Married Today - Carol Burnett - Company

[Nietes22]

I so love this version of this song!!

[sinatrabooth89]

I love Carol Burnett but she really doesn't give a good performance here...

[jafufu69]

Slower or not it is funny as hell!

[Unintelligentful]

GOD AWFUL. Not at the original speed and pretty embarrassing to watch.

[LeftofWrong]

@Unintelligentful Well, for one, it's a revue. For another, do you know how difficult it is to sing it as fast as the original...?

[TheNewSailorMercury]

1:49 (girl singing) Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh!

[TheRealDarth0]

1:47 are you in there?

[Dancingfool721]

She slowed it down :/ but i love it!....lol

[meirasanya]

@Dancingfool721 I was trying to figure out how this was slowed down as I hadn't seen any other version. So I watched another video and you're right. But, to be honest, I like it slightly slower.

[xxkewldudexx]

@Dancingfool721

Yeah. It's hard as hell to sing at the original tempo (the score is marked "Presto".)

[TheChesxxx]

lmao love johns reaction <3 xx

[rawmamma]

Thanks for taking me down memory lane. Amy has to be on the top 5 favorite roles I ever played as an actor. Thank you Sondheim for your musical theatre genius and giving actors some of the most unique and incredible roles to play!

[LeftofWrong]

I. Love. Carol Burnett.

[margaretcwalters]

what a great talent carol burnett is

[jazzy7991]

Makes me laugh every time I see it!

[rizzo1000]

I recently got the cd of the original "Putting it together" with Julie Andrews. She did all three parts and FAST!  It was amazing, I recommend listening to it once.

[ilikeslideshows]

the guy in the white and blue is the same guy who played Balki on Perfect Strangers

What's his real name?

[umaralansari]

@ilikeslideshows That would be Bronson Pinchot. He sang a lot in Perfect Strangers, and very ably too!

One Broadway number that I remember, in the episode "Digging up the News", is performed by Larry & Balki with wonderful harmony - considering it was a comedy show setting, not a Broadway stage! It can be found on YouTube at lXUHZqZlJZc. ;)

[SandyMakesSense]

"paul" looks like david cameron :D

[J85kyo]

owh~~~~ haha. she is crazy!!!! LOL really really enjoyed this one :)

[chaspagano]

burnett=genius. sondheim=genius.

[allanfisch]

Love this....Not as fast as Beth did it, but Carol brings, well, Carol to it...

[LeonBarmiteous]

Just looking at this makes me think...it's good to have a maid...but I don't think it's good to marry him. No wonder she changed her mind. :/

[Kimahri51992]

I love Carol Burnett oh so much!!! <3

And this version is at a tempo that I can actually practice at w/o getting so tongue-tied. Once I have the words down to the point I don't have to think of them, then I'll try up to tempo... ugh... lol

[Jgaldragon]

i don't know if i like or hate her voice O_o

[brooklynbuglet]

does anyone else see John's amazing shimmy at 1:37!

[2bad4Eponine]

They did Company at my high school (yeah, don't ask. Just don't.) a while back, and only one girl who tried out could even say all the lines without turning it into a jumbled mess or cracking up. Gotta give Carol Burnett props for doing this so well.

[XBeboXLuvaX]

Oh Carol, Carol how you are so wonderful<3<3

[CYAN127]

I think Beth Hollands was waaaayyy better than this one.

[Yidenia]

@CYAN127 I think so too, but I think Howland was under more pressure to get it the way Sondheim did it because she's the "initiator" and has to set the standard. I think if Burnett devoted some time to it she might actually be able to sing a lot faster than this vid, but her voice isn't really the sort of voice that could get away without nuance, whereas Howland had this kind of squeak to her voice that would be effective even if she sang monotonously, which she sort of did for her tempo.

[Iloveorliandwicked]

How does she remember ALL THOSE LINES?!?!

[natstandley]

bloody brilliant makes me laugh every time carol is so funny

[dslewinski]

I love Carol Burnett.. no one is as talented as her!! She is amazing. 

[Lungsandface]

imho, this version is a bit too slow, and therefore a bit too safe.

[babyEroose]

@Lungsandface true, but the comedy is awesome and original.

[cilrogers]

@Lungsandface At least I can understand all the words. Plus, Carol adds a bit to it.

[Simchasoprano86]

Carol Burnett = Comedic Genius!!!

Love her reaction after her first verse: "Goodbye!"

[Rheesoman]

lol how can you not like this? Are you in there?

[viciousv422]

Carol is beyond all words. I love you.

[leporello56]

bit slow...

[Milkpaw]

o.0

that was... fast.

[DarthxErik]

"OH SHUT UP!!!"

[horerfandod3]

i dont like bronson pinchot singing this.

[Terrrrry5]

I have to say I was expecting a "has been" and she KILLED this number. Brava!!!

[paymark]

CAROL BURNETT!!!!! SHE STILL HAS IT!!

[joym143]

its like "rap" on the old tmes, Bravo! Carol B. love you so much...

[fantasylover42]

Think of how much breath training she must have had to do to get all of those phrases in one breath. JEEZ. O.o

[pricefan2007]

Is that Bronson Pinchot singing the part Paul?

[fantasylover42]

@pricefan2007 Yes, it is :)

[skitsokity]

She is Bloody Brilliant!!!

[Gillis1984]

MASTERCLASSSSSSSSS!!! AAAAAAAAAAMAZING!!! speechless!

[sonnet43]

The woman is a comic genius.

[zabmathieu]

Dear Carol!! She's priceless!!! Best performance of this song!

[broadwayloverny10]

I love this version :) I like it fast tho

[Goddessdaughter]

Hahaha this women is absolutely amazing! Talented and hilarous!!!

[cubanose]

LMFAO

[Sparxe]

Absolutely stellar performance by Carol Burnett!

[MainManAndy]

I'm sorry, Carol Burnett is a a bada**. I love this woman.

[jemjean]

I'm glad to see a less "hurried" version. Now I can hear all the words.

[Quartermaine4Ever]

Carol Burnett is hilarious!!!

[AngelAdorable3]

XD this is a lovely example of what marriage does to people. Now all we need is the dress set on fire and her standing on the alter with the bouquet in one hand and a squirrel in the other.

[shunrodgers12345]

Amby, now why does this remind you of me. LOL

[fabulousminge]

Is that John Barrowman?

[theBestArts]

@fabulousminge - yes, it is John Barrowman in the chorus of this song. He appears in many more videos on this channel. You can also do a Google search for "theBestArts John Barrowman" to find a collection of many of his best performance videos.

Unfortunately, the "Putting It Together" video is region 1 only, so doesn't play on standard DVD players in the UK. However, it should play on all PC DVD players worldwide. You can buy it in the UK from Amazon without paying international shipping.

[shrinkpachyderm]

hahahahahahahahahaha omg this is hilarious

[valedictorian2004]

This has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen, OMG I love Carol Burnett!!!!!!

[Ddouds206]

Carol did this song well, you have to be a great singer to do this song.

[dramasings]

3:09 Love John Barrowman's reaction.

[queenfluffernutter]

It always makes me snort!

[dramasings]

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Why aren't there more actors like these in the world I wonder.

[MyAnimatedRomance]

@dramasings I have watched this an embarrassing amount of times and I cannot believe I never noticed that!! XD

[dramasings]

@MyAnimatedRomance I'm not sure the proper response to this...you're welcome? I live to serve or help or what  have you. Lol.

[garylevoxfan4life]

Bronson Pinchot sings this song awesome i liked ever since i saw him as Balki on perfect strangers he is my favorite tv actor

[gary1568]

To watch CB live is a gift.

She doesn't have to open her mouth to make us laugh. Hope she comes out for one more theater experience.

Limited engagement of course!

[dannybex]

gary1568: "To watch CB live is a gift."

Yes, but an overpriced one at that.

[bretp99]

What a treat!

[xMyWorld]

This is one of the best performances Carol ever gave! I am a HUUGGEE fan of Carol and this is pure perfection! I can't even speak that fast, let alone sing!

I also absolutely LOVE Ruthie's singing here, very pretty! I'm usually not a big fan of Ruthie Hanshall, but this was very nice!

Love for Carol Burnett.

[SoftVelvetNights]

john looks like he's about to lose it, and one or two times i saw john looking like he was about to laugh too!

this is BRILLIANT!

[jezt42]

Love both Carol and Madeline's versions: I reckon it works best when the speed is quick but not so quick you miss the fab lyrics.

[lizzyluvscats17]

Awesome!

[JordyElizabeth]

I would totally break character and burst out laughing. She's hilarious!

[LOVEROFANIMALS666666]

How could Ruthie not laugh? :)

Love them all!!

[gekost79]

I don't know if you have seen a better performance than this one from Carol! She is perfect!!!!

[KimLoveJulie]

You´re so right

[WWEQAF]

I actually liked her version, a lot. I dont play favorites though, they are all good, all meaning Heather Laws, and Pamela Myers.

[pinkx07]

Haha i love this :)

I remember singing it on the day of my maths GCSE .. couldnt get it out of my head throughout the whole exam !

haha :)

[SMMikey]

Lets have no more talk of who did it better.

Carol did it Caroliciously.

Madeline did it Kahnificently.

Let's just be grateful that we have a record of these legendary talents performing this brilliant song.  They weren't competing, so why declare a winner?

[WesleyCappiello]

Madeline sings it better... Carol acts it better. Both are phoenomonal!

[tubetoad]

Carol. Just Wonderful. Sondheim, Just Wonderful,,,,Thank you, darling Carol, for letting me kiss you on the cheek.

Blessings to All- I wonder: Who should I marry?

[jav1ram]

I'm a big fan of Heather Laws rendition, but Carol Burnett is just hilarious!

[Wicactor1028]

Madeline Kahn did it better

[spededpat]

Love Carol but Madeline was better

[banabinii]

carol burnett is hilarious! what a fresh idea for a musical

[monielove14]

lol i just luv her!!!

[KimLoveJulie]

The best version Ever!!!!

[tubetoad]

Carol-

BE, Thanks, say a HUG to Steve!

[xcxhxoxcxkxyx]

John's face all the way through is rather hilarious! lol :)

[StephC6134]

Lol John looked as if he was about to have a heart attack at 3:09!

So funny, I love this it's really good!

[Catharine58]

Carol Burnett ROCKS!

[cappygirl8]

I love how John flinches when Carol says "oh shut up!"

[dramagal19]

I just that I laughed so hard. I always laugh when I watch my dvd

[DSativa]

(to the note on speed) i LOVE madeline kahn's version/rendition of this song...it's an absolute favorite!!!

[PhantomCake]

how did Ruthie not crack up??!

[dudewheresmydignity]

because she's amazing.

[danefritz2006]

@PhantomCake cuz shes a BEAST lol

[Etheline]

the *Good Bye* is fabulous...the all is fabulous!

[moonprints]

I love carol burnette in this-- the ONLY thing I wish is that it were possible to have it as fast as the original-- I think that's one of the best aspects of this song! (though carol does make up for it very well)

[theBestArts]

Agreed.

The original (and at least one other) is on this channel. I think I have the 2006 revival on BestArtsMusic.

Try Carol and Ruthie's "Lovely"...

[goblueinga]

I love being able to hear all the words. Thye are hysterical!

[bigmiamiguy]

wow she is so great.. what a great talent.. good luck emily213z you will do great with it.. its a fun song. enjoy

[emily213z]

i'm doing this 4 my school talent show!!!!

[evry1luvsacjgirl]

my drama teacher expects me to learn this saong in 3 days. SERIOUSLY?!?! ill do it, but it'll be hard!

[Lightcaster123]

He-hehe.. He...

HAHAHAHAHHAAHA

most hilarious thing i ever saw

[Lightcaster123]

Probably pretty depressing for Amy though.

[bway1497]

i love this song!

it's perfect for her!

better faster though

[Feiniex]

Love it! - but is that John Barrowman i see in the background?

[AbbeyB77]

Yes it is John Barrowman, he sings "Marry me a little" as the number before this one

[AvengerUchina]

I just love this version! Carol did an amazing job!

[toshikofan]

fantastic

[gimpy10]

Genius!
