Harry Nilsson - Did Somebody Drop His Mouse? (Part 4/5)

[MaxwellChillington]

Dark humor at its finest

[TheHypehat]

Not only was the guy twisted enough to think of it, he actually did it!

[mygirl926]

Even if u wet your bed or think their may be nothing left to do in life, you can still dream... U are still alive. You still have memories of good times. U can still have love in your heart, and anxiousness to see your family/loved ones yet another day. Why would one rather be dead...

[Bogframe]

@mygirl926 Because there comes a time where your quality of life is so bad that you'd rather die with some dignity left intact. Hopefully you're in good health and will be for a long time, but if I ever get to the point where I can't care for myself, someone will be gracious enough to pull my plug.

A bunch of blitzed British senior citizens! Give them sherry and they'll do anything.

This documentary is great!  Thanks for uploading it.

[Bogframe]

This song may sound funny, but when you really pay attention to the lyrics, it's a plea for human dignity. Harry is saying that if he gets to the point where he can't feed, dress, or go to the bathroom by himself, he doesn't want to live anymore, because life wouldn't be worth living without dignity and self-sufficiency. I agree with him.

Me Too,great humour and pathos at the same time.

I'd rather be dead than wet my bed? I almost wet myself watching this. This could almost be a lost episode of Monty Python. The narration is priceless. I don't know what's funnier: Richard Perry's deadpan Brooklynese, or Harry's impersonation of it. Was Harry genius or mad? Probably both. Brilliant!

[KevyNova]

I was listening to Son Of Schmilsson just yesterday, what a great album that is. Thanks for uploading this!

[KevyNova]

I love Harry! I have this whole doc. as well as a bunch of other stuff on 3 dvd-r's that I won on ebay. Classic stuff!

[arfing1]

[Nyahnyah]

Many thanks for share this fabulous treasure.

[LarrySloane]

Marvelous!! A real testament to the powers of Harvey's Bristol Cream...cheers pal!

[docweasel]

something kinda sad, probably almost all of these people are dead now (including Harry!)

[kaptainkidshow]

[zzyzxroadkill]

[schlepworld]

Amazing stuff. Thanks ever so.

[floridamelon]

This is a great clip. This documentary has been sitting on a shelf gathering dust for thirty-plus years. Why why why has it never been released?!?!?!? If you have anymore clips from it PLEASE post them.

[rchb13]

I have loved Son Of Smilsson for thirty years and have always pictured what the I'd Rather Be Dead session must have been like. That I am now seeing it has left me in awe and speechless. Fantastic. Thank you!

[TaxiLou]

fascinating

[surdoGR]

This is absolutely incredible! I didn't know such footage exists! What gives? What's keeping this from being released?!
