Hey, someone sent me here after I told them my favorite coffee blend was sold out at the store.

I really need that coffee, otherwise I can't get up in the morning! D-:>

[bmg1275]

Marilyn Manson could do a version

[combaticus666]

this could be made into a metal song.

depressing things are metal

just add guitars and its a done deal

[djdennyisback]

[HolyCowNYC]

I got here because I watched a Van Dyke Parks video. Oh, yeah, I do remember this melody.

[NothingForgotten]

There is a beautiful version by John McLaughlin (CD: My Goal's Beyond). He has nicely reharmonized it to be a duet for acoustic guitars. You'll find it here on YouTube.

[MrJrpjazz]

@NothingForgotten His version on MY GOALS BEYOND is very beautiful and haunting. That CD is beautiful overall.

[YourMateJosh]

[SNESRadio]

I've been looking for this song for ages, funny thing is I found out it's name by typing in "sad song that played in looney toons" lol. Mystery solved, thank god for the internet.

[stevencroce]

Wanting to know the name and composer of this this song has PLAGUED me for a LONG TIME! THANK YOU!

[AtheistCanuck]

so this is the world's saddest song that people play on the world's tiniest violin.

[DaveBTHunt]

"You are mistaken! I have here the very Deeds! All rights and Titles to this house passed to ME when Aunt Agatha died unmarried - and I have sold the entire property and land to the Railroad! Therefore I must insist you take your wretched family and leave this place immediately...and NEVER return, do you hear?! NEVER! Get out, I say!......GET OUUUT!!!!......."

[1408alan]

@DaveBTHunt . Oh God!!!!!!!! How can you be so cruelllllllll. Wilbur is out of work, I am 8 months pregnant, I have 12 other bairns to feed, and none of us has eaten since Sunday. You dastardly villain. You'll pay for this, mark my words. Hissssssssssssssssssssssss.

[user98xp]

[nasmoe]

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

i can't get over this, I love it. danke! btw has anyone seen the Titanic Death of a dream doc on utube? does anyone know what tango style song is playing during Col. Arch Gracie's dialogue? plz help.

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

"Hearts and Flowers" is a song composed by Theodore Moses Tobani (with words by Mary D. Brine) and published in 1899, though its melody originally appears in a collection called "Wintermärchen" written by the Hungarian composer Alphons Czibulka in 1891

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

"Winter March" you can obviously determine that it is a march by the tempo. Danke!

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

@JRussoBuffaloNY published in 1893,sorry for the misinformation.

[albear972]

Thank you so much! favorite and 5 stars! I have wondered all my freaking life what this song was called. I remember it from old Looney Tunes cartoons too. I started looking for it but had no clue until I found your video.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

[JSBACHingmad]

They don't make them like this anymore. Thank God. It smells of long-unwatered aspidistras and old knickers. I love it.

[SteveCarras]

LOL...yeah, this WAS used in many cartoons...

[SonicTheHedgedawg]

So this is the song that the world's smallest violin is supposed to be playing

[JSBACHingmad]

Please explain.

[SonicTheHedgedawg]

There's an expression that says "playing hearts and flowers on the world's smallest violin" or "the world's smallest violin plays a sad song"

It's used to express mock sympathy when someone is being mellodromatic.

[JMFabianoRPL]

It was....soap....POISONING!

[horizonlb]

did u get that line from A Christmas Story?

[antiregayton1]

@JMFabianoRPL ??

[gregbarrett9]

That sounds very good for its age.

[InuitInua]

Wow! I never knew the name of this "sad music" and do thank you ever so much for uploading this and giving that great description!
