South American Getaway - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid soundtrack

[FallingRain123]

Sublime. Nothing else to say.

At 1.24 the music slips into what sounds a totally different piece. I wish there was another bit as this small part sounds so wonderful.

[ThatFlyGuy619]

something about 4:31-5:31 scene where there at the table with this song in the background, always gets me hooked

[rasrealtor]

Selected members of The Ron Hicklin Singers are the actual "scatters" on this memorable piece. (look them up on Wikipedia to confirm). And, thanks for this post.

[amzinger]

My all time favorite movie topped off with a soundtrack from my favorite composer, Burt Bacharach.

[Pockey041985]

GREAT! 

[Gerryofcalifornia]

I think this song was performed by Antia Kerr Singers, not the Swingle Singers, it's in the "Anita Kerr Singers sing Bacharach/David (Dot lable) album.

I didn't think that a genre of music could be worse than Rap... I think we just found it.

[waynemasters]

What the FUCK do you call this RETARDED music? Only in the 60's & 70's...

[captainumbnuts]

@waynemasters

I say Birt could fart more in tune than you can sing....

[Maxwell288]

0 thumbs down....respect!!

[BuridansEsel1]

such a timeless amazing film with best actors, good music and a great story. I could see it again and again - from time to time

[VampireCheese]

Fantastic..thanks x

[blue4u1873]

great music from burt bacharach isnt this a CLASSIC

[RCampbellProductions]

childhood memories of a great great movie, love the solo vocals wow!!!!

[MrFilistine]

Good as they were, Redford and Newman didn't make the script up. Spare a thought for William Goldman.

[buttoux]

Today there was a Youtube 1911 feature and I synced it with this video and it was glorious

[Straussian]

I had always assumed this was sung by the Swingle Singers, but an excellent Swingle Singers web site disabused me of that notion. "Contrary to popular belief, the Burt Bacharach-penned song 'South American Getaway' from the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was not performed by the Swingle Singers, although it was supposed to be."

[webeustoo]

"South American Getaway" was performed by the Ron Hicklin Singers who did a lot of television and other back-up vocals in the '60s

[TheOnlyAfroYeti]

me likey

[BadSneakers]

Does anyone know what scene this is on the DVD? I want to show my 5 yr old son, but on the home theater system. Thanks.

[ChibiXII]

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* Isn't that a pretty sight?.

[StevieB1362]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Never knew what it was called or who made it. Imagine stumbling onto it & finding out it's a Burt B. song. Great!! Thanks for posting this.

[GirlFromIpanema1966]

I so love this video.

[GmantheGmanG]

what's the song

[hookalakah]

The Swingles added so much to this movie. Their Bach-meets-jazz vocals added to the sense that this was a hip, contemporary western.

[OutOnBailNow]

A great soundtrack to a great movie

[sensemaya1]

I suppose it made a change being robbed for a few minutes from doing all those credits and debits! perhaps that's the wrong way round...debits and credits! LOL!

[Pentax25]

listening to this makes nazi zombies on Cod so much more fun :P

[BendikBS]

EPIC MOVIE IS EPIC

[sganeshkumar1989]

Exhilarating

[duxutube]

epic!



[DrBlowfins]

I've played this over and over. What a movie, and what a tune.

[thescreamsmusic]

This is Genius !!!! What a legendary composer !!!

[shickasha]

This movie is one of my all time favorites. Great script and score

[elover8]

i like when the singing slows down a bit, she has a great voice :)

[packjim56]

And to think, Butch came from such a good Mormon family. The Parkers of Southern Utah. I guess this was his version of going on a foreign mission.

[OutOnBailNow]

@packjim56 lol

[arkady313]

Watch 4:32.

Patrick Swayze.

[cobmetal5]

@arkady313 es cierto

[chrisgrizle]

@arkady313

Patrick Swayze & Burt Reynolds

[ivydog2009]

@arkady313

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[compadrepancho]

Just love it !!!!!!

[texsportpub]

Great movie. Even better clip. Thanks for putting it up. These three (Redford, Newman, and Ross) could not have been cast any better. Katharine Ross never looked better than in this movie. The only other movie she even came close was "Hellfighters" (as John Wayne's daughter). Thanks again for posting it.

[wilbermusicman]

I loved this scene! Thanks so much!

[welshcourtland]

Ettas'smile as sundance leaves her to finish up the bank job,exquisite mmmmmm

[5701birchroad]

Wonderful scene on SO many levels. Thanks for posting.

[MALP1231]

Love this! I went to see this movie, on its release. Was fascinated and enthralled with this piece...but then...that's true of everything Bacharach!

[Youngteacher0211]

Hard to pick between Butch and Sundance and The Godfather for my favorite movie, but this Bacharach score is awesome.

[Youngteacher0211]

Butch Cassidy and Burt Bacarach,,,, hard to beat this.

[Branzo29]

Fuk YEA!! I Bump This Shit!!

[weiner7000]

The film was made (1968-69) a few years after the Swingle Singers came on the scene, and the voicing, style, and music here is very much in the mode of the Swingle Singers. If you like this track, I would highly recommend checking out the Swingle Singers, both the '60s incarnation as well as their '90s reemergence (reincarnation?).

[MALP1231]

@weiner7000 The Swingle Singers were exquisite! I loved them.

[playerbnny]

Amazing song, amazing scene, amazing movie. This will live on forever.

[jimraw1]

I forgot the most important fact about the Ron Hicklin Singers - they are the "real" background vocals on The Partridge Family recordings!

[jonieheffner]

..sundance did not kill people, he had ethics.

[IndianSummer2006]

I was born in '74. Sometimes I wish it was earlier than that. Can't we roll back to great days? When actors had something special? Before surgery-enhanced pretty boys/ girls and their computer effects took over from films with substance and style? I'll go even further. Stuff my stupid car! I want a good horse with a nice temperament and a fondness for nosebags! ;o))

[Michaelahol]

@IndianSummer2006 I agree I was born in 76 and I wish I can live in those days too.

[RedNob001]

you are so right ;) x

[HunterMann]

Great film and truly one of the finest vocal pieces ever written!

[joeheadblues]

I hear slight differences between the LP version and this one...without mentioning the breaks and movie sounds, of course.

[rigogurt]

when it picks up again at 2:48 WOW

[craigzilla1]

The singers on the soundtrack of the movie are uncredited. I think it's the samba based music of Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66. He was collaborating with Burt Bacharach in those days.

[jimraw1]

@craigzilla1 The group singing is The Ron Hicklin Singers, a group of studio singers in Los Angeles. They did everything from Batman, Flipper, Laverne and Shirley and That Girl to the theme for Love American Style (where they were misidentified as the Charles Fox Singers.) They were part of the Anita Kerr Singers, as well as performing with Henry Mancini and Percy Faith. Ron Hicklin is the main vocalist on the Happy Days Theme, while Tom and John Bahler can be heard on Good, Bad and the Ugly.

[jonieheffner]

@jimraw1 ..okay...now, I recall the voices in many of the

the TV theme songs.

[KellyGreen5555]

This music interlude is the one thing that dates this great film...I hate it. It sounds like a friggin 1960's cigarette commercial.

[BURniNG6t54]

This song is amazing. I've loved ever since the first time I heard it.

[welshcourtland]

When she smiles in the bank mmmmmmmmm beautiful

[EN1GMA79]

my favorite scene in one of my favorite movies :)

[gmcfosho]

definitely a favorite.

[nobletski]

definitely a burt bacharach composition a great song nobletski

[psmontg]

This song has always stuck with me as well since first seeing the movie in mid 70's. The beat, juxtaposed against the action of the South American bank robberies worked perfectly. I always wondered who authored this piece. Is it Bacharach or Alpert? Thanks for posting this and thanks for You Tube.

psm

[andrewelo]

Sublime!

[squeezethings]

Or is it by Burt Bacharach? Please would someone clear up my discombobulation!

[squeezethings]

Thanks a million for uploading this. It has been a favourite of mine since first seeing the movie when I was knee-high. I scoured the net for it a few years back and struggled to find it due to people tagging it incorrectly - everyone credits Bacharach, but it's actually by Herb Alpert. Can anyone let me know what album this track is on please? Apart from the BC & Sundance movie soundtrack, that is. Cheers.

[jimraw1]

Everything I've ever read suggests Burt Bacharach wrote it for the Butch Cassidy soundtrack - apparently they wanted a upbeat modern sound as a kind of juxtapose with the action. While most people thought it was the Swingle Singers doing the vocals, The Ron Hicklin singers are the group performing. (BTW - Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of Tony the Tiger is the low bass)

[KellyGreen5555]

I didn't know the Tony the Tiger bit...mucho thanks!

[Delon113]

Mchas Gracias, Sensacional

[tman2488]
