Jingle Jangle Jingle Dick Thomas 1942

[AlmoneRG]

I actually searched this song because i watched "30 ways to kill a hooker"...

[ilkeryoldas]

ain't you glad you're single?

[RockDave88]

Love this! The video hasnt aged at all and looks pretty good. Andy Kaufman certainly brought me here as to how catchy this song is!

Thanks for uploading it :)

[GuLLoR]

i would did them xD

[Maestrojosh87]

Thumbs up if Andy Kaufman brought you here!

[LPLTLPLT]

[Ramachadras]

Where is Elanour Cody Gould?



[mufilmfest]

@Ramachadras Interesting question. Eleanor Cody Gould appears in the 1948 two reel short Jingle Jangle Jingle. The same title, but a completely different film than this Soundie made c1942. A two reel short generally runs twenty minutes. I do have a print of that film in my archive mainly because it features the pianist Page Cavanaugh. I haven't watched it for years. I'd guess Ms. Gould has a small speaking roll. If I get it out to screen it I'll report further.

[mufilmfest]

@rjt80b Thanks for asking. I have discussed this with many people including the heads of the Library of Congress, the UCLA Film Archive and others. The head of the NW Film Archive in Manchester, England summed it up best. He said "No archive is willing to commit itself to digital archiving due to the high hard drive failure rate." In the past UCLA and others transferred films to video. Now they again need to transfer them to digital. The films will be saved to transfer again later.

[pavelradev1990]

I wish things would go back to the way they were in thr 1950s! Thoese were the days 

[AeroAtlas]

@pavelradev1990 Wait till 2077 :) Oh wait...

[Darkuta78]

this is my favorite song classic

[Fullmetal1087]

Good old music hits me right in the heart makes me want to cry

[Flueeeee]

and on the other side of the world, nazis were raping europe.. Lovely times.

[LibertatemPopuli]

Not Fallout New Vegas.

[TangerineTaster]

This film is great. The song was put together really well for this film and Dick Thomas had a great singing voice. Best version by far. But seriously the girl in the chair looks like she's on codeine.

[maddmaxx636]

wow surprised this survived so well

[mufilmfest]

@maddmaxx636 I'd be surprised if current digital processes or CDs survive as long as old fashioned motion picture film has. In my film archive I have prints near a hundred years old that run just fine through a projector. The sad thing is, especially with 16mm, film itself will probably outlast the equipment needed to project it.

[TroublesomeInsomnia]

@mufilmfest Perhaps the old technology may not outlast the film reels. I however doubt that we will loose the knowledge of how to build a projector, which is capable to replay these reels. If we for some reason do forget the blueprints, I will personally invest money to rediscover and rebuild the tech involved.

[ToiletFinger]

Ain't you glad your single.

[xXMouadXx]

ah... back when "dick" wasn't a sexual term...

[grunt11b]

I would totally bang every woman in this video. I miss the 40's and I wasn't even there.

[amillionminutes]

I love smashing people's heads open with a rebar club while this song plays.

[grunt11b]

This was back before America went to shit, incase some of you young bucks don't get it.

[MrMatt1512]

This remind me of Fallout new vegas. I once shot a Khan in the head, and the other hour i Sliced a Legion bastard, twenty minutes after i killed Mr.House xD

[Danithel]

You all know what I'm thinking right now right?;)

[squid0862]

Screw The Beatles (Rain/Paperback Writer and Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane) or Elvis (I think Elvis had a music video, but don't quote me on that. :P Research it for yourself)! This is an earlier music video then they had!

[jekennamer]

@squid0862

dude there were music videos goin back to when "talkies" first came out

[kornonthekob9]

was this in man on the moon the jim carey movie

[mufilmfest]

@kornonthekob9 This has been discussed below. A portion of this showing the dancing girls was used in Man on the Moon as part of a longer skit.

[ThePlasmaBlast]

ring a ding ding baby <.< :)

[abbadeen]

Like this comment if 'Man of the Moon (film)' and 'Fallout: New Vagas' made you watch this video. :]

[666XeRoXeD666]

is this the original?

[mufilmfest]

@666XeRoXeD666 It is a 16mm print from the fifties of the original Soundie from 1942 or so. When you see original Soundies all the musicians are left handed and the titles are backwards because the films were back projected. When they reissued them for TV and home sales in the fifties they flipped the films so things looked right.

[NotreDameSentiento]

thumbs up if you started listening to songs like these because of Fallout. :D

[TonyDucats]

@NotreDameSentiento Fallout has brainwashed this song into my head I wake up with this tune in my head, it's driving me insane

[MyGrassIsGreenest]

How risqué were those dancers back in the day? They're showing a lot of leg!

[mufilmfest]

@MyGrassIsGreenest No kidding! You should see The Man Who Comes Around, Always At Your Service, Georgie Porgie, Princess Pa Poulie, and bunches of other Soundies from back then that are even more risqué.

awesome

[misereremeideus51]

Why do people keep saying that they showed this in Man on the Moon? It wasn't a fictional movie, Andy Kaufman did that in real life at Carnagie Hall, so why not just say that?

It was a good movie though, and Jim Carrey was a really good Andy Kaufman.

[Snootwaller]

@misereremeideus51 (( Why do people keep saying that they showed this in Man on the Moon? It wasn't a fictional movie, Andy Kaufman did that in real life at Carnagie Hall )) Thank you for stating the obvious, it was driving me nuts.

[robertlong2233]

the front left woman is my Grandma Sparkle and any of those cowboys could be my Grandfather :p Only Joking awesome song

[MyGrassIsGreenest]

I hope to see this on the Nuclear Winter Wonderland album!

[bobgods66]

patrolling the Mojave makes you almost wish for a nuclear winter

[dore8k]

the part with the horses is in the film "Man on the moon" when the old lady rides the horse and goes like she dies and Andy Kaufman puts her back to life.... great movie :)

[theman4712]

60 PPL HAVE SURVIVED THE MOJAVE WASTELANDS....

[assassin743]

@theman4712 61 :P

[theman4712]

@assassin743 62 :P

[mufilmfest]

It will be three soon. The first was the 1920's singing star J. Harold Murray. The second was a singer with George Olsen's band. I put up part of the the George Olsen at another of my youtube sites portlandwas. The next will be for descendants of Utah Phillips. I also once showed guy himself in a film he had appeared in as a child.

[chanze555]

A video brought to you by Vault Tec!

[coxtrox]

NCR for life!

[kgkologlu]

[fallunicamp]

[gizmosith1]

Fallout

[shonshrinks]

Wow this guy has got some style !

[therancher1]

Thumbs up if you searched this song because of Fallout New Vegas.

[HannahWasHerex3]

@therancher1 Thumbs up if you searched for this song cuz u love the song and are sick of fallout players coming and leaving comments about it.

[iceblood16]

@HannahWasHerex3 You should just be glad that people have been reintroduced to this kind of music. Regarless of the way. If it's not obvious to you, it is to others that the creators of the game were influenced by this song possibly as kids. So in a way It's a sort of tribute. Stop your whinning.

[GuLLoR]

@therancher1

true

[sErgEantaEgis12]

I prefer the one by Kay Kyser...

[EdgeZombie]

@bonicreco Kay Kyser did the FO:NV one.

[4543563]

@bonicreco

What is this?

[MrWalterthomas]

That handsome singing cowboy with the guitar is my grandfather, Richard Goldhahn. It's so nice to see this clip again. I do miss him.

[mufilmfest]

@MrWalterthomas Thanks for making the comment. This makes the third time I've shown someone their grandfather in a film I have. I'm really glad to do it. 

[kgkologlu]

@mufilmfest what are the first two?

[Blaineeer]

@MrWalterthomas so your grandfather finally made it into fallout new vegas. Great!

[ThatLameNinja]

@MrWalterthomas he has a nice singing voice

[anzin74]

@MrWalterthomas Really? Woah, that's really cool! You must've been very proud of your grandad, :)

[HannahWasHerex3]

@MrWalterthomas ur such a liar...

[Fable109]

@MrWalterthomas Wow thats your grandfather cool hes a great singer. Your should try it

[Drblooter99]

@MrWalterthomas

Your granddad was Dick Thomas! You must be very proud. Can you tell me, out of interest, why your name is Thomas when Goldhahn is the family name?

[Babyhowdy233]

@MrWalterthomas

I swear that your grandfather sang one of the very best versions of this classic I have ever heard!

Only Tex Ritter sang it better,IMHO. I have seen this whole film and your grandfather was a good actor, too! :)

[ComedianBobFarrell]

@MrWalterthomas  I remember him playing the accordian at one of the Goldhahn reunions when I was growing up.

[Drblooter99]

This is the last bit of the film obviously. Is there another version in the film?

I've got the original sheet music for this great "cowboy swing" tune from when my dad played in dance bands. Good old youtube lets me hear it.

[mufilmfest]

I could have been more clear. This is a Soundie. It was made some time after the song was introduced in the feature film The Forest Ranger. The version in the feature film is sung by a chorus. Soundies were progenitors of rock videos. They were three minute films produced to be placed in a Mills Panoram machine, a sort of juke box with a 16mm projector inside. The films for the Panorams were called Soundies.

[Drblooter99]

Thanks. You kind of cleared that up for me. Just help a bit more here, could you? A soundie is made after the film is completed, to advertise the film, but from separate "soundie" footage not in the film itself. Correct? And Panorams would feature in bars and diners maybe? Or in cinema foyers etc.?

[mufilmfest]

Soundies were independent of feature films. In the old days of tin pan alley a song would be recorded by multiple bands and singers. Just as your dad performed the song, others would perform, and also record. I have no idea how the royalties worked, but they didn't seem to keep people from recording. Panorams were found in the same places juke boxes would be placed.

[Drblooter99]

Thanks again for the excellent info on soundies. They seem to have the low budget amusement factor of Plan 9 from Outer Space, tipping into the surreal area bordering stupid and insane. Get those girl/horses, who seem to have rehearsed for at least 30 seconds; and the unresponsive stare of the ex-horse girl serenaded in a chair; and the guy who ropes himself then gets chased by a huge transvestite sheriff. Don't get me wrong -- much more fun than expensive modern pop videos!

[DEFENSEPROGRESS]

good song

[proggoth]

I detected a hint of Elvis @ 2:02

[paxguns]

Terrific version of this lovely song. Thank you so much.

[saultbauls]

Oh man I've been lookin for this all over!
