Bimbo Jim Reeves

[scottandtracey2007]

i was bought up with this song my dad used to play this along with the other jim reeves. one of theold ones but for those who remember gentleman jim could sing

[JoeyJonesIsASexGod]

wonderful stuff, shame the ad got banned!

[akeames]

It's funny to ban this ad because of ~that~. Not only are they not in proper child restraints, but this car is BEING "DRIVEN" BY A TWO-YEAR-OLD!!!! I don't think THAT'S legal in Australia, either. :-p

[brentcb2]

Nah, it was probably banned because the steering-wheel is on the wrong side...

[SCROGY]

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C. S. Lewis

[SCROGY]

I see that you have the same asshole, do gooder, dipshit, special interest douchebags in NZ that we have in North America (That want to ban everything).

[54SoSi]

So the issue was not that a toddler was driving a car, but that he was wearing an adult seatbelt while doing it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

[compukenny]

Absolutely great matching this song to this advertisment

[1951jmc]

it was banned in oz because the kids r wearing adult seat belts and in a collision they would slip out of them and thru the windscreen

[holtridge]

I am 29 and my mother still doesn't want me going down the road to see a woman. Just like this song is singing about.

[1994vernon]

how can I download it???????????????????

[momofanavyman]

IT WAS BANNED IN AUSSIE?THAT'S BECAUSE THOSE FOLKS ARE DOWN UNDER ONCE THEY CATCH UP TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. IT WILL BE OK TO WATCH IT LOL

[Altosax50]

My Grandma sang this to me when I was little. It still makes me think of her and her unconditional love.

[basslinewobbla08]

my cat was bimbo

[dog1701]

The origin of the word Bimbo is from the word Bambino and originally referred to little boys. In the 1920's people began using it to refer brainless women.

[tonycalvins]

this a music i can never forget my life

[RandomHouseOfMute]

This song is so funny because the word "Bimbo" is another word for calling a girl a "Bitch"

[patriotsongs]

@RandomHouseOfMute Not when the song was written. And it still isn't, so far as I know. "Bimbo" is sometimes used to call someone brainless, but not a bitch.

Ever see someone cringe when you call their female dog a bitch? Pretty dumb.

[RandomHouseOfMute]

@patriotsongs Kinda yeah, but I don't think anybody uses it to refer to a dog anymore, even though that's where it was originated. You have a point there.

[dog1701]

@RandomHouseOfMute The origin of the word Bimbo is from the word Bambino and originally referred to little boys. In the 1920's people began using it to refer brainless women, not b-i-t-c-h's.

[policemanandrew]

I played this song to just hear the song by Jim Reeves. What a lovely surprise to witness this lovely advert for the first time!!

[ThePatrioticlady]

@policemanandrew - I did, too. My little brother sent it to me and I just had to play it. I loved that song when I was a child -- and I'm 60 years old now. I always did like Jim Reeves' songs and this was one of my favorites.

[65patbill]

Great job on this video. Jim Reeves has never sung a song that I didn't like. I know I will see him in heaven and listen to his voice again. Bill G.

This ad came from New Zealand with different music and was voted our "Best Ad of the Year" a couple of years ago.

[besnproductions]

I loved this song when I was a kid. My first dog was named Bimbo after this song. My parents used to sing it to me all the time.

[Vicsonvee]

My grandfather had this song on 78. Use to listen to it when I was a kid.

[philly452009]

In 1979 I got too see the exact location where his plane went down

[J7B2H3]

Jim Reeves is one of my favourite singers,but

the thing which annoys me is that he pro-

nounces the "l" in walk and talk.

[genesis4kt]

He did? I did not know that. This video is adorable.

[joeyjoey700]

JIM REEVES DIED LONG AGO WHEN HIS PRIVATE AIRPLANE CRASHED.

Sad.

[joeyjoey700]

Soooo good !

[SrGoldenHair]

My late father used to sing this song to me when I was a tiny tot...I was looking through your favourites when I found  it. Thank you so much for the memories....Oh by the way, this ad did feature as Richard Wilkins' (of the Today Show fame) clip of the day...didn't know it was banned ! Absolutely PC madness !!!
