Good To Be The King

[RosesBlue445]

t/y for posting this i can't stop playing it :)

[wlwilliford0207]

Thumbs up if you are anxiously awaiting for Mel Brooks to come out with another Comedy Blockbuster.

[Rolfchoppa007]

@wlwilliford0207 didn't he retire? :/

[clearacres]

Just get in touch with the silly reality of so much that we (nutty humans) consider sacred. Mr Brooks used the media to inform us what was stupid and offer an alternative! Laugh at yourself and you are Mel Brooks!!!

[MyJaySeven]

Good job on the video....we used to dance to this when I was in high school. The movie isdefinitely a classic.

[ChristewieTV]

Isn't this the same beat as the Hitler Rap?

[IngridBergmanRocked]

LOL! Get down Mel with ya bad self.

[ThePhatboy3]

Cool, funky, just get on down!

[JazzyPatrick45]

Enjoyed anything related to Mel Brooks makes me feel happy...

[Shadowz41]

Everyone wants to be the king like Mel Brooks. :D

[DenshoGiallo]

Long Live Mel Brooks !

[Holgi1403]

Its Good to be a King ! Yeah !

[spewey111]

Yeah, this song was big in NY circa 1980 on WBLS, WRKS and WKTU. Actually a really cool tune!

[youfool8181]

haha this is pretty good!

[Felipecabesas]

Its Good to be the king!

[intestinedogwars]

my favorite line is the chess seen and he is like '' what the Hell did you say" it makes me laugh every time

[TheOriginalSinnerman]

God I love this (and other Mel Brooks) movie(s). Right up there with the Monty Pythons, IMO.

[holzg01]

I clearly remember this one from the very early '80s. Go see Hilter Rap too. Sad part is that too many dumb asses don't understand Parody and miss out on what is intended.

[x170063]

Great movie, remember seeing it with my old gf when it was released (movie was great, but she was horrid) It's good to be the king.

[buckeyebabe14]

lol same beat as Hitler Rap. I love it :)

[bornwithaBA]

I thought this was by a Black Man when I first heard it.

[UtahMike41]

"Hey, what country you from?"

"Ethopia"

"What part?"

"125th Street"

[nateelam]

the groove reminds me of Carl Carlton - She's a Bad Mama Jama

[BigBossPUP]

almost the same bass line ;)

[smichelle65]

True story--this is the first rap song by a white act to hit the top 40 (predating Blondie's "Rapture").

[OnyxOblivion]

and its just a movie track...to make the feat more impressive.

[Tareltonlives]

And the first rap song I've heard that hasn't made me throw up. Mel Brooks, you've done it again

[Sakkara1331]

Actually Mel Brooks recorded this song in 2002 , not 1980 so it does not pre-date Rapture

[smichelle65]

This was recorded in 1980 to promote the movie "History of the World, pt I"; it was a hit on various "urban" radio stations--trust me, I was there!

[Gathol]

dangit i can't share. LOL this better than a rick roll. ROFL leppking knowz.

[Okvazo]

Sounds a suspicious lot like "To be or not to be" :)

[barefootmessiah]

OMG! It is! LOL

[04279]

I think, it's otherwise ;-). "History of the World" was in 1980. And "To be or not to be" in 1983 or 1984.

[66kompis]

Thanks for uploading... I made my friends listen to this a while ago to get the "french revolution" it's pretty honest  lyrics..........!!

[TequilAndLime]

great vid.. but you should change vid format

[lucawsmade]

Thanks! Not sure which format..I use one program to add BG audio track and video clips...then create..it's the changing of vid formats with windows movie maker that kills it...

[simonteam]

again, well done 5 stars for creativity--i had no idea he did a version of this song--because he did to be or not to be--video in 83 and was a smashing success--much thanks for what you have done--well done

[lucawsmade]

In the alleys of Paris There are demonstrations But it was fillet mignon For the State employees There was Reds, Unionists, Morons and Troskyists I gave them the little But I kept the girl Blond, redhead, wild, brunette Ladies in wait I didn't wait to get There was truffles for breakfast Toast for brunch The lion of the folley's version for lunch... Ooh yes it's good to be the king Ooh la la Gee but it's good to be the king !!!

[MamboJamboBrazil]

the scene of Greogory Hines tap dancing to the music is funny and touching at same time

[mrniceinga]

I love this line, lol. Its good to be the king, lol.

[lucawsmade]

Mel is genius. He is the only one I know who can repeat a routine from one movie into another and still make me laugh.

[KonTr4b4nd]

very true ! probably the only one that ever could

[sanspareille]

Thanks for posting that one :)

[lucawsmade]

Your welcome. :)

[whiteplainsdrifter]

Listening to the music of this video and seeing most of Mel Brooks movies, I have come to the conclusion that he has done it all. and he is indeed talented and has a sense of humor.
