Popeye - I'm Mean - Robin Williams Shelley Duvall

[Matthewsmollen4]

Bluto has a very hot temper.

[Fiddler7649]

This is sung my John Wallace, know as Big John Wallace who sang backup and played bass for Harry Chapin. John has a golden voice and can sing in 5 octives. He is still performing today and in Dec 2011 was part of the Harry Chapin celebration in Bethlehem Pa.

[meichelea1]

I'm mean I'm mean you know what I mean you know what u say

[Matthewsmollen4]

In this live action Popeye movie, is Poopdeck Pappy 99 years old like in the cartoon.

[Matthewsmollen4]

I like Paul L. Smith better without a beard.

[Matthewsmollen4]

I like Paul L. Smith

[cirethgr8]

I bet you didn't know that the guy who played Bluto, was also the sadistic prison guard in the movie Midnight Express. The younger gen. wouldn't know of course.

[Matthewsmollen4]

@cirethgr8 Paul L. Smith plays Bluto in this movie and the sadistic prison guard Hamidou in Midnight Express

[cirethgr8]

@Matthewsmollen4 OK....I stated that in my previous comment.

[DaSchnozzz]

@cirethgr8 that movie is amazing , thanks for that fact

[notchsupreme]

man , this song trying to figure where it was from , thanks

[Matthewsmollen4]

If Bluto is mean, why would he dream about beating up on himself?

[TrashBoy4p]

@Matthewsmollen4 Because that's how mean he is. he just doesn't care. :)

[MrMatto91]

Im so pissed off,I can sing.

[yodiroxie]

I'M SO DAMN MEAN!

[jccw227]

These lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. That makes me feel angry!

[mplsmn1975]

Bluto's unibrow makes me want to come at him with a set of tweezers.

[Angelwise11]

If this was today, Bluto would be manipulating the system & hacking computers. What wouldn't change is Bluto would still never have Olive Oyl.

[ltjerryl]

OLIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[KBAFourthtime]

He means he's mean.

[doobiesmoke15]

Thumbs up if you think they should have had Eugene The Jeep in this movie!

[slhone]

@doobiesmoke15 It should of been a sequel with Eugene the Jeep, Alice the Goon and of course, Sea Hag as the main villian. That would of been so awesome!!! Maybe even an appearance by Popeye's Granny (Poopdeck Pappy's Mom) or even his four identical nephews : Pupeye, Peepeye, Poopeye and Pipeye. Oh what could have been.

[Euwee]

This song just cracks me up. xD When he said, "I had a dream of beating myself up!" I started thinking, "Bluto isn't mean, he's flipp'n crazy." xD

[Durell89]

I'M SO DAMN MEAN!

[Matthewsmollen4]

Paul L. Smith is a burly actor. His real name is Anam Edel.

[Matthewsmollen4]

Paul L. Smith who plays Bluto also played Hamidou in Midnight Express.

[Shadowdetective12]

3 people got beat up by bluto cause hes mean

[phourtay]

3 people are nice chaps...

[zorahna]

Thanks for putting this up!!! One of my favorite movies as a kid and the songs RULE!

[TheZillaGod]

its so funny that thats the beast Rabban

[Tarakian1999]

This is what my kids say about me!!! LOL

[Boudiga]

I love this movie! A real true breed of actors and entertainers there! I'm mean you can see the silent film influences in the stunts they did and beautiful roots of the theater in the whole film!

[JewLoco]

I've always felt rather kindred with bluto.

[TheAltair4]

lol. This song is utterly hilarious.

[PP1969GR]

Mean Bluto destroyed the house:D

[ZapmasterJab]

I liked the part where he said he's mean...

[sfinx2000]

Too funny, I've always liked that scene and that song. Bluto, Sho Nuff from The Last Dragon, and Clubber Lang from Rocky 3 are the most likeable villians of all time. LMBO

[The7ization]

I.M MEAN. lol

[Alucalb1]

LMAO!!!!!!!!

[b04wo]

i dont known if anybody seen a guy run outside at 1:04 and at 1:07 hes inside if your want to know hes the guy with paper in his mouth and moving up and down

[Ultracom99]

Classic! I died laughing when seeing this again! Especially Bluto bringing down the house, literally! Rofl! =D

[UzALyinDevil]

He said he is so mean, he had a dream of beating himself up...looool!!! Mannnn he is mean!! :p

[anton1990]

You will never find a better actor for Bluto than Paul L. Smith! He's friggin IS Bluto!

[Zorlion]

Leave to Bluto to bring down the house.........

[izit420]

I remember how comical I thought Bill Irwin was even as a kid. I couldn't place where I knew him at first, then I remembered his as Mr Noodle on Sesame Street! Very talented.

[Leatherbubba]

He should have sang this in Midnight Express.

[jackleeray]

you somthing wierd they make bluto look stupid in this movie he was acullay preaty smart sorry for bad grammer

[RUMELSKIN]

He seems really nice

[FourElementsProd]

Mr. T was once WHITE?! o.O

[Dem0nHunting]

I like the part where he says "I'm Mean!"

[GeoGarcia10]

I don't like how Popeye takes him out in one punch, I think he should have pummeled him a bit. He gets hit once with a spinach fused punch, turns yellow, then swims away. I'm not saying I could take more than one punch from forearms like that, but come on! I need more tension. The movie brings me back, though :-)

[Adamguy2003]

@GeoGarcia10 On the one hand, it would have been cool if he had pummeled him a bit more like in the cartoon. On the other hand, him fleeing like the coward he is after getting hit once was appropriate, since that's how bullies usually react when people stand up to them.

[GeoGarcia10]

@Adamguy2003 That's a good point. The octopus became the real death threat, and hence the more vile villain. He did pummel the hell out of it and sent it skyward, which did make me laugh as a kid. I guess what I wanted was there, just in a different form. Lol

[Nanaman12345]

@GeoGarcia10 I like that scene actually, since that was one hell of a punch. When I saw that forearm I went "DAMN!"

[soriofan2]

hahahaaha!!!! the guys humping the wall!!!

[djdeejay81]

Noticed how Olive Oyl's mom gives the piano guy the cue to play the song at 0:07? It's like they were fearfully expecting Bluto to record his first single that night lol!

[fuyingbro]

i sing the first part of this song to my wife every once and a while. it is one of the first movies i remember as a kid

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

i swear the voice is different from the actor

it has to have been overdubbed

[lilsublime]

@TEMPmichaelhansen the voice sounds like a black dude!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@lilsublime

thats what I thought

[8cire]

The guy in the brown suit is Bill Irwin.

[8cire]

The guy in the brown suit who gets put through a chair upside down should look very familiar. He made a guest appearence on the Cosby Show season 8 Episode: The show must go on. He also played a undercover fed in a Steve Martin movie "My Blue Heaven". He is best known for his appearence in the video "Don't Worry be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin!

[juliabohemian]

I forgot Bill Irwin was in this.

[waterpipe210]

I had a dream of beating my self up too.

lmbo!!

;)

[Hethrin]

Very good Bluto, you can bend a rubber lamp, but can you fight a rubber octopus?

[Yanni21]

He's Mean dammit!!!

[CrunchyDaddy]

"Broke my nose/I broke my hand/I wrestled myself to the ground and then

I choked myself to death and broke the choke and woke up "

Jesus CHRIST, Bluto! Get some help

[Mysterwright]

@CrunchyDaddy =)) No shit! Makes you wonder why something this campy hasn't been put on Broadway.

[DictatoroftheCake]

I'm getting the impression that Bluto might been mean. Just my assumption.

[Jaybird1103]

If you think Paul L. Smith's Bluto was mean, the Turkish prison guard Hamidou in "Midnight Express" would have made Bluto look like Swee'Pea. In the 2000s, he married his Israeli girlfriend Eve, and moved to Israel where he changed his name to Adam Eden and hers was changed to Aviva Eden.

[niffleheim1998]

Where's Ham Gravy?

[mskokowski]

I think he may be mean...

[salguoddms]

LOL at 1:15 (who the hell is that, they keep showing her close up)

[aberod11]

I don't why, but I get a feeling that Bluto is mean.....

[veeseee128]

the guy that plays bluto plays a sadistic ass hole in the movie "The Midnight express". Its about a american who spends 10 hellish years in a turkish prison. Good movie.

[veeseee128]

fatso

[sargeinbastrop]

he looks like my late uncle Roy...Semper Fi tio!!!!

[miketapify]

This movie was a huge budget project shot on location in Malta. The first weekend it made double at the box office what it cost to make the film. Critics bashed it to death. They cried: horrible soundtrack, poor editing, bad storyline.... it was a cartoon that literally came to life, people! Never a dull moment... it was one of my favorite movies as a child and I own 2 copies on DVD. Paul Smith was BORN to play Bluto!

[praguephotog]

@miketapify I agree. Critics are always slamming this movie, and I don't know why. It's based on a cartoon! What did they expect, the previously unpublished works of Shakespeare?

[mullent169]

i love this movie

[dwassell73]

Trying to find this as an mp3 song

[WarriorGirl1001]

Bluto is big & bulgy!

[TheNightrazor22]

What is the name of the guy who looks like a caveman, who always seems to be everywhere in the film?

[Mahogany1974]

I never had no idea who that guy was.

[FutureDJHero]

0:47-1:04 "I had a dream of beating my self up!"

[TCMfan2kii10]

holy shit. bluto is the white Mr T.......

[kingrico1921]

@TCMfan2kii10 HAHA, You mean Mr.T is the black Bluto, but i don't really see the resemblance other than they're both big, Bluto was usually portrayed as a villain while Mr.T usually played characters of good moral value. I mean T was a bad ass dude on the A Team but he always did what was right, helping the defenseless, while Bluto is just a mean S.O.B

[notanomad]

haha! your right!

[TheDarkThunder]

Nothing bothers Roughhouse.

[miketapify]

That is a nice touch, Roughhouse snoozing while all this is going on... in the earlier scene he is steady playing solitaire during the brawl at his restaurant.

[herbertzohl]

I thought that was the best part of the movie the fact he was sleeping in the corner :-)

[predlycon]

"I'm mean I'm mean I'm mean, ya know what I mean". that's pretty witty lyrics right there.

[veeseee128]

one of my favorite movies. loved it when i first saw it as a kid back in 1980. still like it.

[myrkvargkjetter]

Seeing how they gave Williams those ugly plastic underarms to wear, I really wish they would have beefed up Bluto's chest and overarms a bit as well to make him look a bit more like the toon.

This film is an odd thing... Its absolutely faithful to the source material... and as a result it comes off as.. well... batshit insane, and not that interesting in larger portions.

[miketapify]

I heard that the forearms were made from a cast of Paul Smith's (Blutos) arm.  I thought they were pretty realistic looking, considering nobody could actually have forearms that large.

[veeseee128]

bluto reminds me of a high school bully I once knew always pushing his weight around.

[anton1990]

I was so pissed when I bought the crappy dvd, and many of the songs, including this one, was cut out of the movie!

[coldhard99]

that guy is PISSED XD

[jon4de]

wow this movie is almost 30 years old and its still cool

[antlerbaby]

One of the reasons why I love the movie "Popeye" is how the songs seem like they were written by a 9 year old boy. This one especially.

[KingofStarfox]

Is he saying he's 'MEANER THAN SHIT' and it's blanked out? Seems to be! Especially since they rhyme it with 'that's it. that's it.'

[MsTwinkle101]

Believe it, or not the movie called for Bluto to say "MEANER THAN SHIT" but it was dubbed out as this WAS intended for younger audiences... But as all good things go, they forgot to slip the "DAMN" word out =P

[TherealRNO]

@MsTwinkle101: And when Popeye himself said "Oh shit" when diving into the brimey deep to save his gal and his infink adopticated son, the censors missed it! XD

[gtyme125]

Classis 80s movie and music combo....Excellent

[arrestedeveloper]

So, the real question we have to ask is: is Bluto mean?

[KBAFourthtime]

Yes. Probably worse than just mean: real wicked.

[KBAFourthtime]

@arrestedeveloper Yes. Actually, he's worse than that.

[saabturbografx]

Man, Bluto really tore that house up? Be reasonable man!

[TherealRNO]

@saabturbografx: Talk about bringing down the house. Literally. But as he is the villain of the film, there is no doubt that he's definately meaner than mean.

[AguilarRock]

Where is the ending? where he gets red eye mad and Popeye and Olive's cloth turn red...all around.

[NAZI44]

he's mean.

[oddballbama1]

this song is awsome should be a ringtone!

[diddymuck]

god awlful.

[superbadlucre]

Full of awls? Well... if you say so.

[unrescued]

the guy at 0:35 has no idea what he's saying

[crownwhite]

I would totally do the lady at 1:10 and 1:15

[crownwhite]

Dennis Franz @ 0:44

[tymanv003]

timeless

[Talloweed]

It's always a memorable moment when Bluto decides to fill the air with his sonorous voice. Let's not forget his legendary performance of the Sinbad song.

[veeseee128]

You dont get no meaner than this!

[mysteriousyoungman]

The guy is awesome, I've seen his Sesame Street work.

[mysteriousyoungman]

Just for a bit of trivia; the guy who is thrown upside down into the chair wen t to Barnum and Bailey's Clown College and appeared on an episode of the Cosby Show where Bill takes the kids to a Vaudeville revival show.

[NYCPulpHero]

thats Bill Irwin. he's damn talented. he was also on Sesame Street as Mr. Noodle's friend or brother. I forget

[hme789]

HAHA ben mayer

[Revelation181]

They edited this part out of the movie when it is played on television because the feminists made a complaint in reference to it promoting domestic violence against women.

[NYCPulpHero]

fucking idiots...

[ZuedaMagargan]

Hypocrisy. To say that the men can be beaten up in this scene whereas the women cannot is blatant sexism against men. Those retarded feminists wouldn't understand that foreign concept though, the petty man haters.

[TherealRNO]

@ZuedaMagargan: But in the Segar canon, that's how it was. The men settled their disputes with fistacuffs, whereas the womenfolk were usually the dainty damsel-in-distress type and only stood up for themselves when their men cast eyes at other girls.

[veeseee128]

he sounds like hes constipated.

[RicciDids]

do you think he's mean? lol

[TherealRNO]

cld..."Mean. You know I mean. (He's mean. He's mean.) I'm meaner than *shit*. (That's it. That's it.) I mean what I say. (He do. He do.) I'm so mean I had a dream of beatin' himself up. I broke my nose. I broke my hand. I wrestled myself to the ground & then choked myself to death & then broke the choke & woke up...Arr!"

[NAZI44]

he's mean.

[CormanBARBARIAN]

YOU know what he means! XD

[Roy701]

and we know what he means

[Alfrunk]

he means what he say.

[Roy701]

he's so damn mean

[StarAJT84]

This song should go to an Incredible Hulk AMV

[cldbstrjr]

meaner than what???? mike tyson no a skunk no a peed off dog ;p no what was it ??? oh i know hes meaner than mean jo green ? no guess we never realy find out eh lol oh well great movie anyws buy the way far as the 2 guys i said was joking no harm ment ;] haha ;p

[bkgood1]

Van Dyke Parks is the piano player they show briefly in the beginning.

[YoshiAngemon]

"I'm so damn mean!" I like this song, it really brings down the house!

[logitechnc]

I'm gay I'm gay I'm gay you know what I mean.

[Taytayadventure]

My whole family hates Popeye but when I was 1-3 years old I watched it I LOVE this movie my favorite and no one at my school even knows this movie.

[Wufnu]

So help me, I've remembered that part where he talks about the dream he had ever since I was a baby.

[pattyk77]

I think it must of took him about a day to write all the songs. I yam what I yam I yam what.. you get the idea.

[curlytoes79]

I wonder how long it took Harry Nilsson to write this song.

[collegeguy6ft1]

The woman on the couch (principal from "Kindergarten Cop") also plays the boxer's mother a little later in the film.

[kasumi421]

Surprisingly, Bluto is a good singer. I do love this song.

[daria169]

my dad used to sing this all the time when i was younger. haha...he was joking he's not mean. it was just funny to me and my sister. since we were very little.

[seleehwekim]

Hi Daria. My mother used to sing this song.

[ihopeutubedies]

haha he beat himself up!

[Geo101]

lol bluto sounds black when hee sings

[javaly78]

I know, its almost like the actor's not actually singing :-o

[eiremoonblossom]

Love how the first thing Bluto does when he realizes Olive Oil ditched him is break into song and destroy the house.

[scholarch]

Now if someone could mix this song with the Wisconsin geezer from the McCain rally.

"I'm mad. I'm really mad."

Jk, epic fail.

[Neoguest]

Talk about letting out your anger.

[lordaziahman]

i always loved this vid and one thing that i just figured was that they only used 1 cuss word total in the whole thing XD

[dolphinluv2413]

I love Bluto.

[ToroLover]

This is my theme song.

[Mulluns]

Man, I loved this movie. Still do.

[anton1990]

God was I dissapointed when I got my dvd and found out that all the songs were cut, I need that other edition.

[Jac2Mac]

Do you have the US or UK DVD of Popeye?

[tronus]

I lol'd.

Even when I was six.

[myself212121]

when you start dreaming beating yourself up it is time to seek professional help

[saddlesee]

One of my anthems.

[jedrek12345]

Mean mean mean the word is used cleverly in the lyrics ^_^

[swordsman6]

This was one of my fav movies as a kid...that's pretty mean if you're dreaming of beating yourself up.

[WizardGlik]

I have no idea what he means.

[myself212121]

i think the music was the physcological trigger

[brokentobits14]

he can sing and trash the play too....

[brokentobits14]

sorry i ment place...

[myself212121]

wow that is mean

[Nightshade4711]

he actually has a pretty nice voice in this song

[mojanwhit]

I soooooo remember this movie and this song. In fact, its the only song I actually remember from this movie. Some of the other songs started to come back after seeing them displayed bjut I use to go around singing this song to people and they would have no clue whatsoever about what the hell I got this song from
