Jane Morgan - "C'est Si Bon" (Scopitone)

[WytZox1]

Duringthe early 1060s Allen Sherman did a hilarious parody of this song titled I SEE BONES about a doctor describing what he saw in an X-Ray.☺

[szsaid3]

does anyone have the original version, like the one in the grey goose commercial? the more jazzy version of it. not scopitone.

[hfclsv]

Muy buena!

[sparkescadman]

Jane is the Marilyn Monroe of all singers, with a voice.....

[ninaruru]

i walk like that sometimes 0:19

[hibob418]

Man is she smooth - also married to Movie Producer / Concert Promoter Jerry Weintraub.

[Glinkaism1]

Tres chic! C'est ci bonne!

[kennyt1230]

I prefer Eartha Kitt's version--but this is okay.

[db2664]

I really dig those French babes !!!

[DrGoFast1]

hahahaha 1:23 !

[wastl700]

Another one of this 16mm copies for this "Scopitone" music boxes... Someone in that time had the idea: Music must be heard and sawn! (Today MTV does the same) Not an invention of the 80ies!!

[myopicchiwawa]

C'est si bon, De partir n'importe où, Bras dessus bras dessous, En chantant des chansons, C'est si bon, De se dire des mots doux - De petit rien du tout - Mais qui en disent long. En voyant notre mine ravie Les passants dans la rue, nous envient C'est si bon, De guetter dans ses yeux Un espoir merveilleux Qui donne le frisson

[myopicchiwawa]

C'est si bon

Ces petit's sensations

ça vaut mieux qu'un million.

C'est tell'ment, tell'ment bon

[gfdsaasdfg1]

I actually like this, but Barbra's rendition is pretty good too.

[Phalamis]

As an American all I can say is Tittilate me.

[Sawbilly]

May I propose a little quelque chose Gallic for the evening?

[margotdarby]

much better than that dreadful eartha kitt

[MrMelancholie]

1:25 electroshocked girls?

[fulteacup]

Hey this was a cool video and song by her. I'll be back!

[DavesXXXXXXXX]

this clip rocks!

[pariskatois]

She looks like she knows what she's singing about!

[TheEldoradoKid]

Dig that crazy chick Daddy-O!! Jayne Manfield hair, Peggy Lee attitude, and a pop sounding voice bordering on Patsy Cline! It's the wiggiest! Why this woman is not more widely known is beyond me. What great moves, and the backup dancers are like... too much! Wowsville, man!

[RowdEman]

@TheEldoradoKid LMAO you got it down now, . . . Daddy-O.

Yep, she was definitely NOT an L7.

She was, like, the hippest, coolest chick with the beat! (Mondo, mondo finger snaps, man) Like dug you comments. lol

[defundthewar]

@TheEldoradoKid 2 more different ladies never existed, and it never even occurred to me, but you are right... there is a distinct similarity between the voices of Patsy Cline and Jane. You have a good ear.

[TheEldoradoKid]

@defundthewar Yeah! I appreciate the compliment!, no but seriously pull out Patsy Clines Greatest Hits and queue up a little ditty with the Nashville Strings backing her up. Then listen to her low and mid-range tonal qualities. Her and Jane would be able to pull off a great duet of similar sounding voices, and sound kind of like the female Everly Brothers! Now imagine Jane with a brunette beehive hairdoo singing with Patsy on the Ed Sullivan show!..Separated at birth!? Oy!, they would be a hit!

[defundthewar]

@TheEldoradoKid I had PC's Greatest hits, and some other of her cassettes... and I wore them out!

[shatinterry]

This is so.... good.......!!

[davpier59]

Jane Morgan was one of the top female singers of the '50's and '60's...She performed for UNICEF on Dec. 10, 09...go to Google and type in JANE MORGAN/UNICEF and she how super she looks today!!!

[RUDDIBARDOT]

@davpier59 SHE IS GREAT AND THANK YOU

[docmusic1930]

No me canso de escuchar a la linda Jane Morgan en esta canción Cest si bon.. Una melodía cantada por quien el famoso cantante colombiano Alfonso Alvarez Corradine dijera una vez: " Es la voz de un ángel del cielo "

[wuzup36i3]

"C'est Si Bon"

These words sound so Sexy.

Coming out of her mouth.

That was so entertaining.

Tks, for Posting.

Love,

Teri

[1mothra]

Mothra alights when kitsch is being discussed! What a delightful conversation! Many of you have raised excellent points and provided some fine history as well...just admit that this clip is awesome: Janie-Bird looks killer and Mothra is pleased! Down with "Governor" Sanford!

[macraeman]

KICKY!! Jane Morgan - what a voice.

[nancyfloressantos]

I love it. Very nice video clip. Thanks for sharing.

[chris24david]

this is NOT " Basic Instinct "  lmao !!!

lighten up everybody...this is video is AWESOME :)

[Butterflypoo]

Re: the upskirt controversy - Scopitones were created to be shown in bars and taverns, vs. the general public (like MTV today). Therefore, some prove to be surprisingly racy for the time. If you want to watch a real mind blower, look at "Night Has a Thousand Eyes" by Bobby Vee - !!!! Good discussion tho...

[defundthewar]

I am crazy about this song, clip, and Morgan & keep going back to it as I do with some Doris Day vids... they are just very feel-good. I'm no arbiter of morality, and it's up to the viewer to decide whether things are offensive, risque, or not, but please let's not say that the showing of a lot of you-know-what was an accident or caused by the weight of the Scopitone camera. If you can raise the Eiffel Tower, you can lift a camera above these girls' pubic regions.

[77933]

@defundthewar

What was showed? One must be a puritan American to see something obscene here.

[defundthewar]

@77933 Nope, just reasonably good eyesight.

[mrdaft]

@defundthewar Of course it was not by accident...you just need to get over it. The camera was placed where it was because sex sells. Nothing is shown other than long legs in skirts. Most scopitones had the scopitone dancers in them and in some videos the dances are much much more risque than this one. This song and video are just fun. The song title even tells you that.

[defundthewar]

@mrdaft There's nothing to get over. It's all silly fun.

[themissmorganshow]

its me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEXY BUM

[defundthewar]

Well, whoever did it crossed the line.

[Ilovemyoldguitar]

Crossed what line? the low camera angle was popular with Scopitones and tv recordings at the time, e.g. Top of the Pops in England. This was partly for practical reasons, the bulky cameras were difficult to move from floor level to stage level, and the type of shot marked it as "young and hip". Scopitones were made in France, it didn't offend the nation then, and it doesn't now. This sort of comment is often made by people from emerging democracies.

[defundthewar]

I am from an emerging democracy- the USA. When the issue of election fraud is fully addressed- there is nothing to prevent another coup as there was in 2000 from happening again- it might be a real democracy. That said, Wellveryinteresting & I were chatting about our hormone-driven Gov. Sanford, who kept saying he "crossed the line." It's a long story and not everybody will get it. Many Scope videos were meant to tittilate; it you can't see that you are impossibly naive.

[defundthewar]

At the very beginning... was this choreographed by a gynecologist?

[Wellveryinteresting]

Either that or South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford (although there was no touching and it wasn't love and he didn't go hiking in the Appalachians!)

[shakiMiki]

Try the Ertha Kitt version.

[seacoo]

This video kicks ass !!!!!!!!!!!!

[sierria64]

@seacoo eartha made this famous and she sounded smooth

[LaVerne37]

This lady makes my keyboard melt........sigh.......IT'S SO GOOODDDD!!!!
