"Everybody wants to be a cat, cause a cats the only cat, who knows how to hack!"

[italianstallion891]

Yea. That's coffee mama. Yea.

[ragemanchoo82]

What year was this? 1971?

[Bigwave2003]

You can sneak a lot past the censors if you're clever. The line in this song where he's getting hot and heavy with his girl on Lover's Lane and she says, "I need a filter on that" -- meaning a condom.

[karinablacktie]

I'm surprised they were able to get away with the little hand action at 1:23. Pretty risque for back then. Actually , pretty risque for prime time even now.

[MsEco13]

@karinablacktie HAHA! After I read your comment, I suddenly realized that the joke was a double entendre! Silly me!

[79barkingspider]

@karinablacktie Not that risque. They used to squeeze all kinds of double entendres into their stuff. Lousy story since I can't remember the participants, but a comic, probably Milton Berle, and an actress, Marilyn, Diana Dors, Jane Mansfield? had this interchange: He: You want to play television? She: Sure, how do you play? He: I play with your knobs and you watch my antenna go up. This was an old joke in the 50's. No problem with censors since the shows were LIVE.

[leesherman100]

Let's see here, I think I'll make a comment, right after I have another cigarette!!.

[stalzz]

Early Rap!

[jdeniro919]

@stalzz Haha that's what I was thinking, too.

[AleOmalley13]

[guitarlord247]

[Gnillob802]

Today this would be rated R.

[Lampshade51]

Wow! Hats off to Phil for doin' "Smoke Smoke Smoke" LIVE without missing a beat or lyric.

Harris was the original rapper!

[bishopaz]

[Starcastle2009]

[guitarlord247]

[1kingofutube]

one of the most epic voices ever

[dragonz4eva]

can someone please send me his greatest hits cd? I want his music, but I cant afford to buy at the moment, and I want them for my ipod :(

[na13b5spd]

There are only two famous people I have always wanted to meet but never will be able to due to the fact that they passed away before I was born: John Wayne, and Phil Harris.

[tobinsuke]

@na13b5spd , they appear together in the movie The High and the Mighty.

[Kenny12554]

This guy was the "definition of "cool" ....nobody was ever better than Phil Harris!  Only person who could even "remotely" come close in the "cool" division was Dean Martin.

[caloscalante1518]

@Kenny12554 I think that among the Cool cats Dean Martin and Phil Harris, we can add Cab Calloway

[talkinboutjon]

I'm 31 years old and I have a very special place in my heart for Mr. Phil Harris. I'm glad I found this video. He was truly a class act. --Johnny Cash, a legend as well:)

[alulu8]

Come on now bushel britches.....

[kryptonianpowers]

What year was this?

[60Cascade]

@kryptonianpowers This was a summer replacement show Johnny Cash had on ABC. This particular show aired on September 27, 1969.

[LOVEMYSUBLIME]

NOICE thanks for the link MS FOXXXY

[CarlCampbell]

I wish people would still talk like that nowadays...

[hajune]

Phil Harris and Alice Faye had a radio program that was funny tunny funny. You can hear them at OTR. Truust me you will enjoy it. It was a take off from Jack Benny.

[GERANDKELL]

So that's the face of the voice. I always wondered what he looked like. It' s going to be fun finding out about him. Excellent guy. Ger

[radioianj]

I love "The Darktown Poker Club" by Phil Harris-I first heard it on Radio 2's Alan Dell Big Band show here in the UK in the 1970s, and finally got a copy of it last year!

[TralfazConstruction]

Phil Harris.

Exquisite talent and widely known in his time, even now.

I saw him hunting with Curt Gowdy and Bing Crosby on ABC's "The American Sportsman" and I never stopped to ponder how cool that was until now. Try getting a show devoted to hunting on Network TV today.

Though at the time I hadn't known Phil for his crooning, I knew him for being the substantial talent that propelled Baloo the Bear. My Mom told me so.

Raising a glass to Phil, Bing & Curt.

Gentlemen all.

[jediskunk67]

Phil Harris sounds like Bob Barker.

[chrislebensmother]

How about he sounds like John Wayne? I thought Baloo was voiced by JW when I was a kid.

[PaulUmbarger]

Cigarettes? Nah, I'm going to stick to my pipe! LOL!

[akisandrei]

Baloooooooooooooo:X

[mapscannotcontainme]

LOL. Somehow I just can't imagine the Jungle Book going:

Mowgli: "Whatcha got there, Papa Bear?"

Baloo: "Take a drag of this, Man Cub."

[animehershey]

ROFLMAO!

[Shaggychurchshoes]

Phil was born just down the street from where i live!!

[ElectrickDragon]

phucking awesome!

[laslos3]

thanks phil...now I want a cigarette...lol brb hahah

[laslos3]

"now when she say's good night, her hand shake isn't as firm." ha ha ha I love old country artists...they had a great sense of humor.

[hourlynewscaster]

Phil Harris was one of the most multi-talented entertainers of the last century, but NEVER got the recognition he deserved.

[EnniThomas]

VERY true!

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

So Great! A real Star..  Bigger than life, and always such class.

[BlackRadical001]

2 big voices right there

[jasonvh]

Woah, Baloo can really bust rhymes.

[SueBeaWho]

I LOVE Phil!! So classy and funny.

[italiangirl1587]
