  • Look at those tits!

  • He sounds just lik Louis Armstrong

  • awesome voice! love it!

  • when was this? that's important isn't it?  Or all you all detectives?

  • her look/demeaner is called "dead pan" she is the straightman in the act.

  • hi

    

  • Any body have an mp3 of " A Flea And A Fly In A Flue"?

  • this vid dosent match the song f u

  • He was italian.

  • I just uploaded a Louis Prima video I made. Check it out.

  • This is pure gold!! Thanks mate!

  • great song with great lyrics

  • My dream brought me here.

  • Alan from twoandahalfmen brought me here

  • awesome!!!

  • one of the greats

  • Merita...

  • Now that's cool and just set the record straight, I watched them both and he did change it (a bit)

  • @4year he took out the "gigolo-gigolo-gigolo-gigolo-g­igolo" backaground vocals, that´s good enough to me, hahaha

  • David Lee Roth should be ashamed.

    He didn't change a syllable

  • @4year David Lee Roth never claimed it was his song. I've heard him give Louis credit in interviews.

  • @4year Why should he? Its a great song, who says someone covering it has to change it?

  • His wife is the real start and what an amazing voice.

  • Whahaha what happens at 0:28 ?? Problably one of their jokes!

  • Keely's shtick was to act like she couldn't care less about the lunatics around her - which made the band's craziness even more outlandish. They put on a kickass show !

  • Besides the music I adore Keely's haircut ;-)

  • Him, 12 years older than Frankie Valli.. Both Italian guys.. diff. styles of music.. but both a lot of instruments.. that t]is the key.. I love Louis! I remember in Arica  Chile ..I heard some songs from Louis.. I was 15.

  • He sounds so much like Tony Bennett

  • LMAO at the girl's facial expressions in this song!

  • everything would be much more sad and dull if Louis Prima didn't live on earth

  • Why wasn't this in Fallout New Vegas? :) 

  • @VagrantNoName just belive and it will in the next game

  • @VagrantNoName Because everyone loves the Courier. Sarah Weintraub, Red Lucy, Joana... ;)

  • @SimuLord

    The courier is just a gigolo. B)

  • I should be listening to this in a record player

  • Who thought it was a good idea on this clip to cut out Mr Butera's sax solo????

  • Nobody cares for others

  • @LUKAAA1 I care for you buddy. :) have a great day!

  • is it just me or why is keely so fukkin pissed off? Oo

  • @detroitchecker I thought so to0, but heres what wikipedia says atleast: "Prima insisted on Smith adopting a humorless, poker-faced character that would play straight to Prima's zany ad libs. Smith actually had a fine sense of comedy that is often audible on the team's recordings; no matter how much the incorrigible Prima tried to disrupt her vocals, Smith would often come back with a funny remark of her own." Then again this may be pure hogwash since its wikipedia, but its very plausible.

  • @detroitchecker : it was part of the act! LOL

  • @detroitchecker Because that's what makes her so fucking sexy?

    She is so cold and unimpressed :D

  • She is the original Buttercup, Mandy, Raven and pretty much every popular cute evil and always boyish girl you know!

  • @detroitchecker that was her adopted stage persona, louie was supposed to be a joker type and she was the straight faced 1 liner type.

  • @detroitchecker She ALWAYS looked that way whenever they were onstage together.

    Nice rack, though.

  • @detroitchecker It was part of their act... Sonny and Cher copied them later. .. Keely was the straight man to Louis clowning around..

  • @detroitchecker Part of the act

  • @detroitchecker good question, I dunno, I think it's part the act -

  • She's just playin' "dead pan" It's all just a playful act. Louis and the guys are jumping all over the place and she's just pretending to be emotionless. It's all part of the fun.

  • Didn't the female singer do some acting, anyone?

    Peace.

    Rock

  • Keely cracks me up! LOL

  • Comment removed

  • I too am just a gigolo

  • I saw Louis Prima in New orleans at LeonPrima's club .It just blew me away

    with Louis playing the trumpet and singing those great songs. That made me a Prima fan for life. The next time I saw him was in the Monteleone hotel in NO.

    He died sometime after that. Most of his musicians were from New Orleans, a city that has produced many,many great musicians. deralte

  • could anyone say if ther is a copyright on his songs i got over 90 songs from him all in as mp3 i would like to upload them

  • Louis Prima is my 3rd cousin. :D

  • @THEBIRDMAN9412 For real? Seriously?

  • @gjc82071 No lie. He was my grandpas cousin, my dads side. So hes my third cousin. Louis Prima is my Great grandfathers, brothers son.

  • @THEBIRDMAN9412 Cool. Well if you know much about him/his band, you'd know that Sam Butera was the lead sax player. When Louis died, Sam took over the band. "Sam Butera & the Wildest". From 81-83 my step-dad played lead sax in the band. I spent my summer/Easter vacations (I was 11yo) on the road with the band and in Atlantic City NJ. They played @ Resorts International. I watched the show many times and had a blast on the Boardwalk! Most fun/memorable times in my entire life. I miss it!

  • @gjc82071 Really? haha thats awesome! My Grandpa told me lots of stories about him and louis driving from new orleans to Vegas haha

  • @THEBIRDMAN9412 Well, they did basically the same circuit/tour when my dad was with them. NoLa, Vegas, etc, but that was in winter when I was in school. In summers it was Pocono Mt. resorts (which sucked because we were stuck in a motel in the middle of nowhere) for a couple weeks, then the rest of the summer was in Atlantic City. It was so awesome! The boardwalk then was full of game arcades. When I'd see the show, me & dad left early and hit the arcade in the casino, to play video games.

  • @gjc82071 Thats awesome. I had no Idea the band went on after Louis died. I really wish I had known about all of this before now. Im growing up in the wrong decade...

  • Hell yea! Right up until Sam died June 3, 2009. If you search Youtube for "Sam Butera", there are a few semi-recent videos of his shows. I wish I would have got to see Sam/his show 1 last time before he died. I doubt he'd remember me (it was 28yrs ago), but I can say that he was always nice to me backstage & at the shows. When I'd go in the dressing room w/my dad, Sam would be like "Aeyyyy, there's the little guy!". God, if you only know how cool it was, & how much I miss those days! :-)

  • @gjc82071 That sounds like such a blast! Ive missed out on so much of this. I wish music like this was still around. Most of the stuff that comes out now is so tasteless. Ive still got a long ways ahead of me though haha, Im sure when i have kids they will look at the music that is new now and think its super old and way better than whatever some Robotic Justin Bieber is singing hahahahah

  • @gjc82071 I'd have to look up on the history. But Either Louis changed his name from Cuccia to Prima or it was my great grandfathers, sister. Its all very complicated stuff. I used to watch the Disney movie The Jungle Book all the time...little did I know that was my cousin singing as the monkey king louis! hahaha

  • AWESOME

  • Mad dog and Glory brought me here!

  • Keely not Kelly

  • LOUIE PRIMA recorded before Daved Lee Roth was born.....So 37 people are wrongggggg....

  • fuckin nothin beats louis prima

  • You have to realize that Keely Smith's ACT was standing there as if she were disinterested. Despite his flaws, Prima was one of the hottest acts for decades. He was, indeed, "Mr. Energy."

  • @hourlynewscaster THANK you! Sometimes seems like there's no intelligent life on youtube. It's nice to come across a true aficionado, now & again. Keely's stony-faced expression counterpointed his exuberance and was perfectly executed too. By the standards of the time, very progressive. ( As you would know! )

  • 40 people got onebody

  • She really looks like she doesn't want to be there. They are like jumping around and she looks angry

  • @go2allnations1 Google it or can it, you lazy clown.

  • Louis Prima was the blackest white guy of the 50's!

  • for a latin guy he has no rythem

  • Yeah, when will halter-neck tops come back? Ace x

  • 0:30 - 0:35....hahahhah cute :D

  • The choreography is a little strange but musically, this one is pretty good! Of course Louis Armstrong's is the best on the horns. David Lee Roth is the most fun. The Lou Bega and Village People versions are ((!?!??!))

  • @chezniki I' have to agree with most of that statement. The one thing I'll have to disagree with is the Lou Bega one not being good. I may like that one because, as a kid growing up in the nineties, I listened to Lou Bega. The first version of this song I heard was the Lou Bega version (which isn't bad, just different).

  • CHICHE ESTA CHOCHO CON HD

  • I had a totally different take on this song because of this video, thanks for posting it... Much better than any other version.

  • Good song... I've sang this song many a time out loud!! : )

  • why the fuck all the solos are cut?

  • Mad Dog and Glory :D

  • This version and Roth's are both amazing :)

  • -Che bei polmoni ha la signora!

  • Nice pair of funbags.....

  • Good times! :-)) 

  • hey what happened to the sax solo!

  • lo mejor c:

    

  • Hahah there all coked up...

  • i don't know what version i like better, this or roth... this one is awesome.lol

  • this should be sent out to deep space, then when aliens find it they will realise we are not all complete twats.

  • Tell me he wasn't fuckin Keely Smith? Who wouldn't?

  • @crobarus

    He and Keely were married and had kds, so its pretty safe to say some fucking took place.

  • Louis Prima is a pimp.

  • @svhrcks5150 But if this didn't existed, then Roth would've not able to do it "better"

  • Holly shit their both high as kites. At around oh say 29 seconds, when Lou Prima and the girl start to rub noses they both inhale very hard through their nostril. Possible cocaine still uncleared from the first bump. Right after that they both are doing the good old cocaine clear out (coving each nostril then inhale). As Lou does pretty sly. IDK but, she could even have some cocaine around the front of her nose and he could just be snorting that way, while playing even.

  • @DaBoulDick What? They rub noses when singing the chorus and then jokingly wipe their noses afterwards. You are a spastic.

  • this song I heard on the night when I broke up with my girlfriend, so its kinda sad. But for everyone with a broken heart, everything will be fine and now i can sing along with a big grin on my face for all the happy times that are right now!

  • 37 people think Louis Prima covered David Lee Roth

  • This, this performance, is where David Lee Roth found most of the inflections for his version. I like 'em both, but this one better.

  • i"Just A Gigolo" was intended to be sung as a heart-wrenching ballad. Louis Prima was the first to put a positive, swinging spin on this tune - and it works! In my book, Prima was "the man."

  • U about to spend a night with Fred Garvin --- MALE PROSTITUTE !!

  • I love Louis Prima and his fantastic voice !

  • I'm watching this with a Tiger Woods boblehead on my desk.

  • @92abcdefg HAHAHAHAHAHA LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE

  • @92abcdefg Ha ha hahahaha!  :oD

  • @92abcdefg LOL, is this just a funny comment, or does it have something to do wtih the video lol

  • @92abcdefg LOL, is this just a funny comment, or does it have something to do wtih the video lol

  • @sjpc33 Women will do that to you. You can't live with them or without them. At least I can fuck them ( like a gigolo).

  • seu rosto e o mesmo de ontem,hoje e sempre

    LINDA

    que Deus nos a deixe por muito mais tempo ao nosso lado

    joao

  • Miss Smith don't look happy in the least.  Comedy!

  • Man, Keeley Smith could save me any day...

  • Comment removed

  • THUMB for powerful lyrics

  • looove it!

  • He was in the old school, yet seems he was as hip as the emerging rock 'n rollers - was very loose vs other Vegas types.

    Ahead of his time (before my time too).

    An over looked singer.

  • never knew which song that line "IIIIII aitn got nobody" came from. What a present. never heard of louis prima but turns out I know his music. What a find!!!

  • @bobbylockes Serendipity !

  • Keely Smith always deadpanned, like the guy said, it's their shtick. Louis & his band were THE group that all the other big-timers made sure to see, meaning Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, all of them went to Louis' shows.

  • Keely always looked like that...it was part of their schtick.

  • those are some fantastic tits

  • Was heisst gigolo? What is a gigolo?

  • @saebelzahn1 A man who sponges off of a rich woman willing to pay for his company, and, er, "services".

  • @saebelzahn1 Male escort for hire or male prostitute.

  • keely kinda looks pissed

  • Where are the damn brass solos?

  • In the days of "Night Clubs" Louis and company were the tops.

  • I'm just a gigolo, always on the go!

  • Is it just me or is that girl look miserable :U

    Meh, still a good performance

  • love prima!

  • ein traum wird wahr...^^

  • lol this is so awesome! the dancing band is so much fun! Performances should be more like this again! It has talent and great sound and fun all together!

  • It's unbelievable how that guy just couldn't stay still for a second. And how did Keely Smith manage to stay calm around him, at least as long as they were married?

  • 0:29

  • Ohhhhhh grossssssssooooooooooooooooo

  • 31 people couldn't become gigolos

  • Lou Bega sings the best version!

  • TRINACRIA E LOUIS PRIMA PER SEMPRE !

    ♥♥♥♥♥

    Nobody, nobody, NUDDU, NUDDU ! ♫♪♫

  • Is i just me or does Keeley ALWAYS look like she's about three seconds from cutting the hell outta Louis?! I mean always!

  • I thought David Lee Roth wrote that....I'm kidding

  • as a funny thing, when i searched for this video I typed something related and so I got to watch a short very funny movie about love with a gigolo :))

    (if you wanna see it give it a search for "UrbanLove Gabriel Sandu"", and it has to be the first on the search list)

  • Keely : no Silicone !

  • OMG i just noticed Louis Primo looks like Hugo Chavez. Please tell me i'm not the only one to see that

  • @jaroncreed

    Yes, you are right.

    But Chavez is loved by American Liberals and is their new hero who replaces Castro, Ho Chi Minh, and Che.

    And Primo is a Real American, unlike the Liberal traitors of today. He came from an immigrant Italian family, and they believed in hard work and respect, even though Louis got into trouble as a kid. That is the opposite of American Left-wingers who want to destroy the work ethic of today's immigrants, trying to make them little Liberal Socialists

  • @yukiomishima246 i was just talking about the way he looks. I have no idea how Prima acted in life

  • @yukiomishima246 liberal traitors?like pseudocons who send kids off to die for israel are better? both repubs and dems are traitors!!! controlled by zionists bent on destroying the US. dont get fooled into believing its just the left thats bad. the GOp & dems are tarred with the same brush my friend. all bolsheviks were jewish and funded by new york dems. castro by the left... iraqi regime? funded by the republicans. pinochet? by the GOP as well. BOTH PARTIES ARE EVIL LIARS.learn ur history

  • @jaroncreed i thought ths same thing too ...wow

  • @newjerseydev yea lol!

  • who's that girl with the short hair on the far left? She looks so familiar but I can't put my finger on it...

  • @jaroncreed Gia Maione...i think. lol im pretty sure

  • @StoneColdNipple I seen her in a movie with Robert Mitchum called Thunder road or something close to that. If that is not her it looks very similar to her

  • @jaroncreed Keely Smith, Louis' wife. Part Cherokee, if memory serves me correctly

  • How could you be that unhappy while singing this song?

  • I love how Keely Smith always looks perturbed! LOL

  • I like how David Lee Roth covers this song, he gives it a lot of enthusiasm, and joy, the video is also pretty cool too.

  • her boobs are massive

  • If I remember it helped the appreciation of the performance immensely

    if you arranged to be STONED when listening to Louis Prima. It was

    just that sort of CRAZY SH*T.

  • He's got quite a bit of swing in his step for an old timer.

  • love the way husband wife wipe their noses after singing in close harmony!

  • Louis Prima was a one of a kind bandleader with a one of a kind band. They were all in the act and did their parts well. I don't see show biz schmaltz like I see in Prima's contemporaries. These lounge revivalists may not add anything new. It takes coming up like the originals did to do that. At least they call attention to what Prima and his generation did. Love how Keely looks like the rational, mature half, but she's still part of the act.

  • When I was a boy I listen to Dave Lee Roth version of "Just a gigolo" . And so I discover the amazing Luis Prima! So cool and funny.

  • Love this! Louis Prima was awesome! ~ He always cracks me up!

  • brilliant loved the dancing by the band cracked me up

  • They just don't make entertainers like Louis Prima any more. He was the Best!

  • now i have to drink some meister brau :)

  • who knows where I can find the full version of this? Audio or video doesn't matter. I like this version better than the record version

  • @Ebag1990 Capitol Collectors Series: Louis Prima. It should be available at Amazon. I found it on Amazon Japan. 1 disc, 20 tracks including this full version presumably in the studio.

  • cant blame the nose wipe

  • ain't gonna be no next time

  • i just broke up with the girlfriend and am listening to this to celebrate. Now I can party again.

  • @elrenato82 Hell yes.

  • @elrenato82 Amen!

  • @elrenato82 One of the most liberating feelings known to man. But just wait till you get roped in all over again.
