Just realized this is the only movie Bobby Rydell was ever in. Ann was a born pro......but watch Bobby in this song, as he can't figure out where to put his hands, esp w/ Ann Margret in front of him.....I fainted after my mid-term exams after cramming too!
5 years ago, I did this show at my old high school. Now I'm doing it again at a local theater. Watching this reminds me of how wonderful an experience it was back in the day and how great it is that I'm gonna be reliving that joy in another month.
Last week I saw a restored print of Bye Bye Birdie here in Los Angeles. Ann Margret and Bobby Rydell both spoke after the screening. What a treat! Ann was sweet and Bobby was funny. They are still good friends and you could still see the chemistry between them. Oh, and the high school footage was shot at my junior high in Hollywood – I actually watched them shoot the “We love You Conrad” number. Didn't know who Ann Margret was or I would have been really excited.
@robertmarc1 She's still beautiful and acting. She just won an Emmy for her guest spot on Law & Order SVU. She's 69, and it's crazy how good she looks, sans plastic surgery. What I would give to be Bobby Rydell in this clip!
I'm being considered for the lead in this play, but i'd never heard the songs. Fuck. I can't sing this. My voice is low and horrible. This is.... far too beautiful. FUck.
ugh, I could just never get tired of this video, I mean they were perfect for these roles for the film...the whole cast in general. Bobby Rydell is like the perfect Hugo ♥ and Ann-Margret she add a more teen who is becoming a woman, than a typical teenage obnoxious type, she was not like that at all... sigh i am super jealous.
They were wonderful . The beautiful Ann- Margret ! Lovely voice ! Bobby Rydell was also great . They still are wonderful and true class !! A fan forever . One of my favorite movies !!
@OldHollywoodJunkie7 I actually have the movie but I wanted to see it on the net but thanks anyways! I got the dvd a long time ago my mom got it for me cause she got me into the movie, I have no idea where she found it at though.
i'm friends with bobby's grandson, and he looks like his twin here. its so weird! but anyway, i love this version almost as much as i love matt doyle/allie trimm's :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
to tell all of you the truth, i only discovered this song from taxi cab confessions on HBO.. some cute fat chick was singing it cause her & her boyfriend were about to go fuck.. & i said.. "hey, that's kinda nice." so i looked it up and sure enough i found it. what a small world this is. :)
haha.. funny you say that about taxicab confessions.. cause i just watched it at 5 this morning and thought man i need to find out who originially sang it and bam.. it's on this movie i never watched.. so i'm now goin' to get it from Netflix.. if they have it that is.. but it is a small world after all.
This brings back many good memories. I first saw the original Broadway production at the Schubert Theatre in NYC during summer of '61. What a production. It made you laugh, cry and everything inbetween. We need more musicals like this.
i'm Kim in our schools production and this song is my biggest challenge. I cant even get through the first 7 seconds without cringing! I'm so worried ill blush on stage(and i only blush one color; beat red!) I remember watching the movie AFTER i got the part (something I'll never do again) and thinking "what have i gotten myself into?" plus, the song is in a higher range than i am comfortable in.
Wanna laugh out loud? At 0:38 change the word "Have" into "Snort."
When I was in high school and we put on this play, the lead actress kept doing that in rehearsals as a joke. The director was not amused and worried that she might accidentally slip up and do it during the actualy performance (which the parents would have certainly found even less amusing). He made her change the verb into "Drink" just to be on the safe side, as the word "Have" was a little too ambiguous.
Totally agree! and like other posters have wrote in today's day and age most people think that's if someone likes musicals than there weird or gay. Musicials (and timeless music in general) are healing agents for the heart and soul...The human voice, when it has that "gift," is the most wonderful instrament ever and yes, you may not be able to be able to "escape into your favorite musical forever"...you have "come out of the clouds" eventually so to speak, but you CAN carry songs in your heart
I always loved Bobby Rydell. Not only was he handsome. he could actually sing and act.. I read that the great comic Red Skelton wanted Bobby to be his protege. But then Bobby seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. Since we d[dn't have the internet or even that much entertainment coverage forty years ago. it took me a long time to find out that he hadn't been comfortable in Hollywood, and went back home to Philadelphia. How smart to realize where he was happy.--arnie113
eek, i have to sing this in an audition for my school play next week. O.O i've got major stage fright too. but it should be fun once i get through the audition(:
I have only just discovered Bobby Rydell having watched this film - what a great singing voice - he could give Elvis a run for his money. Is that Janet Leigh's real singing voice? if it is the she should have sung more! I need a time machine to go back to 1963 (the years i was born) and just live it! Ann-Margret's such a talented woman - it's nice to see all these performers enjoying long careers.
so so so so cute :) i'm trying to find the dvd of my school play when we performed BYE BYE BIRDIE in 8th grade[6 years ago]. good times <3. the girl who played her at my school was just as good :)
I loved this film when I saw it nearly 50 years ago----funny as heck then. Don't know how if it's held up...and heard at the time that it was nice Bobby R got the part as he was known as a genuinely nice guy.
I'm happy to hear you say what a nice guy Bobby is. He was my favorite singer growing up. "Wild One" was my signature "cover." "One Boy" is one of my favorites.
Geez I wish I was around that decade. When Boys like girls n girls liked boys in that way. When life was so simple n guys were acturally allowed to go to a girls house like that. O I wonder if I could find my own Hugo.
I was lucky to be 14 when this film came out. . People respected each other, each other's property and privacy. We spoke to each other in person or by phone verbally. Nowadays everything is typed out in emails or textmessages. Very impersonal. Pregnancy was not the way to find love and affection. We were responsible for our own behavior, NOT blaming everyone else, God or the Government for what WE did wrong. It is tough being a teenager no matter what generation.
Happy Birthday MusicalMel1991. Glad you made it to 18. Teen years are so tough. Everything moves too fast, too much is expected of you etc. As a survivor of terrible teens all I can say is hang in there, patience, don't rush things, believe in yourself, trust yourself and accept responsibility for your behavior. No matter how terrible something seems now, give it two days-- it will feel better plus you will have a better understanding of what happened. Give yourself a break always.
Yes, you are so right. I love being in a relationship now, but I sometimes wish it didn't have so much technology in it. I wish things could be as simple and as sweet as they are in this movie.
@MusicalMel1991 I totally agree. Im not even allowed to have guys over. If it was that simple, and guys liked girls in that simple way, and didnt just want to get in their pants, it would be amazing. I would love to live then :]
If only Life really were so sweet and wholesome as that. At least they tried to make it so back then; now people spurn the chance. I have no idea why, but it sure makes me sad.
concen..Perhaps the fact that life can never and will never be like the movies makes said movies so special to us. I agree though,... sometimes, it would be nice to disappear into one's favorite movie forever.
It is a shame great musicals with good story lines aren't made nowadays. To bad the present generation is captured by violence, murder and gross behavior.
i know even when they tried to make hairspray a movie, nobody appreciated it! nobody like's musicals now. only if your "weird" or "gay" you like musicals. its upsetting.
All my friends at my school loves musicals. Of course, they all aspire to be actresses and singers. But still! I aspire to be a mnagka, but I ADORE musicals!
I'm in the current generation and though most are only interested in violence etc. there are a few of us who still love this type of movie. This is one of my favorite time periods and I will always wonder what it would be like to live this kind of life. I would love to.
I was in high school when this movie was shown in Manila. I tell you, it was really great and I feel very fortunate to be in my teens in the 60's. Great movies, great songs, great performers! And many Revivals gave a big push to the careers of many of the present performer of today.
Ann Margret and Bobby are such a cute couple. They should've appeared in other movies together. This is one my favorite scene in bye bye birdie, I also love the scene where Hugo (Bobby Rydell) punched Conrad Birdie so Kim can't kiss him, That scene was awesome.
Somebody posted the whole movie in you tube but they deleted it. :( . If anyone happens to have to have the whole movie posted, please tell me.

Yes, you are so right. I love being in a relationship now, but I sometimes wish it didn't have so much technology in it. I wish things could be as simple and as sweet as they are in this movie.

Star-- you can make it as simple as you wish it to be, by just doing it.
9aspengold5 2 years ago
Yeah, that's true too. :)

I wish you luck and happiness in whatever decision you make. Just remember you aren't alone. We have all been through most of it before. :)

Thanks again. And thanks to you, things have gotten better in my relationship. :)

@MusicalMel1991 I know exactly what you mean. I wish people were still kind of like that these days, so sweet and simple.

@MusicalMel1991 yeah, it would be weird if you do musical in real life.

@MusicalMel1991 I totally agree. Im not even allowed to have guys over. If it was that simple, and guys liked girls in that simple way, and didnt just want to get in their pants, it would be amazing. I would love to live then :]

Yeah but in the beginning her singing is so annoying!

Charming.
If only Life really were so sweet and wholesome as that. At least they tried to make it so back then; now people spurn the chance. I have no idea why, but it sure makes me sad.

concen..Perhaps the fact that life can never and will never be like the movies makes said movies so special to us. I agree though,... sometimes, it would be nice to disappear into one's favorite movie forever.

It is a shame great musicals with good story lines aren't made nowadays. To bad the present generation is captured by violence, murder and gross behavior.

i know even when they tried to make hairspray a movie, nobody appreciated it! nobody like's musicals now. only if your "weird" or "gay" you like musicals. its upsetting.

All my friends at my school loves musicals. Of course, they all aspire to be actresses and singers. But still! I aspire to be a mnagka, but I ADORE musicals!

I'm in the current generation and though most are only interested in violence etc. there are a few of us who still love this type of movie. This is one of my favorite time periods and I will always wonder what it would be like to live this kind of life. I would love to.

I was in high school when this movie was shown in Manila. I tell you, it was really great and I feel very fortunate to be in my teens in the 60's. Great movies, great songs, great performers! And many Revivals gave a big push to the careers of many of the present performer of today.

Ann Margret and Bobby are such a cute couple. They should've appeared in other movies together. This is one my favorite scene in bye bye birdie, I also love the scene where Hugo (Bobby Rydell) punched Conrad Birdie so Kim can't kiss him, That scene was awesome.
Somebody posted the whole movie in you tube but they deleted it. :( . If anyone happens to have to have the whole movie posted, please tell me.
