[emsguybob]

wrong on soooo many levels.....but thanks for posting

[whynot0224]

I finally caught Annie Get Your Gun on TV a few days ago just when this song was on. I felt so uncomfortable watching it.

[creegal]

It is not only RACIST...It's typical stereotypical behaviour presented as "Indian"...but culled from the "Hollywood Indian" bullshite!

[middymaid]

:¬)

[middymaid]

plz dont say its racist becouse i have to sing this solo for a panto and i dont wanna sing this if its racist

[middymaid]

its not that racist 

[Jagged85]

Ironically, Cliff Richard really is an Indian... well, 1/4 Indian... but the other kind of Indian (i.e. the ones in Asia).

[jonnylvsmary]

Regardless of the insensitive treatment of Indians - those male dancers at the beginning of the scene are wearing some incredibly risque' outfits for televison is 1968! lol! 

[CliffRFan]

How: two weeks' rehearsal HAHAHAH this was awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Especially cool as I'm actually living on a native indian reserve now...!

[itkapatanka]

wow! did they do all this with no one watching?

Anyone else think this is a little bit ...er camp?

[lmrickford]

I can't believe this video has been posted in earnest for people's viewing enjoyment. I was looking for a performance of this song to show a friend the sickening stereotypes and racist subject matter that pervaded (still pervades) so much American cinema. There was never any excuse for this type of nonsense, but at least it used to be commonly accepted. That people still watch and enjoy such spectacles today, when we all ought to know better, is despicable.

[dorisdayno1]

@lmrickford Eh, excuse me - this is not one bit racist , it is just a song from years ago and appeared in annie get your gun. By the way this is not american cinema is a British show. Cliff Richard is british, was actually born in India & is part indian. Many people sing this song so does that make loads of people racist?? I'll post whatever i like, if you don't like something don't watch it, OK. You are pathetic for making such a comment!

[lmrickford]

@dorisdayno1 "this is not one bit racist, it is just a song from years ago." Brilliant point. I stand corrected. Clearly the further back in history we go, the less racism there is. Or perhaps your point is that in the 1960s, it was totally fine to lampoon Native American culture in a lurid, offensive manner. That's probably what you mean. I'm sorry for misunderstanding.

[middymaid]

@lmrickford this is not rasist you sing aboyt wherever your from/ he is from india( other india but who cares) A ENGLISH PERSON MIGHT SING A SONG ABOUT AMERICA BUT IS THAT RASIST? the song is about an indian singing about being indian they wouldnt put a rasist song in a musical would they O.M.G. do you sing about whetre your from or is it too \\\\rasist////// soz to mean but its true this aint rasist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lmrickford]

@dorisdayno1 I forgot to respond to your other excellent point, "Many people sing this song so does that make loads of people racist?" Yes.

[dorisdayno1]

@lmrickford So if people sing about being a scotsman, being a cowboy, being whatever that is racist.. what is your infatuation with red indians, is there simply nothing else for you to worry about... the song is about someone who is a indian saying that they are indian - simple as that, get over it! hundreds of people sing it Betty Hutton, Doris Day the list goes on. If you asked 10 million people do you think this song is racist only 1 person would reply yes & that's You!

end of story!

[lmrickford]

@dorisdayno1 "What is your infatuation with red indians," I guess that just about sums it up, doesn't it?

[dorisdayno1]

@lmrickford Have you ever watched westerns or a cowboy & indian film they're cowboys they're indians...I'm scottish, you're american! I like westerns i like cowboys i like red indians! you're sad, goodbye - don't write back!

[omfgilyx0x]

@dorisdayno1 actually the song is pretty racist, it's saying that anyone can be an indian if they have all that stuff they're naming in the song. Also look how dumb they make natives seem. you're just too ignorant to see it.

[iwasanangryyoungman]

@dorisdayno1 I think there's a reason why Brits tend to refer to Native Americans as "Red Indians" because of the huge Indian (as in from the Subcontinent) community over there.

[susanhg1]

Hey, right around 1:20, Cliff sounds a lot like Cary Grant! Seriously. :)

[susanhg1]

The only thing that would have made this video perfect is if Cliff had worn the Indian outfit too.  :) :) :) I just picture him in the Tarzan outfit instead. LOL

[22Marsha221]

Another Great Video. Have never seen him as an Indian. Looks Great. Thanks again. M

[dorisdayno1]

Thanks, doris sing this song too!

[cliffBwithme]

I think I saw that clip of Cliff as Tarzan, with a body to die for!

Sheri, you naughty girl!

[alittlenluv]

@cliffBwithme Yep, that would be the clip..."to die for"? haha... It nearly killed me!!! They really should put warning lables on some of his vids :o))

[alittlenluv]

And to think Cliff, used to get upset when the other kids called him an indian and asked where his teepee was! Hahaha :o))

[dorisdayno1]

@alittlenluv HaHa, he was so cute when he was at school, definetely a handsome wee boy and he grew up to be gorgeous too. I said to my nieces a while ago when i shoed them pictures of cliff when he was a wee boy, i said "i bet you would have loved to have him in your class at school" and they all said "mm yes".

[alittlenluv]

@dorisdayno1 Yes, he was a beautiful child, and he grew to be sush a handsome man. If he had been in my class at school, I would not have learned anything. ;-)

[dorisdayno1]

@alittlenluv me neither, but then i never really got taught much at school anyway.

[alittlenluv]

@dorisdayno1 I have always had an eye for cute boys with dark hair and eyes. I used to get in trouble in kindergarten for kissing a little boy named Ricky. He resembled Cliff except his hair had more curl to it. I learned a lot in school, not the least of which was, don't get caught kissing the boys! LOL

[dorisdayno1]

@alittlenluv Haha.....

[cazziekins]

Like all little boys you might have known he would end up playing cowboys and indians at some point,now where did I put that tomahawk......

[cliffBwithme]

Hilarious! But Cliff should have changed into an Indian attire, too!

[dorisdayno1]

@cliffBwithme Thanks, i really tried for you but because my finders keepers DVD is a copy it is not going to work, oh i'm really annoyed, i really wanted to put it on youtube for you and others to see - i'm really sorry. Ps cliff would look great in any outfit!

[alittlenluv]

@cliffBwithme Thank goodness he didn't, my heart could not have taken that! But, he made up for the lack of indian attire, by dressing as Tarzan later in this show! WOWOWOWOW!!!

[cazziekins]

I am not sure I will cope seeing him tied to a totem pole on my present medication lololol ;o)))))

[alittlenluv]

@cazziekins Oh really?? Wanna borrow some of mine...I checked the bottle and it shows no totem pole restrictions (that is unless the totem pole is being driven).

[cazziekins]

Mine just says not to drive or operate machinery....the mind boggles with what I could get up to with a fork lift!!!!!!

[alittlenluv]

@cazziekins I'm sure :o)))!

[dorisdayno1]

@cazziekins Caz, look what pathetic person wrote about this video!

[cazziekins]

Hi hun just unglued myself from the tennis ;o)))

I think this person is really Big Chief Sitting Bull on caffeine withdrawal ahaha cos no normal person could be offended by this innocent fun song!!!

[dorisdayno1]

@cazziekins Hiya, i know - he is just a fruit 'n' nut case. I hope you enjoyed the tennis, i watched a bit of it myself.

[momonne77]

Very funny !!! I love Cliff as an indian !! it is amazing !!!

Thank you so much Sam.

[dorisdayno1]

@momonne77 Yes and cliff really is an indian, not this kind of indian though - haha!Thankyou very much Simonne!

[momonne77]

@dorisdayno1 You made me the laughter, just before going to sleep, that's alright ! It is true that Cliff was born in the Indies, But they are not the same Indians. Hahahaha lolol

[Naza4TheKing]
