[hardcorepublican]

[TheCessnaDriver]

[theabridgekid]

BEST ALLEGORY EVER FOR THE HISTORY OF IMMIGRATION IN AMERICA

[kakashidemon321]

@theabridgekid Analogy?

[NiveusMoran]

Anyone ever notice how Irish ballads and songs are always so very sad? Gotta go with Chesterton here... "The Irish are a men that God made mad. Their wars are merry, their songs are sad." (Paraphrased.)

[lnxbstrd]

I came here cuz of 9GaG :D

[VGAfanatic]

Uh, isn't it kind of insulting to the memory of their loved ones, how easily they let go when they realize where they're going is supposed to be paradise? I mean, you don't see people going around saying "Osama's dead, all the 9/11 victims and those who gave their lives for the war can rest in peace. Let's Party!" I think someone like that would be backhanded the second he even thought of saying that.

[taurusgirl65]

@VGAfanatic I see where you're going with this. I'll point out that the song's showing how they've suffered such losses that they've one thing that keeps them going through the tough times like we all are doing now - hope. The mice have hope for a better life then the one they have known growing up, having a dream of a life free from the bad. We each have our own hope of overcoming so much, having a dream, living from the bad. And without good and bad how would anyone be able to tell them apart?

[VGAfanatic]

@taurusgirl65 It is always important to have hope. And, though somewhat unrelated, hope is made come true when a helping hand comes to their aid. Like America to foreign immigrants for a promised land and one of opportunity, or the millions in donations we've given to the countries and people who've needed help; the children in Africa who yearned for food and education, Japan in the time of their massive disaster, and even the long battle against breast cancer. Hope and Help go hand in hand.

[taurusgirl65]

@VGAfanatic You are right. And healing too. No matter what happens in life we all need to have hope, help others and ourselves and learn how to heal. Just like Danny Kaye says in one of the songs from Here Comes Peter Cottontail - in the puzzle of life, hope is there listen close and you will find it.

[taurusgirl65]

@VGAfanatic And I think in a way they ARE celebrating the memory of those they love with each other just like some people who celebrate a person's life on their birthdays and when they die. Every person does things to remember loved ones in their own tradition or custom.

[VGAfanatic]

@taurusgirl65 That's true. I mean, my family talks about my ancestors with my grandparents very frequently, and the funeral of one of my dad's closest friends was just last year. They were sad that he was gone, but we remembered the good times and got a few laughs out of nostalgic stories. Same with my great grandmother. There were less tears shed because she lived to be 101, and we were glad to have her company all those years. We had more laughs there, because we remember the joy we shared.

[taurusgirl65]

@VGAfanatic I'm glad you got to know your grandmother and God bless her for living a long and healthy life. And God bless your father's friend. I will say prayers for you, your family and for your grandmother and father's friend.

[MusicSlave316]

I always wanna dance when I hear this

[DarkheroNateX]

as a kid, i never really understood the lyrics...i just thought it was a catchy song...dam what kind of childhood did i have?

[schasta09]

I just realized what fifels father said. "when I heard him screamin I fainted dead away, and I woke up an orphan..." Oh my god! That is.... really sad. o_O

[FullMetalCleric]

The Irish verse was the one that made you pause with sympathy. God bless the Irish!

[TheKingOfBladesM80]

The mouse telling his story at 1:49 actually made me cry, when the main verse came on after it I was like "WTF?" Got me all mushy for nothing :p

[BlueParatroopa]

That image of a tail being the only thing left of a mouse really stuck with me as a kid...shivers...

[ember1k]

They're going to bw so disapointed when they get to america...

[firereed4]

I just can't help but think of Tails when I hear the Irish mouse.

[MusicSlave316]

@firereed4 I'm sorry but tails as in Sonic's orange sidekick or something else?

[firereed4]

@MusicSlave316 Yes.

[firereed4]

@MusicSlave316 I meant Sonic's Orange Sidekick. And the Russian one is Knuckles. And the Italian one is Shadow.

[pokethunder]

1:49 is the best

[jamesnoble07]

Italian Mouse is Funny

[DavMawey]

@jamesnoble07 01:00 "CHE COSA TERRIBILE, CHE ESISTE NELLA PATRIA MIA!!" XDD

[ebayboy1234]

I love this song. I recently went to Universal and they have a Fivel play area for little kids. I had to fight myself to not go and play in it, but I did sing this song the entire time I was there.

[mysteria1243]

I always liked the Irish mouse.

[kitkatkittykat5000]

these mice are idiots.thats why i have rats!

[Pinesal]

If only this song were true it would solve all of America's problems,

[maniac989]

whatever happened to the footage videos of the songs? i saw them just a few months ago, but now they are gone.

[datalal624]

They just don't make animated films like this anymore. On the other hand, Don Bluth's vision was always a unique one---no one ever made films quite like his.

[michellerachelwatt]

We watched this in my high school socials class today. My teacher is awesome.

[Saintnick90]

Obviously, none of these mice have ever been on the Internet.

[Gamehero18]

@Saintnick90 Internet didnt exist.

[Saintnick90]

@Gamehero18 As McBain would say, 'That's the joke."

[simpsonman956]

This song has got to have the catchiest chorus ever!

[theluckynames]

OH THE NOSTALGIA



[hamletisastud]

is it just me or does the irish mouse have a really hot voice?

[Eyeglompyou]

"Now Mr. There Are No WHAT In America? HMM??" "He-...Cats. Hehe." XD

[Braddurs]

My brother once dared me to play this full blast out of my stereo. He could hear it at the end of our street. Epic :D

[GPischke]

You poor damn fools.

[TheAltair4]

Hilarious song. I remember the entire audience cracking up during this scene when i saw it in theaters as a kid.

[Johnlindsey289]

Classic song, this was a crowdpleaser and very original. No cats in America? Cats are fuckin' everywhere you moron mice.

[ETownPunx]

Why would an Irish mouse be on a boat that departed from Hamburg, Germany?

Ireland isn't even on the main European continent. He's at least have to depart from Bristol, U.K.

[ETownPunx]

@ETownPunx Granted, it's a cartoon. But still.

[AlanJaamal]

The American Dream

[figureskater2004]

When I was a kid and heard this song I was like ''umm well I dont know what they are thinking cause...I have 3 cats!''

[Tyronor]

Ironic! I like the Sicilian mouse's part.

[Stup1dLikeAF0x]

"America is full of so much opportunity!" Get there. "Oh shit! I live in a slum thats worse than the old country."

[Reiki101]

=D yayyyy

[quiktymevideo]

This movie may have been depressing, but I'm more depressed that I never got to see it as a kid.

[ambulancecore]

'Neath the heatheeeeeerrr

is where it tirra-lirraaaaa

liiiiiii~iiiiiiiii~iiiiiieees.­..

[Tyronor]

@ambulancecore That part is too sad even for an animated film. Wow! Great job Spielberg and Bluth.

[racebest00]

....BUT!

[Eyeglompyou]

Silly song...hehe =)

[drrraug]

I like the Irish mouse's part the most. Now as I compare to other types of music, I realize again how much I love Celtic music! Ofc the whole song is great, best of the whole movie! Bluth ftw!

[solidsnakemanful]

Omg @ 1:47 i could not stop rewinding this part b/cuz it was so funny to me

[Seanmorseable]

I love that song. I always wonder if An American Tail on broadway, I be papa

[Seanmorseable]

I love that song

[sailorscoutpet]

How sad the songs were, but it's good that the cats are not in America.

[Feonalilly]

damn this song is gay. i really liked it as a kid though

[irethamandil]

@Feonalilly I'm guessing you have yet to see the movie? :/

[Feonalilly]

@irethamandil

"i really liked it as a kid though"

i've owned 2 of the American Tail movies as a child

[irethamandil]

@Feonalilly Whoops! Sorry, meant to reply to "sailorscoutpet"

@sailorscoutpet See above, lol

[schasta09]

this song is so frickin sad for no reason... ugh idk what to do with it

[Isaia]

lol Don Bluth hates cats.

[Charade31596]

Even as a kid, I always thought: who the heck told them that? They've been FOOLED!

[Aldremaeck]

@Charade31596 Probably by cat propaganda

[Fathom315]

@Charade31596 Holy crap! My old account!

[UltimateThanos]

@Charade31596 The same sadistic asshole who told Linus about the "Great Pumpkin".

[lvsayles]

This is such a good song! Well thought out with an attention to detail!!!

[HouseDoormat]

Thanks for this, I keep getting it stuck in my head

[levanyzzuf]

The early part of the film was almost unbearably sad when I was a kid...this material was a little too intense.

[Hewylewis]

Russia was good, Italy was funny, Ireland was...sad.

[Mirani2]

@Hewylewis I know, I always remember that one being the sad, epic one! All deep and spiritual!

[Bigsquid91]

@Hewylewis Ireland has the saddest history.

[prismflash]

@Hewylewis In Soviet Russia, the streets make cheese out of you

[Wappaloochie]

Awesomeness... :)

[Hobbitteen]

ooh...poor dylan TT-TT he lost his turra-lurra...and its just sad...TT-TT...
