The Ink Spots - If I Didn't Care

[SonnyJamesJefferson]

In an earlier script of Beetlejuice, this was the song that everyone was supposed to be singing around the dinner table instead of The Banana Boat song.

[RCAradio]

@SonnyJamesJefferson

Really I have no idea going put this song early, but glad this Day-o song better. Don't you think?

[SonnyJamesJefferson]

@RCAradio Yeah, I think Day-O worked better.

[doctorwholittle]

I'd like to 'like' this, but there're no 'like' icons.

Awesome stuff, and love the fact that this is on vinyl!

[sk8teh14]

Shawshank Redemption

[EdvinErikssonMovies]

shawshank redemtion

[chillaxer1993]

oh wow listen to that crackle

[TheFalloutExperience]

Fallout and Bioshock. All I need. Also, I loved this song since I heard in The Shawshank Redemption.

[FelipeSFEA]

How in the heck is possible for people to Dislike this?! They should waste theyr time somewhere else >.> Damn I like analog audio! xD

[Amobb481]

Was orginally used in "Blade Runner" when Harrison Ford has just killed Brion James, and buys the Tsing Tao from the lady at the kiosk. Was changed later to the song "One More Kiss Dear". Like this song better

[goseejim]

fantastic piece of music history...

[PennyRoyal369]

Mmmmmm... sounds creamy. | )

[calstretch]

Love this song. 

[1boratfan]

Would rather listen to this 70-year-old song than to any song that begins with these words: WAKE UP IN THE MORNING FEELING LIKE P DIDDY.

[Ryan57596]

Vinyl ftw!

[hayesy1209]

[ADrunkPanda60]

[Nicronon]

This was one of my grandfather's favorite songs and will always remind me of him. Thanks for posting.

[MADMANx511]

I love this song in the intro to The Shawshank Redemption.

[ghitaciprian]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[dogshit71]

FRED SANFORD!!!

[oSEIDOSHIo]

Good onya Bioshock, I didn't realise this music existed (cringe...) until I played the game . Thanks for uploading

[davic14]

makes you just want to close your eyes and relax

[PyramidHead2000]

ah classics are so fascinating, my mum got me onto the Ink Spots from my Uncle who liked them :D Great goldie oldies

[RCAradio]

Thank You Utube for watching this video, best song from the era I alway wish live in the past. I do feel same way as you.

[isagagenius]

LOL i just find it funny when the tonarm hits the record XD its like sayin. Hey dude! whatcha doin up there? get down and lemme put the needle on u =)

[anniespal]

thank you

[Johnnybomb1]

First heard this in The Shawshank redmption years ago.

[xanapax]

@Johnnybomb1 think it was the blade runner trailer i first heard this.

[unclewalt56]

I can never listen to this song without thinking of good old Fred G. Sanford crooning it with his right hand fluttering the wonderful melody ...!

[JarheadPatriot0311]

@unclewalt56 Old Fred did a mean Ink Spots imitation whenever he'd drink Ripple with Grady and Bubba!.

[lyoko288]

i love this song, in the scene in bioshock the song makes the scene creepy

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Sanford and Son

[tk9482]

I love this music...reminds me a little of a song from the Balde Runner soundtrack.

[FoxPlant2006]

It's sad people will only listen to this sort of song if you put it in a video game. Classics don't age.

[cherrypieman1]

yeah man you're right

[eBraulick]

@FoxPlant2006 well its kinda hard. our parents never listened to this music, so we were never exposed to it. now my dad, introduced me to 60, 70, 80's rock and that's all I listen too. So how else are we even suppose to find out about this music. The only exposure we get is if you put it in a videogame. =D

[guitarexpert11]

@FoxPlant2006 it is sad people cant talk about amazing musik anymore im 15 and didnt get off a videogame i looked up ruth etting from a conversation with this guy at a bus wich led to ink spots

[davic14]

i dont like how people only listen to these songs because of videos games, oh wellll at least there being listend to and arnt being forgotten :b

[bloodawn5]

@davic14 Everyone has a different way to get into this stuff.

[davic14]

@bloodawn5 yeah, i suppose i could have worded it better, it bothers me because they only listen to the songs they heard, and they ignore the others

[bloodawn5]

@davic14 Yeah I know I try to hear the others, they sound good

[frank6661323]

@davic14 Im of a younge age and the video game just enlightened me to this music, this music iss the only music i listen to and i love it.

[davic14]

@frank6661323 haha you are the exception i suppose

[jbearden]

the fred g. sanford groove

[conn0412]

beautiful song and a beautiful game

end of story

[tyhy1]

nice

[OriginalGagBonkers]

This song makes me wish people were not such liars when it comes to romance.

[LosAngeleno1959]

My Dad always recalled being a teenager with a big crush on a girl up the street from his childhood home in the 40's and how this song was "their" song and played at the teenage dances back then. His whole neighborhood is gone now and Dodger stadiun sits on top of it.

[wafers35]

@LosAngeleno1959 corperate bastards

[oct3174]

Ahhh..simpler times..thanks for uploading this..love it!

[funzworth]

Personaly, I got to ear that one in "The Shawshank Redemption", right at the begining of the movie. Lovely song, and a great classic, thanks for sharing it!

[kagomegirl08]

I loved Bioshock one and two... great game, loved the music on it ^3^

[geeko55]

Actually, I played Fallout 3 before I even touched Bioshock, so for me, that's how it worked. ^_^

[micsigmac]

I recently picked up this original 78 in a big set with others at an estate sale...awesome classics!

I've read that Don Purcivell cut "One More Kiss, Dear" for the Blade Runner soundtrack directly from this song because they were'n't given rights to use it in the movie.

[PalaceOfExile]

FUCK YEAH!!!!!! *HEADBANGS*

[mistereggsalad]

these guys keep talkin about the vidya games but i remember this song from the shawshank redemption

[balboa93]

best song ever

[dfb1963]

i got a boner : >  Bioshock >.>

[geeko55]

It's like going back in time.. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that point in time, it's awkward to feel nostalgia for a time period I wasn't around for. Gotta give thanks to Fallout for turning me to this music, and thanks to games like Bioshock for keeping that love strong.

[IRFUNNYMAN]

It's weird you say Bioshock kept the "love strong" when Bioshock came out before Fallout 3

[iambecomedeath7]

Fallout was doing the whole retro-future thing long before BioShock came around.

[ikonn21]

@IRFUNNYMAN no there was still fallout 1 and 2 bioshock came out before fallout 3 but not the others

[AllJustAJokeToMe]

@geeko55 I know! When I try to tell people that I miss older time periods I wasn't part of, they just look at me funny.

[ikonn21]

@geeko55 same for i would love to go back to the 40s and live just to end of the 90s

[cherrypieman1]

yeah i know what you mean man

[cherrypieman1]

yeah dude i totally know what you mean man

[jejesus]

For a strange reason, I listen this song and I think about J.D. Salinger. Thanks for sharing!

[mybuttlookslikeurfac]

this song was made in 1936 i think

[DGA2000]

Great classic! Thank you for posting it...

[MegaRuudy]

it's also featured at the very beginning of one of the trailers for the movie called.... "The Strangers", Liv Tyler, Scott Speedman..... it was released the summer of 2008.

But man, did this song go well with Bioshock!!!!! :D my only favorite game!!!!

[R3DMAN451]

Bioshock 2 ALL THE WEEZER!

[Nephryel]

By the by, one of the main characters from "Ms. Pettigrew Lives for a Day" this is the song that she sings in her lounge. It's a rather sweet scene as well.

[Masakione]

Funny buy all the songs of Inkspots start amlost the same xD

But they're still awesome :)

[masterskorpz]

I was thinking that but maybe it were they're trademark intro sound so it were known to be them

[balboa93]

just a good chill song

[PalaceOfExile]

Thank you for posting this, just what I was looking for.

[TheKillerCliche]

Reminds me of Bioshock, and the begining of Shawshank Redemption.

[ALEXGACK]

hahaha ya exactly what i thought

[BoneThugsEternal]

everytime i hear this song it reminds me of Fred Sanford from Sanford & Son. lol

[Snoopt33]

i was thinking the same thing lol

[estradak22]

this is good stuff.

[blackblackgrey]

thats a weirddd Vinyl player....

[saxondog2001]

My folks had this record. I just love it.

There's something about it that has a post-WWII cocktail lounge sound to it.

Thanks,

[ALEXGACK]

is it post ww2?

[saxondog2001]

@ALEXGACK

My mistake.  It was released in 1939.

[ZaphodUk1]

great sound :) much nicer than cd

[paulloughlin12]

Keep looking in the junk shops Monk, there are still a lot of Ink Spot records around. They must have recorded millions of records over the years

[Muffincakeswithsugar]

cool record player

[MonkEjoey]

damn id kill for an ink spots record nice record player by the way

[djvardar]

Also featured on the Shawshank Redemption soundtrack.

Andy listens to this in his car, drunk and loading a gun - flashback in the beginning discussing the crime in court.

[disebut]

I might not have seen all the responses, but I think the disc in the video will be a shellac one and not vinyl. Vinyl was used for some 78's in the 50's and 60's as they were being phased out, but it was mostly used for 33 rpm LP's. Great song though and wonderful singing.

[snaphappy7530]

whow the achtully vinal!

[Smeggers08]

2 life sentences...One for each your vctims.

Guess what?

[LordOblivion59]

Happy New Year 1959 ! hahaha

[0WN4GE09]

Its probably the most amazing game ever

[OldMrMemories]

I know I sound like an old coot, but what is Bioshock?. I'm 50 so don't make fun of me for not knowing.

[rainofdeath14]

its a creepy video game its really fun

[OldMrMemories]

Thank you

[OldMrMemories]

It's actually called "8-Track" lol

[mr1940s]

Bisoshock Is a game set in 1962 in which you play a survivor of a plane crash who finds a underater city inRuin

[TAMUcadet]

got this from Wiki-BioShock is a first-person shooter video game, developed by 2K Boston/2K Australia:Set in an alternate history 1960, the game places the player in the role of a plane crash survivor named Jack, who must explore the underwater city of Rapture, and survive attacks by the mutated beings and mechanical drones that populate it.

[amaardrup]

OMG! everytime i hear this song i think of that crazy ass spider splicer from bioshock.

[marko5280]

Shawshank!!!

[OnlyFearOfDeath]

i heard this from the wonder years.

[0WN4GE09]

What a song if i never played games like bioshock or fallout 3 i would of never got into this music

[jodaprof]

same here man, i now have a new genre of music to enjoy thanks to Bio Shock

[ajbmxer83]

me 2

[nikola799283]

@0WN4GE09 and mafia too 

[Marco3st944]

bioshock music

[deeZNuTZYouSUcK451]

Bioshock FTW!

[mylifemyrules101]

this song makes me smile

[dadawg911]

Catchy.

[eric601d]

My man Fred G. Sanford and the G is for go figure. First heard Fred imatating this on his show and for darn good reasons. This is sweet. Now could this also be the first RAP on a song recorded back in those days.

[sharkeylad100]

This is the music i would take to the grave with me.

[MYGeR94]

The true, original, nice once ! Beautiful !

[JJDarklink]

my god. i am jumping up and down.

i love it. so much.

[bahamuttamer597]

music like this is amazing and true

[Mirah2437]

they played this in the beginning of The Shawshank Redemption. Such a good movie, loved the song choice in the beginning. : )

[pretTilittlepoison]

I know, it was a great song choice. I'm glad that I found it in such a perfect movie.

[MrUnidyne]

This song was to have been in the film "Blade Runner", but was replaced due to licensing problems. The substitute was Vangelis and Don Percival's "One More Kiss, Dear", which was written for the film.

[igadevivas]

loves tis music makes me remeber the old times. :D great times and that i'm now 16 years old

[pretTilittlepoison]

haha I know what you mean, I'm 18 and I am so happy to know this music. ;P

[chilledog222]

same here. I'm only 15 and I know for sure that God put me in the wrong time. I should have been born back then with that music, that mindset, that simplicity. This music is one of the only things that keeps me going sometimes when it gets to be a little much.

[thehatecrew]

anyone know which Vinyl this is exactly? Catalog Number? I really need to pick this one up.

[jsmith2470]

Sorry, just to be clear, is this just the original single, or is this a vinyl pressed just for a bioshock promotion?

[GavriloPrincipCR]

this is soooo nice....

[PervisJohnson]

Cool

[Dubhlais]

LOVE the Ink spots, and this song especially, greatest vocal group ever. Bar none!

[DoradoGumpy]

It doesn't get any better than this om 78's. Bill Kenny was great. Love it.

[halfdude]

That's so crazy, a whole big record like that for one single song... XD

[ITSAJACKAL1111]

I think it's got a whole album of songs on there.. I might be mistaken though :s

[halfdude]

Watch the whole thing, the whole side of that album is just that song.

[MrUnidyne]

That's an old 78 RPM record. They were usually 10 inches, but some were12. When LP's were invented, it was as big a sensation as CDs would become.

[marcusunlimited]

Thanks, loved this and this singers placement was always so cool, because he liked to set it right on the light mid (expect for those high false parts-which were beautifully executed) BTW, that record player is Sweet!:)

[YurisDisciple]

My dad has an old record player and a shit load of records from like the 30's. I only like listening to it when it's daytime because when he plays it at night it scares the shit out of me.

[Nyuuasura]

I agree on that. Record players are a real hit or miss when playing them at night time. You either can relax and practically fall asleep, or pee yourself in complete and utter fear/excitement.

[78Shellac]

I take it you are speaking form experience then? Have you pissed yourself in "utter fear" listening to a record player? If you have, I suggest you see a doctor. Quick.

[zungg]

If you didn't care... then, it's alright...

[snakainy]

Oh man! You are genius.I think the quality will much better

[ITSAJACKAL1111]

We all accidentally a word sometimes..

[d3rm4us]

wunderschön

[poonjoo]

this would've been great in fallout 3

[Max16032]

In my opinion, all songs that appear in Bioshock could also be in Fallout 3

[seopeter22]

sweet, a record player!

[PaoloSigma6]

This song you can hear in a italian film called "Il ritorno di Cagliostro".

Bye!

[zungg]

In a recent film called "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day", has a remake..

[Max16032]

The first song of the Ink Spots that you hear in Bioshock...Great!

[yanikeke]

MOTOWN was not around yet, when the ink spots recorded this/existed. although this is not the original version with the original singer from the ink spots

[Radicals888]

You may be mistaken. I believe that this is the original with Bill Kenny doing that great Irish tenor lead

[mcrumpsf]

Early doo-wop

[linkdude37]

"And round... and round.. Like my heart does..." This Type of music should be made more!

[cskirby1972]

I don't know guys. I think "Womanizer" is comparable with this! In all seriousness, I really do hope that the music business goes bust for ruining music. This is the way music should be.

[MROSEN62]

But would Bill Kenny look as good as Britney lying nude on a table?

[cskirby1972]

HA! HA! HA! I think he sounds as good as she looks. And do you have pics of her on said table? If so, SHARE!

[MROSEN62]

Check the video for "Womanizer". Ole Bill couldn't have pulled it off in quite the same way.

[pyrosplodeyflames]

What music genre is this from?

[PS360Gaming]

I think its called easy listening, but not too sure

[blackdogleg]

motown?

[blackdogleg]

no sorry, don't know what I was thinking, could be a ragtime song

[64098]

Great song, and you're playing it on Magnavox's top of the line portable that year. The music teacher in junior high had a white one like that. I wish I could have grabbed it at one of the school system sales. And I have never seen one in a thrift shop.

[Zeratul723]

God DAMN now that is music...

[bioshockprincess]

This is one of my favourite songs. :)

[BrooklynMouse]

Early doo-wop classic. The song was covered by the Moments.

[damusician]

i have that magnavox just like that, but mines don't have the radio like most models do. i love speaker design on those.
