I was watching Sunday morning reruns of Mad Men on AMC and wanted to hear the full, uncut version of that theme song. In searching for in on YouTube I happened upon this gem and, my God, what a find it was. Bravo to each and every performer in front of the camera and to those behind the scenes; this is something so very special indeed.
Now, THAT is inspiration right there! This was done very professionally, and you can tell all the performers have a passion for what they're doing. Love it! - and subscribed :)
There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy And sad of eye But very wise Was he And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings This he said to me "The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return
As stupid as this may sound (and naive possibly to some), her smile @ 01:35 just makes me wanna redefine my generally negative outlook on life:-) Excellent rendition by a statuesque beauty.
@ThatGmoney i wouldn't have. don't get me wrong, Adele is classy as well but this track requires different kind of classy. For the feeling they're going for here, she (Alison) and her voice is more than appropriate.
She's not in billboards is she? Either way, her voice is strong but not strong enough for this piece. Again, that is my opinion. I wouldn't invest in her. She's pretty but it's best if she opted for acting and more of a collaborative act as oppose to a solo act. She can't hold strong on her own.
@ThatGmoney im getting a strange feeling im just being told off. why? again, im not trying to insult adele, i'd just like to register my disagreement, peacefully ofc.
I have to admit I came here expecting some slightly embarrassing fanboy-ish dubbing of a soundtrack ripped from the real Mad Men intro I could chuckle at.
I am happy to say I was disappointed, meaning that I was completely blown away by the professional and beautiful work (both aural and visual)! Keep up the great work. I'd love to see more, too bad you didn't post another video since this one... Still subscribing, and crossing my fingers.
Quite an amazing performance, I only regret my crappy laptop speakers make the awesome bassline almost inaudible. It isn't the recording, is it? I mean, the double bass should be really emphasized like in RJD2's piece...
Great job. I just looked at the Gayle King interview and came here. This is classic singing. You are amazing with a great talent. Keep reaching for the stars. I love your voice. You truly enjoy doing this and I love that. You sang with so much feeling. Reach for the stars. You will get there.
The opening chords from the Mad Man theme are sampled from Enoch Light's 1960s recording of "Autumn Leaves". Autumn Leaves was also covered by Nat King Cole.
Nice, pretty interesting how Nature Boy fits right into the Mad Men theme so well. Whenever I see these kinds of jazz club scenarios I always think of Jessica Rabbit but in this case she'd be singing "Why don't you do right, like some other mad men do."

I am a huge music fan of all types of music including jazz and big band and I must say, this is crap. Her images makes me cringe and puke. Likes shes trying to be some 50's goody goody housewife or something. gross. Can I pull those gloves off her and slap her with them? COME ON WOMAN, get with the times!
This is using music made for a TV show based in the 50s. Its 100% appropriate that she dresses for that era. The whole point is that its NOT from the current times...
@Naxos487 Well, that makes a bit of sense. I was thinking it was a modern remake. The fact that I feel like crap today probably doesnt help my attitude.

Wow! Allison's sounds and looks so beautiful I could happily watch her sing all day. I hope to hear much more from her soon. Maybe some more creative covers like this one.
Her real MASTERPIECE is "Allison - Hallelujah" Check it out.
She is Allison Williams, daughter of Brian Williams the TV news anchor. She is a 2010 graduate of Yale University. WOW!
