1968 Asterix & Cleopatra: the arsenic cake song

[cipramil]

Why does he get so many heads at 1:15? I never get so many when I get mad. =(

[xkalasx]

sounds rather emothionless compared to the german version

[DARKGORZ]

Just posted all the correct lyrics, if the uploader would like to partake, be my guest.

[DARKGORZ]

Krukhut and Artifis : Special iced arsenic cake means that we can safely take seats beside the River Nile to see a sacred crocodile eat the Gauls !

[DARKGORZ]

Artifis: Add rat poison to the brew. cobra's venom goes in, too! Sweeten it with orange juice; three segments is what you use! No, I think just one will do. Top it off with with mandrake root, decorate with moldy fruit, just before the funeral...

Krukhut: Add a spot of vitriol."

Artifis: Nooooo--oh!! Yes!!"

Krukhut: Ah ha ha! I knew it’d be a good idea!"

[DARKGORZ]

Artifis: crumble up your arsenic in a glass of narcotic. Add two spoons of castor oil, put them on the stove to boil! no, I'll put in three for luck! Put some snakes' blood in a bowl, then stir in a crushed tadpole. Add a thimble full of glue!

Krukhut: Add a spot of sugar, too!

Artifis: NO!

Krukhut: No? Oh, well.

[DARKGORZ]

Pestilential Pastry Ah poisonous pancakes (yes) Murderous macaroons (not bad) Vipers venom tart with cream (hurrah) Cyanide custard pie (great) Ah! Special iced arsenic cake (laughs)

Artifis: Take a big bowl of strychnine, cream with hemlock 'til it's green. Take a glass of paraffin, warm it up and tip it in! No, I'll put in two for luck! Add a spot of opium, marinate a leech in scum, sprinkle with some chopped frog spawn.

Krukhut: Now we add a peppercorn!

Artifis: NO!

Krukhut : ah oh, well.

[Link8312]

Nice! The english lyrics are great!

[MsKateish]

Best villain ever! Just because of the song, which is awesome!

[Epifon311]

Swedish Version FTW!

[AceOfClubsHUN]

I suggest the German version. It's like nazi scientists brewing Zyklon-B

[TheMeghanKx]

Fred and George weasley.

This reminds me of them -.-

[jakedp100]

What a good classic villain song!

[ben56850]

French is the best, it's the original!!

[lotten16]

who's the sexy voice for the tall guy(forgot his name) and the hilarious voice for his sidekick?

[onkelbolle]

Somebody learn me to dance like they do @ 1:19...

[VincentxDante]

@onkelbolle it is "teach" me, not learn me!

[gwaladrielle]

it's so unfair!!!!!!!!1this images are better than the ones in the french version!!!

[yabadabadoo7]

I want to learn the dance step at 1:19

[DarkBellatrix]

Svenska äger den här versionen lätt.

[astroanu2004]

Top it off with with mandrake root,

decorate with moldy fruit, just before the funeral.

Krukhut : Add a spot of vitriol."

Artifis: Nooooo--oh!! Yes!!"

Krukhut : Ah ha ha! I knew it’d be a good idea !"

Krukhut and Artifis : Special iced arsenic cake means that we can safely

take seats beside the River Nile to see a sacred crockdiles.. eat.. the

Gauls !

[astroanu2004]

Put some snake's blood in a bowl, then stir in a crushed tadpole. Add a thimble full of glue! Krukhut: Add a spot of suger, too! Artifis: NO! Krukhut: No? Oh, well. Artifis: Add rat poison to the brew. cobras's venom goes in, too! Sweeten it with orange juice; three segments is what you use! No, I think just one will do.

[astroanu2004]

The sinhala version is the best youtube id -  8izmYKq877g

[CristianoCR17Ronaldo]

MASTERPIECE

[profmalicious]

Anyone else get Jungle Book flashbacks listening to the music?

[gwaladrielle]

@profmalicious yeah it's song kinda same!!!!!!!!!

[Wurstvogelify]

My sister and me had the german version on VHS when we were little...must have seen it a hundred times. Then, we sang this while setting the table for dinner...our mother didn't approve though...Ah, oh well!

[AliJacksta]

goddamn.. .so many memories hahahah  me and my bro used to dance this shit out...

[MsKateish]

This is so genius. I don't even know how many times I've seen this film :)

[konradl]

Krukhut and Artifis : Special iced arsenic cake means that we can safely take seats beside the River Nile to see a sacred crocodile eat the Gauls !

[jpluedtke]

the video reminds us of what is happening right now, taken cleopatra and the galicians are more like democratic seeking egyptians ...

[horridhenri]

I am 40 but still in love with my cartoons. this has always been one of my best evil songs ever. the arsenic cake or pudding. just like black pudding from east Lancs hahaha.

[UberMan5000]

Catchy song and all, but don't you think a cake that's just made of all that will taste kind of funny?

"Pardon me, I couldn't help but notice that this cake tastes suspiciously like all the chemicals I keep stored under the kitchen sink. Have you had a word with the royal chef?"

[lonewolf23k]

@UberMan5000 Well, of course. In fact, the plot is to have it delivered with a note saying it's from the Gauls he's trying to frame, so they'll get arrested.

[UberMan5000]

@lonewolf23k I see. They must be hoping Cleopatra thinks two Gallians like Asterix and Obelix are stupid enough to try and send her such an obviously poisonous cake, and arrest them for the sheer bloody-mindedness of it.

[xMazingerZ]

La version française est 100 000 fois mieux

[DeTutnloench]

1:17 : MEEEEOOOOW!!!

[metz3962]

The original french version is better, but this one is not bad either

[gerardsk8ordie]

This song has a real name? It sounds very familiar to me.

[Leniinou]

Mdr , quand je pense que la version originale est française :p elle est bien aussi en anglais x)

[MCFulcrum]

haha 4 people ate the cake ;)

[sidewalkcrap]

The swedish version is the best one!!

[RobinHawkStudios]

Then its just called "Pudding med Arsenik" --> you can find it over there

[RobinHawkStudios]

the swedish version of this is the best by far

[Berkeloid]

lol, the mouse is fed up and moves out, hillarious :D

[NouKasTV]

:D in german they sing that he wants to put in salt, not sugar ^_^ <3

[rocksinoo]

@NouKasTV They actually changed a lot the lyrics in the german version ^^

Funny to notice that "le Pudding à l'Arsenic" has become "Arsenic Cake" ^^

[MarilynJade]

1:36  \m/

XD

[JosephCollins]

1:41

"Add a spot of vitriol."

"Nooooo--oh!! Yes!!"

"Ah ha ha! I knew it would be a good idea!"

See, folks? Comedic timing.

[chaosfive55]

One of my all-time favorites!!!

[j400wel]

were they telling about gmt foods and msg - fake suger and fluride in water?

[checkeronetwo]

wow i didnt know that there was an english synchro, too!!!

[Humbledingify]

This reminds me of a song from "Peter Pan" where Captain Hook makes a poison cake.

[waterlily1988]

their laughter is way more hilarious in german! :D especially the accomplices

[Leyuann]

en français ça sonne plus... sournois.

[matteste]

That when he screams NO sounds better in swedish.

[Galentw]

The Nos arenät that convincing... maybe he's actually happy that he talks to him xD

[Notebooked]

Forgive errors in this transcript, please (which will then be marked with the approximate phonetic writing). I am but human. Take a big bowl, ox-spit-lean Clean with hemlock 'til it's green Take a glass of paraphine Warm it up and tip it in (No, I'll put in two, for luck) Add a spot of opium Marinate in leech's scum Sprinkle with some shockpoxborn Now we add a peppercorn! (No!) (Ah, oh well) Crumple up your arsenic In a glass of narcotic Add two spots of custard oil Put them on the stove to boil

[Gideon235]

@Notebooked I think it might be "add two spoons of castor oil, that makes more sense.

[DrunkenM0nkey87]

yummy mandrake roots...^^

[egosumlupus]

No.... OH YES!!!!

[matmoose]

Maybe if he'd stuck to the damn recipe it would have worked.

[asterixsub]

@matmoose : HAHA :-)

[WilsonCool1]

@matmoose The only reason that the recipe didn't worked it's because Cleopatra have a "taster" to taste everything that Cleopatra will eat! XD

[Quietschquatsch]

That´s nice in english!

[chimizu3]

this is good in english

but the originals are always the best no matter what the language.

[pspboy7]

I loved this movie :)

[deenakahara]

this is why I;ve been looking for the whole movie for ages, I love this song! XD

[philthethrill100]

You can get the Remastered DVD on amazon. Look up Asterix and Cleopatre. Why they spelled it that way, I don't know.

[deenakahara]

thank you! ^^

[Rick9635]

a very funny song, but i think the german version is the best, couse the voices are more funnier...

But all versions are cool!

[shadowear]

all versions are funny, but it's true that the original version is the best

[GreenlandCat]

i still think that cake looks like the tastiest cake ever!

[JuliusAnudasson]

GO RAPE!!!!! 1:37- 1:38

[DreadLordBalnazaar]

Learn Swedish and you might like the Swedish version.

English: Can we add a pepper corn?

Oohhhh... Nooooo!

No? Oh well.

Swedish: Åså var det peppar på!

Goång.... NEEEEJ!!!!!

Jaså?

[mimmi2]

@DreadLordBalnazaar

isn't the swedish one more funny? I think soo...

[TheFlameingSkull]

it sounds retarded on english, the voices doesn't match them one bit ----------x-------

[Arc9er]

classic

[lotten16]

who's the VA:s of these characters?

they sound familiar

[MortalBugage]

lol

[SerbitarVeresi]

godlike it makes me feel like i was a young boy

[gatitosmuertosEID]

"yeah"" jaja XD

[AidanMclaren]

The English dub was quite good in the third one, but this one is pretty bad.

[finagle007]

Add rat poison to the brew Cobra's venom goes in too Sweeten it with orange juice Three segments is what you use (No, I think just one will do) Top it off with mandrake root Decorate with moldy fruit Just before the funeral- -Add a spot of vitriol! -NO! Oh, YES! -Ah, I knew it'd be a good idea

[Shavarnarak]

Love their little dance at 1:20

[TheRoxyroux]

the original in french is the best

[haloclyne]

Any original, whatever the language, is better than a translation.

[asterixsub]

@TheRoxyroux : It doesn't matter! In any language, this song is CULT! :-)

[LordHelmchlein]

@TheRoxyroux For me the german version sounds best

[SirTobbii]

@TheRoxyroux No the swedish one is better.

[YachtClubMusic]

@TheRoxyroux tellement.

[zkvattram]

@TheRoxyroux swedish is the best!

[pandabeby]

i think the german version is better

but i think this song is great too :D

[Serfuzz]

Crumble up your arsenic

In a glass of narcotic

Add two spoons of Castrol(?) oil

Put them on the stove to boil

(well I'll put in three for luck)

Put some snake's blood in the bowl

Then stir in a crushed tadpole

Add a tinful(?) full of glue

- And a spot of sugar too!

- Nooo! - No? Oh well.

[Evenflow15]

"Add two spoons of Castrol(?) oil"

hehe, I think it's castor oil.

[Bijan1500]

I'm looking for the clip when they build the pyramids or a wall (asterix runs around while holding several bricks)

[becameconfused]

could someone please add the lyrics of this song

[GSS1Sirius]

I've actually been working on that but there are some instances where I just can't hear what they are singing.

[Claudia77130]

@GSS1Sirius I'm not native English speaker but I totally understood each word. maybe because I have a direct reference from the French and because It only goes far from it where they can fetch rhymes...

[konradl]

@GSS1Sirius Artifis: take a big bowl of strychnine, cream with hemlock 'til it's green. Take a glass of paraffin, warm it up and tip it in! No, I'll put in two for luck! Add a spot of opium, marinade a leech in scum, sprinkle with some chopped frog spawn.
