[DarkPrinceNH5570]

Name one hero in usa that is worth my time. I can think of one and write a book about WHY he is and he is dead.

Can anyone name a HERO in usa? Im not a hero if you fucktard civilians around me are dumb as fuck and not INTELLIGENT enough to tell me whats going on.

[gunterdak]

@DarkPrinceNH5570 HaHa.......WTF you on about?

[FalconAlpaca]

@DarkPrinceNH5570 Davy Crockett knew 'erry tree and patched up the liberty bell, plus he lead those pi-o-neeers. SO STFU.

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

You can offer me money to stay in the country. I wont take it.

Or I will and leave anyways and tell you to fuck off and have another COUNTRY outside of the usa take this out of me.

People in usa never been in military or life and death situations. So fuck them if they do this inhumane shit to people. I got selected by other stuff too I saw in media when in Iraq, it was the movies. But I also saw it before I went in.

People in usa dont even know what COURAGE is to come up to me and tell me.

[VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

@DarkPrinceNH5570 I foresee suicide for you.

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

There are no HEROs in usa. You want to know why Davy is being looked at as this?

Because hes DEAD. All HEROs in usa are dead. Thats why usa is all dicked up. And if you LIVE to tell about it. They just want heros? usa can suck my dick. Im not your HERO and Im not your ACHILLES. 2 words. FUCK OFF

SOCIETY failed when you didnt tell me whats going on. So choose another SOLDIER to be your HERO, your POLITICIAN, your GOD.

Im all for a war about BATTLE of the GODS.

[HaZi388]

[derwenttrenholm]

David Crockett was a true Hero, I am glad we had ones like him to look too, instead of what they look at as hero's now. Rappers and such

[Kurtagx]

A total fucking legend was Davy Crockett

[therealjoebloggs]

Davy Crockett was found with numerous stab wounds; this is indisputable. He probably died as all the others did, bayoneted by every passing Mexican soldier. Santa Anna ordered that the wounded be finished off. It is doubtful an unscathed Davy was brought to Santa Anna so that the Generalissimo and his lieutenants could have the pleasure of running him thru with swords. But because of Davy's wounds, Pena 's account, however implausible, is not ruled out.

[trolleycoach]

Are these the Mellomen? Sounds like a disney recording but not quite the soundtrack.

[sssmre]

@trolleycoach Yes, those are the Mellowmen, with Thurl Ravenscroft bringing up the bottom. The did quite a few Disney themes during that period, including Zorro.

[sssmre]

[Backfromthedeadguy]

Susana Dickinson saw Crockett's body lying between the chapel and barracks as she left the scene. I guess it comes down to who you want to believe concerning how Crockett was killed.

[deovinice]

If he had actually seen David Crockett executed at the Alamo, it seems that de la Pena would

have made note of this in his diary. He did not. Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that he

obtained it from another source while writing his history in later years. That source was likely

an incorrectly copied American newspaper article, in which misplaced punctuation changed

the meaning of a reference to Crockett's death. Perhaps the pen truly is mightier than the

sword?

[deovinice]

Revisionist historians, of course, point to Jose Enrique de la Pena's diary as conclusive

"proof" that Crockett surrender. There is a major problem with this logic. The lieutenant did not

mention the execution incident in his original diary, the one he actually kept while in the field

with Santa Anna. The execution story only appears in his later history of the war, a manuscript

he prepared from numerous sources - including American newspapers and his own original

diary.



[SargeHarkness]

I'm only 15

, norwegian but i remember the song from when i was a kid. Does anyone know from where??????? NOT FROM THE TV SERIES FROM THE 50's!!!

[Mjolbaggar]

@SargeHarkness The movie "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier" from 1955

[randomlaughable]

He wasn't killed at the Alamo, he was taken prisoner after the battle and then executed by the Mexican Army. Get your facts straight. Davy Crockett ftw!

[deovinice]

@randomlaughable Read more The problem, however, is whether de la Pena actually saw this. His published account, which

was prepared in part from a diary he kept during the campaign, includes not only his own

memories, but a great deal of information from other sources as well. Among the sources he

consulted in writing his history, which was penned years after the campaign, were American

newspapers of the time.

[RollOnToVictory]

Davy Crockett's tears cure cancer.... too bad he's never cried.... EVER

[CartoonConcerts]

i like porn

his guy should be in one :) i love him

[crazyvoices1]

My social studies teacher sings this....

[Tirunus]

@crazyvoices1

Your social studies teacher is only outmatched in his manly ways by Davy Crockkett himself

[crazyvoices1]

@Tirunus uhmmm okay? but i hate her so whatever lmaooo

[bbandmusclefan]

yeah, we need David Crockett to fix up the government again.. only he'd have to serve a long ass spell..

[seanmahon101]

davey crocket was abig big man but the bear was bigger so he ran like a ((**&^^&er up a tree.wait that was daniel boon sorry everyone.

[jimtraner]

Broke my arm riding my bike on the way over to watch Davy Crockett on my buddy's TV. He had the only TV on the block and as I recall The Wonderful World of Disney was on Sunday. Every time I hear this song my right elbow hurts. that was in the second grade and that damn cast was a pain in the butt.

[Dcdatruth85]

Lol i found this vid watching the Sanford and Son Camp Trip Episode.

[jaredgonzalez123]

Nice song:-)

[CaptainJSparrow1010]

For those of you looking for Davy Crockett videos i stumbled on this

[FastEyeStudios]

Reminds me of how Uncle Walt would tell America's children of the wild animals of Africa, the adventures of Swiss Family Robinson, and of course, the tales of Davy Crockett.

[skierunner]

@duvalinhn Ah, sorry man, if my humor is outdated for your fine tastes. ;D

[countrygirl9795]

i's luv this un

[countrygirl9795]

i know this is about my unkle davy crockett. man ive heard this un since i's too young of a girl

[skierunner]

Chuck Norris is the reincarnation of Davy Crocket. That's why Chuck Norris became famous playin a Texas Ranger. Because he defended the Alamo.

[nintendodude200]

@skierunner Haha, that's what I say. they seem to be a lot alike, there are so many stories about him that are just tall tales.

[duvalinhn]

@skierunner really? it's 2011 and people are still all over Chuck Norris's nuts? Let it go, man, it stopped being funny like 5 years ago.

[dandydon777]

They are the Mellomen. This is the version from the TV program and the "only" real version of the ballad as far as many of us are concerned. Can't explain the memories it evokes; you had to be there. Thank you Walt! Thank you Fess and Buddy.

[artofliving123]

Fess Parker played davy crockett and sung this song

[wiiS360]

[AchiroRothlkin]

@wiiS360

Who do you think trained Chuck Norris' dad?

[cupcakelover1234567]

[HonkyTonkMarc]

That is absolutely without a doubt NOT Johnny Horton.

[luilainez]

by The Wellingtons

[heardthattt]

Johnny Horton sang this version.

[TommyTurntables1]

Sadly Davy Crockett would be a Homeland Terrorist now a days and the "Police" would be more then happy to put him in jail. T_T

[spymaine89]

someone ask me when all this us congress corruption started, i told him to read

DAVY CROCKETT'S speech in Congress .we needed Davy than and we need him now , but no one person can save us , its requires millions of us .

.Colonel Davy Crockett Delivering His Celebrated Speech to Congress on the State of Finances, State Officers, and State Affairs in General .

[7rueg4m3r]

They played this song in detention!!!! IT WAS TORTURE!!!!! did anyone else have to hear this song

[dandydon777]

The original! No other rendition even comes close.

[MrTrykster]

*whistles, clicks tongue twice*

[MrJackman461]

@MrTrykster nice one, foxy

[itshann]

Top cat brought me here!

[Runescape3000]

The reason I came to this video was because I read an article about Stephen Colbert, saying that he used to listen to this song every night and that it would make him cry

[pinkestkitty]

sounds like he's saying Betty, Betty Crocker!

[tig1960]

remeber it well yes sir my pa used to call our elder brother this

[dclaber]

The Mellomen were a popular singing quartet active from the late 1940s through the mid-1970s. The group was founded by Thurl Ravenscroft and Max Smith in 1948. They were sometimes credited as The Mellowmen were featured frequently on Disneyland Records. The Mello Men, or The Mellow Men. The Mellomen sang "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh", The Ballad of Davy Crockett and the introduction of Zorro. They performed the elephant's singing voice in Jungle Book.

[TM1861]

I've been trying to get this information for awhile...thank you for posting this! The short Disney series had a huge impact on me as a child...never had the chance to hunt but did finally become a soldier and shooter! Much appreciated!

[Djickk]

The Wellingtons is who sings it

[H0llyleaf]

[iwishiwasapony]

[hunterrrr777]

This is the greAtest video ever uploaded

[1lenny]

This version is done by Tom Blackburn for the Disney Production of The Adventures Of Davy Crockett in 1955.

Bill Hayes had a number one version on the charts.Also Tenn Ernie Ford & even Fess Parker had hits with this song.

I grew up watching Fess as Davy Crockett..One of my all time favorite songs and heros.

[swtcarl4u]

[swtcarl4u]

[chrissyhop]

so many memories

[nellie2581]

My favorite song. Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier

[TreRamon]

davy crockett the legend

[DJHey20]

Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of when I learned it in my eighth-grade litature class. It was fun to sing it.

And it's been one of my favorite songs ever since.

[MrCuckooclock]

not really, it may be tennessee ernie ford, but that doesn't sound quite right

[JoeB0y16]

@MrCuckooclock It's really The Mellomen with Thurl Ravenscroft, but Tennessee Ernie did have his own version.

[goodfeloo52]

its the same one I have on a 45 from RCA Victor by Blackburn----- and Scott

The voices of Walter Schumann

[TimeLord9811]

my dad sings this song ALL THE TIME! he is such a DORK but i love him.

[rcthehunter97]

[itunesoap]

I listened to this song at school. We are learning tall tales and legends. Davy Crockett is one of them. My teacher goes on Youtube alot.

[electricfoxx]

[Aeropostaleboy15]

RIP FESS PARKER, we will miss you 

[kaizerzydeco]

Very embiggening!

[mholub]

Hey, moonwalkinthruheaven, I WAS Davy Crockett!! :)  (I think I still might be.)

[MsBridgitMendler]

@mholub really??? how did you know?

[mholub]

I think this was the version that was on the Disney show. Could've been "The Sons of the Pioneers" who sang this, but I'm not sure. GREAT STUFF though!!!

[Moonwalkinthruheaven]

I think every little boy from the '50's wanted to be Davy Crockett!

[x3uhohitzmorganx3]

@Moonwalkinthruheaven Well I was a little girl from the 90s and I thought I was Davy Crockett :). Haha I got it from my dad, instead of him buying me movies like Cinderella he would buy me historical movies like this. I loved every one of them but this was by far my favorite!

[MasterEled]

@x3uhohitzmorganx3 My dad was the same way, only books and movies he approved allowed, and virtually no other entertainment. The guy was a bastard to the day he died but I am grateful for his principles on entertainment :p

[smokingSara]

There is a country rock group that sang the ballad of Davy Crockett and I can not remember the groups name either it was ZZTop or Lynyrd Skynyrd. Does anyone know?

[daltoncd]

@smokingSara The Kentucky Head Hunters sang a version.

[WWEChampion16]

I wonder why the TV show only lasted 1 year?

[lunatheblond]

@WWEChampion16 It only lasted one year because it was a "peace tready" between ABC and Disney. ABC gave Disney millions of dollars to help fund Disneyland along as advertising for the park. The TV show helped ABC ratings. Once the park was completed and the loans paied off the show was yanked but relationships betweent the companies were still good.

[LuvItachiWeasal]

Fess, I will remember you in my heart!

[terminator6267]

Fess we will fuckin' miss you!!!!!!!!! R.I.P.!!!

[GORDITO1000]

[TheAthenian11]

[skudaarkaat1]

[DavidMalcolmPorta]

@skudaarkaat1 - Sony's Columbia release, 16 Most Requested Songs The 1950s, Volume 1.

[lupinvash3]

This is the version of the song that I like.

[Jacari1992]

@lupinvash3 i have to sing in our karaokee tomorrow at school.

[WWEChampion16]

@lupinvash3 me too!

[zomit]

@lupinvash3  i agree

[bulldog1447]

Does anyone know who sings this version?

[willie3able]

This is the version used by Disney on the sunday night episodes. Probably studio musicans from years ago..

[JoeB0y16]

The Wellingtons featuring the great singer Thurl Ravenscroft.

[chuck375]

This version is by the original artists that sang it for the sound track of the television show and movie. They are commonly misidentified on digital music sites as the Wellingtons. They were the Mellomen and featured Thurl Ravenscroft as the bass singer.

[JoeB0y16]

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up!
