[BigBagsForRent2]

Thumbs up if you stick pens up your ass!

[CoolCats61]

It looks like Peter Jackson didn't get enough funding for 'The Hobbit'

[Larjit1]

Reddit's Anthem! LOL

[coffeetablesex]

This is the entire internet...

[fionntain]

"Reddit's national anthem?" haha defiantly

[fingers313131]

I'm sick of YouTubes sad no lifers making a comment and then asking for "likes" if you agree...

Thumbs up is you are sick of it also. hahahahahahahhahahaha

[troopy009]

I'm probably the only one who was brought here by Duran Duran singing this during Three To Get Ready footage from backstage.

[ThePurpleann]

or rather a Connecticut Yankee in the court of King Arthur the part that Bing Crosby is playing is the Yankee who suddenly finds himself back in the time of King Arthur that is the bearded guy in the middle. I loved this film as a child

[ThePurpleann]

Hi this clip is from "An American Yankee in the Court of King Arthur" 

[Linkage1992]

It's kinda depressing that they're all dead now.

[DucksFromHell]

"I HAVE TO MEET A TURTLE,

TO TEACHIN' HIM HOW TO SWIM" - thats what i tell my mother when she asks me to do something.

[Dragzolia7X]

it was my life before i heard this song and it damn well still is no matter how much i try to get 'MOTIVATED' wat ever the hell that is..

[incalebus1]

2 people are to busy doing something to appreciated this song ;)

[Azertificate]

@madasaurus

I knew as well, I'm 15. :P

[bk533]

Thumbs up if you heard this on Cabin Pressure!

[MyaBelmonte]

@bk533 I can't actually hear this without mentally listening Arthur's voice 'quacking' this.

Douglas: *humming*

Arthur: THAT'S IT!

Martin: Uh, Arthur! You made me drop my apple!

Carolyn: Oh Martin. Surely the only professional pilot who can not successfully juggle one apple.

Arthur: That's the tune, though! *assassinates tune with infinite painfull cries*

Crew: *Sings happily while juggling apples (which apparently is the secret to true happiness)*

Oh My, too funny.

[Jamesmac30]

Thanks - i just love this scene and song which was filmed in 1947 but not released until 1949.

[sleedolfine15]

I think that's my theme song.

[MrMinecraft4noobs]

2 people need to go to work aholics

[syhz0519]

stewart & gaskin!!

[dekonstrukta]

Die drei Eidgenossen.

[Hrrothgar]

This movie has always been a favourite of mine, and this song has always stuck with me, reminds me of my old European father and how he spontaneously bursts into song about the most mundane things to cheer himself up, and how it always works! Certainly something to live by!

[cliocat200]

Cabin Pressure :)

[SciFiFangirlsFTW]

@cliocat200 That's why I looked it up, because of Cabin Pressure. ^^

[jonnobucks89]

Clearly reminds me of our current State government.

[sueintas]

yes say the ad - couldnt think where I had heard the song before - I thought also a disney movie!!!!!

[MrFraserFilms2009]

The McDonalds advertisement must be popular. Not only do people talk about it, but it some how made it to Australian TV!

[Linkage1992]

This song makes me happy.

[dagoelius]

another great tune from the pen of Jimmy Van Heusen

[OrchardFairy]

My parents loved this song, I love this song, my boys love this song - it's timeless and will last as long as there are people on this planet.

[lindajoneill]

It's from the movie A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court/The Emperor Waltz

[suemotown]

An Yankee n King Arthurs Court I think the films called

[jmercer1820]

I am another brought here by an ad

Those lyrics "We're busy doin' nothin'

 Workin' the whole day through Tryin' to find lots of things not to do"

are so nice

[lucy0loves0music]

Oh this is so cheerful!! Loved it!! I wanna see the whole movie!!

[bentotheclarke]

an ad brought me here

[SugaHoneyChoclit]

@bentotheclarke and the thing is; i can't remember which ad it was for, lol..makes me smile every time

[williewobbler79]

I realise 'dost' is pronounced 'dust' ;)

[williewobbler79]

Thanks for the lyrics, but I think it's 'I must BEHEST the songbirds', & 'I DOST'

[pete19691000]

Peter and the test tube babies have also done a punk version of this song.

[ShokaLion]

It makes me think of some of the Dwarf songs in Snow White.

[yeyo1k]

[McFarrahS]

Epic! I'm sure I've heard this song before from when I was little,but I dont think I've ever seen the film...I do love Bing Crosby though!

[DeadManHarry]

One person is a busy body

[starryeyesurpise]

Googled this song after hearing the it on the McDonald's advert!

[danlen86]

good

[ToRiHale]

This song is in my head from my childhood but I dont know from where, Ive never seen this film before...

[whiskeyshan]

Love it - remember it from when I was younger. Makes you feel sooo happy.

[TheEllieAndLauraShow]

thumbs up if you youtubed the song after watching the warburtons ad :) (y)

[jimickey1]

jon travolta at 300

[LoraaCharlotte]

I love this song, i heard it on a Mc Donnalds advert and i've been obsessed with it since. For some reason the video reminds me of The wizard of Oz !!

[funkygirlx13x]

@LoraaCharlotte Same! It's so funny ain't it!

[LOVEAlexandFoxy]

@LoraaCharlotte Especially the "never do, never do" bit at the end! Totally get what you mean :)

[Zareste]

@LoraaCharlotte looks like the same style and camera work. It would be ironic if the same super-ambitious people who produced Wizard of Oz were behind this.

[MyTilika]

LOVE THIS DOING THIS FOR MY FAMILY LOL PANTO THIS FEBUARY

[melodyworks]

Brilliant song...it's now a classic and rightly so!

Mez

[robothedgehog]

this is stuck in my head and i love it thumbs up if you agree!

[lashwhip]

My father would sing this song whenever I strayed "off-task".

[hollowaymccartney]

Is Cedric Hardwicke the old man? 

[Mapkit]

@hollowaymccartney  The singers are: left of screen with flat hat is William Bendix, middle with beard is Cedric Hardwicke, on right is Bing Crosby.

[Mapkit]

@hollowaymccartney Yes, and on left is William Bendix & right Bing Crosby.

[vanjane]

How weird. I must have remembered this song from my childhood. I was just sitting here singing it and I thought i would see if it was in here. And here it is. how wonderful.

[MissPickletoes]

This indeed is my philosophy of life!

Don't take life so seriously, as we will never get out alive!!! ;-)

A wonderful YouTube contribution!

[Alcagaur]

As someone who has been endeavouring, with but moderate success, to introduce British panto to parts of Central Europe, I cannot adequately express my delight and gratitude at this hark back to one of the great comedic musical reinterpretations - made all the more wonderful by the HQ.
