The President addresses the 112th session of Congress,@3:00 to pitch support for his nuclear defense policy.Members of Congress, lap dancers in 3 piece suits have either dollar bills or America flags in their hands.
Sync & resolution poor. Is that Obama, as he descends the steps to address Congress, holding flags in his hands? Zombi Jamboree is more better than "Hail to the ThieF"
Yup. Frame 1:96 Madame Sec State let them use Chelsea's feet 'cause hers are old & ugly. What's this?!!!! @2:00 POTUS ( as in pot for us) is signing SOPA c/ earrings!!!!! Cheap chink pens musta busted. And yes!@ 3:00 there is President Obama's carefully executed strategy for his foreign policy- or lack thereof. Who says white men politicians- or women politicians can't dance? Watch c span to see a remix of Zombi Jamboree- or go view it in the Longworth Building,lol
Thank you for the response. It's so sad that we r still lagging behind in r cultural awareness n sensitivity. Thanks for finding this gem of Mr Belefonte's n posting it. I've loved the song for years n seeing the performance with the altered lyrics is a real treat as I was 10 when this came out if I am guessing right. I've viewed it at least 40 X now n smile all the way though. Again, a sincere THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! Its made for one happy viewer! =^..^=
I just recalled the other thing about the song: the lyrics included "damn" not once but repeated. Remember when all that was bleeped out or changed to a more socially correct word? I've always loved this song but in hindsight I realize just how much it pushed the envelope. =^..^=
The more I watch this the more I'm amazed the censors allowed it to be broadcast! First a black man dancing with white females who were dressed very controversially (bare mid drifts). Then touching a females bared leg that left little to the imagination with the lyrics. Plus in the dance routine he bumps hips to all the girls. I was only 6 yrs when Star Trek was heavily criticized for having (gasp!) an alien kissing a black women. My Mom was horrified when after all the interracial rioting
@terpsichoreankat Gr8 post.. Shirley Temple & Bojangles were censored holding hands in dance#.The 1960's.Shades of little Evy.If you were 1/16 part black- unlawful to marry a "white". Some soldiers ( draft ) didn't want blood transfusions if it couldn't preclude "black" blood. 1962 Chuck Berry did hard time- twice. His crime? Fr wht girl as secretary.Star trek- oh yeah.Jesus Christ Super star was edited for"blashpheme".Luv@ end whn Harry jumps into mosh pit c/ white girls.
@terpsichoreankat Because its Harry, Harry could do what others only could dream of... He was the first man on the Moon, he invented democracy. Communism and the written word. ;)
@terpsichoreankat Actually, the Star Trek in question, "Plato's Stepchildren", featured Capt. Kirk, (William Shatner), being forced by mind control to kiss Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols). Neither of them were "aliens", but yes, there was a LOT of flack about that!
What's also so awesome r the different lyrics! I've know it since the Kingston Trio did it at NAS NI, but these words r totally out of the realm to the others! These warn against Atomic War plus all the other stuff you all have caught!
@terpsichoreankat They did it at the HungryI & changed words to "Fairlawn"/Queens cemetary.I was there. It was what's happening Terpsichoreankat. Trust moi. Back in the day- D*&n was not allowed.Harry did it best- except for the Lord Penetrators who allegedly wrote it! Thanks for your most excellant comments!
was this the original zombie jamoree??? if so i like it, ive heard 3 versions and they all good. i recently heard the rockapella version on newgrounds and got rather obsessed with the song XD
@StevenWoodring No, like all the Belfonte Calypsos, he stole them from original Trinidadian calypsonians. This one came from Lord Invader/Intruder and called Jumbie Jamboree.. Haven't been able to find the original version since we used to have it on an old 8-track.
@ramnarine9Imp YUP- t'was Lord Flash- 1930's- jumboree(?) Man- those who did it 1st did it best. Bunch a white kids during the Great Depresso got $ frm Uncle Sam & recorded this stuf.
@tabuma Yup-moi aussi- I am so OCD on this. Belafonte- amazing man for amazing times. He set us free back in the day. Before "Thriller" et al- which was a remix of Apocolypso Carnivale- there was the Zombi Jumbaree. Break out of the spell. King Flash ( 1930's WPA financed). Ole songs- they got style, they got class
@oatstao Dude- them girls be more than smokin'! They be hot!!!!! Why you think we saw this on network back in the day? TV schtick better- commercial version jazzed up. They took a chance. Once upon a time- Shirley Temple could not put her hand in Mr. Bo Jangles hand("Little Colonel"). Who-aa. I don't need no Viagra- look @ the dude @ time lapse 2.48 when he puts ear rings on the lady barefoot all over- in full view of millions in audience. They all sure can dance. Leaves our world far behind.

@Saiaton after germany lost ww2, the whole world has degressed. Germany was a great nation of honor and dignity. Something that is lost to the world now becuse of germanys loss.
@foucault1020 Where they went is during The Depression- white kids given money for a Bahamas cruise & they recorded this. The song is an anagram for the past I feel. Essentially we illegally downloaded their music & made money doing it.
@lachmeneger Cheer up!We welcommed Germany WWII.Germans were outta town brown & hightailed it to the US before there was even a V-E day. The high mucketty muck Nazis had a one way ticket all expenses paid for by the Vatican.Nazis currently rule US so we are a great nation of honour & dignity-;D. Germany- Schiller, Goethe, Beethovan, Wagner, Heisenberg, Freud(head psryrinker), heroin(Bayer), jets, LASAR, & rockets! Atomic bomb?Germany. For sure. Trinity was not deployed until after V-E day.
@Saiaton That would not explain the hate mail that poured in to the "Smothers Brothers Show" when, during a duet, Petula Clark touched Harry Belafonte's arm.
Wow...less than perfect sound quality, but nice to see how closely Rockapella followed the original lyrics (and thankfully left off the 1969 politicalisms).
