The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy - Peter Lorre

[IcePirate3]

What...The...F*CK?

But I mean that in the best possible way. This song sounds like something from the Beatles. (Where, exactly, is this song from?) And I love the guitar playing lobster.

[BansheeMilk]

Everyone should know more about Peter Lorre. As well as Jazz Butcher

[chongkina]

Fortunately, the media corporations are starting to get the message that there is a Peter Lorre fandom out here and there's a market for all these great unreleased Peterfilms they've been sitting on like "Island of Doomed Men," "Three Strangers," "The Constant Nymph" and "I Was An Adventuress." The meme that he was typecast and always did the same thing is just not true. There was an astonishing variety to his roles and the way he played them.

[MalariaMozzie]

This is so faggy it makes 'What-What in the Butt' from South Park sound straight.

[Whammytap]

Five people are NOT all right...

[smileyface7727]

XD That was fantastic!!

0:57 What movieis that from? I saw part of it the other day on TCM, but I changed it to watch M. and forgot to check what it was called.

[NeverDoubt1]

@smileyface7727 That's the Maltese Falcon, one of the movies Peter Lorre's best known for and a classic film in itself, I'd recommend. :)

[Dorisday0112]

The movie clip @ 1:14 looked like it might be from Island of Doomed Men..I have only seen a poster of it and a few brief clips here and there but the studios have not released the movie so I can't rent or buy it anywhere! I would really love to see it! Can you tell me where you might have got the clip? Or suggest where to look to see the movie?

[Dorisday0112]

I am a big Peter Lorre fan! Loved this video it was cute and added a little light heartedness to him being mostly cast as a scary madman! Don't get me wrong I liked all the different sides he had to him! He was a great actor!

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

That "Goodnight" was a great.Shame him life was cut short.

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

Peter Lorre is such a cool person he's one of the people on my top ten coolest people list

[thirdeye1957]

wow too cool - the words and melody is classic-i never leave comments cause i am a lazy chatter; this one i couldn't pass up - very good

[taureleafsilver]

The fact that this man has a "Fandom" is beyond delightful.

[brendaPMB]

I love this song and I keep humming it every time I have the chance lol

[PhiloYT1]

Thank you, I'm a fan of his too.

But wouldn't you agree that much of Lorre's uniqueness was his voice and the manner in which he spoke. We get little of that here - a few snippets. Mostly a song that has, let's face it, nothing to do with him. Wouldn't you rather hear him at 2:16 shrieking at Greenstreet, "You imbecile! You bloated idiot! You stupid fat head!" over these banal lyrics?

I would have preferred that you left the original soundtracks intact so we could hear him as well as see him.

[vodkavonstroheim]

@PhiloYT1 I made the video because I like the song, partially for its lyrics, which I find completely affectionate and charming. Leaving all the audio in would have made for quite the cacophony. C'mon, you can watch hella movie clips all over YouTube; the point of making a fan music video is to put some nice images over some nice music that you like and make them sync as well as possible. I left the voice in during the instrumental bit, anyway.

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

@vodkavonstroheim OH SNAP

[thinbutfun]

@vodkavonstroheim I agree with Philo - i have this JBC album, and like the fact that he put up the song (which I liked enough to put on my Ipod) up on Youtube with some video associated. Well done Philo! & thanks.

[blenth]

The Stranger on the Third Floor -- great movie, a very small amount of very highly concentrated Peter Lorre.

[vodkavonstroheim]

That is from The Boogie Man Will Get You with Boris Karloff!

[JGRtheRed]

me too! its a real picker uper when u dont feel good or ur sad

[BobRepublicanZombie]

Peter Lorre is the awesomest. Good to see stuff from Arsenic and Old lace in there. I LOVE that movie! :D

[dariaE]

these were filmed in the 30's, yet here I am, in 2009 and I have kisses for this man. How am I to go about administering these kisses to him? A truly horrible, aching conundrum. Why did god make this happen??

[taureleafsilver]

@dariaE I love this.

[IcePirate3]

@dariaE Gaaah, I'm in the exact same predicament!

[mills211]

"You can trust this tiny person!" lol

I can't believe this is a real song. It seems like one of those songs that you would find on children's sing along shows. I'm not really into the tune, but I love Peter Lorre. So, I must agree that this is a pretty swell song. lol

[Czeppelin]

Is strange that bands write songs about great Hungarian horror actors and state that they're not dead in real (this and Bauhaus' Bela Lugosi song).

[BabysGotTheRabies]

I think this is sort of a parody of "Bela Lugosi's Dead", Bauhaus' David J being a one-time member of the Jazz Butcher and all.

[arisztidoltz]

Very charming tribute! Most enjoyable, and I find myself constantly watching it> Except what's with Pierre?

[mRsBedLO]

the best peter lorre video ever made

[peterlorre11]

WHERE CAN I GET THIS SONG???

[Rutlefan]

It first came out on the fantastic "Conspiracy" EP. A better bet now would the Big Questions compilation.

[IllyriaFaust]

What film is that at 2:10? He looks so precious so I'd like to rent it. :)

And the film at 1:06.

[blenth]

The film at 1:06 is "I'll Give A Million," which unfortunately isn't out on DVD, but you can sometimes catch it on Turner Classic Movies. Also, there are several clips of Lorre's scenes up on You Tube! the film at 2:10 is "The Stranger on the Third Floor" and it isn't on DVD either (that's the annoying thing about being a Peter Lorre fan!), but tends to be on TV quite often too.

[vodkavonstroheim]

Also, I just posted that comment with the total wrong account, and thought I'd better clear things up...heh!

[IllyriaFaust]

aw, really? :( Thank God for Youtube, then. Thank you very much!

[Icommentstupidity]

what is this.. never heard of this .. ?

[brendaPMB]

I never get tired of this video.... EXCELENT!!!!

[Chizpurfle52595]

I LOVE the end credits font, I have to download it, what is the name of the font you used?

[peterlorre11]

I LOVE YOU

[Chizpurfle52595]

I KNOW I NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS VIDEO

WE LOVE YOU VODKA!!!

Muah I love when Joel Cairo touches the cane to his mouth.....

AND WHEN HE SAYS GOODNIGHT IT'S THE CUTEST SADDEST THING EVER

[NatashaNabokov]

This made my day, thank you.

[Wirsindseife]

omg

[tyarra]

this song is stuck in my head now! ...i was singing it in town nd kept on getting stared at lol nice vid also! ;)

[spiteclassictv]

I looked up Peter Lorre....to do exactly what you did.  Damn this is untouchable! Great work!

[vodkavonstroheim]

I, for one, would welcome as many music videos for this song on YouTube as possible! :D

[snakelover400]

Ok what movie was that at 1:24

[vodkavonstroheim]

Where he catches the knife out of the air? "My Favorite Brunette".

[snakelover400]

I was thinking about this yesterday. Songs kinda funn. I'm working on my own tribut as well so I gess we share something in comen. It's kinda funny you minchened Sidny senc he hapins to be in this one segment I picked for the begining part of my video.

[doloho432]

I just got back from evacuating from Hurricane Gustav and the first thing I did on the Internet was to watch this video again! I love it!

[tangledblu]

Nicely done!

[doloho432]

This is my favorite Peter Lorre tribute vid. Thanks for making it and posting for the world to see!

[brendaPMB]

Nice Vid...

Don`t know how you make it but I loved it... :)

[cjgrs]

Very funny but yikes with the knives lol. Nice work, love Lorre! This is great!

[protemporic]

What a character, Mr. Lorre looked like a teacup chihuahua.......I have a feeling he was a hard sell, nobody's fool. The demand for his unique character would be in vogue to this day, I believe.

[bellabohemian]

The absolute best! My heart's all squidgy now :)

[mRsBedLO]

I remember the first time I saw this clip dear vodkavonstroheim, I couldn't sleep!

lol

I was so...well...exhilarated and very squirrelly. I had to look this about twenty times, then finally I was able to sleep.

LOL

excellent work! 5*****

[sixsticks]

LOL, was trying to catch up on my subscription views...so when I noticed your latest were'nt loaded any longer I went to your channel to find them...how'd I ever missed this one! Loved it!

[Nordenwald]

I can't stop watching this - I just can't. This video is so well done... highly addictive.

[insanelycrazy]

What's the very last movie when he says "Goodnight" ? Thanks

[Nordenwald]

I think that's from "I was an Adventuress" (1940). Brilliant clip, btw, thanks for sharing :-))

[insanelycrazy]

Thanks = )

[nilara93]

hehe

[WizardGlik]

Never, and I repeat never leave a Fish alone with a Casio keyboard!

[insanelycrazy]

is there anywhere you can get that song on-line ? great video by the way 8 )

[CultofJ]

Damn, I can't believe it took this long for someone to make a video to this song and post it on youtube. Seriously, I've been waiting for someone to do it. Bravo!

[Zoisitetta]

Gotta love Peter Lorre and the danceing Lobster!

[dearmalika]

good job!

[JackBenny1924]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[Plasticsoul]

The Jazz Butcher is the greatest band ever. There should be clever videos for every single one of their songs.

Did you link Pat on this? He would love it!

[Chizpurfle52595]

best shit i've ever seen. i love this. love it love it love it!!! what does "he's a brick" mean in British slang?

[vodkavonstroheim]

I've always assumed "he's a brick" meant he was really steadfast and dependable and impossible to knock down because he's so little and tough. :D

[bugsbunny465]

nice starting buddy

[prairiechicken3]

What a fun video! Makes me want to watch a Lorre film right away. Great song by The Jazz Butcher too. Who doesn't love The Jazz Butcher? This is perfect.

[Zoisitetta]

LOL! I love that crab!

[vodkavonstroheim]

I'm glad you like him! He's a lobster, by the way (ein Hummer) :)

[Zoisitetta]

lol. he's still cute.

[NiftyLouiesGirl]

This is the best thing on youtube!! Wonderful! And Peter is just beautiful...sigh.

[Zoisitetta]

GA! I still can't stop watching this!! So...cathy!

[Spinele]

lool

yes ladylave, you're right XD

hach ruhe in frieden herr lorre

yes, rest in peace

has anybody the lyric of this song?

[buzzardskeet]

Wicked.

[felvidek75]

Excellent! I'm going to favorite this and I'm sure that it will be one of those clips my two-year old watches over and over! She will love Pierre!

[LordAzrael21]

looool very nice ;) i like this, great

5*

[CDU916]

Delightful...funny lyrics! "Like a little squidgy bear!" Do you think Peter would appreciate the sentiment?

[vodkavonstroheim]

Oh, I'm sure he would have been most flattered!

[Spinele]

HOLY COW!!!!

this is marvolous!!

great!!!

the best video I've ever seen

my good

this is absolutely briiliant, wonderful!!!

oh thank you so much for this great video and this great song!!!

I'm so happy

:)

[vodkavonstroheim]

Aww...I'm glad you liked it so much!

[ladylove1972]

Haha! I think we've converted Spinele into the "Holy Cow!" saying! :D I love this too! I've seen it four times and I ain't done yet! :) LOVE THIS!

[PreCodeMovies]

FABULOUS!!!!

[webothlovesoup]

Absolutely wonderful!!!

[NewfyJones]

Absolutely brilliant. I love it. Especially the guitar-playing crab. And Joel Cairo's umbrella. ^_^

[lolkungfucandy]

HE IS A LOBSTER AND HIS NAME IS PIERRE.

[vodkavonstroheim]

Yes! As Pierre's sole agent rightly pointed out, Pierre's a lobster. ("Hummer" is German for lobster! I don't know what it has to do with Peter Lorre but the Jazz Butcher is wiser than me.)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

[ladylove1972]

OH I LOVE THIS!!! You are so brilliant!! I have to learn your video making techniques. :D Is Pierre your own little creation?!? And lobster has everything to do with Louie the Dope, who wanted nothing but "lobsters with thermador" throughout the film! :)

[vodkavonstroheim]

I only wish I had created Pierre! Pierre belongs to Samn/lolkungfucandy down thar. I feel guilty for not putting her in the credits now actually. GUYS, IF ANYONE WANTS TO EMPLOY PIERRE, lolkungfucandy IS HIS AGENT!
