[1Bandit455]

[teufelstaub]

Oy gevalt, klezmer rednecks!

[7855waldo]

"OK - you're Sir Sir Sir Knucklehead!"

[TL250Rider]

This is really Great.

[yumyummoany]

[captainnaughtypants]

[misbighead]

[xyzzaa]

wonderful. how did u do it? did you do each individual frame like Disney used to do? or by digital manipulatiion? how did you do the cartoons? draw them on paper?or in a computer graphic? what kind of spftware was used? alot of questions.

elliott in New Orleans.

[ICit4U07]

Just so you know ... the cartoon is an oldie from the 1920s, probably, and was itself a spoof of the Hatfields/McCoys hillbilly feud. The poster here put music and sound-effects to it, although he did have to make sure the timing was right. He did a good job, technically; but the result is very misleading -- just look at the post from mmmbeachlover, who gets it all wrong and unintentionally reveals more of himself than he intended.

[xyzzaa]

thanks. you did a great job.

[mmmbeachlover]

big noses and beards..wotva next!!!

if only other sections of society felt free to poke fun at themselves and not over-react in such sensitive fashion...

[hakmirchai]

He who can laugh at himself on Tuesday can pisch on himself on Sunday.

[gazzi22]

I'd be grateful if someone could write and translate the yiddish for me.

[hakmirchai]

Someone can, but thy're busy replying to your comment right now.

[ElveeKaye]

I want the lyrics! This is hilarious! ^_^

[lambioi]

Am Israel Chai !

[tobibravo]

Teh awesome!

Where can I find the lyrics? What's the original title of this song?

[Fritztoons]

Great! Thank you for posting!

[MrUnidyne]

Where did you get the footage of the orchestra in a fight?

[tkhering]

The destructive orchestra was conducted by Milt Britton. The clip was lifted from a Soundie musical short, "Poet and Peasant Overture."

[tubasinbulgaria]

thank you

[KellyLeebaKinseth]

There were pigs dancing in the kitchen! It was quite amusing and as another commenter wrote, The music sounds like it was made for this cartoon!

[debymat1]

it's dirty language ....

KURWA Language!

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

What is dirty about it? I think Yiddish sounds cool.

[Afro70s]

'Kurwa' in Polish is the worst swear-word.

[DENNY1921]

my jewish mom told me that in yiddish, kurwa is a whore

[Afro70s]

Because it is. But it is also a word that Polacs use in almost every sentence :)

[hihorn]

One problem: Why is the orchestra shown in mirror image?

[CineGraphic]

the footage of the orchestra came from a "soundie" Soundies were printed in reverse, and projected in a vending machine. The picture was reflected off of a mirror onto a rear projection screen. I saw no need while editing this piece to flip the image.

[GoblinXXX]

That cartoon could have been made for this song

[adeefeinstein]

Ah Mechaie!

[urfine]

Absolutely brings me back to my youth. It warms my heart, Thank you so much, Bless you for making my day.

[vegaslover777]

You don't have to be Jewish or know Yiddish (although it helps) to enjoy and appreciate the humor and music of the great Mickey Katz. I love all his parodies, my favorite being "Sound Off", Mickey's rendition of the famous army song - that one's hilarious! But then all of Mickey Katz' songs are.

[Rosenblum18]

A wonderful pick-me-up after the work week! It will make Shabbas even sweeter. A toizent danks.

[urfine]

ich ken zein freilich heint. Zei gezint.

"Uncle Laibl shtupt zich vi a hazer, uncle Laibl, get off the table", haha. - "Uncle Laibl eats like a pig, get off the table" - that's what I've heard.

[tubasinbulgaria]

Thanks for posting this.  Does anybody know who the live action orchestra is and what that clip is from?

[aarfeld]

I think I saw Pete Townsend bustin' his axe over someone's head at one point. :-)

[tkhering]

"Poet and Peasant" by Milt Britton and his Orchestra.

[MrUnidyne]

I guess now we know where the Plasmatics got their shtick from, no?

[jeannie1renee2]

HA! Guitargirl has Mickey Katz on her iPod---wouldn't that just toast his bagel!And on a Spike Jones clip a few pages back someone said the same thing--to think these guys were popular in my parents and grandparents day and kids have them on their iPods--Good music never goes out of style!

[elorama]

oy! the real problem is that i remember that original hatfield vs. mccoy's cartoon on tv in the early 50's.

[Farrah300]

I saw the real cartoon too.  I like what CineGraphic did wit this though.

[margherita81]

stupendo!..grazie!

[178music]

Doesn't anyone realize that this is SPIKE JONES' ORCHESTRA CONDUCTED BY MICKEY KATZ? MICKEY WAS SPIKE JONES' ARRANGER FOR A LONG TIME

[ARoundOfApplause]

sad that yiddish is not understood by enough people to translate for us

[guitargirl4scrabble]

From the best Mickey Katz record EVER!!! It's on my iPod!
