[jessisings4life7]

[gerryu21220]

The audio is a full minute ahead of the video...

[Blackthorne369]

"She's a nice little girl. But of those girl the officers can have ém" "They got ém." "Well, they can have 'em."

[Blackthorne369]

I love Stew Pot. So very much!

[WSenator1]

There Is Nothing Like A Dame: You ain't lyin'!

[DXfan202]

this iz pretty awesome especially the guys part at 2:30

[Car27R1]

See the navy isn't gay after all! I would like to see the choir who voice overed this. Our choir does this better though.

[Fingolfin1394]

That bass is just awesome haha.

[OzBuckBear]

Sure, nothing like a dame, but I'll be quite happy to take a bunch of topless dancing men!

[jphilipgardner7]

and can i just say that it is really hard to whistle when you are focusing on not cracking up

[jphilipgardner7]

haha I had the mangoes line in our productions. so funny to burst that out.

[SpotxSpot]

We got mangoes

[imjunipernow]

Ray Walston is Mr. Hand!!!!

[RB1952]

South Pacific is such a great show.

This was made in 1958. Most movies wouldn't have had a black guy in the chorus. It ties in with the later song "You've got to be Taught" ,

[thespia]

Also, I think most companies of white sailors wouldn't have had a black guy, either.

[rdowg11]

i was on that beach in Hawaii before

[krazykatiekat1]

i love this movie so much! and ive seen this movie so many times! but the remake sucks!

[annalee12345]

I never knew a bunch of horny men can come up with such a good song and will so funny! :)

[botbagel]

Okay, now THAT'S HILARIOUS!!!!

[annalee12345]

South Pacific is great fun! :))) And this song is good fun!

[botbagel]

Thank you friend for sending this to me..I honestly don't remember ever having seeing/hearing this before!!!

[oxnerd]

they dont need dames they got each other...

[Nyandra]

I love this song.

[sukneh]

'There is nothing like a dame!' Almost proof for Intelligent Design, and that's a fact, jack.

[NotTehSuck]

Pause it at 2:38.

[georgiegirl999]

hahaha there is a BIG mistake in this video!! at 3:37 his top is done up, but then at 3:52 its undone!! then by 3:54 its done back up again lol!!

[oestfalcon]

Ha, you're right, good eye.

[georgiegirl999]

strange thing is that, this was the first time i have ever seen it!!!

[melodyfender]

@georgiegirl999 so what? you try making a movie 50 years ago!

[charice22]

dude at 2:24 sounds like the guy who does "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch"

[prreynolds]

Very good - the character in the movie is "Stewpot". He was voiced over by Thurl Ravenscroft, who did sing Grinch song. He was also the original voice of Tony the Tiger. He sang in a number of old Disney cartoon movies, commercials and other activities

[scriptum60]

@ charice22

The man who sang that song for "The Grinch" was also the voice for Tony the Tiger -- Thurl Ravenscott. He was thrilled to sing for that animation, too. But I don't believe he was baritone like the young man in "Nothing Like a Dam." Bass, yes, but not baritone. :p

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

Haha! This is great.

[Rheesoman]

lol look but do not touch.

[MsTruNorth]

twister, yeah, Ray Walston really adds to the film, even from such a small role. Walston is a very strong actor. He gets cast in interesting supporting roles (I suppose because he doesn't have candy-box good looks), but he endures and people always remember his characters fondly. He's turned up as recently as in Star Trek: Voyager playing an on-going role as the head alien of species 8471 (when they posed as humans). You always notice him, and you never forget him.

[WSenator1]

@MsTruNorth - Don't forget that he was the star of TV's "My Favorite Martian" as well.

[MsTruNorth]

@WSenator1  I still will always remember him as Billis in South Pacific. :)

[mattandheather08]

I like Sammy Davis Jr.s version better...

[MsTruNorth]

Stew Pot (the low voice) is the same voice that was used for Tony the Tiger in the cereal commercials of the 1960s (for those of you old enough to remember those). I don't know if the voice belongs to the actor we see on screen, but it's definitely the same voice as was used for Tony the Tiger.

[Suprkit]

He also sang in the holiday tv classic "How the Grinch stole Chrismas".

[BBBYpsi]

Who is the actual voice of the guy who sings the very deep part. That might be the deepest voice I have ever heard.

[EvaHuis]

Na-ah the deepest voice you ever heard is Kayafas in Jesus Christ Superstar, probably ;)..

[Bagheera23608]

I had to look it up on IMDB, but I was right!

Thurl Ravenscroft ... Stewpot (singing voice) (uncredited)

I can't believe I got it!

[twister444]

Ray Walston was fantastic in this who knew Mr Hand could sing like that... way to go luther!!

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

can't WAIT to see the guys at my highschool sing this in my school play this spring. X)

[shivaboyd]

God, this brings back such fond memories...when I was 16....I acted in this musical. AMAZING FUN!

[SERGIOP121]

That's cool! I'm going to that too.

[TheDavidb1000]

Stew pot can sing LOW

[PrayerWarrior4]

toe curling!!!

luv him!!

[tisreina]

One of my favorites...thanks for posting!

[rdadal]

Trivia: Sean Connery make his acting debut playing one of the sailors in the stage play in London.

[blummedia]

Doug McClure started in this film I think.

[shmoogle14]

Awesome! Could you please post "Younger Than Springtime"?

[wyllwy]

the song that made made hooked on south pacific

[superheromike]

oh yeah. how good it must feel to be a woman after hearing this. youre welcome.

[rdadal]

I would have loved to have been in the audience opening night on Broadway. What a tremendous song to treat the audience to as the first number.

[wickedphant0m]

This is actually about 30 minutes into the show.
