Hey Goombadi!

[Arbaal]

EY GOOMBADEY!

[exoticblisss]

I love this song! If you don't know the words in english, well, like:)

[candylee01]

love it

[brooklynsmostbest]

I love this song!!!!

[greengreyeyes28]

I taught my daughter this song when she was 3, she's 38 now and we still sing it!

[34Packardphaeton]

I can't believe that nobody knows who this is singing here . . . or even ask who it is!

I know----it's Julius LaRosa!!

[goonboat]

great song and brings back memories of when i was growing up

[postdesrapides]

I love this song, my dad had this on old 78 way back in the 60-70's. It was very popular when he was a kid. I heard this recently in the Verona Restaurant in Alexandria, LA. and couldn't remember the name. The owner Tony (who is a gen-u-wine Italian) gave me the title and I decided to youtube for it. Think I'm going to run down the CD.

[jaxjags123]

Now if only this was how they taught languages...

[COCCOZ1000]

Thanks iorg

[Tommygun696969]

i love the fact that i have an italian backround! as my nonna would say to all of us "Goda Blessa you" (r.i.p nonna) but i gotta say i am so proud to have italian blood in me, especially when we won it all in '06 baby!!!!!!!!!

[fraroc]

This song makes me proud of the fact that I'm 50% italian.

[deemarieex0]

13 people aren't Italian

[peowski1]

We had this record growing up. My dad bought it for us. Brings back memories.

[BearyHairy]

I think our wonderful Italian friends have it right. We in the US work under stress levels that put many people into an early grave. There is a time to work, & a time to enjoy life in general. We Americans have forgotten about the last half of that. I lived in Europe and saw how they approached life. Outstanding attitude. Good wine or beer, good food, good music, good communication between family...living life as it is meant to be. Savor life & enjoy its treasures. Ciao! Peace. Bear

[exnemocpt]

@BearyHairy

Wow......great comment!!

[sukkel0012214214221]

thx, i have been searching this for a while

[ivory677]

Thank you !! This reminds me of when I was a kid every weekend the whole family would come over and listen to this among many other Italian songs.. They would sing play instruments along with the men playing this Italian finger game...Can't remember what it was called. Then yes of course the woman were cooking & that lovely aroma coming from the kitchen rom the whole made sauce and bread among other things. Thanks so much for bringing back the wonderful memories of childhood.....

[ivory677]

Thank you this reminds me of when I was just a child my Dad and Mom use to play this along with Pepino o u little mouse.... Wonderful memories

[ZodiacKillerSFPD]

[pomegranateb]

My god I love this song! My Dad listened to it over and over.

[zachari101]

italians are the kings of the world

[EnriqueHeindrich]

My nonni came over from sicily & my aunt was trying to remember the words to this song from when my nonno sang this to her as a kid (it was x-mas eve & she was a little tipsy at the time). I wanted to see it for myself. Molto Grazie!

[italianman1992]

this song will always remind me of my late grandfather. We put this on his funeral video.

[ItalianRacer7]

@italianman1992 Very endearing to hear bro. I think all Italian children have heard this song from their Nonni and it's a great part of our upbringing. God bless. :)

[flowerchildwannabe]

Reminds me of my Noni and No No

[flx789]

I love trying to sing along with this song

[brooklynXZBoii]

hes laughs a little right after he wiseles

[Midnight8112]

i was born in tiriolo catanzaro italia do not forget art music and fashion and many other stuff started in italy

[sguaraus1984]

@leeplus3 this is not italian language it's probably a mistification of naples dialect, and it is not italian

[leeplus3]

"Eh, Cumpari!" is a novelty song. It was adapted from a traditional Italian song by Julius La Rosa and Archie Bleyer in 1953, and sung by La Rosa with Bleyer's orchestra as backing on a recording that year. Shows just how much sguaraus1984 knows, the song actually originated in ITALY.

[sheisdaughter]

my grandma (Nana) used to sing this song all the time

[DanyNicola]

@1294pedro Actually 99% of them can't tell the difference between Sicilian, Neapolitan, Calabrese, Italian and broken English with an Italian accent. But all five plus the hybrids between them are "speaking Italian". Long story short, to the average American: Italy=Southern Italy.

Italy is narrow and long. From the northern German speaking regions to foggy Turin and Milan, from green Tuscany to Rome and down to the South. Italians from top to bottom really dont feel culturally bound.

[10000k2r]

Pourquoi " Hey Goombadi " ??? " Hey Compari " c'est ça le titre !! M'enfin !

[joselobo51]

@10000k2r

"...for all you nice ladies and gentlemen out there who don't understand the Italian language,

I used the British title."

[SickGypsy7]

@joselobo51 that's funny man ! nice post for sure , they just don't make these old Italian American hits anymore ,

[GiammiEvo]

your translation is in sicilian dialect; the italian correct traslationtion is: hei compare ci vuoi suonare? Che si suona? il flauto! e come si suona il flauto?... etc

[bigjerseydog1270]

@joselobo51 wrong song thats lazy mary

[bbqjt]

@joselobo51 Lol nice. lol he says British.

[nippiecirone]

@joselobo51 That's Lazy Mary.....Wrong song (:

[Tinymoezzy]

[Hannahtheevildwarf]

[Amtrak1194]

Every Christmas we sing this and Dominic the Donkey for the kids

[LSRPMerca]

I wish I was Italian sometimes :/. Instead I'm Irish.

[billy357magnum1]

Haven't heard this for years! when we were kids in the 50's my aunts uncles and my cousins would come from Staten Island to My grandparents house in central Jersey for Sunday dinner in the cellar of course, and my uncle Andy would play his guitar and they would sing along in Italian for hours and we would always love hearing this song!

[reemah011]

love itt



[ItalianWiseguy55]

Bring on the pasta, wine, cannoli & dancing

[Spike294]

@ItalianWiseguy55 Can't forget the pretty girls, who else am I going to dance with?

[blackheart58]

omg we use to sing this, pepino and lazy mary when my mother was still alive. she died in 1970. In the 80's when my nonna died we found a tape with all the songs on it. aaahhh this brings back mememories. I am second generation napolitano born in the us

[ladycplum]

[pinomass]

Ieri notte ho sognato Rosichella Sensi che suonava il friscaletto, accompagnato da Adriano col mandolino e Totti al saxifono. Ormai sono ossessionato!!!

[dahypero]

io sospetto che le domande per il concorso goombadi le facciano qui... nn ci capisco una bega di sto concorso... fancaulo

[xzn1989]

@dahypero Mah, io li sto implorando di concedermi 20 punti per simpatia, ma non mi ascoltano..... che Goombadies cattivi XD XD

[capitanamericaaaaaa]

Cristo è una droga!!! grazie org...

[jiddu1970]

bello che arriva allu friscalette progressivamente senza fiato, e il fischio sfiata. IOrg uber alles!

[xzn1989]

LOL, secondo me gli autori del video si chiederanno chi cazzo sono 'sti IORG! XD XD! Iorg è il web del 2016!!!!

[capsula5]

EHI MUNTARI!!!

ci vo sunari...

[bentoribeiro66]

iorg talmente avanti che guardandosi le spalle vedono il futuro

[KingAlly21]

Quelli di Iorg sono dei geni . Ma per colpa di questa canzone si sono fatti una nemica peggiore della Rube; la mia ragazza !!!!

[D4rkazzone]

grazie a quelli di iOrg per questa perla...

[Adjubei]

I.ORG mitici ad aver scovato questa perla...non mi esce piu dalla testa..la vogiamo a San Siro prima delle partite LOL...

[rhodigian]

I miss a refrain about vuvuzela.

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeee a vuvuzela!

Tipiti tipiti ta!

[NattyDoctor]

[asktomysis]

un saluto a tutti i goombadi interisti

[Pikkiomania]

PORCOIDDIO!!!!!!!

[mulliganmaisy]

Well it's the kid who brought the pride to the Irishman

[DanyNicola]

It's funny how Americans consider Italy being a big Naples and the national language of Italy being Neapolitan. They sometimes consider Sicily. They probably think of Milan as the capital of Fashionland and of Florence as the capital of Oldstuffland. And I look like Supermario. Just kidding :P

[MrNapoli360]

@DanyNicola It's very true. Now everyone speaks neapolitan dialect in italy. You actually have to travel to the inner inner parts of someplace else to hear a different dialect. For example in the region of sicily, you'd have to go into palermo just to hear someone speak a sicilian dialect. NAPOLI TOOK OVER!!!

[gort187]

@MrNapoli360 Are you serious? Have you ever been to Italy? ignorante ma tu nun saje nient' mo basta parla'......

[MrNapoli360]

@gort187 per tua informazione sono nato a Napoli e hanno viaggiato dalla Sicilia tutta la strada fino in Alberona quindi non mi dici perche e piu o meno vero.

Ma ancora il diritto di tutti, non solo parlare in dialetto napoletano il suo solo un dialetto molto popolare.

[LilTom895]

@DanyNicola i focus on Sicily the most

[ange1ify]

nice song!!!!!!!

[JMaldonado64]

Che bella canzone! E io sono messicano eah eah!

[DoYouLoveU2]

Know this song from the movie Godfather III. I like the Italian songs in all the 3 movies!!! Most of them sound so chearfull

[Shizuku333]

This song really makes me smile :)

[mocosthebomb]

Bellisimo!

[Ullarsskald1989]

One of Nonnie D'Orazio's favorite songs.

[gpapi34]

Molto molto bene

[xDteampower]

Siciliaaaaa :-)

[RavensCore20]

[agau54]

Absolument superbe! Merci de nous indiquer les paroles: ca rend l'écoute plus agréable.

[jusbefriends]

[simonstadin]

In Swedish: Vi bor på landet

[erluver1]

[a07002]

My Mom used this song to teach us kids basic Italian. It was also a great car-song -- By the time we got to latrompetta, Dad was ready to drive the car into a tree.

Thanks for the memories.

[LordJdt2000]

This is pretty dialect though! Siciliano..

[keysfam]

My dad - who wasn't even Italian - would sing this song. He's passed on, but it sure is a comfort song.

Thanks for posting it.

[jaramima]

Same with my dad on both accounts, God bless them.

[micheledifranco]

[palmagina]

[ThiagoStudio]

muito bom eu rii

[djflyingv]

The singer on this is Julius LaRosa

[ieguy3]

Thanks _ I'm part of the generation that lost my Italian once I started school because we thought to BE American meant we shouldn't ALSO speak Italian. Even when I learned Italian (Tuscani) in college, I found I couldn't speak to the folks because even though they knew 3 dialects, they didn't speak the "standard Italian". Thanks for bringing back some memories and also giving me a chance to pass some of this on to my nephews, etc.

[MultiPizzapizza]

Hey ieguy.....I have a similar story. I am Calabrese and my parent were born there and I was around the Calabbrese language all my life. However, I didnt understand that well or speak. I went to school in Genoa for the language and learned pretty good. When I went down to where my parent were born to visit family...I didnt understand shit...it was funny. Ho detto sempre...Non capisco dialeto di calabrese...parli con me in Italiano...che divertente! Didnt check spelling..hopefully correct lol.

[Wonka275]

@MultiPizzapizza My grandpa was brought up using the Sicilian dialect, but when he and my grandma went to Naples, they figured that they'd be fine but my grandpa had no idea what people were saying!

But then my dad in Brooklyn grew up around his side of the family speaking Calabrese! Hai bisogno di amare la lingua! E un bello lingua ma i dialeti e molto strano!

[MultiPizzapizza]

Ho dimenticato tanto in Italiano ma mi piace parlare. Allora...Ciao - buona fortuna!

[zz33zz3]

i remember this song on godfather 3 and how joe zasasa messed it up. so any way thanks so much

[italianman1992]

This was my Grandpa's song. Whenever we'd hear it we'd say "the Grandpa song is on!" I miss driving with him and listening to the old standards on the radio and hearing him sing along. We used this song for part of his funeral video back in February and at the wake, while we were praying, the video started to play on the computer (this was the first song) and we all tried not to laugh. Thank you for uploading!

[amicosempre2]

Always love hearing this and agree with the others before me regarding memories and thanks for showing the lyrics.

[duchesseagle404]

nice

[rdangelo]

This is the kind of song Uncle Vito always wants to sing with the band at weddings.

[evauptowngirl]

Thanks for posting this song .. my grandpa use to play it all time in car before he died.. brings back memories for me... so thanks

[rockerchick24783]

[Frankmt215]

@rockerchick24783 you sound like you have some Italian in you! I like the comment on the Godfather - Luna mezz' O mare clip, I saw the Godfather on the big screen recently, and that scene always reminds me of "la famiglia"! Nothing like an Italian wedding! haha

[jadrtr]

@rockerchick24783  Yea it is bc it gets everyone involved singing. :-) Anything Italian to say the lest equals vita bella.

[MoonchildMindaugas2]

@rockerchick24783 Yeah, and I think this is overall a very fun song at any time :D

I love this a lot!

[playgirlc]
