76 Trombones

[thatninja33]

While I like the older version better, I really think the only thing that the 2003 movie did better was ..... I wanna say Rock Island, or as I like to call it the Train Scene. This is a nice distraction but that's about it.

[MRshmorg]

thanks! I am singing this song for a auditiong for music man and its hard to find a good version

[subwayeatfresh45]

From 3:26-3:28 I saw a little West Side Story!

[12345lotr]

all i see when i look at him is ferris bueller

[inkpaw100]

I play trombone lol yay!

[monny287]

I watched this for the first time the other day, and had this song stuck in my head all day the next day. All in all, not the worst song to have stuck in your head. ;)

[antijedi1984]

Matthew Broderick is fantastic in this! As is Kristin Chenoweth. I am tired of hearing people say that they aren't Robert and Shirley. Maybe not but they did a stand up job and this version is MY favorite!

[koobz21]

i saw this version before the original XD

[Countryboy9852003]

Do you know where I can get this movie. I absolutely love this movie and can't find it.

[OJtheModerator]

I love watching this scene imagining there's no music playing.

[seangreag]

I really don't see why Disney needed to replace Mathew's part as Inspector Gadget. he did a really good job in that movie.

[JoeyTheBearJew]

im doin this for a play tomorrow!! IT FREAKING SUCCCCCCKKKKKSSSSSSSSSS!!

[sabe1234567890]

@JoeyTheBearJew when i did it i was harold hill

[McQDan2013]

This Harold Hill looks more like a pedophile than a con man...

[miker2001]

Broderick is pathetic. Preston was perfect for the role. It is utterly lacking in the energy Preston conjured for the role.

[WytZox1]

@miker2001 -- Besides the original had Colonel Hall, Mama Partridge, Buddy Hackett, sister Mary Lazarus and Opie in the cast. That can never be duplicated. The remake was a blunder; That's Blunder with a capitol B that rhymes with P that stands for Pool.☺

[FoxFacelives4ever]

NOOOO MY UPHONIUM!!!

sorry inside joke

[DarkBraelyn]

*Clicks and listens* No. You are NOT Professor Harold Hill.

D:

[therandomexample]

Matthew is doing a bit of a muted job of this. It's a good way of re-introducing the glory and grandeur of a high school, or any, marching band, at any rate.

[tundraization]

Yes, originals are usually better, but I also love this remake of this classic movie !!

I think Mathew Broderick did a great job in this remake !!

[ProCrastiVisionJRD]

Damnit, why wasn't MY school like this?

[WytZox1]

@ProCrastiVisionJRD -- It's like when we were kids and our parents sent us to summer camp and we quickly found out that real summer camp is never as kewl as Disney's SPIN AND MARTY.

[rwongusa]

This is a total crap movie compared to the original. Robert Preston was so much Grander

[Padpaw22]

its a bit depressing how many classic movies are being "remade" when they should come with an original idea instead.

[dempro95]

Hahahahaha. 1:38. Death stare from Mayor Shinn. Love it.

[cracksnappleprop52]

i prefer kristen chenoweth as marion, but this whole scene seems overdone. Matthew Broderick just can't carry the scene like Richard Preston.

[FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW]

2:44-3:42 is almost a whole minnute of an amazing Musical Score.

[FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW]

There's nothing like a brilliant Band Musical Number.

[No1SpeshalTV]

this guy sounds bored as shit and looks lost as fuck

[Chaosfire360]

One of these days I'm going to have to force myself to watch this version all the the way through and give it a fair chance. I can never get past "Ya got Trouble" before I start thinking, "Why on earth would I waste my time watching another version when I could be watching the master himself, Robert Preston???" I do want to see how the other actors compare. Though Broderick does a decent job I just can't buy the con from him. The Music Man falls apart for me if the con isn't believable.

[pielover570]

Hehe I love this song bc I play trombone!!!

[torchofice16]

i love this movie but at 5:06 the kids aren't supposed to have the drumstick that they are not using in the air

[kingbibo12]

@torchofice16 you mean the pencils?

[KIngdomHeartsluvver]

Matthew Broderick = AMAZING! I absolutley love this version!

[psymaster1234]

INSPECTOR GADGET ! :D

[Nicoletays789]

I love this snog

[cOrYoPhUs]

I know this is a musical, but it always puzzled me when everyone in the freakin room knew the choreography to his improvised music.

[Iplayforhim16]

@cOrYoPhUs man whats wrong with you. THATS WHAT A MUSICAL IS!!!!! wow man you are just sad

[cOrYoPhUs]

@Iplayforhim16 I know what it is I've seen plenty of them but they never explain that shit. And nothing is wrong with me I love the musical drama, that has just always perplexed me.

[zazudragon85]

trombones!!!!!!! yay!

[Poopingbotham]

I used to think that this was called 76 Strong Bones!!!

[tankmaster1018]

@Poopingbotham must be thinking of a porno spoof

[WytZox1]

@Poopingbotham -- The late great Allen Sherman parodied this as "76 Sol Cohns in the country club and a 110 nice men named Levene. And there's more than a thousand Finks who parade around thel inks, it's a sight that really must be seen."☺

[JBraggA7X]

Song is bad ass both versions. I thing Robert Preston did it better, but the newer version is not nearly as annoying as the first one.

[demilavatocam]

I love this song

[AntiYourFacePhD]

Is it just me, or does Mathew Broderick seem half asleep during this?

[IIISanCHEZYIII]

what is this mess.... this isnt The Music Man

[skikids10]

he is so hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[AllsterFalls]

2:32 the mayor(Victor Garber) looks like he is scared to death of a man and a couple of kids marching!!!!!!!!!!!lol

[mrssummit49]

this is always stuck in my head.

[julebug81]

I love this number! I think Matthew Broderick's boyish charm and sweetness makes it more believable why the townspeople fall for Harold Hill. Robert Presto comes around as a much harsher fellow although he most definitely is the better singer. Anyway, I love how the small kids seem to be having the time of their lifes dancing this number...

[cutamisraeli]

Why was the remake necessary??? You tell me? The original movie was wonderful--still is!!

[HenryM2126]

Great song I love this musical!!!

[CrystalLightning1]

damn

[nitroflamen]

I personally like the orignal movie, the actor here is to boyyish and to high pitch and it really puts off the singing

[guyy123ful]

@nitroflamen to boyish?? oh well i like it not as much as the old one but the tommy is not as gay

[xTheFlyingBananaNutx]

Why does everyone think Matthew Broderick did bad in this movie? He did amazingly! I am a huge fan of all his movies, and this one is closer to the top than the others.

[blackgenesis100]

there's one black kid when does take place any way never mind two missed one

[blackgenesis100]

there's one black kid when does take place any way

[ke7ejx]

I think they're both excellent. However, Matthew has one thing going for him. He has a boyish personality and look that I have always envision Hill having. Robert had a more serious and older presence.

[ILuvThunderclan]

idk... I like matthew and all but he doesn 't ever move his neck....

[sophierpg]

This movie has so many good tunes and dance numbers... this is one them!

[letpeacebe]

I love mathew broderick in this movie. He is so cute and adorable. Totally love the remake. Its so great.

[Scrapperton]

I like how it's totally new. Not anything like the old one and it takes advantage of it being a movie. =)

[TheYuriFreak]

Man, I am such a Harold fangirl, it's not even funny.

I love this number so much, though when we're practicing I forget everything...I am CLUELESS TOWNPERSON!

[fredastairefan]

The sets, costumes, choreography, music, and dancing is absolutely wonderful! Of course I think no one can match Robert Preston as the prof. but this guy does a creditable job! This is a movie? I had never heard of it! Thanks for sharing!

[sugar4585]

Yes, it's the 2003 disney release of The Music Man. No, he doesn't quite match Robert's... amazingness. I don't know if you've watched any of it, but a lot of people actually believe Kristin Chenoweth (who plays Marian in this version) actually was better than Shirley Jones. She did a fantastic job!

[littlesammyJ9]

@sugar4585

Kristin Chenoweth would be better than anyone at anything.

[WytZox1]

@fredastairefan -- And of course no one can replace the late great Buddy Hackett singing "Sheboopie."

[ikarikid]

@WytZox1 **Shipoopi

[WytZox1]

@ikarikid -- Thank you oh great spelling cop. I never did know the correct spelling so I just spelled it the way it sounds to me.
