  • Bing Crosby is my favorite also!

    I am proud to be a big fan of his, and I am only 46 years old and not from that time!

  • Bing Crosby is my favourite singer in the world! He has such a wonderful voice. Thank you

    Xxx

  • love it! :)

  • The talent in this video will NEVER be duplicated ..... The one only Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters priceless !!!

  • Too many supposed entertainers in todays world, think that they have to provoke, shock, or indoctrinate instead of entertain.

    They wear their thin skins on their sleeve, and have gotten themselves to believe that they exist to bring about social engineering, instead of making people happy.

    Why do you need to project an image that looks like you just came out of a science fiction movie, when all you have to do is show you have talent, not get publicity by your sordid social life and politics.

  • @sunshine45986 perfectly said! Sadly, we have completely lost touch with life as it actually is, and we don't use "Love" as "life's ointment" anymore, and instead we bitch and moan about the "VERY SAME ISSUES OF LIFE", you know taking "lemons", that our older generations accepted and turned into, "lemonade",as they say! Well, we that are aware must cling to their ways of handling life, and be an example for the young inexperienced ones!

  • This song is awesome

  • Thank you, karavadossij, for posting this PRECIOUS video! Love & peace!

  • Time was, women didn't have to rely on slutty clothes, plastic surgery, or acting like whores to be sexy. Case in point: Andrews Sisters.

  • Simply adore it.

  • OOHH! I watched this last night because I have the DVD. The movie was so hilarious. At one point there were three mexican dudes, and I think Bob (or Bing?) said "Oh now we have The Andrews Brothers, Patty, LaVerne and Pancho." And Bing said near the ending when he beat down this villain he looked directly into the camera and said "That's what you get for not watching our films!" then winked. Hilarious movie... you guys gotta watch it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @beyoncetyratina i found your comment LOOL =D

  • @MrClassicDoctorWho

    AHAHA! You found me :)

    LOL... if I wasn't so scared (hint hint.... embarrassed) I would post a LOT of comments on this video. And you just gave me access... so thank you! LOL :)

  • Bing and the Andrews sisters, it does not get any better then this. the Choreography is magic. Its a bygone age, we will not see the likes of stars like this again.

  • bob crosby!!

  • I love them all. I enjoyed this.

  • FANTASTIC SONG BY THE BEST!!!

  • fine song!

    Thanks for posting!

    Aloha from Hawaii!

  • I'm always glad to find people who has treasures like this one and share it trough Youtube. Thank you so much.

  • Although we often look at the past through rose colored glasses and gloss over the struggles of yesteryear, in a lot of ways this truly was a much simpler time. This is the height of the era of the blue-collar worker, when a man could earn an honest days pay for an honest day's work, and not only support himself, but support his entire family on a single income, pay for a nice house, a fine automobile, and still afford to take his family on vacation every summer.

    I was born in the wrong year..

  • Nice song, I love it! But id rather do without 0:00 - 0:13

  • I don't know why they used to talk so much about Brazil those days... There are thousands of songs and movies in the 40's about Brazil. Even Disney created a special Brazilian character and launched a movie in which Donald came to Rio.

    I think it's all because of the war. US finally got Brazil to their side, "fighting" as humanitary mission in Italy... I think it's all related...

  • Rio was the place to be at the time. It was the tropical paradise of that period of history.

  • @LabakiTurbo It was probably because of the war AND Carmen Miranda!

  • Maybe also because it was so exotic back those days. Many people were not able to go on vacation and they loved to hear and see stories about thos tropic locations, known as the paradise.

  • @LabakiTurbo It was a part of the Pan American movement in the 1940s to unite the Americas in the face of the war threat from abroad. Even in high school papers of the era you see stories and editorials about kids visiting from South American countries, language festivals and assemblies and the like. Artists such as Andy Russell and Tito Guizar toured a lot.

  • a great comment by frank sinatra when asked what was left for him to do . he said .

    to be as good as Bing

    said it all really

  • they used to sing together and they were simply amazing!!!

  • Classy people. When did women get so crass?

  • @stucknad Around the same time men stopped being gentlemen.

  • @ladyvee7110

    you said it perfectly.

  • the 60s and 70s.

  • @stucknad Around the time when rock n roll was the next sensation in America

  • can anyone sing better ?????????????

  • Snoop Dog, Eminem, and all the other I wann be a nigger rapper. I am kidding of corse, Bing was the best. His singles prove it. And he was never afraid to share the spotlight either.

  • great stuff!!! Wish I was alive back in those days....love old-time big band stuff! Then again, I like these times cause we can have this cool stuff on youtube now...

  • I remember watching this movie on TV when I was a kid. I've always loved Bing and the Andrews Sisters both together and separately, and this was always one of my favorite songs they sang together. In fact when I was a kid, I used to hate it when it ended. What I really like about Bing and the Andrews Sisters singing together is how smooth it sounds with him doubling with Patty on the lead. It just sounds so right!

  • the andrews sisters are better then the lunchladies thats for damn sure

  • Wish someone would post the "you're telling me routine from this movie. Classic!

  • I'm from Brazil - Rio - and this is funny. They always get Brazil and any other SA country mixed up.

  • im doing the 40s for my school concert!

    im doing boogie woogie bugle boy(andrew sisters)

    music music music, and swinging on a star

  • Bing is certainly one of the greatest musicians ever !!!

  • Comment removed

  • if you like to see how everything started with the movies watch *BIRTH OF CINEMA* in youtube and enjoy.

  • This is from The Road to Rio--they recorded many wonderful songs together.

  • i dunno i just liked bob crosby better

  • ;) Bing Crosby, Bob Hope

  • Do you want me to transcribe it?

  • All the girl singers now is tits and arse!

    and the lyric is awful!

    and the boy singers are weak and submissive!!!

    soooo boring!!!!

  • I love the music of this generation better because back then you actually had to have TALENT. As apposed to now where all you need is looks and nothing more. xD

  • @Asiandude113 Dont fret :D There are still talents out there :D

  • Its amazing where we are now in this world... Mostly moraless, talentless, and tastless. This is real music!

    I would love to of met them in real life...

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe all the stupid people will die? Lol just kidding you're probably right.

  • @Anubis454545 Moraless? Are you aware of what happened during the 1940s?

  • @VictimOfBoredom I am very aware. But compared to what happened AFTER the 40s... Such as the "Sexual revolution" in the 60s, and not to mention beyond that... I don't think ANYTHING in the '40s compares.

  • @Anubis454545 Well, there was that *one* minor incident called the Holocaust...

  • @VictimOfBoredom As there was many other terrible events later on in the following decades. But, if you'd REALLY like to use thosein response to my comment which was refering to musical tastes are what-not then we can go on forever.

    Fact is despite WWII and whatever Hitler did or whatever racial-tendencies the world had, Pre-60s (America more specifically) was a MUCH more clean, & safe society.

    But yes, that "little" incident called the Holocaust makes the 40s a HORRIBLE decade for music.

  • @Anubis454545 Lynchings were still going on in the 1950s—as was segregation. And let's not forget the forced relocation and internment of over one-hundred thousand American citizens who happened to be of Japanese descent. Oh, and there was Operation Drop Kick, in which the government released millions of mosquitoes in low-income neighborhoods to test the spread of yellow and dengue fever, inflicting hundreds of residents with fevers, respiratory problems, stillbirths, encephalitis and typhoid...

  • @VictimOfBoredom You seem to have a very big bone to pick with this era, which makes me wonder what caused you to watch & bother to comment on a video that has two of the 40s great musical talents. You can go on forever if you like on all the horrible things that occured during the 40s alone. I don't care enough to argue about wartime policies or atrocities during the 40s, I'd rather enjoy it's music & good-points, not argue as you seem to want too. And don't worry, as I enjoy, I won't forget.

  • @Anubis454545

    "Its amazing where we are now in this world... Mostly moraless, talentless, and tastless."

    My problem was with that outrageously ignorant comment—not this music, which I quite like.

  • @VictimOfBoredom Well, PLEASE forgive me for not mentioning that despite the great music in the '40s, that is was also the decade of the WORST and most terrible atrocities this world has seen! I will definitely remember to include that in all my compliments of the '40s!

    Seriously... You pick through the comments to nit-pick my comment which is a year old? I respect your feelings about the Holocaust and what-not, and I feel bad too, but come on... Just appreciate the music & stop nit-picking.

  • @Anubis454545 Just appreciate where we are now in this world & stop nit-picking about it.

  • @VictimOfBoredom I just seriously don't know were you get off thinking I am oblivious to the Holocaust & the lynchings and whatever else. Don't pick fights. Unlike you, every other rational person who watched this inturn appreciated my comment (hence why it is second top-rated comment) Try making a comment that benefits the video, or even others instead of an aggresive one that starts something.

  • @Anubis454545 I was just annoyed by a needlessly negative comment. Sorry if me taking offense to your offensive comment offended you.

  • @VictimOfBoredom As I was just annoyed at being called ignorant when I am sure you could tell I didn't mean the comment in a rude/ignorant manner.

  • @Anubis454545 To be fair, Bing was, by many accounts, a cold man and a drunk whose wife and oldest sons all followed the same path.

  • Comment removed

  • Magical.

  • The first song of the Andrews I ever heard was a parody by Morecombe&Wise with Leonard Rossiter. It was a version of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" which is a great song - and made for a very funny parody :)

    It's probably around on Youtube- they were very good comediens after all :)

  • That's some really fine singing!

  • this is wonderful,i have had the track on cd for years but never imagined i would see it on film! god bless you!

  • thanks for your comment, I knew this would be a hit on you tube

  • Thank you for uploading this great video! Just wonderful

  • Cannuckistan you said a mouthful

    , and they came from a Greek immigrant dad, and a Norwegian mother, their voices were perfectly attuned , never to be equalled  Jimbo

  • From class to vulgarity in 3 generations.

    What they had then we'll probably never get back again.

  • thanks BP Waddell, Amazon. com is loaded with many Andrews sisters originals, digitallized of course, Incidentally , the name Waddell is very common in Glasgow, best of luck to Y'all,in 2009  Jim

  • Jim, I am glad to see this on you tube, what great harmony.. my daughter loves the Andrews sisters, but boy are they hard to find on DVD. p.s my mother was in Belgium during the war and her brothers were in the resistance.. what stories I heard..

  • Wayne and all others , this is Cavaradossij, thanks for your kind comments, I carried a torch most of my young life for Maxene Andrews, i sent that pic i had taken with my Gals, to you tube to see if they will post it, taken August 16 1951  jim

    now 75

  • @cavaradossij

    You were an admirer of Maxene and you took a picture with her? If you did that is soo cool! Or am I reading what you said wrong? Wait... I read something wrong, never mind.

  • My favorite number of any they filmed. The Decca Record was a big hit. In an era when singers stood in front of the microphone period, the Andrews Sister's stage shows always involved intricate choreography and lots of comedies and fun asides.Much of what the Supremes later did in their performances was derived from Andrews Sisters pioneering.

  • love the song!!!!!!! =-]

  • I remembered the song but not the film it appeared in. Thanks for the posting and the memories!

  • Wonderful!

  • beautiful!

  • Oh, I've been looking for some Andrews Sisters for a long time, that you can see on computer. Well done, Cavaradossij - keep them coming!

    Fantastic! Brilliant! No adjectives, just a pure treasure. Thank you my friend.

  • What a wonderful living encyclopaedia on the Andrews Sisters you are, Cavaraossij. I've always had a special love for the 1940s and the Andrews Sisters. Patty was kind enough to sign sheet music I posted on 3 separate occasions. I've read through all of these comments out of interest and would love to see that pic of you with them. My deepest sympathies to you over your wife and well wishes moving forward. US ex-pat in Britan here and loved the Glenn Miller Festival at Twinwood this year.

  • I miss their legendary feuding...

  • A truly great moment in entertainment. It would be grand to have those days back again.

  • how do i download this i watched this for my job and i loved the songs all the songs are good in this and there actually funny by todays standard

  • He was.. i mean IS a sensational singer(:

  • haha

  • ahhh.... Bing Crosby was so talented! Him and the Andrew Sisters put together was just icing on the cake!!

  • great message!if you are a woman I should love you

  • the andrews sisters... a gift from god to ole bing !

  • This is my favorite Road picture. This is one of the reasons!

    "Is that the good one?"

    "No, this one."

  • Amazing! Andrews Sisters were great.

  • t came after them have nothing but praise for them, Maxene being the shortest was always classed as the prettiest of the three,but the most scertive to

  • You'd never get Girls Aloud or the Sugababes with harmonies like that!

    Or that well dressed for that matter!

  • the andrew sisters are funny

  • Does it get any better??????????

  • great movie, what was the name of it? enjoyed it very much. before my time

  • This HIT was from the movie: "Road to Rio".

  • How cute.. Bob Hope is in this vid too!

  • Thanks Junkieland, very nicely put , by the way the girls were all born in Mound , Minnessota, A northern suburb of Minneapolis, last year a new walkway was built to commemmorate them called

    'The Andrews Sisters' walkway

  • talent rose as cream once, today there is talent, it's just the milk is infected and sometimes we get rancid performers at the top, whilst excellent entertainers miss out..here is a great example of quality..what did one guy write..."it reminds me of being a boy" touche doc...sure does

  • Bob Hope A lifelong Friend of the Andrews Sisters, read the Eulogy at Maxene's funeral

    "She was much more than a part of the Andrews Sisters, much more than a singer, She was a Warm and wonderful lady, who shared her talent and wisdom with others

  • Great stuff. Reminds me of when I was a boy.

    Thanks. M.B.

  • Anvilofsteal you give my esteam a good boost, I had lunch with all three in the central hotel Glasgow, Scotland on Aug 16 1951, three months later, I was 'Invited' to join the British army and spent my two year stint in Vienna , my favourite was Maxene the cute little brunette

  • i have to say, they have to be one of the most talented sister acts ever. Also, they are all fairly good lookin and cute personalities. If i was around back in the 40s, i'd have tried to nail all 3 at once.

  • Thanks darling delovely, i am 74 and have loved the Andrews Sisters since their first hit 'Bei mir bist du schoen' in 1937, when I was four

  • i'm 19 and i love the andrews sisters. :) this is so cute! thanks for posting!

  • I also enjoy the Andrew Sisters. One of my favorites of their's is: "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."

  • LOL at bob hope on the trumpet!!

  • Wally on the other hand is not doing too good. He had pneumonia twice this year, and spent a month in the hospital in Jan. Then he relapsed in March, and was in the hospital for 21/2 months

    2nd part

  • I already told Patty about u. I was talking to her yesterday about the fact that in Nov it will be 70 years since Bei Mir

    part of the email

  • Please congratulate Patty on the 70th anniversary of Bei Mir Bis Du Schoen and thank her for my lifetime (I'm 54) of being entertained by the Andrews Sisters.

  • Sure, I will!

  • Congratulations also, to Patty. They gave us so many priceless moments. Every blessing to her in her 90th year.

  • That would be great to see :)

  • cherfansmiling you are 100 per cent correct, Maxene gave the impression that she was a tough little beauty, but she had a good business head, and heart of Gold

  • so to round up the story i met a user named pieboy26 who is patty's adopted daughter and this is true, because I got Patty's autograph, saying "To ellie, from Patty Andrews". So It all happened by mistake, (which im glad it happened) because I asked a question and she answered it, saying she would ask her mom, Patty. this is true. I have a present day pic I will try to pass along. and i have her adress. There is a bit more but I cant fit it all. Ill try to post her exact words here. =-)

  • Ellie I sent my email to you, but youtube blocked it, they dont allow email exchanges

    lol lol lol

  • OK, so when I was a kid growing up in NY, I too loved "The Andrews Sisters" That was in the 60's, and at that time it was also not exactly cool to like them.

    part 3

  • cavaradossij, did you get the letter, that she sent me? It is the comments with the part 1 part 2 part 3 comments.

  • maxine rocks in this!!

  • tell me all Ellie

  • oh cavaradossij, i am so sorry for you and your wife. I will try to send my email to you. I can give you some info about Patty, I know of her adress, what she looks like, and how she is doing. I guess you can say I kind of keep in touch with her. Reply, and I will tell you everything I know of.

  • Ellie did you know my wife of 47 years died last friday Oct 5, unsuccessfull heart surgery same as June Carter Cash, I sent my email twice but youtube cut it out

  • this is from ROAD TO RIO from 1947...absolutely love it..thanx for posting!

  • ellie i sent my email to you did you get it

  • no, i didnt. i guess you should try posting it here. if u want mine, ill send it to u

  • ah yes post ur email here. we both have a frend lock i think, so we cant send messages.

  • sure ellie send it on, where you ever a fan of the world famous pointer sisters?"

  • well, ok, but i cant post it on utube, because i dont no how, but i can email it to you. whats your email?

  • Hi, cavaradossij. Did you know Patty has a daughter on youtube? Its pieboy26. im getting her autograph. I can show u a pic of current patty. i have one!

  • HEAR HEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • No one comes close to over-shadowing these wonderful girls. I discovered my "girls" when I was seventeen. Now I am 51, having met Maxene and corresponding with Patty along the way. Patty, Maxene, and LaVerne will NEVER be forgotten. A 30 year career? It is unheard of today....I know my life would not have been as colorful without THE ANDREWS SISTERS!!! YOU GO SUSTAS!!!!!!

  • u met them, laverne37? omg!

  • Another lovely record from THE BEST!!I have been a fan of theirs for over 30 years now and never tire of hearing their music-pure genius

  • So, it's just a rumor, right? Ok. I read that at the Andrews Sisters' article on Wikipedia. Happily, there is a note warning about the lack of citations to reliable sources, therefore quite invalidating the text. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding on my part (My English is amateur, so I hope not have said anything that could be implyed as an offense). Thanks for answering, caravadossij.

    P.S.: I love this vid ;)

  • Gato Pardo, i am aware of the rumour of suicide attempt by Maxene, until we can arrange email exchanges, then i will send my pic when i was takes with them in 1947

  • Well, as a curious fan, I wanna ask you a question, caravadossij... I think you posted somewhere that you met the sisters personally and I hope NOT being offensive... So here I go: It's true that Maxene tried to kill herself once?

  • Also I started to like the Andrews Sisters very recently. I've heard them in "The Chronicles of Narnia", singing "Oh! Johnny, Oh! Johnny, Oh!" and it was "love at the first listening" (I've never heard anything about them before). Then I started to research about them and became a real fan.

  • i heard their first big hit on BBC radio, in 1937-1938, when i was five, it was such a great song I began a life long love affair with the girls, and still am

    at first i thought the title was 'My dear mrs Shane' and my mother asked for the record as such, but the sales clerk knew what she meant

  • wow. i heard of them through an old cd i found. i listened to it when i was younger, saw the sisters, forgot about them, watched it again a couple of months ago, and remebered and liked them.

  • elllie101rules..your the sweetest. thanks for the tip on where to find some songs by the Andrew sisters, I'll give it a shot. And thanks cavaradossij for posting this video. The song is really enjoyable...=D

  • thanx how r u u r soo nice tjstardom and u 2 cavardossij. =D

  • ellie, you can look up the Andrews Sisters Movies or records on the net theyre all in there, priced from $4 to $24,Unfortunately they are all black and white as Universal were a bunch of cheapskates in those days,I just bought a two cd disc of treasures called "Now Now is the time' wonderfully remastered

  • Ah, sorry i wasnt here i was on vacation, i had a nice time. thanks for the tip. were you a big fan of the sisters growing up?

  • Wow!!!

  • I love Bing and the Andrew Sister's they are just great!

  • hey Guys THe Andrews Sisters are back on with Dino, muchos gracias you tube

  • Really! Good. Im very happy to see that you are posting another video. I dont know how. Do you know how? Ive never seen Buck privates either, so that will be good. Is it a good movie?

  • Ellie10rules, sorry i didnt get back to you, sooner but i couldnt get into my own comments for some reason, i have asked the guy who posted 'You dont have to know the language' who lives in Calgary to post, 'You're a lucky fellow Mr Smith' which was the main theme of Buck Privates, so i just have to wait, he is a very busy man, and i sont wanna make a pest of myself

  • no coins ellie, since i was 10 I collected 78 RPM's , i had over 300 when i came over here, i put them all on cassettes, and gave them a way to a young Canadian soldier, recently as from a youn g boy he wanted them, and none od my kids showed any interst in themi

  • no records, but i wish i had some. all i have are some cds. do you listen to them alot?

  • sorry ive been gone, are you going to post another video on youtube?

  • I can sing several songs in Spanish

    'Amapola' and 'Quiereme Mucho', and i have the Karaoke cd from the internet for 'Tien Sera' popularly known in Englis

    as 'Sway'

  • I can only speak spanish. Thats cool. I have a coin collection with coins from all over the world. Do you have a coin collection?

  • yes when i was 18 in 1951, i was conscripted into the British Army, to serve 2 years, In Vienna, Austria, which was then an occupied country, like post war germany was, best two years of my life, I learned German, Romanian, Russian and Italian, i was a proud soldier

  • wow, i only know engilsh and spanish. is german hard to learn?

  • she just had a malignant tumour removed from her bladder, and if that is successful she will have open heart surgery, and that should make life easier on her, for better or worse in sickness and in health

  • Im so sorry. I hope she recovers. Have you ever been to Europe?

  • never been to Nova Scotia, my wife has a bad heart, so I miss out on a lot, but i watch documentaries a lot so I know more of Canada and the States than many of the residents do, Newfoundland did not join Canada until 1949, so although it is Britains oldest colony, it is Canada's youngest province

  • Wow, i am so sorry for your wife. Is she doing well?

  • Canada,is the coldest, yet the warmest, in the middle of the country like your great plains, the prairies are table top flat, I found the utopia I was looking for here, there is no difference, between great plains Americans, and prairie Canadians, living in the USA you have every thing that you need and want, I never fly anymore, since 9-11, the crazy weazels responsible for mass murder are still out there

  • Have you been to Novia Scotia? I read a book awile ago that mentioned Nova Scotia.

  • Yes, I have driven all ov er the usa and more recently by bus, to Chicago, I love Chicago, and ive been to Cleveland by bus too, i've been eo Minneapolis many timesm and the two Dakota's an d Indiana, Cleveland , Ohio was the place i was supposed to go to when i was emmigrating but a job offer came up in Winnipeg
