    Madonna, The Spice Girls, Sheryl Crow, Lady G, Alicia Keyes - and all the Wailing and Whining Wimmin too numerous to mention in our cynical, tin-eared Corporate Age.

    Don't you just LOVE 'Progress' ?

  • @marvinc999 No, Justin Bieber

    *LOL*

  • @PattyPetite666 YAAyyy!! lol!

  • @marvinc999 Yeap.We "learn" alot from from all those "artists" and senceless lyrics...

  • Schöne Original-Aufnahme - danke

  • When did common culture become so impoverished?

  • Oh, Harry James... makes me swoon everytime!

  • I can't believe how much I love this.

  • I LOVE THE ANDREWS SISTERS! and yes i am 14 years old xxx

  • I absolutely love this song. I can't quite understand all the lyrics, could anyone tell me them ? ( I listened to this song over and over and can't quite get " all" of them.

  • excellent quality. thanks a lot :)

  • Shemp on bench!

  • beyond belief.

  • Rap is music? Really? It's not very melodic. It is in fact, the gutter outpourings of an inferior sub culture, accepted by idiot white kids who desperately want to be black. Go figure. It is the talentless performing for the tasteless and tone deaf. It has no merit whatever. I accept that many enjoy the pointless noise. It's their right and I wouldn't infringe on that right. But I'd not refer to is as music either.

  • The have on some very snazzy outfits. Love those dresses! XD

  • Is this from a movie or is it just a super early music video?

  • @cleaningagent101

    this is a scene from the 1942 film, "Private Buckaroo." LIke most of their films, not great, (their roles are pretty small) but worth seeing if you like them. They do a few songs, including a great one, "Three Little Sisters," which you can also find on You Tube

  • Hundreds of views on this video are from me alone, I'm sure. I love The Andrews Sisters and all their songs, but this is one of my favorites. <3

  • I can't even begin to express how great this is. People like the Andrews Sisters could be funny but never un-classy; entertain and at the same time create real, moving, lasting art.

  • 8 people aren't able to step out.

  • Barbara Streisand and Pete Townshend are Jews; Miss Andress is not one of the self-Chosen. Beside being a former porno actress helped Babs.

  • Can i have a time machine please.

  • LOVE them.....classic, classy ladies, all three. I am 21 years old and I can say I am greatly, greatly inspired by them. I sing their songs on a daily basis, this particular one being my favourite.... :)

  • This is proof that videos did not start in the 80's!

  • The Andrews Sisters ROCKED !!! :)

  • its so great singing this beautiful sisters!!! .espesially solo!! thx for all video!! v m! I SO LOVE THIS KIND OF MUSIC!

    THX A LOT!

  • epic shoulderpad action

  • @mysteryguest1948 It was the 1940's, you know, and that was the style! We saw it again in the 1980's, as you may remember. What's old is new again, as the saying goes.

  • awesome

  • I Have always loved the Andrew Sisters since i was young their harmony, singing words you can understand, and yes an era that was hard for them but made better for us, isn't it sad that they are no longer with us, well for now, it will be great when Jehovah and Jesus Christ Resurrects them so that they can give praise to him with their voices then?, whose to say.

  • By the way I have never seen this movie.

  • This is such a good message! I love this. It makes me so happy! Get to know a person really before you start marriage or getting into something incredibly serious.

    A good way to describe it too. And make sure you know your own feelings as well. :)

  • There is something unique about every culture. From the baby boobers era to this one and those old films have something unique about them that I like and I think draws a lot of people to them. This era is more about not so much the story I think as the technology that was used to make them. Some shows have such terrible plot lines I am surprised anyone still watches, but with such good writing and such a friendly cast, I am sure nothing could go wrong with these films.

  • I remember my parents dancing to this music.It brings back such good memeroies.i use to dance with my brother the jive & boogy.The good ole days.

  • OOps!!!! I meant the RIGHT SIDE! Sorry.

  • Anyone notice Mr. Shemp Howard? That's him at 1:36 on the left side of the bench.

  • Its from buck privates isnt it?

  • @shonshrinks - no it's from Private Buckaroo. The song's called That's the Moon My Son.

  • @TuberOnTheLoose Thank you very much! I'll watch this movie :)

  • when was this movie recorded?

  • @zoomlock The Andrews sisters performed this song in the 1942 movie "Private Buckaroo."

  • I swear theise girls remind me of the cafeteria workers when i was in teh 6th grade

  • man, i hope girls like these were still alive and young like they were in those days.. anyone of them could make me fall in love once and again every single time shed sing something to me... hahah lets be honest guys, we would had a bit of a pickle when she introduces us to her other sisters huh? jajaj

  • @Fanso85 Patty is still alive, by the way. Her address is public, get an autograph!

  • @UpgradedWorld I hope Patty has internet access to You Tube, so she can see the music they made and how it's still appreciated today by even young people!

  • They have so much Talent!

  • Maxene is foxy.

  • HOw can anyone rate this Video with thumbs down? I'm 24 years old but I don't get the music from these days, THIS is music! Wish we had songs like this in 2010...

  • @Biancafina We DO have songs like this in 2010. For instance, this very song!

  • Man, what a CLASS act!

  • Such talent by all. Harry James and his trumpet. Those Andrews Sisters were one of the finest female groups of all time. People were totally "real" in those days. Things were still much different than they are to today when I was growing up in the 1950's and '60's.

  • "Tonight you're going dancing, you dreams may get a start"

    I love how she sings that line. That's my favorite part of the song.

  • Gone are the days when people just opened their mouth and sang! Nowadays it's all about proving your vocal range in 1 minute by going up and down ridiculously and stretching out the notes so you can prolong your spotlight exposure. I appreciate voices like these way more than anything produced today and more people of my generation should seek out music like this.

  • @YouSirAreAnImposter i wasnt able to describe what i didnt like about today's singing, you nailed it. PREACH.

  • they're great:)

  • Shemp, at 1:38!

  • looooooooooooooooool

  • @joeypolanski Shemp had been under contract to Universal for many years until Curly had a stroke in 1946 and Shemp went to Columbia to rejoin the act he had quit in 1932

  • @Diaredd59 Yep. Shemp was the ORIGINAL 3rd Stooge -- grossly underappreciated -- and the only significant Stooge to have a significant career apart from the Stooges.

  • Wish this would have been my era. This is when America was America.

  • What movie ie this song from? Any One, Any One? Bueler?

  • private buckaroo (1942)

  • danke schön !

  • one of my favs

  • all I can say is 60 plus years later and still sweeeeeeeeet

  • @jlbsr1959 I agree.This is awesome.Women actually were dressed and and sang beautiful melodies.not like today,which you have to look weird or hot to call the attention..

  • como consigo la letra

  • I know that life is always hard, in every era. But these videos and the movies from the 30s-50s just gives me the impression that life then was more authentic, less jaded than in our time.

  • They certainly whined a lot less.

  • @mickeyqbitsko hahaha touche!

  • @cannuckistan yeah it was a simpler time...if you were a white male. Remember women were pretty much destined to be house wifes. And if you were of any other race ( black, hispanic, indian, ect.) you had NO rights, were exploited, belittled, lynched, abused and treated as less than human.

  • @cannuckistan At least, that is what the Andrew sisters make it look like. If you would be able to walk the streets of London where the labourers lived, the people who where payed so little and expected to work like hell... Read hard times by Charles Dickens (a genious in my eyes) and you will find 1) that you have read a masterpeace and 2) that life back then had its own jadedness that was really nothing less compared to our days!

  • @cannuckistan but also remember man, every era felt the same way, that back then it was better, and they were also searching for something new and better then before u know its a never ending cycle of how we live u know?

  • @cannuckistan As great as the music might have been... the authencity most likely comes from the despair of the times. War, financial crisis, inequality of gender, color, religion... it isn't a time one wants to live in.

  • @KittyIsAround

    funny, sounds just LIKE now actually.

  • @KittyIsAround Kitty, I do believe you just made cannuckistan's point for them.

  • @cannuckistan If u did not have TALENT!!! well no need to even bother about showing up. Today, talent is a long gone thing. Back then the singers didnt have auto-tone and other gimmicks to make up for their lack of vocal abilities.

  • @cannuckistan There was much more respect in every action.

  • @cannuckistan

    Actually the films created over this period were created as a form of escapism from the reality of daily life; containing war and financial depression. What has changed, hey? Pure classics are heavenly :)

  • @cannuckistan War tends to make things pretty authentic.......

  • I love this song.  Warning to guys about how dangerous we girls can be lol.

  • Actual talent, how astounding. No mixing, no bs sound effects. just real talent. actors and musicians had it back then. it is all gone now. country,( or what passes for it nowadays, rap UGH RETCH Makes me puke) all the same bag of crap. Get it away from me. Death to rappers.

  • True... no Antares auto-tune needed to make these ladies sound awesome.

  • i like both rap and swing, rap ist genius i think because they creat new music out of old music but they make something new, some of them are really good, and the typical crap you found @ mainstream is also there

    but i agree with you we need more talented musicans and actors -.- more culture

  • JochenBk - yes rap creates new music out of old music but so does every other genre. music is evolutionary.

    i agree rap shouldn't be criticised as much as it is though.

  • rap - taking slices of songs and creating new was what i mean, but you're allright, music is evolutionary like you said

    i think the problem is that people buy the crap of the untalented, popular musicans

  • @larrydh2 Thank you. You sound like a 'nice' person, saying 'death to' the only music genre today that has actual lyrics... stop listening to the radio, the entire Hip Hop community doesn't even like the rap on the radio. Next time, try to look a bit further. Rap has always been about the message and self-expression. Some people abused it...not our fault (Hiphoppers). Radio is commercial bullshit, don't listen to it. Peace (from a Belgian Hiphoppa; emcee and philosopher).

  • @larrydh2 Not everyone has the same opinion as you.

  • @Groovey26 ya and its too bad!

  • @larrydh2 you would really wish death on someone who creates different music than this? How shallow are you?

  • @pinkpinupmeow I believe he is being extreme to show his distaste for rap. Haven't you ever used the expression, "I could just kill such and such"? Heat of the moment and used for emphasis notto be taken literally ... I believe, then again I'm not him lol.

  • @Logan8967 I guess I am just more careful with my words than most people. lol

  • @larrydh2 You're making it sound like mixing and using sound effects doesn't take talent.

    As much as I love this music, it's unfair to call untalented whole genres. And kind of immature. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it sucks. They don't fail to make music (okay, some of them do, but not all), you're the one who fails to appreciate it.

    That being said, I love this song.

  • @larrydh2 dumbest comment ever. how can you wish death to human beings just because they do something that is not in your taste?

  • @DogLike86 I don't think they're saying they want the people to die. -_-'

    I think he means the style of rapping he feels needs to die.

  • @DogLike86 Maybe he's a klingon. "Death to the opposition!"

  • @DogLike86 How is wishing death to humans beings for whatever reason dumb?

  • @mmasny hihihhahahahaha

  • @larrydh2 Thank god for trance and techno. What it lacks for lyrics, it makes up for mix mastering! And gives us an alternative to ... country and rap crap. Plus, well, there's all the one hit wonders, and the old funky classic stuff and folk songs, all the way up to the 60's.

  • Priceless, wonderful !

  • The name of this song is actually "That's the Moon, My Son." It can be downloaded from iTunes.

  • the intro to this song has to be the coolest thing I've heard in a long while. So good.

  • is this song available ANYWHERE on cd??? :| I've been looking for it for i don't know HOW long!! :-)

  • if u find out plz let me know

  • I wonder what it would have been like o be there, It is a different world...Walk into the picture

  • cheyenne86 yes it is. I wish I lived in that world!

  • i love 1930s music. Back when everyone had REAL talent. and not just trying to make money and be famous..

  • agreed

  • Great song! Really talented :)

  • Real talent!

  • ppl play down the 30's and 40's perhaps 50's like it never existed....just like they are now saying M Jackson was the first! The first was Sammy Davis Jr. with the moonwalk....just wasn't called that

  • people were doing the moonwalk in the 30's

  • @jeffper2 Actually the moonwalk is the camel walk backwards- circa 1927-28

  • Thats real music, sung with heart. Eight to the bar man ;-)

  • they haven't. they've had more charted hits and top 10's than them though.

  • beautiful! she may not be the lead but

    LaVerne forever!!!!

  • @VadaMyrtle Laverne was older than the others and taught Patti and Maxene to sing and harmonize as she played piano. She was the creator of the Andrews Sisters and was the first to die in 1967. She also kept all the egos in check and when she died Maxene and Patti began their estrangement and never reconciled.

  • Patty is so attractive... I wish i would see more girls looking like that nowadays!

  • There aren't many people who can sing like that.

  • Dont think there are ANY people nowadays who can sing without electronic help. Its sad...

  • There are some wonderful singers today, primarily Broadway, who don't get much attention nationally. Check out Sutton Foster, she is a modern-day, old-fashioned star.

  • Harry James, as Louie Amstring, how they could play !

  • Memleketim

  • such an intense chill up my spine at 2:42

    omfg! it was sexy

  • i got a different type of shiver at 1:18 when i saw the older sister

  • Comment removed

  • I love patty so much her facial expressions are so cute and funny every time she sings

  • Comment removed

  • @apectin I thought it sounded like on of those mournful jewish tunes!

  • Amazing Song!

    I love they, and i have only 14 years old !

  • so?

  • Love the way they sing the verses.

  • who's playing the trumpet? he's legit. and, of course, the andrews sisters are amazing as always :)

  • Harry James

  • Thought this song was That's The Moon My Son

  • The great Boswell sisters that preceded and influenced the Andrews are all gone, as are Maxene and Laverne. Patty at 91 should be considered a national treasure. Why has she not been given The Kennedy Center Award for the Performing Arts? Yet, they have given the award to both Barbara Streisand and Pete Townshend.

  • i know.

    Patty is a forgotten legend. so much charisma and a very underrated singer.

  • Maybe under-rated now, but in their day, a sensation.

  • I'm just post war and have grown up with many styles of music. I love ALL music [except rap and hip hop]. Which ever takes my mood. However, i am often in the mood for the Andrew's Sisters. I think they are a marvel. Do they not have an award already? If not, it's a disgrace. They need recognition in a prominent place of legends...Now for a bit more of the Sisters before I go to bed...

  • they were a part of the first group of acts inducted into the vocal group hall of fame along with the boswells and the supremes (i think) but i personally dont think that's enough. their impact on music is extremely underrated.

  • I don't know what the highest accolade is. Whatever it is, must be re-assessed from time to time, surely? Present day good 'three parter's' are the Puppini Sisters from UK. They were inspired by the Andrew's Sisters and they ARE good. However, there's never anyone like the originals. I believe It's good that these styles are kept alive...

  • I like to play the Sisters late at night,the room in tiny light.The music n songs of these girls take me back to when myDad was young.He told me many things of those days,the war years[he was a MerchantSeaMan]I loved all he told me.He lovedAmericanMovies,serious + musical,thought they were tops.Andrew'sSisters werehigh on his list.They don't make m like that anymore,he said.He thought the Americans[he'dKnownMany] had 'joue de vivre'[I think that's the saying],a lust for life.Great days I missed.

  • @walt1896 .I get very sad,when I hear these old songs.I am now 82.

  • @demco271

    It's ok. Don't be sad.

  • @demco271 Don't be sad. There are many of us younger people who appreciate your generation and what you did for us. And the Andrews Sisters are part of that great tapestry of that time which feeds and enriches our souls to this very day on YouTube. God Bless You, honey and may you make 100!!

  • k was just joking.

  • you know the shoulder pads are coming back in style

  • no they really aren't

  • Everything comes back :-)

  • Not shoulder pads

  • I wouldn't be too sure about it *gg*

  • Well I'm sure Yankie.

  • Heehee... France... zéro points! :-)

  • dig those shoulder pads!!

  • love the Andrew Sisters would never say a bad thing about them.

  • The name of the movie is called "Private Buckaroo", 1942. I have always loved this movie! It's funny and has a lot of Swing! I LOVE SWING!

  • Great!

  • does anybody know which film this from i know they were in many abbot and costello films.

  • So talented and classy!!

  • love the andrew sisters love all kinds of music except opera

  • Yeah, I love all kinds of music, especially opera, so there. =P
