Dick Van Dyke is AMAZING... To have the ability to remain 4 beats behind the rest of the dancers for the first half of the scene is truly Breathtaking.... LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is simply nothing else that bears comparison in all film musicals! Chitty stands alone! Score, lyrics, costumes, dance routines, story - all absolutely brilliant! No other musical of the genre is so much fun, nor so amusing for ALL ages! Every song is memorable, ... and Dick van Dyke in this role is truly, as they say, 'a legend'!
I'm 23 now, and this was one of my all time favorite movies growing up. I always enjoyed the older stuff. Still love this movie, it never gets old (in my opinion). :)
Exactly! I remember when I was little, I'd get our broom and try to do this dance. I thought it was the coolest thing. Ha! Let's just say it never turned out well. :-P
I also loved the doll scene with 'Truly Scrumptious' on the music box. I was always singing that song in school and none of the other kids ever knew what I was talking about.
One of the reasons I like this musical period is that the screenplay was written by the author Roald Dahl, the same guy the wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
@SamirEscoto Yes Samir, Roald Dahl & Ken Hughes wrote the screenplay from the book written by James Bond Author Ian Fleming!
Also Directed by Ken Hughes and produced by Albert R. Broccoli who was co-producer of the James Bond series of films, also based on Ian Fleming's novels :-).
@SamirEscoto hmm i havn't seen this in awhile, hmm what other movies are good to watch from that period (i am 18 now, i only remember chitty chitty bang bang, merry poppins and charlie and the chocolate factory)
You know what I love about dick van dyke? Hes a fantastic dancer, but doesent over do it in a gay way like most musical dancers (im not saying that as an insult to other dancers, its just the act much more feminen onstage) Van Dyke is able to, some how, be graceful, yet retain his manlieness. look at the faces of the backround dancers in this vs him and tell me he is not the coolest, most in control dude on set?
One of my all-time favorite movie musical numbers, and Dick Van Dyke's best ever. I always wondered, what happened to the bad-haircut guy who was out to get him? He just kinda disappeared...LOL
The performers in this ought to get more credit than they do. There are some very long shots in this which could have been ruined by even one person making a small mistake. 1:38 and 2:23, for example.
@BlueThunderFlik Agreed. They were amazing back in the day! They could sing, dance, act and all of it in very long shots! I'd like to see most 'actors' and 'actresses' do that nowadays! Back then they were so talented.
Its Supprising How Many Funny Looks you Get When You start Doing This Dance On Town Street. So Many People Were Suprised When They Found Out I Was Only 14
lol, watching this with my friend last night, first time in years, he said they were saying the "old man blue", i was like nooooooooo, its the old bamboo but i hadnt seen it in so long so i had to come on here to check....phew, what a relief, i was right after all
@k3vm4 As everyone has told you your so out of touch on this one K3vm4, this was the original made in the late 1960's, Family Guy was started over 30+ years later!!
@dragonson04 Statistically-speaking, that gripe about declining intelligence is actually BS. IQs are actually rising. They frequently change the IQ tests so that the average person measures at 100 points. If today you scored 100 on a test from back then then you would be considered slow. I do agree with you regarding musical tastes.
@TheCoolchris99 Didn't live up to his end of the bargain. I vote we all give him the thumbs down. I, however, am a musical theatre major. If I find a spare moment (over Christmas if nothing else) I WILL record myself singing and dancing this IN COSTUME (if at all possible) and post it on Youtube. I'll probably fail epically, but what the heck. These guys sure didn't look they'd care about failing, so why should I?
@TheCoolchris99 Um, hello, you already have a ridiculous amount of likes! Maybe you shouldn't make promises you can't keep? Until you actually post something, I'm thumbing you down.
@Buttee1 I hate to upset your story but Dick was not drunk when we did this number so this is not a true legend. He was on heavy pain killers as he hurt his back when we did the toot sweet number but he was not drunk.
Seth MacFarlane is a harbor of the age of class to this age's youth, Never again will there be a (insert actor here), but Seth MacFarlane immortalized him/her.
It's sad that the only way people will even get the samallest taste of this kind of music is having to see it bastardized in a filthy cartoon. It just shows how far we've fallen as a society.
@mankind2112, it seems like whatever I look up any classic clip on Youtube the comments are *always* like, "LOL, I seen this on Family guy!!!11"
It makes me really wonder why Family Guy even exists or why it's popular. It seems like it's only function is to make references to other works of entertainment, stuff that's better than it could ever possibly dream of being. But the audience eats up the references. It's like the cartoon version of those "Scary Movie" movies.
@mankind2112 first of mankind i never knew this song even existed.... When i seen it on family guy i was laughin... I didnt even know anything bout this song until this time right now when i cant fall asleep n i was flippin through HBO n came across this song then i thought of Bag of Weed... I dont think FAMILYGUY didnt do anything WRONG with this song... Seth did it for fun n its a catchy lil beat... So plz dont have a cow bout it...
@rainwalker93 Production companies don't like great talent and excellent storylines very much these days. Both cost more than they're willing to spend.
I loved this WAY before family guy...it took me a while to recall where family guy parodied this from but then a quick google search confirmed my suspicion...good stuff!
I once read an interview with Dick Van Dyke and he said that this was the most difficult dance number he ever attempted. At the time this scene was filmed, Van Dyke was 44 years old and the other dancers were between 20 and 22 and he had to keep up with them. You'll note that at one point in the dance, Van Dyke runs off the stage and allows the younger men to dance. In one far shot, you can see Van Dyke cheering on the dancers from the side. He then returns for that unforgettable last riff.
i love how in the movie he learns the dance perfectly in like 20 seconds xD
my favorite scene is this one and the doll on a music box. i love this movie and im just a teen, so i guess you don't have to be an old fart to have seen this :D
I actually saw some Broadway reenactors at a fair in Charlotte NC about 14 years ago doing this routine..... FOR THOSE WHO DON'T REALIZE..... IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS! But seening someone who knows what the hell they are doing, bamboo twirl, get all the song words right, feet in sync, and the harmony on point while dancing HAS MY RESPECT ANYDAY, HATS OFF TO U BOYS!
@Leatherbubba It's hardly a rip off. Also he doesn't write songs, Walter Murphy writes original music for Family Guy. The fact is that there are some brilliant songs in old fashioned musicals like this.. taking this song and making it about legalising Marijuana is just funny. And it's a frickin awesome song. Again you're wrong to say he's just ripping off music. This is a really famous film to boot.
@Leatherbubba um McFarlen DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG!!!! he produced it but believe it or not it was actually Dick Van Dyke and the screenwriter who wrote the song. McFarlen produced it and did the choreography to the song. Now, the songs "Toot Sweets" and "Chitty, Chitty, Bang Bang" THOSE HE DID WRITE, but not "Me Ole Bamboo". Don't mean any disrespect or anything like that u r just a little misinformed, but it happens no biggy :):):):):):):):):):):)
@Leatherbubba He told in an interview he got inspired by early musicals/movies.. And if you thinks he's talentless, try to make 3 succesful tv-shows yourself..
@Leatherbubba well man, you may not like it but there are a lot of people who enjoy both songs. oh and do you have any idea how hard it is to write a song. and then its harder to write lyrics to a song that is already made and you just substitute the lyrics, id say thats harder. its also clever and he has a lot of talent.
The great thing about this movie is that the musical numbers mostly don't detract from the story, they serve it. Like this scene could have been some non sequitur which never gets mentioned or never contributes to the film but in fact because of the dance, he gets the money to buy the car and so the musical number is justified.
@AtoZ0to9123456 Actually this movie was made a few years after Mary Poppins, with a quite similarly themed storyline. In fact the same song-writing duo wrote the music for both, and you can hear a lot of similarties (Step-in Time and Ole Bamboo in fact). In Poppins van Dyke attempted a cockney-esque accent that was laughably off base (to this day he still jokes about it). So (I assume) for CCBB they just bagged all pretense and let DvD be his natural self.
@themangakawolf I grew up listening to this song (basically watching the movie a lot) and Family guy got me thinking, "Oh... what was the original! I know this one..." then looked it up and remembered! lol people just don't dance like this anymore- it's pretty sick!
@themangakawolf also sad but true...I'd say "someone's gotta bring it back" but I'm pretty sure in this day and age of Michael Bay explosions and drama, nobody wants to see people dance anymore B/
Amazing song. I have to hand it to family guy though, for re writing this masterpeice into a song about weed

I would very much like to meet Dick Van Dyke. I think I might like him to teach me.

Are the lyrics "But what we do with an old bamboo makes everybody queer" or am I mishearing things?

I wonder what this song would be like of Dick Van Dyke never walked into the tent, and didn't do the song.

Did Macfarlane ever write a song that was not a rip off of an already existing song? talentless bastard.

@Leatherbubba Yea, he writes his own songs, hes a singer

@Leatherbubba It's hardly a rip off. Also he doesn't write songs, Walter Murphy writes original music for Family Guy. The fact is that there are some brilliant songs in old fashioned musicals like this.. taking this song and making it about legalising Marijuana is just funny. And it's a frickin awesome song. Again you're wrong to say he's just ripping off music. This is a really famous film to boot.

@Leatherbubba um McFarlen DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG!!!! he produced it but believe it or not it was actually Dick Van Dyke and the screenwriter who wrote the song. McFarlen produced it and did the choreography to the song. Now, the songs "Toot Sweets" and "Chitty, Chitty, Bang Bang" THOSE HE DID WRITE, but not "Me Ole Bamboo". Don't mean any disrespect or anything like that u r just a little misinformed, but it happens no biggy :):):):):):):):):):):)

@Leatherbubba He told in an interview he got inspired by early musicals/movies.. And if you thinks he's talentless, try to make 3 succesful tv-shows yourself..

@Leatherbubba well man, you may not like it but there are a lot of people who enjoy both songs. oh and do you have any idea how hard it is to write a song. and then its harder to write lyrics to a song that is already made and you just substitute the lyrics, id say thats harder. its also clever and he has a lot of talent.

The great thing about this movie is that the musical numbers mostly don't detract from the story, they serve it. Like this scene could have been some non sequitur which never gets mentioned or never contributes to the film but in fact because of the dance, he gets the money to buy the car and so the musical number is justified.

@AtoZ0to9123456 Actually this movie was made a few years after Mary Poppins, with a quite similarly themed storyline. In fact the same song-writing duo wrote the music for both, and you can hear a lot of similarties (Step-in Time and Ole Bamboo in fact). In Poppins van Dyke attempted a cockney-esque accent that was laughably off base (to this day he still jokes about it). So (I assume) for CCBB they just bagged all pretense and let DvD be his natural self.

Thumbs up if you knew and love this song before Family Guy
(p.s. i also loved the Family Guy version too, it was funny)

@themangakawolf I grew up listening to this song (basically watching the movie a lot) and Family guy got me thinking, "Oh... what was the original! I know this one..." then looked it up and remembered! lol people just don't dance like this anymore- it's pretty sick!

@themangakawolf also sad but true...I'd say "someone's gotta bring it back" but I'm pretty sure in this day and age of Michael Bay explosions and drama, nobody wants to see people dance anymore B/
