Chicago- Razzle Dazzle

[RosinaRedVines]

When we sing this in my school's production of Chicago, we have to "act like bagels." It's quite entertaining.

[Katybug1337]

Thumbs up if you're hear because you think the movie (or the play) kicks ass!

[mandapyt08]

Politics

[bubblytar]

Thumbs up if you're using this song as an audition piece!

[OMGTKKYBDx]

Who's Trixie? I'm here because of the fact the musical was awesome -.-

[g4gamer2k9]

@OMGTKKYBDx She's a character from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

[JakerK017]

MLP SUCKS DICK. THANKS FOR RUINING ANOTHER GOOD THING, ASSHOLES.

[tophorius]

@JakerK017 Now how exactly did bronies ruin this song? I don't see how they did anything to spoil it by simply commenting on the video... overreaction much.

[RossMarlow]

*Sigh*

Guys. Look. Nobody fucking CARES where you found this, the fact that it was used in Ponies the Anthology, that it was used to a Trixie thing, and NOBODY wants to give you a FUCKING THUMBS UP.

If this shit continues I will give you ALL THE FUCKING "RAZZLE DAZZLE".

[blackgirlanimefan15]

The reason why ponies are related is because of this amazing video

Ponies: The Anthology.

Enjoy.

[PointsofData]

Pft, ponies. Why am I surprised.

[jasenator1]

Oh wow. Ponies are literally everywhere now aren't they?

~yay

[RainbowGymShoes]

So confused as to why My Little Pony is being talked about on a Chicago video :/ :S

[darthteej1]

@RainbowGymShoes It's a video called Ponies: The Anthology. One scene features The Great and Powerful TRIXIE's parts to this song.

[zanthimos]

Nope, I don't think of Trixie from My Little Pony when I hear this song. Honestly, I think of sadness and death. I like this song but despite my best efforts, this song sounds like something you would hear at the end of an old mafia movie. Like maybe during a silent montage moment where most of the main characters are gunned down one by one in some sort of gangster style last stand. Just as the last one hits the dirt the credits start rolling as this song finishes. But that's just me...

[Atheist10]

When will somepony make the PMV for this?

[druvirus]

@Atheist10 Already was done, a little, during the Pony Anthology video. Done to, of course, Trixie.

[Atheist10]

@druvirus I know, but I want the whole song and separate, like what was done with Spike's Esteem.

[triton62674]

seen it on children in need in 2011

[01743pedro]

who is Trixie???

[Archimonde259]

@01743pedro A unicorn magician from My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic, who refers to herself as "Great and Powerful", throws shows with lots of flashy effects and boasts about her powers.

She's more than a bit of an asshole.

[Shultzy999]

I like this song, I've always been a fan of chicago, but as a younger child I really didn't get the meaning behind this song. I took it as a simple metaphor for the character when in reality it's a statement regarding true art and showmanship... It speaks volumes in just a few minutes :)

[SagaciousSilence]

@Shultzy999 It's not only about showmanship, but about all of human discourse. Of course this is especially present in law (most lawyers call the American justice system a circus), how well you can perform will play into how well you do in your career and with socializing. Are you a good actor? Then you'll do wonderfully in interviews, you'll make professors love you and earn A's, you'll get promotions in your job, etc. Knowing what to say and how to say it... is the most important talent ever.

[Shultzy999]

@SagaciousSilence I agree with you entirely :)

Your thoughts mirror my own, you described it differently, but essentially that's how I feel about it too. I just focused on one aspect of it (one that I enjoy thinking about quite a bit) People are susceptible to deception, and a bit of flash can make it rather easy to deceive a person.

[SagaciousSilence]

@Shultzy999 Exactly, because all anyone knows is what you show them :)

[SebbyLikesMen]

Sweet Jesus, Every time I go to anything that was in the Anthology, the comments are filled with Ponies. You guys make me so proud :)

[FireJigglypuff2310]

And then ponies took over the video.

[XLacayo92]

Ponies the Anthology....making bronies all over the world learn more of things like Koyaanisqatsi and Chicago.

[panic0in0paradise]

AUChaChIChoOoga

[eXAKR]

Trixie's theme song?

[TheGrandLier]

I like how bronies are taking over the entire youtube. It's apropriate... somehow.

[xTelha]

A theme song for the media. 

[palidan99]

What the hell, did someone make a trixie PMV with this song? Oh, it was ponies the anthology right?

[Creelian]

Did he just say "You got a bromance"?

[Fefedefefessle]

i am a brony. AND THIS IS MAH JAM!

[123SuperFred]

@Fefedefefessle HELLS YEAH!

[PageoftheMIA]

i sug this at school it was hilarious :)

[Peacegirl82323]

FUNNY VOICE THOUGHT!

[khfanboy666]

Yeah, this song fits The Great and Powerful Trixie so much XD

[darkwolf6052]

I'm just a bagel?

[itsfable]

Ponies.

[runelover2k7]

@itsfable F$CK YEH

[Sunoco]

I can't stop listening to this song.

[VeryCrazyDaisy]

Thumbs up if Ponies the Anthology took you here!

[zoebiflap]

WHY IS THIS SONG SO DAMN CATCHY?!?

[zoebiflap]

WHY IS THIS SONG SO DAMN CATCHY?!?

[CaptianAwesom]

Song that went through my head when my Law Proff (and fellow students) compared me to the Godfather. . . People will believe /anything/ if you play them right. . it's true.

[TheNightcloudHATER]

this song is stuck in my head! It wont go away! I keep humming it, singing it! D: Someone help me!

[SugarKatie]

razzle dazzle... isn't that what Hollywood is all about? It's all superficial, no substance or talent.

it's good that they give this song to a hollywood outsider (Gere) to sing!

[Alexc3217]

Wait... how did political stuff get here?

[Alexc3217]

Did the great and powerfull Trixie bring any of you here?

[TheBricksterable]

@Alexc3217 WOW. Lol

[LaromZenshin]

@Alexc3217 I was 99% sure there would be a comment like this when I got here :D

[helldropper]

@Alexc3217 Of course. She's a mistress of Razzle Dazzling people.

[Darkiesmistress]

@Alexc3217 she did but i liked the song before this. c:

[EvansRowan123]

It says something about politics as a whole when this song has to have a warning about political discussion on the video.

Also, something something something Great And Powerful Trixie.

[BubblesGarcia2012]

I have had this song stuck in my head all freakin' night...I love it but let me sleep.

[Barmyandlight]

This amazes me... I heard this song a while back and presumed it must be an old classic from the 1930's, 40's or 50's. They really got the retro feel right.

[Primarywatch]

Very nice love this movie

[sirinterweb]

thumbs up if ponies the anthology brought you here

[gamefreak391]

@sirinterweb

This song is a little TOO perfect for The Great and Powerful Trixie.

[sirinterweb]

@gamefreak391 yeah. saw a comment on the episode she was in. (yes i watched the first season but it was the only good cartonn ive seen in a while all the others suck). it said quote "maybe trixie could use her magic to stop reffering to herself in the third person"., that comment made me laugh.

[procrazedfan]

I was thinking of this song during the Casey Anthony Verdict

[undeadwarriors]

I love Chicago, but i hadn't heard of this song until i heard it in the PONIES: anthology video

[floridaman2000]

i looked for this song cause of peter popoff that dprjones did lol

[ShunkawakanOkawingha]

True to honoring that old and noble tradition of political and judicial corruption in Chicago, this song is epioc

[shedog100]

i used to sing this in the shower...........i still sing this in the shower

[Foreveracapella]

ahh! I'm doing this song for my audition for summer stage! :D

[Puchigardiechan]

lol, we're singing this for choir, but our moves are a little dirty~ <3

[MultiDan112]

People probarly wouldn't have mentioned any political views if you haddnt brought them up

Lol

[Wisprsinthedrk]

I don't mind his singing. Besides, his voice suits the character he's portraying.

[FearingFeenix]

This song describes the Clinton presidency haha

[Ambitiousstar]

Explains my life :)

[xxxNxLxxx]

To everyone who says he cant sing think of it this way he's "razzle dazzling" you with the song to distract you from his singing. This song is basically saying give people a front, a fake you so they wont catch on to the real you. He's giving us a bunch of catchy words to make us think he's great even though he cant sing. Lol thats what I thought anyway :P

[brianabubblegum]

Love it

[EpicMovieFan96]

Charlie Sheen's song

[TwinzTwanz]

Ummm, I think by bagel he means plain. Just a thought here lol.

[vslayer15]

@saychinqua What's BP?

[Dancing0Em]

@vslayer15 The oil company whose rig exploded, sunk, and leaked oil into the Gulf of Mexico for over three months this past year.

[weemadtommy]

@Dancing0Em *rim-shot*

[lizzy462]

@vslayer15 What rock have you been living under not knowing what BP is?? :)

[iforgotaboutyou]

I have a belly button.

[piedenification]

@iforgotaboutyou omg lucky...

[Joehand87]

lol what do politics have to do with this song have to do with politics? it would be quite a stretch to connect this to our current situation with any politician; although, i suppose there's always some nut that can lol.

[Baseball17fan]

9 people didn't give them the old razzle dazzle

[RJungBroderick]

@Baseball17fan Ya! Richard babe, give them the old razzle dazzle, show them your first rate sorcerer you are !

[Megamel99]

"You're just a bagel"? I guess nothing else rhymed...

[Pcktmouse]

@Megamel99 Bagel is sometimes used as a slang for Zero, so maybe it meant "You're just a zero?" I wonder if Richard ever questioned that particular phrase while he was singing.

[Megamel99]

@Pcktmouse Lol I wonder. I love this movie and I love the soundtrack, but that line hits my ears the wrong way.

[Laura7AndSavanna4]

@saychinqua ?

[Laura7AndSavanna4]

why couldnt i live in the 20's???

[JeessiieeeLovesYou]

chicago gets me hot.

phahaha

[Laura7AndSavanna4]

@JeessiieeeLovesYou LOL mee too

[dougfancy101290]

I used this song for my audition for my school musical.

[XxMissNoNamexX]

This song is just me. I work so hard on my appearance (I litterally glitter my light pink hair and put pearls in it) but inside, I'm just awful. I Razzle Dazzle people everyday. And I just loooove pretending I'm nice. Ha.

[greeina]

ok the cd is much better

[DarrbieGirrl]

razzlr DazzlE!!!!

[r0c87]

The play on broadway was incredible

[smurfyboypauluk]

[JUNEBUG754]

@Dancing0Em why r ppl talkin about political stuff?

[werodeyuma928]

my cousin danced tis song on her sweet sixteen

[backupholmes3234]

beautiful : D

[reilly500]

If my school ever does a production of Chicago (probably not because of the themes but a kid' can dream) I'd love to play Billy. Especially when I got to sing this song.

[aaronchristopherr]

@reilly500 My principal wants us to, but out director's like... No, there's a bit too much... not clothes. I want to play Billy, too.

[natalieswanson1]

this is my friends balttey class song

[ScaredOfCats]

Catchy tune

[Radculas]

Such a wonderful song! It's like made to teach you how to live modern life successfully ahaha

[Veggieman87]

I would love to play Billy Flynn at some point in my life, but I'm not nearly good-looking enough.

[Dancing0Em]

I'm sure many people would find it quite funny to see the President perform a song and dance number (;

[Christinalicous1]

@Dancing0Em ..LMAO!!!

[Vasiliosx2]

gotta love Richard Gere.

[Sweetstuff888]

thanks!

[Sweetstuff888]

[will0wamber]

[JO74561]

[leinawerdna]

I can't stop singing this song! So great...

[ProfessorStiles]

The song to my life, unfortunately.

[Nyxlave]

@ProfessorStiles Hmm... and a Professor. A total coincidence, I'm sure.

[sweetlittledemongirl]

Doesn't get much better than this, people. lol!

[junniebear49]

[kibazenia]

I think Richard did a great job in this movie like in Pretty Woman. Wonderful actor

[246ms13579]

I agree!

[Citan1981]

@kibazenia BUt he can't sing for shit.

[moviegurl16]

@Citan1981 hahaha he's not horrible :)

[bunniesinmyhead]

Haha wow....I'm really confused...is the male who is really hot Richard Gere or Obama? Because it isn't quite prevelent if they are commenting on our convo and it's R.G.

If they are referring to Obama....let me go throw up.....

[Dancing0Em]

Hahaha, I legitimately laughed out loud when I read this.

[hannahwicked]

Gah Lol.

XD

[elphabarules69]

i think he's hot!

[MissClariceStarling]

Very hot!

[bunniesinmyhead]

Laura ingraham who is a talk radio host is already using it for his theme song....

[km2435]

i want to "thumbs up" both of these comments a billion more times, but it just won't let me. how unfortunate.

[bunniesinmyhead]

haha!!! look our comments are negative!!!

[craziigracii]

mmm. I'm doing this for Chorus (:

But its REALLY slow, therefore a pain to make choreography for.

[sart6]

wow

[tightgurlie]

im doing this in chior only its an all girl arrangement

[TruthinTheWind]

love this song

[reneenov17]

he has a funny voice lol but i like it

[nitemarebydesign]

I really think he was exagerating his voice so it sounded more like the male singers from the 20s and 30s.

[Ellythrion]

Yup and I dont think it worked personally.

[HeartPainsCandyVeins]

hes sexi so who cares what he sounds like lol

[LozMac33]

Great song, could be written about David Beckham

[RawrnessRawrful]

Rofl ^_^

[babolsaaaaa]

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

RAZZLE DAZZLE DOOOOOOOO!!! :-D

[lotrloreman]

[DemyxDance555]

I think a lot of people agree with me that this is a good song, Dallouez.

Don't be a moron. :/

[DemyxDance555]

If that's so, I commend his great taste in music.

[Beef354]

Just went to a concert with the Christchurch City Chorus singing this, 100 women... AMAZING sound!

[ooshiepoop]

Fantastic song, but I hate Richard Gere's singing voice. I prefer James Naughton and Jerry Orbach.

[kasanatheangel]

[NolitaDenise]

Is it just me or is he singing through his nose?

Oh and not to step on toes check out Ben Vereen's vocals in Fosse.

[hanniballecter3]
