[Korea4Me]

This is my new theme tune. Sick of assholes in my life.

[rayjlawlor]

@Korea4Me Ah don't be like that, plenty of good men out there, just wait and see.

[yippitydodah]

i'm so tired....

[lightingcobra]

I love how she says "I'm not a rabbit" at 0:52

[micago62]

She was Hilarious in everything she did. Damn Sexy too. Her turn in High Anxiety kills me. Along with the rest. RIP MK

[micago62]

Hands down ,...The Funniest Woman in Movies-Sexy as hell too. Too Young to Die

[gregoryagogo]

Love it, at 4:57 as she's being carried out, you can see her totally laughing!

[gregoryagogo]

Absolutely immortal!

[ashproductions]

Beautiful, talented, AND hilarious.

The best kind of triple threat!

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

"I'm not a wabbit, I need some west..."

[Lanceisabeach]

madeline was SOOO talented!!

[momof3boys924]

She was hilarious in everything she did. I watch all her movies. Loved her in History of the World Part I, Young Frankenstein, and all others. And when she would do Barbara Walters in SNL... super funny!

[NancyPizzotti]

She studied Opera an look how fun she was....miss her so much.

[Zoroasterrrr]

@NancyPizzotti i grew up on her movies and comedy, she made me smile so brightly and I had a super crush on her, madly wanted her as a teen boy.

[mluiga]

@Zoroasterrrr Why not as a female striptease dancer?

[Zoroasterrrr]

@mluiga funny... I meant when I was young...... I think....

[hangingrock57]

The tall gentleman who walks on stage and gets kneed in the groin is Don Megowan...he WAS the Creature From The Black Lagoon...

[hotwok19]

Mel Brooks is quoted as saying that either as an actress or comedienne you couldn't beat Madeline Kahn. Anyone seeing this Marlene Dietrich parody of her playing Lili Von Schtupp would have to agree. Absolutely wonderful!. Hard to beleive she has been gone for over ten years now.

[dsindc]

@hotwok19 One of two of the greatest losses ever- the other being Gilda Radner.

[hotwok19]

@dsindc. Yes, & both of them died from ovarian cancer. Madelin Kahn at 57 &, even more sadly, Gilda Radner at only 42. By the way, there is a great comedy routine between the two of them that can be seen here on You-Tube. Check it out if you haven't already done so!.

[dsindc]

@hotwok19 Hey hotwok19.... Thanks for that ! I did not know of the routine the two did together and I will take a look. A million thanks for the info.

[CrandMackerel]

True comedic genius.

[StevesWifeCharlo]

Some quick romancing....and then a shower....---LOL!!!!

[JackCoxx]

Hi Handsome, Is that a Ten Gallon Hat or are you just enjoying the show?

[Rosaliemc]

 Love Madeline Kahn as the Teutonic Titwillow ~ Lili Von Shtupp

[milovy]

Most talented comedienne EVER.

[Sakumeikan]

Wonderful performance.Must be one of the best musical scenes ever.The German dancers behind her a marvellous.Never fails to make me laugh.Too bad Madellne died far too soon.The world lost a great lady.

[ikcinbaz]

hot and silly at the same time

[InweTaralom]

How did she sing in that low register without hurting herself?

[mudboots1]

She was so good in this and in all the Mel Brooks movies she was in. So sorry her career was cut short by cancer.

[crunchyapple111]

i love how she's trying to be sexy but it just kinda fails ;)

[SuperSundance7]

What a gift she had. Loved her in Young Frankenstein. Gone way too soon. RIP beautiful lady.

[Bovine1967]

Lilly Von Shtupp, the Teutonic Twat...

Awesome!

[cuoylyf]

Awesome!!!! Love Isis

[wblk]

I love when she run out of breath at 0:59 than pick the note back up. She takes a look to see if anyone notice. Classic.

[BlueStarCadet08]

Best line ever: "they start with Byron and Shelley then jump on your belly"

[flryan4]

@BetteDavisMimic anyway you cut it she was brilliant

[Garoco75]

RIP Madeline

[flryan4]

Absolutely the most brilliant female comedic roll in the history film.

[BetteDavisMimic]

@flryan4 this or Eunice Burns???  i STILL can't decide

[szqsk8]

"they're always coming and going and going and coming but always too soon, right girls?"

[AlyzabethMitchell]

[SheedaWood]

[GoldenChildBH]

So sexy.

[ClassicMovieClub]

"Im not a rabbit!" haha this is so great! Madeline is brilliant and i love Dietrich

3:19 haha!!

[karlvonl1]

She could put some mustardf on mein bratwürzt anyday:-D

[GrowingObsession]

This sounds like Tarja Turunen on crack LMFAOOOO

[kenabrams]

I see this and I realize that Lady Gaga is just doing Madeline Kahn doing Marlene Dietrich.

[ClassicMovieClub]

always the case somone from the present thinks they r being original when reli classic movie stars did it first and better lol

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

this is on the box set "Warner Brothers 75 Years Entertaining The World: Film Music" I had not watched this film in a long time, the audience loved it. Madeline Kahn was AWESOME on "Cosby"!!!

[phartsdust]

Madeline, this is funny but you ain't no Marlene...

[ariellejsa]

@phartsdust:

In the the interview with Gene Wilder, he mentioned that it was hard for Madeline Kahn (who was classically trained), to sing "badly," as her role called for... c'mon, it's Mel Brooks, man!

[Burstinwithbroadway]

She's not trying to be Marlene, just spoofing the genre

[calikent]

"Let's face it. Everything below the waist IS KAPUT!!!!"

lol love it!!!!!!!!!!

[YoknapatawphaKid]

Madeline Kahn is so brilliant! The singing at the 2:53 mark never fails to make me laugh!

[jwdundon]

for the sake of an ignorat 30 year old! whats Madeline Kahn's BEST song?

[IndyCote]

That's tough, and probably a personal issue. I love this song, always have...but one other that I've enjoyed very much is her rendition of Clarence "Frogman" Henry's "Ain't Got No Home" that she performed on SNL and a few other comedy shows. Just genius and shows how versatile her voice was. It used to be on YouTube...try looking for it.

[SUPREMEQUEEN09]

this bitch is flat and funny!! I love this movie and this actress is top notch in comedic timing. but that to be expected. most of these actors come from the same cloth as Carol Burnet, Tim Conway, Harvey Corman, ect ect. SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

[BoOmBaStiC84]

funniest song ever .... i piss myself laughin everytime as if it was the very first time i saw it!!!! ROFL LMAO!!! :P god damn it im exhausted!! best line in the song. :P

[filmfanatic99]

it's like she's channeling Marlene!

[normanthepig]

oh,God! When she just starts going, "aaahahaaaaahaaaaaa!"  ROFL

[SexyBambii91]

schnur bin so einsam und gelangweilt will sanft gekrault werden hab auch bilder

[rainlori]

Very talented people involved in the making of this. Thanks for posting.

(Just noticed that at 3:18 her hand misses the prop on the first go. lol)

[betsunosekai]

1:02

[netsurferx1]

"I need some weeeee *inhales* eeeeeeest!"

"Goddamnit, I'm exhausted!"

LOL!

[dananbethany]

You really have to see the Marlene Dietrich video You've Got That Look to really appreciate Madeline Kahn in this one!

[BetteDavisMimic]

sorry babe....the only thing those two vids have in common is cowboys and a german accent......i'll give that while Ms Kahn is doing a Dietrich-esque character....the scene is ALL HERS....she owns every note, every laugh, every maribu stuck to her outfit....i've been watching this scene since i was a little boy in 1973 and i STILL laugh....at MADELINE....not Marlene.....it's called comedic genius.

[ChickenUdderFish]

LMAO im watching it RIGHT NOW on tv. the sonh JUST finished xD i love this films so much ! lol

[theknightswhosay]

She's better than Farrah and MJ combined. Where was her two months of TV coverage?

[betsunosekai]

well she died 10years ago so yeah...

[GrilloJ123]

@betsunosekai =(

[theknightswhosay]

Yeah I'm so ancient (28) I remember.

[DorianGrey92]

theknightswhosay =pathetic

[crysjumar1]

Look at the beautiful thighs on that mama...besides have a wonderfully talented singing voice.

[onebaud]

A beautiful woman gone too soon. Greatly missed.

[crysjumar1]

seriously

[amcoca]

@onebaud

Yep. It's a "fwiggen shame". Such a talent. She always longed to star in the filmed biography of Judy Holliday. She would have been wonderful.

[wesleynicholls]

the lyrics are out of this world... simply too funny

[rblwoaclu]

lol never forget this ever lol

[doggies2709097]

when she says rabbit, or a word that sounds like rabbit, when my friend jokes, she sounds like that when she talks! hehe, val!

[MrAnders75]

The best song from this über-great movie:D

A burlesque Marlene Dietrich hahahahaha!!

[hippychik1313]

Golly I miss her

[gregoryagogo]

She will always have a special place in my heart... she's soooooooooo great!

[BardCoennius]

Mel Brooks at his best....

[lindirig]

She was at her best when she was getting banged by Frankenstein!

[Kurotsuki4]

The beautiful thing is that she actually had a wonderful voice. XD

It's a great shame she's gone.

[11777766]

"The Goddess of Desire" certainly had the power! Madeline Kahn was the best! R.I.P.
