[kakashixyamato]

i love this movie and song, BUT! Katy Perry Brought me here! :D 

[harryspooner]

WHAT A MOVIE :)

[mccurryburg]

racist Jimmie Davis, bought the rights to this song and rode the fame from his recording of it to be elected governor of Louisiana twice. i remember my father singing it to me when i was young, i had no idea of it's uglier side, at the time

[Yourfrontallobe]

@mccurryburg Does it really matter who owns the song? 

[commando2224]

=].............

[piechildofyore]

This is me and my mom's song. :)

[arkitekt2006]

Well, it didn't look like a two-horse town, but try finding a decent hair jelly.

[TheModernRiot]

My mommeh sang this to me and my big brother. i'm her sunshine :)

[steveo96100]

[DoktorPaj]

[andersonrobert959]

@DoktorPaj no im not swedish :p just american

[DoktorPaj]

@andersonrobert959 sorry I thought so couse Anderson is the most common swedish family name.

[samastonmusic]

I remember this was my grandpa's favorite song. When he died, at his funeral, both my brother and I are musicians, I played the guitar while he played the melody with his French Horn. One of the most emotional moments as a musician/person I ever had.

[ratpunk333]

bless the South!

[warchildren1]

Everyone has their most favorite movie. Mine is this movie and sound track. Has been from when it came out!

[nan33mar]

I believe this soing was written by Governor Jimmy Davis of Louisiana.

[Halabackgirl1]

at my cousins weddin they sang this song but a lil diffidently

You are our Maddie

our only Maddie

you make us happy, when you make brownies

you'll never know dear,how much we love you

please dont take our brownies away

[LycoValleyRRFan]

@Halabackgirl1 Nice.

[Halabackgirl1]

@LycoValleyRRFan ikr! i thought it was real sweet

[oday0manaseer]

please don't take my sunshine away <3

[1234MECK]

my grandma used to sing this me to me all the time:)

the other day i showed her my ipod.

i said to her "you know i have alot of your favourites"

she said " well i bet you dont have You Are My Sunshine"

i responded "oh grandma, you should know i would...."

and i played it and we sang it together:)

i love my grandma so much....

[HamNCheezeNLuv]

@1234MECK This is my favorite you tube comment of all time.

[1234MECK]

@HamNCheezeNLuv Thanks! It was a really cute moment we had together....

[MustangWinsEveryTime]

@1234MECK <3

[wassssssssup245]

@1234MECK that for having the balls to say that:)

[jguitarz1]

Grew up on this song as many did,and then realize that it is about the guys wife cheating on him and left him for another man.Things aint changed much since then.

[atrahan100]

I really like this classic song.

[EllBelmont]

HAH! Only 13 dislikes!

[dmclk1946]

I love this old song. My mother used to sing it to me in the late 40s. It reminds me of her.

[KaoruLuva13]

It's just amazing that most people don't know that this movie is based off the Odyssey. I loved the story and I love this movie. Every song that's in it makes me want to sing a long with it.

[siobhansdaughter]

@KaoruLuva13 what 's more probable, referring to the lack of knowledge that movie based on the Odyssey, is that they don't even know what the Odyssey,

[StormyWeather37]

I sang this to my great grandma say she layed in the hospital bed dieing from cancer. She was role model and still it. This is for you Granny<3 God bless your soul<3 R.I.P 8/26/10

[cherwhit]

Parents have been singing this to their kids for decades. Nothing new...

[sylvio1788]

12 people are really stupid !

[ASheary]

This song is really sad

[jim44086]

@ASheary uy r stupid

[ForgotMyPasswordFuuu]

What is with with all the parents singing it to thier kid? Actually listen to the words and you will realize how sad this song is. Strange thing to sing to a child...

[saiyangirl22]

my mom would hold me and scratch my back when i was little, and she would sing this song till i fell asleep XD

[Coraliepluie123]

My mother was signing that to me when I was a little girl..

[Master100Mind]

This is actual version to the movie?? Wow I love that movie!

[Antiunfunktasticize]

The soundtrack for this movie is probably the only one released in the last 40ish years that I can listen to start to finish without skipping a track.

[AliceElphabaWonka]

this song is so emotional. omg

[turtle2087]

great music from a great movie

[mangawhio1]

The title is misleading - this is NOT a happy song! But it's one that every (western) person knows. A classic version by one of country's greatest flatpickers.

[mrhjio88]

it piss me off when people put funny comets on song like this look at outher vison of this song this virws know what this song is about

[persevere4]

Recently heard a widow of one our (America’s) fallen ask in the interview if she could sing a couple of verses in her husband’s memory as this was “their song” - our soldier had fallen and she sang this as she said he would always sing this to her, she did so with two little tots in hand – damn these Wars – I seen we lost another yesterday when will these wars ever end why do we keep going on??? Who Profits???

[reesiewolf]

How come every country person can sing this song PERFECTLY :3 Love this song >w<

[08DENMAN]

I used to think this was a happy song but now I realise it is a ballad about a lost love. Like lots here it reminds me of my younger days.

[vuanui1]

Hay quá !

[sheloveless29]

this song make me cry cause after almost 15yrs i can really only rember my grandma sing this to me i just hope her brain tumor continues to heal

[beaux72401]

@sheloveless29 I hope she gets better, too...

[sheloveless29]

@beaux72401 thank you

[brownie6649]

I sang this to my husband as he lay dieing

[Telelikeitis]

@brownie6649 You are an Angel.

[frozenfirez0]

@brownie6649 really sorry to hear that, could'nt' help crying, though a very sad situation but i think 1 of most appropriate 1 to sing it for somebody whom u love.! may his soul rest in peace.

[MrAskkmee]

If you don't like this song, kiss my ass.

[fastman266]

@MrAskkmee Amen brother! I agree! Mine to!

[mayaharrison1]

i was watching the movie and i knew this song sounded familiar.. I remember my mom singing this to me.

[supersnakegtr]

im a damper dan man..

[SuperFablefreak]

@supersnakegtr im a dapper dan man

[68winis]

1923 skrevs denna låt...., och håller än!

[Superninjahead]

thumbs up if your mom sang this to you when you were a kid =)

[ctw1966]

@Superninjahead She surely did!

[dubconor]

@Superninjahead Thumbs up if she still does sometimes :)

[Runningmom123]

@Superninjahead I sing this to my "son"shine at night...

[skycastle1822]

@Superninjahead she sang it to me every day and still calls me her sunshine.

[AREYOUKIDDINGREALLY]

okay! Where is the lyics? I seem to have missed half of them, but my kiddos know it!

[nan33mar]

A classic and very well done.

[LeVeterantX]

This cannot leave an indifferent girl

[ThePeepee913]

@HELL77 this makes me and my moma cry because my gramps her dad died right after singin this

[MikeTap4321]

this song was good, until domino dancing made this song into liquid shit, totally ruined it

douchebags i hate domino dancing they ruined a great song

[TheBencake]

@HELL77 what southern state?

[MrTurnandslip]

@TheBencake Louisiana. A former governor of that state, Jimmie Davis, recorded a version of this after purchasing the rights. He used it as his signature tune.

[TheBencake]

@MrTurnandslip oh i see.

[carollizc]

I *did* get the soundtrack - it was a gift- and then my brothers swiped it. Both of them, at separate times. Thanks for posting this, so I can listen to it again.

[carollizc]

Luis Suarez.

[lilmsgothicprincess1]

my governor wrote this ;)

[bloodysnow1]

My mom sang this to me when i cried when ever i got hurt when i was little.When i heard/found this i started to cry

[demonic41700]

Co za asy!

[MrTurnandslip]

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

[Spontenaity]

I've watched this movie dozens of times (most of which was when my grandfather was dying; his favorite movie), and every time I've heard this song, I think of two things: my mother sang this to me when I was a baby, and this guy sounds more than a little homicidal. If you're not really listening and you hear "You'll regret it all someday", you're going to think something sinister is happening.

[LordMordred100]

@Spontenaity Shame...I think that "You'll regret it all someday" just means that the person who left the singer will...look back and miss what they had.. because that..that was real

[JuliRR1]

ugh i cant remeber that one song by the little girls! i cant remeber the lyrics eigther  -_- it was my favorite

so if anyone knows what it is plz tell me!

[Spontenaity]

@JuliRR1 It's called 'In The Highways' I believe. It's both a cute moment and one that wrenches the soul...Everett didn't deserve to find out like that.

[MrTurnandslip]

I cannot remember a time before this song was in my life. It seems it has always been in my heart.

I'll always love you and make you happy.

If you will only say the same.

But if you leave me to love another.

You'll regret it all someday.

[dinenavajo]

the first 50 seconds make me think of my ex-girlfriend...wow it's been 2 days i should be moving on by now oh well haha

[Freebird4rever]

@dinenavajo its been over a month for me and my ex is still on my mind. talk about needing to move on. lol

[dinenavajo]

@Freebird4rever yeah but i am not one to linger on my old lovers just saying i am severely disappointed with myself

[tji0714]

these are the kind of songs that need to cherished and remembered god bless you who sing this song because your elders sang this to you.i know im gonna sing this to my kids.

[tji0714]

this song really gets to me.i always cry because my mom used to sing this to me when i was young.i really wish i could go back and cherish those moments. and all you kids who read this,slow down and cherish being a kid because you get to be a kid once.

[emlysteeby]

my mom used to sing this to me when i was little and it would make me so happy that i'd cry.

now i sing it to my boyfriend all the time because he makes me so happy that i cry.

[irishaudis4]

my grand dad sang this to me and now i sing it to my little ones

[gibl917]

I'm crying right now. My mom used to sing this to me when I was younger.

[secjmusic9966]

my grand mother used to sing this song to me every day when i was a little girl :) i'm 14 now and i can still hear her singing to me when i was about 3 or 4 years old.

[tji0714]

@secjmusic9966 i remember my mom singing this as clear as it was today.i wish i could go back and cherish those moments

[Poknar]

I think everyone's mother sang this song to them, but just the good parts :)

[jguitarz1]

He shoulda made her happy in the first place LoL dont know what ya got till its gone.

[BPECA1]

actually pretty dark and depressing

[SilverDancer531]

Alexis, my sweet little sister. I used to sing this to you when you were so little you probably don't even remember. I love you little sunshine

[renee83200]

souvenir de war bride du havre en milleneuf quarante sis inoubliable

[renee83200]

souvenir de depart des war brides du havre mille cent quante six inoubliable

[HawockHain]

I weeped when I found this song. My mother used to sing this to me when I was little. I look back now and realize my innocence is lost as well as the safety that I had when she would hold me. At least she and dad are still around to provide me with sunshine.

[generallemur]

this was my exs and my song, whenever everything kept destroying itself and one of us fell the other sang this, alot slower and more sad though

[MsUniversalLaw]

@generallemur that is soo how it is ... ending a relationship is so emotional... its hard to forget, hard to ignore and hard to delete... how does a person forget...how does a person remember without feeling??????

[Poknar]

@generallemur

My ex and I are the same it was a special song between the two of us and I find it a comfort now when I am sad thinking about her

[DesiKroep11111111111]

we watched the film at school. Funny film and funny songs :P

[patchesoffear]

Not the livestock!

[PINKIT120]

when i was little my mom used to sing this to me before i went to bed. i couldnt sleep without her singing it to me

[MickieKelly69]

not cool

[ThatChurchill]

"I don't get it Big Dan."

[leunamseko]

real



[billydeesingleton]

My wife and I had our first child a few days ago and we sing this song to her when we are trying to get her to calm down. IT WORKS!

[comets1977]

I heard once an old man with long beard sing this song and many people was singing with him, when i hear this i think i stay there

[lucywagnerify]

My Grandpa used to sing this to my mother and my dad would sing it to me

[mydlands]

I have a pet bird named Sunny, and I sing this to her quite often. It's even funnier since we live in Louisiana, and one of our former governor's wrote this song.

Anyway, thanks for posting this. I obviously enjoyed it. :)

[hamidkaashif]

I love this song a lot......

[sailorchibimoon1665]

Childhood memories

[theburdcotter]

I'm not wearing any underpants...............

[best2years]

I love this movie and this song made me love it that much more :)

[bedbunnyable]

This inspired me to try and sing this song at the Jolly Roger karaoke. ugh. That me and my sister's worst idea.

[MickieKelly69]

I love the movie but i hate this song

[TheSATTTT]

Found myself singing this to my newborn the other day, then remembered my mother singing it to me when I was young...big shoes to fill!

[zibbadow]

@TheSATTTT

I've been singing this song to my baby girl since the day she was born. My mother sang this to me and my siblings when we were young and I have such wonderful memories when I hear it. I want my Isabella to have good memories of me like I do of my mother!

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh7292]

@TheSATTTT My mother sang this song to me when I was 2 years old laying on her stomach while she was pregnant with my little brother. I was 25 working construction in Atlanta, states away from them and this song came into my mind. Anyway, God bless you dear.

[crazyqueen67]

@TheSATTTT ...brought back tremendous memories to me I to used to sing it to my 3 babies as I fed them in the rocking chair..

[tracer740]

@TheSATTTT - Hey! A beautiful sentiment you've shared with us and most, if not all of us, can say we've been there too. Thanks for making your comment about this American treasure here.

[legofanatic1]

My mama used to sing this for me all the time..And now that I know the full song, it reminds me of my ex girlfriend...

[13mafiagirl]

my mom used to sing the chorus to me when she was tucking me in.

[Toni4044]

my mom used to sing this to me all the time when I was lil! :D

I love this version. :]

[TheXCGryphon]

@Toni4044 ME TOO!

[MissLisa206]

one of my favorite soundtracks of all time :)

[fodera6]

My mom used to sing this to me when I was little too. I didn't realize how sad it really was until I started playing it and read all the lyrics. This is a great version.

[elliejellie124]

tadays my 12 bday nd my dad sang this to me when i was ababy :) <3

[amberisan111]

I'v heard this song all my life,I love it any way that its sung and I'm 68 years old.

[corleanofmaiev]

7 people have no taste

[88droid]

i love this version! i wish they sang the whole song in the movie.

[Jude648]

My mother also sang this to ''us'', when we were young.......she died 40 yrs ago, at a very young age, 39.....I still love this. I've listened to this sound track many times. I love it.

[darroth42]

my mother sang this to me as i went to sleep for the first about 8 years of my life. now, whenever i hear this song, i get drowsy.

[COTCgirl]

When I was little my cousins and I would spend the night with my grandparents and as we were all going to sleep my grandma would sing this to us. All of us would sing a long with her until we finally fell asleep. It's one of the happiest memories I have. Thank you for posting this. :)

[xxZeroZonexx]

I miss my mum...

[Han4232]

I remember my sister Sho sho she was love this song how sad....

Thank you

[InHtown4u2nv]

[ExecuteToT]

[WROCL4WZ]

[JonasBrosFan17]

I haven't heard this song in such a long time! I need to watch this movie again :) I used to love singing this song.

[mastermould444]

My mum used to sing this song as a baby to get me to sleep

[mastermould444]

this was what my mum used to sing to me as a baby to get me to sleep and i love this song

[FailWhaleIsFail]

@mastermould444

haha mine too, i didnt remember that until i saw this movie :)

[alexpetro27]

Ironicaly, this is one of the first song many American kids learn to sing. It is taught as a happy song but now as an adult I realize how desperate and tense it really is. It is so sad I cannot help but break down every time i hear it.

[knightrider5050]

I need to ask my dad to get me this movie its SUCH a good movie!

[TheThetruth777]

My hair lol

[OregonOutlaw2000]

worthless no account woman he was the peterfamilias

[vanmoody]

This is actually a sad song. Please, don't take my sunshine away. It's a guy who is asking his wife not to leave him.

[jodytheboy]

MY MUM USED TO SING ME THIS WHEN I WAS A BABY MAKES ME SLEEPY WHEN I HEAR IT

[cdizzleandbigcdizzle]
