South Pacific: There is Nothing Like A Dame

[TheRainSnake]

my friend tyler played stew pot in our high school musical and he sang that part even lower XD

[zarakhast]

It doesn't matter what country you're from or what your sexuality is, this is a fantastic, euphoric song.

[zbsr]

one of my favorite (and funny) songs from one of my favorite musicals

[mewmewpower76]

they have a black guy in there:)

[totesme14]

I watched a choir performance of this is it was soo funny!

[MissAthenaGirl]

If this song weren't sung by U.S. Navy men, most of whom hadn't been around a woman in months, then this would be the epitome of desperate and slightly stalkerish!

[pompom11]

they got mango's and banana's they don't need dames :)

.

def has gay undertones, all those shirtless sailors

.

I'd say half of the guys in the chorus were gay in real life

.

Love that song Bali Ha'i

.

Great to see My Favorite Martian in the cast he was great.

[hoesey]

@pompom11 I'd say with 99% certainty that your comment is 100% true ;) Also agree, this is one great tune and South Pacific is a real favorite of mine.

[TXejas19]

please!!!! lol I wish men were this brawny in the navy, they get scrawnier or puggier every year

[OperaGhostObsession]

I went to a musical theater camp and the guys had to sing this and do choreography... The day after they learned it, I told my friend, Liam "With that choreography, there won't be any dames." XD

[ComedicArtist866]

I remember when I was in 7th grade the 6th grade boys had to sing this song for a concert and I would watch outside the door of the chorus room  and applaud and give Mrs. L the thumbs up! Those 6th graders were so adorable!!!!!!

Those were the days

[123xxSonicxx123]

have to sing this for a play

[MDTballet]

damnnnnn they are so sexy!!!

[onacocksafari]

gay

[onacocksafari]

pack of rapists

[luckystar85]

im in love with stew pot omg

[alzorama]

Great for singing along!

[MrKlinger29]

memories :D

[michelle07962]

my boyfriend and the chior at his school dressed up as sailors and sang this for their chior concert

[wcodys22]

im doing this musical at m school....im the guy who says or as faithful as a bird dog or as kind as santa clause

[t47ty]

did this song in high school

[RivalryTennis]

in the original south pacific.. the guy who said "we feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met red riding hood" was my grandpa

[Juliaflo]

@RivalryTennis Your grandpa was lucky to appear with the incomparable Mary Virginia Martin.

[lolchandler]

I was Cmdr. Harbison in this musical

[burtonrules123]

this song is hysterical! i have to see this movie now, it looks fun but as silly as this song is, its so true! there AINT nothin like a dame! i loove women!

[burtonrules123]

@ 01:50 its dillion from predator!

[tscat68]

HA! THATS MR HAND FROM FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH!!

[iliveinthetwilight]

"...but the feeling of relief." Hm.

[mrsganzo]

i love it! the song was so good

[daveman5595]

@gremlinextreme101 well do u think you can sing that low, didn't thinks so...so shut the hell up

[froasties]

This song is so catchy!!!!

[omgworkpls]

There is nothin like butch shirtless men in navy uniforms. Nothin in the world... Lol it's still pretty camp imo. I love how tho what most are wearing u will find influences of it in fashion these days. Those denim shirts & boots! x

[canuckleful]

I just really thought about the name forbush... Oh my God.

[hoesey]

It just doesn;t get any better than "South Pacific."

Oklahoma, West Side Story, etc. ... good, but the South Pacific broadway stage play and the movie blockbuste shown herer tower over them all.

I recently saw the stage version, live in New York city. I must confess, I believe the movie version is far better than (this current) stage play.

[gltmeredith]

Greast song. Im sang this in 198 in choir for a performance. Alot of fun. I salute our military and have strong praise for them!!!

[goodbyelonglive44]

woww man I understand now...

[TimKGrimes]

This looks like a color version of the crappy video NASA released of the lunar footage in 1969! haha

[missmidnightroses]

hehe singing navy sailors

[tet43]

Strange to think about it, but all these guys are either dead or in their late 70's early 80's now.Something tells me ther're not quite as hot looking, anymore.

[grraacce]

Thanks for the terrible quality.

[MsMusicalMuse]

Helped direct this musical twice for a hgh school production....

[Mikey454545able1]

really good song in afar away place

[TheGodParticle]

Some of those guys have bigger tits than my wife!!!

[mindspring57]

@TheGodParticle Which raises an interesting question. Why, in a group of men that are equal to each other, do some go shirtless and some wear a shirt and a T-shirt? It really makes no sense, considering they are on a tropical island in the South Pacific, where being shirtless would be a lot more natural.

[TheGodParticle]

@mindspring57 Well shirt or no shirt, as long as they keep their pants on i'm happy with that. But my wife may think different. cheers

[goodbyelonglive44]

@TheGodParticle ha hahahah

[gaytrampboy]

Gah i'm scared i'm going to remember lots of things r beautiful but brother, then there is one particular that is nothing whatsoever in any way shape or form like any other in my concert O.o i have that solo xD

[Juliaflo]

...And after more than 60 years, there is nothing like 'South Pacific'.

[cookyk2]

@AGNyc84 Im playing him tommorrow, Is year 11 same as 5th grade? American system confuses me... :/

[RB1952]

This is recorded with a video camera off someone's TV. Poor quality.

[ladifrickinda07]

@RB1952 well duh

[bloodyspurs]

Take it any way you can?

[garvaltwins]

Well, if you are into guys there has got to be one in this bunch that will push your buttons.

[Troybeallad]

Always thought they were more into each other than any dame.

[flibbertygibbet]

I have to say Ray Walston wasn't much of a singer. I love his acting though.

[TheDavidb1000]

Stew pot can sing LOW

[ryanbranom]

Stewpot is a one word name.

I am Stewpot. I would know.

[PTmayotte]

@TheDavidb1000 Voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft. He also sang "You're a mean one Mr. Grinch".

[WSenator1]

@PTmayotte - and Mr. Ravenscroft was Tony the Tiger: "They're GREEAAAT!"

[gremlinextreme101]

@TheDavidb1000 It's only an F

[ktrum492]

@gremlinextreme101 if you mean stewpot's solo, that would be an E.

[DragonFlame87110]

@TheDavidb1000 I freaking <3 Basses!!! That's effing sexy!!!

[lawrencewan69]

sexist BS, fun song thou

[SpikeLanta]

i'm currently serving in the U.S. navy, and I can identify with this song lol

[coldwarsailor]

@SpikeLanta

If you were on a submarine for 80 days with no mail in the 1960's you might !

[PeaceNdLovee]

@SpikeLanta There are no damnes in the navy? I mean I understand in the 50s but its 2010.

[goodbyelonglive44]

@SpikeLanta hello what is a Dame?

[wrestlemaniac829]

@goodbyelonglive44 A girl. That's what they used to call them back then.

[goodbyelonglive44]

@wrestlemaniac829 well have you felt like "There is nothing like a dame"? people only feel that when they get kicked out of the job or fail a big exam and loose money...

[chica476]

@SpikeLanta

Say goodbye to those cute sailor suits for me, I hear that they will no longer in service soon.

[cookyk2]

Can anyone tell me who this Luther is? the SKipper? we're doing it at school at some point, and im confused :S

[FellowTraveller]

bosun's mate I believe

[meshell9913]

ahhhhh i got the part of stewpot the really really low part

[TheDomsta1119]

OMG same!!! im 12!!!

[JorDaymn]

i was in this movie

[Frankiarmz]

Painfully true and no matter how old I get I still need what this song describes perfectly! That's all I want, a girlie, womanly DAAAAAAAAAAME!

[Colie2458]

lol were doing this in my play its a fun song to sing

[hispanichick20]

I like the guy in the current show's rendition of Billis better than I like this one

[florality]

me too it has more attitude

[lhasadad]

HuH? Ray "My Favorite Martian" Walston was perfect for the role.

[dynasue77]

Great retro musical about two love affairs played out during the Pacific war. Rossano Brazzi was just gorgeous. I have this on dvd.

[tet43]

Oh ,yes!.In 50's America, if you weren't what I mentioned, you were either ignored or repressed.R&H began to address this in this musical with the song"You've got to be taught".This movie came out at the end of that extremely conformist decade.If you're aware of it, you can see that the whole movie has an undertone questioning that "innocence" (pzdump86) was referring to.

[tet43]

Yeah, innocent if you were straight, white,Christian, and fit in with everyone else.Otherwise, I'm sure it was pure Hell!

[YaoiLiciousNinjas]

lmfao wow then I would've been screwed xD

[bobwaters]

In other words, innocent.

[tet43]

No, i don't think so. Innocence implies blamelessness.If you like, we can compromise, and use the term" willful ignorance".I'd be ok with that.

[pzdump86]

damn. things were so innocent back then.

[jumpinjax2]

Nope, they just looked it in movies :)

[redflame08]

singing this song 4 choir

i got a solo for this song

yay me

[Pyr0technic]

Singing this song for major production , I also got a solo, (tenor) Yay Me!

[redflame08]

im a tenor too lol

[girlswholovetwilight]

THIS SONG ALWAYS GETS STUCK IN MY HEAD!!!!\

but i LOVE it:)

[EakaCotton]

The guys in my choir are doing this song for our concert..its hilarious

[randyparksyarbrough]

me and some friends from my high school are doing this song

[KamikazexProductions]

Billis.

<333

[damechastain]

Stew Pot's voice is to die for.

[LJDRVR]

Actually, the actor was dubbed by Thurl Ravenscroft - the guy who did Tony the TIger's voice in the frosted flakes commercials and sang the Grinch songs in the Chuck Jones Christmas cartoons.

[damechastain]

Oh, wow - I didn't know that.

[big88foxbodyfan]

i got to do that part in our play.....it's hard to grind out those last few notes if you ain't a good bass

[Purekill500]

nice try :P :)

[tortellinni2393]

My school is doing South Pacific for this years musical. It's fun to do.

[cgaels6650]

yeah my school did it my senior year and it was awesome..i never did a school play before that becuz i always trained for football and baseball when it was time to practice for the play but our senior year i had the whole football team with me do it and it was sick

[scottfwtx]

video tape of somebody's television screen? what the fuck?

[snottydyck]

lucky to get outta that war...

[CircusCat]

Mr. Hand in the House!

[imjunipernow]

That could be taken two ways, you know.

Pizza anyone?

[drummike77]

Mr. Hand likes pepperoni.

[stephen2000306]

Is that My Favorite Martian singing?

[dhonzik]

Yes, thats him

[makemejelly31]

The guys in my choir are singing this(it's

7th/8th grade so it's changed a little..)and i love it. TO go with this, we're(as in the girls) singing Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair. They're some fun songs! :)

[CIre101]

wow, i feel like crap, my high school mens ensemble is singing this... lmao

[makemejelly31]

Eh you shouldn't. Some are too stubborn pr embarrassed to sing in front of everyone. :)

[CIre101]

haha, i love singing this song :), im a baritone btw haha

[phoenixfoxtrot2008]

this film is fantastic i went to see the musical with my mum yrs ago. she's not with me anymore but all i do is think of this film and i cant help but laugh and smile

[Dragon011]

I love this movie

[libearian]

Uh, since you obviously haven't been paying close attention, "South Pacific" is ABOUT race!

[Slick2614]

That's it - drag race into everything.

[squonkness]

i like drag racing :O))

[buzzdav4]

Interesting that the cast would include a black guy. Very cool. In WWII, I am lead to believe (especially like my late dad's stories of the ETO), a brother would not be welcome, and he would risk death if he even glanced at one of those pretty white nurses. I know that the composers were pretty sensitive to racial issues even back then. Good call, R&H. Would that society were that tolerant then.

[concurrentcoder]

Jesse Owens noticed that he could eat , ride a bus, drink from from a water fountain etc. with whites in of all places Nazi Germany during the 1936 Olympics where he had to ride in the freight elevator at the Waldorf when he returned to the US. Unfortunately, nothing much to be proud of with segregation in America except the Americans who fought it, especially the ones who would otherwise not be effected.

[gazaguy]

not so good sound and worse video

[antiann52]

I like Ray Ralston in My Favorite Martian. For a long time I didn' even know he was in South Pacific. When I saw him I was plumb flabergasted. Well, Well. Great Picture

[louish39]

my cousin is in the 08 perfomance looking forward to seein him

[bockharn]

Check out the 2008 production of SP at Lincoln Center -- it's terrific!

[SeeTaylorPlay]

@ bockharn: It really is. I had nosebleed seats and I can still say I enjoyed South Pacific more than any other Broadway show I've ever seen.

[crabstick250]

Yea, it is a really great production. I see shows all the time and this really tops my list for the past few years, of course it helps that it is one of my fave movies.

[TheMikester307]

Wow! We did this scene when I was in College 28 years ago. At the time I didn't know Ray Walston was in the movie! He's the best!!!

[laurabryannan]

One of my favs. Thanks for posting!

[iheartneworleans]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!
