[neffada53]

This is a real treasure! Thanks for sharing this

[Welcome2Broadway]

*Jump Jump Jump* I freking love Danny Kaye!!! OMG!!!

[Xilluci]

Awwwww <3 <3

I wanna sing this on my bike to go somewhere... :D :)

[Poutchyka]

This is awesome XD

[FranTomJ]

rats...

can't post all lyrics... which folks seem to want.

[FranTomJ]

Lyrics to "Everything is Tickety-Boo" (best as FLJ can figure out) Everything is tickety-boo, tickety-boo, tickety-boo... Everything is tickety-boo on such a dreamy daydley-oodley. Who could be persnickety-poo, snickety-poo, snickety-poo... With the sky so blinkety-blue, it causes one to say: Bless mankind, including my attackers. I'm inclined... the feeling is oh... so jolly-well oh... It's ever-so-lutely crackers! . . .

[wenglishsal]

@FranTomJ ... Awesome job, but I think the last line part is ... "It's aber-solutely crackers...".. But the rest is bang-on, or in my book AEWSOME.. I can sing along to it now.. Many thanks from Wales :0)x

[wenglishsal]

@wenglishsal .. APOLOGIESE from my absimal spelling, must be tired I guess, so I shall watch Danny Kaye one more time and then off to bed with a HUGE grin on my face.. hee hee :0)x

[joeknee4767]

@wenglishsal  ah just admit you are 3 sheets to the wind mate!!! its all good!!!

[wenglishsal]

@joeknee4767 ... Your comment made me chuckle... 'mate indeed' ... I am a silver haired Grandmother actually but I suppose if I was in Australia I may well get call mate or Sheila... Well which ever one it may be, I shall still be singing along with Danny..

Everything is tickety-boo indeed... *silly grin* Regards from Wales :0)x

[mylesag2]

Aha! The "bicycle" sequence at the end of this number would seem to be the "inspiration" for a similar sequence in "The Sound of Music"'s DO RE MI number. Couldn't Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood be more original?

[misha820]

Nothing is tickety boo for 1 person

[SuperJJx]

I think im gonna sing this on my way to school some day...

on my bicycle of course ;D

[mabhekaphansi]

I have looked a LOOOONG time for this number. Thanks evah so! By the way, the scene from 0.05 to 0.47 is reputed to be the longest single take of any scene in any movie .... not one cut!

[fersinoi]

Thank you Danny, we will always remember you.

[indigojack99]

2:10 the guy almost falls

[racehorse87]

So happy! :)

[cybercrys]

looove this movie! Love this song! Thanks for sharing

[jemp4704]

Danny Kaye was such a good entertainer. I only saw a few of his movies while growing up. Thanks for the vid.

[beckie0]

This always makes me smile.  Thankyou Danny Kaye!

Its absolutely crackers! :)

[willyhassertt]

im sorry if my attackers want to be blessed i wuill definetly aid them in blessing their broken arm :)

[SchwesterLoewenherz]

Danny Kaye is the best! Love him and his movies!

[MechanicalSunlight]

I work with a lady who says 'tickety-boo' instead of 'good' all the time... now I finally know where it comes from, lol

[cliffworks4321]

How about all the unsung musician heroes

sight reading /performing those parts, no loops, no ProTools! Le Roi est mort. Vive le Roi!

[LBM10030]

How can you not be charmed by Danny Kaye singing such a gentle song?

[LBM10030]

I've been looking for this movie for a long time. Thanks for this clip. It made my day

[jimdivax]

Tickety Boo was a late Victorian expression!

[BethDiane]

I always wondered where Douglas Adams got that expression!

[veevs]

Most impressive bicycle sequence I've seen since Muppet Caper, and adorable song!

[JoelandtheBots]

@veevs The Muppets have nothing on this.

[wenglishsal]

Oh, I have just realized they are all riding on the 'wrong side of the day', it must have been filmed in America... and a car passed him on the left, very strange indeed... The fences aren't as 'posh' and the roads in UK don't look like that either...lol

BUT I still love this, and yes I am still singing along, Danny is a smile maker... :0)x

[wenglishsal]

Danny Kaye always makes me smile... his singing and acting are simply wonderful... Love it, the tune is now well and truly stuck in my 'bonce', and still making me smile...58's Danny R.I.P. :0)x

[wenglishsal]

Oops ... it should have been 5*'s not 58.. Must be having a 'Homer moment there!'

Still loving Danny's superb talent though... :0)x

[AshaJCJ]

oh this is just lovely. I have never seen this before. One cannot be dreary with this, eh what!

thankyou:)

[sleepybrownbear]

If Danny Kaye rode up on his bicycle singing this song then I would sing along with him. I don't think I'd have a choice.

[sgnigyhc]

I heard this when I was little, but had no idea that it was from a film. How wonderful to see it after all these years. Such a happy, cheering song at a time when we really need it! Thank you so much for sharing it.

[PeppermintGlow]

Love this song... After it you should watch Hans Christian Anderson's 'Emporors New Clothes', if I'm not mistaken, it's the same tune?

[xdarkfirex]

@PeppermintGlow It has the similar cadence yes. But the tune is different. I can see how you came to this conclusion.

[stevebluestein]

I was kid from a small town. We had a school trip to New York City where we went to Radio City Music Hall... this song was in the film that we saw that day. It's 50 years and I remember it like was yesterday.

[Varenyk]

This is pimping right here.

[RenegadeFaith]

LOVE IT!!! It's stuck in my head now hehee.

[isminmizimy]

Could you upload 'The Square...', too? Please?

[isminmizimy]

Thank you so much! I absolutely love this song, it always makes me feel good. One of my favourite childhood memories.

[stilltryan]

Only Danny Kaye could sing such a silly song and turn it into something I want to listen to again and again. A rare find. Thanks for sharing.

[jjddaass]

great movie a movie that time forgot. i got VERY!! lucky and found a bootleg dvd of it. they did to make it so people can buy it. i bet it would sell very nicely.

[SublimeStuff]

do you know how rare this clip is? I've been looking for a copy f this film forever...

[realzoomy]

I've been looking for this song for ages! The B side was "The square of the hypotomuse of the right triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the two adjacent sides" Only Danny Kaye could have sung that and made it good!

I would like to see this film!

[dorodevil]

I was just cheking wikipedia about this film and found the coolest geekiest easter egg ever. Theres a reference at the end of this film to The Court Jester: kaye´s character´s father tells him that theres no shame in becoming a clown because actually an ancestor of his was the court jester of a british king!!!!!!

[guruesque]

yes, he is such a feel good factor guy, such a shame there is no dvd of the movie. He is definately my number 1 childhood hero. Now? George Clooney!!

[guruesque]

yes, he is such a feel good factor guy, such a shame there is no dvd of the movie. He is definately my number 1 childhood hero. Now? George Clooney!!

[pektor72]

I loved this movie very much as a kid. Beautiful song. Thanks from Israel.

[PismoBeach]

I've been looking for this for decades.

Thank you!

[aksa8c]

Wasn't there a bit when Danny had his coat or trouser caught in the bicycle chain? Maybe my memory is playing tricks. Great viewing this one.

[k5psb]

@aksa8c yes, that is a little earlier in the movie. His pant leg gets caught in the chain as he's pedaling to class and he end up in a wheelie. Kaye was so brilliant at physical humor.

[kleinerblauertroll]

Ich liebe Danny Kaye und diesen Film! Danke fürs hochladen!!!!

[Lauzi66]

Love Danny XD Thanks for posting!
