Twelve Days of Christmas - Julie Andrews - The King Singers

[cbhagman]

I don't know that I'd seen this since it aired on TV, but I've never forgotten it, and so was thrilled to find it here. Thanks for posting!

[bestdamnalex]

OMG this made me laugh so fcking hard! "ein glockenspiel, i know that one!" xD

[cilrogers]

I am enjoying Christmas in April. This is so funny! I have the entire Sound of Christmas on video and plan to really enjoy it in December. Also the video has the Julie Andrews Christmas special from 1973. Something to really look forward to at Christmas.

[jomagoma86mm]

could you find me the german dancing of this video???, it´s before this song!!!!

[Schrotter0512]

She didn't play the Glockenspiel in the Verse that begins with the "Spitzendirndl" (the dress) :D

[Schrotter0512]

Part 6:

Zu Weihnachten schenke ich dir mit Liebe neunzehn Knackwürste, ein Federkissen, einen Apfelstrudel, drei Zwetschgenknödel, ein Spitzendirndl, zwei Wiener Schnitzel, fünfzig Pfeffernüsse, ein Glockenspiel…Glockenspiel!, einen Gugelhupf, ein Tirolerhut, einen Bierkrug und eine bunt bemalte Kuckucksuhr.

That's it! Have fun singing it :-)

The last one was part 3 (not part 2), so here's part 4:

[Schrotter0512]

Yes, of course :-) I'll just have to divide it up because it's too long for these youtube-comment-boxes :D

Here we go: Part 1

[gitas21]

could someone be kind and tell me the lyrics of this german version (in german)?

I'd like to sing it with some friends. Thanks and happy holiday everyone!

[LaClairEtoile]

I have two German friends that I will ask. Maybe one of them will take the time to give us the German lyrics. I'd love to know them too.

[LaClairEtoile]

Here's the first line (in German):

Zu Weihnachten schenke, ich dir mit liebe, eine bunt bemalte Kuckucksuhr.

Translation: For Christmas, I give you, with love, a brightly painted cuckoo clock.

[Schrotter0512]

Perhaps a bit late for Christmas, but I'm from Germany so I'll just write down the lyrics :-) (I'll have to divide it up, it's so long :D)

[franicol1]

[TheDoctor394]

Wonderful. :-)

[KimLoveJulie]

Please don´t think that Germans or Austrians did eat and drink so much and always Schnitzel or bear !

But this is very funny!!

[seward0226]

I LOVE when Julie puts on the red hat... so gangsta of her :-)

[RoseLippedMaiden]

LOL somehow I never expected to hear Julie and gangsta in the same sentence... :-)

[JulieAndrews135]

I love this. It's very funny!

[EmmaWatsonStar]

Wow, love this! Julie Andrews is simply amazing :).

[pokemixer369]

shufaina de shenga?????? it sounds wierd and snitsy mi fenusa???

[robbcarson]

This is one of my favourite Christmas specials. I remember watching this and taping it on a little cassette recorded I had at the time which actually did a pretty good job. I must send this to my daughter who loves it also. I am a huge fan of Julie Andrews.

[RoseLippedMaiden]

LOL... I cant stop watching this over and over... It's simply brilliant!

[AJMWriter]

Any idea who the choir is?  They actually sound like Chanticleer a bit. =)

[TheDoctor394]

It's The King Singers, an absolutely wonderful vocal group. :-) They've been around for a long time.

[TheDoctor394]

My apologies. It's actually King's Singers.

[usagismile]

THEY KILLED JULIE!!! lol.

[usagismile]

HAHAH!!! FUNNY! just one question.... why are the subtitles in SPANISH of all things?

[labv190861]

Because it comes from a Mexico's TV Broadcasting

[jounster]

Thanks for posting... This is hilarious!

"Oh, shut up!" -- ding!

Don't let anybody tell you that Julie Andrews isn't a comedienne. I love her timing.

[fhunrichse]

this is great!!

[cujen88]

Oh I love that!

2:24 is just great I think! grrrr

It's so hilarious! And I love it that's in german :-)

So funny

[Poppins91]

Poor Julie. This one is lovely it's very funny! I love it!

[shirarasunami]

poor julie XD

[dontdomornings]

OMG, hadn't seen this in ages, but the Sound of Christmas is one of my favourite Julie specials. It's funny and she looks beautiful in it. This bit is hilarious - the look on her face (time 1.43) is PRICELESS.

[schwei56]

This is a bit of an homage to "I'm In Love With A Girl Named Fred" from 'Once Upon A Mattress', so go look that up; this therefore constitutes a gift to Julie's soulmate Carol Burnett!

[EmmieB91]

aaahahha! that was funny XP

[denymaria]

Beacuse the "sound of christmas" was make in Salzburg.

[picardythirds]

this is hilarious! but why are they singing in german?

[denymaria]

I like so much this video!I laugh more and more! Yes, she's the best actress!I didn't found in my country dvds with Julie. Can you help me to buy this dvd or other? Thank you so much!

[nanydea]
