Pure Imagination- Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) Lyrics

[elpanilla]

thxs Tim Burton for f**ng something that was perfect

[SuperBIGTEL]

Awwww...... shame it's so filled with subliminal messages to destroy the world haHa.

[icecoldchillx]

@SuperBIGTEL omg exactly ive been watching this movie since i was a kid and i didnt until recently start realizing the subliminal messages in it. My friend and I were laughing about how Wonka basically killed almost everyone w/o even touching them

[guzchiggins]

wait... Glee did this song?

[BleachGentlemanGago]

Honestly, I like the 2005 Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) than this (Gene Wilder). But I <3 this song and Gene Wilder's voice, and I listen to it many times before I go to sleep.

[jesslovelivelaugh]

my brother wets him self over this cus he's so scared of it!

[Xearodeath]

thumbs up if when you listen to this song is just makes you happy

[Mystdrak]

Gene Wilder = Pure Inspiration :D

Glee = Suicide :(

[Mazorquera20]

I love this song, but sorry, I dont think so about the film, because Roal Dahl was not so happy whith this moovie. My name as a singer is Ana Wonka...

[HopeflRomantc]

I love this song, and have ever since the movie came out. However, the artist is not Anthony Newley, but Gene Wilder, whose voice has just the right mix of gentleness, innocence and deep wisdom in it to make it attractive to almost any child or adult.

[naderbops224]

love this song sang it in school love it

[Prongsysgirl]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think there's anything wrong with liking both the glee version and the original. Glee is my favorite TV Show, but Gene Wilder is my favorite actor. I do like the Glee version, but this version is my favorite.

[chopchop8916]

I'm not here because of Glee...I'm here because my drama group is doing this movie, and we all have to sing this...my crush is playing Willy Wonka...can't wait to hear him sing!

[TheFriendly0celot]

too quick tempo :/

[mdhhillman]

where are the lyrics?

[KingLouieIXVV]

The current movie goes along with the book. The original is my favorite because I grew up watching it.

[PAINTHOSELEMONSGOLD]

I'm going to use this at the beginning of a hip hop song and mix it into a hook. It will be tight.

[lollshade]

gene wilder if u like him watch a film called silver streak he does a lot of falling out of trains

[ithaley]

@lollshade roflmao , he does alot of falling out of trains XD

[KongoXIIV]

As usual, a "kids" program with messages that apply to adults...And now the tables have turned I wonder, and I wonder who else wonders...But, if I pick the message up as this now...When I was a kid watching this...did my parents lament in the message too? Only difference is, I have no family to raise to hold me back...

[KongoXIIV]

@KongoXIIV *sigh* Also reminds me of better times with a friend. :-(

OK...What gives about childhood that's so much better than adulthood? How can one put a stamp on the world this way? Ah...I'm just babbling now...that's what this song does ha ha!

[thevintagekid69]

3 people are souless hoodlums.

[LiveMore1992]

@thevintagekid69 so true.

[7eld]

You mean they're not disgruntled, underpaid oompa loompas?

[DeceasedEclipse]

@Neonspinnazz30 Foxhole and I said 3 ;)

[deejon167]

This was played at my twins assembly at nursery while we looked at photos of all the children just playing and being happy, all the mams filled up, its such a beautiful song

[tabbysmarticleslol]

i love this song so much i wish i could stop living in fear of the world. I wish i could live in a chocolate factory. Roald dahl is the best author ever. This is one of my favorite books ever.

[VictoriaJ527]

Like this if Glee brought you here!

[sixtyforce64]

@VictoriaJ527 like this if you actually came here cause you enjoyed the original movie, not some homosexual FOX remix

[Laviii11]

@sixtyforce64 lol i thought you watched glee bro

[sixtyforce64]

@Laviii11 yea. this is still better tho lol

[InkWellShadow]

@sixtyforce64 I did come here because I like the original. But "Homosexual" shouldn't be used as a synonym of dumb, crap, awful, gaudy, dreadful (all of which may well fit the fox remix..) Its offensive. But I agree with you.

[Tiboroun]

@InkWellShadow fag.

[InkWellShadow]

@Tiboroun gee thanks for that!

[Tiboroun]

@InkWellShadow You got it.

[realar]

@InkWellShadow Gay works but not homosexual.

[HipHopiz4Real]

@sixtyforce64

hahaha agreed

[RantingRance]

@sixtyforce64 I think i might have seen that one when i was 8 and remember it scared the shit out of me for some reason.

[TheFallen7fold]

@sixtyforce64 And "homosexual" is an insult now?

[CptSmokeAlot]

@TheFallen7fold Haha you people used to be clinically insane live with it.

[TheFallen7fold]

@CptSmokeAlot Err... no we didn't? Just because ignorant people thought gay people had a mental problem does not make it true. It's not a problem and being gay does not make you "clinically insane"- now or years ago.

[CptSmokeAlot]

@TheFallen7fold actually it was a mental illness to be a homosexual so being clinically insane whether or not the diagnosis is accurate does not take away from being labeled clinically insane and therefore being clinically insane it does not mean you ARE insane just insane from a clinical practitioner's point of view? I dont see why you people get all antzy in the pantzies anyway you only give those people fuel for the fire if you dont want it to happen anymore quit reacting

[monsterhighluv17]

@sixtyforce64 stfu!!!!!! :(

[iloveashelytisdale]

@VictoriaJ527 I love your lack of likes

[squeekyp10]

I think Gene did capture this song, it's dark, but it shows Wonkas idea of light. This song is a precursor for the rest of the movie.

[TMPolimeno]

Say what you want about the singing, the acting in this scene blows me away everytime. So sad and sincere, Gene killed it.

[PauPau1396]

i cry when i hear this song because it's beautifull. this is a song that only people with pure heart could understand. . i wish i could escape the F*cked up world we live in. This is a song and a movie that will never be old or outdated

[HappyThoughtsToU]

RIP Jean Sylvester... We love you & this song is for you!

[FatmanXVII]

Everyone I know and everyone who has every seen the original movie....if we could combine our childhood memories that this song evokes...I would bet all the chocolate in the world that that idea would produce one, simple but wonderful thing:

Pure imagination.

I will show this movie to my kids, to my grandkids, so this perfect song will never die.

[jmaddog420]

every time i get stoned, this song takes me on a journy

[Sombraline]

I'm here because I saw Chris Colfer's going to sing solos in this song :)

[Rick123691]

The whole neighborhood loaded in vans and went to see this one when I was a kid.

They had displays of WONKA bars at the theatre , very well organized and kids were in candyland / dreamland, GENE was pure PERFECTION in this role.

[gunslider19]

This Willy Wonka is more epic than Deep.

[realar]

@gunslider19 Don't you mean Depp, because it is deep and epic.

[DaShepherdess]

*Sniff!* I miss my childhood now... :(

[tokyorider2019]

HAHAHAH the oomps loompa in the bottum right corner at 3:13 looks like a mini orange paul mccartney!!!! who else agrees?

[911tomo]

Memories galore

[Spocktacular77]

wow the likes on this sure are better than fridays

[GreenMan09x]

@Spocktacular77 The like to dislike ration is much better

[JosshhHD]

hey man, how do you get the itunes information about the song in the description? and do you still get a copyright strike because of the song?

[FatmanXVII]

I watched this every time I went to my grandparents house. Now that house is gone, nana is gone too and pop is close to be on his way.

This song holds my entire childhood in it, and brings back many wonderful memories. I get goosebumps everytime I watch the movie.

I will show my children this film, and my grandchildren too so hopefully, they can love it as much as I

[glynch55]

Life-changing song?

[ItsLottiee]

MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD

[StarWarsObsession42]

2 people never had an imagination :(

[linik0007]

@StarWarsObsession42 or a childhood.

[Negima2006]

the songs about a world of imagination and all you guys have to think about is pedophilia and rape. you're all fucked up in the head.

[UffieLove1]

@Negima2006 YES! discusting....

[PikachuJackskeling94]

i love this song!

[MsBoeboes]

yes x4

[Kategutmann]

I absolutely love this song as sung by Mr. Wilder. I listen to it over and over, It make me feel young again.

[WhiteRockSinger21]

im singing this for my broadway project for my musical threatre project. :)

[Mrs4inchheels]

@WhiteRockSinger21 Haha, same here! (If I get the part...) 8D

[WhiteRockSinger21]

im singing this for my broadway project for my musical project. :)

[fairhillnorrie]

OH MY GOD THE BANKERS SONG....... remember?? we were all singing this a few years ago in Ireland... its that fu*king chocolate tasting !!!! we were spiked lads!!!!!

[akira1068]

Sniffle....brings back good memories. Thanks for the video. 

[jackiexpackie]

why are they so depressed at :43 ? LMAO

[1butterflykisses2]

i love this movieeeee!!!! 10x better than the one with johnny depp (which is just a shitty remake compared to the original >.<) <3 <3

[StealthMaster86]

@1butterflykisses2 The newer one is more like the book.

[1butterflykisses2]

@StealthMaster86 but the older one is a classic :)

[audgeyp]

@1butterflykisses2-I agree, they say the remake was truer to the book but I'll take this version any day. It's so much more light-hearted and charming!

[MegaPelon2]

down memory lane,

[CLU3L3SSS]

when your kids have kids, I hope this song is still magical.

[MichaelJfanatic]

i have to say the orignak AWLAYS crshes the newer movies. especially this one...sorry if ur offended

[Kat3207]

I think that after a nuclear war....only this song and cockroaches will exist.

[Brokensteel1228]

@Kat3207 fallout fans rejoice : D

[sargentshadow]

@Brokensteel1228 why do you say fallout fans should rejoice about the song

[Brokensteel1228]

@sargentshadow Because the video game Fallout 3 is based in post apocalyptic world

That has old music similar to this playing On a radio station as well as mutated animals & insects

I was simply responding to @kat2307 comment

[MrTroydninja]

@Kat3207 maybe it is inside this country here!

[patofglory]

I like this video because it really doesn't need the movie behind it

[Joeyfulco]

Gene Wilder is just the best!

[guzchiggins]

I love this song. I grew up watching this movie it saddens me that the new generations don't even know about the first version. another thing is that everyone here thinks that the good days are over because you're no longer & and therefore not everything is possible

[markusthefarkus]

@guzchiggins hey i watched thefirst version and i liked it better than the newer one with Johnny depp...i like both butth is the best one ^.^

[beccabby900]

love this songg (:

[lexus710000]

i <3 this movie. :)

[VentusUnbirth]

i could turn the melody into pure awesomeness with a electric guitar.

[littlemisscreativify]

i totally love this song!! im doin the muisical at my school (im veruca :) im TOTALLY jealous of the guy who plays willy wonka cause he gets to sing this song

[Xen0DeX]

Who comes to the video of a song this magical to dislike it? Fags these days..

[yoshilover442]

the commercial fooled me i was like aww it isnt onnn. then 2 weeks later it did and i was super happy.

[XfleegerX]

I wish the new one was as good as the old one. Now these little kids are looking up to Johnny Depp [Not that i have anything against him hes a good actor and all] and oompa loompa's that rap. the new one isn't half as good as the old one

[TheManny1024]

i like the song but does anyone think its kind of creepy....maybe talking about a place..u know the other side

[palmpje11]

wow i didnt knew there was a movie before the new one. :o

[KatsumiAngel]

@palmpje11 WHAT?? How old are you? The new movie is terrible compaiered to this one! :D you should watch the original, its very different, much simpler and more inocent, but brilliant

[palmpje11]

@KatsumiAngel

im 13. ;D

this sucks hahha.

[KatsumiAngel]

@palmpje11 what this? lol and thats fair enough, but the original is good, but its a different kind of movie

[LittleJayneyCakes]

I miss the days where television and stories truly encouraged imagination.

[LeSqweek]

What an amazing song and who better to sing it

[awhite181]

@Nigelzanproductions we are not in hell. We are mature, Our job now is to reproduce succesfully and make it so our children only know happiness.

[TheCrunchifiedOne]

Count to three, make a wish. Now your dreams are diamonsd

[bloodyawakening]

[ChrisGyro]

[nerdyjacky]

@ChrisGyro i think it's the iphone commercial

[kaylehansen]

@nerdyjacky it's actually the HTC Pure 4G Windows phone commercial.......further proof the iPhone and Apple are overated

[twilighter4life88989]

[TwilightluvXOXO]
