Carol Burnett - Shy (1964 Version)

[sammyk64]

This show was written specifically for Carol Burnett. It was said, that if she didn't play this part, that the show would not be completed.

[beat909m21]

that was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheRedTweety]

I didn't think the princess was funny until I saw Carol's version.

[megan3617]

perfection



[xoninacarmelloxo]

Nani noni nigga! @ 0:17

[hpobsessor1]

I love when she squeals when she says "oh that was wonderful!"

[tyronejrsr]

didn't she play the queen in the rogers and hammerstein movie??

[ROBERTSANFRATELLO7]

One of the most talented entertainers ever!!!!! i'm crying, i loved it so much. That voice just sent me into shivers of joy! Love you Carol!!!!!!

[bbbpbcbplove]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[jimmccaffreyactnsing]

no one has, could, or ever will do this role like she did. a one of a kind role for a one of a kind performer.

[rubyred0039]

@dentelTV2 do you have the rest of this version? My grandma had it on VHS, recorded from TV, which I haven't been able to find in years. Any more footage would be wonderful!

[TheStanbabe]

This is from the very first CBS TV adaptation of"Once Upon A Matress" with former Cleveland,Ohio and NYC kids tv host/performer:"Uncle Joe"Bova playing "Prince Dauntless"and Comic actor and singer:Jack Gilford as"King Seximus".

[Seanschemmelfan]

I like the part where she sanged: And horrribly shy. And the face she did at the end of bly was funny

[Seanschemmelfan]

[sweetbabycarrie]

Perfection

[MsJollycholly]

pitch perfect, best comedienne ever and naturally gifted without cue cards and autoune. REAL talent such as hers doesn't really exist anymore.

[matrix86]

She was a GREAT Fred, and also a GREAT queen in the 2005 television version...is there anything Carol can't do? :P

[stix2507]

carol burnett has the perfect voice for the role of princess winifred. you can tell that she is thoroughly enjoying herself. she does a great job!

[HouseAddict8240]

that dance move at 3:05 is SO epic!!!!

[SingersLeader]

@HouseAddict8240 I got a major laugh out of everytime everyone else leans back from her every time she goes up for the belt on the "shy" or "try". It's hilarious. Semi-subtle visual humor. ;-)

[SingersLeader]

@HouseAddict8240 I loved the little "conga" break right before that too! ;-)

[lilytheactress1]

CAROL BURNETT IS AMAZING.

[lauren102696]

i just played fred in my schools performance tonight... but i couldnt touch carol burnetts talent. shes insane:)

[brabon1]

@lauren102696 who can? i think tracy ullman came close...thats about it

burnett owns this roll

[camsilly22]

I was the queen two years ago in this play when we did it at my middle school, and now i get to audition with this song to get into my high school's musical theater group :)

[maryruthanne]

My college is doing this as well... we open in a couple of weeks... SO EXCITED :) Our Fred is brilliant. :)

[gatogirlie]

Carol Burnette is the BEST!!!

[VisualSpotlight12]

Was this released on DVD?

[DEFinitivelyHis]

My comedic heroine...Carol Burnett.

[NYCprincess7]

Soooo excited this is one of my fav musicals and I just got cast as Fred at my school,its my first lead role too:)!!!!!

[xaruiz]

@NYCprincess7 Same here! My college is doing this in the spring! When I first listened to this soundtrack, I thought the songs were relatively simple, but now looking at the sheet music and tackling this song... it's proving to be an interesting and fun challenge! Hoorah for Freds!

[NYCprincess7]

@xaruiz  :)

[WickedFan151]

Do You Hve The Full Show

[libbychecks]

Thanks for posting this video. I absolutely adore Carol Burnett and this piece in particular. Nice to be able to view it again. 

[123avrilrocks]

were doing this musical for our middle school

you know how long its gonna take to do it?

almost a YEAR

[princessslm1997]

@123avrilrocks im doing it now and we have only 2 months and we work 45mins 4 days a week!!!! it depends

[Melensko]

um... yes... win.

[mjimme]

Was this also on TV? I was 3 when this version was done. I vaguely rember the 72 version that I just saw on here. I think Bernadette Peters was in the seventies version and I think Ken Berry. I'm not sure. Is the whole thing available?

[rhaligrace]

ha ha. any one else find it funny that she's the queen in the latest version?

[rasburrypie]

our school  bord put on this production. ;D

[codeskywalkerabs]

SORRY...

if anyone knows where I can get the full recording of this version with Carol I will be infinitely grateful!! We are opening in 2 weeks and I'd really love to see more of what Carol does for some more fabulous ideas!

[codeskywalkerabs]

[Mad24680]

@97sweeney10 me 2!

[97sweeney10]

@Mad24680 haha cool! its really a good belt-y song. (:

[fahmad27]

I can relate to this song, b/c I'm shy, too.

[broadwaylover365]

i think this is my favorite role for carol burnett. Her first and best!!! :D

[adhoodo]

oh my goodness! i love this song so much! I think no one could ever do it as well as carol! She's amazing!

[143AC]

Dear Spartakos,  No! That is not character actor Norman Fell playing"Prince Dauntless The Drab"in the 1964 CBS TV version of "Once Upon A Matress!". That is former Cleveland,Ohio and NYC kids tv host/performer "Uncle Joe"Bova.

[Treemeadow]

Because of this musical, everytime someone asks me something that I must answer in a negative, I always embellish it with a

"hey nonny nonny nonny noooo"

[RichardSkipper]

I LOVE THIS!!

[Spartakos9]

Norman Fell as Prince Dauntless!

[rainbowluvd1]

Hey! Great sound, but not best vid quality. I have to sing this for an audition for school tryouts.

[sgshitfl12]

AMAZING

[vince065us]

1.This is an awesome song.

2.I need this song at present,because I'm shy,too.

[sjthorn]

This is definitely my favorite version. I don't think anyone could really ever beat her in this song.

[OBCBW]

I miss the days of musicals like this. She is quite amazing.

[HilaryLeAnnMusic]

how did you get this?

[abbylovesoatmeal0]

This is so brilliant and perfect. It brought a tear to my eye for the sheer glory of it.

[KJMwheaties]

OMG hahaha beautiful haha

[BrittRenee05]

Carol is amazing! I love the "horribly" lol! I always thought she did great with Miss Hannigan in Annie

[offtobroadway]

The IS a huge Broadway star...she has actually been in a lot of shows

and you can see why...SHE IS AWESOME

[mrmoony]

BRAVO

[snoman99991]

I love where she sings, "Horribly shy". Wonderful voice control.

She's really a star. I bet she hated doing the Disney version though, they butchered the score. Kinda funny that she ended up being the queen.

[musicalfan13]

holy cow, the choreography on this one rocks!

[panicatthediscotime]

LOL SHES SHY?

[HarlequinnGirlx]

Gawd, she's been in every version of this show, now hasn't she? XD

[musicalfan13]

Was she in the 1997 version? I think it had Sarah Jessica parker.

[SchwarzBass]

regretfully, it was Sarah, I saw it. Gawd awful!

[youdamneddirtyape]

That was great. Thanks for posting it. I paid way too much for an unwatchable copy of a copy of a copy of Once Upon a Mattress on EBay. It's nice to be actually able to "see" it here!

[hillsidebeesknees14]

yeah, she did this musical on broadway for a while. it was her big break. (paired with the garry moore show) she has also been in a lot of other plays.

[ZebZachary]

such a talented lady. I grew up watching her show. It appears to me that she could have easily been a huge broadway star. she definitely had the pipes for it. did she ever appear on broadway? forgive me for my ignorance. I only know her from her famous weekly show.
