[GreenBeginnings]

Am going to use this to welcome my class in tomorrow!!!!

[TheOutlawJoWales]

This is the best song ever!!!

[OhShitOhHellOhWell]

Ezekiel 37 FTW, man. This also reminds me of TS Eliot's The Waste Land--because I'm great at literary analysis like that. Right. But I sure wish I knew how to harmonize, yes sir, I do.

[williamswhistlepipes]

i love it

[lisareynolds64]

Smooth like butter...Ezekiel 37.

[MindFire07]

Great song for those in med school!

[20rubberducks]

This is one of my favorite songs right now, for some reason. :D I looked up "Dem bones" on Youtube and this was the first selection I clicked on. Love it!

[stjoestrummer]

Beautiful version of a classic song. Thanks for posting.

[finnhere2]

@stjoestrummer The Delta Rhythm Boys were absolutely marvellous performers. I still remember their tv-concert from a Finnish church from the mid 80's I think, where Lee Gaines really could let his awesome bass roll and rumble in this song... Rest in peace, Lee and Hugh, and the Deltas before you, you are loved and remembered.

[MsLegend99]

Oh my gosh, I love this song. It is so funny.

[ZoosieBrain]

Used to listen to a red 78 of this! Part of my dad's collection. Can't believe it has been posted! Thanks so much. Coooool.

[bigredlover77]

Well spoken!

[rwmartin3456]

that episode of the prisoner made this song one of the few things in my childhood that *scared me to death !*

[juliejazz]

I always think of The Prisoner when I hear this song. Gives me the creeps. Although I'm pretty sure this was not the version used.

[rwmartin3456]

i/m sure it wasn/t this version, but this version sorta seemed somehow the creepiest. i had the original prisoner dvds, and was surprised at how *modern* (for the time) the music was on them (the beatles penny lane ?). but this one just seemed to creep everywhere. i/ll have to find who did that version ...

[rwmartin3456]

wikipedia identifies the version in the 'fall out' episode of the prisoner as being by 'the four lads' - couldn/t find a copy here (didn/t try *all* that hard).

[juliejazz]

I think it was "All You Need is Love" from the Beatles. Haven't quite figured out why it was in there though. According to several websites the Dem Bones version used was by the Four Lads.

[Horashima]

love this style of music.

rminds me of the 30's/40's

...also fallout 3.

[pancakesarebetter]

That is like the best game ever :P

[ansatsu18]

luv the classics, faved and 5 starred =]

[Sulphorus]

you know this song should be in fallout.

[Suenabajo]

In fact the song IS in Fallout episode of "The Prisoner".

[Gmancrap]

Ha ha this was just on my mind!

[TheAvanteBard]

i was thinkin that too

[cmomofilm]

This seems ripe for a good sample!

[gestern48]

YOU HAVE THE WHOLE SONG. How much "sample" do you actually want?

[futurama140]

what he means im sure is "sampling" this song. it means he wants to take a small segment of it and use it in his own song. thats how studio DJs work.

[lukejeter7]

@cmomofilm already did!

[jellybath45]

it get's into you head...it's so good!

[gmahoney56]

'cause t-pain is dope

[samfringo]

rain man song!

[GwynneFrench]

It's the "Delta Rhythm Boys" not "river" -- they are the best.

[paulsint]

why don't more groups today do harmonies like this? even stuff like Boyz II Men isn't around anymore. everyone just wants to hear T-Pain.

[ysbaddaden2003]

Or the Bus Boys.

[smurfmama2020]

how is the sound sooo good? where is this recoring from?

[wkl168]

I heard this song when I was a kid in early 1950 during a live performance. Hard to forget because the song was about bones. Here, the Delta River Boys are so good. No, I don't feel my age, so this clip is not posted especially for me. But I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

[PVJared]

singing about bones reminds me of Yale's secret society called Skull and Bones.

[nemzalnzood]

I wonder why...
