Cats 09 Old Deuteronomy

[ccanime36]

I don't know why but ever since I could remember I alway though that Rum Tum and that other cat (cat remember his name) at 2:25 where like brother and the sons of Old Deuteronomy, and Rum Tum was kinda like the bad seed, and if Old Deuteronomy died Rum Tum or that other cat that kinda already acts like leader when Old Deuteronomy not around would have to like fight for the throne.. But personally I think the other cat should get the throne and Rum Tum should just be himself and have more fun XD.

[PeterPanDisneyDork]

i like that at the very least, Tugger has respect for Old Deuteronomy :)

[jjinflint]

The heavy side layer the cats sing about is heaven. Grizabella dies and is reborn . That is what tey sing about. Munkstrap is the day to day leader of the Jellicle cats. Old Deuteronomy is the oldest and wisest if the Jellicles and makes the decision of who gets to go to the heavyside layer.

[JellyPie6643]

Tuggers face when he sees Old Deuteronomy

[TJW595]

Deuteronomy;s costume had to be the easiest to make, it always reminds me of a big shag carpet XD

[LostToMyOwnCause]

misto's childlike smile when he senses old d <3

[normalsnotforus]

my school is the first to perform cats! i'm skimbleshanks :)

[LostToMyOwnCause]

@normalsnotforus lmao no it isn't many schools have done it. the school i graduated from just did it last april

[PeterPanDisneyDork]

@normalsnotforus i'm jealous! that's one of my dream roles! :D

[Pokepower123]

@normalsnotforus My school did cats when I was in year.....3 or 4 I think it was. Amazing production to perform. I got to play Victoria!

[sweetiegrl41]

Ok this song / number makes it look like the Cats haven't seen Old Deuteronomy before :P 

[blackclawedthing]

Tugger: Yes, no, hi, ho, oh- (hand flies out dramatically like always)

Munkustrap: MY EYE!

[shanonfreek]

I dedicate this song to my cat Mushie Mush mush ( that isn't his name, that's just what I call him.) He's old and venerable.

[LemonadeIcedTea01]

@satskify

I didn't say WHEN he dies, I said IF he dies. Geez

[Arreisenta]

I get chills whenever Misto says "Old Deuteronomy?" 

[satskify]

@LemonadeIcedTea nict to know people are looking forward to Old Duet's death!

[secretagenttigress]

4:12 EXOTICA!!!!!

[awesomesocks15]

I will go to my grave saying Rum Tum Tugger and Munk are brothers. They act to cute together.

[SuperLiverpoolfc4eva]

@awesomesocks15 Tugger and Munk are brothers. Both are also sons of Deuteronomy :)

[Armarcsen]

Hey, fun fact, the same actor that plays Old Deuteronomy also plays Oogie Boogie from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'

[beccaRed11]

the love in their eyes... ohh and how the littles ones hug him soo cute

[gcibbarelli]

ectcera does this back flip and holds it for like 20 seconds

[sweetiegrl41]

Tugger's voice is so sexy in this number! Even better than his little intro song thing :)

[nurz33]

wonderful song. love Munkustrap's voice

[AriannaSbagliata]

This song is beautiful!! I love the voices of these actors!

Who is the actor that plays the part of Munkustrap??

[KatyStCloud]

@AriannaSbagliata Michael Gruber, and John Partridge plays Rum Tum Tugger

[efil4own1isback]

OLD DEUTERONOMY HAS NO NECK! :)

[1969cricketwest]

@efil4own1isback that is cause he is the story teller.

[efil4own1isback]

@1969cricketwest Exactly. I once wrote a spoof of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" starring the cats of "Cats", and Old Deuteronomy was the Criminologist.

[ashley1866]

I obsessed with Munkustrap

[Purplefizzgirl]

I think this is a song that is sadly overlooked. I know Memory is incredible, but in my opinion this really deserves as much praise.

[Purplefizzgirl]

[VampireBug]

There's only one thing that can sum up what I feel for this song: <3

[Violet2279]

WOOT Go Munkustrap (Tabby) Go Rum Tum Tugger (Maine Coon)

[secretagenttigress]

It must have awkward rehearsing this scene

[prhdb94]

@secretagenttigress y

[ashley1866]

@secretagenttigress

I bet sooo

[GIRLSKATER6]

SING MUNKUSTRAP SING

[Divaratrika]

maybe there are 665 other mrmistoffelees's?

[Evie029]

y have u put ur name as mrmistoffelees666? hes not an evil cat...hes awesome!

[logiclovr]

@trinklelizor uhhh... Old? :D

[trinklelizor]

What kinda cat IS HE?

[TheOmnitrixHacker]

@trinklelizor I'm guessing Persian? He's certainly got the fur and face fluff shape for one

[LemonadeIcedTea01]

Thumbs up for the Tugger/Munk duet!

[GoodLuckSophie]

It always makes me cry. :D

[hips1986]

Beautiful

[EvaleneAlice]

i absolutely love this song, one of my favourites! Munkustrap has a gorgous voice, rum tum tugger is incredibly talented, the part where all the cats run to Deuteronomy, it gives me goose bumps its so cute! fantastic show! one of my favourite things i had in my life when i was growing up!

[Debbie321lopez]

Furry's that sing?

[twsbabygirl]

this song makes me cry sometimes

[LemonadeIcedTea01]

3:54 Asparagus looks sooo cute! And it's pretty cute when Munk pushes them all forward so they can greet Old Deuteronomy.

[PercyJacksonFan613]

This is one of the most beautiful song in the whole play/movie but its also one of the hardest to sing cause:

A) you gotta be quiet but loud, low, AND high at the same time!

B) the words always take my breath away, and:

C) at this point in the movie im broken down in tears.

[justinlovespastry]

GOOSEBUMPS INTENSE GOOSEBUMPS and im very surprised

[logiclovr]

@monkeecheer013 yeah their harmony just gives me goosebumps!!!!

[logiclovr]

@soepsas because Old Deuteronomy is extremely old. Deuteronomy could be Gus's grandfather or even great-grandfather.

[NiesNiesMeow]

I like this song :)

9 People didn't meet Old Deuteronomy xD

He's so sweet :D

[Soepsas]

why is it: OLD deuteronemy but not OLD gus?

[Chio75751]

he must have catnip in his coat or somethin!

[airsheila]

I love watching these, it's like my childhood is coming back to me :D

[monkeecheer013]

Ughhh i LOVE Tugger and Munkustrap's duet... they're most definitly my favorites for the guys..

[MultiPearl007]

I like when Munkustrap says "Queen Victoria" he's singing to Victoria the White Cat

[Soepsas]

99 really nice! O.o

[OmgTheyKilledChoppa]

not one eye dry :P

[GreedGirl892]

@ MultiPearl007

it's widely considered that they are. there are, however, no pairings set in stone in the CATS univers, so you're techincally free to veiw then however you want

[MultiPearl007]

are Tugger and Munk brothers and Deuteronomy's sons?

[LemonadeIcedTea01]

I like when Tugger and Munk sing together.

[MultiPearl007]

this song seems like a lullaby to me

[pigpig252]

isnt it funny, i am known to LOATH musicals, yet this is my favourite play of all time XD

[Pappiloncat]

1:30 jemima! your a kitten! stop hugging him! unless he's your brother....

[SydniRox97]

My heart stops every time I hear Tugger sing "Ninety-Nine and..." I don't know why, but i love that so much!! :3

[LemonadeIcedTea01]

If Deuteronomy ever dies, Munkustrap will probably take his place. He seems like the unofficial leader when Deuteronomy isn't around. Tugger-3

[LaSofy94]

@LemonadeIcedTea01 I think exactly the same

[snowsmile21]

@LemonadeIcedTea01 my teacher told me in the book grizabella will take Old Deuteronomy's place

[lovelylittlevulpix]

@LemonadeIcedTea01

That's what I thought as well ealier today. Munkustrap just seems so... noble and true, like a leader should be. I'm starting to think that Munkustrap might quite possibly be either Deuteronomy's son or apprentice.

[NatalieAnnFox]

1:55 (on top of car) Jerrie starts clawing Teazers leg XD

[asimmervideo]

i have a werid feeling that all the cats are kissing up to him cause he choses who gets to be reborn ........... exspecialy at 3:04 ! ._. o.0

[asimmervideo]

mungo and rumple in the backround at 1:03 =)

[asimmervideo]

is he* old cat guy* nessercery cause idk that is my opion ;/

[Shmook1]

I think Old Duteronomy is Mr. Mistoffelees's (and Tugger's) father.

[LaSofy94]

I love Tugger and Munks's duet ♥

[KittenMarieLove]

I love at 1:32 when Rum Tum Tugger says ninty nine :33

[Divaratrika]

@ensb12 thats Pouncival not Tumblebrutus

[ensb21]

3:02 munkustrap kneels and thn tumble runs into him lol

[TheLastGarou]

Every time I hear Rum Tum Tugger mention Old Deuteronomy's 'numerous progeny' I can't help but think he must be one of them. I mean, who else would a Cat like 'Tugger bow to if not his own father?

[Asrastar]

@ 2:30 I love the look on Rum Tum Tuggar's face as he sees Old Deuteronomy coming.

[cheeseandmusic24]

at 1:02 it looks like Munks is telling them a bed time story :) and at 1:55 Skimble checking to see if he smells :)

[cheeseandmusic24]

at 1:02 it looks like Munks is telling them a bed time story :)

[Nylrac13]

Wow! From 1:04 to 1:09, you can see Mungo and Rump in the background, and Mungo is breathing so hard it looks like it hurts! His chest is heaving!! It's easy to see who has one of the most difficult introductory songs/dances in the movie!

[Divaratrika]

0:56 i see Rumpel and Mungo doing some snuggling in the background

[Xk8rsx]

I get such chills when they all sing together...love it

[Jinksyfire]

I love how at 3:25, after Tugger bows to him, Old Deautoronomy is all like "Oh yeah, I got Rum Tum Tugger to bow to me! Whose the King of the Cats now baby!" ^_^

[Asrastar]

I love it when Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger sings together!!!

[shordi09]

i get chills when the rum tum tugger starts singing

[TheLadyshad]

Mungojerrie at 3:54 :)

[TheLadyshad]

I love how Tugger bows to Old Deuteronomy.

[TheLadyshad]

Sooo im falling for Tugger as I type lol. But anyways...I love how from 2:25 - 2:36 he's just casually singing with Munk then looks up like heyyyy it really is him lol.

[00MokaAkashiya00]

This song makes me shiver every time I hear it. I LOVE this song!

[MissBuyNLarge]

i'm sorry, but if i ever get a cat of my own and its a guy i'm either naming it Macavity or Old Deuteronomy

[DarkKnight3542]

i love when rum tumm tugger and munkustrap sing togetherb at 2:11

[JemimaCatsFan]

It's so cute how Misto say's "Old Deuteronomy?!"

[XxDrenchedinsinxX]

Five hours after the ball Munkustrap sits down and scowls at the Rum Tum Tugger.

"What," Asks Tugger noticing Munkustrap.

"Has anyone told you it's rude to point?"

"Hey- .....yes,"

Lol, He always points at people in this! <3

[Lionpaw1234]

Tugger sounds sexy when he says 99. man, I wish I was a cat

[ValtronW]

It's the Oogie Boogie Man. :D

[AcuAwaGomu]

when i was a kid i thought old deuteronomys actor was wearing a rug.

[Thriller94]

@AcuAwaGomu It's because he is. xD

[rla123451]

@AcuAwaGomu omg so did i!

[beccacox98]

@AcuAwaGomu He is still reffered to as 'The Big Carpet' in my household

[MeiMei228]

I never thought I would find myself attracted to a guy who sings and dances and wears a cat suit.

[tete1030]

I adore this!! 

[PeaceForMiddleEarth]

I adore this song. It's so beautiful. Everything from Misto's soft, "Old Deuteronomy?" to Munk and Tugger's handsome, whole voices. Wonderful. I would listen to this all the time.

[BoredomBrat]

I had to watch this in my ELA class a few weeks ago because we were studying the poem this was based on, and I was pretty sure that it would be boring and ancient.

....I . WAS. WRONG!!! It was awesome and active! =) We begged our teacher to replay it, but she decided to show us only some of the songs. Meanie.

[musicalfan2011]

i love tugger in this song

[robmans42]

i love the movie, i've never seen it on stage, but i love the movie, i have it on dvd, and i'm watching it and listening to this song write now, it's a great musical

[EmilYxSax]

...As soon as Deuteromony cam,e on I was like .....Oogie Boogies here ♥ xxx

[musicalfan2011]

[simbelina22]

omg! Christian from eastenders!

[bluecatpaw]

most beautiful song in cats - if you ignore memory.

[13Mimzz]

@bluecatpaw I hate memory, it made me cry the first time I saw that song, haven't seen it since.

[PrincessRainbow99]

i love how tugger points

its kind of like

"WHA-CHAA"

lol

[maybeitsmimi]

I love Deuteronomy. He's like the father and they are all his children...maybe some literally are!

[TwistedRising]

My local theater is doing this but I can't participate!!! They wanna charge me $550 to be in CATS!!! TT.TT

[FleetingDream100]

oh my god tugger's voice is soo beautiful i really like it

[Silvertearinthenight]

I'm sorry...I laughed at 3:55 cause Mungojerrie was like yeeeeaaah

[askjiir]

@Silvertearinthenight

It's great to see that such seemingly small, emotional processes in our minds, really isn't that small at all. I hadn't expected that so many others would consciously or unconsciously pick up on this small moment in the actors performance.

As a performer, and a thinking, living human being, this is indeed interesting to behold.

[shrewtamer33]

I can't help but giggle a little bit when Rum Tum Tugger's just all over how many wives Old Deuteronomy's had. XD

[greenemo13]

Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger sound amazing when they sing together at 2:10 to 2:36 ^_^

[JohnLuckPickard141]

Background at 1:51 - 2:00 is proof that Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are mates.

[EmoCosplayer16]

@JohnLuckPickard141 but arnt they like brother and sister.?0_o

[JohnLuckPickard141]

@EmoCosplayer16 No, there are a lot of pairs in this musical that can be either mates or siblings, such as Mistoffelees and Victoria, Coricopat and Tantomile, or Pouncival and Etcetera.

[inkkulol]

@EmoCosplayer16 you know, in real life cats don't have a problem with mating with their siblings, parents or kids, so if they're trying to be somehow realistic in some ways in this film, they just might be both siblings and mates

[horseanddoglover777]

4:17 another exotica sighting!

I've made it my personal mission to spot exotica in every scene I can lol

[MsDariella]

i found exotica! ha! at 3:56 she's next to asparagus and in front of Old Deu!

[beccaiscolness4life]

I love how how Rum Tum Tugger bows to Old Deuteronomy!

[amberjane9]

My friend gave me Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats for Christmas. I spent the day reading it and singing it and dancing around my house. It was awesome.

[lilfairyfeet]

@amberjane9 i give you 500 cool points for that, my friend. i'd do the same xD

[JohnLuckPickard141]

@amberjane9 I got it for my birthday!

[curlyarax]

tugger's hot .. .3:38 give me chills.....

[curlyarax]

tugger's hot .. .

[GrandPrix55]

Absolutely polished. Beautiful!

[PeterPanDisneyDork]

i pity the guy who played Old Deuteronomy... he practically wears a shaggy rug...

[MsDariella]

@PeterPanDisneyDork

when i was little, the first time i saw this was when my babysitter brought her copy. I thought Old Deuteronomy was wearing a carpet!

[missy7618]

I just love Alonzo -3

[joe59788]

I really just don't get this.

[DAisbetter]

hey, there's a mistake! at 0:39 Cassandra slides into a split but in the far shot she's standing up and doing it again!! lol fail!

[Nekochan1408]

Why men who can sing are sooooooo hot. X) Makes me swoon. 

[warlordbabe]

@TheWierdos101 Misto and Victoria are brother and sister.

[Janeyyy94]

lol at 2:41 Plato steps on Ademtus' tail.

[BbyBanxs17]

I Love How At 2:30 , Tugger Relizes Its Him (:

[abbyangel9]

I love those brothers. MUNKUSTRAP AND TUGGER FOREVER!

[BolgerGirl]

i love munkustrap

[Apjooz]

Sorry she is of course Jemima. I don't know why but when Old D says "I must go slow" it seems funny, it's like yeah, you ARE old, old man. :) But what does he say after that? :/

[Apjooz]

Jamima slids past Old Deuteronomy at 3:03. Heh. :D

[Apjooz]

Man Mungojerrie is out of breath in the background.

[plskeepmesignedin]

I love this song. The cats have so much respect for him its sweet. My mind may be wondering but i confess... so gorgeous.

[Minan3]

the seven dislikes was by Macavity's seven multiple accounts

[faerinelda]

@Minan3 Looks like he set up a new account... 8 now! ... tut tut tut

[Minan3]

@faerinelda he's become such a cavity, really

[Minan3]

I came close to crying when I heard this, its been a while since I last bought this movie from a Phar-Mor store, ten years or so back then

[shadowsandflame]

I love plato's cute little spaz moment at the very end. 4:16- 4:18
