Trouble in River City

[MonkeyDLuffy444]

Flim & Flam, nuff said

[Shinmeiryu]

If this is suppose to take place in 1912, then how can the boys read "Whizz Bang," since it was initially published in 1919?

[Suraht]

I may be a brony, but The Music Man was the first musical I ever saw on stage. I love this song.

[CHCHuser]

Trouble with the capital T, and it rhymes with P, and it stands for Ponies!

[knucklesXrouge2256]

Well lookie what we got here brother of mine It's the same in every town

Ponies with thirsty throats dry tounges and not a drop of cider to be found

[ginnonifu]

look at all the skinny people! you sure don't see pretty people like THAT anymore :( I hate my generation

[TwiggehLeaf]

@ginnonifu Skinny doesn't always equal pretty, my friend. That's just our recent generation's and culture's idea.

[ginnonifu]

@TwiggehLeaf more what I meant was that it was nice to see people who weren't morbidly obese

[ginnonifu]

HA! All the pony posts. Who else is reminded of Walter Bishop by the con man?

[WaterInAMelon]

My trouble is that this is stuck in my head.

[Fadeypoo]

And all that done in one take! We rarely see skill like this any more. Memories of my Father listening to this. 'And so's your old man!' hehe. Great stuff!

[Gamer2k4]

@Fadeypoo What makes you think it was done in one take?

[Fadeypoo]

@Gamer2k4 Well, the number was pre-recorded (not in one take) and he lip synced the whole number during filming, in one go. If you search 'tony awards music man' you will see.

[puffballtwin]

And here we have the white version of Busta Ryhmes.

[CantThinkOfANickName]

dude...O.O...this guy is like...mass manipulator...damn. Wish I had those kinds of skillz.

[christmas2akittykat]

THANKS, I NEED TO MEMORIZE THIS!!!!!

[janeeyre1990]

I can't not hear him say "horse sex" at 1:08.

[CaptKundalini]

Charlie Cowell: "Then he organizes the kids into a band with himself as the Leader."

Salesman 1: "Well, what's wrong with that?"

Charlie Cowell: "HE DON'T KNOW ONE NOTE...FROM ANOTHER! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT! He don't know a bass drum from a pipe organ. He's a bare faced, double shuffle two bit thimble rigger!"

[Cadeho3]

I swear I saw this at the Iowa State Fair before the Ames Straw Poll...

[desertroses19]

I like the fact that he's such a good con artist that he has them believing that a pool table is going to cause all kinds of trouble for their children. Normally a person wouldn't believe that, but he explains it in a way that anyone could believe it haha

[Mspendragon72]

@desertroses19 ..that's the truth! LOOL!!

[Makoons9]

Prof. Hill = the first Foxnews

[303707sithlord]

One of my favs love this movie

[Rorschach65]

beautiful!!



[KenSassano]

A regular Artie Gillman performance perpetuates the genius of this legendary act!

[Kraftwerkable]

I love Music Man so much. 

[50sniffies]

This is outstanding, they never should have remade this with Matthew Broderick. It robs everybody today of the best perfrmance.

[CaptKundalini]

@50sniffies Broderick was COMPLETELY out of his league! His was a half ass performance. Robert Preston would have spun in his grave if he hadn't been cremated. I saw "The Music Man" in its first run during the early 1960's.

If you want to see how it's done, you can rent the entire movie right here on You Tube.

[LintuWaterfall]

@CaptKundalini ah...oh I love the old Musicals....those guys and gals had talent. Dancing, Singing, Acting,

and DEM FACES!!! XD

[blood9797]

wow the 60's was a sheltered time.

[wasp9]

@blood9797 Are you stupid? This obviously doesn't take place in 1960- it's 1912.

[blood9797]

@wasp9 i'm talking about when the movie was made

[mariamf1]

Ahaa and so's your old man!

[Allhearts100]

With a capital T

And that rhymes with P

And that stands for Pool!

[KrisSSLy]

5 people like pool

[inarisarp]

5 people like playing games with 15 numbered balls...

Sounds frighteningly similar to Francis E. Dec.

[WhalOz]

Ah oh ragtime.

When I clicked the link I was hoping to see people getting the change beat out of them

[TheKornbeef]

That site called Reddit gave me a few viruses and had to get a new computer. Dont go there.

[alienkid]

@TheKornbeef bullshit

[vectoor91]

@TheKornbeef Ain't that the truth

[OmegaVesko]

@TheKornbeef You bought a new PC because it had viruses?

[TheKornbeef]

@OmegaVesko Depends, are you a redditor?

Can I sell someone a Monorail?

1960's rap.

[Phyanketto]

I think this concept could be applied to cider.



[ClarenceJBoddicker]

Isn't that the guy from the Last Starfighter?

[EmilyElle]

is... is this the set from Gilmore Girls?

[7waffle]

@EmilyElle

No, are you retarded?

[EmilyElle]

@7waffle No. I thought people would realize I was kidding. Guess not. I'll go back to not commenting on Youtube videos. It's wiser.

[TheOctopwn]

I hear those things are awfully loud!

[ColdFusionGames]

This song is so good.

[higrack]

Best rapper ever.

[nhcrank]

@higrack Definitely, that's the first thing that jumped into my head. These days this would be comparable to an underground flow.

[Viper2026]

i don't really know what i just watched but this is awesome

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

Oh Republicans, you so silly.

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

They outlawed marijuana shortly thereafter.

[paradiddlepedro]

O I saw this in music theory ha

[malditonuke]

democracy FTL

[greyflcn]

@malditonuke

To be honest, I'd far rather democracy that's representative of the population.

It's rather aggrivating how small states, particularly rural states get dramatically more political power than is justified by their size of their geography/population.

Kinda makes me wish we had a Parliament instead.

[BabyrapeMcmethlab]

@greyflcn the amount of representatives is decided population, I'm either not understanding you correctly or you're not understanding the constitution correctly.

[greyflcn]

@BabyrapeMcmethlab

Senate.

California, New York, and Texas each get 2 Senate Representatives.

Delaware, Vermont, and New Hampshire each get 2 Senate Representatives.

A Parliament on the other hand would be similar to as if we got rid of the Senate.

[1mastasmt]

@greyflcn

House of Representatives Is based on population. There are two houses of Congress one the House of Reps the other the Senate. And Without having the Senate the smaller states would have never adopted the Constitution so you should be happy that we have the Senate.

[greyflcn]

@1mastasmt

Perhaps. However one also has to consider that we aren't living in the 1700's anymore.

And we've got some seriously dysfunctional law practices because of it.

Just kinda feels like, "Be happy you were born a cripple"

[Licetrainer]

[L307ug4]

is he rapping?!

[CohortMusic]

If you want to hear some serious flow, listen to the instrumental of Aesop Rock's "None Shall Pass" in the background. Mind = blown.

[appfactoryza]

FRITTERING!

[CBiscuit25]

Reddit made my house explode ):

[EldMage]

Reddit gave me a virus! Don't go there

[M2drix]

@EldMage did reddit give you a virus or were you clicking on porn links?

[EldMage]

@M2drix Reddit gave me a virus.

[GeneralGuy50]

@EldMage dumb shit

[M2drix]

@EldMage can you elaborate? Reddit is a site that displays links and text in forum format. If you got a virus you clicked on a link you shouldnt have, or most likely you were being stupid on your computer and blaming your ignorance on reddit.

[EldMage]

@M2drix Google "Reddit gave me a virus", Sherlock.

MONORAIL!!!!

[SiXiam]

The Last Starfighter

[Pull0utBoy]

"the idle mind is a devil's playground"

this due basically wants people to be distracted and not to think for themselves.

How brilliant old cinema was. Fuck all these new shit movies with rough and tough bad ass dudes killing everyone for the truth and to save that one hot babe. It worked in super mario, but mario was awesome and was imaginative all these new movies have the same jason stathem esque actor and the same premise... no imagination. Ugh!

[RDLoehrke]

Frittering is my favorite pastime.

[ShatteredGrace15]

'Shameless Music' oh the good old days.

[missanime00]

I love this movie! My friend Billy is playing Harold Hill for our musical version of it, and he almost is exactly like him with this song. It's freaky but so awesome! xD

[NeeChee100]

monorail!

[jessicaisgaynor]

this is white people rapping

[2011TheYearOfBieber]

i really cannot WAIT to perform this in our school musical gonna be heaps of fun even if im only in the crowd :)

[johnredhd]

I played Winthrop Paroo in this back in 1973. I was in eighth grade, and the gal that played Amaryllis was a senior. What a fun show. I would love to do it again! This movie is still one of my favorites.

[thetimpanikid]

the first rap song in history... :P

[beatnik146]

Robert Preston IS Prof. Harold Hill.

[Dannys998877]

@beatnik146 The cadences of "Trouble in River City" defeat most performers who attempt it. Only Robert Preston could actually do it right.

[smartinist]

Change "boys' to "smoking" and it ALL makes sense!!!!! They made up that trouble too! But it's selling the heck out of Nicotine replacement for Johnson and Johnson!

[mrmody]

Robert Preston, the original white rapper

I love how he raises his hands and everyone throws their hands p. My school performed this once, and the throwing up the hands was hilarious.

Ah! I live in River City (Mason City) !!! We have an amazing museum dedicated to Meredith Wilson and this movie!

[b42baritone]

If anybody wants to get into serious acting. Learn this song. If you can master it. you have a chance.

Ignorant gullible suckers believing someone who has engineered a threat.
