That was a wonderful video to watch.....what a great close family you are...I really enjoyed the video and the song...thanks so much for your time and effort to put this together....
this version was used in "L.A. Confidential," great version! have to say a positive outlook is worth more than anyone can imagine. a positive, hopeful outlook carried so many people all over the world through the depression and WWII
I heard this song in the film "L.A. Confidential" and have loved it ever sense! I love the message, the way it starts so dark and turns all happy is just awesome... great stuff!!!
@kovenantkiller : What exactly is scary about the comment "ALL AMERICAN" ? It has been said a million and one times in this country, but suddenly "It's scary" ? I don't understand your concern and I consider myself to be 100% "ALL AMERICAN".
I am so amazed that people are enjoynig this little gift I made for my folks. I never thought it would go over a few hundred views. Wow! Thanks for watching. Peace.
if anyone is in the rochester, ny area i just got cast in a show about called the Johnny Mercer Jamboree at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre. Shows are August 15th-September 19th.
A few months ago my grandfather passed away. This was one of his favorite songs that he sang. It always lifted the spirits of those around him and made the family laugh. Thank you so much for posting this vid, I love it!
Absolutely ghastly and insulting to Mercer and just about everyone intelligent in the world (viz: not America). Good grief.

This comment, while made with good intention, is a bit scary.
What is an "All American"?
