Barbra Streisand "Miss Marmelstein"

[detective669]

0:43, wow, where does this come from?

That`s one of my favorites Barbra's song ever, can you imagine? :) I'm always crying with laughter when I hear it.

[Hijodelaisla]

Her first Broadway production was "I Can Get It For You Wholesale" not "You Can Get It For Wholesale" although you've got the concept.

[ChristophePhilippe]

Who's the idiot who didn't like this?

[lLoveLadyGaga]

@ChristophePhilippe Lol your funny but,it wasn't me.Barbra Streisand is one good singer! ;)

[Alikah1]

@ChristophePhilippe Elliott Gould.

I've loved Barbara Streisand SO much! Especially in "Funny Girl". I'm 11 years old and I love Barbara! I have all of her Cds. and I perform this song for my grandmother every day!

[sayhello91364]

Why thumbs up? Because it was the first Broadway appearance for likely the most enduring. exquiste, mystique-filled performer of my lifetime. Barbra fans have an unmatched respect for the pure talent of their greatest star.

[ohmagaod]

thanks for posting! i noticed, in your vid description, the title of this show is wrong, it's "i can get it for you wholesale", not "you can get it for wholesale". didn't know if anyone had brought this to your attention.

[truemely777]

This song helped her land Funny Girl. Jule Styne saw her and loved her in this.

i have to say this as a monologue for my theatre class. its taking forever to memorize! any tips?

[iluv2hula]

i luv showtunes!!! they are awesome!!!

[nooksak1]

i woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head lol....

[Shteffii]

I know I know...I love showtunes and older music. Click thumbs up if you agree that this is real music!!

[Shteffii]

My friends think I'm a nutter for being a huge fan of Barbra but seriously, I think ther silly for listening to over-commercial 'music' that has been processed so much a computer practically did all the work. Todays singers got nothing against Babs.

[jessiethegeek]

amen to that.i get weird looks for listening to showtunes and 70s and sixties and eighties music whilst my other middle school friends sit and l;isten to their rap and heavy metal which ,if it has a tune,its lost.

[Javaisreve]

I know Barbra has had a wonderful career in film and the mainstream music industry but I wish she had done more on the stage, she is a brilliant actress and the performances she did in the first few years of her career are just breathtaking

[lovemovies02]

her laugh at 2.26 is just so funny hahahahah

[MedicalExaminersRule]

It's soo WOW!!!!!!!!! Giggle!!! lamo!

[Javaisreve]

wow her voice was mindblowing then

[lovemovies02]

true but it still is now dont you think.....

[shinofan1]

This is so boring! Who would ever watch this crap!?

[LoveHowardBanister]

Well since you are only 14 years old, I can understand this being boring. But for us "older" folks, we love it. Barbra is a little slow you who enjoy faster paced music and videos.

[shinofan1]

But i really wnat to know what kind of excitment you get from this? just tell me how this music fills you eith fun!? I'm honestly curious?

I like fast music because of the thrill and the nice beat!

[LoveHowardBanister]

Yes, I can understand that. I do also, but you like it more because that's what you are growing up listening to. I was raised on Doris Day and Judy Garland, so naturally this kind of music I prefer, but I do like some modern artists like Kelly Clarkson.

[shinofan1]

But what is it that makes you perfer them? Old music has no real style or charisma its just "Ohhhh my mama said she would take meee to disneylaaaand" I just really would like to know why this music isnt boring to you!

[LoveHowardBanister]

Because it's what I grew up with. It has clever words, and I love big bands and swing, and that's what older music is. I also prefer the older singers. It's just because that's how I was brought up...if you had been born fifty years ago this would sound pretty good also. And since you're listening to modern day pop, this music is going to sound boring.

[shinofan1]

Well i just watched this because my mom is auditioning for Caberet and she wants the part of Fraulein Schneider...I dont really like plays... Although I'm in my high school play M*A*S*H And I play Radar...I like plays buit I just dont like musicals...

[shinofan1]

[lovemovies02]

im only 17 and i love her!! it started when i saw her film funny girl, all the songs stuck in my head and i wanted to hear more of her and now i love all her songs. it depends if you care about what the person is singing about. Barbras songs have real meaning to them and people 'buy it' because she is such a good actress. seriously check out her films, a lot of her good songs are from many of her films.

[alyssa5678warren]

I'm only 10 years old and I LOVE Barbra!

[LoveHowardBanister]

Yes, I'm actually not that old and I adore Babs. There are just some people that don't...what I meant by "older" was people who have more mature tastes in music, not in age...so glad to meet someone with great taste!

[jessiethegeek]

yea evryone thinks that we yungns only like rasp and heavy stuff.we youtubers need to get together and from a diabolical plan.andi love this song.i am perfecting my babs imitation lool:P

[gabsylv]

Only about a billion people

[alyssa5678warren]

The photo at 1:27 doesn't look like Barbra Streisand.

[lovemovies02]

heya. im only 17 and i just love her!! it started when i saw funny girl, shes a brilliant actress and her character attracted me to her songs and the lyrics are just so moving, and you actualy 'buy it'. I dont get any satisfaction out of new music nowadays. maybe in the future you will like this,. seriosuly though check out her films, she had a lot of good songs in her movies

[albertdiner]

Very good. You forgot to include the chair, a vital part of this song. Nice photos.

[LoveHowardBanister]

I beg your pardon? Oh, you mean the picture of her sitting in that chair from the show?

[albertdiner]

She almost got fired for singing the song in

her secreatry chair. The audience loved it.

[LoveHowardBanister]

You mean she wasn't supposed to sing it in the chair? Haha. Sounds like Barbra, being herself.
