Jan & Kjeld : Banjo boy 1959

[frozenhell98]

this is one of the weirdest songs I have heard. im creeped out

[MrWiidman420]

uhhhh, how did i get here?

[Kerhuz]

The video is paused, yet they move... Evil i say!!!

[LittleSweety]

This song was 50 years ago no.1 in the german year-end-charts #jan #and #kjeld

[putputtrain]

this is german with a nordish dialect!!!

[orion8352]

@etherbreaker Ze zijn Denen, niet Duitsers.

[Benj888]

Totally my theme song.

[SgtOBrien]

Wenn man bedenkt, wie jung die Kinder damals noch ausgesehen haben in dem Alter. Aber gut, da ist man ja auch noch blutjung und darf das sein. Heute sehen die mit 10 Jahren schon verlebt aus...

[MrWelchey]

the mandlynn in the midel my unkel has that 1

[dannyrod2170]

Damn, they´re ugly!!!! ;-)

[BOT101st]

formbys is still better :D

[TheFerslev]

god

[Pego59]

Dieses Lied habe ich Katrin aus Hamburg gewidmet, meiner "kleinen Sandkastenqueen"...! Wir waren schon damals Klasse...!

[WalksWithJesusChrist]

Wouldn't it be great to turn on the TV nowadays and see something as innocent as this? I think it's pretty cool myself, especially the nose bit at 1:00. I do wonder where they are now. This must've been the danish equivalent of Flatt & Scruggs.

[sweetsaltsea]

I'm freaked out and have no idea why. I don't even hate this song. I'm just--freaked.

[neon854]

I'm Danish and still not impressed.

[LittleSweety]

This song was 50 years ago no.10 in the world charts

[LittleSweety]

This song was 50 years ago no.10 in the world charts

[jackie77m]

[pompenel]

Super!

[herberar]

I agree it is a  hard -to -explain experience . Nothing 's gonna be the same after seeing this .

My friend Hans and I , have been playing banjos for 20 years,but now, I dont know man. Auf wiedersen kameraden !

[Aschenbecherrr]

omg die fresse :D 0:45

[26highstreet]

Competely bizzare, i was half expecting hitler to come in and start dancing around.

Where are they now? anybody know?

Bet they turned into a right pair of pyschos.

[thebetterhalf37]

this is kinda creepy...

[beammegill]

holy crap!

[JustAnotherX]

Det er jo lidt for sejt, det der.

[TheDeering1]

i listen to this all the time i just love the banjo. i just wish these guys would have done more. i enjoy them so much

[petervanvliet1961]

CAMP song en populair onder homo,s

[Peki1946]

@ Reesymai zu der Zeit werdet ihr kaum ein Plattenspieler für 5,00 DM ersteigert haben!

Da wahr noch kein Ebay und so ... nicht einmal bei Pfandversteigerungen hast du ein für nen fünfer bekommen!!!!!

Man, man ..............................­....

[sususs1947]

das war mein Lleblingslied als ich 12 Jahre alt war.....in den 50ziger...heute bin ich 62.....

[Reesymai]

das Lied kenne ich noch sehr gut, es war die erste Platte zum Plattenspieler meiner Eltern.Meine Mutter hat den Song den ganzen Tag geduddelt.Mein Vater hatte den Plattenspieler für 5 D-Mark ersteigert.Wir waren die Kings in unserer Straße. Denn keiner hatte einen Plattenspieler.

[hejdiddan]

er der ingen sange hvor de synger på dansk ? xD / is there no songs where they sings on danish ? xD

[redneckjwillo]

is that german

[orion8352]

Two Danish brothers.

[torpedohorst]

@orion8352

Yes, but why do they sing german lyrics?

[orion8352]

@torpedohorst German language is easyer to understand then Danish.

[totaltjefflamorker]

@orion8352 Depends on who your singing to.

[MFSundahl]

@orion8352 Not if you are danish!

[neon854]

@torpedohorst Because their is no commercial market for Danish music. We are only five or six million people who speak Danish - and were many fewer then!

[Reesymai]

yes is german.

[Drachenarsch]

kenni ch gar net^^

[49visje]

[binzing]

I've got a mandolin almost exactly like the one in between them. Cool old clip, thanks for posting.

[nancyfloressantos]

Very reminiscent of my childhood days......thanks very much for having it shared ( :

[TheVerdammmich]

[bengalisch]

a proof that everything was better than war in the 50s...

[dkfelix]

As grow ups they had a hit with "Elefantsangen"

[dkfelix]

No, dkfelix, you are wrong on that one. That was Henning Vilén with "Elefantsangen".He also had a hit with "Telefonen", which Jan og Kjeld covered!

[LittleOldRock]

Nej! Det var ikke Jan & Keld, men 2 fyre der hed

Jan & Rene.

[Animatics1Solstice]

Funny, as in just weird...

[kasperkim]

They are scary :D

[Witheredgoogie]

Very catchy and very trippy.

Oh No HELP ! I will not be able to get this out of my head for weeks now. AAH!

[TakeTwoVideos]

I think they're cute and their singing is great! Loved the backdrop with all the instruments. Nice touch. I gave them a 5-star!!!

[waallpaper]

Its Damian !!!!!!!!!

[Ghaeis666]

Holy shit.. gutter i er klasse, bare min søn bliver som jer!

[fiddlerman1]

Man they got some sharp teeth!!! Id hate to meet up with them in an alley!!

[totaltjefflamorker]

This is scary as all hell. Those kids seriusly creep me out.

[trickles1]

it has nothing in common with music but it's good for drinking beer and marching - right stuff for the german market

[sharpanator]

wtf? definately it is music you twat just in another language, this is just the music from the 50s, wake up dude!

[Isidore98]

This is an (English) George Formby song and this (for the English certainly) is a nightmare! Curiosity however draws one in.

[sharpanator]

dude, this song by the two danish brothers was a hit 1959 and was quite famous in the US. It was the style of the 50s and your George formby had his song "banjo boy" 1960.

[Edthebanjo]

At 0:44 his face it realy scary

[lomeril]

Could be from the film "Identity" in the end scene. Creepy.

[Markoloppogus]

I used to own this 45. On the other side of the 45 there was another good song. Any change you can publish that one too? I think it was called "mach doch nicht so viel wind", or so.

[mr1spamification]

ccan you saaaaaaaaaaay retarded little idiots who need a life?

[Lokasena]

by the Gods,

that really takes me back...

[SiSMassaka]

this is the most famous children song ever .... No song sung by kids was longer in the charts then this one

[ErnestGibb]

Kjeld Wennick is a judge today in the Danish version of AMERICAN IDOLS. How about that for the history books.

[ErnestGibb]

Danish Jan & Kjeld Wennick were only 13 and 15 years old when they hit it big with Banjo Boy in 1959. Kjeld sang the lead and the 2 year younger brother, Jan, took care of the harmony taught to them by a musically talented father. Unforgettable is Kjeld's incomparable caricature of Louis Armstrong - both voice - and trumpet (with only voice and hands!Due to the arrival of the big bang from Liverpool and their changing voices the brothers called it quits in 1966.

[orion8352]

Thank you very much for your information.

Mange tak.

[Deifux]

orion is that u?

[orion8352]

No of course not.Jan & Kjeld are 2 Danish Brothers born in 1944 and 1946.

I am from Holland.

[xxhukkoxx]

They are danish but sing in german? can you explain that? :s

[orion8352]

If you sing in German you can sell more records then in Danish.

[xxhukkoxx]

Thats prolly true. Why not English then? You could sell even more.

[fliselise]

you better go back to school, they sing in english

i'm danish and understand german very good, even dutch

[xxhukkoxx]

De synger tysk, ikke Engelsk :s

[aronron2727]

fliselise. Hahahahahahahahahahaha !!!

Please, are you joking ?

Are you drunk ? Are you sick ?

The words "Little Banjo Boys" are English but all the song is in german !!!!!!!!!!!

How old are you ?

Maybe you should go back yourself to school !

[zackelby]

All those spinning instruments are really stupid and distracting

[ztlc19]

I loved it

[kjeldovich]

thats me

[giggleblaggle]

Really?? Prove it

[schlagerhansi]

schauderhaft - wie zwei dressierte Äffchen!

[Widdi88]

The coloring looks great for late 50s. The song is very old-fashioned. And yes this is sung in german. Singing kids if from sweden, denmark (one of the guys was born in sweden, the other in denmark), germany or Netherlands were somewhat common back in the 50s and 60s

[PwnedByDave]

ROFL what a song

[marujequ]

I thought Kjeld was the boy with the dark hair.

[orion8352]

Yes Kjeld is the one with the dark hair.

Ja Kjeld zit aan de rechterkant.

[Fizzlekik]

thats german, nocht danish

[boedda2007]

nice, never saw it before.

[marujequ]

Thanks very much

[RyanGolddRedux]

Very nice!

[k6tpl]

Very good! Like the special effects that they used back in the 50's
