  • House of 1000 Corpses :)

  • I always imagine otis killing people everytime y hear this song, house of 1000 corpses, what an awesome movie.

  • Love it!

  • Memories of this brought a tear to an old army sweat while on active service in the Middle East during the early 50's

  • Great singer

  • You learn something everyday. I always thought Frank Ifield's version in Aug 1962 was an original arrangement. Apparently not so if this was recorded in the early 1950's

  • total brilliant fantastic song  memories

  • Cannot be duplicated!!! Awesome voice and song!

  • correction it was the 50s

  • my girl overdosed on opiates last april. this was our song.... this one goes out to you my angel. see you in the skies

  • love it all american

  • I absolutely love this song........

  • Slim Whitman has the gift of a beautiful voice! No one can sing any kind of song - greater than Slim. Thank goodness he shared his fantastic music with us all. Marje Morgan..Member of The SWAS on Facebook...

  • Many have tried to sing this song, I am afraid they could not match Slim.

    Muriel xx Thanks for postingljimmie2.

  • @REDLEN308GTB Frank Ifield copied it exactly 10 years after Slim did this.

  • ah very nice music from Slim Whitman الفنان الكبير

  • wasnt this song in mars attacks?

  • @BRm2008 No. The song that was used in Mars Attacks was "Indian Love Call." This song was used in "House of 1000 Corpses."

  • Let's get this straight; it was Frank Ifield who brought this song back to life in 1962 and unless I'm mistaken Slim covered Frank on both the song and arrangement. That's not to say I don't like Slim singing the song, but let's get the facts right shall we?

  • @tarquin45 So Frank's version with the Norrie Parramore orchestra was indeed the original arrangement??? I recall it was #35 one week in the top 40, and #1 the next. I'll try to do some research on Slim Whitman's discography. Ifield had a purple patch of hits and they were big sellers in Australia.

  • Klasse Song ! 

  • Great song!

  • I heard this song on "House of 1000 Corpses". I love it.

  • I gfrew up with this song in the 1950s and have never forgotten it. It is an all time classic and no one ever duplicated that sound.

  • what a sweet voice...

  • Nobody sings this song like Slim!

  • ====(^.^)===={~.~}====(+.+)===­=??????

  • My first love taught me how to dance to this this very tune in 1960; How prophetic. I will remember her when I recall the thrill of it all when my life is through too.

  • @MrSirGareth

    LMAO amazing. thanks for sharing that with us.

  • This song scares me for some odd reason. Great song, just gives off some bad vibes. :p

  • @meganbrenda You must have seen House of 1000 corpses?

  • RIP Jaantje R.

  • My husband was killed in wwLL and that was his song to me

  • @desireee1939 ...heroes to their country, and carriers of love in life become like the angels in heaven...to enjoy eternal joy with God. You will see him again.

  • What is wrong with you people it is just a song. 

  • I've never heard of this gentleman, Slim Whitman. What a great moanful sound, easy to listen to !

  • This song on House of 1000 corpses gives me the chills. Kinda scares me also :O

  • the boogie man is real...and youuuve found him

  • we miss you andy

    

  • thumbs up if you knew of this way before some movie

  • reminds me of my grandma i miss her alot :'(

  • My Grandfathers favourite singer, RIP Grandpa.

  • house of 1000 Corpses xDDD

  • Wow reading some of these comments many of you are sick and act like children.

  • "Otis, Otis!" Run Rabbit Run.

  • I love this song

  • the cops act is so scary in that scene

  • ijurcough"bend over , and suck your too small prick.,if I find you , i cut You in a Thousend pieces

  • This is real country, not like this pop crap we have now.

  • @JAT763 Exactly! I'm not really a Country and Western music fan having grown up on Pop and R&B,but why is it that just about every country and western song that I like,from either male or female C&W artists,hails from the '50s and '60s? Is it possibly because those older songs had some memorable melodies(one can hum), great instrumental licks, a simple message,and yes,a catchy "hook",among other things?

    Sam Cooke said a good song has a "hook" line or sound.Today's C&W music has no "hooks". :(

  • @PalaniRides yea thats the point. Music today will never be memorable, It isn't art, it's now just a product.

  • @PalaniRides I love Slim Whitman's version of this song, but it was not originally written as C&W. It dates from 1941 and was composed as a ballad by Victor Schertzinger (the music) and Johnny Mercer (the lyric). During the '40s it was recorded by many pop stars. Several versions are available on YouTube.

  • such a wise man ,, aged 13 years?, or less

  • frank ifield's versioin is the best ever version....ifield is linked to this song forever....but slim whitman does a good job on this song too....

  • Slim is (or was) the Man!

  • haunting beauty of love

  • too good

  • This is a singer's voice! An instrument all it's own and played to perfection.

  • Does anyone know what album THIS verion of the song is on?

    Itunes has 2 version of this song, and neither are THIS version.

  • anybody remember when johnny carson said on the tonight show, "who the hell is slim whitman?" i said, i sho nuff do and hes great!

  • BOOM!

  • I remember the Frank Ifield version from the 60's

  • frank ifields version was no where as good as this it the first time i have heard Slim Whitman sing this song it great

  • How could anyone dislike this song? I should find those three people and punch them in the face while I sing this. Sing it with all my heart, tears streaming.

  • @danamcwonderful

    Listening to the song made me cry.

  • uhuh!! very very nice!!!! thx 4 posting phylis.

  • I love his singing I do not understand why he is not more popular.... to bad..some did not promote him....

  • I fall back to this song frequently. The loss of my father in law is most recent.

  • house of 1000 corpses song(: when the cops get killed(:

  • great song to pwn som police

  • So beautiful. And it's got a great sound. You did a good job. Thanks alot. I love all of Slim's music. Such a voice. Thanks alot to you too Slim. Love you.

  • Thank you for posting it! I love this song so much: it's got sweet and playful mood remembering those good, old days, which I've never lived...:(

  • great voice. i prefer this version to frank ifield's. but both are great.

  • Thumbs up if you're thinking of Mars Attacks

  • Otis Driftwood thumbs up if you want to be shot by him!

  • @InkedinRI Yes I totes want to be shot by a mad man who will have sex with my corpse.

  • @InkedinRI I want him to cut me like a pig and make me eat my own intestines

  • One dislike,MMMmmm. Maybe Frank Ifield watched this.

  • @tuguybear hahahahah

  • Thumbs up if you came here thinking of House of 1000 Corpses.

  • reminds me off conkers badfurday

  • Frank Ifield sang it back in 1962. Close...but no cigar. Slim rules

  • I had forgotten just how good he was. This is fantastic!

  • still kickin. highly underrated! love ya slim!

  • Some of the sound quality on these early recordings is so good it is eerie ; )

  • It's also the song that repelled the martian invasion

  • @vangion

    Actually that song is called Indian Love Call which is another great song from this wonderful singer.

  • @necrocannibal

    I just remember it as the song that repelled the Martian invasion in Mars Attacks

    When I was a kid Ronco or some such company was marketing his albums, that was the first I ever heard of him, but apparently he was a big hit in England

  • @vangion I grew up in new zealand and remember him vividly from my childhood.Maybe he was famous everywhere but america.There huge loss i'de say.

  • @tuguybear There are many of those stars

    I have to agree, a truly uniques and amazing voice

    I wonder how many singers were influenced by him and never gave him the credit

  • Love this song! Its got that creepy feeling to it. Plus every time I think about House of 1000 and Devils Rejects, This song comes to mind. GREAT!!

  • perfect song to drown out the screams

  • I love this song, I first heard it in 'House of 1000 Corpses'.

    LMAO 3 people 'die' in the scene when this song is playing.

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song

  • its sad what music has become today. fantastic song.

  • First heard this on House of a 1000 Corpses. Absolutely fell in love with the song.

  • I Remember my Grandfather listening to this! He's passed almost 3 years now, but yesterday I got to go through some of his old tapes! I picked out Slim, Conway Twitty and Boxcar Willie! :)

  • this song is the best i just learned it on guitar

  • this is just fantastic!!! hello from slovenia

  • It's sad that people only know this song because of "house of 1000 corpses" but it got new people listing so guess in a way it's kind of good but still sad.

  • @TheYankeefan87 House of 1000 corpses? Never heard of it so thats good news. Bad news (if you'd consider this bad) Heard it from Beavis & Butthead! Either way, good song.

  • @ISLAVERDE29 well i like Beavis & Butthead so I'll look past it and like you said it's still a good song . the only good thing in the movie is this song and some of it's cast like Karen Black & Sid Haig .

  • @TheYankeefan87

    Not really, most of "us" are forced to listen to this new pop crap, and therefore, unless our relatives show it to us, are unaware of some of these songs. So no, it's not exactly sad.

  • @AbyssCrown well who the fuck is forcing you to listen to the crap of today ,i choose to listen to what i want and so can you. you don't need a older person for you to know the great songs of the past, the songs are there and all you need to do is look for them.so it is SAD that YOU force yourself to listen to crap and that your to lazy to find something better.

  • Yes you do, because no one else reminds you of good singers such as Whitman. It doesn't just appear out of nowhere.

    And I mean that not literal (that we're forced to listen to garbage music), I mean it's just around us. At any rate, you can't find good music that isn't promoted anymore, let alone rarely talked about.

    Besides, why are you acting like a complete dick?

  • @AbyssCrown if i came off like a "dick" i'm sorry and as far as the music that's all around it's simply a matter of listening to something else . i like some of the music today but I'm oldschool. i look for music that catches me , look and you'll find great thing's.a lot of song's are past down i'll you that and some were past down to me,but when you don't like the music of today and have no one to help guide you to better stuff then what do you do , look for something better.

  • @TheYankeefan87

    Well, as long as you weren't intentionally being one than that is OK. BUt yes, it is about where to look to find good songs/singers/bands from the past, and I enjoy almost everything from the music of the 1960s through the 1800s. There may be the odd song that I like that was released in the present, but that is far and in between.

  • @AbyssCrownThank you i didn't mean to come off like a "dick", yes the 1960's and far back are great but you can't forget the 70's and some of the 80's, a little of the 90's . So please look and find the artist's that have been lost to time and enjoy , oh please tell me you know of Wanda Jackson?.if not then look and tell me what you think.

  • @TheYankeefan87

    YEah, I've heard some of her music before awhile back, but never knew her name. Though yeah, I do like her music quite a bit. Which reminded me that I wished Jerry Lee Lewis did as much rockabilly as he did rock and roll, especially since his first cover, Crazy Arms.

  • @AbyssCrown Well sorry can't change the past LOL, plus i'm not a big fan of Jerry Lee Lewis i mean i like his music but if i hear "Great balls of fire" one more time i'll kill my self .so tell me what is your favorite rockabilly female artist? , mine is well Wanda Jackson.

  • @AbyssCrown,I don't mean to be pedantic (well actually I'm fully aware that I'm being pedantic but don't wish to restrain myself)  You might find the expression is few and far between, rather than few and in between.Other than that, you make a fair point in your previous comment, music released in the last 10-20 years is mostly unimaginative drivvel, and you don't get the same quality in musicians anymore, you don't even have to hold a tune with auto tuners and computer enhancements they use now

  • i first heard this song on House of 1000 Corpses

  • Beautiful song;  magnificent voice. Thanks for posting.

  • Slimmy Dub 4 Life Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pure and lovingly,,,,a wonderful tribute to one's special love!

  • I had forgotten this song until now; thank you so so much!! Great job, clear vocals.

  • House of 1000 Corpses! :D

    In all seriousness, though, it is a very beautiful song.

  • @Gipdac1 Agree all the way. What made me search for Slim Whitman and this song was from one of the older episodes of Beavis and Butthead which was mad funny!! Its the "Ballon" episode if your wondering. Go search it here on youtube cause it's so funny. If you have problems finding it here let me know.

  • That song was at the scene when Otis Driftwood and Mother Firefly kills 2 of the local cops. My favorite scary movie is the Devil's Rejects the sequel to House of 1,000 Corpses.

  • Good--but Frank I was also good!

  • Good!

  • Great song, Slim has a really great voice, see also Rose marie another great song.

  • 100% classic by Slim Whitman *****

  • Otis blowing the dorky sheriffs

    brains out!

  • love the song man it awsome :)

  • Thank you for the upload !!! I have not heard this song in years..Thanks to William from OLdies 1960's for his help

    finding this song..5/5

  • I heard Slim singing Rosemarie in mid-50's stuck ever since as perfect....then I heard I remember you - far better than Frank Ifield's version - what a voice, what a voice!

  • i love slim whitman

  • Very handsome man. And a truly unique voice. What a talent! THANKS for sharing this delightful "blast from the past" with us! May ALL your wishes & dreams come true in the New Year! :)

  • Te recuerdo-ooh,

    Eres la que hace mis suenos verdad

    Hace unos cuantos besos

    Te recuerdo-ooh

    Eres la que dijo: Tambien te amo

    Si, yo, no lo sabias?

    °°° (\__/) ° ° °

    °°° (='.'=) °

    °°° (")_(")° ° Me gusto..Saludos!!!

  • freakyartist16, it happened the same to me ! xD

  • yes

  • one of the greatest and under rated voices in music

  • Agreed 100%. Elvis, Dean & Slim. My top 3 favorite singers of all time. Lovely voices!!!!

    No man sings this beautiful anymore!

  • agreed.

  • @braineater316 this is the version I remember best - there's a later version that just sounds like yodeling that I really don't care for

  • i love this song... has gotten stuck in my head while reminiscing about seeing house of 1000 corpses.. haevnt seen it in awhile.. one of the only country songs i'll listen to

  • right.

  • have you heard slim whitman sing rose marie? that's another one that stays in your head because it's so beautiful.

  • @freakyartist16 you need some townes van zandt

  • @freakyartist16 Something about that scene and this song that works magic. Its so out of place that it makes it creepier.

  • @freakyartist16 That movie sucks dick. It's a pity that you only know about this song from some B-rated, wanna-be horror movie. Disgusting.

  • @ijurcough What a wise comment, looks or it is posted by a 13 years old lost in a for him too intelligent world

  • @jajus125100 Lol, learn how to correctly spell and punctuate before using the Internet. Unless you're utilizing it to exploit how much of a degenerate you are. You are honestly the scum of the earth that I wipe off the bottom of my shoes. And thanks for noticing how wise my comment was :). However, due to your botched writing, I could not conceive what you posted afterwards. "Looks or it is posted by a 13 years old lost in a for him too..." Take your dad's dick out of your ass while typing.

  • @ijurcough Lawl, you're almost as bad as the kid you're talking down to. Usin' dem big ol' words to try an' make 'em feel dumb, shame on you! Utilizing it to... exploit how much of a degenerate he is? By stating his opinion on a song on YouTube? Don't you think that's a stretch? I'm gonna go ahead and say you're an idiot, and I'm willing to bet you're a freshman in highschool, or just becoming one, based on your "look down my nose at you" perspective.

  • @TehPwnage1337h4x0rz Why are you jumping in on a conversation? If you're saying what I have done is "such a stretch"--by the way, nice use of a cliche i.e. an instantaneous example of an inflammatory response--then what you're doing is far worse than my response. By the way, who can take you seriously with your screen-name? Nice grammar. Spelling with numbers? This is sickening. Now go back to your mother who has a UTI :). And by your usage of ad hominems, I bet you have a lisp. Trolled :D.

  • @TehPwnage1337h4x0rz Now go back to that little hole you crawled out of, aka your parents' bed. Stop living on your dad's juice and hot pockets, get laid (oh wait, my bad--you already have "LAWL"). Also, nice talking like a hick. Now I'm positive that you are a mamzer. Wanna-be troll. You just trolled yourself. Now be a good little bitch and do as I say :). By way, typing like a jackass will only make you lose credibility. As for now, I'm done replying to you. I don't converse with imbeciles

  • @ijurcough LOL you IMBECILES! Trolled in school too hard? Kiddo's super angry!

  • Lol, thank you for attempting to type correctly. But, you failed once again. Nice caps lock too, lol. What's up with your fragment sentence? Man, you really need to work on your inferiority complex. You should probably start bowing down to me :D. Starting... now!

  • BEAST SONG just like dido's "Thank You"
