Чудова музика! 5 stars!

[AndreaMimi1984]

Cool - Clarinet Polka aka Klarinetten Muckel.

[candlewick163]

holy man! that is much faster than I've ever heard it. good thing, now I can bash on the cocky clarinetists at my school! haha

[bhav1110]

@candlewick163 hahahaha! "Now I can bash on the cocky clarinetists at my school!" that is so funny. I hate when people think their so great at something when they aren't. There's always someone better and someone worse than you.

[candlewick163]

@bhav1110 hahaha yeah i know. they all act like they are the shit and the school would be nothing without them haha little do they know!

[ecnalubma696969]

So streamlined, quick and efficient! A testament to Welk's suitability to the modern world.

[zekshoes]

sounds like a merry go round.

[TheRiqzster]

I've never seen a disc THAT off-center before!

[iz4yt]

My first impression was that even though is is performed in the most commonly played key, Bb, it seemed to be too fast for dancing. There is another You Tube video of the Welk band playing the tune at approximately the same tempo. Welk and a lady do indeed polka expertly.

[iz4yt]

The Lawrence Welk Band, throughout its long career, primarily played music for dancing . The playback tempo of this video seems to be break-neck, for a polka in a ballroom setting. The key of Bb, however is correct.

[sAsUsAkU6000]

wen was this song made..?it looks old..i can play it tho lol

[ecnalubma696969]

This sounds great!

[vincenz55]

great song and the 78 sounds warm and pleasant much better than sterile cd..love those pops too

[Puffausten]

holy crap my fingers would go on fire if i tried to play this quickly! bloody impressive!!

[1ihatepokemon1]

this song is also in teh earthworm jim game XD

i LOVE IT! both the song and the game

[derail14]

Most old 78.,s have noise on them, caused usualy by being handled improper, ie they get scratches on the grooves from peoples hands and the needle styles too.

[vincenz55]

something wrong with that player or the 78 itself spinning out of synch

[RatherBaAnime]

And another thing, I was born in the 1990's and I have no clue on records and stuff but I'm wondering, why is there that snapping noise in the back ground?

[irishbois]

if you listen to old records alot of the time you here a popping noise in the back ground. What records were'nt perfect you know

[mdc2296]

it is the noise from the record

[RatherBaAnime]

Yeah, I'm kinda like punkgrl325 I had no clue it was on Charlie The Unicorn and when I heard it I had to know if it was this polka or not.

[J3715]

I would have to agree that this is played at the correct tempo, if u listen deeper into the music to the rest of the musicians they sound "normal", although I'm sure some of what is heard is distortion from the equipment used to record, as well as the medium and its age. The clarinet when played in the higher registers has this timber.

[luxuriouswishes]

I think you've set the pick-up to 45.. by the sound of it, it should be on 33 :P

[waxds4]

moja ulubiona polka:)

[cljamesrn]

This is the correct tempo of this song. I learned to play it this tempo off of this 78 which my grandmother had when I was 13 yrs old and I can still play it by memory at this tempo.

[cvwtzhaar]

Is this the tempo of the tune or is the record player playing way to fast?

[gotorm2]

No you play it like this. But i found few faster versions.

[punkgrl325]

This was one of my fav tunes when I was little. I always heard it on commercials and stuff and I didn't know what it was called but I still liked it. 8 years later, I hear it in Charlie the Unicorn. At that point, I was determined to find out the true name of the song. I finally discovered it's called Clarinet Polka and now this is one of my fav's on the classical song list.

[me163floh]

You need to slow the speed WAY down on your record player

[CrEaSoTe1]

ive just printed this im gona try and play it :) wis me luck

[rabin7777]

Polish song hehe

[drvalik]

masz cos do polski !!!! ?

[aKiKoxChAn]

gosh its not "candy mountain cave song"

its clarinet polka

wow i wonder if i could get my hands on one of these records (probably not)

but thanks for sharing with us

[Eldoradomaniac]

That's the engish translation its called "Polka Dziadek" in Polish which means Grandpa Polka

[aKiKoxChAn]

really?

i always heard it referred to as "clarinet pollka"

CANDY MOUNTAIN CANDY CAVE

[ImaBadAssDruid]

Why do you guys say this sounds like the Charlie and the Unicorn song??????? what you should be saying is that the Charlie and the Unicorn Song sounds like this, and yeah they rewrote this for that retarded unicorn animation with high actors who have nothing better to do.

this is a very good record keep and protect it i doubt they are any more than a few copies of it left

[m1ss1ontomars2k4]

Both camps are wrong. The Candy Mountain song's melody is based on the first theme in this song.

And that "retarded unicorn animation" is made by only 1 person. Although he probably does have too much time on his hands

[suzakusnomiko]

It doesn't really matter if people think it's hilarious to point out that this is like the song from Charlie the Unicorn. All that really matters is that hopefully with something as widely watched, like "Charlie the Unicorn", at least a few of those people will find out how great of a Clarinet piece this is. Then, they may end up listening to classical music. Which is really all the world needs, more people to appreciate classical music.

[ImaBadAssDruid]

TELL ME ABOUT IT... i LOVE classical music, people think its annoying. I myself listen to all kinds of music unbiased, but in the end i have to say classical music is art and is wayyyyyy above all the other music.

Suzaku!!! LONG LIVE CLASSICAL MUSIC!

[waterbomb22]

@ImaBadAssDruid

Dude. Seriously? Have some respect. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO WRITE SONG LYRICS OR ANIMATE?????? DUDE YOU DON'T! SO DON'T COMPLAIN!!!! (I have all respect for the piece its self left though because I am very devoted to my clarinet)

[ImaBadAssDruid]

@waterbomb22 Yes I know how hard it is to write song lyrics and animate. All the more reason not to waste that time on garbage. It is by far one of the most agitating and pointless videos I have ever seen. This song is class, and was reduced from class to be connected with that animation. All the great classics are being put to shame with modern crude and highly fruitless comics. Had they put some effort into making a good animation this argument would never exist.

[waterbomb22]

@ImaBadAssDruid

Here's my view on it. America's economy is dead, we are still sending troops to the middle east, we have major problems with everything. LET THE PEOPLE HAVE SOME MINDLESS FUN!!!!! I used to ask my mom why my 11 year old sister would watch little kids shows, my mom would always say "Oh, she just needs to watch something mindless for a while." It gives your brain a rest from all the taxes, or work, or studying you have to do on a regular basis. In short, it's good for you.

[ImaBadAssDruid]

@waterbomb22 Well you are entitled to your opinion and I respect it, I am just fed up with these classic masterpieces being associated with things which are not classic masterpieces, that's all

[waterbomb22]

@ImaBadAssDruid

Well, great for you... I completely agree that classical "masterpieces" are fantastic on their own, but if you don't like charlie the unicorn, then feel obliged to keep it to yourself.

[ImaBadAssDruid]

@waterbomb22 There's no need to turn this into a fascist state where free speech is no longer permitted. You should not be so offended that I have my own opinion, in fact, you should commend it.

[waterbomb22]

@ImaBadAssDruid

well you also can't turn this into a dissing session for a popular video just because you don't like it. I ADORE my clarinet, and all classical music, but I also like Charlie the Unicorn as it is funny and relaxing. I am done with this conversation now, but I just thought I should tell you.

[widdlepuddyfat]

@waterbomb22 People are allowed to express their opinions just as much as you are allowed to call them out.

[ImaBadAssDruid]

@waterbomb22 Also, I have respect... Respect for the piece, not to be degraded down to base garbage. I am not complaining. I was merely stating an observation and opinion which it appears a handful of people agree with. If you have respect for this piece and its performance you would say the same thing I did. If you are advocating for classic pieces of treasure to be abused then you in fact have no respect for them whatsoever.

[poonugit]

Candy bells, its a treat, as they march across the land

Cherry ribbon stream across the sky and to the ground

Turn around, it astounds, its a dancing candy treat

In the candy cave imagination runs so free

So now Charlie please will you go into the cave?

[poonugit]

Theyve got lollipops and gummidrops and candy things

Oh so many things that will brighten up your day

Its impossible to wear a frown in candy town

Its the mecca of love the candy cave

Theyve got jellybeans and coconut with little hats

Candy rats, chocolate bats, its a wonderland of sweets

Buy the candy train to town and hear the candy band

[poonugit]

Candy Mountain Song:

Oh when youre down and youre looking for some cheering up

Then just head right on up to the candy mountain cave

When you get inside you find yourself a cheery land

Such a happy and joy filled and perky merry land

Theyve got lollipops and gummidrops and candy things

Oh so many things that will brighten up your day

Its impossible to wear a frown in candy town

Its the mecca of love the candy cave

[chengloki]

Protect that record. It is verry valuable. =Stefan=

[AccordionManiac]

wonderful!! thanks

[mrmree]

[mrmree]

you aren't making much sense little girl. Please don't send people foolish messages.

[Shion456]

Yeah it's about the same as the Charlie the Unicorn song.

[HisRoyalDudeliness]

Eh, don't really like it, but 5 stars.

[41music]

Nice. I love Lawrence Welk.

[mrmree]

Yeah, I had no idea how big that fella has been in the entertainment industry until recent

[kubsterpl]

this brings back memories. thanks!

[mrmree]

yeah, reminds me of that charming rhyme from "Charlie the Unicorn"...good times

[RogueWraithWolf]

Well considering they essentially just rewrote the Clarinet Polka into some stupid little stoner flick, I was not amused to tell you the truth. I am only 28 and I grew up with polka music thanks to my dad playing in his own polka band. I recognized the polka right away.

[mrmree]

'I was not amused to tell you the truth'. well, you do appear to be quite avid in insulting people; whether your actions be founded on truth or misconception
