[brutalmetalmosher]

i've taken a piss over the side of the white cliffs of dover. fuck dover its a shithole.

[delongebcfc]

@brutalmetalmosher Wow, what a fucking idiot. Want a red carpet from Dover do you? What the fuck do you expect? its a port mate. Fucking tosser, Its the symbol, thats what matters. IDIOT

[chrisdcoool]

in memory of glen miller r.i,p you be sadly missed but never forgoten 

[chrisdcoool]

i love this song

[rugbybem]

Thanks for posting this version of the song. I can never recall Glen Miller featuring this during the war. I do know it was written by an American song writer thus the reference to bluebirds. It was Vera Lynn who. in this country, made it one of the most famous and nostalgic songs of the war years.

[clubbermadness]

awesome singers i remember this song when i was bout 7 i used to go on the ferries with my dad and when arriving near the dover docks they used to play it and now im 22 this is just a great song

[LiLxKyLiE]

I used to sing this song like every day when i was younger lol

[bmxbadboi123]

one off many of there top songs (Y)

[nicolehall1108]

This song was originally sung by Dame Vera Lynn published in 1941....

So you want to remove the Glenn Miller owning. :)

Anyway, I love both versions from D. Vera and Robson & Jerome, they are brilliant X)

[boiledfrogsabc]

This was number one when I was born XD

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

Where on earth were these pictures all taken. I gather they weren`t taken in Canada, but perhaps England. There is a ppicture of a castle at 2:30, that is an english castle, no. I don`t remember Glen Millers version and I do like this version, I have yet to tune in The Righteius Bros, They had many hits in the mid-sixties, so their no strangers to me. Robson and Jerome are, never heard of them...are they brothers. Anyway I won`t be around to see those White Cliff of Dover, either will you!

[dikadic]

@Ezdduf4kuZ

what an ignorant person you are !  Definitely skipped Geography lessons! Shame ...shame...on you ...... Who mentioned Canada???? Robson Green ...great BRITISH actor!

[elgringo72]

fantastic tune and a great cover

[ItalianCommie]

this wasn't ever a glenn miller song, do your homework properly, if you have to do it.

[flygweilo]

I hope you don't mind me correcting you, but 'The White Cliffs Of Dover" is not a Glenn Miller composition,nor did he make it famous.

It IS an American song, by composers Walter Kent and Nat Burton, and made famous by Dame Vera Lynn who was Britain's 'Forces Sweetheart' during WW2.

I do not know if Glenn Miller also recorded this song.

[Phidelio2]

No Bluebirds in the UK Well thats fucked that for me anyway!!!

[0913john]

It's lovely taken. nice video! I would like to take a trip down there some day.

[ScramaVadoosh]

The original recording was by British forces sweetheart, Vera Lynn. It was written in 1941 by Americans Walter Kent and Nat Burton and covered by many, including Glenn Miller. What the writers didn't know is that there are no bluebirds in the UK.

[kimelaine1]

fab fab fab..x

[grace1full]

[drmaniamad]

wat does everyone think about take that singing this song for all those british soldiers who thought with their lifes in iraq and stuff , they have the simalar tune to this and it get them to no 1 lol

[saintmerryweather45]

Folkestone and Dover are both dives and shitholes, but at least Dovers' landmarks are beautiful.

[breakingheart]

and no jerome isn't dead lol he dicided to stay out of the lime light and live a normal life lol.

[neb93uk]

his Mrs was attacked years ago or mugged or something was awful

[J20a]

He did quite a few nature shows after Soldier Soldier then just kind of faded. Robson is still going strong tho =)

[breakingheart]

[drmaniamad]

[danibananix]

Im doing a leaving playy. And i have to sing this on my own. With just 1 other person. Infront of lots of people. They missed out the bit im singing. Though... The bit thats like... Ill never forget the people i met, Braving those angry skies, And i remember well, As the shadows fell. The light of hope in there eyes. And though im far away. I still can here them say, Thumbs up.... For when the boat come upp....

[kolpower]

bahahahahahahaaahahaahhahahaha­haha fukin lol ololololololololol

[PhantomandChristine]

They skipped some parts didn't they? And it's Jimmy, not Johnny. I like my choir arangment better. It's way slower and less jazzy.

[chrishola61]

hi thats what they said. jimmy will go to sleep in his own little room again.

[MIKEPREAMP]

Magnificent!

[m1947n]

Why?

[MaybeCreativeEnough]

Maybe, Perhaps, Because :)  Like this song!

[OutsidersLover12]

sorry, i meant choir. im singing this is choir.

[loveablelaura19]

isnt it jimmy not johnny????

i think it is =S

[OutsidersLover12]

i kno your right because im singing this in song and its "jimmy" but they say jimmy in the song so ylowc just got it wrong thats all.

[godofsleep445]

i done this song when i was in primery school

[mahafach]

it was really originated by Vera Lynn

[strawberrymadness]

I'am doing this song in the Qiaer!

[wsderfv]

over white cliffs of clover

airborne ww2 song

[blademanwales]

this was missing the beging but still it was ok

[Haimler]

Sour grapes...you all have it.

[floatingdebris]

One of the best ways to destroy a truly great song is to employ jobbing actors to cover it. Bring back Jive Bunny!

[jibbyju]

i think this is a great virsion xxx

[1979Kar1979]

I spend there 1 and half years

[girthchicken]

WTF have you done to this song?!?!

[hmhw180]

!!! these people have done something twisted and wrong to this song!!

[ChaninPierce]

First time I heard this song was at a concert starring the Righteous Brothers.

[arronboss123]

i was based there in the paras , so glad we left dover what a hole!!

[thebirdmachine]

this is such a good song. I prefer the original though, the one sang by the woman.

[Motomorphis2]

when did you go to Dover? I live there.

[helene05]

They had a program on radio 4 about this song. It wasn't by Glen Miller, he didn't sing in it, it was based on a poem by this American writer, it sounds very similar 2 somewhere over the rainbow, and even harmonises with it, it was written by 2 American song writers, and there never have been and never will be any bluebirds in Britan!

[Inwoody]

I sat in the audience during WW2 when Vera Lynn sang this for us. I must tell you that I have enjoyed your rendition a number of times now. Thank you.

[bam1957]

Actually Glenn Miller wasnt a singer!!! it was sung during WW2 by Vera Lynn

[theultimatekoopa2]

Glenn Miller, who was born on March 1, 1904 and presumably died on December 15, 1944, was a jazz musician of the swing era, i.e. 20s - 40s, so actually, he was probably a singer. Also, did any one see Vera Lynn on TV not long ago celebrating her 90th birthday (20th March 1917)?

[Tankysyd]

I think you'll find this was not originally sung by Glenn Miller. Not all WW2 music was glen miller.

[olipilley]

what crap vertoin of the soing sounds like a boy band

[ANACONDA360]

its ace (the song). tho i suspect (actualy i know) that those blokes r gay.

[farkme]

yes i love britain, as always.

[adam8102]

it is much better if the duo see in video c",)

[adam8102]

yeah u're ryt hehe c",)

[kmank2]

Beautiful song.

[Yesimustbestupid]

Actually the tune is not from Miller, but another 1940's band leader, Kay Kyser.

[princesspunker84]

This is very well done; even compared to the original. My grandmother sung this song to me as a child, and she just passed away on the 4th...So hearing this made me cry. I don't give a damn what everyone says about this version, or about the actual cliffs of Dover. The song isn't about the cliffs...It's about the world becoming a harmonous place. All I gotta say is....Well done.

[ashita100]

good idea

but the way that video is done only shows good dover

dover i shit

most of it is horrible concrete and derelict buildings

[kittenmaia]

i love the song so much, and i have sung it WITH Dame vera lynn, but this version is awful. sorry.

[lorna96]

Thanks for this. After reading some reviews, this version is not as bad as I thought. I am only disappointed I can't see the duo singing on this video.

[JohnSmiller]

It is a nice song, their version of this is awful though /bump

[Aclarado2006]

Nice song!

[mistrinanka]

that ain´t nothing. miss vera lynn rules!

[GOD711]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[luvuken]

well done!
