What is this thing

Of which I sing

That makes us all bewitched?

What is this thing

That comes in Spring

That gives us all the itch?

Oh, it's love, it's love,

It's love, love, love, love, love!!!

"Spring Song" - Charlie Chaplin

Spring is here!

Birds are calling

Skunks are crawling

Wagging their tails for love!

Spring is here

Whales are churning

Worms are squirming

Wagging their tails for love!

[EendjeKwak]

This is the first time I hear his voice. :D

[CharlieChaplinLove]

I lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelo­velovelovelovelovelovelove Charlie! <3

[ariellejsa]

"It's LOVE! It's LOVE! It's lovelovelove, LoveLove-- Lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelo­velovelovelovelove, LoveLove..."

It is ALSO......... CRAZY-AWESOME DICTION! ;^)

Plus, writing your own music. It helps to be such a genius as Dear Charlie. What a STELLAR movie! (Much Love!)

[ariellejsa]

I'd marry Calvero in a SECOND! (Just call me "Terry.")

[Millyzenha]

CHAPLIN FOREVER !

[fugueboy45]

All I can say is, What a genius this man was, on so many levels. Immortal!

[keinwegzuruck]

Holy shat. He was SPRY for 63.

[MrSunlander]

Vaudevillians had to be capable of all stage skills..... Early Hollywood benefitted from that. Very hard to find such diverse people now.

[Deppaddicted]

And even in this we see the slightest tribute to the Little Tramp. :) Notice his bamboo cane, and he is dressed like a bum, eh?

Man, even in his 60's he could act as young as ever. My hat is and always will be off to you, Charlie. :)

WHAT THE FUCK HAHA!

[oliaiguambfigues76]

That's my favourite scene of the film. Even then Chaplin was handsome enough to make a sexy couple with the beautiful Claire Bloom.

[unknownscientist09]

its incredible he was about 63 years old and could dance while singing like that. my respects

[alfonsinamdq]

Es el más grande, el único, es Dios.

[Memmuli95]

Chaplin is great! Limelight is great movie, it's sad and funny at the same time, just like all good movies.

[nzoneaffe]

he could sing so good what a surprise^^

very very funny performance.

r.i.p chaplin, master of comedy

[ShawDAMAN]

Could some chaplin fan out there help me? I remember seeing a chaplin movie (silent) when i was little where the girl he loves is boarding a train with another man and she invites him to come along and he says no, two's company, three's a crowd..(making the motions with his hands.)

I'd like to see it again.

[TheMadHatterAmI]

Yeah, it's the film "Circus" from 1928.

It's the end of it you describe where the girl and her husband invites Chaplin inside their waggon just after they have been married (thanks to Charlie) But i can only advice you to see it.

It's a wonderful movie, one of his best.

It's on youtube somewhere.

[ShawDAMAN]

Thanks a lot! I'll look for it. I can still see the scene clearly, the simple poignancy of Chaplin must have been impressed on my mind even as a little kid =)

[TheMadHatterAmI]

Hehe, you're welcome. Yea, he did too to me.

You should give all his stuff a chance actaully, but when you've watched the Circus you'll hunger for more i can assure you :p

[ShawDAMAN]

I just watched it yesterday evening, thanks again. Wonderful film =)

[jesusloveme0111]

REAL HUMAN ! ! !

[lokina92]

ajajaj es tan tierno :)!

[AnaJilK]

All his movies are slightly sad, slightly funny, always full of contrasts... and always GREAT!

Thanks so much Kostas for sharing and Nordenwald for posting this video! *****

[tontokurt]

There's a ballet-scene in the movie where Chaplin is amazing. Really! "Limelight" is an amazing film. Sir Charles Chaplin did all this: Directed, produced, wrote the screenplay, wrote the music, played the main carachter, made the ballet-scenes.

[11777766]

It's simple: Chaplin was the genius who created the movies and made them America's greatest contribution to popular entertainment, and created a new artform.

[operaboy81]

Chaplin was so talented, probably in more ways then we will ever know.

[movierocks]

Chaplin was 63 at the time if I am not mistaken. Limelight came out in 1952 and he was born in 1889. I think three of his children Geraldine, Michael, and Josephine had cameos in the film. Their ages were 8, 6, and 3. His wife Oona stood in for Claire Bloom if she was not available when they had to reshoot scenes. Oona was 26 or 27 at the time. They had four children at the time. Victoria Chaplin was the fourth and just an infant. They went on to have four more in Switzerland

[Doriana58]

He's a unique personality.

He would be one reason to feel sorry that you can't travel back in time...

He's just lovely. (-:

[foxpawz]

Amen. :) i'm so in love with him. i have just really discovered him now and have been watching nothing but Charlie Chaplin videos for 3 days straight! I mean i knew who he was but..never really watched it all that much.

[Doriana58]

Yes, that sounds familiar. (;

I discovered him one year ago and fell in love with him after watching "The Kid".

Wouldn't want to miss his smile anymore now. (:

[tangledblu]

He was adorable. Would have fallen for him if I had ever met him! JM

[EmilyGreene1984]

I never could imagine Charlie Chaplin had such a beautiful and elegant speaking voice.

[007rocksalotmann]

Chaplin in remarkably vigorous for a man of +60 years old.

[shortyblackwell]

he's my fave....

[LadyEdgar]

God, I love Charlie so much. This movie is amazing.

[amoradebiloute]
