  • Gee, I wish my old high school would do that musical, and I'd be in it!

  • simply the catchiest song of alltime

  • I would be more than happy to be kidnapped by Gideon ;)

  • @StupidLamb251 See thats exactly what I think everytime I watch this film. There would be no complaints from me!

  • I love this movie. i was born in the 90's but my parents and grandparents made sure i saw the classics. I am 20 now and still enjoying it

  • He really had a beautiful hide and loved this song - always will!

  • haha lets be real for a second, girls aren't stronger than men, but they are stronger than musical gingers. i love this movie

  • Poor Sabine women, if a stupid Roman tried to kidnap me I'd give him a smack around the jaw, but of course they'll be as hard as nails and probably won't even feel it...

    ah well as long as he's rich and handsome I wouldn't mind too much lol

  • Love this film :D x

  • lastima que este tipo de peliculas no se hagan ahora.. por eso esta es y sera una de mis preferidas!!!

  • people need to shut up and appreciate this song. if you don't get it, watch the film dumbass.

  • I love this movie. Such a classic.

    Fun fact: MGM had so little faith in this film they cut funding for it to spend on the films Brigadoon and Rose Marie. Both films failed to match Seven Brides commercial and critical success.

  • Stuff the debate about sexism. and listen to Howard sing, what a voice.

  • Frank and Benjamin are sooo gorgeous

  • I love how Keel dominates this song- though plotwise, it has nothing to do with his character. What a voice!

  • I love this song and movie:D

  • THIS SONG HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR WEEKS!!!

  • Howard Keel did a much better job when he sang with a relaxed pop style voice, In operetta type singing, his voice seemed more forced. I think he was a brilliant performer, though. Seven Brides showcased his talents wonderfully.

  • this is such a cute! :)

  • Love this song

  • 1:11 ** not !:11 

  • Franks smile at 1:05-!:11 <3 awwww

  • @ignasie the actual word is tetchy and it means easily angered or irritated

  • this is my favorite song in the whole movie

  • That guy's such a fucking awesome beritone. The ONLY thing missing in this movie is a bass :(

  • This song is just so goddamn good.

    Nothing to with rape. Idiots.

  • @maciekur Sobbin' women isn't about rape, it's about kidnapping. Listen to the song.

  • They singing about rape, aren't they?

  • @maciekur No.

  • Loved the moviue, loved the song. The men were men, and that was just how the womwn liked it.

  • what's the meaning of TETCHED? I cant find it

  • @ignasie it means not being able to function properly

  • @ignasie "what's the meaning of TETCHED?" that's where the lyrics takes advantage of the country accent. he meant "touched" as in touch in the head or crazy

  • @persebra

    Ya, I was wonderin' about that too.Thanks for clearin' that up for me!

    God Bless:)

  • Just got this on DVD today in the mail. It's funny that I also saw him in an episode of Walker earlier today.

  • This IS one of my favorite movies, but I've always thought this song sounded like KIDNAPPING AND STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

  • See, this is what happens with bad pronunciation, aka when "Sabine" becomes "Sobbin'".

    

  • @ShakeItLikeAPoleroid I've changed the name of the clip when read on Soundtrack CD that actually it called 'sobbin', but I like 'Sabine' better

  • @ShakeItLikeAPoleroid the mispronunciation was on purpose. that's how people talked in the 1850's, as most were uneducated, plus it allowed for the writers of the musical to spin the word on it's head and use it throughout the song.

  • @steffielulu5

    I know. I was just saying that the song would've been very different if Adam pronouced it "Sabine", instead of "Sobbin" to convince his brothers to steal the girls.

    It was a joke. Next time I wont bother.

  • @ShakeItLikeAPoleroid

    The song in the movie is called "Sobbin women", to show the ignorance of the brothers. the people who wrote the song obviously know the real tern is "Sabine".

  • @kasasm3

    See my previous comment.

  • @ShakeItLikeAPoleroid Not bad pronunciation, but a great pun :)

  • @ShakeItLikeAPoleroid Dude, idk if anyone else said this to you in the comments, I haven't looked. But it's a play on words. Making Sabine sound like "Sobbin' " as to say they were Sabine women who were sobbing.

  • @godzgrl95

    You are about the ninth person to not get the joke.

  • @ShakeItLikeAPoleroid

    Sabine |ˈsāˌbīn; -ˌbin|

    adjective

    of, relating to, or denoting an ancient Oscan-speaking people of the central Apennines in Italy, northeast of Rome, who feature in early Roman legends and were incorporated into the Roman state in 290 bc.

  • @TheCatfishClayton

    Cool story, bro. Needs more dragons and shit.

  • @ShakeItLikeAPoleroid

    It needs NOTHING like a random dragon.Plus dude,people don't need you to cuss in the comments you make.If you want to make one,use words that can stand on their own two feet and don't go against what the LORD said about cussin'.

    God Bless!

  • @jimvs1

    You, my angry friend, need to chill out.

    -Someone who doesn't want blessed by god, but thanks anyway.

  • Thanks musicismylife and pkrueger, maybe I'm not quite as crazy as I think I am sometimes.

  • This is when men get together and just... dont think the way they should. But they do it vigorously. This is one of the best songs of the movie. Excellent.

  • @ttm0753 I was thinking the same thing.

  • I remember watching this movie when I was little girl I never got the meaning of this song until I watch it yesterday then I'm like oh man this song is so wrong and my moms like now you understand the meaning don't you and I'm like heck yeah!

  • This song reminds me of the Disney song "Bare Necessities"

  • @ttm0753 me too!! I was humming it and i realized parts are almost exactly the same

  • @ttm0753 it DOES!

  • Great idea to make someone love me! Kidnap them! \õ/

    Okay, a plan is forming here...!

    LOL, I love this movie! =D

  • If you are listing the lyrics/singing parts from the movie/clip you are showing - you have them assigned wrong in several spots. Thanks for sharing though, this is my fav musical film EVER!!!! :D

  • Considering that the women are written to fall in love and marry their captors, I'd say this movie is pretty sexist. Doesn't mean all of the songs/dance scenes are rubbish.

  • @TehSpazztasticLime You do realize that this movie was based in 1850's and women had little rights, they weren't attempting to be sexist, they were accuratley setting the scenes to tht date..This movie is quite light-hearted to be honest and in the end the brothers learn their mistakes and frown upon their actions...so please dont lable a movie without knowing your facts

  • @TheYoshiza I know what happens, this was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Yes, it was based in the 1850's, and yes they probably weren't being intentionally maliciously sexist. Just because they weren't intentionally all-out in-your-face "make me a sammich" sexist, doesn't mean some elements of it aren't present.

    Yes the kidnapping is frowned upon. Ultimately though, they are REWARDED. The women go through some kind of fucked up Stockholm Syndrome and marry them.

  • @TehSpazztasticLime Well you have good taste, ahah...and yes my last sentence there was a bit harsh and i do agree why you came to tht conclusion, and i have nthing against...I just felt as though it was not intentional

  • I could watch this song ten times in a row and not be the least bit sick of it. Poor replay button.....

  • Ben's still the best looking brother.

  • "rotundas small but cute"  lol :D

  • I can't help pointing this out every time I hear the name, even though it has nothing much to do with the song (which is very fun to listen to, by the way). Claudius means crippled. Just a funny thing.

    And Gideon's actor stupided the character up very well, I notice.

  • LOVE this movie!! Thanks for posting!!

  • I love this movie. I think if Giddeon carried me off, I wouldn't protest.

  • @redsawdom Yep pretty much, that's how i live my life. This film is my bible.

  • Oh good grief people, lighten up. This is a broadway musical which were light hearted stories with great music and dancing. Just appreciate the musicality. They were fun.

  • The people who are commenting about how this film is "sexist" have got it wrong - it's not the movie, it's the character. Adam is supposed to be a total idiot about girls. He and his brothers learn how to behave later in the story.

    Also, what "The Rape of the Sabine Women" was written, "rape" meant "kidnapping".

    If you hadn't noticed, the last line of the song is "We're gonna make them sobbin' women smile!". They think they're doing what's right...oh, just watch the movie.

  • @topcat3768 Thank you.

  • @topcat3768 Love your last little comment "Oh, just watch the movie" couldn't help it, it made me giggle XD

    It's a very true point though. Understand the movie, then comment.

  • @topcat3768

    Good show topcat-it is hard to counter all this absurd political correctness!!

  • @topcat3768

    The characters are sexist because they don't see any problem with kidnapping women just because they want wives. Women are there to be taken.

    THE FILM itself is sexist because it agrees on a narrative level. By having the brides "fall" for their kidnappers in the end (hello, Stockholm Syndrome) the movie implies that the brothers did the RIGHT thing because "it worked out". So according to THE MOVIE kidnapping IS a valid form of wooing a woman.

    Nice songs, awful message. A shame.

  • @comiclover788998

    the film makes it quite clear early on that the women are already in love (or at least have crushes on) the 6 brothers, but their parents arent supportive because of their social status. it's not sexist, it's about social prejudices. of course, kidnapping is wrong, but it's just a stupid movie. it's not really about social prejudices or sexism, but rather, just fun songs, entertaining dancing, and an amusing story.

  • @TaiwanGuy1 Oh dear. Did you know that there's a perfectly non-sexist solution to the situation you describe that, with the exception of one CRUCIAL difference, looks pretty similar to the one in the movie? It's called eloping. Do you know what the difference is between eloping and kidnapping? Before you can elope you have to actually ASK THE WOMAN BEFOREHAND WHETHER OR NOT SHE WANTS TO. Because when you're not sexist, women are people.And people have a right to decide about their own lives.

  • @TaiwanGuy1 Cont.: And if a person makes a decision, you respect it.That means for the movie: some of the women might have said "Yes!", but others "No.", because they wouldn't go against their families wishes, feared social repercussions or any other reason, DESPITE being in love. And that would have been fine. But in the movie, the ladies are never given any say in that matter.So yes, STILL sexist.

    P.S: And believe me, most women would consider a kidnapping as a fine reason to fall OUT of love.

  • @comiclover788998 Holy crap just lighten up and enjoy the movie. It has a happy ending unlike a lot of movies today. I hope for the people around you, you aren't this serious all the time.

  • @comiclover788998

    This is NOT in ANY way "sexist".Plus there is no argument or logic to that stupid feminist thing called "sexist".

    God Bless!

    -Miss De Jian

  • So the moral of this movie is that kidnapping is okay so long as the abductee loves the abducter and so long as they get married.

    Erm, right.

  • @redsawdom Moral of the story they are reading and what the brothers believe, yes. Moral of the film, oh no! You've got it wrong. The brothers discover that they are WRONG and they have to be "going courtin' "

  • Howard Keel!

  • Guys, stop fighting over what this song and this movie's about. You either like it, or you don't. Take your pick. In my opinion, this is one of the best musicals ever made.

    (And I agree with @123generic's comment about how Plutarch used 'rape'.)

  • @123generic

    Mansplain elsewhere.

  • gosh i love this movie, and this song especially!!

  • Best Musical <3

  • those sabine women were sobbin' from their throbbin' muscles that they got from that riotous ride. Then they passed all of their nights.. umm... just sewin'... ... so can I giggle at the lewdness of it all now?

  • Oh Howard Keel, what a voice!

  • I fell in love with this musical bc of my dad he's a western fan, and one day he watched this. The overall message is to find love and during those times competition for a good woman was stiff.  It's a classic and very entertaining. and it brings up the fact that women like to be pursued but it is illegal to kidnap your would be spouse, this is entertainment. Just like the musical Calamity Jane, love that one too!

  • love this movie!!!!! PLEASE SOMEONE UPLOAD IT!!!!!!!!

  • Favorite song from this classic film.

  • Think about your marriage and get a trusted women lushfmlk.info

  • :o)

  • it's SABINE, you goddamn idiot!!!!

  • @toxicdirt9

    In Plutarch's tale, yes it is Sabine, referring to their race, however, the point that Adam is making is that they are crying, because they've been kidnapped. Sorry I had to point out something that should have been rather obvious.

  • Um, well, the guys aren't supposed to be right, you know. It's part of the plot that they learn what jerks they've been. They're supposed to be backward and unsophisticated. Then they learn what love is all about. It's not a sexist movie. Millie is the voice of the movie, not Adam.

  • @dallyx66 True, but don't forget the women want the men too. I love the scene in the attic when they are talking about their guys, and it is obvious that Millie is having to control them too! The problem is they forgot to kidnap the preacher.

  • @antinotis I love it when Dorcas talks about how thev're been sleeping in the guys' beds. lol

  • @dallyx66 No, Adam sings the truth. Many women love jerks, they go through a billy bad-ass stage: "They acted angry and annoyed... ' but secretly they was overjoyed!..."  But they are in denial about it. :)

  • Oh Howard, I'll always love you and your voice. Seven Bride for Seven Brothers will always be my favourite musical <3

  • it's sobbing women

  • Cant We Hav The Embedding Thing Plzzzzzzz

    XxX

  • Oh yes, this is a really catchy song!Man I love it when someone says Franks full name!That's so funny!

  • not to say I don't like the song but I think the actual title of the song is " Sobbin' Women" be cause the original title of the movie: " Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" was going to be "Sobbin' Women". You can also look up the title of all the songs on Wikipedia.

  • what a beast...

  • This is like one of my favorite movies ever!!!! Old Musicals FTW! :DDDD

    Frank is so hott! He is my fave brother!

  • It's my favourite movie and I love this song. =)

  • I LOVE THIS MUSICAL!!!

    'Look Women!'

    'Say something!'

    '...Nice night for a 'coon hunt.'

    Hahahahaha <3

  • We're gonna make them Sabin women smiiiiiiile :D

    <3

  • I like some musicals and this is one of my favorite.  Does this mean I gay? LOL! This is just great to listen to. I always laugh at this song when ever I hear it. In todays world this action will get you thrown in jail for life. Boy how this world have changed.

  • Howard Keel & Russ Tamblyn is a truly mighty musical pairing.

  • What a voice! The tune of the bare necessities of the jungle book sounds likes this, I really like the song!

  • "but secretly they was over joyed!" hahaha i love u russ...ur such a kid in this! lol

    awsssmmm, love this song. andd this play!

  • @yeartooyoung LOL seriously and i could never get why the girls cried first when they were kidnapped.......i would be freaking ecstatic :D

  • @AncaThirteen I know it sounds weird, but remember that the story of the sabin women isn't really about rape, it's about rapture, the woman were stolen by the romans and after that they lived in harmonie with them and had many children and received civil rights. I know that story is rubish and if it happened at all in reality, there would probably have been rape. But not in the story.

  • @AncaThirteen The men here believe the story and think (unknowing how to really treat women) they have to steal them (not molest or rape) and that they will make them happy afterwards(they sing: we're gonna make those woman smile). Of cours it's stupid and macho, but it's not the way you think it is, they really are in love, they just don't know how to treat women and aren't planning to hurt him, they think they'll make them happy by 'being a man'.

  • @FollowToChange

    You are giving all the men involved far too much credit. Do men in love with women make puns about "sobbin'" women as they smile and make their plans? Or men who are in love with the idea of being in love and making women love them, or men who just want "a woman"?

    Do you seriously think that women carried off by men would usually be kept safe and unharmed until they came to love their captors?

  • @AncaThirteen Stories of women being captured and then falling in love with their captor are rubish, the reality is that it's cruel. This here is meant for the viewer to know that it's wrong, as you do, and to know that their way of thinking is due to their stupidity (which is of course no excuse). You must place this scene into context. Except for kidnapping them, they don't harm the girls as they see they're angry. They realise the plan was wrong&stupid and during winter the girls forgive them

  • @FollowToChange

    I think you are missing my point.

  • @AncaThirteen It's just a Film! Goodness, do you really believe that they meant it to be some kind of sign saying that kidnapping women is ok?

  • @DarlingDebutante

    I think that it was and is an expression of rape culture, and also that films are not made in a vacuum.

  • @AncaThirteen ...fun irony isn't it...have you heard "bless your beautiful hide"? Classic sexism!

  • @AncaThirteen If it makes you feel better, "Rape" as Plutarch used it just meant abduction rather than how we use it now.

  • I love old movies, but this is my favorite. Howard Keel is enough to melt your heart with his voice AND his looks! *sigh*

  • I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't love this song. True, I'm only 14... but still.

  • i love when giddean says, but secretly they was overjoyed!

  • I love this song

  • LOVE this song. It makes me feel....funny :-P

  • if I could have anyones voice it would be HOWARD KEEL

  • AHHH! Beautiful memories! I love this so much, it hurts ;)

  • this was my favorite movie when i was little ha

  • i saw this movie when i was about 7 and im 16 now and i still think that this movie is 100000x better than high school musical. i watch it once a month i cant get enough

  • @jewtownsfinest High School is the worst musical ever created...

  • @jewtownsfinest - I love your post! :) It's so true too!

  • you can tell that theese guys have lives up in the mountains away from the rest of humanity for WAY too long.

  • I love this song - such an ear worm!

  • This was the first play I had a lead in ahh good times...

  • I know this movie by heart =)

  • this was my first play

  • i'm fifteen. i know them all by heart. Haha its sad. but musicals is all i watched when i was younger.

  • LOVE IT

    My brother and I would jump all over the place dancing fighting or singin along lmao my poor mum. It was her fault for bringin us up on musicals

  • I LOVE GIDEON! he is sooooo cool! lol. he was always my favorite brother.

  • Haha! I'm sure Plutarch didn't condone the rape of the Sabine women in his writings. But obviously the brothers took it that way.

    Great song like many in this movie.

  • haha this song is song is so good

  • I like Gideon and Benjamin the best, though I'm also fond of Caleb.
