Gene Kelly & Donald O'Connor Fit As A Fiddle™

So what I was trying to do here was promote the viewing of the musical Singin' In The Rain™ by showing one of the awesomely choreographed scenes.®

But Warner MUSIC Group® didn't approve of my posting this video with its original audio track (GK & DO singing "Fit As A Fiddle"™), although they didn't seem to care about the video® (i.e. they couldn't develop a sufficiently sophisticated data scanner to recognize their video-oriented intellectual property?)...©

They also don't seem to care about other postings of this same clip. This one looks rather good:

As for me™, I was forced by YouBoob® to swap out the audio with public domain Bizet.©

What's neat is the video anyway, with its awesome choreography. Terrific tap dancing by Gene Kelly® & Donald O'Connor® highlight this Vaudevillian© routine.

WMG™ can lick my arse, but nonetheless go rent or buy the musical today!
Or watch it on commercial television! Or on noncommercial television and donate to the channel!
Or become a corporate mogul and rewrite copyright laws to your whim.
Or become a monk.
I don't really give a damn.™

addendum: Why in blazes is this a "featured video" now??

Leave the original music, moron!

[frankensplean]

@1962HILTON read the description, idiot.

[DizzyHips]

what's the point without the real soundtrack? Congrats- you just turned one of the greatest music and dance routines of all time into crap

[frankensplean]

Actually, Dizzy Hips, if you read my description, the video was going to get pulled if I didn't remove the copyrighted audio track. i figured video alone was better than nothing. Thanks for the unnecessary criticism.

Whats with the freaky voice at the end that is NOT Gene Kelly's? XD

[frankensplean]

i slowed down the end bit because the crowd was inexplicably booing. :)

That's what Kelly sounds like at 50% speed (or so).

Anybody reads the description before posting a comment?

The YouTube policy doesn't make sense, as you say, if it isn't consistent, but you saved the day with a great musical score. Well done!

@dpnowell You can't read

[gabipaes]

Wow! People really cannot read... Anyway, frankensplean thanks for sharing. The dancing is great, no matter the music.

[dpnowell]

ARE YOU SERIOUS!? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO THE MUSIC!?!?!?!

WMG gets a big fail all around. The purchased soundtrack off of iTunes has several terrible edits and mislabeled tracks. If the dicks are going to be so crazy anal as to prevent third party internet postings, the least they could do is a little quality control on their own product.
