listen to the entire album before you make judgement, the entire album teaches you to be open,listen before you speak. Its a great listen, and well before its time in educating about every kind of person, girl,boy, always be open, gracious and love everyone for who they are. It teaches that life is about being kind and fair!
It was the beginning of the transgender transhumanism movement. God made men and women different for a reason. Divorce went up at this time. It was part of social engineering. Communism. Marlo is a teansgender.
A fine example of the TV Trope: "Too Dumb to Live." It's funny how you can tell that the other kids are clearly getting exasperated with how annoying she is. 😆
I do not think that there is anything wrong with ladies wanting to go first and to expect special treatment. But I think that when they get special treatment, that they she act thankful for it and not take it for granted. They should make an effort to respect other people around them whether they be male of female.
I disagree. I don't think they should expect special treatment I don't think anyone should expect special treatment! Just general decency. When people do somethings kind for me I thank them and then I try and return the favor later on! I think that's a good way to be
I think that poem was included in his book "A Light in the Attic". IIRC in the foreword he indicated that the poem was inspired by this skit. I think he also wrote the poem "Helping" ("Some kind of help is the kind of help we all can do without".) I'm not sure which came first, though, his poem or the FTB song.
@keeottlady2002 uhhh, you Do understand that this is FORTY years old, right? I WAS the child it was aimed at when it came out & it was NOT lost on me as a little girl. Ladies First, William Wants A Doll, so many of Hesse stories lasted with me for my whole life. I just played the theme song, which I haven't heard in 35 years & remembered every word by heart.. It's only sad that we're further behind in 2012 than we were in the 70's. time for a revamp, Marlo?
This is a very old post but FUCK yeah! I too heard this when it was (close to) new, and grew up with it as a little kid. And yeah, we're further behind in some ways now than we were in the '70s... The whole album is great. And if _this_ story offends the OMGFEMINISTSAREEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!1 crowd? Hooo-EEE, don't listen to the one with the two babies figuring out what they want to be, etc. That one will just melt your pathetic little brain.
I always hated that crap from little girls ladies first This is a perfect mock out of that sure she was first the tigers ate her lol when I was growing up little girls all got prima Donna With that crap
and yet! I heard that guys still want to go easy "ladies" i heard that Guys are supposed to take care of Ladies! what kind of care does that mean anyway ! ? ! ?
I don't. I honestly never understood that custom. Was there just a stigma on being patient or something? You'd think so with the way this thing portrays it.
i just thought of something! what about the other girls!? should it also be "ladies first!?" I'm not saying that other girls should be like her or anything but I guess she's just also "selfish" too ! ! !
It saddens me that all you millennials and Z-ers, for all of your heightened sensibilities, can’t see past the way the characters are dressed, or the quality of the animation; that’s not exactly “woke” behavior, is it? This album was created by someone who shares your values by challenging the then-norms about gender, professions, behaviors (including a major knock against toxic masculinity before that expression even existed). Watch the whole thing and challenge yourself to ignore the superficial.
In the original poem (which can be found in Where The Sidewalk Ends), it IS cannibals. "A cannibal known as Fry-Em-Up Dan/Who sat on his throne in a bib so grand/With a lick of his lips and a fork in his hand/As he tried to decide who'd be first in the pan/From back of the line, in that shrill voice of hers/Pamela Purse yelled 'Ladies first!'"
safenders you've obviously never met a legitimate feminist. I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with people claiming to be feminist, but I assure you; this is not a feminist. That's the point of the entire cartoon.
Gender equality means we treat each other equally. We show kindness to everyone no matter what gender. No one should get special privilege because they are a girl or a boy. You are obviously not one of those radical feminists that claim everything is sexist. I like you.
"...Oh. Far Out !"
You can tell when this was written. Lol.
Will be bringing that phrase back, for sure! 😁

I loved this album as a child. This track in particular. It taught me, at a very early age, that being a Karen *never* pays off
We need more “Free to Be” right now.
It's the best of the worst
I have loved this story for decades.
I loved this show and had the album. Thanks do much for posting this.
Marlo is awesome!
Those tigers are obviously on loan from Yellow Submarine...
For Real
A fine example of the TV Trope: "Too Dumb to Live." It's funny how you can tell that the other kids are clearly getting exasperated with how annoying she is. 😆
Moral of the story: There are times you SHOULDN'T be first
I agree on the moral.
Childhood memories!!!!!!
Love when The Babies discovered what they were doing
Haven’t watched this in over 24 years. Whoa.

My mom showed me this cartoon when I refused to share the mango she just bought me
I agree with you! Going around with an attitude like hers is about as unladylike as you can get!
This was written by poet Shel Silverstein, who had a rather morbid sense of humor.
It was??? That's crazy! I loved all his poetry books as a kid, I never knew he wrote this one
He also wrote “A Boy Named Sue,” if you didn’t know. Brilliant and twisted mind.
I think that poem was included in his book "A Light in the Attic". IIRC in the foreword he indicated that the poem was inspired by this skit. I think he also wrote the poem "Helping" ("Some kind of help is the kind of help we all can do without".) I'm not sure which came first, though, his poem or the FTB song.
My God! This cartoon scared me to death as a wee tot.. And yes! They are inspired by the Blue Meanies...
If they're serving creamed tuna, she can go ahead of me. Because I won't be in line.
I don't like creamed tuna, it makes my stomach turn.
Shout-out to cult underground comix character Myron Moose at 00.15!
The tigers look like something Yellow Submarine.
I thought I was the only one to think that!
The animation is from around the same era, so yeah.
That’s how the world looked in the 70’s. 😚
The animation in this resembles the animation in Schoolhouse Rock.
yup! made by the Same Era !
And yellow submarine!
I used to have this memorized! 😂
Love ❤️ this Video 📹 ❤️ 😊
the Tigers are now reminding me of Cat Bowser from Super Mario 3D World 📹🏅🏆🏅🏆🔔🕭🔔🕭🐱🐈🐱🐈📺🎮🙄🕹😏🎮😄🕹😅🌠🌠🌠🌕🌠🌠🌠🌠⭐⭐🌟🌟☄☄ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
What’s the point of having the 🐅’s dressed 👍 they were part of a team for some sport?
I always laughed my ass off at this song XD
I should wash your mouth out with soap.

Far Out!
I always hated that crap from little girls ladies first
This is a perfect mock out of that sure she was first the tigers ate her lol when I was growing up little girls all got prima Donna
With that crap
Did young girls really used to act like this?
@@meanyapickles Yep some still do
And 40 years later, women still instist on "ladies first."
and yet! I heard that guys still want to go easy "ladies" i heard that Guys are supposed to take care of Ladies! what kind of care does that mean anyway ! ? ! ?
I just say to them, "We are now two decades into the 21st century. Get with it!"
"Ladies first" in the pot. Boil, boil 😋
My mother wanted me to be chivalrous. Guess she never saw this show.
what is chivalrous?? I know I haven't spelled it right but I'm Curious of what it means ! ! ! !
it was Spell Checker that Spelled that for me ! ! ! !
Were the others eaten too?
Being a lady is like being powerful. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
I think it would have been better if she said, I can wait, but everyone else would say ladies first, then they'd eat her!
I quite agree.
@jezziebezzie these, not Hesse!
Gaaaaaaaah! Are we in Grimms' Fairy Tales now?
I don't. I honestly never understood that custom. Was there just a stigma on being patient or something? You'd think so with the way this thing portrays it.
This 🎥 is 👍 Sesame Street. Some of its live action, some’s cartooned & the babies are puppets.
The tigers have numbers? Why?
Why not?
i agree! they look like a sports team 🐯🐅🐯🐅 ! ! !
They ate her what the heck?
i just thought of something! what about the other girls!? should it also be "ladies first!?" I'm not saying that other girls should be like her or anything but I guess she's just also "selfish" too ! ! !
I think there's a big difference between appreciating special, chivalrous treatment when you do receive it, and demanding it in every situation.
No!!!! Not the original animation!!!!!!!!!!!
Ladies first into the lesbian cougar bone broth
It saddens me that all you millennials and Z-ers, for all of your heightened sensibilities, can’t see past the way the characters are dressed, or the quality of the animation; that’s not exactly “woke” behavior, is it?

See? It shows not to have a big ego and the bullshit about ladies first. That's why I never listen to that slogan.
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Moral of this story is that ladies first is BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i kinda agree! but sometimes Ladies should go First !
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Hmm... Tigers instead of black African cannibals...
Early Political correctness then...
Cute animation though.
In the original poem (which can be found in Where The Sidewalk Ends), it IS cannibals. "A cannibal known as Fry-Em-Up Dan/Who sat on his throne in a bib so grand/With a lick of his lips and a fork in his hand/As he tried to decide who'd be first in the pan/From back of the line, in that shrill voice of hers/Pamela Purse yelled 'Ladies first!'"
that would be kinda considered Racist back than and now ! ! ! !
STFU enjoy this beautiful vid
Nah more like not wanting a stereotype to blur the message
@@fairymairah which is why we have tigers in this case
Feminist gets what she deserves..
No safenders, the girl in this story is the opposite of a feminist. That's the point of the story.
tenofivelips nope typical feminist as they exist today.
safenders you've obviously never met a legitimate feminist. I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with people claiming to be feminist, but I assure you; this is not a feminist. That's the point of the entire cartoon.
safenders I'm a feminist and I don't believe in "Ladies first", I hold open doors and stuff for anyone.
Gender equality means we treat each other equally. We show kindness to everyone no matter what gender. No one should get special privilege because they are a girl or a boy. You are obviously not one of those radical feminists that claim everything is sexist. I like you.
