I love the difference between the two versions. In the first, she sounds like a love-struck teenager, full of hopeful longing and knowing sadness. But in the second, she's grown up a bit, is moving on past this crush and is sassy!
Never forget my first and one visit to New York and Florida in april 1963. My cousin invited my to Radio City Music Hall and, to see "Bie, bye Birdie". So huge screen, so beautiful Ann-Margret and I, only 20 years old!.....
Yes, I remember that huge screen at Radio City Music Hall as well. Saw many great films there including Bye Bye Birdie. So sad that the huge screen theatre is practically a thing of the past as more people are choosing to stay home to stream films on their tiny screen or simply play smartphone surfing. The end of cinema.
I graduated high school in 1963 and saw this movie at a drive-in theater with a bunch of friends. We wanted to see one of our classmates dance with Ann Margaret. He was in the group dance scene with her!!
I saw this in theater in 1963 on the big screen. It was hypnotic and left a lasting impression on a wide-eyed kid. I used to carry a picture of Ann-Margaret in my wallet. She was and is drop dead gorgeous and full if talent.
@@SD-nh5yr Don't exaggerate. I attend movie theaters all the time in NYC and haven't been shot at once. Getting shot in a movie theatre is an isolated event. Or maybe you just want to stay home and stream.
Yeah, I think this comment pretty much nails it. She cycles through so many different expressions, half-crying, half trapped in her own fantastic thoughts. And she's doing it while singing and dancing! That's amazing.
Cerulean blue and chromium yellow is like the color theme of the whole show. Dig it in the lighting of "Hymn on a Sunday Evening," Doris' dress just prior, and Rosie's dress for her wild night out at Maude's Madcap.
The contrast between the beginning and the end, the differences in her hair and the way she holds herself and even the way she sings and moves around stage makes you wonder what happened during the episode. Subtle good work.
I used to be obsessed with this movie as a child. I would watch this over and over for hours… this brings back so much nostalgia and just a reminder of my love for theater and musicals ❤
it was 1963, I was 6 years old, and my mom took me to the movies for the first time in my life. This is literally the first film scene I ever saw. I was mesmerized by Ann-Margaret, and fell in love with the movies. I can't describe how overwhelmed I was by her. The only thing that comes close was the summer of '77 when my friends dragged me against my will to see this movie they had seen the night before. It was called Star Wars. That endless shot of the Star Destroyer passing overhead blew me away in the same way. Thanks Ann-Margaret for the magic!
That is beautiful, man. Thank you for sharing. Makes me think of my own mom showing me Star Wars for the first time (though that was on VHS, the first movie is about a decade older than I). She passed earlier this year. Miss you, mom, thank you for the beautiful memories.
You are so correct. I was in high school and saw it on the big screen. When she came on with that blue background, the young guys in the theater actually had their jaws drop. She was that beautiful.
I love the evolution of Kim Macafee in both clips. The first one is so awesome because it's a girl who just wants her idol. At the end, she's a woman with no time for childish things. I hope to see the play some time!
the reason why she sounds bad in the first half is because she was immature with an unhealthy obsession with a star. her singing voice is supposed to reflect that. in the 2nd half (the end of the movie), she realizes her actual boyfriend is what's most important to her and that she wasted her time fangirling over some jerk singer who could care less about her. she matured more, and so did her singing.
TheGenghisKhunt You're right, it should be "couldn't care less". But I always say "I could care less" when using the phrase although I always add "I just don't know how" :)
Thanks Kathy Lopez for clearing that up. Because of your comment I listened to the whole video and yes she sounds much better and more "Broadway" in the second half. Even her makeup is more mature. I'm so glad because all I saw on Mad Men was the first half and I couldn't figure out how Ann Margret could have possibly gotten work in musicals when her voice sounded so godawful. Now I know it was on purpose.
I guess people don't get that Ann was singing as a naive teen during the first half...the second half she is singing as a woman......and sexy as hell!!
From IMDB trivia (not mine): Director George Sidney was so taken with the talent of Ann-Margret that when the film was edited he went to Columbia's executives and proposed the opening and closing bumpers that would showcase her. They refused to pay for any additional filming, so Sidney rented the studio and crew at his own expense. He then asked the composer and lyricist to come up with a title song. He filmed Ann-Margret's skirt-flipping, hair-tossing rendition of that song six months after principal photography was completed -- at a cost of $60,000, which was repaid to Sidney after the movie. And Ann-Margret became a sensation. Thank you, thank you, Mr. Sidney, a thousand times over. These add-ons lift this movie to the next level of knowing satire. And helped to lift A-M into the stratosphere of public recognition. Not that she wouldn't have gotten there eventually on sheer talent without this early boost.
Ann- Margret's costars, Dick Van Dyke and Janet Leigh, were appalled when they saw the musical introduction and closing. When they signed their contracts, THEY were the stars of the movie.
Can sing and act...but you forgot dance. She was a fine dancer as well. In show biz stars like her who can do it ALL and have great looks too are called "triple threats." .
Lol the reason why she sings like this in the first half is because it symbolizes that her character in the movie (Kim McAfee) was immature. Because throughout the movie as a fifteen year old, she blows off her boyfriend Hugo for Conrad Birdie's attention, and looses her mind whenever he's around, fan girling over him. Picture a five year old fussing because she doesn't get a doll that she wants. Ann Margret is a fifteen year old crying over the man she wants and can't have, who by the way, has been drafted into the army. Her voice sounds a bit more mature in the second part because she has realized that Birdie isn't all that, and Hugo matters more. She has matured, and therefore is kindly yet sadly wishing him farewell, no longer "boo-hooing" over him.
I️ watched this movie all the time when I️ was really little and was absolutely obsessed with it. I’m watching it now, 5-7 years later, and completely loving it
Such a memorable number! First time I saw this movie was at the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City, and in an amazing coincidence, the last time I saw Ann-Margret was last week in the new Hallmark Christmas movie titled Christmas Spectacular about the Rockettes.
This song has been living in my head rent free for like almost two decades since I first watched the movie in elementary school and later saw the play for a field trip
She has an amazing voice, it takes great skill to purposely sing this bad but despite that, I can't stop watching it...great performance full of subtleties. Even Ann Margret now is still looking good and as talented as ever.
I love how everyone is talking Mad Men in the comment section. I came her because of it too. :D when I watched the episode her voice seemed shrill and annoying and now it's kinda catchy haha!
Chris Larimore You think so? I think she's rather average. I suppose a woman who finds another woman average may be beautiful to man. I think that's quite interesting.
For some reason, the vibe this song gives off really characterizes so much of what Mad Men was about. Ever since I watched that episode, I can't really think about the nostalgia Mad Men gives me without first thinking about this.
I remember very faintly hearing this song when i was younger my grandmother used to put this on for me so i had to look it up because it was so catchy got very nostalgic feeling from it wish i can go back in time
This number, as performed by Ann Margaret, is iconic, classic and always sexy! I still recall the first time that I saw this, sitting on the living room floor glued to the television, my jaw on the floor.
To set the record straight, Ann-Margret had just turned 22 when this was released, so she was 21 when it was filmed. She's playing a high school girl (hence the high voice), so no more than three or four years younger than she really was. She looks older to us because of the old-fashioned styles, and because teenage girls back then tried to look like grown-ups (as opposed to today, when grown-ups try to look like teenagers).
My gosh this lady is absolutely mesmerizing to watch! I LOVE how her voice represents her immaturity at the beginning, and how it sounds much more mature and controlled by the end; she had such a unique sound and was capable of being versatile with her voice as well. I also respect her for being willing to sing that intro in a way that would make many people assume that she has a bad/annoying voice right off the bat. But she knew the truth, she knew she could do much more with her voice, and she wasn’t about to let the fear of other people’s first impression of her singing stop her from performing her pretty little heart out anyway. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done it at all. I don’t think these clips would’ve been as intriguing to watch if they had been perfectly polished. I’m a professional singer as well, so I really appreciate and respect her artistry in these clips. I love reading the comments on here of those who also picked up on the clever directing of the intro singing vs. the singing at the end. Kudos❤️👍🏻🎶👏🏻
I saw this movie on tv as a 'midday movie' some time back in the late sixties when I was in my early teens. I 'fell in love' with Ann Margret then, something that I have carried through to the present day. Now in my late sixties, coming across this clip has reminded me of a long lost, and unrequited lust. Thanks for that........I think.
As I remember this opening for the film was an afterthought and shot after everything also was done. A stoke of genius because audiences went wild over her and it. She is on a treadmill!
When my school did this musical last year, we sang the beginning part after our curtain call. We got the audience to start clapping and all of the seniors stood in the front to sing. We were all dancing around and having a great time. It was one of the best experiences ever.
tremendous and remarkable performance. propably its not the singing performance... but her attitude towards the camera and the eccentric dance style... i don't know, quite attractive.
Seeing Ann sing bye, bye birdie in that yellow dress against the blue background when I was 12 caused me to reach puberty in the 5th row center. (or so it seemed) Wow, she IS something else!
Lol when Sal re-enacted this for his wife she was like "OMG my husband is gay" xD
i had just watched that part😂
I think even more than that, at a point before he re-enacts his idea, Sal's wife mentions that she doesn't get why men guard their feelings....And then Sal is suddenly expressive, passionate, etc,...Now she's thinking "Was this what I wanted?"
I just started watching Madmen. I liked Sal.. I'm in the middle of season 7. Why can't there be more!

Right. Something about it just grabs hold and won’t let you turn away
So I'm 38. I first watched this movie when I was 5. Lol I literally fell in love with Ann-Margret when I was 5 lol.
Pure garbage.

Sorry I just don't see it!

Yeah, all fake gringo emotions in under 3 minutes.
For some reason, I love her voice in this. It's pure camp and over the top and wonderful. Ann-Margaret had some pipes and such a gorgeous look!!
The blue background is the main star of this song. Who can think about this without thinking 'blue background'?
totally I keep wondering what was supposed to replace the blue screen background.
It's a blue screen and she on a treadmill.
She is Swedish, she is representing the flag.

Subtle good work.
Never realized that before. Thank you
She grew up!
Kim definitely holds herself with more confidence and maturity after the events of the film
That was the whole point. She was a little teeny bopper at the start, and after all that happens in the film she’s grown up in her attitude.
The opening rendition is done as Kim in character but the end is all Ann Margret commodity and it capitulated her to the top career wise.
"Bir-hee"
Not Carlie that's gonna bother me now
I've noticed that, too. But I presume that when the film first came out most men were too busy drooling over Ann-Margaret to pay much attention.
So annoying lol

Not Carlie so I’m not the only one that’s heard that all these years! Lol
Singing in character is so hard and nobody does it better than Ann. Spectacular!

one of my favorite singing scenes in a movie ever. truly a great performance for something so quaint yet quintessential unseen in today's movies.
I guess people don't get that Ann was singing as a naive teen during the first half...the second half she is singing as a woman......and sexy as hell!!
Both are painful to watch regardless
@@gcooper642 That was painful to read.
We got that, but it doesn't mean the second part is good. She still is not a talented singer.
G Cooper Never. Even. Say. That. Again
ultraroadmap the first half is the intro in the beginning of the movie. The 2nd time is during the closing credits of the film.
Ann-Margret was just so beautiful, it's unbelievable. She still is. Love the playful way she delivers this song. What a classic.
From IMDB trivia (not mine):
Director George Sidney was so taken with the talent of Ann-Margret that when the film was edited he went to Columbia's executives and proposed the opening and closing bumpers that would showcase her. They refused to pay for any additional filming, so Sidney rented the studio and crew at his own expense. He then asked the composer and lyricist to come up with a title song.

Thank you, thank you, Mr. Sidney, a thousand times over. These add-ons lift this movie to the next level of knowing satire. And helped to lift A-M into the stratosphere of public recognition. Not that she wouldn't have gotten there eventually on sheer talent without this early boost.
In the Broadway musical Kim wasn’t that important. Because of Ann Margaret every high school production has to emphasize Kim.
Just goes to show what complete idiots studio executives are. There are endless examples proving it.
Wow! Talk about having faith in your vision and others’ talents.
Ann- Margret's costars, Dick Van Dyke and Janet Leigh, were appalled when they saw the musical introduction and closing. When they signed their contracts, THEY were the stars of the movie.
What a performance. Flawless, original delivery.

Ann Margret is originally from Sweden. She tends to have a slight accent when she sings.
I haven't seen this move in forever, but this song has stood out to me because of how crigne-worthy her voice is in this scene.
Beautiful, can sing and act...and stayed beautiful as she aged and still took-on some great parts, won some awards for them too...Ann is a 10!
Can sing and act...but you forgot dance. She was a fine dancer as well. In show biz stars like her who can do it ALL and have great looks too are called "triple threats." .

This number, as performed by Ann Margaret, is iconic, classic and always sexy! I still recall the first time that I saw this, sitting on the living room floor glued to the television, my jaw on the floor.
She is insanely talented!
To set the record straight, Ann-Margret had just turned 22 when this was released, so she was 21 when it was filmed. She's playing a high school girl (hence the high voice), so no more than three or four years younger than she really was. She looks older to us because of the old-fashioned styles, and because teenage girls back then tried to look like grown-ups (as opposed to today, when grown-ups try to look like teenagers).
プレスリーとラスベガス万歳で共演した時は、本当に綺麗な女優さんでした!！！✌️🧒
My gosh this lady is absolutely mesmerizing to watch! I LOVE how her voice represents her immaturity at the beginning, and how it sounds much more mature and controlled by the end; she had such a unique sound and was capable of being versatile with her voice as well. I also respect her for being willing to sing that intro in a way that would make many people assume that she has a bad/annoying voice right off the bat. But she knew the truth, she knew she could do much more with her voice, and she wasn’t about to let the fear of other people’s first impression of her singing stop her from performing her pretty little heart out anyway. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done it at all.
I don’t think these clips would’ve been as intriguing to watch if they had been perfectly polished. I’m a professional singer as well, so I really appreciate and respect her artistry in these clips. I love reading the comments on here of those who also picked up on the clever directing of the intro singing vs. the singing at the end. Kudos❤️👍🏻🎶👏🏻
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Lauren , hope you’re safe and well?
The way she sings the second Caaareeee is amazing!! At 1:09!!!!
Yeah it is, over the years I've learned how to do that ❤️
idk, why would this be amazing? sounds pretty easy tbh
Astro Faultier It's a range of high notes, I'm an alto (I sing low)
She still sounds annoying as hell.
Tycho Brahe Not to me, in my opinion
I can't belive how much charisma she has.
Had
Jerky and weird performance
I saw this movie on tv as a 'midday movie' some time back in the late sixties when I was in my early teens. I 'fell in love' with Ann Margret then, something that I have carried through to the present day. Now in my late sixties, coming across this clip has reminded me of a long lost, and unrequited lust. Thanks for that........I think.
Her face expressions are priceless
Gotta love how clever the Mad Men writers are. What's Don's nickname for Betty? And what happens at the end of the season?
They lost the account.
Luisa Luthor 😂😂

Fuck yourself
Jajajajajajaja really? 🤣 Spoiler
Damn
Ann-Margret was one of those women where any place you walked into you would be like the luckiest man in the room to have her by your side.
She's stunning!!!!😍
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Michelle, hope you’re safe and well?
Funny how people come here and talk crap about her voice. Maybe if you saw the movie you would get the point of it sounding like that.
She didn't sound much better in Tommy
A very stimulating song from a damn good movie!!!!!
Ann-Margret is so amazing!
As I remember this opening for the film was an afterthought and shot after everything also was done. A stoke of genius because audiences went wild over her and it. She is on a treadmill!
I can’t stop watching. She might be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen
Yeah, she was pretty hot back in the day.
Love this movie and Ann Margaret!
Vendo esse vídeo em 2023. Eu vejo várias vezes seguidas só para ver as muitas expressões que Ann Margret consegue fazer em tão pouco tempo.
When my school did this musical last year, we sang the beginning part after our curtain call. We got the audience to start clapping and all of the seniors stood in the front to sing. We were all dancing around and having a great time. It was one of the best experiences ever.
Literally no one gives a shit
This woman is PERFECT
She’s gorgeous and a real talent!
Can't belive i'm watching this in 2014! Damn we miss ladys like this!
DON DRAPER sent me here
My sister loved this song. Miss you, Tess!
tremendous and remarkable performance. propably its not the singing performance... but her attitude towards the camera and the eccentric dance style... i don't know, quite attractive.
She is gorgeous. I've watched this a half dozen times. Don Draper brought me here.
Seeing Ann sing bye, bye birdie in that yellow dress against the blue background when I was 12 caused me to reach puberty in the 5th row center. (or so it seemed) Wow, she IS something else!
