@@raymondny123 Cry about it dude! I'm willing to bet if it was a song racist against white people you'd be laughing at how funny and true it was. People are allowed to make fun of each other. People live stereotypes. It's not like they were created from thin air. As long as you're making racist music and not out there creating racist hate crimes, I see nothing wrong with it. These people have freedom of speech, thought, and feelings just like anybody else. It's a good tune and I'm willing to bet it's a whole lot more than you could ever play or compose. I encourage you make your own "racist" song and make fun of anyone you want. It's fine. we will all survive.
@@myahcross4592 Itching to get mad at? Not at all. If more people had common sense there wouldn't be any reason to be mad at all. I just thought I'd say what needed to be said. I don't see how it was angry but more from the heart.
Probably because it's over a century old. There is no way the person who wrote it is still alive. It becomes a piece of history that can be put in its proper context and examined as a piece for its place and time.
I went to another site to find the words ... wound up at the website for the University of Mississippi. They point out that this is our history. I love ragtime. The lyrics I could do nicely without, to say the least.
here are some real "Musical Gems" hidden in songs we could never get away with today as the Lyrics would be considered "Racist". I collect old music myself and put them on MIDI just to hear the MUSIC behind them, which is often quite good. Too bad racist lyrics were so much in fashion in the early 1900s.
This is by no means "racist". It was an evolution of music called, "coon music" or "coon songs"...which led directly to ragtime, jazz, blues and rap music. To claim racism is PRESENTISM or HISTORICAL PARTICULARISM (in anthropological terms)....a logical fallacy judging past cultures by your own modern day standards. This music (without lyrics...most coon songs have lyrics) was an evolution, which accepted black culture into "normal society", that led directly to the harlem renaissance. Without this music we would not have blues, jazz, ragtime or rap today.
Really? Are you that programmed you have to start a "racial BS" fight just cause you have listened to brainwashing since inception? btw what do I hear. . .? . . . chirp chirp chip The real question is are you even smart enough to understand what's going on in a larger picture? Of that I'd wager against!
Actually you're correct!! "Colored people" at this time period were ALWAYS republican, since that party freed the slaves in 1865. Colored people CREATED coon songs in the late 1800s with the kentuckian ernest hogan, which led to ragtime, blues, jazz and rap. The democratic party enslaved black people, hence the American Civil War. For 100 years, after the Civil War, black peoples were republican.
it is 11/24/23 12:05 AM Eastern Standard time, as i am writing this, this video has 666 likes. I really want to like it, but I also don't want to fuck that up. if its possible the poster should lock likes so it stays that way
It is wonderful to know that the folks who enjoyed this song in 1900 are dead and in Hell. Let's hope that those who try to revive all that hate will soon join their forebears.
You do realize that saying the G-word to people whom has red-orange hair, and red-orange freckles is literally offensive, and very disrespectful, right? 😕 @@EliChristman
@@jasonsamuelcromwellii5346 offense is taken, not given. And my grandmother was ginger. And I have ginger strands in my beard... I think that makes me a day walker. I'm OK with it. I forgive myself.
If that music from 1900 AD/CE is kid-friendly/family-friendly, and it's the 21st century, then the creator/writer of this music should've changed the name of the title-sequence considering the fact that the name of the title itself is very racist, and offensive to Afro-Americans alike. (no disrespect/no pun intended)
I see alot of people dont know who Gene Jefferson is 😂 Imagine claiming a satirical song written by a black man about how black he is, is offensive and racist toward black people 😂 Next youll claim Nick Cannon is a white supremacist for making black jokes on Wild n Out.
Happy tune, raccoons are adorable
it's actually about the maine coon cat breed
💀
So are little coons. Just adorable.
That ain’t what this is about
@@raymondny123Nah you trippin man, this song is about raccoons
Ima buy me an ice-cream truck and blast this on the loud speaker...😂
That’s a lot of work just play it out of your car
are you just asking to get robbed?
@@bootchop88 ya have to buy him dinner first!
Maybe a Nice Dreams Van
Well other racist songs have been played on them before.
They played this song at my local Walmart on repeat all day once. I think they thought it was Christmas music 🎶 🎵 🤔
Easy to remember title.
Is this Eric Cartman’s theme song?
I don't think is fat enough for that
Was thinking about him 🦝
The comments are surprisingly tame. 😆
LMAO i zoomed in on the lyrics so i could sing along 😂😂😂
What an amazing tune... If I ever learn to read sheet music I'm definitely learning this.
You know how racist this is right

@@RebelPride1993 Wow you were just really itching for someone to get mad at, chill man

I was looking for some song with an oboe. How did i end up here
The tune is actually really good!
I just get hysterical and laugh my butt off. I wish they would play this music at all the sporting events!!!
Flute doubling the melody doesn't work for me. I know it's to replace the vocal line which isn't very PC, but sax would have been a better choice.
The members in my church whistle this tune when I walk by..I like the beat
Lmao how did I get here!
Asking myself the same thing 🤣
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!! THERE SHOULD BE LYRICS THOUGH
This song slaps
*whips
The title made me laugh, the tune is fun, too 😂
Melody’s a banger
INCREDIBLE!!!!
Why is this not cancelled and hidden away? Its good music maybe some people need to stop overreacting and listen first...

@@llpolluxll The man who wrote this was a black man.
hood classic
BOOGIE WOOGIE !!
Damn son... Where'd you find this?
Yes, the title is distasteful, but this a brilliant piece of ragtime piano.
Nothing distasteful that I found !
"distasteful"
what do you have against raccoons?? 😢
@@nodaysoff2358 sicko
How in tarnation did listening to Primus send me here?! TH-cam is busted..when they say the good old, is this it? I prefer goober peas.
Six years of piano lessons, but I couldn't hope to be able to play ragtime----That takes innate talent.
I had to play this, several times before I could catch the melody.
Def can"t play this in Australia😅
Check out Arthur Collin’s version with vocals 😂
Joe Bidens favorite song 🤣😂
😁😭🍺🍺🍺🍺
😂yep
👍🏻😂👍🏻
🤘🍻
MULTCHROY you spode
Ragtime, but for some strange reason not as popular as The Maple Leaf Rag.
Not actually ragtime. It's another genre, known as Coon songs
Anybody read the words on the music sheet?
I zoomed in, so yes!
Written by a black man. 👍🏼

Certified Hood Classic
ROFL. Oh dear. That wouldn't last 5 mins these days. Nice tune.
Perfect song for a clip of racoons playing
And people moan about 70's comedy...
Wait so moon man is gone but this is still allowed?
Good song
Ja geil jo ❤❤❤
i need to play this at work and see if anyone gets it lol
A nice alternative to the usual Welcome to Country !

Brilliant

TH-cam must understand something than😅.
LOL, and very enjoyable to listen to.
& then he tops it off by choosing a black FEMALE Vice President.
Yeaaaah , I dont get what youre selling ?
Was there not a song how white your hood could B, if you just moved outta Harlem, or used Jefferson Cleaners upper east location?

Instrumental versions would've been better, but that will not change the fact...
This was written by a black man.
It's not racist it's self reflective.
Remember kids it's not racist if it's true❤

Where the words !
Well this is the same music as "Hush, hush, hush, here comes The Boogeyman"
bruh the way they stole their music then called them that 💀
lol...
I'm somewhat disappointed it doesn't come with lyrics....
Can you imagine that on YT in [current_year+9] ? 🤣
A.I. getin outta hand
Oh my!!!!
And what is it, what happened???
@iUsedToGETreportedALOTLMAOO
I think it depicts the lazy nature of such .
How about printing the words or at least subtitles.
Seems like the republicans favorites song
1994 legislation pushed and endorsed by Joe biden would prove you stupid ... 1994 crime bill
I wonder what this songs about 😂
it's about racoons. they were very popular pets back in the late 1890''s - early 1900's
@NEVERmoreLenoreEVER really!!!! okay, my bad.
Merry Christmas to you.

HAte ain't got nuthin to do with it. Really, you got no clue.
Aren't you showing hate towards them or is your hate acceptable as long as you agree with it?
Lol “enjoying something offensive to me gets you sent to hell” 🤡
dead and just dead. no coming back after that your brain literally switched from on to off.
You do realize this was written by a black man for other black men correct? 🤦♂️
Soulless track
Maybe if it was about Gingers. ;-)
