Heard this first on a barry manilow cd Broadway in the 90s from the library in North London he duetted with Frank Spencer no Michael Crawford and another guy good version A!🥰
A NY Broadway producer once told me that “Guys and Dolls” is almost impossible to fuck up its production since it’s so well written. He said if “Guys and Dolls” is screwed up the producer and director are idiots
much like "Breaking Bad" Random dude: "Oh, _______ was such a GREAT ACTOR in that." Me (unless we're talking about Cranston, in which case I agree immediately): "Not really.... The writing was just so great that you or I would seem like outstanding actors too."
I like to imagine what the songwriter felt when the song "came to him " Frank Loesser ( a genius) must have this tune buzzing around in his head. Its infectious and the lyrics are a kick. To put it to music and coreograph it...spectacular.

I find these multi singing pieces annoying; lets face it, you cant understand any one of them can you, so whats the point? Just as well be singing gobbledygook.
I was just marveling at how the sound engineer made one voice at a time absolutely clear and prominent through the whole song, changing which lyric was being emphasized every few seconds. Maybe it was actually easy to do, but as someone with no knowledge of how musical voices are recorded I was (and still am) impressed.
The first time I heard this tune was an ad campaign for Gold Medal flour back in the mid 60s. "Create a chocolate cake. Create a cherry pie. Create a stack of golden biscuits ten feet high. Can do. Can do. With Gold Medal you can do."
Our senior class put on a production of Guys and Dolls. I played the same part that Stubby Kaye played (Nicely-Nicely Johnson). Still brings me goose-bumps 50 years later. Thank you Mrs Toni Bell for making this possible at Clermont High!
I'm standing here at the grave of Equipoise (1928-1938) although he raced till he was 7 yrs old, and only had 4 crops of foals, he sired a Kentucky Derby winner and was the leading sire in the nation, sadly, he died at the age of 10 while in the prime of life, racing fans in New York nicknamed him "The Chocolate Soldier" & "Eckky", and he is further immortalized in this song from 'Guys and Dolls' 17 years after his death. "I got the horse right here" folks
Aren't we fortunate to be able to watch this scene and Brotherhorns over and over to catch all the lyrics and the nuances of the performances? People in the audience for either a live show or movie would be lucky if they caught 1/3 of it, even with perfect diction. Thank you JDFensty and TH-cam!!! (and it's still up after all these years and viewings!)
Excellent point. This piece works very well as is, but your point reminds me of a clever parody I saw (from Key and Peele) poking fun at Les Miserables, and the mass of chorus and principals singing different lyrics all at the same time. It's become a trend I think in modern musicals, and sometimes it is just too much at once. In contrast, Gilbert and Sullivan used a pattern where the different characters and their lyrics got to sing solo in succession before coming together and singing all at once. Most of the time, at least. They did many contrapuntal choruses this way too, usually men's and women's voices, or combinations of principals and chorus. That said, there are some amazing pieces with a whole lot going on, even when one needs several listens through to pick it all up.
@@jonahfalcon1970 Yes, of course. And you're right. This definitely feels more like a stage performance than a movie. I guess I was just comparing it to some contemporary musical/movies where they shoot it 30 times and then stitch it together to make sure you can see all the 'action'.
Ahhh ya' son of a gun! Now I hadda watch it again! LOL That performer nailed that role. He was present during the entire number, but only popped up at the end, with a perfect expression. Even though to me, he was all but invisible, he wasn't. As a background character he did one hell of a job- the opening flourish as the two dolls strutted by, his facial expression was perfect. And how smoooooth he was in pinning up papers. Perfect. Thanks for calling attention to this- you added a dimension to the number that enriched it for me.
Never gets old. Whenever the Triple Crown looms, I have to listen to this just to get my feel for the track back. Plus there's something timeless about guys squawking about what horse they like for the next race, and why.
...in our high school production (soooo long ago!) I was Benny Southstreet... ...nice to have the complete set of lyrics to jog my memory... ... good effort "The LivingAlive"... ...thank you!...

...but there I stood, and I hollered "someone fade me!"... ...but the passengers they new right from wrong... ...(then the people all said sit down, sit down your rocking the boat!)...
Finally got a chance to watch Guys and Dolls for the first time. Loved it. Even my wife, who hates musicals, enjoyed herself. 2½ hours of fun -- with no intermission, so hit the can first! BTW, is it just me, or does Marlon Brando at that age sound a lot like Billy Crystal?
I can't get over the fact that there was a random guy in the corner during this song all along! He's not doing anything; he's just minding his own business while these stooges sing about racehorses. He even looks up from time-to-time thinking: "These guys are singing, so I'm going to mind my own business."
"Can do!" never gets old, I worked with Pitka once on a commercial. I told him he directed one of my all time favorite movies, he said, "really? which one, space jam?" I literally responded with, not that crap! "Let It Ride". He didn't believe me until I started quoted lines and sang the opening of 'Fugue for Tinhorns' for the next 3/4 days of the commercial we were darn near attached at the hip.
Let It Ride was a great movie at least for a horse player and I still quote lines from the movie too. Love telling my track buddies "not in your lifetime " when they tell me who they like.
Let It Ride is such and awesome movie. In the first race, the last horse to load is named 'Guys and Dolls'. You can hear the track announcer say it. Nice little Easter egg.
I was singing this song, learned from the opening credits of Let It Ride, and my wife asked what it was. And here it is! However much I have memorized an otherwise forgotten film of the 80's I've still never seen Guys and Dolls :D (My main knowledge of Gs&Ds is from Mark Hamill singing "we're just a bunch of crazy guys and dolls...") Happy to see I am not totally alone. LIR was a really good movie!!
@@gregpadala3167even if you're not into racing, it's a great movie if you're looking for a happy ending. Occasionally it's nice to see a down-on-his-luck shulb's ship finally come in. 😁🤑
you are not alone, I woke up one morning after watching the movie, and when I remembered where I heard it, and found it on youtube, I had to listen to about 30 versions of it, all of which I enjoyed...there is something magical about this song....
I got the horse right here, the name is Paul Revere, and he's the ghost of the horse that won last year.
Its a reference to My Brother my brother and me. where they sing a song "Fugue for Brotherhorns " which insanely, was written by Lin Manuel Miranda
Call it epitaph, he’s not a horse by half, he’s got no arms legs or face but he makes me laugh
I went for valentine, he’s in the heaven line, it’ said his funeral was from 5 to 9

Hard to go wrong with Frank Loesser!
the perfectly timed cigarette flick at 0:31 is a thing of beauty
And his tapping off the ashes on the first "can do"
Im here for this
Now that I look at it, the cigarette seems to fly away impossibly fast. Must have been a stunt cigarette. ;-)
Probably a real-life smoker. Even if you're not a musical performer, it's amazing how much dexterity smokers have with their little routines.
Great observation skills have you!
"Watch quick, it'll be removed pretty quickly."
Who's watching it three years later in 2019? :)

I was watching it in 1960.
Nope! 2020
I'm watching it in 2020. I'm one of the last humans left on earth.
2021.
Thank you Frank Loesser - brilliant! what a creative genius! never fails thank you for posting
Its the only song that actually calms down my own horse. Guess she likes show tunes
As someone who has played Rusty Charlie (Tall guy that starts on the left), yes, this song was exactly as fun and MORE as it shows up here!
A perfect number if there ever was one.
this song flows quite _nicely_
I like to imagine what the songwriter felt when the song "came to him " Frank Loesser ( a genius) must have this tune buzzing around in his head. Its infectious and the lyrics are a kick. To put it to music and coreograph it...spectacular.
I have always loved this piece. I never knew what the title is!
who wrote this shit. its amazing . like how do you even orchestrate this in your head
@Stranded NYer thanks person lol . dont know if u a dude or a chick. Ive never heard of that musical style and row your boat has always been sung in unison in my life. But i do remember hearing it sung like that. I make music and the act of overlapping sounds making an amazing new feeling fascinates me. Thanks again

Always lay on the great grandson of Equipoise to at least show. It's a chemical certainty.

The shoe shine guy in the back is also great
how can they are argue singing thats amazing. By the way i got sent hear by my music teacher
Thumbs up to your music teacher!
Wouldn't this be more of a canon than a fugue? lol
Indeed! As a fugue it raises the idea of a 'tonal answer' to a whole new level :)
Asking the real questions
Priceless!!!!!!!!
This is from my all time favorite movie!
Simply fantastic!
Woke up with this song in my head
you sir, are a champion.
I can't imagine a modern version of this where they do it on mobile phones instead of with newspapers.
He's a law en-horse-ment officer
Horse cop
Horse cop
i’m playing benny right now!
I got the feedbox noise. Says that Fugue for Tinhorns is the height of 20th Century American culture.
0:19 Notice the cigarette tapping finger matching the beat of the music. Arranger/orchestrator Nels Riddle.
Man this is so good. I need that check this out.
One at time please guys.
What about "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat"? The Nathan Lane of the 40's & 50's
I like to imagine their newspapers cleverly hide their scripts for that song.
Wonderful!
Barbara Please is a great name for a horse.
This video in 2× is just great 😂

The singing is amazing, but the guy running the newsstand gives an Oscar-worthy performance.

However much I have memorized an otherwise forgotten film of the 80's I've still never seen Guys and Dolls :D (My main knowledge of Gs&Ds is from Mark Hamill singing "we're just a bunch of crazy guys and dolls...")
Happy to see I am not totally alone. LIR was a really good movie!!
@@gregpadala3167even if you're not into racing, it's a great movie if you're looking for a happy ending.
Occasionally it's nice to see a down-on-his-luck shulb's ship finally come in. 😁🤑
This is one of those songs that get stuck in your head...
This show stopper piece appeared in the very beginning of "Guys and Dolls." What a musical and dramatic impact it still has.
Doing six performances in may (pit musician). Love this bit
Were doing this musical at my school, I got callbacks and cast list is posted on Monday, wish me luck please
Oh God You Devil this was the lullaby
Who is here because of ""Let It Ride"
I originally came here because of "Oh God, You Devil!" Before Morgan Freeman was God, He was George Burns. ;)
Me. I love Let it Ride. I don't get why the film isn't better known. It's a gem.
@@ElectroDFW Morgan Freeman played George Burns? Damn that guy's got range!
I was raised watching that movie by a horse race loving father, have seen it hundreds of times and never knew the song was from guys and dolls!
Maybe I am biased but it seems this music and these actors are better than today's?
@@n.o.n.e. And done in one continuous take, not a bunch of spliced-together good moments.
Im obsessed with this song😂its so amazing I just cant get over how all three are talkin about their own horse on top of eachother without stopping
Consummate professionals, they are. I sure as heck couldn't do it. Lol
And not cracking up!
you are not alone, I woke up one morning after watching the movie, and when I remembered where I heard it, and found it on youtube, I had to listen to about 30 versions of it, all of which I enjoyed...there is something magical about this song....
And then the harmonies at the end -- I got chills, it was so perfect!
Right up there with classical opera in the multivoice department!
