Lmao, what do you want to do with it now it’s free? Listen to it on TH-cam and pay premium for no ads or let companies show you ads to watch it? Or are you going to pay for it on record (vinyl costs) Of course you could download it from somewhere though and it would be freeeeeeeeeeeeee, maybe you can get free wifi and find a second hand phone and second hand speakers to listen to it in your friend’s couch But honestly, oxygen is free, and feels good to breath
@@Hozzizay The internet age should have brought more public domain, but it brought less, internet is a place to share things, more things should lose their copyright and become free to share on the internet with no fear of getting copyright striked or fined. And the main reason why copyright expires, is to allow people to make their own versions, creativity is not just creating something from scratch, taking things that other people made, and making them different, or even better than the original, is also creativity, now people can make free covers of the original song and they will own a copyright on these covers while the original stays free.
The moon belongs to everyone, The best things in life are free The stars belong to everyone, They gleam there for you and me The flowers in spring, the robins that sing The sunbeams that shine, they're yours they're mine And love can come to everyone, The best things in life are free

I can visualize my newly wed grandparents inviting friends over for cake, coffee, home made beer and wine to listen to this music. I was told they literally rolled up the living room rug so they could dance to the days popular jams.
it’s always so strange to me, seeing the little “from …” telling me that this song is from a movie, a movie that i’ll never see, and may never be seen again. the actors, the plot, the jokes, the tragedies, all forgotten. was it a comedy? was it a drama? was it a romance? i, in my finite knowledge, may never know. excellent song!!
that's deep dude, but this movie is actually available on streaming websites and might be available on dvd (i know the 40s version is, yet the 20s I'm not sure). i myself have watched it and it's a goofy little comedy musical, with well known stars at the time such as penny singleton
George Olsen's band did the music for the 1927 Broadway show Good News where this tune got started. Olsen was busy on Broadway in much of the 1920s-30s.
This and other DeSylva, Brown, and Henderson tunes were revived in the 1940s-50s because they were showing in full-color Hollywood musicals. This tune appeared in the 1947 film version of the 1927 Broadway musical Good News where it was introduced and in the 1956 musical The Best Things in Life Are Free, the story of the trio that wrote the tune.
This is music from my parents era. I don't think they would have seen the Film Musical from 1927 so I guess it must have been the 1956 Musical. But they were always singing this song.
@@japanfanatic1415 Being someone born in 1967, I'm delighted to find two people 30 and 40 years my junior liking this kind of music. Of course, growing up in the 1970s and '80s and having these tastes was eccentric then too, the only difference was there were still then a few radio programmes playing it for people who could remember it when it was new!
This reminds me of when I watched the _Knowing Better_ video on _Starship Troopers_ and the part where, when an excerpt from the book is said, a character is mentioned citing an old song that said, “The best things in life are free.” When that quote appeared, he played a clip from (since deceased) Barrett Strong’s “Money (That’s What I Want)”, which, though familiar to modern audiences didn’t exist in the late 1930s when the book was written. That other song takes its line from this one, which is probably what Heinlein was referencing. Was reminded of that when this video appeared in my recommended. Other than that, great song.
@@Tadfafty they were recording a lot of 1920s songs with updated arrangements in the 1950s, and those records became hits while the older ones were forgotten. I wonder if they started recording older songs because there wasn’t as much of a songwriting business…
Hollywood made several big picture, color biographies of 1920s songwriters in the 1950s which brought back and updated much of that music. One was "The Best Things in Life Are Free" 1956. It was the story of the team of DeSylva, Brown, and Henderson which wrote the title and many other popular songs.
Best channel on TH-cam Is free !
And now this song is in the public domain, no longer protected by copyright.
The best things in life really are free.

@@PapagenoMF I think this is the original recording.

This is an amazing reproduction. This is from a 78 RPM platter. No hiss. No pop. Just perfect.
The moon belongs to everyone,
The best things in life are free
The stars belong to everyone,
They gleam there for you and me
The flowers in spring, the robins that sing
The sunbeams that shine, they're yours they're mine
And love can come to everyone,
The best things in life are free
Bert Cooper's swan song in #MadMen.

Wow, thank you! So glad that you're enjoying the presentation.
THE STYLE IS A HAPPY TURN ON. SO WONDERFUL ❤️
I second that! The musical escape is truly needed daily.🎶🎶
I can visualize my newly wed grandparents inviting friends over for cake, coffee, home made beer and wine to listen to this music. I was told they literally rolled up the living room rug so they could dance to the days popular jams.
Had this stuck in my head today... glad I could listen to it!
I JUST LOVE THAT 20'S MUSIC
Just listen to that bass sax before the vocal. Real music!
That's Edward Joyce.
My favorite part of the song tbh
I LOOOOOVE 78Prof!!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!!❤ I get to listen to the music my belov'ed Grandma loved as a girl!!!! Such a treasure: thank you!
You are most welcome, Tara! I'm so pleased to know that you're enjoying our presentation. 🎵
Happy Public Domain Day! This song is now part of the public domain!
Happy Public Domain Day to you too.
God bless.God created the universe. Everything is a derivative work. Screw giant companies keeping copyrights on artists who are long dead.

this song is more than amazing......
I love the George Olsen Band. It has that 1920's sound. Great version of this old song. Thanks for posting.
George Olsen's recordings obtained CD issues - I have a couple. Good things are always worth keeping!
Officially public domain as of today!
That's what brought me hear to

Surely, the signature song for its time - jaunty fun that still appeals today!
On You Tube put in 'Melbourne Ska Orchestra' playing this song...you may like it..

Thanks...love this song...
I've been singing it all my life .
This is perfection but I still wish this wonderful song was longer!
A beautiful song made even more beautiful by the fact that it's sung by a guy named Bob Borger
With his wife Londa and children Gane, Tona and Lauise
Coming from someone who was born in 1997, I enjoy listening to this music! I find the modern stuff repulsive
As a person who was born in 2007, I completely agree, my friend!

I'm from 2003 and I have loved this music since I was 5.
I was born in 1998 and love this music too!
2004 and been a fan since I was 13
Ive listed to this about 10000 times its my theme song
Terrific arrangement
THIS MUSIC IS GREAT
Great old time music well done.
Good band great song
Las mejores cosas de la vida son regaladas - beautiful, spirited version. Thanks!
I love how Bert Cooper did this in Mad Men
¡¡¡¡Bravísimo!!!!
¡Precioso!...
¡Una divina hermosura!
Super excellent interesting
Super excellent
That little sequence from 1:10 to 1:14 is so brilliant and addictive lol.
Takes me back in time .Thank you!
Thank you from Amsterdam.
Great song. And the vocalists name is Bob Borger, for some reason I find that mildly funny.
Fran Frey was another of Olsen's vocalists.
Bob's Burgers should have been run by him, ha! Other names that are great: Muzzy Marcellino and Bix Beiderbecke.
My favorite version of "The Best Things In Life Are Free." Listen to that orchestra!!
The band sounds good tonight!
Bert Cooper's swan song in "Mad-Men" 7th mid-season finale
How can you not sing along?
I got news for him, love is never free and neither is moonshine.

I wonder if that is adrian rolini on bass sax
Are you selling any records?
Sorry, I'm not.
Thought this was a 1950s song.. goddamn
For some reason people confuse the 20s and the 50s a lot.
@@Tadfafty no no The version of the song I first heard from was 1950s and it sounded old as shit so I figured it was just the original. But now I know
