Dick Van Dyke is a world treasure. Still going, into his 90s. When he does trip over that final ottoman in the sky, those who remain will have only the pleasure of watching his many great performances for the rest of time.
His dancing, like that of the other tall musicals actor Ray Bolger (Scarecrow in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz) had an uncanny flexibility and ability to sway against gravity.
@SvendBosanovski...Totally agree with you love. Quite possibly underrated and still going strong. I just love my Musicals especially and in my opinion his accent in mary Poppins just went by the wayside for me (it was acceptable cockney) because his dancing and charisma outshone!! Donald O'connor in singing in the rain was underrated too in my opinion,even though I adore Gene Kelly!😊
why do all this when we have independent women dancing for men who don't need a man to impress them for one night. all my independent women make men dance like clowns for them.
The world has enjoyed 3 distinctive, enduring and wonderful dancers. First was elegant Astaire, secondly was the vibrant Kelly, and third that elasticized Van Dyke. They were what dancing IS all about - grace, rythm, strength and discipline. We will always love and appreciate your talent - thanks to TH-cam we can watch your genius at work - anytime. We love(d) you all.
This is really sweet. I'm glad we have these innocent, feel-good movies to look back on today in this miserable world we live in (not to say it wasn't also miserable back then, but it's more difficult to support yourself now). You could never make a movie like this today that wasn't a parody.
🙂Dick Van Dyke my favorite🙂 Ahh, don't make em' like that anymore. 🏆 Goodness through and through, I for one feel honored that we have all been blessed to have him entertain us during our lifetime. He is magical 🌟 ⭐️ 🌠 💫 😇🙏 Love you man❤
Dick is a happy face inside and out which is why he is still alive and well. Yes he's had a dark time but he pulled through it with that irrepressible love of life and enjoying himself, which in these horrible times we all need a little bit of what he has in spades. This is fantastic, whimsical and inventive, I must watch the whole film, I love drawing the smiley and frowny faces on screen, and the shadow happy Janet Leigh. But no wonder she's frowning, she's just escaped Anthony Perkins, obviously!
There now sits a TH-cam a reprise of his exact performance of this number done live for the Ed Sullivan Show. Unfortunately its a comment- free clip. So I am left to write what I saw, there over here. It showcases all the gifts that made Van Dyke a true genius. He sings well enough, and he is more a hoofer than a classical dancer but as a physical comedian and actor, there is no man better!. The way he angles his body and uses his trunk arms and legs as he dances, the plasticity of his face and the comedic timing are perfection. He squeezes every ounce of potential for humor that anyone can envision. Just brilliant .
Excellent stoked groovy musical job fellows!! The thing that makes Dick Van Dyke so fantastic is his absolute perfect blending of physicality and subtlety. Amazing...!
En 1963 se estrenó en una película un musical de Broadway que tenía muy buena música, Dick Van Dike y Janet Leigh interpretaron los papeles principales y grabaron la canción "Put on a happy face" (Pon una cara feliz) compuesta por Charles Strouse y con letra de Irving Brecher. El tema se popularizó tanto que hace poco tiempo lo grabó en CD Tony Bennett. Era notable en estos tiempos la ductilidad de los actores para interpretar comedias musicales. La comedia musical se llama "Bye bye birdie".,
For a family reunion two weeks ago we went to Danville, IL where Mr. Van Dyke (and my Dad) grew up. The Fischer Theater where he performed is a beauty, and he's donated a lot of his memorabilia to it. I will have to force myself put on a happy face when I hear he's finally left us, but I know that's what he'd want. What an entertainer, as were his brother (who apparently was kicked out of Danville High School for riding a motorcycle down the hall) and Dad.
@Awedda.. For Sure there is an afterlife! The only reason I'm making a comment is because I have just noticed that you have asked that question a couple of times within a 2 year period. But that is just my opinion on life. Just decide yourself luv!!😊🤗
@Krizia RP.. Me too luv!! I just think that any song that makes you feel happy is good..Louis Armstrong singing It's A Wonderful World and similar songs I hope will eventually become our children's future!😊🤗
Good gracious, I need to watch this movie. This is one gorgeous song and the visuals are beautifully edited. Paramount in my decision is the inestimable talent of Dick Van Dyke.
What a great question. There is definitely something beyond the death of the body. I don't know positively what that might be. I suspect it could be transpersonal, meaning that the personality we have in this life is no longer a limitation, as we move onto another level. People who have used psychedelics might have had foreshadowings of that. BTW, I do not have experience with drugs. //
My two favorite entertainers! Dick Van Dyke and Danny Kaye! Both geniuses. Dick is more subtle in his approch, while Danny is all over the place! They absolutely know their craft and kept people puting on a happy face. No way do you find this in Hollyweird today. Too much violance and not enough smart acting. RIP to the two D's. ♥️🙏🏼♥️🥰🥰
This is just so great! I have mental and anxiety issues. I have to assume that anyone who gave this a THUMBS DOWN is way more mental than I am. Thanks for the post!
Dick Van Dyke...what a national treasure. So many cool songs came from the movie. And only $13 Million in box office revenue. That is like half a Saturday for the new END GAME movie. Wow..
Almost everyone is familiar with the opening line to this song "Gray Skies are gonna clear up"...but for some reason it seems they changed it for the movie version.
Sing this through gritted teeth as it's your alarm clock song, whilst washing the dishes and making coffee/breakfast for the most ungrateful person in the world.

My grandmother was in high school with him!
@@Clementine_Dreally? That's soo cool!!
What’s even crazier is that both of the guys who wrote this song are still alive! Talk about the power of positive thinking!
is it true?🎉wonderful!
50years ago I saw him
who was very nice actor.
50years he was my type.
from japan.❤😊
@@xyzposo751こんにちは！デイック ヴァン ダイクのことを好きな人に初めて出会いました。感動です！本当に何でも出来る実力派の上にお人柄が溢れるようなユーモアのある演技をなさる方ですよね。もっと日本でも認知されるべきだと思うのですが。。ウン十年前にファンレターを書いたらA4サイズの大きな写真にサインを書いて送り返してくれたことがありました(その時の写真もカッコ良かったけれどすでにおじいちゃんだったので驚きましたが、いつまでも若い頃のイメージでいた自分もどうかと思いますね😊)その後実家を出たのですがしばらくしてある日家に帰ったら無くなっていました。ガラスの扉付きの本棚に飾っていたのですがもしかすると親が私の部屋を整理したときに紛失してしまったのかもしれません😢。でもかろうじて今でもその時の封筒は大切に保管してあります。そうそう人の物を捨ててしまう親でもないのでいつかヒョッコリ出てくればいいなぁなんて思ってるんですよ。デイック ヴァン ダイクを好きなあなたはもしかするとダニーケイもお好きかもしれないですね(でもやっぱり自分はデイックの方かな、、ムズカシイ！)。これはあくまでも持論ですが日本ではダニー・ケイの方に圧されちゃったんじゃないかなぁ、、なんて思っているんです。２人ともとてもよく似たタイプの俳優さんだったからどちらに人気が出てもおかしくないんですけどね🤗。とても嬉しかったのでついながーくなりました！突然こんな返信を受けて驚かれたでしょう。ごめんなさいね、それでは‼️
How can you not love this man. This song actually makes me happy and smile when I hear it

My favorite movies with him are Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
And then the Jokers of Batman movies greatly hurt the message of the song.
The fact that his name is "Dick"
It’s amazing that he is actually not a trained dancer but his experience with being a mime gave him the ability for great body movement…
Dick was one of the great all-rounders. He could sing, dance, do comedy or more serious roles so brilliantly.
The only thing he can't do is a proper Cockney accent.
@SvendBosanovski...Totally agree with you love. Quite possibly underrated and still going strong. I just love my Musicals especially and in my opinion his accent in mary Poppins just went by the wayside for me (it was acceptable cockney) because his dancing and charisma outshone!!

You mean is not was. He is still alive!
Well, everything except for a decent English accent
@@SavvyMuhon It didn’t help that the person who trained him for his Cockney accent was Irish actor J Pat O’ Malley.
Dick Van Dyke has such a soothing voice!
Literally the song that made Dick Van Dyke's career. Brilliant.
I used to think it was Chim Chim Cheerie
So well done. He's one of our most talented -- sings, dances and acts with perfect comedic timing. Nobody like him today.
why do all this when we have independent women dancing for men who don't need a man to impress them for one night. all my independent women make men dance like clowns for them.
I think you are right 👍
Was depressed an all a sudden this tune popped up in my head!
@Tara Kimble.. Understand Luv..😊😊🥰🤗🤗
You are reading my mind!
Whenever I have it come up it's usually as a sarcastic refrain.
Love Mr. Van Dyke !
He always makes you feel good.
@@madkittyjoey70 Who was his brother? What was he in?

The inspired work of God!
Wonderful Performance Mr Van Dyke. you're AWESOME in this along with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and of course Mary Poppins
And anything else he's in :)
🙂Dick Van Dyke my favorite🙂

Jasmine Surreal what A dancer
Checking this song out after hearing Randy Rainbow's version - 'Cover your Freakin' Face'.
Me too!
Same here
Me too
Me too!!! He's made me learn and appreciate musicals ❤️
Am I the only one who wanted this backyard growing up? ❤️
I needed a pick-me-up today. This was it. Thanks Andrew Moats, Janet Leigh, and especially Dick Van Dyke.
I LOVE OLDTIME MUSICALS!
Are you vaccinated?
ME TOOO!!!
same but I like modern musicals too
My grandmother went to high school with Dick Van Dyke.
Still dropping in to see this in 2024 :)
this song helps me get through the coronavirus.
I know that things will get better eventually.
THIS IS MY NO MASK SONG. BECAUSE WEARING A MASK IS BULLSHIT.
Too bad we all have to wear that gloomy mask of tragedy now
I am now smiling so much I think my face is gonna crack.

NBC hara un musical en vivo de "BYE BYE BIRDIE" para la navidad del 2017 protagonizada por Jennifer Lopez !!!
camrebirth Muchas gracias por la información, saludos.
I ❤ Dick Van Dyke. My love this song Put On A Happy Face.
Love..absolutely LOVE this song :)!! Always a cheer to watch!
This was our go to movie as kids. Remember it the movie theater and then watching endless reruns when it hit TV.
Janet Leigh is so incredibly beautiful 😻

I dare you to watch this without smiling at least once.
Carden Blackthorne I did... Im dead inside :")
XD It's so easy for me!
That's impossible, how dare you.
It's a catchy song, c'mon!
I was doing it pretty well until I saw this comment. You KNOW no one can avoid smiling when told not to smile
@@adgefreeman6091 same! I totally failed!
I always thought those Walk Spasms He did with a straight face were Hilarious 😂 Such a Legend

Joker is holding the same flowers in the Joker teaser trailer

How in the WORLD can 20 people find something to not like about this?
They just need to put on a happy face
24 people seem to have used a sappy face instead
It's great.
Amos Pressley Theyre probably bots
Amos Pressley Some people look for happiness in all the wrong places! hahaha! :)
I was singing today, only to realize that I never knew where it was from. so, I youtubed and fount it. Thanks, youtube!
To Ned Flanders, that made the amazing recovery of the Leftorium.
Pure Genius!!!!
I love this, talk about a movie that was so ahead of it's time.
In what way?
ummm the filming of visual effects, possibly. what do you think..??@@chrisn7259
Adorable video. And the tall dude is and will always be so cute.
Dick Van Dyke? Yeah, of course!
I like this song i don't care if it's old,it is a great song in my opinion
Bianca Perez I used to sing to my daughter to put her to sleep as a baby. She's 16 now and I just played it to her
me too Bianca.
Some of the old classic tunes from the old time musicals are the best
If anything, it makes the song better. Compare to today's songs.
I love it because it’s an old song
Love this song❤️
@Krizia RP.. Me too luv!! I just think that any song that makes you feel happy is good..Louis Armstrong singing It's A Wonderful World and similar songs I hope will eventually become our children's future!😊🤗
Utterly Fascinating Production!
Grey skies are gonna clear up. Put on a Windex shine. Spray sunshine all over the place.
And put on a Windex shine.
My Grandmother Used To Sing That From The Musical Bye Bye Birdie All The Time

I used to think my life was a tragedy… but now I realize… it’s a comedy.
Never heard of this song till I heard it as bumper music for Dennis Prager's Happiness Hour. Glad I watched it. Thanks for putting this up. :)
So wholesome
Happy 98 birthday Dick van Dyke
A great song by Adams and Strouse.
I never knew where this song came from until I watched this film, Ann Margaret was awesome!
I came here to cheer up. It worked! Thanks!🙂
I love Dick Van Dyke. Jerry was great, too.
this song is my alarm clock. gets me going every morning
DVD did a lot of dancing with imaginary objects back in the day!

2024 Emy's brought me here .... thanks again Dick!!!!
Miss movies like this❤
This song rules. I only knew it from The Simpsons and it randomly popped into my head today.
the songs out now are so sad and depressing. i put this on to make me happy
Never saw this before! Wow!
My two favorite entertainers! Dick Van Dyke and Danny Kaye! Both geniuses. Dick is more subtle in his approch, while Danny is all over the place!

This is just so great! I have mental and anxiety issues. I have to assume that anyone who gave this a THUMBS DOWN is way more mental than I am. Thanks for the post!
Lynn Rooney I also have bipolar depression. Songs like this and my wonderful psychologist have put me back together. Hope the same for you.!
I'm going to be auditioning for Albert in a production of this play. This song is going on loop, I intend to come prepared ;)
I wish you the best of luck! :)
Thanks! Good luck to you too, in whatever endeavors you decide to partake in :)
Break a leg!
Patty Ann Baker I ended up getting Hugo, thanks for the support though :)
Congrats!
I get to be sad girl in my school's production of this. Our Albert is the nicest guy in the world, and I love dancing with him :)
Perfect ending for Simpsons season 3 episode 3
This is the perfect song for We Happy Few.
That is an amazing idea
iRaccoon You should listen to the Tony Bennett version, that version was practically made for We Happy Few.
Wish I could have seen him dance this with Chita Rivera in the Broadway version.
He didn’t dance this number with her in Broadway. He danced with two girls who were sad about Conrad going in the army.
Dick Van Dyke...what a national treasure. So many cool songs came from the movie. And only $13 Million in box office revenue. That is like half a Saturday for the new END GAME movie. Wow..
Love it!
If anyone deserved the government award last night it was him.
sounds like a song all the world should be sininging!
He was a nut, always quacked me up.
Love this! 😊
My grandmother loved to sing a bit of this to me, and I thought it was so corny, now I'm outside a remberance for her crying.
Great reminder :)
You would never guess who took Van Dyke's role - Gene Rayburn of Match Game! And HIS understudy was.... CHARLES NELSON REILLY!
this movie could never be made today since we don't have a draft and every single celebrity seemingly hates America and its people....
We live in a lousy cynical world
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HIM....LOVE THIS SONG.
Great!
Good tune to put along with Put on your Sunday Clothes from Hello Dolly.
I love Hello Dolly too
Joker2019
What an uplifting song.
My favourite movie and song.
Awesome!
During a time of Covid, this helps, even if just a little.
Been a while since i heard this
Cute!
this sounds like a song Joker would sing to Batman
😂😆
XD
simonster -909 yes but much evil
Exactly what I was thinking :)
dick van dyke is best joker. hands down. fuck jared leto. fuck heath ledger.
Me trying to get the kids in my basement to stop crying
Almost everyone is familiar with the opening line to this song "Gray Skies are gonna clear up"...but for some reason it seems they changed it for the movie version.
Easy to see here why Van Dyke was perfect for Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Terrific
1:10 I prefer this line to the one in the single I've heard it's like a life model
If possible, NBC should find a way for Dick Van Dyke to cameo in their version. Maybe he could play the mayor?
Dsneybuf or Maude.
That would be nice. If J Lo can now put it back in development
This is what a well-adjusted Joker might look like.
Sing this through gritted teeth as it's your alarm clock song, whilst washing the dishes and making coffee/breakfast for the most ungrateful person in the world.
Ok I feel so dumb. I have seen this movie a million times and some how I have never once put it together that this is Dick Van Dike
