I remember this was the first B&W movie I watched when we moved from Sri Lanka to England to join my father. Ever since this movie has stayed with me with a sentimental attachment. I'm a great fan of Bob Hope. It's a shame today kids don't appreciate these great movies of the long-gone by Golden Age. Media companies should start bringing back these movies to the television. We sure need some uplifting at a time when the World is going mad.
Arguably, a song deserving of its Academy Award for Best Original Song. Those of you who would like a musical revue centered around the songs of Livingston and Evans, raise your hand.
I can't listen to this song without thinking of "Frasier" season 3 episode 16 where he sings this song for a PBS telethon >>> "bipiddy, bopitty, somethin' and does, somethin' and somethin' and Buttons and Bows" HA HA HA!!!!!!!
Button and Bows won The Palface its only Academy Award (Best Original Song). Bob Hope sung at least one song in almost all his films and while Bing Crosby was the more popular singer, Bob Hope actually sang in more films! Bob Hope also introduced the Christmas classic Silver Bells in the movie The Lemon Drop Kid. By the way, The Paleface was loosely inspired by the life of western author Zane Grey who was a New York Dentist who traveled west to explore the land with Teddy Roosevelt.
BRAVO! Early greatest ORIGINAL version!BRAVO good for this rendering! A good incredible song and multiple singers! A great American rendition! BRAVO from PARIS FRANCE! Emmanuel
Singing cowboy Roy Rogers was actually named Leonard Slye, born in Cincinnati. His persona was HEAVILY marketed, and he found that he couldn't go anywhere in cowboy hat and duds without being mobbed by fans. Getting a bit sick of it, he decided to try taking the train while wearing a regular business suit. To his delight, he "passed." Then he bumped into a friend from his old Cincinnati neighborhood, who greeted him with: "Leonard Slye!" Then peered at him. "Where in helll you bin?"
Bob Hope is one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived! Shame he had to die, especially after his 100th birthday. Long live Bob Hope in our memories. Thanks for the memories Bob!!
My father used to walk around singing this song. I copied him, cus he's my dad. Eventually I wanted to find out where it came from, and the internet was around and prominent then. So I watched it, now I can remember more than "buttons and bows buttons and bow."
Thanks a million ........ for posting .... you have great comic taste.... Well done..... For taking the time to share .... For your kind deed you will recieve good karma for the entire .....2010 and 2011 college football season......
Paramount always made sure Bob Hope had a great song to sing in his films. In this case that was a good idea since this song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. He also introduced "Thanks for the Memory" in The Big Broadcast of 1938 and it won for Best Original Song as well and "Silver Bells" in The Lemon Drop Kid which became a Christmas classic. BTW, the patter Bob does in the sequel with Roy Rogers and Jane Russell is called "Little Willies" (Little Willie With A Rock, Beaned The Cuckoo In The Clock, Father Asked Why Don't It Tick, Willie Said The Bird Is Sick).
Those are actually referred to as "Little Willies," a popular type of rhyme back in the day. They often used Little Willie in the poem but as shown here, not always. Example: Little Willie with a rock, beaned a cuckoo in the clock, Father asked why don't it tick, Willie said the bird is sick.
@dandanthetaximan- i DID watch the the whole video, which is why I made the comment about Russell's legs. The moment i mentioned @ 3:20 is IN that version! To quote my comment, "Right after this he DOWNS a massive glass of some drink called "No Use Killing Two Horses", wish it was on here." The "wish it was on here" was Bob downing that drink (which immediately follows the song in the movie). It was NOT for the song itself. You should have re-read my comment before commenting. :)
oh my. Bob breaks into overdubbed spanish at 3:20! the one of Bob in The Paleface is nice, but i prefer the Son of Paleface version- you got Jane and Roy harmonizing- its really good, even with Bob jumping in ("kissed a girl when i was 10, darned if i ain't ready again"). Right after this he DOWNS a massive glass of some drink called "No Use Killing Two Horses", wish it was on here. PS- i can't get past the damn legs on Jane Russell. She must be the reason they called 'em gams back then.
no. he didn't play the accordion, They were called squeezebox,s, and he was miming, as they say. I remember seeing the film in the 50,s at a matinee us kids went to every Saturday, at 1.30pm. It cost 9 pence to get in...

'Buttons and Bows' won the Academy Award for best original song!

From vaudeville
When I was a kid, I had a music box shaped like a sewing machine which played this song. No lyrics of course. I loved that old music box so much...
nice song great actor
Let's all go to a taco show!
Bob Hope is awesome!
Bob Hope, the original rapper
Thank You
Thumbs up if you think Bob Hope and Kelsey Grammer look alike!
Kelsey Grammer has made it publicly known that Bob Hope was a huge influence.

my childhood !
Rest in Peace Jane Russell
sehr gut lied.
oh my. Bob breaks into overdubbed spanish at 3:20!
the one of Bob in The Paleface is nice, but i prefer the Son of Paleface version- you got Jane and Roy harmonizing- its really good, even with Bob jumping in ("kissed a girl when i was 10, darned if i ain't ready again"). Right after this he DOWNS a massive glass of some drink called "No Use Killing Two Horses", wish it was on here.
PS- i can't get past the damn legs on Jane Russell. She must be the reason they called 'em gams back then.
Bob Hope was a lot of fun here but don't miss Dinah Shore's original 1946 version that was a million seller.
It So Great
lmao, i love bob, he's hilarious
@hedgehoggy1993. Me too, lol. I love Frasier!
classic
no. he didn't play the accordion, They were called squeezebox,s, and he was miming, as they say. I remember seeing the film in the 50,s at a matinee us kids went to every Saturday, at 1.30pm. It cost 9 pence to get in...

Hmmm. That's interesting. A bit like the square dance caller saying "chicken in the breadpan pickin' out dough", and stuff, I guess. Thanks for your reply! ;)

Jane sure had a set of legs!! Harvard is a school???
Bob Hope seems to be doing an early sorta form of RAP music!! Very well, actually!

East is east and west is west, and the wrong one I have chose...
