The blond is the straight man and makes the whole thing work - especially when he breaks cover and gives a great 'YEOOOOW! Other versions have have performers who grin and grimace and the effect is entirely lost
Ok so I recently found out the blond is Hyacinthe De Moulins and the dark haired one Regis Mengus. Regis became a baritone opera singer, and a handsome one at that. Seriously look him up!
Honestly I can listen to this forever. It's hilarious, and I love the backstory to it. Those kids were so talented. It's a good thing that I'm not the one singing it. I'm only watching it and I can't keep a straight face. :D
Glorious fun. I like how they sell the comedy of it: Just at first you think the boy on the left is playing it straight. Then the compete a little, tossing it back and forth. Boy, left, gets the prize for keeping it straight-faced at a critical moment. Boy on right has the best meow. Or does he? Hard to know which sound comes from where. . .
I first saw a snippet of this clip on IG today. I wanted to find the whole song on here & I’m glad I found the rest of this video! I was missing meowt! Lol! They did a great job! I just realized how long ago this video was taken. I wonder what they’re doing meow. Ok, I’ll stop. 👏🤣😝
This was performed more than 10 years ago. I wonder what these two virtuosos are up to today? Maybe graduating from a 'duet for two cats' to a 'duel for two football studs' ...LOL!
I'd heard somewhere that he wrote this opera because another composer compared his work to cats fighting, but ihavent found anything to back it up with. Brilliant.
I think this performance is so good because they do it without a hint of irony. They're not trying to be silly. They’re playing it totally straight, which makes it funnier.
Me the first few seconds "wow he has such a beautiful voice" me a few seconds later " wait are they meowing like cats" 😹
Am i the only that just needs to listen to this again and again? It’s so weirdly addictive...
I'm with you
I'm afraid your not alone in this weird behaviour

Because the music itself is very good, it’s just the lyrics of course that are the goofy part!
I watch at least twice a year for the last maybe 10 years 😂
Love the lyrics, the meaning inside is so deep.
Catty remarks aside, I agree.

So underrated comment
The light-haired boy looks like he wants to die there and then, while the dark-haired one just tries not to laugh throughout the whole song
@Hapedise Divide19 Oh hi there, fellow Ling Ling wannabe! How come you're not practising?
LOOOOOL
being abused by catholic priest does that to you

You made my day 😅🤣
His little cheeky smile whenever he meows.
Help! Dog only in home.
> *when you’re happy, you enjoy the music. when you’re sad, you understand the lyrics.*
the lyrics:
the brunette sings effortlessly well and his cheeky smiles knowing hes succesfully making the people laugh lmao
By far the best performance of the Cat Duet. I can watch these boys over and over.
The part where they sang 'meoooow meow me me meow' really got me in da heart
hahaha
The meowing of the brunette boy just makes things even more perfect 😂😂
I can't believe how they stayed so serious.. I would be in the back laughinh like an idiot
@@sweet._.little.tragedyWhen you’ve rehearsed it 682 times the effect wears off a bit. 😂
He grew up to sing opera in Paris!

this is just what I was looking for! Thank you :)
Pregnant women let their babies listen to Mozart, women make their pregnant cats listen to this
Best moment ever!
Why not just let their kittens listen to it?
We are literally going to do this song for our spring concert.
5SOS Fan yeah....we are going to too
Yes
Literally?
Same, but for winter
Six years later, their virginity is still intact.

What imposible😅😅
Cat duet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Two most talented lads. A very delightful duet. I listen to this duet every night.
every night? e.e
I loves these 2 boys. amazingly good.😀😉🤗
its hyacinthe de moulins and regis mengus
My cat is wanting to know what they just said about his momma.
That she's a fucking meow. And he heard them the first time.
This is the most fun performance of this work I've ever seen. Very gifted kids!
Such a plaintive melody! It's a pity that they didn't do a studio version of this song. Very talented young boys.
I believe they have. Here is the link below 🙂

Yeah so bummed by that... because I'm listening to this as much as I listen to my other music
I'm not a professional musician, just your regular campfire guitar player, but it's always nice to see professionals doing their work.
Honestly I can listen to this forever. It's hilarious, and I love the backstory to it. Those kids were so talented. It's a good thing that I'm not the one singing it. I'm only watching it and I can't keep a straight face. :D
Whats the backstory?
@@harshitaneog654 I heard it's about two cats on bad term and they are trying to make themselves better than the others
I love how you can see the kid smirking when he says the first meow like he’s trying not to laugh
I remember watching this years back 😂 well I’m back again and their voices are just as angelic as I remember
This is wonderful. Those boys are magnificent.
Glorious fun. I like how they sell the comedy of it:
Just at first you think the boy on the left is playing it straight.
Then the compete a little, tossing it back and forth.
Boy, left, gets the prize for keeping it straight-faced at a critical moment.
Boy on right has the best meow. Or does he? Hard to know which sound
comes from where. . .
I think he legit wanted to die during this which is why he was so serious lol
The boy on the right actually became an opera singer when he grew up.
People: classical music is so boring
Classical music:
I really should be practicing also classical music: Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture

Está es la máxima expresión de la música lírica inconfundible voces maravillosas angelicales un gran saludo al distinguido maestro y sus dirigidos
La mejor interpretación que he escuchado!!!! ¡BRAVÍSIMO!
My cats when they are hungry.
Their voices are AMAZING!!!
Amo esas voces,exelentes. precios niños,ahora de muchachos que bonito seria verlos en un recital.
Quizás ya no suenen igual. Esta imagen es una grabación de los años 90. Ahora ya son hombres
@@tamaranunez4120 como se llaman
Both beautiful boys with beautiful voices and beautiful sounds ,I love cats.
The best duet ever for this song 🐈🐈
So far my favourite version. I played this a lot of times and it doesn't fail to make me laugh 😂😂😂
I'll never get tired of this
lo verdaderamente importante es la voz aducada de los niños una delicia oirles gracias un gran y fraternal abrazo...
I love this! These boys are wonderful!
I have watched this video many times since it was published (maybe ten years ago) and it enchants me every single time.
Un duo des chats très charmant et très expressif.Bravo aux chanteurs
been obsessively compulsively watching this for years. it's a delight and one of the best rendetions of this famous duet piece.
these kids called the entire audience every slur in catanese and we had no clue
I want this played at my funeral.
Gran Rossini, disfruté el dueto, muy bello.
Of all recorded versions of this duo it's definitely the best.
when he said "meeeeoooooooww" i felt that
Amo la versión de estos pequeños. Es la que más me gusta...
This is so good, I'm killing myself with laughter!
This made me so happy. Why hadn't I seen or heard this before? This song is literally from 1825 and it's brilliant.
Me encanta ,no me canso de oírla, estupenda performance
I’m gonna set up 10 speakers in my brothers room, and then play this at full volume in the middle of the night
I first saw a snippet of this clip on IG today. I wanted to find the whole song on here & I’m glad I found the rest of this video! I was missing meowt! Lol! They did a great job! I just realized how long ago this video was taken. I wonder what they’re doing meow. Ok, I’ll stop. 👏🤣😝
By far the very best version, even more so because the boys looks reflect their roles MMMmmmioooowww!
This recording dates back to 1998! It is performed by a group of young French singers: "les Petits chanteurs à la Croix de Bois".
1:16 damn even the babies are laughing

I'm sure the first time I came across this video was at least 10 years ago, and yet, here I am, listening and writing this comment. What a legend.
If that bairn on the left ever takes up poker he's got it made.
Me hubiera gustado una versión en Espanol, mis gatos no entienden lo que dicen
Rofl😂
El dueto de los gatos es bonito y muy comico y me gusta mucho oirlo
The boy in the background on the right disliked this video 61 times.
BEAUTIFUL
BE GRATEFUL FOR SINGING THIS BEFORE IN A SHOW
My cat said, it's about time!
I'm in the weird part of TH-cam again!
Ya killed me at 1:38 boys...
I would be laughing my ears and tail off

Este dueto son los mejores gatitos maullando miiiiiiiiaaaUUUUUUUU

Choir being choir...
UNO REVERSE!
This was performed more than 10 years ago. I wonder what these two virtuosos are up to today? Maybe graduating from a 'duet for two cats' to a 'duel for two football studs' ...LOL!
The record is from 1994, so 16 years ago. The boy on the right is known today as opera singer Regis Mengus: www.regismengus.com/
I wish the names of the boys were provided! They are superb!!
miauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :)
@M. don't you see he's a polish nationalist?
Orales! Que talento
I'd heard somewhere that he wrote this opera because another composer compared his work to cats fighting, but ihavent found anything to back it up with.
Brilliant.
Omg these boys are so good rossini cat duet is awesome I gotta show my friends this they will think its funny and they will love it
Уж очень серьёзно поют... Как им удаётся не улыбаться? Представляю, что творилось на репетициях! )))
Wish the cats in my neighborhood sounded like this.
how they managed not to laugh is beyond me
Who's here on 2020?
I
2024 come back haha
The composer wrote this because some sopranos acted like conceded cats and it made him laugh when they sang it.
They are both great! You gotta have a straight man...they sound great and are infinitely funny.
Cantan hermoso
Andrea, si que es una comedia y los 2 nińos lo saben y juegán con esta musica. Es esto lo fantastico.
Очень позитивно! Благодарю!
