- lyrics here....
Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours
Why do the neighbors gossip all day behind their doors
I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue
Here is the gist A practical list of "don'ts" fer you
Don't throw bouquets at me Don't please my folks to much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much People will say we're in love
Who laugh at your jokes
Don't sigh and gaze at me Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine People will say we're in love
Don't start collecting things Like what
Give me my rose and my glove
Sweetheart they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love
Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I
Why do you take the trouble to bake my fav'rite pie
Grantin' your wish I carved our initials on that tree
Just keep a slice of all the advice you give so free
Don't praise my charm too much Don't look so vain with me
Don't stand in the rain with me People will say we're in love
Don't take my arm to much Don't keep your hand in mine
Your hand feels so grand in mine People will say we're in love
Don't dance all night with me 'till the stars fade from above
They'll see it's alright with me People will say we're in love
My guilty secret. This old, tough sailor loves this... but don't tell anyone!!
You're a doll!! 💕
I love your name!
I’ll keep your secret if you’ll keep mine. 😂
- Another sucker for classic musicals.
I would never admit that being a tough rugged man loves his wife. That would be horrible! What would people start saying about me if I sang love songs to my wife while slow dancing in the kitchen while she makes us diner!
❤
I love this musical so much, I just wish more young people knew about all these amazing musicals from the past! I'm so glad I was brought up with musicals like this :)
I love Broadway Musicals! :D I'm thirteen.
I also loved Broadway musicals when I was 13- I've loved them all my life. Oklahoma! is one of my favourites.
Huge theater/broadway fan here. I got started on this and The Sound of Music. Musicals are the best thing ever
I’m a millennial who’s a fan of the classics almost as I am of modern works
I love Gordon Macrae!!!!😍😍😍
I put ear buds on and had an out of body experience listening to this - unbelievable. More please!
Journeyman I know I did the same and it was a mind blowing experience, however I try not to use earbuds or headphones as I don't want to lose my hearing as I could listen for hours!!!
gossamerwings Yes, hard not to pay attention to Rodgers and Hammerstein. (Seems like they didn't make enough of it IMO).
This a time when love was king and people were not so obsessed with sex And this is what is wrong today.
R&H's other similar song is "If I Loved You" from Carousel. Also a classic.
So many times I wish I had a girl to sing this to.
What beautiful people.
i'm such such a hopeless romantic ☺️
I class that as a virtue, stick to your ideals, proper romance will always live on as long as there are people around who have your take on romance.
This is a wonderful song.
I can't count how many times my partner and I have sung this to each other, walking home from a circuit party or night clubbing, at 5 or 6 am. The lyrics are so uncanny in their fit for us, esp. the last two lines, after a long night of dancing and fun. We've been together 23 years now, so I guess that shows how powerful and meaningful this song can be...
I love this musical! So Much!
My parents took me to all the Rogers and Hammerstein movies of the era and others like them. I grew up thinking that life and loves were supposed to be this way. Life does not have movie endings. Only versions of them. Girls of the 70s did not appreciate being serenaded to "On The Street Where You Live" and the like.
It's obvious that Laurey and Curly are in love with each other, but they won't admit it! (Jones and Macrae sing this song superbly.)
@horses0265 I'm not a child of the 90's but I like older movies and broadway shows better than the TV shows of today. You guys are so lucky to have been born in a time of glory movies. Wish I was...
Shirley Jones sure had a high voice!
Hugh Jackman did a wonderful job as Curly in the London production of Oklahoma back in the 90s.
i really like this one my dad is from oklahoma and his mother is a full blooded cheokee
The song and scene that made the film.Shirley was lovely then ; I just wish I hadn’t read her unsavoury auto-biography.
Jones and MacRae were so talented. Too bad musicals were on their way out shortly after Jones and MacRae made this.
Well, she got to make Carousel with him after this, and Music Man too. So they weren’t quite out of style just yet.
''Who laughs at your jokes?'' Haha, a real couple teasing eachother :)
VioletWillowTree Best part.
Bruh they’re not a couple. Smh. People really love to gossip behind closed doors these days. They even link his name to hers.
@@Error-4O4 Luckily, she knows a way to prove what they say is quite untrue.
Gordon MacCrae had the single most beautiful voice I have ever heard. It still puts me away every time. Thank God for this and for Carousel, people will thrill to this forever.
What a beautiful duet between 2 of the very Best voices!
The simple truth@@JimsJims-ot6ol
@anotheryou. I totally agree and feel the same. Gordon was a beautiful singer.
It is still thrilling and will remain so. Loved him for years and Shirley wonderful
too.❤️🙏
Those were the days ...when Hollywood had talent and class.
I had completely forgotten how superb they both were.
My girlfriend and I kept our relationship a secret for awhile when we first got together, it was a constant struggle not to be all cutesy and people constantly commented on how we looked at each other. I heard this on the radio and showed it to her, and we laughed at how accurate it was at every line, decided this was our song, and now we quote it whenever we gotta say goodbye.
Oh, that is so sweet!
God I see what you’ve done for others
What beautiful beautiful voices, always thought Gordon MacRae was the best of 'musical' voices
Oscar Hammerstein said, you can't have characters sing "I love you" in the first act of a musical because the audience isn't ready to hear that yet. So they have to approach it indirectly, like People WILL SAY we're in love, or IF I loved you, or We could make believe I loved you.
Cogent point.
So many of Rogers and Hammerstein's scores share this shy love
Three of my all time favorite songs! People Will Say being my number 1.
How true, what you have to say about Hammerstein’s ‘conditional’ songs. I guess they also empower the audience by allowing / encouraging us to know what the characters seem unwilling to acknowledge.
That is very True!!!💯
I think Shirley was only 18 when she made this film. What maturity, beauty and such a voice. Gordon MacRae has one of the best voices ever - so glorious, warm and impressive! And what a handsome man. Beautiful couple!
I think Shirley was 21 and Gordon was 34 (if my math is correct) A bit of an age difference for sure.
Apparently she even admitted in an interview back in the day that she had a bit of a crush on him, lol... then they got matched again in Carousel! So those looks on her face of admiration & day dreaming are definitely genuine, lol. So cute! Imagine having a crush on a fellow actor, then you're placed in a movie opposite of him that has a love story involved between you two... I really can't think of anything more romantic, than being able to sing with someone that you're in your feels about, even as a crush!
This is probably one of the most beautiful love song duets ever written. Just absolutely perfect.
'Amen'-- AGREED. I keep going back to it...'Ridiculous.'
You think?
It still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Fantastic.
It IS the most beautiful love duet.
"Till there was you" was not too shabby 😊
Gordon is Godfather to Shirley's son. They remained life long friends.
Which son?
@@mariekazyak5233 Shaun.
They had great chemistry. I think in real life they were in love.
@@acegikm Shirley Jones said that when she first came to Hollywood he was just about the only man who didn't make a pass or come on to her. Cementing their friendship for many years to come. Cute story- Richard Rodgers did try to get fresh. She deflected him by saying 'Why Mr. Rodgers, you're just like my father'!
He really had a beautiful voice!
The Queen's favorite song, that she played constantly in anticipation of her engagement to Phillip. RIP
My parents’ as well
Who told you that that was he Queen's favorite song, that she played constantly in anticipation of her engagement to Phillip," and why do you believe them?
They do not make films this beautiful anymore...
Unfortunately for us all.
I maybe a 1993 baby but I wish I lived in the 50’s sometimes
Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones together, two beautiful people with fabulous voices, perfectly matched. This stands right up there alonside Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh as one of the most perfect on screen couples. I am old now, but I saw this film way back when it first came out and it STILL brings a tear to my eyes.
*sigh* I melt when Gordon MacRae sings. Imagine him singing to you like this? How could not fall in love?
My hubby sings like this. One reason I married him. He also sang to my picky mother and that won her over
Miss Dee ? You're so Romantic 😘
How right you are! What a voice!
And on the Guy side, I got bad for Shirley Jones, beautiful cutie and she sings like a Bird!
:)
Shirley Jones is my girlfriend so back off!
My favorite part: when Curly sings "Don't take my arm to much Don't keep your hand in mine" and she tries to pull her hand away and he won't let go, and I don't think his voice could be any more beautiful but then he sings "Your hand feels so grand in mine". So perfectly sublime. His voice and the way he looks at her hand is enough to make any heart melt. This song never gets old for me. No one will ever sing this like Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones.
Thank you for pointing this out. It is swoon worthy!
Absolutely!
You need to hear Nelson Eddy sing it to Jeanette McDonald
O&H WERE GENIUS!
Curly, curly, curly, you’re in love with …
We were privileged to live in this era.
People will love this when watching it in 100 years - shame TH-cam wasn’t around for Mozart!
Shirley Jones starred in arguably in 3 of top 10 Broadway musicals of all time. Sadly many know her mainly from The Partridge Family.
It's just the passing of time but I imagine you mean Oklahoma! Carousel and The Music Man. Some of us still remember and I'd never argue with you over those three movies. Shirley had such a beautiful voice and as for Gordon MacRae, I think he was Hollywood's finest male actor/singer ever, but rock n' roll and TV killed all their movie careers. Such a shame as Shirley and Gordon had just hit their stride, but we still have these classic films thank goodness.
Arkle Sparkle "But we still have these classic films" that no one can take away from us.
Sadly, indeed,
Amen to that, how such talent managed to get lost.
She had an exceptionally beautiful voice. Never forced or exaggerated. A model for modern popular singers? A pious hope.
I grew up on musicals like this. Oklahoma is actually one of my all time favorites. I was actually in Oklahoma in my freshman year of high school for a community theater. When I was in elementary school, all the girls were like I want Justin Bieber, I want Justin Timberlake and I was like give me Gordon MacRae and Gene Kelly.
Don`t EVER change, girl. There is NO substitute for good taste
Great casting - great music - lousy musical.
"actually"
👍👍
There are men...
And then there are MEN...
Gordon MacRae -- those looks, that charm, that VOICE -- what a gorgeous hunk of guy. This was an all around wonderful movie but he was the heart of it all.
I had a fella that looked just like him..a long time ago....
Apparently Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip had this as "their" song when they first met and fell in love. They were trying to hide it from the press.
Remember, though, she was still HRH The Princess Elizabeth (the article takes a capital 'C' as she was a blood royal princess, the daughter of the Soveriegn).
It's true from what I've been reading. Phillip one time even put on western style clothing, it might have been on a visit to rural Canada but I could be wrong.
I’m really not a musical person but ugh I love this scene and song. Macrae seems perfectly cast for this role
You say u r not, but we know da troof!
Shirley Jones a natural beauty with a beautiful voice and Gordon is irresistible!!
Gosh she was.
Two iconic musical voices at the peak of their powers. There will never be an equal!
Gordon McRae + Shirley Jones! "People will say we're in love", here, is one of the most beautiful songs ever! Gordon has a wonderful voice and Shirley in this video was young, amazingly beautiful, and had an incredible voice. This is an all-time classic video!
TheMusicguy68 She was exquisitely,perfectly beautiful!
@@940hahl lt is gorgeous l have sent it to a friend who is in LOVE.
Truth. Remakes don't even come close. EVER. Her high voice, ans his low tenor. Just perfect.
Sadly Gordon died early but Shirley is still very much with us.
Show music like theirs was so popular in my childhood years. It remains in my heart to this day and always will.
@@christophernicholls5679 It remains in my heart too Christopher. I saw this when the film was first released. I am an 85 year old guy now, but I am not ashamed to admit that I STILL get a tear in my eye when playing this clip.
I've always been known as the weirdo in our office for preferring this kind of movie genre and music over modern ones. This is so good I don't get why they think this is weird.
you've got the good taste.
Same
When others criticize your taste it reveals their insecurity; they want you to like what they like. As common as it is, I still don't understand it. Why should anyone care, unless they want to make money from you, what you like or don't like?
are you sure it was because of your choice of music? :)) (kidding).. I am right there with you.. and am right now listening to the 5th rendition of this (and other R&H songs) :)
I would proudly be the weirdest! Gorgeous music from a wonderful era for art and love.
58 years later this still glows. It's an American masterpiece. What great voices they had then. Thanks for posting.
There are stars who have great voices today too.....The problem is we don`t have songwriters who can write lyrics which make sense , or who have such a limited vocabulary that if they can`t find a rhyming word they put in "Oohs and Ahs" to fill up the space.
the problem is tbat belting has replaced legitimate singing
"Don't stand in the rain with me..." What a lyric! A complete surprise and yet PERFECT!
I know, right?
And for me the best part is the fact that, unlike todays "Songs" you can hear and understand every word that they sing. I am almost 90 years of age, and some of the songs??? that I hear today, make me almost glad that I am going deaf
Great chemistry. Love their singing. Shirley has such a beautiful voice. This is one of my favorite songs in the movie.
Could anything be more beautiful than these two lovely singers
and this song. I am dedicating to the memory of Queen Elizabeth
who died yesterday. We know she loved it.
Proof of shipping since the 50's
This musical was originally made in the late 30's or early to mid 40's ,so before that.
*Oklahoma!* was based on the play *Green Grow the Lilacs,* which premiered on Broadway in 1931. The retitled musical adaptation followed in 1943. The movie version in 1955.
"Shipping"?
Life is funny. "Crush" has been used for more than 100 years. "Stuck on" was apparently used for hundreds of years before that. "Shipping" is new.
'Shipping' doesn't mean 'crush' nor 'stuck on.' It's derived from 'relationship' and refers to the act of wanting certain people (real or fictional) to be together romantically.
To think that music like this was once common in the average household. I'm glad my parents belonged to that generation as show tunes like this were commonly played in our home. Didn't think much of it at the time, but really feel it now.
How does Gordon McRae manage to have such a warm, rich sound with perfect legatto and yet slouch like that? He's hardly ever standing up straight! What a voice!
All these outdoor
scenes were dubbed in later
in recording chambers in studios, to avoid
extraneous noises
and to achieve overall HQ audio.
They record in s studio and lip sync on set. Better sound quality
Thanks for maybe ruining it for me. Now I cant unsee it! Lol
@@wyomingresident6121 I kinda thought the same thing... but then it doesn't seem so perfect.
Actually they used to still sing on set so that their breath marks would line up, so he was probably singing the same way in the studio :)
Gordon MacRae is unbelievably attractive in this movie. Reminds me of my college boyfriend. Shirley Jones has always been a favorite of mine as well. LOVE these two together! ❤️❤️❤️
Her voice was pitch perfect ❤
Oh what a beautiful voice MacRae had! Goosebumps! Jones' was certainly good, too, but his voice was beyond good.
I'm 32 with a bit of life/love experience in my belt. This song made me grin from ear to ear. Then I cried buckets. I hope I can still find a love as pure as this.
If you are still with us, you are over 40 now. I pray you found your love. 💘
Love your comment 😊
I don't exactly know why, but whenever I see Shirley Jones in something, I just instantly smile. Beautiful lady, beautiful voice, beautiful presence :)
Cuz she is Mom Partridge
8 September 2022 Elizabeth II died today I knew it was her favorite piece so I wanted to stop by here it's very sad that no one is left
Gordon Macrae and Shirley are the perfect partnership. They are both stunning to watch and Gordon's strong baritone voice and Shirley's light soprano sound wonderful together. It's no wonder it helped a beautiful young princess fall in live with her handsome princess:)
Enchantingly sung by two beautiful and talented people.
No one can match Gordon MacRae
in his prime, when it comes to his version of Curly.
Impressive that this movie was Shirley Jones’ first film that she acted in
Such a lovely song, so beautifully done; their body language + facial expressions makes it delightfully romantic + heartwarming!!
Movie Mary popping
Marcia we share the same soul...
Yes!
,

To be honest, when I first watched this movie, I found it kind of annoying how Laurey pretends not to be in love with Curly, when anyone who's seen them together for ten seconds can see she is crazy about him, especially in "Surrey With The Fringe On Top". But I got used to it. And I like how Curly shows her in this song- "Just keep a slice of all the advice you give so free"
In those days when couples were 'coy' ha ha....Now there is fast food!!! (Which I don't like.) 5.2020.
I cry happy tears every time I hear this song..it’s so beautiful 😍
Nice comment, Hon
I am reduced to a teary old man too, when I see this clip. I am almost 90 years of age, but I STILL feel young when I watch this
I have only seen this film 50 million times since I was 16. I know every tune, every word. Do I ever get sick of it? No? It's like brand new each time. I fell in love with Gordon for life. Shirley was the prettiest woman I had ever seen.
The first movie musical my mom took me to see. I was 7 and I loved it, and I still do
You too? A lifelong love for as you say "the prettiest woman I had ever seen."
This is so much more romantic than the cheap disgusting things in movies today.
too true.
Wow that’s the truth...
These old movies just had infatuation. Two young people fall in “love” because of physical attraction after barely knowing each other. That’s not very romantic.
If a new film version of OKLAHOMA! were ever made, Jackie Evancho would be a great choice for Laurey, at least vocally.
@@headphonic8 no they were in love, but just fighting it
Voices of angels. Gordon McRae was sooo handsome & talented!!
God how i miss these wonderful musicals.. I'm trying to figure out a way to share all these tunes with my Mom in her nursing home. I have to find a way to bring her this music to cheer her daily.
Richard Rogers said that it was easier for him to write a song than to tie his shoes. This song is pure rapture. The lyrics are equally marvelous.. At age 65 in 2013, I listen sadly to this music as if it is a museum piece reflecting a world of rapture and romance that no longer exists. The new generation does not even begin to know what they are missing. This song says everything worth saying about life and if we would accept it as reality greater than the one we live in, we would be joyful
Johannes Brahms
once said that tunes came to him while he was
brushing shoes.
Rest assured my friend, the love still exists, it's just harder to find buried in all the superficial, and yet all the more beautiful because of it's resilience.
New goal as a 17 year old FIND A WAY TO MAKE THESE TYPES OF MOVIES AGAIN. They are so amazing and beautiful and show such an amazing reflection of what love could be like. I just want you to know there are still some of us kids in love with these movies. And you better bet that all my kids are seeing these movies too.
Some of us do know what we’re missing, I would literally cry tears of joy if they made these movies now
well also….this is so gorgeous compared to all the belting that happens now
Shirley Jones....absolutely gorgeous.
You got that right.
Exquisite
Ginger or Mary Ann? ... Mrs. Brady or Mrs. Partridge?
That’s for sure. I married her lookalike in 1977. 23 years old, hair of gold, blue eyes. Lost her to breast cancer in 2007. Am still devastated. Watching Shirley Jones brings back her memory, comforts me. Oklahoma does the same thing.
940hahl, Bless you forever. I hope this and so many other things can bring a bit of happiness and joy to you.
Surely a duet worth cherishing forever. Gordon and Shirley are marvelous! Thanks for sharing!
Gordon Mc.--most handsome man out of Hollywood. What a dream boat.
Jud snuck in and voted 66 times
+martel732 That is the best comment I have seen in a while haha
+martel732 Come on, Poor Jud is, is...
fine woman those eyes are so nice
Good for you Martel, classic quality is immortal! :)
@@Journeyman-Fixit Dead
This is the best version of this many-covered song, from the best version of Oklahoma! The beauty of Shirley's well-trained coloratura soprano shines throughout and Gordon's strong baritone is a perfect complement, as it proved to be with many talented partners, from the relatively brittle voice of Doris Day to the perfect pitch of Jo Stafford.
I love these two singing together. They sound incredible.
So funny Curly's aside of "who laughs at your jokes? "😂
wish they still made movies like this, or My Fair Lady, Music Man, etc.
So do I. I give thanks I lived in an era where such films were made. West Side Story, Camelot, Oklahoma, South Pacific, Carousel, My Fair Lady, Brigadoon. What have we got now that could even hold a candle to that type of music or talent?
Brian Howarth lol f u this is trash compared to 21 jumpstreet or Pineapple express
@@idra8138 How would you know? Like undeveloped film , you have never been exposed to real talent.
Brian Howarth nah bruh if you listen to this garbo you def like putting shit up your ass. This was back when everyones iq was below 70 and when they thought the atom was the smallest object in the universe.
Agreed - I still rate a musical on the number of songs that I can sing, from memory, on my journey home from theatre.
I often have to look up something, when I re-hear it.
One exception - ALW has some pretty I indelible hooks.
One of the grand love songs of all time!
This was the first film musical I saw. My mom took me to see this when I was 7, that was 66 years ago, and l still love it now, it's the greatest musical in the history of everything! Thanks Mom!
The 50's had really beautiful women
Makes your soul sing. People will eventually be thirsty again for great art like this. What a gift.
Gordon is buried in Lincoln, NE. His cemetery stone had the music from "Oh What A Beautiful Morning".
"don't take my arm too much,
don't keep your hand in mine,
your hand feels so grand in mine,
people will say we're in love."
-thanks for posting the lyrics! i love the part when he says "don't keep your hand in mine" and she tries to pull it away but he doesn't let her. i love this movie!
Song lyrics said so much more, had more meaning in these old songs & films. We are not as poetic or expressive today.
Brilliant musical from the two best ever musical writers Rodgers and Hammerstein. Unsurpassed.
It's True. Her Majesty loved this song from film Oklahoma!
Aren't Shirley and Gordon great? Just classic music well done!
This is Shirley Jones debut film. She's now 83.
I wish I was Curly and my wife was Laurey and we were in Oklahoma 150 years ago. this was the first movie I seen in 1959 that was in color. when i was in first grade in the school auditorium in the Bronx. and ever since then almost every day of my life i sing ''oh what a beautiful morning''
I'm not sure if she would like to be in oklahoma 150 years ago
You might want to rethink that. Lol. No dental floss or antibiotics.
DivineSimply
also being treated like shit
I was referring to the love, romance and passion between them. Those days were a lot more peaceful than our complicated and crazy world. From childhood all men have to be taught to respect all women, as my mother did with myself. I work 7 days a week. When I get home, I mop. sweep, do the dish's, take out the trash and do my laundry. I help my wife a lot. My mother taught me that not all women are alike. So please don't think all men are alike.
Edward Guzman
noone said that... still, I wouldn't have wanted to be born 150 years ago... I like to wear pants
also the romance and passion was the same... how could that change? people are just more open if they don't like something... people don't have to stay married if they don't want to and maybe less people might care what the neighbors are thinking
there would be no difference between 150 years ago and today, except that your wife would have not as many rights and now there's computers and stuff
Two beautiful young people at the height of their powers. A match made in heaven. It will never be equalled:)
With you all the way on that.
Philip Thomas
TH-cam is wonderful Philip because you have access to all this wonderful music. Good morning:)
I completely agree.
Yes a great duet, but also Sky Masterson and Sister Sarah in "Your eyes are the Eyes of a Woman in Love" from Guys and Dolls.
I should have been Shirley Jones' husband. I don't know what went wrong. I was born way too late.
I know the feeling mate, I was born far too early.
Y’all are so right I wish I wouldn’t be judged if I dressed and sung and acted and you know, EVERYTHING she does. She’s perfect. I’m not lesbian, just mega mega jealous. But Gordon tho 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Reportedly the favorite song of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh! I read it somewhere--on more than one occasion.
Doğru bugün öldü ben önceden de biliyordum üzücü
If Gordon mccrea was singing to me like that...dont think I'd be playing so hard to get 😋
I love how they say "don't do this and don't do that" as they're doing them
The Tug of love.
This is my favorite film, probably of all time! Gordon MacRae was, and still is one of the best singers we've ever heard. I can't believe that lots of people from my generation haven't even heard of Gordon MacRae, or even this film! Yet they will happily watch the crap we have to endure, eg high school musical, hannah montana etc. THIS is what you call a musical! :)
Gordon McRae had a great voice!
Nooooo don't go to the dance with Jud, he's a knuckle-dragging oaf! You want to have good-looking sons, don't you? You can name them David and Shaun.
This was my grandparents love song, they had wonderful taste.
"They'll see it's alright with me!" Awwwwwww
Mr. MacRae had it all...the look & that magnificent, deep, rich voice. I’m so happy we can enjoy his performances again & again right here!
Beautiful times and beautiful pleasures.
I agree
Love her hair. ;) ♥
Everything about her was so natural. One of Hollywood's pure
beautys!
all they are doing is saying exactly what they want the other to do!!!!! PERFECT:)
Our Queen and Prince Philip's "Our Song" R.I.P. to both of them, may they dance to it forever XXX
