This is why I love The Big Liebowski: of course, for the cast, the script, the dialogue, the jokes... but then the Coens threw in these two musical scenes (the other one being The Dude flying over LA to Bob Dylan's The Man In Me) that are absolutely gratuitous and non-plot-pertinent, just for our sheer visual pleasure!
That last part is where I think you are wrong, at least if you say these scenes are just in there because they look good. No they don‘t directly advance the plot (kind of), but to us the audience they are relevant (especially this one) they are not meaningless at all. These dream sequences are very intentionally a subconscious rehashing of the events/experiences of the actual plot, in other words, exactly what a real dream would do. For a film like TBL, this is important because it is a film that intentionally lacks or defies overt meaning; the medium itself is the message. What you see is (almost) all there is to it, there is no deeper meaning (at least no single coherent theme or idea). In fact, if this movie is about ANYthing at all, it‘s the way individual ideas or phrases get propagated, often incoherently or out of context, reused, repurposed, their original meaning removed or changed. This happens all the time in the film, from George H.W. Bush‘s messaging about Desert Storm to different colloquial words words for „penis“ to Walter‘s inane ramblings. This dream does exactly that, randomly mixing together bowling, Saddam, and the setting of a bad porno; ironically starring Maude and Jeffrey both of whom reject or subvert the stereotypes associated with pornography (but not real-life sex). The only thing all of these things have in common is that they are part of Jeffrey‘s unconscious just now, owing completely to the events of the plot. This dream sequence is literally a short version of what the entire movie does. The entire movie is a set of near-random events experienced by Jeffrey which don‘t really form a cohesive story but are memorized and therefore appropriated by him. The dream is really the only way in which these things actually fit together, which is to say they don‘t.
My mother let me watch this movie with her when I was a child. I don't know what she was thinking or how I didn't get traumatized, but I do know I was laughing like I never had.
this mythical scene i s actually such an amazing homage to Busby Berkley, old Hollywood genius coreographer who created caleidoscops made of leggs of beautiful dancers, so elegant and classy❤
This is the music which plays in your head when you wake up 5am morning after sleeping on the sidewalk in winter day after non-planned bar visit which turned to bar ride 😀
Woke up this morning with the sundown shining in I found my mind in a brown paper bag within I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high I tore my mind on a jagged sky I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in I watched myself crawling out as I was a-crawling in I got up so tight I couldn't unwind I saw so much I broke my mind I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in Someone painted April Fool in big black letters on a Dead End sign I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in Yeah yeah oh-yeah
@@kaninma7237 ☘️ I just can't believe it's the same guy, it doesn't even sound like him. (I'm still waiting for someone to tell me it was a joke & I'm the only one who fell for it) 😌
Some of us women also keep our places in such a state that they look like a stereotypical man might live there. Fuck housework as much as possible. The bare minimum, sure. I want to be healthy, and I don't want rats and mice and roaches. But I will never win a domestic Goddess award! Fuck it.
fuck it lets go bowling

Sorry, i don't roll on shabbos

Fetish movie . Don't ask me how i know friends ?
Man, this song really ties the movie together.
Nice
Fucking A.
Insanely unrated comment.
Are u the dude at 0:56
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 💯
his dance on the stairs is freaking amazing
he saw so much, he broke his mind
Hell yeah, man. That quick bit was perfectly boogied. V.N., you hit it : the iconic Dude Swagger.

@@garrett29west ? the Kenny Rogers song ? whatever. Can there be one f---ing statement made without reference to colour ?
drippy fucking racist

Absolutely props to The Dude himself Jeffery "The Dude" Bridges. He did these scenes and the entire movie so flawlessly.
If you like the Coen brother’s weirder stuff I highly recommend their movie Barton Fink, that whole movie is a trip. Lots of cool visuals
@@drewluedke2030 I saw it in the theater back in the day, I've been a fan since Raising Arizona!

Pretty sure these music videos are to repent The Dude's hallucinations of madness when he was into drugs or knocked unconscious.
RIP Kenny Rogers. What a great track.
Jeff Bridges is just a great actor he's hilarious in this film
The dude going down the stairs, shakin' his ass, dancing to Kenny Roger is and will be always hilarious! 😂
This scene is completely perfect in every way.
RIP Kenny Rogers. This could make a perfect video for this psychedelic rock anthem. We'll miss you, maestro.
“Darkness warshed over the dude- darker’n a black steer’s tuchus on a moonless prairie night.”
My mother let me watch this movie with her when I was a child. I don't know what she was thinking or how I didn't get traumatized, but I do know I was laughing like I never had.
I’ve just seen the big lebowski for the first time, what a film this tune this scene was my favourite
R.I.P. Kenny Rogers. Still my favourite song of his.
What a heckin good song
i could watch this so many tiems and never get tired of this scene!
I'm here because Kenny Rogers is a Psychedelic Rock Legend.
This a great song with which to wake and bake. The Dude abides!
this mythical scene i s actually such an amazing homage to Busby Berkley, old Hollywood genius coreographer who created caleidoscops made of leggs of beautiful dancers, so elegant and classy❤
RIP Kenny Rogers. I loved you and your music in 4th grade and listened to my mom's greatest hits album over and over again
One of the best movies of 90's
This is the music which plays in your head when you wake up 5am morning after sleeping on the sidewalk in winter day after non-planned bar visit which turned to bar ride 😀
sometimes you eat the bar, and well....sometimes the bar eats you!
This is oddly specific, but I’ll take it!
Woke up this morning with the sundown shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawling out as I was a-crawling in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in
Someone painted April Fool in big black letters on a Dead End sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah
yeah
oh-yeah
Man, this scene really ties the movie together.
I’m straight and all but dayum at the Dude’s dancing
i watched this on 5 hits of acid
its even better
*Baffling future historians with **_strikingly_** accurate Hussein doppelganger*
I had just saw this movie. That part is very trippy.
And right after this came “Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women man”

Your out of your element
SHOT DA FUCK UP DONNY!
This better be Hollywood if we ever get back to normal again.
This is just one of the best fell good song/ dream ever 💕
People these days: the Joker is the best stair dancer ever!
People of 90s: bitch please! The Dude is always the best stair dancer!
Same with twerking, but there's old duderino, shakin it like a polaroid picture
1998 kid here: I completely agree with you.
The Dude Abides.
My favourite movie all the times
3/21/2020--- we lost Kenny Rogers today, natural causes at age 81. The Gambler abides.....
RIP Kenny Rogers
フリーのチョキチョキ
何度観ても笑う 笑
I always forget how small the dude appears as he dances into the shot at 00:25 lmao
“What the fuck is this?”
“Obviously you’re not a golfer.”
this scene just makes me smile REALLY big..like a fool and can't stop grinning
Very symbolic video!
Please elaborate...
"Alles was man besitzt, besitzt irgendwann dich"
Written by the late, great Mickey Newberry, he of "Newberry's train songs" that Willie and Waylon told us of.
Hey, that's really cool.
All the dude ever wanted was his rug back
Oh you know,just drive around,and the occasional acid flashback.You ever heard of the Seattle 7?That was me and well uh 6 other guys.
Is this your homework Larry!?
You brought a Pomeranian bowling!
I love how he turns out his toes and does that little tiny man dance at the beginning
This movie will always be my favourite
long live the dude
The Dude hates the fuckin' Eagles, man, but he LOVES Kenny Rogers and The First Edition.
0nly one Dude!
That creep can roll man.
8-year-olds dude
the comment section is split between those talking about Kenny Rogers, making Big Lebowski references, and that one guy who's pointing it out.
👏👏👏👏👏Musical art at its best
Leonidas 680068 my favourite Kenny Rogers song
That's walking life

Really wish this was without the intro ad for an nonexisting website
RIP Kenny
You're out of your element, Donnie
I had no idea this was Kenny Roger’s singing this song my whole life until reading the comments lol
Un pur film.....
JESUS, what symbolism and metaphorical imagery that I never picked up on before.
and yet again FLEA finds himself there again.. curious.. (and to a lesser extent, Aimee Mann)
Ho YEAH SADDAM
The only thing the dude wanted was his rug back.
It really tied the room together.
@@claygreen4723 I'm the walrus.
BRANDED!
The dude walked so joker could run
Heads of the Kings roll...
It make me instan happy
The Dude abides and says RIP Kenny Rogers.
You mix a hell of a Caucasian, Jackie.
MARK IT ZERO!
“It jis’ don’t gitt no better!”
Woh yeah.
RIP Kenny!
I had a certain guess this song would be in this film.
☘️ I can't believe this is Kenny Rogers singing.!
Is it the same KRogers, the country & western guy.? 🤔
Yeah, he later met up with a gambler and Lucille. He was also the coward of the county. This, though, is my favorite song he did.
@@kaninma7237 ☘️ I just can't believe it's the same guy, it doesn't even sound like him. (I'm still waiting for someone to tell me it was a joke & I'm the only one who fell for it) 😌
@@stellamaris5405 Yup, that's Kenny Rogers all right! Back in the '60's before he really got into country western, I believe
Einfach witzig Simon ist liebe
Quién en 2022?
Bowling peaked here
Just saw my life in best possible TROLL 😃🤣😃
Your Chonson Lebowski!
The 90’s movie
Nice gams, ladies!
The dude invented twerking ..
Far out
Is this really Kenny Rogers? i know it's his song but the voice doesn't sound the same
Glen Campbell on Electric Guitar
Me and you
Does this place look like I'm f*****g married man?
