I saw this duo at their final Broadway performance in Kate. Not only did they stop the show, but the show was stopped for them - - it was announced it was their last performance, and they came out for bows - - a very special Broadway moment for me.
Herrlich, herrlich, danke für's einstellen ins Netz. Das ist das Hollywood welches ich liebe. Wortwitz, Augenzwinkern, geniale Musik und Darsteller* innen. 😃
My high school did this and the prez of our program and our BFF were these guys. They were so funny. They walked off the stage 3times in this song and came ba k with a diff thing. It was a white hat then a tophat and a cane. It was priceless.
My london primary school forced this song on my class in 1996 or something when they got some visitors to come and teach it to us... don't know who, don't know why. 17 years later the song is still in my head and I didn't know where it was from until now.
This song actually got me to read a few Shakespeare plays I hadn't really heard of. Perfect Theatre song. Like Fugue of the Tinhorn(I hope I didn't butcher that)
When .I can’t think of “Fugue for Tinhorns” I just identify the song as “I Got The Horse Right Here”. If you get kind of close everyone knows which song you’re talking about. I love that set up for Nathan’s ‘three guys’. 😊
@@cards0486 wow. I didn't realize it read that way. I was just saying I didn't know if I had spelled Fugue properly. That was all. It's in my top 10 favorites of all time. (I think, never made a list). What I always found super impressive is, high schools all over do this show and alot of the time the thespians involved are not ur typical "theatre geeks" and yet usually with practice and fair voices they still pull it off. I saw a female version once that was excellent as well.
I am not sure if these are the exact same guys from the Reivival, but I believe this was taken from a production that was on PBS and is available on DVD. It is excellent. Another thing about this number, it proves beyond doubt that Cole Porter was a master of the clever lyric.
I saw this in London in '02 and I specifically remember these guys, they stole the show. I don't know if they played Broadway as well (as the title suggests) but I know for sure they were in London.
@WWFdxNWOrules5555 Funny, I just auditioned for this show and was offered the role of The General (which I turned down.) They counter-offered with Gangster #2, which I happily accepted.

my god our guys made these guys look like a joke and there in highschool ill have avidio of them up soon you should check it out ill probably have it up by friday (hopfully)
wow, I was in this in college and I had no idea how much the director and choreographer just ripped this off from this production. good thing though, I dont think I could have handled anything more complicated.
It appears to me that both are rather unprofessional in their own special way, and both quite snobbish. It seems that there is something about the internet that makes people think they can display this sort of elitist, and douchey, behavior.

I never get enough of this. These guys are great. The lyrics are so incredibly clever I giggle all the way through
I saw the original production, in 1948, It was great,,,,,and still is; What a joy,
Woahhh how old are you ??

Cole Porter, you were a genius
The song is actually quite savagely satirical. I have accompanied it many times!!
This is lyrical genius
haha I'm a 5'2 girl and I'm playing the 2nd mobster in the school play. That was the role I wanted more than any of the others! I'm so excited! XD
awesome clip, the best song in the show
this was filmed in 1999 and in the south london theatre. it was west end.

If you can't get the original, well, this is brilliant. A keeper.
I'm actually playing a role of the gangster and the rehearsals have been soooooo funny =D
i love this song
I love that song.
me and my brother performed this for a broadway musical this past friday. it was a lot of fun.
Saw the play two night, my favorite part :)
I am not sure if these are the exact same guys from the Reivival, but I believe this was taken from a production that was on PBS and is available on DVD. It is excellent. Another thing about this number, it proves beyond doubt that Cole Porter was a master of the clever lyric.
Wonderful!
I used this phrase while watching Jeopardy, just out of the blue, and I had to look up the song :P
I picture Abbott and Costello singing this!
Good? This performance is Too Darn Hot!
Very cool duo, timeless!
love it. my high school is doing kiss me kate this spring and im hoping to land a role as either one of these guys or paul
Man, this was so much fun to do performing. Good thing I was cast for Gangster #2 instead of the general. >.
Performing this with a friend for camp! It's so much fun!
i watched that one too :DD
they did so good in that one XDD
Drop Trou!
I saw this in London in '02 and I specifically remember these guys, they stole the show. I don't know if they played Broadway as well (as the title suggests) but I know for sure they were in London.
the gangsters are my favorite characters......theyre sooooo cute!!!
They are good, but no one beats Keenan Wynn and James Whitmore from the movie....the singing AND dancing!
tooslimnc:
But not the extended and still ingenious lyrics!
This is brilliant
i'm doing this song as a skit with my friend in the fall too haha

Wonderful number!! Wow. This is part of a recording of a live performance, right? Is there the whole thing, or only some parts? I'd love to watch it.
hahaha! :) I liked it and still like it very much!
Amen
So funny!
We hada woman play one of the mobsters in the show i stage managed a few years back. It worked well.
@sspdirect02 The moustachioed fellow does quite resemble Bud Abbott, now doesn't he?
this from 1999 london revival
Now, children....get along, or you can't play here. Dr. G.
same here
My school is doing this as well.
We had to cut scene 2 though for a reason I'm unaware of.
My favourite numbers are:
"Wunderbar"
"So In Love"**
"Tom, Dick or Harry"**
"I Hate Men"**
he's better than two actors in broadway? okay, if you say so.
my god our guys made these guys look like a joke and there in highschool ill have avidio of them up soon you should check it out ill probably have it up by friday (hopfully)
Not within hailing distance of the movie with Keenan Wynn
But that version saw the lyrics cleaned up. However the dancing in the Hollywood version is unsurpassed..
wow, I was in this in college and I had no idea how much the director and choreographer just ripped this off from this production. good thing though, I dont think I could have handled anything more complicated.
Is that Al Molinaro on stage left?
Lol, coriolanus...
I'm so immature...
I mean, so was Cole for writing it XD He knew dang well what he was doing.
GOSTO MAIS DOS GANGSTERS BRASILEIROS : A atriz FAFY SIQUEIRA e o ator EDGAR BUSTAMANTE
its in illinois
do you go to Acalanes?
haha, never mind... Already got my answer.
Do the two gangsters join the show?
15 people who dislike rox
And you're missing the point entirely.
The older gangster isn't even singing most of the time. It's distracting to me. I love this song, though.
