Danny Kaye always makes me smile... his singing and acting are simply wonderful... Love it, the tune is now well and truly stuck in my 'bonce', and still making me smile...58's Danny R.I.P. :0)x
It's such a fine day for the townspeople to have great fun and to sing along with the English school teacher Mr Andrew Larabee (played by the ever-sprightly Danny Kaye) who was in the pleasant mood while riding in his bicycle.This was one of the most-memorable and very-entertaining musical numbers in 1958 MGM's Merry Andrew. Indeed the versatility,spontaneity,and credibility of Danny Kaye in his hilarious and musical scenes were/will always be momentous,unparalleled,and tickety-boo.
I think I have been in madly love with Danny for years. He died when I was just a few months old, but I've heard his voice more then any other mans. He is there when I need him, makes me laugh when I'm sad, and his smile is the most adorable thing. I saw an old record of his in a antique shop once, and I fainted, lol! I'm 26. ^_^
How can no one love a man like that? I'm fifteen years old, and I love Danny Kaye. Old movies in general, but especially his. My seventeen year old sister hates him. An dold movies in general, but especially Danny Kaye. My question is, "Why? Why hate someone like that?" Respond if you agree with me.
Yes, must be a pretty stagnant soul to to hate this, seventeen or not.. I can see not liking it, but hating this (onscreen at least...) undoubtedly weirdly happy and odd force of nature?
I didn't care for stuff like that or many old movies at 17 but I love them now. Oh . . . You Tube says your comment was (7 years ago) so you must be about 22 now. You still dig old movies ?
@@YManCyberDude I absolutely do. My husband thinks most of them are hokey, but he'll watch some with me time and again. 😊 I really like the old westerns, from the '40s and '50s.
I know you wrote this years ago, but ... I "fell in love" with Danny Kaye when I was about 7 years old, when his movie 'Hans Christian Andersen' was broadcast on TV (1966?). I begged for, and got the soundtrack album, and played it endlessly. Have you seen the film? I haven't seen it in decades, but I still remember DK's songs with the children well! I went on to have a crush on several other movie actors, including Clark Gable, when I read the novel GWTW and then saw the film ... in those days (1975?) old movies sometimes were shown in theatres in a limited run. Shortly before VHS was available. BTW, I was 16 when I crushed on Gable; he had died at the age of 59 in 1960, when I was still a baby. So many great old films! I recommend the Thin Man series, starring Myrna Loy and William Powell. Typical convo: "Let's go solve this crime, darling!" "Well, but I haven't finished my cocktail yet, dear. It'll have to wait a few more minutes."
Fun fact : The French-Canadian slang ''Tigidou'', pronounced ''tee-gee-doo'' most likely comes from the term ''Tickety-Boo''. Tigidou simply meaning that ''It's all good''.
Interesting it is thought by some the expression "tickety boo" may have likely come from the Hindi expression "teekey babu" meaning "everything is all right sir"
I've been looking for this song for ages! The B side was "The square of the hypotomuse of the right triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the two adjacent sides" Only Danny Kaye could have sung that and made it good! I would like to see this film!
I'm in love with this man! Even though I wasn't born till over 5 years after his death, he still makes me laugh when I'm pissed I agree with koeshy86! And I'm only 15!
A few years ago I watched the British TV show "Luther" on Netflix and he commented "Everything is tickety-boo. Totally disco." At the time I did not know that it was a song from the 1958 movie "Merry Andrew" starring Danny Kaye.
@joeknee4767 ... Your comment made me chuckle... 'mate indeed' ... I am a silver haired Grandmother actually but I suppose if I was in Australia I may well get call mate or Sheila... Well which ever one it may be, I shall still be singing along with Danny.. Everything is tickety-boo indeed... *silly grin* Regards from Wales :0)x
Same here! Its so weird to think I only shared the earth with him for a matter of months. People keep talking about Channing Tatum, Justin Beiber and 1 Direction. My Celebrity dream man is Danny. Always will be. Oh, and Liam Neeson is a close second, God bless the Irish! XD
I have looked a LOOOONG time for this number. Thanks evah so! By the way, the scene from 0.05 to 0.47 is reputed to be the longest single take of any scene in any movie .... not one cut!
Oh, I have just realized they are all riding on the 'wrong side of the day', it must have been filmed in America... and a car passed him on the left, very strange indeed... The fences aren't as 'posh' and the roads in UK don't look like that either...lol BUT I still love this, and yes I am still singing along, Danny is a smile maker... :0)x
That's the Waterloo Bridge that Danny rides over which appears in many films. It was part of the MGM backlot which was considered the finest movie studio backlot there ever was.
@aksa8c yes, that is a little earlier in the movie. His pant leg gets caught in the chain as he's pedaling to class and he end up in a wheelie. Kaye was so brilliant at physical humor.
I do have a question though - In what scenario does an American born actor, singer, appear clearly in the states on US roads, presenting a British accent while cycling past a British double-decker red London bus? As an ex-pat living in the US, I'm now quite confused.
Funny thing is it was on accident, I was trying to search a name up that I heard in a daithi de nogla video, somehow it brought me here. How about you?
@wenglishsal .. APOLOGIESE from my absimal spelling, must be tired I guess, so I shall watch Danny Kaye one more time and then off to bed with a HUGE grin on my face.. hee hee :0)x
Aha! The "bicycle" sequence at the end of this number would seem to be the "inspiration" for a similar sequence in "The Sound of Music"'s DO RE MI number. Couldn't Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood be more original?
I've been searching for an mp3 of this song for years. If anyone knows where I could get it, please post the info here. I'd pay a fair price for the file if it's a clean recording from the soundtrack.
I bought this album on Amazon a few years ago. This track is on the album. It's cheap to buy it used, and Amazon is fairly reliable about that sort of thing. www.amazon.com/Merry-Andrew-Original-Soundtrack-Chaplin/dp/B000FUF6W2
OSHA woulda never allowed them to ride bikes like that! In & outta traffic, racing down hill with just one hand aannd, NO HELMETS! OMG! The schools would send home notes to parents nowadays warning them not to let their kids see such a dangerous movie with these harmful examples! That's cynical I guess, but truer than not I bet.
For those who don't know, Tickety boo has originated from an Indian phrase "Thik hai Babu" meaning "Everything is fine, Sir ".
How can you not be charmed by Danny Kaye singing such a gentle song?
Why has this not crossed my eyes before. I've been on the planet for over fifty years and only today I was blessed with this. Thank you TH-cam ((;
Have you seen ‘The Court Jester,’ and ‘ The Inspector General?’
This is from Merry Andrew, I also recommend The Court Jester and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty too.

looove this movie! Love this song! Thanks for sharing
Danny Kaye is just so wonderful
❤
That horse was wearing a sun hat... amazing.
For those of you less familiar with these terms, 'Tickety-Boo' is basically British for 'Hunky-Dory.'
Roughly 50 years ago in the cinema, but I remember the song well.
He makes you feel good and happy and positive in these troubled times!
Every advert on TV and radio is just loud noise (and switched over/off immediately. This is wonderful! Love his English accent

Questa canzone è meravigliosa ascoltarla ad ogni momento specialmente nelle belle giornate. Grande Danny.
Most impressive bicycle sequence I've seen since Muppet Caper, and adorable song!
I use ticketyboo all the time and have never heard this before!!

If Danny Kaye rode up on his bicycle singing this song then I would sing along with him. I don't think I'd have a choice.
This is a real treasure! Thanks for sharing this
Damn you Klavaaaaaaaaaan!
thank you for uploading,,...but now i am addicted to dancing to it whenever i hear it
someone asked me how I was and the first thing that popped into my head was "everything is tickety-boo" ! i never use that phrase, but I will now.
Interesting it is thought by some the expression "tickety boo" may have likely come from the Hindi expression "teekey babu" meaning "everything is all right sir"

good song
Ex produce Manager Mark Hunsberger always said Tickety boo
I listen to this ironically when I am at my lowest in life.
It's a good song though.
Luther in “Luther” played by Idris Elba always uses the phrase “tickety boo” if things are going well

You can also see the bridge behind Bing Crosby in his segment of "That's Entertainment!"
this made my day!
That is just awesome omg
From the movie MERRY ANDREWS.
@aksa8c yes, that is a little earlier in the movie. His pant leg gets caught in the chain as he's pedaling to class and he end up in a wheelie. Kaye was so brilliant at physical humor.
Yup this sums it up today...until January 20, 2021
Meravigliosa ti si apre l'anima ed il cuore.
Wasn't there a bit when Danny had his coat or trouser caught in the bicycle chain? Maybe my memory is playing tricks. Great viewing this one.
REminds me of the produce manager Mark Hunsberger. He says Ticketyboo all the ttime
do you know how rare this clip is? I've been looking for a copy f this film forever...
Tickety -Boo 💙🙈🎉🎉🎉🎉

Make sure to get like 7 friends riding all around you singing along. xD
Mette sempre il buon umore
😂😂😂😂

So happy! :)
Love this song
Same, what do you like about it?
I like the mood it gives off, it makes me feel calm, how about you?
idk why, but for me it gives off a form of anemoia. Anyway how did you discover this song?
Funny thing is it was on accident, I was trying to search a name up that I heard in a daithi de nogla video, somehow it brought me here. How about you?
This is what England is like. Every day.
Michael Apichella We wish!!
The guy at the right nearly fell of his bike. 2:09
This is awesome XD
think they did the bike riding thing before the sound of music did - good ol' Danny Kaye makes me laugh all right-tee-oh
I always wondered where Douglas Adams got that expression!
Such a ridiculous song but Danny Kaye is so charming ❤
2:10 the guy almost falls
How about all the unsung musician heroes
sight reading /performing those parts, no loops, no ProTools! Le Roi est mort. Vive le Roi!

Oops ... it should have been 5*'s not 58.. Must be having a 'Homer moment there!'
