I'm here 11 years after your comment because it did it to me, too. I watched this movie like 27 years ago in elementary school! Why does it keep coming back? Lmao
Tell ya 'bout them sobbin' women Who lived in the Roman days. It seems that they all went swimmin' While their men was off to graze. Well, a Roman troop was ridin' by And saw them in their "me oh my", So they took 'em all back home to dry. Least that's what Plutarch says. Oh yes! Them a woman was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' Fit to be tied. Ev'ry muscle was throbbin', throbbin' From that riotous ride. Oh they cried and kissed and kissed and cried All over that Roman countryside So don't forget that when you're takin' a bride. Sobbin' fit to be tied From that riotous ride! They never did return their plunder The victor gets all the loot. They carried them home, by thunder, To rotundas small but cute. And you've never seens so, They tell me, such downright domesticity. With a Roman baby on each knee Named "Claudius" and "Brute" Oh yes! Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', passin' them nights. While the Romans was goin' out hobbin', nobbin' Startin' up fights. They kept occupied by sewin' lots of little old togas For them tots and sayin' "someday women folk'll have rights." Passin' all o' them nights. Just sewin'! While the Romans had fights. "Hey listen to this" Now when their men folk went to fetch 'em Them women would not be fetched. It seems them Romans ketch 'em That their lady friends stay ketched. Now let this be because it's true, A lesson to the likes of you, Treat 'em rough like them there Romans do Or else they'll think you're tetched. Oh yes! Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', Sobbin' buckets of tears On account o' old dobbin', Dobbin' really rattled their ears. Oh they acted angry and annoyed But secretly they was overjoyed You must recall that when corralin' your streets Oh, oh, oh, oh them poe little dears. Oh yes Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' Oh yeah Weepin' a ton Then sobbin' women Just remember what Robin, Robin, Robin Oh yeah Hood woulda done. Them sobbin women. We'll be just like them three merry men And make 'em all merry once again. And though they'll be a sobbin' for a while Oh yes! We're gonna make them sobbin' women smile!
I was like 8 when I saw this movie for the first time at my mom's friend's house while they were busy. When she realized what I was watching she was HORRIFIED! I spent the entire movie laughing. Idk how I got the humor at 8 and she did not at 40!
I remember the first time I saw this and they started signing about actually kidnapping those girls my first thoughts was, "they're not!" And yet I couldn't help but laugh at the whole scene. What's wrong with me?
Nothing is wrong. If you can laugh at this scene, that means you can separate it from reality. People need to remember that this is satire and that in reality, this scene would be absolutely horrible
Then you watch Gene Kelly's Singin in the Rain and get songs like "beautiful girl" which includes sick "compliments" as "and you're over sweet 16". It was the 1950s guys c'mon what the hell were we expecting anyways...
It’s important to remember that songs in musicals should be taken at more than face value. For instance, focus on who is singing the songs, who are they singing them too, why are they singing, context of the situation, etc. People use to think like this all the time when watching musicals, but that skill has been lost to time. My point: NEVER TAKE LYRICS AT FACE VALUE, especially in musicals. Before this scene, it’s already established that Adam isn’t the smartest person with flaws (sexism being one, along with lack of manners). He, quite recently, just did a quick read of “Sabine Women.” HOWEVER! Adam misinterprets the book as a lesson about getting women rather than what it actually was (kidnapping, along with other horrible things). You can already tell when he confuses “Sabine” for “Sobbing” before he even starts singing, a subtle way to clue the audience in that Adam doesn’t know what he’s saying. Unfortunately, as Adam is the oldest brother, the rest of the brothers follow his lead because they think he’s the smartest since he’s the oldest. The other brothers are lovestruck, lonely, and desperate to get with the Brides, so when Adam presents an opportunity for them to get their girls, they jump at the idea without rationally thinking (and it’s already established that the 6 younger brothers, even after being cleaned up by Millie, are still not the smartest bunch, just physically capable mountain men). In no way am I saying what they did I right, but it’s a good way to emphasize these character flaws that drive the brothers actions.
I remember watching this in my 1st hour class on my last day as a senior. Memories.
When this song just pops in your head randomly, no big deal. Lol

And saw them in their "me oh my",
So they took 'em all back home to dry.
Least that's what Plutarch says.

Oh they cried and kissed and kissed and cried
All over that Roman countryside
So don't forget that when you're takin' a bride.
Sobbin' fit to be tied
From that riotous ride!
They never did return their plunder
The victor gets all the loot.
They carried them home, by thunder,
To rotundas small but cute.
And you've never seens so,
They tell me, such downright domesticity.
With a Roman baby on each knee
Named "Claudius" and "Brute"
Oh yes!

Startin' up fights.
They kept occupied by sewin' lots of little old togas
For them tots and sayin' "someday women folk'll have rights."
Passin' all o' them nights.
Just sewin'!
While the Romans had fights.
"Hey listen to this"
Now when their men folk went to fetch 'em
Them women would not be fetched.
It seems them Romans ketch 'em
That their lady friends stay ketched.
Now let this be because it's true,
A lesson to the likes of you,
Treat 'em rough like them there Romans do
Or else they'll think you're tetched.
Oh yes!
Them a women was sobbin', sobbin',
Sobbin' buckets of tears
On account o' old dobbin',
Dobbin' really rattled their ears.
Oh they acted angry and annoyed
But secretly they was overjoyed
You must recall that when corralin' your streets
Oh, oh, oh, oh them poe little dears.
Oh yes
Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' Oh yeah
Weepin' a ton Then sobbin' women
Just remember what Robin, Robin, Robin Oh yeah

And make 'em all merry once again.
And though they'll be a sobbin' for a while
Oh yes!
We're gonna make them sobbin' women smile!
