Oh, for a return to the day when musicians and lyricists were writing special material like this for three incredibly talented performers. And to think - The Carol Burnett Show and Mary Poppins are waiting in the wings!
Julie Andrew's and Carol Burnett were best friends and their love for each other shows. It's such a treat to see such talent and beauty performing in such a wholesome way. Time should have stopped in '62.
The announcement about Audrey Hepburn starring in the film was made the same month as this performance, in May of 1962(see source below) That makes the joke even funnier and it had to come from an awesome friend like Carol. Clearly Julie Andrews was/is a very secure individual. This whole song was a set up for the joke and seems to be a way to show that not getting the film was quite survivable. Now, how many of us could survive in a world without Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins? Actually, It is Julie in The Sound of Music that is vital to me. She might not have gotten that role without Mary Poppins. So, everything worked out loverly. emanuellevy.com/comment/my-fair-lady-casting-audrey-hepburn-and-rex-harrison-5/
The funny thing is, if you see Julie doing a cockney accent in England (she’s done it on specials in england) it’s so perfect such a strong cockney accent . But in America they couldn’t understand it so she had to push it down abit to make it understandable
That was great! Interesting number about Carol wanting to learn cockney from Julie to audition for "My Fair Lady"... considering what ultimately happened.
@@Danielevanssmith She was joking. She sang the same song and said the same thing on The Carol Burnett Show in 1973 when she asked Maggie Smith to teach her that. Maggie even remarked that 'Julie Andrews will be livid'.
I will rewatch this over and over again. To see these actresses at such a young age in black n white is amazing. I thank you from Canada for posting this.
The late Garry Moore(real name Thomas Garrison Morfit) was one of TV's true pioneers. He hosted a long-running TV variety series("The Garry Moore Show") and a long-running game show ("I've Got A Secret") for CBS, and he also emceed the syndicated version of the classic game show "To Tell The Truth".
This song is usual to remember if u actually if do a Cockney accent. ( Fun Fact: Julie Andrews was taught the accent for "My Fair Lady" by an American dialect coach )
I remember these program love it I have english and my granfather had coat of arms.!!! I ?am very english ,tea in afternoon with biscuit or cookie mine scones.
Delightful! If only Dick Van Dyke had watched this video before his attempt to do a proper cockney accent before his performance on Mary Poppins as Bert the chimney sweep...Actually Michael Caine woulda been great as Burt and he'd a been about the right age.
The song was made for Julie and Carol. Such as "You're so London". Precisely alluding to the image of "little English princess" that people had of Julie. "The Cockney lesson" was because Julie was famous for her role as Eliza in the MFL on Broadway.
"Taint only the 'urdlin' an' the 'oppin over the 'igh 'edges what 'urts the 'orse's 'ooves, it's the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard iron road". I'm not sure the exact origin but something very similar appeared in an 1850s satirical Punch illustration of the way a Cockney stable boy might speak, and Mark Twain also wrote a variant of this in one of his pieces 'Concerning The American Language'. Julie is saying, "It isn't only the hurdling and the hopping over the high hedges that hurts the horse's hooves. It's the hammer hammer hammer on the hard iron road"... I think!

Julie is making me die from cuteness
oh wow! Stabs at the film My Fair Lady now? hahaha good going Julie!
Not the film (1964) ... this is 1962! They are referring to the STAGE version! ;-)
@@francoismonferran5685 Julie was in the stage version, casting was done before 1964. ;-)

Nice to see Roy Castle here. perfectly partnering the two girls.
Weird seeing Julie and Carol before they were Julie friggin Andrews and Carol friggin Burnett.
Amen
Julie had already broken a record on Broadway with My Fair Lady and on TV with Cinderella. But I agree, the best was yet to come.
@@joyk555 And I believe Carol had already received (or was about to) the Emmy for her work on the Garry Moore Show.
This explains why Mary Poppins had no trouble understanding Bert the chimney sweep...
Yes, but wasn't Bert played by an American, Dick van Dyke?

@@ColonelMarcellus Yes, he was! Dick Van Dyke is trying his hardest to see his extraordinary 99th birthday.
thanks to you, the whole world gets to see Jools and Carol at their peak...unforgettable....!!
That was great!

This is 1962 .... so it HAD happened! :-)
Any confusion about my comment...I was referring to the film. Carol says she wants to audition for the movie version.
@@Danielevanssmith She was joking. She sang the same song and said the same thing on The Carol Burnett Show in 1973 when she asked Maggie Smith to teach her that. Maggie even remarked that 'Julie Andrews will be livid'.
This is so adorable. Her facial expressions...! And those outfits!
Julie, wherever you are recibe a big hug, 💞 love from Oaxaca, México
Carol & Julie were besties WAY back then! I didn't know.
Julie is sooo sweet and adorable!!! ❤❤
Brillopads! I know the Carol & Maggie Smith version of by heart, but this one is new to me! How sweet!
@stottie92 This was the original. Written especially for Carol and Julie.
Thank you for the videos and the backstory. I love them 💕
Julie is adorable and huggable ❤️❤️❤️

I love this!!!!! Thank you!! Such a treat to be able to watch these so many years later.
This is so awesome! the funniest contribution so far by far! cannot stop watching!
Julie is a gem

This is adorable!!
Love it! Thanks for posting
Thank you!! I love Dame Julie Andrews!!
3:00 my reaction to all Julie said there, was the same as Carol’s 😄
It ain't only the 'urdlin and the 'oppin over the 'igh 'edges what 'urts the 'orses 'ooves it's the ammer ammer ammer on the 'ard iron road.
Thank you - you made me feel like I was back in high school
This song is usual to remember if u actually if do a Cockney accent. ( Fun Fact: Julie Andrews was taught the accent for "My Fair Lady" by an American dialect coach )
Absolutely love this. Julie so funny and don't even bother praising Carol it would take up weeks of time.The guy's damned good also
Such talent
2:25 "what a lot of little buttholes" ik thats not what they said but thats the only thing i can hear kajdkjahs
Wha' a lo' o' li'ul bo'uls. (What a lot of little bottles). Roy was from Yorkshire not London, so Cockney was a foreign language to him as well :)
@@chrisnorton4382 hahahah, thanks!
I remember these program love it I have english and my granfather had coat of arms.!!! I ?am very english ,tea in afternoon with biscuit or cookie mine scones.
Carol is probably the most talented female ever!!
I haven’t laughed that hard in awhile!
What song play at the start when it shows newspaper pictures of Julie Andrews?
julie was four months pregnant in this, you can kind of notice. when she sits down, she doesn’t slouch like carol does, it would show too much
2:57 Before Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Delightful! If only Dick Van Dyke had watched this video before his attempt to do a proper cockney accent before his performance on Mary Poppins as Bert the chimney sweep...Actually Michael Caine woulda been great as Burt and he'd a been about the right age.
Omg Maggie Smith sings this with carol on carols show ah

I love how no one's disliked it as well
Also, what did Julie say @ 1:23
It sounds a bit like 'steady Bertie'. Maybe it was a British catchphrase from the 40s or 50s, unless it was from P G Wodehouse.
"Taint only the 'urdlin' an' the 'oppin over the 'igh 'edges what 'urts the 'orse's 'ooves, it's the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard iron road".

Two legends, one sdly taken from us so young, and Carol Burnett
Julie is alive. Who do you mean?
@@markwhitman9029 Roy Castle....
Shouldn’t that be “a loverly bit of comic business”?
Now we have the Geico gekko who supposedly speaks Cockney, or the regional accent thereof.
So why didn't Julie give Dick Van Dyke some pointers for Mary Poppins?
Julie was almost 3 months pregnant in this, am I the only one who can see how tight her top is.
Poor Professor Higgins.
LOL!
Can anyone interpret what Julie says at 2:57 ? I wanna sing the song but I cant understand a word she says!
"taint only the 'urdlin an' the 'oppin over the 'igh 'edges what 'urts the 'orses 'ooves, it's the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard iron road"'.
[ It isn't only the hurdling and the hopping over the high hedges hurts the horse's hooves, it's the hammer, hammer, hammer on the hard iron road ]
Pretty clear really. Lots of English accents, not just Cockney, drop haitches from words. But we do say 'herb' properly and not 'erb. :)
Thank you!!!! That’s very helpful.
