Guy Mitchell - She Wears Red Feathers 

My late Mum loved his Music and I have to agree with Her RIP hen ALWAYS xxx

This is so well done,and it takes the s--t out of us English but such fun.Most excellent.

Guy Mitchell is very underrated. He had about 40 hit songs, and he had hits in the top 10 throughout the entire decade of the 1950s. He also could sing in more than one style.

My grandmother passed away yesterday, one of her favorite songs ♥️

My dad loves Guy Mitchell and I was brought up on all his songs, I know them all word perfect. My dad is now terminally ill and listening to this song brings back so so many memories and starts my never ending tears back off.

i was 11 yrs old and still remember listening to this song on the big valve radio we had in the living room

Guy mitchell is mega underrated. Thankfully the Fallout game brought a some attention to one of his other songs. But he still deserves so much more

My mum adores Guy Mitchell. We saw him live in Croydon, UK about 30 years ago. I expected to be bored to death, especially when he came on stage with a stick and spent the whole concert on a stool. Instead, it was amazing. A perfect entertainer.

One of my earliest memories listening to this at my aunts home on a Christmas evening party. It was a 78 played on a radiogramme.

When I was a kid, my parents had stacks of 78 records. I don’t know why, but this was my favorite record/song

Thank you for taking us down Memory Lane with this delightful share. Guy mitchell had such a sunshine voice. Love him...

Today is my best friends two year anaversery.she was ten when she passed away This is her favourite song ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Incredible singer and talent. Love listening to Guy Mitchell songs.

I remember that my mum had a 78 of this as I am 76 years old that’s going back some years

Remember singing this in the car back in the60's with my parents before we had a radio

How could anyone not like this?

I always remember my dad singing along to this song quite often when I was little. He had it on the old 78- speed records.

Great to hear a version slightly different from the record.

Wow!!! my mum used to sing this to me when I was little, bri gs back lovely memories

I was very lucky to know Guy quite well in the early 1970s I can honestly say he was and no doubt still is a wonderful person.

My Grandad had a Guy MItchell album which I used to listen to as a child. I remember this one, Sparrow in a Treetop, and Pittsburg, Pennsylvania vividly to this day, about 30-40 years since first hearing them

I wasn't even born when This song came out as it came out around 1953 such a real great hit single from 1950's

Got to see the legendary Professor Mitchell in concert in Los Angeles in 1993. I had dinner with him and his wife after the show. He had some priceless tales about having a differenfce of opinion with Mitch Miller in the early 1950s about repertoire. Amazingly brilliant man. Pure class. He is greatly, greatly missed.

Thanks for posting this clip Kester. Liked this song the first time I heard it. This clip really shows what a talented entertainer he was. Really enjoyed it!

I'm 23 years old and lucky enough to have heard 50's music, thanks to a video game named fallout :) This music makes me so happy! I can only imagine how beautiful those times were, and its special for those who lived them.

Brings back happy memories of sunny summer days in a small seaside town in UK playing on the ORIGINAL mechanical old penny slot machines,there were no gambling machines unlike now, it was pure fun. I remember most were on a tropical theme for some reason. very cool.Thanks.

MISS HIM SO MUCH .... WE ROUNDED UP CATTLE IN IDAHO

I met him when he was in hospital. Lovely chap.

nice nice

My sister and I used to sing this for momma.. with all the moves.. loved it!

Still Game.

My 8 year old loves this!!

This guy never loses one's attention, and so is very able as an entertainer, as well as having an ultra-cool song to sing. Tell me, was this a clip for showing before a movie, or is this from a television show?

This is my happy song ❤

Thanks for the info Larry! Sad news to us he toured in the 60's for RETV62.

This was my great Gran’s favourite song before she passed away

brings back fond memories!

why do people say Guy was underrated? he was very well recognised for all of the hits he produced. what more do you want?... was he bigger than Elvis?... no.... but Guy Mitchell is still a huge legend and it shows from all the people who still like his music including me... i guess an accurate thing to say is Guy Mitchell and many stars of the era are under-appreciated by younger generations. happens to all musical eras. how's classical music faring these days?

My dad sung this to me when I was a child he passed away last week..x

we got a record player and this was one of two records that we got with it in 1950's

my favorite singer, other than bing. just heard his best recordings and enjoyed them all and could sing along, never missing a beat for most of them. too bad mitchell was an alcoholic and that ended his career; but boy he could sing!

I love it. :D

I'm 19 years old and I love vintage music so much. I wish I was born in that generation but sadly I'm born in the generation where everyone vibe with songs like WAP. Idk anyone of my generation still listens to this masterpiece.

Number one the day I was born!

Funny he was popular singing over in England in the 50's, he was from Detroit Mi, and did tv acting over here,

what ever happen to the girl he was singing about maybe she went back home again?

Where’s my London fog coat. It was a man’s 2X it’s missing. It was gray. I keep thinking where did that coat go? I bought it at forest park church bizarre. It was big and I liked it.

Was this version taken from movie ? Also, most lyrics state the line 'Each night of music calls, rather lost I seem' doesn't make sense to me.

brilliant guy Mitchell

Still Game 2023

I love the ending to this! Although I have heard its kind many times before I can't recall the names of other songs that use it. Do you know of any?

My mum 💔❤️❤️

Tip top.Just the ticket

What year was this performance?

She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt) She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me I work in a London bank, respectable position From nine to three they serve you tea But ruin your disposition Each night of music calls, rather lost I seem And once a pearl of a native girl came smilin' right at me She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a-sailin' The fourteenth day from Mandalay I spied her from the railin' She knew I was on my way, waited, and was true She said "You son of an Englishman, I've dreamed each night of you" She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me I went to her Ma and Pa and said I loved her only And they both said we could be wed, oh, what a ceremony An elephant brought her in, placed her by my side While six baboons got out bassoons and played "Here Comes the Bride" I'm back here in London town and, though it may sound silly She's here with me and you should see us walk down Picadilly The boys at the London bank kinda hold their breath She sits with me and sips her tea which tickles them to death She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love (and love) in her heart (in her heart) for me

ina scared!.. i actualy watched it..

Hehe .. that's so funny lol

This needs a final verse where she cooks and eats him.

People Who Don’t Know:😃 People Who Know:🇬🇧⚔️🇰🇵

He died of cancer in 1999.

Red Feathers is catchy and memorable. The only thing is, to make the lyric scan "from" has to be sung as two syllables, ... "ferr-om" ... which kind of drives me nuts. Can't blame the singer; GM sings the song about as well as it can be sung. It's the songwriter's fault. So would I change it? Of course not. It's a classic, warts and all.

This is a brilliant song I don't think it matters that he had a speech impediment and he couldn't say HULA ...so it came out HULI....or that he couldn't say Coca nuts and came out cocee nuts it's still a good somg

This should be in fallout 76 lol

I forget how much of caricatures we were. I guess we still are, but not so blatantly. I wish I grew up knowing my real culture. Instead I have nonsense like this. Even today. Though not as bad.

I rather think this is a Comedy show 😅

My cousin Elaine, childhood favourite song
