I love Mayor Stoner's line: "Well, I'll admit they sound better than they did last year. But they are STILL the most DISGUSTING band I have ever heard in ALL my LIFE! No trip." I personally have always ranked that line and this scene as one of the funniest moments in Mayberry!
To this day, my dad still laughs at this episode... I remember first watching it on TV with him when I was in the 2nd grade & found it hilarious. 'The Mayberry Band' was literally the first episode of 'The Andy Griffith Show' that I ever watched, as a matter of fact...
@@melldavenport4040 If you look closely, during the scene when & where the band marches around the corner of a building & onto the main street, you'll see an elderly black woman standing on the sidewalk.
In the scene beginning at 1:10 where they are rehearsing, you have to be a really good musician for everyone to know HOW to play so bad and make it funny. This is one of my favorite episodes, especially at the end of the show where the bus pulls away and they play so badly again.
They cut the part about the mayor saying he saw some guys with beards and Any says "That was Burley Peters, he had blueberry pie for lunch". Also, this had to one of the very last shows were Floyd was still able to walk. He had a stroke around 1963 and was always shown sitting down after that.
I love Howard McNear as Floyd, grinning from ear to ear as he's marching. All the time not playing a note of music! Andy somehow cons the mayor into listening to his abominable band. His facial expressions are of a man ready to jump off a bridge. I was ready to cry with laughter at this marching band from hell. Not a bad trade though. Worst band. Best show.
Great melody 💙 This reminds me of the 🥁 sticks I got for reiki.. perfect Mayberry is real and they have there very own parade Captin go cardinals 👍 well my bird is a blue Jay..
The Expert Percussion tapped out by drumsticks on the chair at "Floyd's Barbershop" sets up the later cacophonous misery disguised as Music at "Sheriff Andy Taylor's" Office very well!😂🤣😂🎤🎼🎵🎶🎷🎺🥁B.W.
Just Imagine A Band Like This Trying To Play "Four-Leaf Clover" In The Same, Mangled Manner As They Did With The "Three Cheers For The Red, White & Blue"! ~ LOL .
Though I do agree I was waiting for the "but they are still the most disgusting band I've ever heard. No trip!", I think that 'thisiasecret' did a fantastic job editing the video to basically tell the story in around 5 minutes. Thanks for putting this up!
Hay,how come I wasnt in the band.I can march better than Barney Fife!!!Three Cheers For MAYBERRY!!!Best show ever made.Thank you ANDY and BARNEY!!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Does anyone know the name of that song that they were trying to play? They played it towards the end of the episode with Freddy Fleet's band. I just can't quite remember what it's called.
SalandFindles well it was, of course, ole page number 12, STARS & STRIPES FOREVER. it would do certain overpaid athletes a world of good to do "Patriotism and Persperation Mayor" as Andy put it, a lot more often.
@@henryrocknfellerHe may very well be from the "Divided States". Jesse Watters once asked someone if he knew when the U. S. declared its independence. His answer: 1984. On "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" A woman was asked to name a president engraved on Mt. Rushmore. Her answer: George Bush. (She couldn't even say which one.) Dutch Vankirk, the navigator on the Enola Gay, was asked to speak to a high school history class. When he was introduced, the teacher said he was a veteran of World War 11. (THAT'S WORLD WAR ELEVEN.) And here we've been worried about World War III.
In my opinion. The Mayberry band was just background actors. The real band you heard was off stage. Some of the other band looks like real musicians. If they was, most likely it was them playing out of tune off stage.
