I've never heard of this movie. I had googled The Singing Horses-the 4 Horses singing and harmonizing by a fence singing acapella. Do y'all know of what I speak? Check it out or revisit it. Makes ya smile and pick which horse you'll be. Lol. It's also a game.
yaaah, yaaah, yaaah, yaaaaaaah! 1st time I watched this movie, when I discovered it was the horse that was singing, I just couldnt stop laughing. Too stupid, too funny!
Yeaaaah, all the time I thought the man was singing. Then I thought the man hiding in the hay was singing. Then the song again ".....I have been working like dog". Suddenly I realised the horse was singing and compared himself with a dog. That was just tooooo MUCH. I went into mad fit of laughter. What made it uncontrollably more funny was that ONLY one more guy in the entire theatre found it as hilarious as I did. They all wanted to get on with the movie and we could not stop laughing.
The song is a German folksong named "Du, du liegst mir im Herzen" ("You, You Are In My Heart"). Here is a version sung by famous European Vicky Leandros: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vohIzV3F9D8.html
My all time favourite comedy movie because it's not just a typical comedy movie. This go way more beyond than that. Its like a fusion with Surrealism and Dadaísm mixed in comedy.
I don't know what's worse 1. That i had to listen to "he's a little hoarse with my own ears 2. The fact that i knew the line but clicked anyway Or 3. I laughed at it as i always do
Yeah, the man made the LITTLE sick horse work whole night. Imagine that! No wonder the horse created a song about his plight and sang while working to keep his sanity intact. I love the horse's positive attitude. Great horsee :)
Of course it makes PERFECT sense. Yeah, the owner made the LITTLE sick horse work whole night. Imagine that! No wonder the horse created a song about his plight and sang while working to keep his sanity intact. I love the horse's positive attitude. Great horsee :)
Going back to 1984 or'85. I know horses and their behaviours. I had my favourite to ride on, a white broad chested stallion that was raised in the mountains and could climb a bit on rock surfaces, a bit like a goat ....... Anyway, once in Suva, Fiji, I was walking in the street all alone and it was a very very hot day. Saw Lilac movie theatre. Ah! air condition inside. Bought a downstairs ticket and sat in front of a very wide screen. Downstairs was practically empty. I was very close to the screen looking up but it was cool, very cool inside ... nice :) I had no idea what movie was running. I witnessed something on the screen that triggered me into loud laughter. I heard another guy in the audience laughing across the darkness in the downstairs section, on my far right. I went into a fit of multiple laughter. So did he. Everyone else was silent. We went silent. Only us 2 found it funny. That made it more funny. I burst into laughter again. So did he. We went into silence. He burst into laughter again. So did I. ... this is screaming laughter. People sooshed us quiet. We went quiet ... suddenly I burst out. He followed. People sooshed us quiet again. The "soosh" coming from upstairs. I realised only us 2 were sitting downstairs. That added to the humour. The movie had moved on and people were getting annoyed with us. I was wondering who the other guy was and burst out again. So did he. At this stage people started making vocal expressions of annoyance. Finally we went quiet but I was still laughing ..... not so loud. ".....like a dog" is what triggered the laughter ... turn the VOLUME HIGH to listen properly . This video capture by Eviltee is the only part I remember of the movie. I entered the movie theatre exactly at the point this video starts. Amazing that Eviltee picked up exactly this part about 17 yrs later. Thanks :)
I would have liked the horse to complete singing the song. He knew The Beetles and had a good command of English sayings. Lets hear the rest of the song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IySmwmUPwk0.html
Actually, the lyrics are: "Weißt nicht wie gut ich dir bin", but it does sound vaguely similar to your interpretation. Translated, the line says "You don't know how much I like you". Walter Slezak sings the song in Hitchcock's Life Boat, and Marlene Dietrich recorded it, too
