How many of you know that this was written and based in a small town in Iowa? Born and raised there. They have a band festival parade every May and a museum with a streetscape that looks how it did “back in the day”.

Is this a rap song? 2:23

Whaddya talk whaddya talk!

I-O-WAY!

The owner of the billiard parlor: “Dude, it’s just a pool table!”

3:33 looks like Robin Williams

2:26 looks like he wondered if he left the iron on.

"Top 10 rappers eminem was afraid to diss" but this time all in the same room together

she is a truly beautiful woman.

the birth of rap :)

This 《♡》

Well, I think we're coming back to this with 45 back as 47. The pool parlors are keeping our children from their chores. And they attract Haitians who eat the dogs and eat the cats. Thank God for Robert Preston all those years ago.

Perspectivalist conceit.

The height of Western civilisation

My high school did this production and the guy who said the line at 2:06 stopped in the middle and said “wait I messed up, can we do it again?” Everyone was so confused

The sun kil moon of musical songs

Perhaps the first rap song on recording?

1:02 Lorelai Quote in S1E14 Gilmore Girls

((([[[. MUSIC. . ]]]))) 0:00 Well, there's the weather, of course, when it's in season. Now, Mars, I need some ideas if I'm going to get your town out of the serious trouble it's in. River City ain't in any trouble, but then I have to create some. Must create a desperate need in your town for a boy's band. So why does everybody keep rubbering into the billiard parlor? Oh, they just got in a new pool table. Must have seen a pool table before. No, just... bards. 0:34 That'll do it. You just sit where you are and remember if you see that music... [Music] 0:45 Teacher, are you Mr. Dunlop? Yeah, well, either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge, or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community. Well, you got trouble, my friend, right here. I say trouble right here in River City. Why, sure,I'm a billiard player. Certainly, mighty proud to say I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand are golden. Help me cultivate horse sense and a cool head and a keen eye. You ever take and try to give an ironclad leave to yourself from a three-rail billiard shot? But just as I say it, takes judgment, brains, and maturity to score in a bu line game. I say that any boo can take and shove a ball in a pocket, and I call that sloth. The first big step on the road to the depths of De-gr...I say, first medicinal wine from a teaspoon, then beer from a bottle, and the next thing you know your son is playing for money in a pinch-back suit and listening to some big out-of-town Jasper hearing him tell about horse race gambling. Not a wholesome trotting race, no, but a race where they sat down right on the horse. Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sitting on Dan Patch make your blood boil. While I should say now, friends, let me tell you what I mean. You got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 pockets in a table. Pockets that mark the difference between a gentleman and a bum with a capital B, and that rhymes with p, and that stands for pool. And all week long, you River City youth will be frittering away... I say your young men will be frittering, frittering away their noon time, supper time, short time too, to get the ball in the pocket. Never mind getting dandelions pulled with a screen door patched to the beefsteak pounded. Never mind pumping any water till your parents are caught with a sister empty on a Saturday night. And that's trouble Yes, you got lots and lots of trouble. l'm thinking of the kids in the nicera shirttail, young ones peeking in the pool hall window after school. You got trouble, folks, right here in River City. Trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with p, and that stands for pool. Now, I know all you folks are the right kind of parents.I'm going to be perfectly Frank. Would you like to know what kind of conversation goes on while they're loafing around that hall? They'l been trying out bivo, trying out cuabs, trying out tailor maids like cigarette fiends, and bragging all about how they're going to cover up a telltale breath with Sansan. One fine night, they leave the pool hall heading for the dance at the Armory. Libertine men and scarlet women and ragtime shameless music that'll grab your son, your daughter, with the arms of a jungle animal instinct. Masteria friends, the idle brain is the Devil's Playground. Trouble right here in River City with the capital T, and rhymes with p, and stands for pool. We've surely got trouble right here in River City. Here, got to figure out a way to keep the young ones moral after.. [Music] 3:27 School, mothers of River City, heed that warning before it's too late. Watch for the telltale signs of corruption. The minute your son leaves the house, does he rebuck his nicker boers below the knee? Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger? A dime novel hidden in the corn crib? ls he starting to memorize jokes from Captain Billy's whizbang? Are certain words creeping into his conversation? Words like..like swell..and so's your old man. Well, if so, my friends Y transcript after 3:50 Here's the transcript from 3:50 onwards: 3:50 and so's your old man. Well, if so, my friends, you got trouble right here in River City. Right here, city with the capital T, and that rhymes with p, and that stands for pool. Stand for pool. We surely got trouble. We surely got trouble right here in River City. Remember the main Plymouth Rock and the Golden Rule. Oh, we got trouble. We're in terrible, terrible trouble That game with the 15 numbered ballsis a devil's to...Oh, yes, we got trouble. Trouble, trouble. [Applause] 4:34 Rhy..with stands... forol. Remember my friends, listen to me because I passed this way but once [Music]

Buddy Hackett nearly slappin' the kid at 3:45 was gold 😂

Fundamental Law rising ❤ 🇺🇲 ❤

what a great song and dance

Ms. Shirley was 8 months pregnant here! The baby kicked Preston.

I have the original 45 rpm❤

I had the privilege of playing Gertie for a school play!

Did I just witness the birth of rap? Grandmaster Flash appropriated.

Misogynist

I think we've missed just how perfect a pick-up line this is, at 0:42 heck, it still works NOW, in modern-day! "what do you want to take out?" "the *librarian* ." stg, all that's missing is a cheesy grin and a pair of fingerguns 🤣

This guy reminds me of Papa John Schnatter

This is how religion started. Can’t get saved if you don’t play in the band!

Cigarettes illegal in THIS state...

This brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Pretty heavy stuff once you really get it.

I haven’t seen this movie in over 30 years, but it’s still great.

Bro could sell the WORSE crypto imaginable

Omg i found someone who has the exact same name ❤

Me coming here after reading Dungeons & Drama

What a Tour de Force!

Robert Preston is amazing, fantastic! His timing, his physicality is incomparable.

This is rap music i can understand and appreciate more than any rap music today!

Opnion: Old mate threatens to spank her. Old mate batting above his weight.

Sometimes I visit this video to check in on the men in the closet who don't understand satire and the women who are desperate for a man who doesn't understand satire. I hope you fellas find your future beard and live happily ever after ❤
