BARNACLE BILL THE SAILOR by Hoagy Carmichael 1930

[@patriciomartinotti5694]

George Harrison´s Montreal interview in 2000 bring me here. Just imagine him listen to this at his car... hahaha.

[@winstonchang777]

me , too

[@winstonchang777]

me again, was George just kidding..,right?..I cannot imagine that lady interviewer actually knowing this song

[@RUSTONE31]

Hahaha wonder what people will say.

[@simonegallo323]

I came from there too😀✌️

[@gelar27]

I just watch the interview 😁

[@alexpollock6932]

Yes I’m here because of George but those were some pretty solid solos from the Trumpet and Clarinet

[@simonegallo323]

Me too ahahah Love you George

[@comedykitchenwithchefcell]

George sent me too.

[@drewmfie]

its bix and benny goodman!! they better be solid!!

[@MRAustismCFEpilepsy]

My grandma used to sing us this song to make us stop crying. She did a little sailor dance during the sailor part.

[@HooDatDonDar]

And, maybe, warning you a little about what is out there. Great grandma! There is a fair amount of those cleverly disguised warnings about. Have a close look at Beatrix Potter’s ‘The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck’. Written for the kids, but...

[@allsbrook1]

I'm here cause George Harrison said he liked this, thought I'd check it out! I Like it

[@shanemckenna9416]

That’s one helluva lineup. I got to know this song from an old Popeye cartoon.

[@plasticdadaii8225]

This isn't the version I heard growing up! Thank you!!!!

[@cartoonjoe]

Nope...this is the squeaky-clean version.

[@Tanzadog1]

@@cartoonjoe very,very, very much so😁

[@jillzi7]

Thumbs up if a George Harrison video clip/interview, brought you here..lol

[@RUSTONE31]

To me I wanted to know this other song that has a sample from this song. I wanted to hear if the sample was from this song. For 25 years I've been wondering where the sample came from.

[@cha5]

No a Fleischer Brothers Betty Boop cartoon brought me here.

[@prudencewalrus3559]

so george was getting LIT to this song in his slow drives

[@BigSpiderback]

Yeow! Bix in 1924, playing with the Wolverines, was advanced over his contemporaries, the NORK, ODJB, Oliver's Creole Jazz, Jelly Roll Morton,etc. and here he is in 1930, nearing the end of his life,playing a sizzling, red-hot chorus over Gene Krupa's drums that swung so hard, even Benny Goodman couldn't top it.

[@weevie833]

Came here from Dajae's "You Got Me Up" Underground Goodies Mix - 1993. If Benny ever knew, it would be intriguing to know how he felt about being sampled nearly 60 years after the fact. Or Gene, for that matter.

[@RUSTONE31]

I've been wondering from where they got the sample from for 25 years.

[@arnequis]

The last line at the very end was pronounced "He'sh Barnacle Bill the Shailor" -- the way a drunkard would pronounce "sailor." Not saying that the singer was drunk; more likely they were parodying the stereotype of the "drunken sailor." Thank you for uploading this; it's the best version of this song, in my opinion.

[@cha5]

Arnie Quis I thought in that very last bit there it sounded like he was saying “Barnicle Bill th’ shitterrrrrrrr.”🥴 But in a completely plastered drunk as a skunk manner.

[@dubbtubbdrum]

That was the all mighty Joe Venuti and one of his pranks.

[@josemarialacarra8554]

In Weirdo magazine n. 9, there's a story about Joe Venuti, by Tom Bertino, in which are told several pranks that Venuti did or used to do, being one of them the time he joined the vocal chorus in this piece to sing 'Barnacle Bill the SHITHEAD'.

[@arab6226]

Here because of Cajmere, what an incredible sample

[@ColonelMarcellus]

The old version, this one, has much more originality in the 1930s than the nasty versions we sang in the 1960s.

[@jhas888]

Hey, this is some ALL-STAR band. Check those names. And so hot and tight and full of cheer.

[@snackcakeman]

Had o idea that Hoagy Carmichael did this. Live and learn

[@VictrolaJazz]

One of my favorites--and I've read the $hitter story from Vic Berton's 1974 book, Remembering Bix. Oh yes, it's definite.

[@billysequins]

George Harrison mentions this recording one of his last interviews

[@lilfoet]

Here because of George.

[@garymazzeo3490]

I heard Olive Oyl sing this in a Popeye cartoon

[@fluffshepnetwork7067]

Harry Goodman's only tuba recording that I am aware of!

[@antoniod]

Part of this is sampled in the film PARTY GIRL.

[@richardlaine9994]

In case anyone missed it or can't make it out, the gruff bass voice at the very end of this record is that of violinist Joe Venuti, saying "He's Barnacle the s**thead." It's a wonder that got past the censors in 1930 and that the record was issued. Might have been lost...

[@nerkdurgen5574]

Wait'll you hear the original

[@TheWhiteMartinLutherKing]

Im here cuz of Bil The Fox Foster.. and the doo dah parade... This ones doo and this ones dah...

[@LibraryPervert]

Brit Mr. Kite meets kidsy-psychedelic Yellow Submarine meets jazzy Abbey Road. ... more than 30 years ahead of schedule.

[@elizabethtruman7164]

Ha ha 😂 great 👍

[@HooDatDonDar]

Who's that knocking at my door Who's that knocking at my door Who's that knocking at my door Cried the fair young maiden It's only me from over the sea Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'll sail the sea until I croak I fight and swear and drink and smoke But I can't swim a bloody stroke Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor Are you young and handsome, sir Are you young and handsome, sir Are you young and handsome, sir Cried the fair young maiden I'm old and rough and dirty and tough Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I drink my gin, I dip my snuff Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I drink my whiskey when I can Whiskey from an old tin can For whiskey is the life of man Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'll come down and let you in I'll come down and let you in I'll come down and let you in Cried the fair young maiden Well, hurry before I bust in the door Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'll cuss and fuss and rant and roar Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'll spin you yarns and tell you lies I'll drink your wine and eat your pies I'll kiss your cheek and black your eyes Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor Sing me a love song low and sweet Sing me a love song low and sweet Sing me a love song low and sweet Cried the fair young maiden Sixteen men on a dead man's chest Sang Barnacle Bill the Sailor Yo heave ho and a bottle of rum Sang Barnacle Bill the Sailor Oh, hi-rig-a-jig and a jaunting car (sic) A-hi-a-ho what are you most done (sic) Hooray my boys for the ????? run (sic) Sang Barnacle Bill the Sailor Tell me that we soon shall wed Tell me that we soon shall wed Tell me that we soon shall wed Cried the fair young maiden I've got me a wife in every port Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor The handsome gals is what I court Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor With my false heart and flatterin' tongue I courts 'em all both old and young I courts 'em all, but marries none Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor When shall I see you again When shall I see you again When shall I see you again Cried the fair young maiden Never again, I'll come no more Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor Tonight I'm sailin' from the shore Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor If you wait for me to come Settin' and waitin' and suckin' your thumb You'll wait until the day of your doom Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor Good-bye!

[@HooDatDonDar]

And remember to see the Betty Boop cartoon. There is also a Popeye one, but Boop is better!

[@HooDatDonDar]

Some lines omitted here. But there are more complete versions.

[@binklebabe4725]

My husband used to sing an R-rated version of this to me. We just listened to the X-rated version from waaaay back when. The "fair young maiden" is sweet and G-rated, the sailor is crude, sexist and mysogynistic.

[@HooDatDonDar]

Your point being?

[@HooDatDonDar]

I think that version was a comic song - that is, you are supposed to laugh at Bill for being a lowlife. We sung the x version in summer camp. It was gross, but not as you describe. What is your version?

[@cdbpdx]

@JCJasion I believe you're right - at 1:27

[@JeriGillam]

Not quite the John Valby version but very suggestive for 1930..

[@rockystone1821]

I'm also here to hear what George was listening too, I'm a popeye fan , this music is very similar.

[@dancingshiva7008]

This is very similar to the one I listened to growing up. The style seems the same, but the one I'm trying to find was longer. I'm close, though! Update: Maybe this is the one.

[@beerybill]

Allegedly, Venuti, at the close, actually says "Barnacle Bill the shithead." Sounds like it.

[@Edwin48100]

Yes, you are correct!

[@mck-qt7hu]

George Harrison brought me here❤

[@Vegavox]

Beiderbecke... not Beiderbeck! :-)

[@MaraNunez-ep7my]

George ❤❤❤😂😂😂

[@asnark7115]

Spoiler alert: This is the clean version.

[@josephmorales3745]

Did they say Barnacle Bill the Shitter?

[@kaspafischer]

or shithead... LOL

[@elgercee]

It's clear that he says "Barnicle Bill the "shailor>"

[@yrockerboy]

1:43

[@catespice]

Anyone here because of Jimmy Jaspers?

[@falcon81701]

[@petef7323]
