Bing Sings "You Don't Have to Know the Language"

Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters perform "You Don't Have to Know the Language" in Road to Rio (1947). Note Bob Hope's helpful assist.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

The four of them have such insanely good chemistry it’s ridiculous

[@gregorymcguire6217]

You can't get any better then Bing and the Andrews Sisters.

@thesilverspider ABAA Andrews, Bing, Andrews, Andrews

[@russellcampbell9198]

No, you can't.

[@stephenogden5470]

True!

[@gazza2933]

You couldn't put a price on their talent. The sound of the forties. Both sides of the Atlantic. Many thanks for this. 👍 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

[@geoffm9944]

The wonderfully talented Andrew Sisters. Their uncanny and delightful harmony as singers was a joy to listen to.

[@davidlejenkins]

The Andrews Sisters are constantly killing it in their backup roles. Their solo albums are phenomenal but music would not be the same without them supporting the vocal powerhouses that they did.

[@lenhummel5614]

Oh my my my THE TALENT during that Golden Era❗

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

My sister, dad and I saw this movie about a year or more ago and we all were freaking out and so excited when we saw Bing AND the Andrews Sisters singing. One of the coolest movie scenes I’ve ever seen.

[@musicgirl999]

There is absolutely nothing like this anymore 😔

[@oldtoby9377]

Very smooth. Nothing beats Bing and The Andrews Sisters

[@TheReneex]

One of the great vocal combos; Bing Crosby and the Andrews sisters. Delightful musical number from 1947's Road To Rio!.

[@mitzymum3mitzymum349]

My eyes were totally drawn to Bing he was smooth classy and handsome. The Andrews Sisters were also amazing performers.

[@CliffMcAulay]

Wow! Such talent from Bing and the girls. He was a nifty mover and remembered all the schtick he had to do. The Bob Hope gag was a masterclass in how to make a lot from the briefest appearance. This was such a treat, I know the film we will be watching tonight. Thank you nicoley.

[@larrydewein5078]

Bing was the BEST VOICE EVER!!

[@romanlegionhare2262]

When Bing asks if that eye was the good one, I don't think that was planned, watch LaVerne, especially when Patty comes back with the quick response.

[@filmcashew]

I know, the adlibs were better than what was written...bing was excellent at sticking jazz talk into his recordings...just compare his record of Is you is or is you aint my baby with anyone elses version...its wild what words he snuck in...haaaahaaa

[@lilac749]

Man, if only I could have met Bing and the Andrews sisters 🥹❤

Remembering Bing Crosby born on May 3, 1903. He was an American singer and actor. The first multimedia star, he was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century worldwide. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing_Crosby

[@bobhopesstupidhats]

THIS. This right here. This is the stuff. All that skill and wit and charm and class and chemistry smashed into a one-off scene in a series movie. They made it look as easy as cracking a smile. What an era.

Ah the days when the actors had to be talented not just pretty faces!! Dancing, singing and acting all roled into the best.

[@iampinball3669]

The only prerequisites for acting back then was literally looking pretty, being able to sing, and being able to copy a transatlantic accent.

Maxene was the looker of the trio. Patty hammed it up.

[@ihatey0utube]

And Laverne was the funny one! In all the movies, shows and skits The Andrews Sisters are in, Laverne usually has all the hilarious lines! What they all have in common is that they're all amazing at singing and dancing!

How wonderful. So much talent. Watch Bing and how much funny stuff he does. I often wonder how much of his stuff is choreographed. If you haven't already seen Road to Casablanca do so. With Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. Their chemistry is incredible.

[@Tumbledweeb]

@@Thomasnmi Did you know that she was gay? As a gay woman myself, I find that an awesome fact to share.

[@RichardWheeler-kw7mk]

These were icons of their era. Even as a kid, I loved Bob Hope movies. I actually was entranced with my mom's Bing Crosby record, which I played on her record player. I heard the Andrew Sisters on the radio, which my mom always had playing in the kitchen. To me, the current environment is screwy and completely lacks common sense. I've voted Democratic in the past, but no more. I guess I'm a conservative, if I treasure the good things about our country and forgive the bad. We have lots more good things to celebrate than bad. I notice the traffic seems to be from there to here. Not many illegals are sneaking into China. People voting with their feet come here. God bless our country and save it from idiots!

[@JavierRivera-gm2gm]

😅LIKE if you are watching this in 2023

[@70sRockNRoller]

I just LOVE Patty's Ankle Bracelet (which she seemed to wear a lot). They're so sexy on woman. Too bad not many wear them anymore. No disrespect to Bing. But, was anyone watching him during this performance?? The girls are so wonderful that he kind of disappears in the foreground (other than his brief solo dance) and it's hard to take your eyes off of them. :)

[@beatnikrampage6969]

+70sRockNRoller I have noticed that ankle bracelet as well.

[@70sRockNRoller]

+BeatnikRampage The funny thing is: I wrote this shortly after becoming a full-on Andrews Sisters fan and hadn't been exposed to much of their material at that point. I didn't realize (as I do now) that all 3 of the girls wore Ankle Bracelets regularly. It's hard to see in Black and White film, though. I can't wait to see the rest of their films. So far, just this one and Buck Privates, Hold That Ghost and In The Navy. It's hard to find their movies these days.

[@beatnikrampage6969]

SLAYER was my favorite group for 28yrs, I'm 45. 3yrs ago I had the pleasure of becoming a full fledged Sisters fan, I'm new to the scene as well. Honestly, my life has become more relaxed now that I listen to them daily (getting old I guess). I know you can find the other movies on amazon/ebay for about $15 a pop.

[@70sRockNRoller]

+BeatnikRampage Wow! From Slayer to the Andrews Sisters. That's quite a jump! :) As you can probably tell from my avatar, I'm a huge KISS fan (the original lineup) and have been since 1977. I like a lot of their non-makeup stuff, too. But, I don't like this Tribute band they're going around as now. Anyway, I agree. The Andrews Sisters music is very relaxing and uplifting and has helped me get though the bad days. You just can't help but feel good after listening to/watching them perform one of their songs. I love Patty's spirit and playfulness. I Love them all. But, Patty's my favorite. :) I'm know I could get those other movies from E-bay or Amazon.com. But, I'm hoping that someone remasters them like they did with Buck Privates, Hold That Ghost and In The Navy. I'd only want to buy their other movies if it were a good, clean copy.

[@craigdixon4113]

70sRockNRoller I use to know a girl who wore an ankle bracelet, it had engraved on it...”Heaven’s Above” Sweet girl, she taught me great things.

Supposing you need a vacation Brazil is the place you should be But you don't understand What they're saying Or you can't read a sign that you see But, you don't have to know the language With the moon in the sky And the girl in your arms And a look in her eyes You stop at the Copacabana With the Sugar Loaf mountain in view So the words on the menu mean nothing You can't ask a soul what to do But, you don't have to know the language With the moon in the sky And the girl in your arms And a look in her eyes When she smiles your way What more would you want anyone to say So you sigh, just sigh You don't have to mention That Yankee phrase: "Ay, ay" Perhaps when you end your vacation You bring back a bit of Brazil So you can't understand What she's saying You need an interpreter still But you don't have to know the language If you don't want to say good-bye With the moon in the sky And a girl in your arms And a look in her eyes No you don't have to know You don't have to know The language isn't necessary 'Cause the meaning doesn't very The language isn't necessary When she smiles your way What more would you want anyone to say So you sigh just sigh You don't have to mention That Yankee phrase: "Ay, Ay" So perhaps when you end your vacation You bring back a bit of Brazil But you can't understand What she's saying You need an interpreter still But you don't have to know the language If you don't want to say good-bye

I can see that the Andrew sisters had different fathers. You can tell that they don't look like they are related to one another. That is because they don't have the same father. The middle Andrew sister was also a Lesbian, which isn't good.

[@Tristan_SingsJazz]

First of all... maxene the one on the right was a lesbian. And is completely fine by me. Seems like she was happier with her female agent than any guy. Second they are related. 3rd being homosexual is completely fine. You just have to grow up pal.
