Brad's First Time Listening To Frank Sinatra 🎵 That's Life Reaction

[@philiparonson8315]

Sinatra was a master of being able to phrase a song. He knew how to split up the words of a song to make them more meaningful, fit the rhythm, and really improve the overall experience. He could make an OK song good, a good song great, and a great song a classic. He didn’t have the greatest range, but he more than made up for it as a genius at musical expression.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

That "Rat Pack" slang from that era is great too.

[@glennwalker5700]

Well said

[@michaelkorsten1066]

One of the greatest voices ever... maybe the greatest.

[@brentparks2292]

There were a lot of great crooners, Frank was just one of the smoothest people, definition of cool. Bing, Dean, Frank, Andy, just loads of great voices back then.

[@peterjon2758]

GOAT

[@smashleyscott8272]

One of the very best crooners. He and Bing Crosby.

[@PastPositive]

I’d say Bruno Mars has the greatest voice, Frank comes close 2nd in my book though, Bruno’s is just a gift from god, straight up.

[@brooklynmysticaldiva4729]

Hands down! Absolutely 💯!!!

[@inklanois]

I've been helping take care of my 95 year old grandpa one day a week, and we sit and listen to old LPs. Really blowing my mind how good they are. Patti Page, Patsy Cline, Frank, Gene Autry. Those generations of the 1900s made some amazing music.

[@StonefieldJim4]

❤

[@jcompton8507]

Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr...there are sooooo many amazing singers from those days. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, my parents mostly listened to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Queen, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Janet, Whitney, Celine Dion, etc., but as teenagers in the 90s/early 2000s, my siblings and I were listening to...well...everything we could get our hands on! (Thank you, Napster!)

[@missd9785]

Not my era either but Big Band/Swing music is my favorite.

[@shirleycameron7718]

Love.. love this song.....yeah.....!!!!!!

[@TheOriginalRick]

Several years ago I put together a bunch of mix CDs of all those artists and their best songs for my elderly mother-in-law. She loved listening to them over and over and over. Her caretakers would make sure she could listen to them all the time. It made her happy, and that made my wife very happy also. During her wake a few months ago they had the CDs playing in the background for everyone to enjoy.

[@rickyrivera7178]

She loves metal guitars…loving Sinatra is the icing in the cake…so many great ones from Sinatra…i love “It was a very good year”

[@Mr_Dopey]

This girl Lex's enthusiasm is infectious.

[@GrimrDirge]

6:00 Brad. My Dude. This is called humor. The song has a positive message, but isn't taking itself seriously. It's not advocating, it's not preaching, it's just expressing with a dash of humor.

[@react2reactions246]

This is it. It’s old timey playfulness, that’s all. But you’re right, Brad, suicide wasn’t the issue it became, or at least it wasn’t as much in the public consciousness.

[@GrimrDirge]

@@deminybs is...is this relevant to me?

[@adrock889]

Why are you harping on his interpretation, who tf cares

[@lilblock3564]

@@adrock889 Obviously people care otherwise people wouldnt be commenting about it. What a dumb comment.

[@UnsoberIdiot]

It's heartwarming to see her enjoying the music so much. I wish I could be this happy.

[@bradleyflinn3421]

Lex is so fun. I heard this song for the first time watching License To Drive with one of the Coreys and it started my love of all things things Frank. I do think this is his best song.

[@piercedpalette3849]

Especially Christmas time - Frank, Bing, Burl, B.B., you name it, nothing but jazz and blues...

[@cheryljohnson733]

I've loved Frank Sinatra for as long as I can remember. He always sets the mood for whatever you are looking for. Thx for sharing his music. This excellence should not be lost.

[@13terapyn]

Some people get off pissing in your coffee. They beg to be ignored. The two of you are so refreshing. You're making the world a smarter place one subscriber and post at a time

[@donchaffins1313]

Dean Martin - Ain't That a Kick in the Head!

[@alexc7857]

i think that line; roll myself up into a ball and die is more so a line that drops an emotional bomb of the end of the climax to add emphasis on the acceptance of a loss; rather than a literal death, however with all art forms the lyrics are up to interpretation

[@annaoswald5943]

Now you're really going back and Lex says she has some more? Cannot wait. I wonder if Frankie Valli & the 4 seasons is in Lex's music catalog?

[@christopherhylton8462]

Sinatra was a rare talent. To this day, he is still easily recognized by his nickname, "Ole Blues Eyes".

[@renaerolley5670]

Or Chairman of the Board

[@juliobarreiro7345]

The master the best ever nobody better than him. The Voice.

[@JJM3rd]

They recorded the first take of this song, and Sinatra ended it with “Oh yeah!” The producer asked him to record another take. Sinatra was known as “One-Take Sinatra” because he could come in and nail a song on the first take. Having to record another take annoyed him, so he sang the second take with a bit of attitude in his voice, and ended it with a defiant “My my!” directed towards the producer. The second take is the famous one and why he has so much attitude in his singing.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Then the producer did him a favor. Instead of TELLING" him to sing with attitude, [Which may have caused Sinatra to walk out as he was often known to be easily annoyed at any given moment] he MADE him sing with attitude by saying "We need a second take". Perhaps it was accidental genius, but worth it. Plus, "My, my" rhymes better with "July" than "Oh Yeh."

[@straddz]

Thank you for bringing forward this information, this was new to me. Wow!

[@annaoswald5943]

I've been missing the cleverly edited 1 or 2 second close ups of funny facial reactions during the videos of late. They bring attention to both of you, it was a reason I started following your channel. It gives viewers a quick little glimpse of your personalities.

[@BradAndLex]

Ohh no way!! I didn’t know anyone actually cared haha 😍🥰 thank you for pointing that out!

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

I'll definitely take more close ups of Lex (she fiiiine). You're a good looking dude, too, Brad, but ya' know.

[@CGVan420]

Sounds like Lex's parents had some great taste in music. Lex, get Brad on a steady diet of classic jazz and blues and it won't be long before he'll find himself with a playlist of this "old" sounding music.

[@thewalkingdude7464]

I just love her reaction, priceless, I mean it.

[@campnou69]

Oooh. Getting into Jazz and Blues is a great journey. So many great songs and messages out there. If you would like to dip your toes with a happier tune, try "Blue Skies" by Ella Fitzgerald or "Smile" by Nat King Cole. Also, one of the best songs IMHO to snuggle in a rainy day would be "Isn't This A Lovely Day" by Ella and Louis.

[@sfitz2000]

I really enjoy y’all’s videos. It’s fun to discover/rediscover music with y’all. As a local musician it makes feel good about playing when I see how much you enjoy all these songs. Thank you!!!

[@brandonscott4904]

Love Frank Sinatra. Was my dirty little secret in my 20s. Used to listen to his greatest hits everywhere I went. DO THEM ALL!

[@pfcampos7041]

Always love it when folks can appreciate Frank! My folks were huge fans (esp. dad) so lots of wonderful memories. Do more Frank please.😁👏💗

[@JasonTBell]

David Lee Roth covered this song after Van Halen. DLR also covered Just a Gigalo - which is a trip. You should check them out as continuation of the nostalgia with a little more modern recording tech.

[@johncondry]

I second this.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Leave it to Diamond Dave to nail that one!

[@CGVan420]

I haven't heard his cover of this song, but his cover of Just a Gigalo was gold.

[@NZLatic]

Diamond Dave real had the feel and voice for swing music.

[@91GT347]

Theyre both 🔥 Dave is always a good time

[@virginiadurant8391]

I'm with you Lex, I love this song too.

[@2explore1]

Here is what I like about how the two of you balance out each other. Brad, you are a cognitive person and think deeply into a song's messages and lyrics. therefore, if a song message is a little weird, sad, upsetting, you tend to interpret that message inwardly deeply making it a little harder to enjoy the whole theme. I know because sometimes music effects me this way too. Lex on the underhand hears the same lyrics, but playfully handles them and able to enjoy a little more freedom in music expression. At times I do get in this mood especially with awesome instruments or voices in the song. That said: Lex loves you and laughs along with some of your expressions. You balance each out very well. And both of you add an enjoyable take on music. Keep the video's coming.

[@BradAndLex]

Thanks for your thoughtful take on our videos Michael! 🙏🏽❤️

[@AbeWiessman]

You can tell immediately when it went south for Brad just by the look of disappointment on his face 🤣 He was all in till the end. 😂😂😂 ... what about August?

[@CCDzine]

Plenty of folks have great singing voices but the genius of Frank is the delivery, the timing.

[@ClifHaley]

I could listen to Frank nonstop all day.

[@gregrambo606]

"They can't take that away from me." The song that demonstrates how great he was on vocals. It's only 2 minutes long though, so you'll have lots of discussion time after.

[@dylanblue2271]

Brad, respect to you for enjoying this and enjoying the message. You need to get past this thing of 'modern' music. It's just all music. You can just bump whatever you want. Just enjoy what you enjoy and don't worry about what people think. Listen to the instruments, that incredible voice of his and let it transport you. Get out of this hip hop bubble. (PS I like hip hop, so it's not a criticism)

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

So many people don't understand how timeless certain things are. People have been singing, dancing, making music, loving, killing, and dying for _hundreds of thousands_ of years. There is no such thing as new.

[@christinavigorandmoxie]

OK I'm new to you but you two are the fricking cutest. Not even going to lie, Lex, your reactions to some old school music is priceless. :) This is the music I was brought up on (no I'm not that old) but my parents made sure I had allllll walks of life in music. Best to you and I'm subbing!

[@TheTygertiger]

Cool, Lex digs Ol’ Blue Eyes! Me too! I grew up watching old Hollywood classics so I got to know this kind of music. Do you guys know Frank Capra movies like It’s A Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington? They have very valuable messages for our time.

[@i.r.drummer]

The modern equivalent of this would probably be Michael Buble.
