Caveman - Invention of Music

Behold as man discovers music!

[@MariAnKenobi]

I love the fact that even as a caveman, Ringo Starr is a drummer

[@deepdive35]

What do you mean that's rungo storr

[@lacinecotina866]

he invented drumers

[@futurefind674]

​@deepdive35 What do YOU mean, that's a CAVE MAN! 😂

[@ladyv5655]

Must be his ancestor.

[@leslawrence3865]

Actually… music is based on rhythm… drumming. Even a cappella music without instruments is based on rhythm so drumming is in the minds of the singers

[@jeffr7752]

True story. I was in the Army and carrying a case of MREs and some other crap across the desert to my hummer and immediately thought of this movie. So rather than being some hard-a$$ tough guy, I started humming this song. But what was funny was that as I walked by the other vehicles, someone yelled out, "Dude! That's the theme from Caveman!" then started singing along. Ironically, a couple days later, the guy would be assigned to be my Squad Leader and ended up being a pretty good friend. Now, try to imagine a hummer gun-truck cruising by with a bunch of grunts humming the theme to Caveman. Needless to say, I think Ringo would be proud.

[@nikolasproctor7061]

An acquaintance of mine is in the navy and he said the day after south park aired their game of thrones parody that half the ship was singing the parody song which if you’ve ever heard you can imagine the other half of the crew rolling on the deck laughing their butts off.

My favorite scene in the movie. I know it’s a comedy but something about this scene always had this serious tone to me. What would it have been like to hear our ancestors first songs. When we realized we can make music! The first songs were probably the most beautiful

This movie is pure gold not just because of it's humor and storytelling but due to it's diversity as well, caveman has all of the ingredients for all to enjoy!!!

[@kirkdarling4120]

I don't think the word "diversity" was even in general use in 1981, and several of these stereotypes, such as the brainy Asian, were totally new. This movie was at least a decade ahead of its time.

[@simpl456]

Anyway, never saw it until about 6 to 8 years later on a rental. Since that time, I got it on vhs, still have that copy, and dvd later on.
