Dean Martin & Roger Miller - Dang Me/Husbands & Wives

[@allenelman1233]

I knew Roger very well. NEVER has anyone made me laugh so hard. AND Yet, He had an extremely sensitive heart. I NOW KNOW the funniest People have the Biggest hearts, i.e., hearts of GOLD. Joan Rivers is another one.

[@caroltaylor9853]

Roger made his mark. He is missed.

[@steveshepard4145]

ROGER MILLER, wrote song for so many artists, and yet sang his own music, he was one of the THE GREATEST WRITERS AND SINGERS OF ALL TIMES!!!😊❤👍🇺🇲🇨🇱🏴‍☠️

[@Poleson]

@Allen Elman, you are so fortunate to have known Roger. He is one of the few celebrities I wish I could have met and gotten to know. I'd just love to know what made him tick, and hear some late night stories from him. I was lucky enough to meet and have a chat with Kris Kristofferson before a gig a few years ago but I never had the sense to ask him about Roger. One of my few regrets!

[@adamfelix6659]

You were truly blessed

[@modernarchive7502]

I've read some of the funny things he said and I never forget them. Police Officer: Can I see your driver's license? Roger: Sure. Can I play with your gun? Friend: Did you hear? So-and-so was born again. Roger: That must have been hard on his mother Roger: My education was Korea, Clash of ’52 Any thoughts of writing a book about your friendship with Mr. Miller?

[@jeffdawson2786]

Roger was a natural songwriter with a lot of heart. The fact that he was so popular is a testament to how different the country and the world were back then. The stuff that sells now is heartless and angry. Hopefully that’s changing with younger artists.

[@arnoldfaustino9449]

It's 2020 and still watching them.. They're good together..acting very natural...two very talented men...rip to both.

[@aabaaaabaaa2534]

With Dean Martin, it's a wonder they didn't do Chug-A-Lug.

[@ShaddySoldier]

too obvious

[@dfangirl72]

Rude and uncalled for they were more than " drunks "

[@braydenyonts3758]

@@dfangirl72 Oh fuggetabout it! Great song and great talent, both, huh? You can't say that Chug-a-lug isn't a great tune, can you?

2:48 "Don't drink it Dean, it's just water...." I died.

[@lutherlewis6792]

I met Roger in Nashville when my Uncle, Fred Foster, and I went to a person’s home where musicians occasionally gathered. Roger came in and in the course of conversation said he had recorded a song that day that was going to be a big hit. He said if it wasn’t a hit he was going to pack it up and go to Texas. Someone said get your guitar and sing it for us. He went out to his car, came back with his guitar, sat down and played and sang “King of the Road”. We all applauded. My Uncle Fred turned, looked at me and said “That’s it-the one Roger has been looking for; he won’t be going to Texas”.

[@madzzzporsche]

I hope this is true that would be amazing

[@corporalclegg914]

I baled hay with a grandson of Otis Redding, who told me many stories of Otis’ touring days. stories of the ole heroes of the music industry get around & got around because people were impacted by them on a large scale. too many stories have been lost or held to secrecy, too

[@brycetonbennett9346]

🎶it's a small world after all🎶 But that is legitimately awesome

[@arturodelcarmen3839]

I'm now 64 yrs old. I am familiar with this song. I love it. You've heard it from Roger Miller himself before it was recorded and aired on radio. That's amazing! ❤Philippines.

[@markhenry6486]

​@@madzzzporschetry really hard to assume that not everybody is lying. And then write your comment based on believing that what you just read is true.

Roger Miller is One of the all time greats.

[@consaka1]

+Dan Hawley You got that right. Wish we had this kind of talent today.

[@waynejohanson1083]

+Dan Hawley I agree. So underrated.

[@LenHummelChannel]

they were both very different kind of genius. missed. HUSBANDS & WIVES is a very under-rated song.

[@aaroncampbell8303]

God I miss talent.

[@TheLTD_]

Matthew Stavrowsky Brad Paisley is close to a Roger I think.

[@anniejuan5143]

Can't get this kind of entertainment anymore, love them both

[@StellarFella]

Social commentary through lyrics was super intense back then in 68. The reality behind personal pride embodied in the song "Husbands and Wives" and "Mr. Business Man" by Ray Stevens was as strong as anything coming from the Beatles or Dylan.

[@Troubleshooter125]

Find me a talent like Roger Miller in the here and now. You're liable to be looking a while, and you might find that you're looking in vain ... because the man was a one-off and no mistake, as well as being a singular treasure. We miss you, Roger.

[@tommypetersen2540]

Roger was brilliant but Dean also had a much wider range that people give him credit for.

[@jamesevins800]

The whole drunken bit was just that. It was an act. Dean Martin was a serious performer. Roger Miller was a genius. I miss this caliber of artistry. I am only 54 years old and I am bored stiff with todays so called talent.

[@StellarFella]

I am 63 and get bored stiff too when I watch the so called music during the Oscars, the Emmys, and the Super Bowl halftime. And most everywhere else these days.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Roger Miller was the definition of a "Stinker"! Well - that made 2 of a Kind right there. Had to be one of the best liked guys in the business - was on everyone's friends list - from Waylon, Wille to Dean and Frank - The man has that "Charles Groden look" (slight smile - eyes and mouth - You just know he's been up to no-good) The very kind of man that I was always attracted to - and BFFs w as well - God Bless those Stinkers - Life would have just stale w/o em! ;-)

[@TheKiller-yh3pi]

Well they may look similar but Roger’s schtick at its worst was still a lot funnier than Charlie Grodin at his best haha! Seriously though as many times as I’ve seen Grodin on Johnny Carson, he’s not that funny at least insofar as improv type-of stuff goes..decent actor though sure I’ll give him that.

[@StellarFella]

Glen Campbell, Ray Stevens, and Roger Miller were red hot in 68.

[@marybetz1775]

MILLER, WAS SO TALENTED. BOTH TOGETHER, IS SUPER. LOVE ❤️ THEM BOTH. R I P. YOU ARE SO MISSED

[@jimadkins6185]

We were lucky to have heard these guys preform

[@jimrick6632]

ACTUALLY MARTIN DID NOT DRINK LIKE HE PRESENTED HIMSELF...A JOKE THAT ISN'T SO FUNNY TODAY...

[@JesseDoyle81]

They are hilarious and I think I love the fact they are opening getting sloshed on tv, in a classic fashion though. People don't have they subtlety and coyness nowadays.

[@christhedrpepperreviewer3978]

They weren't drinking. Dean Martin never drank in public.

[@bobmalone4519]

great talent.ok roger what is surpel?

[@Sygnus_49]

+bob malone A bit of creativity I guess. He's said "maple surple/surpel" instead of "maple syrup". Hope that makes sense?

[@RyanLake185]

+bob malone I think he meant syrup but surple rhymed with purple so maybe he made up his own word

[@patriotpatriot473]

Surple...The only word I ever heard that rhymed with purple.

[@roadkill1811]

Easy one! It does in-fact mean syrup. I heard this one all the time growing up. My parents, who were young adults when "Dang Me" was released, said it all the time. So did their friends. All of whom had grown up in East Tennessee during the 50's and 60's. Incidentally, Miller was starting his career out of Nashville in the mid 50's, fresh from the Army and Korea. If I had to venture a guess, I'd wager it was a term Miller picked up from his time living in Tennessee
