Elvis Presley - Old McDonald Had a Farm

Elvis in 'Double Trouble'

[@sare1969]

I really don't care what anybody says, Elvis could have sang the alphabet and I would have loved it, so please don't argue people over what you think you know, this is about his music not things he did or didn't do, He is and always will be the king of rock n roll no matter what!!!

[@barbarawright1302]

I love this version! Elvis singing for children means i can play it for my daycare children and educate them on who Elvis was.

[@workingman9179]

Elvis was best singer ever. Shows his talent to do anything.

[@TheGodParticle]

Jesus christ, what in gods name made elvis sink to these depths, somebody must have been blackmailing him.

[@_Conzo_]

Not to forget the fact that Elvis performed a total of one hundred and fifty four concerts in 1974. Elvis was no saint, but he did everything to please his fans.

[@mrmusickhimself]

I can't stop laughing when I imagine an angry Elvis -- glaring at Col. Tom Parker and growing angrier as he sings. You can definitely hear the passive aggressiveness through his amazing voice.

[@sare1969]

Elvis blew us all way, it never mattered about the scripts, it's what they did back in the day, I just sit back and enjoy, he was and still is (dead or not) Awsome!!!

[@adamalanhenderson9369]

still better than modern music

[@Amibingus]

im here beacuse of the video if a guy that watched all elvis movies

[@jamesyboy41]

if ye don't like it don't listen to it. Me, i think it's brilliant

[@gladysvorster7719]

He is still so young and beautiful in this picture.i miss him really .

[@mariamariscal5616]

Que bárbaro Elvis cantó de todo , ni esta canción para niños se le escapó 😄

[@rayadkins9890]

LOVE IT...........ALWAYS ELVIS

[@colbystearns5238]

It really speaks to Elvis’ talent and charm that even something this lazy and dull can still be somewhat engaging to listen to. This is as close as I’ve seen anyone “singing the phone book” and still making something work out of it. If it were anyone else this would have been a spectacular flop, but Elvis really knew how to make lemonade out of lemons. Still, I’m glad he had the ‘68 Comeback Special after this.

[@readsomebooks666]

In answer to all your questions: I believe the King was paid $750,000 and 40% of the profits to do this movie. That's why he's singing Old MacDonald.

[@readsomebooks666]

And this was in 1967.

[@andrewbutler7044]

+readsomebooks666 it was filmed in 66

[@readsomebooks666]

Andrew Butler Same damn difference.

[@andrewbutler7044]

+readsomebooks666 👍

[@josephdlist]

This is the greatest Elvis song ever!!

[@omardiaz3557]

My infancy song. Thanks elvis. You are 🤴🎸🎶

[@TaureDawn]

Polarized? Nobody is perfect! We all do good and bad. So yes one can love someone and at the same time you can't stand some of the things they say or do. What you love about someone others can't stand and at the same time the things you despise in someone someone else will love. We are both good and bad as I said: Again NOBODY is perfect (including Elvis Presley). ----> Happy Birthday Elvis.

[@Marakesh7]

Love it.

[@AleKenya]

The King.

[@MVillani1985]

Man, that Annette Day was a real cutie! Such a dazzling smile! And from what I've heard, a real sweetheart, too. She was IMO the prettiest of all the actresses (except for maybe Ann Margaret) that starred opposite Elvis. I would have gladly sang the whole Mother Goose songbook if it meant co-starring with Annette Day, (can you tell I've always had a wee bit of a crush on her? LOL). But seriously, was she in any other films? I only remember her being in this one.

[@lukebonelb]

Elvis went home and smashed up graceland after this scene saying thay got me on a dam poultry truck singing old mc Donald

[@stevepaul6955]

I can't believe the King was forced to sing this song. Is it any wonder He hated doing these movies.

[@johnbarry1965]

He should have stood up to the old carny bloodsucker!!!

[@ericandy88]

The Colonel made sure Elvis never knew he was the one who held all the cards & kept him in the dark the whole time. He also played on Elvis's constant fear of going back to being poor again if he did not do as he was told. Colonel was a master manipulator, pure & simple.

[@jimmyboy7817]

Either Elvis was reduced to singing a kid's song or a kid's song was now elevated to being an Elvis song making it more cool to sing.

[@barbarawright1302]

Kid's song was elevate to AN ELVIS SONG! LOVE THIS VERSION

[@JohnnySpell]

Regardless, Elvis even made this look cool.

[@ruthbashford3176]

Elvis wasn't happy about singing this song......according to Priscilla that is. Shows how good his acting was as he looks as if he's really enjoying himself

[@BadfingerBoogieBarb]

Nobody forced him to do it.

[@charlescampuz5812]

BadfingerBoogieBarb You know they contract you when you play a major character in a film, right?

[@jimwalsh2001]

Sitting in back of a chicken truck in a white sport coat...and it's PRISTINE, not a smudge to be found. Ya gotta love it...

[@kevinceniceros1690]

I truly bet that Elvis Presley regretted singing Old MacDonald Had a Farm.

[@dadoctah]

No more than Paul McCartney regretted singing Mary Had A Little Lamb.

[@EsenbekAliev_]

Why though

[@joemixon834]

Not for the money he was making for doing it though

[@mrmusickhimself]

He actually sounds pissed near the end. Apparently he stormed out after recording it.

[@Giovanni0Giorgio]

Ohhhh god google never lies

[@ReiTaiji]

Прекрасен ❤

[@STRONGMAN415]

Elvis claimed this was the most humiliating scene of his career walking off the screen twice till Tom Parker brought him back .

[@smcollins329]

i SOME HOw REMEBER AN ACTUAL ALBUM WHEN i WAS A KID.

[@KaBoomChannel]

This is what every Taylor Swift and Justine Bieber song sounds like to me,

[@damienf.7543]

this is hilarious

[@johnbarry1965]

The only reason Presley recorded this was" Ba Ba black sheep" was unavailable!!!!

[@user-nw1vg9qb1v]

this is how i got my little sister into elvis

[@jodyhoskins6409]

This is great, should outrage every vegan every where lol

[@SyriusStarMultimedia]

Do not try this at home. You will fall into the street, break a bone or two, possibly get ran over by a distracted driver and you will never finish Old McDonald Had A Farm.

[@vasilisanazarova9445]

They are funny!

[@antoniod]

This works better in the film(in context)than on the record.

[@renatejohansen9008]

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny Elvis presly 😂

[@stevenscottoddballz]

I'm hard of hearing. Could someone tell me the lyrics, so I can enjoy this video more?

[@listerine414]

Hahahah

[@HomeAtLast501]

Poor guy.

[@JimPigMuseumOfSound]

The soundtrack to this was released the same day as The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper".

[@joneysugar8083]

And what?

[@123weslyn]

to Luke...and you know this how??? It is true that he was totally embarassed by most ALL his movies. But he being the honorable man that he was, he stuck by his contract til he was free to go and sing again to kive audiences.

[@MVillani1985]

Yeah, I don't think he would have done something like that either, but he did get upset finding out he had to do nursery rhymes with his exact quote being "What?! It's come to THIS?!". I think it was the straw that broke the camel's back in persuading him to get out of the movie business.

[@glynncrom3215]

not how elvis wanted to be remembered.he actually insisted this song never went on the soundtrack...but it did..as idiotic as it is that someone somewhere thought " i know.lets get elvis to sing old madonald........"look at the effort elvis put into this....its sounds good,his voice is pure and soulful,but what a waste of a decent actor who given the right scripts could have blown us away...elvis..36 years on...still rockin it....good man elvis

[@barbarawright1302]

Its a memory for Elvis's grandkids

[@EsenbekAliev_]

Why everyone is saying he regret it? Or he didn't want to sing it?

[@randomstuff7533]

He hated the original version of this song. Why would you like it anyways? How do you know what Old McDonald had in his Farm? You weren't there..

[@Melissasignal69]

Thanks to the power of pig. The power of pig the power of pig

[@emptyspotlight]

let's see. Elvis sang old McDonald, John Lennon has an unreleased demo out there of she'll be coming round the mountain, paul McCartney and wings did mary had a little lamb. ok then...

[@fabzlab1980]

Fuck it let him sing on his dialogue

[@lwatterson68]

get the f he could amaze them all

[@listerine414]

He took money but didnt care for his reputation.....he should have been ashamed of himself. He became a clown .....well deserved title.

[@arsonistired]

I feel so ducking bad for him ugh they had to make it up of tons of clips cuz he was furious

[@kevinceniceros1690]

+Jessi Prezley I read that Elvis stormed out of the recording studio, right after he sang that song. He was furious about it.

[@BadfingerBoogieBarb]

Sure he was. That's why he kept making these awful films with the awful songs.

[@ltyr-mr2if]

I love Elvis. This is terrible!

[@inezfeytons1764]

No I love it

[@mapachehombre1581]

Must of been excruciating for Elvis "Ole Mcdonald,,,,Christ Sakes 🙄

[@glynncrom3215]

elvis wasnt lazy..he was tied into a movie contract by parker that he could not get out of....and when he did get out of it wht happened...the 68 comeback and then vegas,,,then 2 shows a day....29 days on the trot...lazy?????? no man ur wrong

[@gowestward1]

Sometimes I can't help but think that SOB Parker played Elvis for a fool....using him for easy cash.

[@flossierichard1443]

Elvis made everything cool

[@XxKissesandHugsxX]

What the heck!!!! Is he 4 years old?

[@XxKissesandHugsxX]

LOL

[@Juan93oei]

No, he was forced to do it by the Coronel

[@elvisuk]

i agree. but then again sinatra sang this song aswell. the 2 greats of music reduced to this muck

[@rinodube8397]

So what it was fun what is the problem

[@neilpye6089]

Hamburger medium rare

[@marcusframe3822]

Pork and beans at night

[@glynncrom3215]

yea he was frustrating,why did he pour out the same songs each concert,apart from the odd bootleg like the hillbilly cat live or from chicago to tuscallosa the shows where identical,.was he lazy or did he give what we craved,better times,the good old days...i dont think lazy is the word...but i dont know what the word is....stuck maybe

[@jimmyblacksea3323]

This song is not for King of Rock and Roll

[@alduderhino7167]

OH how bad compared to the original...Flatt & Scruggs - Old McDonald Had A Farm (RARE!)

[@terryclarke4758]

Wtf

[@henrybyrd5402]

One of the unanswered mysteries of Elvis Presley's career was why he got drawn into such nonsense whilst making some excruciatingly bad films. He had enough money to say NO! Why didn't he?

[@generalstabssjef]

Well, Tom Parker said yes. And how often did Elivs say No to The Colonel?

[@elvisuk]

ref.throwing pool cues at ladies,a ridiculous statement.im thinking you read this from a VERY INFORMATIVE SOURCE.ie. goldman book.imo i think you are a very polarized induvidual

[@FearlessTommo]

WTF

[@claudiapicariello5813]

he's amazing singing everything, but I don't like this... He hated that song. he hated the most of the song he was forced to do while he was filming a movie. nothing compares with the other song... pure Magic!

[@BadfingerBoogieBarb]

He wasn't forced to do anything. Stop making excuses for him.

[@claudiapicariello5813]

He wasn't forced? He had a contract (made by the colonel) for a number of movies he had to do. But after some of them, realising how bad they were, he didn't want to do them anymore. In fact, as soon as he got out movie contract, he immediately started again with live exhibition! These are not excuse, this is history!

[@BadfingerBoogieBarb]

You are still making excuses. Parker negotiated the contract that Elvis signed of his own free will. Nobody forced Elvis to sign a multi film contract. Again, you can't blame Parker for Elvis' poor decisions. This is idiocy on your part! Elvis gladly signed. He liked being a movie star as well as all the money it made him. Elvis could have grabbed the bull by the horns at any time and taken control of the films he made. He couldn't be bothered. In the end, he did concert films to fulfill his obligation. His '60s and '70s live performances are nothing to brag about with the leather jump suits et al. Elvis stopped being great when he went into the army. There are the occasional good records he made later, but he was no longer relevant. Elvis was a great singer, but he was never an artist.

[@claudiapicariello5813]

BadfingerBoogieBarb personal opinion! in my opinion he was the greatest artist also in his last months. he's still the greatest. Elvis never stops being great. you may not agree with me, no problem, everyone has his own ideas, I respect yours.
