Everything is Tickety-Boo - Danny Kaye

Danny Kaye in MERRY ANDREW

[@Anurag-if9re]

For those who don't know, Tickety boo has originated from an Indian phrase "Thik hai Babu" meaning "Everything is fine, Sir ".

[@ticketyboo2456]

Why has this not crossed my eyes before. I've been on the planet for over fifty years and only today I was blessed with this. Thank you KZbin ((;

[@barbarawoodward6794]

Have you seen ‘The Court Jester,’ and ‘ The Inspector General?’

[@ruthb5272]

This is from Merry Andrew, I also recommend The Court Jester and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty too.

[@LBM10030]

How can you not be charmed by Danny Kaye singing such a gentle song?

[@WillScarlet16]

For those of you less familiar with these terms, 'Tickety-Boo' is basically British for 'Hunky-Dory.'

[@koeshey86]

I think I have been in madly love with Danny for years. He died when I was just a few months old, but I've heard his voice more then any other mans. He is there when I need him, makes me laugh when I'm sad, and his smile is the most adorable thing. I saw an old record of his in a antique shop once, and I fainted, lol! I'm 26. ^_^

Rode my bike to work this morning and had this song running through my head.

[@kapuso7kapamilya2]

It's such a fine day for the townspeople to have great fun and to sing along with the English school teacher Mr Andrew Larabee (played by the ever-sprightly Danny Kaye) who was in the pleasant mood while riding in his bicycle.This was one of the most-memorable and very-entertaining musical numbers in 1958 MGM's Merry Andrew. Indeed the versatility,spontaneity,and credibility of Danny Kaye in his hilarious and musical scenes were/will always be momentous,unparalleled,and tickety-boo.

[@ReelBigFudge]

That horse was wearing a sun hat... amazing.

[@wenglishsal]

Danny Kaye always makes me smile... his singing and acting are simply wonderful... Love it, the tune is now well and truly stuck in my 'bonce', and still making me smile...58's Danny R.I.P. :0)x

[@sleepybrownbear]

If Danny Kaye rode up on his bicycle singing this song then I would sing along with him. I don't think I'd have a choice.

[@tristanmercier9]

Fun fact : The French-Canadian slang ''Tigidou'', pronounced ''tee-gee-doo'' most likely comes from the term ''Tickety-Boo''. Tigidou simply meaning that ''It's all good''.

[@BuckshotLaFunke1]

Roughly 50 years ago in the cinema, but I remember the song well.

[@cruisematt8585]

Danny Kaye is just so wonderful

[@cybercrys]

looove this movie! Love this song! Thanks for sharing

[@celemirelewen]

How can no one love a man like that? I'm fifteen years old, and I love Danny Kaye. Old movies in general, but especially his. My seventeen year old sister hates him. An dold movies in general, but especially Danny Kaye. My question is, "Why? Why hate someone like that?" Respond if you agree with me.

[@kirstenf3647]

Yes, must be a pretty stagnant soul to to hate this, seventeen or not.. I can see not liking it, but hating this (onscreen at least...) undoubtedly weirdly happy and odd force of nature?

[@YManCyberDude]

I didn't care for stuff like that or many old movies at 17 but I love them now. Oh . . . You Tube says your comment was (7 years ago) so you must be about 22 now. You still dig old movies ?

[@celemirelewen]

@@YManCyberDude I absolutely do. My husband thinks most of them are hokey, but he'll watch some with me time and again. 😊 I really like the old westerns, from the '40s and '50s.

[@YManCyberDude]

@@celemirelewen . . . There were some good ones . . .

[@randigerber1926]

I know you wrote this years ago, but ... I "fell in love" with Danny Kaye when I was about 7 years old, when his movie 'Hans Christian Andersen' was broadcast on TV (1966?). I begged for, and got the soundtrack album, and played it endlessly. Have you seen the film? I haven't seen it in decades, but I still remember DK's songs with the children well! I went on to have a crush on several other movie actors, including Clark Gable, when I read the novel GWTW and then saw the film ... in those days (1975?) old movies sometimes were shown in theatres in a limited run. Shortly before VHS was available. BTW, I was 16 when I crushed on Gable; he had died at the age of 59 in 1960, when I was still a baby. So many great old films! I recommend the Thin Man series, starring Myrna Loy and William Powell. Typical convo: "Let's go solve this crime, darling!" "Well, but I haven't finished my cocktail yet, dear. It'll have to wait a few more minutes."

[@reginaldfairfield]

someone asked me how I was and the first thing that popped into my head was "everything is tickety-boo" ! i never use that phrase, but I will now.

[@pownbnull]

Interesting it is thought by some the expression "tickety boo" may have likely come from the Hindi expression "teekey babu" meaning "everything is all right sir"

[@reginaldfairfield]

@@pownbnull ... that is so funny because that's soooo close to my name. LOL. thanks for the info. ♥

[@johnbarrington4568]

Damn you Klavaaaaaaaaaan!

Most impressive bicycle sequence I've seen since Muppet Caper, and adorable song!

[@brunogreco8572]

Sempre meravigliosa e di un buon auspico per delle belle giornate...😊😊😊😊

[@brunogreco8572]

Questa canzone è meravigliosa ascoltarla ad ogni momento specialmente nelle belle giornate. Grande Danny.

Every advert on TV and radio is just loud noise (and switched over/off immediately. This is wonderful! Love his English accent

[@krodgerson]

I use ticketyboo all the time and have never heard this before!!

[@inaayabintmusab9612]

thank you for uploading,,...but now i am addicted to dancing to it whenever i hear it

[@WuselchenHH]

*omg* Ich erwische mich doch glatt dabei, dass ich vom ersten Ton an mitsingen kann. God bless Danny Kaye.

[@SuperJJx]

I think im gonna sing this on my way to school some day... on my bicycle of course ;D

[@realzoomy]

I've been looking for this song for ages! The B side was "The square of the hypotomuse of the right triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the two adjacent sides" Only Danny Kaye could have sung that and made it good! I would like to see this film!

[@Angela-cd9bj]

Word of the day - Tickety-boo to all the Awesome Dad’s on today 06.20.2021 👑💯🥰

[@lovedannykaye8064]

I'm in love with this man! Even though I wasn't born till over 5 years after his death, he still makes me laugh when I'm pissed I agree with koeshy86! And I'm only 15!

[@neffada53]

This is a real treasure! Thanks for sharing this

[@libertyann439]

[@christalstarkey1456]

[@1TopGunPaintballer]

I listen to this ironically when I am at my lowest in life. It's a good song though.

[@christalstarkey1456]

[@t4duke]

Luther in “Luther” played by Idris Elba always uses the phrase “tickety boo” if things are going well

[@RenegadeFaith]

LOVE IT!!! It's stuck in my head now hehee.

[@joyunicycle]

Darn it Danny Kaye, my straight face is dead thanks to you. I LOVE YOU FOR THAT!!!

[@jemp4704]

Danny Kaye was such a good entertainer. I only saw a few of his movies while growing up. Thanks for the vid.

[@MultiGeraghty]

What a genius Daniel Kaminsky eas!!

[@sylviemigner8443]

A few years ago I watched the British TV show "Luther" on Netflix and he commented "Everything is tickety-boo. Totally disco." At the time I did not know that it was a song from the 1958 movie "Merry Andrew" starring Danny Kaye.

[@LBM10030]

I've been looking for this movie for a long time. Thanks for this clip. It made my day

@joeknee4767 ... Your comment made me chuckle... 'mate indeed' ... I am a silver haired Grandmother actually but I suppose if I was in Australia I may well get call mate or Sheila... Well which ever one it may be, I shall still be singing along with Danny.. Everything is tickety-boo indeed... *silly grin* Regards from Wales :0)x

[@Welcome2Broadway]

*Jump Jump Jump* I freking love Danny Kaye!!! OMG!!!

[@ramoosa]

From the movie MERRY ANDREWS.

[@brunogreco8572]

Mette sempre il buon umore 😂😂😂😂 😂

[@theironclads]

That's the Waterloo Bridge that Danny rides over which appears in many films. It was part of the MGM backlot which was considered the finest movie studio backlot there ever was.

[@Camop-iz9kt]

You can also see the bridge behind Bing Crosby in his segment of "That's Entertainment!"

[@mabhekaphansi]

I have looked a LOOOONG time for this number. Thanks evah so! By the way, the scene from 0.05 to 0.47 is reputed to be the longest single take of any scene in any movie .... not one cut!

[@marikoventura2926]

Yup this sums it up today...until January 20, 2021

[@darenfinan2192]

I will cycle to work tomorrow singing this.

[@koeshey86]

Same here! Its so weird to think I only shared the earth with him for a matter of months. People keep talking about Channing Tatum, Justin Beiber and 1 Direction. My Celebrity dream man is Danny. Always will be. Oh, and Liam Neeson is a close second, God bless the Irish! XD

[@stephanieshank4414]

That is just awesome omg

[@wenglishsal]

Oh, I have just realized they are all riding on the 'wrong side of the day', it must have been filmed in America... and a car passed him on the left, very strange indeed... The fences aren't as 'posh' and the roads in UK don't look like that either...lol BUT I still love this, and yes I am still singing along, Danny is a smile maker... :0)x

[@ChapmanWorldOnTube]

I do have a question though - In what scenario does an American born actor, singer, appear clearly in the states on US roads, presenting a British accent while cycling past a British double-decker red London bus? As an ex-pat living in the US, I'm now quite confused.

[@k5psb]

@aksa8c yes, that is a little earlier in the movie. His pant leg gets caught in the chain as he's pedaling to class and he end up in a wheelie. Kaye was so brilliant at physical humor.

[@LEMONSareGREAT97]

this made my day!

[@012370909]

REminds me of the produce manager Mark Hunsberger. He says Ticketyboo all the ttime

think they did the bike riding thing before the sound of music did - good ol' Danny Kaye makes me laugh all right-tee-oh

[@myhomie2taro]

Doug Ford brought me here.

[@aksa8c]

Wasn't there a bit when Danny had his coat or trouser caught in the bicycle chain? Maybe my memory is playing tricks. Great viewing this one.

[@NamasteYo]

Make sure to get like 7 friends riding all around you singing along. xD

[@Nuclear_chair16]

Love this song

[@Nuclear_chair16]

Same, what do you like about it?

[@Nuclear_chair16]

I like the mood it gives off, it makes me feel calm, how about you?

[@Nuclear_chair16]

idk why, but for me it gives off a form of anemoia. Anyway how did you discover this song?

[@Nuclear_chair16]

Funny thing is it was on accident, I was trying to search a name up that I heard in a daithi de nogla video, somehow it brought me here. How about you?

[@juanmonge8]

Where was he going?

[@SublimeStuff]

do you know how rare this clip is? I've been looking for a copy f this film forever...

[@Poutchyka]

This is awesome XD

[@mylesag2]

Aha! The "bicycle" sequence at the end of this number would seem to be the "inspiration" for a similar sequence in "The Sound of Music"'s DO RE MI number. Couldn't Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood be more original?

[@cliffworks4321]

How about all the unsung musician heroes sight reading /performing those parts, no loops, no ProTools! Le Roi est mort. Vive le Roi!

[@wenglishsal]

@wenglishsal .. APOLOGIESE from my absimal spelling, must be tired I guess, so I shall watch Danny Kaye one more time and then off to bed with a HUGE grin on my face.. hee hee :0)x

[@doraeliaestradaflores1430]

el nombre del director de la película alguien lo sabe por favor

[@sharonshort9140]

The director was Michael Kidd.

[@CanderellaGames]

I've been searching for an mp3 of this song for years. If anyone knows where I could get it, please post the info here. I'd pay a fair price for the file if it's a clean recording from the soundtrack.

[@thefatheroflies7921]

I bought this album on Amazon a few years ago. This track is on the album. It's cheap to buy it used, and Amazon is fairly reliable about that sort of thing. www.amazon.com/Merry-Andrew-Original-Soundtrack-Chaplin/dp/B000FUF6W2
