FIRST TIME HEARING Dean Martin - "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" REACTION

[@april6058]

Dean Martin was part a the “Rat Pack” which also includes Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. , Joey Bishop and Peter Lawrence. They were all famous in their own right . They were super cool cats back in the day. Frank, Dean and Sammy sang quite a few songs together and made great movies too- they did it all

[@mikek5958]

Peter Lawford I think you meant to say.

[@southpaws6814]

If only I had a couple of packs of the Crown Estate ... awww shucks, they'd prolly just be bunches of old ....................... GOATS'

[@faggoteditor9297]

they hated being called the rat pack.

[@MyMysticMuse]

FaggotEditor Interesting. I guess when you think about it it’s not that flattering of a name. ☺️ But they managed to make it cool.

[@flyboy53]

Peter Lawford was married to JFK's sister so he was brother in law to the President of the USA. There are many videos of Sinatra, Martin and Davis performing together as they were the "singers" of the group. Bishop was a comedian and Lawford was an actor.

[@jennymilos2420]

Hearing you declare "I'm in love" at the end of hearing your first Dean Martin song is ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL. I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@christopherjon1245]

Love seeing young people explore older stuff and having an open mind.....good job!

[@ihavenocluewhattoput]

I discovered dean martin when I was in pre K when I played mafia 2

[@The_Great_Darino]

Dean Martin may be the best entertainer in American culture history. He mastered it all: movies, radio, television. He could act in comedies, dramas; he could dance. And growing up in Ohio, he was quite a young boxer. He was a class act all the way that was apparently a nice guy that never took himself too seriously. 👍

[@TheGreatPresenter]

I recently watched the outtakes to Canonball Run. I love the way Burt Reynolds, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis were having so much fun

[@margaretwaite9765]

I used to love the Dean Martin show.

[@TheGreatPresenter]

@@margaretwaite9765 I saw the Dean Martin show with Frank Sinatra. Ruth Buzzi had them both falling about laughing. TV used to be so fresh and original

[@DanShouse0607]

You have to try "That's Amore" by Dean Martin...

[@kayliejordan4101]

I second this

[@thecaynuck4694]

That song always reminds me of the John Daker video where they don't know the words. Some weird funny video form the 90's or something.

[@laurakali6522]

Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon”...

[@althealligator1467]

My Way too

[@Katy32344]

Yep,this is his BEST!

[@dianemccrea3605]

Dean Martin, Memories Are Made of These

[@kirstensocialbutterfly6025]

My mom 💘 Dean Martin.i was raised on this 🎶.it brings back my childhood memories.i love it.

[@suzanneblaylock9598]

My mom used to smile and laugh and run around the house when she heard Dean Martin

[@markmoil3012]

So cool ! your open minded attitude towards music is heart warming. I am 60+ now and was young when the old guys were still going strong but we also had Beatles,Stones,Zepplin etc. etc.. etc.An amazing time for music.

[@flyejeezy6350]

In an episode of “The Dean Martin Show” a comedian once said “Compared to Dean, Frank Sinatra is a monk.”😂

[@deanm375]

I'm only 57 but I was lucky To See Dean Martin in 1991 in Vegas. A night I'll always remember. Also was lucky enough to see Frank Sinatra in 1985 at the Universal Amphitheater in LA. Only regret never seeing Sammy Davis Jr. live. I was a fan of them in high school when NOBODY me age thought they were cool. Then about 15 years later EVERYONE my age claimed to be life long fans of the Rat Pack. When Dean Martin died on Christmas day 1995, I had messages on my answering machine from friends in high school who I hadn't seen in years offering me condolences because they remembered how big a fan I was.

[@nancybenton5635]

You’re living in the best time because all these artists left their music for you to appreciate now. Thanks for bringing it back.

[@timcarr6401]

I had 10 or 12 Dean LPs before I bought my first Elvis single. When Elvis first came into Sun Records he was asked who he sounded like. He replied ungrammatically "I don't sound like nobody." When pressed though, he confessed that Dean was a favorite. They say that Elvis is the King of Cool, but Dean Martin was. Elvis even said so. Dean was born into an Italian family in Steubenville, Ohio in 1917. He and Jerry Lewis paired up in 1946 and stayed together for 10 years making films and TV shows. Dean couldn't stand the movies or Jerry's attitude. I used to watch his program in the late 60s and early 70s. He was smooth. He was calm, cool and collected. Frank got nervous sometimes before a show and Dean would say something like "It's only singing." He did just shy of 1,000 songs I'd say. Here's few to start off with : 1) Return To Me 2) Love Me, Love Me 3) Volare 4) On An Evening In Roma 5) That's Amore 6) Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime (His theme song) 7) Memories Are Made Of This 8) I'd Cry Like A Baby 9) Somewhere There's A Someone 10) Sway (I did that one in China a few times. Strictly amateur) 11) The Door Is Still Open To My Heart

[@geokaragiannis]

Really enjoying your reactions. Breath of fresh air to see a young person, such as yourself, expand your mind to the beautiful music the past has to offer...And keep up the Rat Pack reactions. Try "Everybody Loves Somebody" by Dean. You won't be disappointed...

[@caroldentone9513]

I love the way this young man (and his brother ) listen to and appreciate many different musical genres. Bravo!!

[@kishka7winecountry]

Check out Dean Martin's "That's Amore" (that is love) one of his most classic songs!! Fun music!! You'll love it! ( I am a 66 yr old white dude in Northern California - I really appreciate how YOU appreciate this music! It's great to see!!!)

[@herbiesnerd]

Give a listen to, “I left my Heart in San Francisco” by Tony Bennet or anything else by Tony Bennet

[@ATB1028]

I came on your site to see your trending reaction to Phil Collins I stayed to see if you had reviewed my favorite entertainer Dean Martin (from Steubenville, Ohio) and wow, I was not disappointed! I have enjoyed Dean since the 1960s and it was so fabulous to see you have the same reactions to his music as I do. He was not only a talented singer, but a marvelous actor whose "Dino" personality was a gimmick He had many convinced J&B was in his glass on stage but he gave his trick away when he admitted in interviews that Martinelli's apple juice was in his glass. Thank you so much for bringing the swinging music of the 1960s to a whole new generation. Hugs!

[@LiveLocallyNow]

This was the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding...in 2012!

[@distinguishedsilverfox3563]

I’m right there with you in wishing I was alive back in that era!

[@OperaJH]

It was indeed a wonderful time growing up with this music - I’m so lucky that my parents had so many great records - and that they had great taste in music!

[@2dashville]

Used to watch his show every week. Love to hear him sing and he was funny too. Not to mention his dancers, The Golddiggers.

[@loriallen67]

I used to watch that show..... he ad lobbed the whole damned thing. There was no script. Dean was THAT cool. Stood there with a glass in his hand and oozed swagger.

[@jeanneflorini9683]

“It’s an honor” what a lovely sentiment - we are lucky to live in a time we can go back and explore what we might otherwise miss! I learned about Tupac from my students - and they learn about some of my favorites - my husband channels Frank Sinatra :)! Bing Crosby would be another guy to check out!

[@russlambert7020]

Anything you find with Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, or Sammy Davis Jr., is worth the time. I was lucky enough to grow up watching them all. Three of the all time greatest performers.

[@allybandy3047]

Yeah, I was livin' back then and was swoony over Dean.

[@kakiegrace]

My mom taught me to appreciate Dean Martin. That man had such style

[@Rebel-cd6gc]

You guys are so lucky. I grew up in the early 2000s surrounded by hip hop. I wish I could have grown in this time.

[@madelynl.5351]

Yes. We were lucky to hear such spectacular music. And we are lucky to get to watch you react the very same way we did.

[@karenpusateri2089]

As an Italian-American, I grew up with this music. My grandfather played this while my grandmother played Opera. So beyond Ol' Blue Eyes and Dino, I would suggest listening to Louis Prima. If you haven't, should listen to Sammy Davis Jr too.

[@FionaKaneTheWellnessConnection]

I am really enjoying seeing you explore so many genres, that song is about love and joy and that is exactly how you reacted. Watching you hear music that I have known forever is giving me a new appreciation for it too. Dean Martin was a big time movie star too.

[@TwistedSither]

Dean Martin was the King of Cool, and Frank Sinatra was the Chairman of the Board. They were members of the infamous Rat Pack. Congrats on your reaction to such timeless classics! I would suggest that you check out some of Dean's celebrity roasts from back in the day. Every single one is a comedy classic, and couldn't be done today in this touchy-feely, oh-so-sensitive culture.

[@lindashelley3635]

Ronald Elkins Or try watching some of Deans Variety Shows from the 1960s which are available on You Tube, which ran for a total of nine years. Dean was known as the King of Cool and had just about every entertainer of the era as guest stars during that time. He was best friends (or ‘pallies’) with Frank Sinatra for more than 50 years, and Frank often appeared with him on the show. One of the best was the Christmas show of (I think) 1968, which featured both their families, including a total of 10 children between them (Franks 3 and Deans 7, many of whom followed their Dads into show business) and also Deans wife Jeannie.

[@adamblackwelder1963]

Check out Cab Calloway. His most famous song is "Minnie the Moocher" (which he sang in The Blues Brothers movie in 1980). I also like another song of his: "Everybody Eats When They Come to My House," which I play every Thanksgiving! Lol!

[@etc7070]

Oh my goodness, Cab Calloway! Yes! A pioneering bandleader and entertainer.

[@MyMysticMuse]

You did it again. You warmed my heart. Your reactions to this great music remind us all how blessed we are to have it in the world. ✌🏽💕💃🏻

[@christinelegate8137]

I’m so glad that my mum introduced me to all these artists. I know all of them due to that. It doesn’t matter what age you are, you can enjoy all kinds of music. There is 60 years of great music to explore. You’ll be amazed at the talent that came before you. Enjoy!

[@etc7070]

I never thought I'd hear a Dean Martin song called a banger but you know what, it is! Someone commented to just search for the Rat Pack -- yup, you'll find everything you want to hear. Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr were part of the group, they were the quintessential entertainers of their time. My personal fave? A Sammy and Frank duet called "Me and My Shadow." It's so fun. I hope you check it out.

[@jeanolsen3582]

Dean is my favorite...I’ve been waiting for you to react to this. I knew you would love this.

[@DaleBrose]

I enjoy seeing a young person discovering and exploring music from when I was a young kid. Oh yes, the Dean Martin Christmas album played every season and the Dean Martin show was on the TV every week. Keep exploring and I'll keep checking out your channel.

[@CaptainNice]

Dean Martin is one of the main guys in the 1960 version of Ocean's 11. There's no singing, but it is great. Sinatra and his pack wanted to film in Vegas, because Vegas is the place to drink and gamble. And it's all a legit business expense. :)

[@nadinemarie3811]

I've heard Dean Martin songs, but this is my first time hearing this song. I remember seeing him on tv when I was a kid. He was the coolest of the cool.

[@martharoberts1264]

I truly like what you do Experiencing these old songs from, what I would say is the best artist of my time.. I enjoy you two very much.

[@verasileikis17]

You’d probably like Sam Cooke singing You Send Me. It’s so beautifully sung that you’ll always remember it, and like most people, you’ll find yourself singing it.

[@Katy32344]

You can still listen to this music. It's still there! It's before my time, too, but I love the old crooners.

[@pamelabasilone5173]

Dean was EVERYTHING! The voice, the swag, the looks to kill! No other rat packer could touch his talent! King of cool is an understatement!

[@mikek5958]

They were smooth alright. Frank, Dino and Sammy slayed 'em. Lawford and Bishop didn't do too bad either.

[@philkaiser2313]

I love it, that you loved it. Great music!

[@hifijohn]

You can see him and hear this song in the movie ocean's eleven from 1960.

[@zamhobby9662]

Love this song and the original Ocean Eleven in the 60's.....

[@larachan-baker188]

The way you feel hearing this song for the first time is still how I feel hearing this song for the millionth.

[@peggysullivan5875]

I loved Dean Martin so much.

[@rosecavalier5587]

i listened to this in my child hood....im 60 now and stll love it

[@melanieleblanc4562]

You should check out the song, Style, it was sung by dean martin, frank sinatra and bing crosby. Those guys were smooth.

[@threestoogescritic3280]

Great song

[@alfonzo9289]

Listen to mambo italiano: by Dean Martin since you were feelin this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHK0gmSModBkpKc And The Cadillacs: speedo kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmrYi6moqKair6c I'm in my 20s and I wish I was born back then too. I'm with you on that all the way But the song you reacted to reminds me of sitting on my back porch with my grandpa, while drank his homemade wine and he smoked a big cigar. We would play Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra all night and he would texh me how to pick up girls in my class. Brings back so many memories RIP Pap, your advice always worked. Ohhh almost forgot also check out Dean Martin: That's Amoré.

[@americanaforever6725]

“Everybody loves Somebody” and “That’s Amore” aer a couple of great ones from Uncle Dino

[@ilovetotourbutihatetouring]

I absolutely LOVE your videos. I love how you listen to everything and have an open mind.

[@michaelgolliher888]

The Rat pack Frank,Dean,Sammy Davis Jr. Try listening to them together

[@itsallgood4093]

I love how much you love all kinds of music.

[@Jihavoh777]

You should do Ella Fitzgerald doing Cole Porter’s Too Darn Hot :)

[@johnnal9066]

How about Ella Fitzgerald -The Lady is Tramp!!!

[@gracegarcia37]

This sucks that I'm just seeing your reaction to the classics. I LOVE that you enjoy this music, you enjoy it and appreciate it. I am so happy for you. You just opened a whole new world!

[@thewindle]

Here is a song that you will enjoy, from a movie, Robin and the 7 Hood's, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby, song called Style

[@JPMadden]

My maternal grandfather was about Dean Martin's age, and was also the child of immigrants from Italy. Dean Martin was my grandfather's favorite singer, and I often listen to Dean--always brings a tear to my eyes and a smile to my face.

[@Serai3]

Dean Martin - That's Amore. Total classic. Pick a vid with the lyrics! :)

[@dellahayden4705]

You are sooo cute listening to all of this great music....🤗

Amazing reaction to one of my favorite singers! We played this at our wedding reception. Loving your reactions and subscribed. Well done!

[@deeg7126]

You 2 are awesome young men! I am amazed at ur love & respect of ALL music & your genuine joy! I really enjoyed watching you & my spirit was lifted up! I love Dean Martin to this day! He left an imprint in my heart for life & I often listen to Pandora Dean station. My dad introduced me to his era of music & I Love all from 1940’s on. I especially loved The Dean Martin celebrity roasts - hilarious fun! Check those out! Sammy Davis Jr. was usually on those too! Check out Andy Williams & famous song “Moonriver” my dad’s favorite song when I was young. He sang it all the time til he passed toon young but he left me the incredible gift of music. Bless u both❤️

[@karolyn8644]

This was my generation, mostly dead & gone now. We used to dance to this kind of music in high school, & I still love it. Dean Martin is one of my abiding favorites.There were also some great "girl singers" back in the day as well. You might check out George Clooney's aunt Rosemary Clooney, singing a song she hated & didn't want to sing, but which was a big hit. It's a bit silly, as the title, "Come On'a My House" might indicate, but fun. I'll dig through my record collection & see what else I can come up with. We also listened to a lot of black singers, who had equal space in the jukebox, before listeners got all bent out of shape over the color of an artist's skin. (I might have more to say about that later.) One I particularly remember was Billy Eckstine. He had what one might call a velvet voice, & sang "I Apologize" & more. Then there was Nat King Cole. Listen to his "Unforgettable." These were not swinging tunes like the one you played by Dean Martin, but some really lovely music.

[@roadsidelouie7812]

Dean is also a very funny guy who had a TV show on the air for 9 years. Check out the Dean Martin roasts

[@jeanneflorini9683]

Does anyone else remember “Robin and the 7 Hoods” - fun musical film with the song “Mister Booze”!

[@83candlestick]

it's fun to see you enjoying all types of music. You might enjoy watching clips of the Rat Pack. Dean and Frank and Sammy Davis Jr. were headliners and laced their musical performances with comedy.

[@jackpeters9048]

I grew up listening to rock...my parents listened to this music....never appreciated the oldies till I got older....Dean, Sammy, Frank, Jimmy Darin....they had such class.....great you young guys are tasting some of classics!

[@helgar791]

Dean did a lot of things, but his fame came when he teamed up with Jerry Lewis and formed the comedy duo Martin and Lewis. They were the most popular comedy duo of their time rivaling Abbot and Costello and Laurel and Hardy in all time popularity. Their careers together only lasted 10 years and they had a bitter break up. Jerry, after 30 years said he forgave Deano, but Dean never really forgave Jerry. After the break up Dean became a member of Sinatra's "Rat Pack" and they patrolled nightclubs from Vegas to New York, performing, gambling, and partying. Others in the Pack were Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop and Buddy Hackett. Peter married a Kennedy and was later involved in the death of Marylin Monroe. Time for you to listen to some Sammy Davis Jr. doing "What Kind Of Fool Am I", "I Gotta Be Me", and "Somethin' Gotta Give". Anything but his big hits, "Candyman" or "Mr Bojangles", both of which really don't show how well that guy could sing and dance.

[@ruthmeneses5838]

Love from L.A.✌😎

[@mcgee227]

The Dean master..dear god this guy was phenomenal

[@lindashelley3635]

Philosophizer He was known as a ‘triple threat’ - obviously a great singer but also a fine actor and an extremely funny comedian. He was also apparently very popular and well-liked by just about everyone in the business.

[@poetgb]

I like your style and your honesty. You were really swinging to this swinger. You were getting psyched up listening and it is fun to watch. Dean Martin is one of the all time greats along with his pal Frank S. These are classics from a different time period. These kind of songs always bring listening pleasure. I would like to suggest Dean Martin ' You Can't Love 'Em All ' . It is another swinger in the same style as this one.

[@LittleMissEnchanted]

I LOVE that you react to this genre of music. I also love it... Sinatra is my fave.

[@barbaramelanson3912]

This is jazz. I was born in 1960 and they were falling by the wayside with the British Invasion lapping at their heels, along with the California surf music and the sounds of Philadelphia. My cousin had their albums and I would play them as I was falling to sleep, every weekend without fail. Love the Rat Pack! You might want to watch the movies, "Ocean's 11", the original 1960 version, "Robin and the Seven Hoods" and "Guys and Dolls". These movies are just good, clean fun with the whole rat pack and a few other very talented guys in them.

[@ithakra]

Singer, dancer, actor he did it all. Him and Frank were good friends. Thanks for this video!! I miss Dean

[@LibbySingsMezzo]

This music was originally from the 1920's-60's, but it's not just in the past. I played this stuff in jazz band (saxophone) at my high school in the late 70's, and there are still swing bands today. If you look around, you can probably find one - or start your own!

I must be really old. Reading through all the comments, nobody mentions how famous he was before the Rat Pack years, when he had his great partnership with Jerry Lewis.

[@samanthanyarko9166]

Your excitement is amazing to see! Fabulous song. If you love music like this try Tony Bennett. Would love to see you react to his music. My absolute favorite of his is The Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Other great ones are Rags to Riches and Blue Velvet.

[@julietissue8528]

"Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime"

Supposedly, according to Dean's daughter, that was not scotch in his glass. It was juice. She said he was home every night for dinner.

[@lizrva]

Try Tony Bennett's "Plenty of Money and You" with the Count Basie Orchestra
