OKLAHOMA "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top" with lyrics

[@williamjones7163]

My Dad would wake us kids up to Oh What A Beautiful Morning. He passed in 1984. It is now 2024. 40 years ago. I still tear up when I think of it.

[@sad3683]

I LOVE the way he sings this to her and I LOVE her reaction; it is wonderful. I fell madly in love with him at the age of 10 when I saw this movie. It was an era and the one movie that was made for him.

[@rossmcintyre1710]

I was about that age in Australia . Still know nearly all the words to all the songs. Dreamed of singing like Gordon McRae, and fell in love with guess who.

[@lskarin]

Gordon and Shirley are absolutely perfect. Listen to his phrasing. His soft singing. I am happy to be alive to hear him.

[@GayDoctorJoe]

They were the perfect duo for R&H musicals. No one today can top them.

[@dmmchugh3714]

Rogers & Hammerstein were complete musical geniuses. Their musicals appeal to the heart and so continue to have timeless appeal.

[@pellebravesskylar]

What am absolutely golden voice he has. And so handsome! Shirley is just as talented & as good-looking! Wonderful team.

[@shimmeringfairydust3275]

So true!

[@kellymcphaul2793]

His voice is so powerful and he can just fall into such a sweet, gentle part that just makes me melt.

[@shimmeringfairydust3275]

An incredible voice - MacRae’s voice is one of the best I have ever heard

[@DrBillHaberman]

If you like this one. Check out Gordon McRae singing of “it’s magic“.

[@TheMusicguy68]

OKLAHOMA! Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones! Gordon has a fabulous voice and Shirley also has a fabulous voice and is totally beautiful! This video is a piece of American history! I think it is a masterpiece. A great performance!!

[@babsbranz7921]

I just love this song

[@jdgreenlantern]

Out of all his songs, this is the one that always brought tears to Mr. Hammerstein's eyes.

[@anotheryou218]

Oh thank you for this! I have always had the same reaction, for decades. How validating to hear Mr Hammerstein particularly loved it. He wrote so many marvelous, enchanting and moving songs. This one is the one that always kills me. And I haven't heard anyone do it better than Mr MacRae.

Shirley Jones very, very under-rated.

[@shimmeringfairydust3275]

Exquisite beauty, with a fantastic voice. I think she was all of eighteen when she did this. Stunning.

[@pauldavis5093]

This is my favourite musical of all-time. My mom took the me to see this film when I was 7, and I loved it so much, that we stayed in the cinema to watch it again!

[@hannahstrawberry7]

I was raised on this movie. I still get goosebumps listening to these songs

[@notimeleft1]

My honestly favorite musical duet ever. I grew up on this movie. I can honestly say this is my favorite rodgers and Hammerstein film. Gordon and Shirley have such lovely voices.

[@TheSaltydog07]

Same.

[@anitamcnamara9287]

Such a great song. I think this is R & H's best musical, even though the Sound of Music is good too. This one is pure gold.

[@MadisynParis]

Hugh Jackman's version was nice, but Gordon Macrae IS Curly. I have never heard a better version than this.

[@MTknitter22]

so true

[@TheSaltydog07]

Only one Curly. Thank you 😊

[@elizabethsmith8516]

I just love these 2 stars singing together! She is beautiful, and he was so handsome. So sorry that he passed away as young as he did! Love, Liz

[@geranioj]

Oh I miss that great decades of musical I grew up with.

[@xebatansis]

I love these old movies.

[@dringsong]

God.. what a beautiful singer. I know now why my mum had tons of his stuff :)

[@AdmrlLocke]

My dad loved this song, and it's even better when you can see how he melts her with it. The ending of the scene is just hysterical!

[@bonnaXbeast]

I watched this movie sooo many times! My grandfather gave me the cd when i was younger and i always replayed this song over and over again :)

[@kenbaker1294]

wow what chemistry between then!

[@martel732]

They don't make movies like this anymore because there aren't any actors that can pull it off. These people could sing, dance, act and look great doing it.

[@FTLNewsFeed]

So you think that in the past 55 years humans have changed so drastically that we could no longer pull this off?

[@martel732]

@@FTLNewsFeed No, I saw the stage version with Hugh Jackman, and it was excellent. But those kind of talents are usually on the stage, not making films.

[@SOLIDIUS36]

Seth McFarland probably could pull it off.. it might not be as classy, but sure would be entertaining.. lol

[@libertygiveme1987]

@martel - You got that right!!!!

[@iamnowchristine]

Show me one person who can resist that voice, and I'll show you a tin ear at best, at worst, a stone heart.

[@iamnowchristine]

God, I am SO glad I'm not the only one who noticed!

[@mysticjason05]

Rebecca Bass Oh honey you are not the only one. If someone who looked like him with that voice hit on me, he could pick me up in a power wheels car and still get laid.

[@rogerhuff9556]

+Jason Durham i love the truthhes very good

[@verkaforever]

Laurie resisted it! She's so silly at the beginning.

[@SOLIDIUS36]

This song is so damn catchy and the acting is so dang entertaining.. I've gotta watch this movie now

[@Kryptonsuperfan]

@Philkid3 YES! I was in Oklahoma in my community theater and the summer after the show my family went to Disneyland and it was the first time I had noticed they played a bunch of songs from Oklahoma on Main Street. I'm glad somebody else is observant too :)

[@calisahardy4845]

Thank you Stephen Colbert and Jon Batiste... my ears have been opened!

[@lnefouse]

MY Grandmother and Great Aunt took myself and my cousin JAnet to see this move.....60 years ago....Ive loved musicals since then and I'm not Gay.....Talent!!!!!!

[@maureen1938]

This is such a beautiful musical, always super to hear and see these two talented stars.

[@jgnetwork2786]

Still my favorite standard from the American songbook..

[@paulskipaulskipaulski]

I like how they rhymed "silk" with "silk."

[@JayDayGamesShow]

lol

[@Singingactingloving]

Paul Ski they rhymed "silk" with "siiiiiillllk" so I think it's okay 😂😂

[@brendajoy4359]

They say the other is more like Milk

[@jamesmcinnis208]

Ingenious! Slik!

[@lisaedwards9861]

yeah, they definitely rhymed "silk" with "milk"

[@Caztro72]

I love this scene! It amazes me how wonderful the backdrop looks. Could the camera crew ask for a more beautiful day? They were lucky! Wonderful song coupled with blue skies and sunshine ... makes this one of the best scenes in cinematic history!

[@johnshaw2036]

Remember how the movie ended with Curly and his bride driving off in a Model T with a fringe on the top? I liked that!

[@janes8714]

John Shaw into the sky!

[@maryfrances63]

One of my dad’s favourite songs miss you and will always love you ❤

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

If everything was done like this song was there wouldn't be any problems! Magnificent.

[@mr.warmth1511]

amen brother too much hate in this old world

[@herbbenson6884]

My very thought. What have we become?

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Thanks for the thought.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Amen!

[@verkaforever]

Actually he did. He tells Aunt Eller he has hired the rig- he said he'd made it up because Laurey was being so mean to him.

[@errk25]

Great clip. I haven't seen this in a long time. Gordon MacRae is so great and I fell in love with Shirley Jones many years ago. Thanks.

[@andyblyth4519]

Absolutely wonderful. This song, one of my favourites from a long list of musical genius melodies from Richard Rogers, twined with Oscar Hammersteins beautiful and often very witty lyrics, with two perfect singers. Shirley Jones sings also the haunting 'Out of my dreams' song from this show, surely a melody up there with 'Some enchanted Evening' from south Pacific. How have we got to here now in 2023 with so much bile everywhere, and talentless individuals hailed as stars?

[@mamatibborscassady9388]

I think Oklahoma had more single hits than most any other Broadway play,saw this so many times when it came out, the Broadway show came out about 1945,same time State Fair, Finnians Rainbow, and, Brigadoon, + others, much as I love themall, OKLAHOMA is amazing .

[@dynodave1969]

remember watchin this with my grand ma when i was a kid and just couldnt get it.now that im grown i can really apprieciate it, this is classic (great)

[@JRF1961]

The man had a great voice!!!

[@difa2ol]

This is so clear, sharp, and colorful. Many of the videos I watch are grainy, blurred, dark, or all three. Excellent! Thanks, BravoDivine!

[@deandouthat9033]

The river will ripple out a whispered song And whisper it over and over Pure genius imagery The sun is swimmin' on the rim of the hill The moon is takin' a header Wow!

Try Robert Goulet =)

If you add the very clever lyrics from Oscar Hammerstein to the clip clop rhythm of Richard Roger's music you have something of a little masterpiece. Perfectly performed by Gordon.

[@topsalespro]

Incredible retrospective of an era of legendary stars, equally superb movie-making that is anachronistic types of which never to be seen again in newly released form that is gone with the wind.

[@averysgore]

"Watch that fringe and see how it flutters, when I drive them high steppin' strutters." Heh heh. Ain't no finer rig is right, Oscar.

My, Shirley sure does look radiant. I'd marry her too, after this number! lol.

[@Emper0rH0rde]

She has the face and voice of an angel, there's no doubt about that. I'd say watching her, and listening to her sing was the only thing in this movie I enjoyed, except I couldn't stand her character.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

That's real Female power and Ya gotta love it!

[@Singingactingloving]

Dave Bass .. Shirley? I thought her name was Laurie

[@Singingactingloving]

i used to love this when i was a child and my gran had the oklahoma LP lol

[@Abstractklutz32]

Love this movie, it's a favourite in my family. Always found it wonderful in all musicals how they would just burst out into song and dance. BANG. Everyone knows the words and are right in step. XD But yes, this song, like all of them in this superb musical, are quite nifty.

[@paacer]

Where the two of them go into a whisper is pure genius .

[@kevinfrushour]

Local High School put this on and I took my kids to see it. Was good!

[@herbbenson6884]

Today's dialogue: "Why don't you just grab her and kiss her when she acts that, Curley!" "Because I don't want to be arrested for assault and thrown in jail, Etta!" Reminds me of my youthful dating experience: "She likes you...quite a lot." "If she liked me any more she would sick the dogs on me!" Love it. Great movie clip. Thanks for posting this.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

who the hell is Etta? her name is Aunt Eller!

Nobody can write songs like this anymore, no matter what assoles think. It's bloody clever and talented!!!!!🙄

[@terrywright7470]

I play clips like this and wonder just whatever happened to romance, here we have two beautiful people (Without the aid of botox and fillers), teasing each other about going to a dance, and who was going with who? Maybe it is because I am an 85 year old man that I feel this way, but even at my advanced age I can still recall the excitement and thrill of taking a beautiful young lady to a dance, and I thank God that I have memories like this to look back on.

We drive open air TUG's at work, but this makes me want to add a fringe on the top of them, so I can sing this all day while moving mail to the airplane!

[@MrJab4309]

wow someone put on the jackass pants this morning. ok, i'll indulge you. I saw this production first when I was merely 4 or 5 years old...too long ago for me to remember exactly why I started singing, but having parents remember that I always sang these songs reminded me when I watched this video. As far as not being very good, I'd say 4th seat in the Pennsylvania All State choir as a Baritone proves my skill in itself.

[@Cordray2012]

Why can't men act like this anymore? Or be as handsome?

[@MTknitter22]

maybe cuz we women like HER are just as rare?

[@wmnoffaith1]

I was just reading a book about Norwegian immigrants in Chicago in 1900, and a surrey with fringe on top, when I said to myself, Wasn't that a song? Surrey with the fringe on top? My parents had this album ? Boy am I old.
