I'm 71 years old and I can still remember that Mike Fink song. He as the greatest.

[@daddyo1952]

I'll be 70 in a couple months... still brings a smile to me too.

[@UVJ_Scott]

It was 1955, I was 7 and had a Davey Crockett coon skin hat. Great memories.

[@ukestudio3002]

Even Davy and Georgie Russell knew after the race that there was still only one KING of the river MIKE FINK KING OF THE RIVER FOR ETERNITY

[@jediknightk6803]

I'm 23 and the two Davy Crockett movies are still my favorite.

[@Gameboy-64]

I was introduced to the Disney Crockett 9 years ago and yet I still go back and watch both of them every now and then.

I loved Davy Crockett and the River Pirates. Mike Fink was great (Jeff York was an excellent character actor).

I bought this about 5 days before Irma hit us, my mom and I giggled at the appropriate lyrics. Also developed an immense crush on Moose... XD

[@beaconmike]

The best version of this song was sung by the bass voice for Tony The Tiger (They're Great), that was released in the mid-50's by Disney records. Yes the fim is the original, but most of us grew up listening to the record by the Disney singers...................can't find it posted yet, but just you wait.................I'm Mike Fink...............King of the River!!!

Remember when Disney made good movies?

I love this song

[@emperorconstantine1.361]

Who is the guy with that real deep voice, sounds like the voice of the croc from Disney’s Robin Hood and one of the back up singers in the full Grim Grinning Ghosts.

[@jacobmelton4246]

Candy candido, he played the Indian chief in Peter pan

[@dtcspyker6599]

The character is Moose, acted by Irvin Ashkenazy, the voice might have been done by Candy Candido in this segement but I can't seem to find him credited in this movie.

[@jacobmelton4246]

@@dtcspyker6599 it sounds an awful lot like candy singing, I figure every voice was recorded and dubbed in later

[@dtcspyker6599]

@@jacobmelton4246 Definitely possible, I just didn't see this film listed in Candy's IMDB, I'll have to rewatch it and see if he's in the credit reel. Also possible he just didn't get credited, which would be a shame.

[@snow69413]

Hurricane Irma made me think of this song.

[@SteveBakerIsHere]

Doesn't it look to you like the boat is going a LOT faster than the guys with the poles are pushing it? There is a kinda suspicion of a prop wash coming out of the back too! The hull is remarkably smooth - evidently not built of wood! Did they have fibreglass back then?

Wise man that Davey. Make your potential enemy your friend. He shoulda had a sit down with Santa Ana before things got salty.

[@spencerpercer5320]

Still have this movie on VHS tape I love it

[@RaTSpawn]

This video has become very popular at my work place; as I am a real life, legitimate, Mike Fink (in name only...Im no king of the river). Its been a blessing and a curse...proves my "claim to fame" prior to the videos discovery, while also leading me to hear coworkers sing "Im Mike Fink" when I walk into the shop.

[@RaTSpawn]

To push the story even further; my parents initials are R and T Fink, embodying the Ratfink character...I am Mike Fink, son of Ratfink...RaTSpawn

[@WingsWithWax]

damn mike must of had some sharp teeth

[@thompsonjeremiah]

as bad as that hat must've been going down, he would've had a miserable time passing it!
