I think it's pretty clear that we need a reboot of The Music Man with Seth MacFarlane as Prof. Harold Hill. He obviously loves this musical and his voice and charisma are perfect for it.

[@Fallout42069e]

royalparadigm there already is a 2003 version why not have another one

[@janameehan5771]

I can't agree more. I hope it happens. Talented man.

[@marastoughton1951]

There's gonna be a Broadway revival of it with Hugh Jackman, but I've always imagined Seth so I hope it takes over for at least a short run in the future

No sweet and pure angelic lass for me That kinda gal can spin a web, you see She trades on wholesome innocence galore But it's my independence that she's trading for The only affirmative she will file Refers to marching down the aisle No golden, glorious, gleaming pristine goddess, no sir! For no Diana do I play faun, I can tell you that right now I snarl, I hiss How can ignorance be compared to bliss? I spark, I fizz For the lady who knows what time it is I cheer, I rave For the virtue I'm too late to save The sadder but wiser girl for me No bright-eyed, blushing, breathless baby-doll baby, no sir! That kinda child ties knots no sailor ever knew I prefer to take a chance On a more adult romance No dewy young miss who keeps resisting All the time she keeps insisting No wide-eyed, wholesome, innocent female Why, she's the fisherman, I'm the fish, you'll see I flinch, I shy When the lass with the delicate air goes by I smile, I grin When the gal with a touch of sin walks in I hope and I pray For Hester to win just one more 'A' The sadder but wiser girl for me No giggling ice cream soda drinker Out to hook you line and sinker No honey throated beckoning siren I plug my ears and I grab my oars and I flee I jeer, I boo At the puritan hearted ingenue I yearn, I long For the woman whose Pop says "What went wrong?" I root and I clap For the dame in the gownless evening strap The sadder but wiser girl's the girl for me The sadder but wiser girl for me

[@ursie1986]

It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on tv, but where are those good old fashioned values on which we used to rely? Lucky, there's a family guy - lucky here's a man who positively can do all the things that make us laugh, and cry. HE'S. CALLED. SETH. MAC. FARLANNNNNE.

There was a bud light ad for this video too, so I think someone saw your comment

[@bogey0420]

His voice is like velvet!!

[@56packmanable]

Such clever lyrics. Meredith Wilson was a genius. Seth really sings this beautifully. Bravo.

[@southeparkfreak]

Wow. I knew Seth could sing but never really heard him singing anything like this. He is amazing!

[@detsportsfan18]

Robert Preston is still king...but good job Seth!

[@0okamino]

I don't think you'd even get any arguments about that from Seth either. He clearly has a lot of love for these classic numbers and the folks who made them shine so brightly.

I was in this musical in high school, and I was used to the Robert Preston musical- however, this jazzy version is really quite nice! It's brilliant! :-)

[@seymoredarwin8381]

Seth MacFarlane is my favorite entertainer of all time. He's a great singer, a director, the creator of my favorite show of all time (Family Guy), and wicked funny.

He got vocal training from Lee and Sally Sweetland, who trained Barbara Streisand and Frank Sinatra

How offensive that they revived Music Man with Hugh Jackman instead of Seth in the Lead. Smh

The greatest voice ever, in my opinion. Not the greatest singer, the greatest voice

[@monkeysgame172]

He's talented but he doest work as hard when it comes to music, but that's because that's not the thing he does mainly

[@brosue4]

Gownless evening strap! Oh gosh, I've watched the movies and seen a few productions, but this is the first time I actually caught that line.

[@woodygould]

It’s not in the original lyrics. I think Seth wrote the coda which follows the instrumental break.

[@karochef79]

He's supposed to be rather shy; but considering he's incredibly talented and SMOKIN HOT, I'm sure he doesn't have a hard time finding a date.

Seth McFarlane is the Frank Sinatra of our generation! Just perfect. I'm happy that there are people who still love swing, after all these times! :)

[@TheUltimateOpportunist]

One of the most talented people I've seen in my life

[@JosephDutra]

As Gene Kelly has been referred to this name many times, Seth MacFarlane is a triple threat :)

[@ReneeMauriceOriginal]

I must confess to being one of the public who have misunderstood Seth, right up until I saw this video. My goodness, I had no idea! Swoon!!!

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

The ".. for meeee" part sounds like a Family Guy character.

[@exoticcar5482]

You do realize why

[@BOTHthosearetaken]

Yes, the universe the musical takes place in does seem lovely. The biggest problem that town actually suffers from is boredom until the movie starts, and everyone dresses nice and sings song. Honestly, if I was given three wishes the first one is that the whole world was a musical, and that exact one is one I had in mine.

[@zeldagalassi580]

No one else in the world is Robert Preston. Matthew Broderick was the wimpiest music man I ever saw.

I think this is the lyric. No sweet and pure, angelic lass for me, That kinda gal can spin a web, you'll see. She trades on wholesome innocent galore, But it's my independence that she's trading for. The only affirmative she will file Refers to marching down the aisle. No golden, glorious, gleaming pristine goddess-- No sir! For no Diana do I play faun. I can tell you that right now.

No bright-eyed, blushing, breathless baby-doll baby No sir, not that kinda child ties knots no sailor ever knew. I prefer to take a chance on a more adult romance. No dewy young miss Who keeps resisting all the time she keeps insisting! No wide-eyed, wholesome innocent female. Why, she's the fisherman, I'm the fish you see?- I flinch, I shy, when the lass with the delicate air goes by I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in. I hope, and I pray, for a Hester to win just one more "A" The sadder-but-wiser girl's the girl for me. No gigling ice cream soda drinker, out to hook you on the line or stinker? no pun? included out beckoning siren i plugged my ears and i grab my ores and i've flee I cheer, I boo at the puritan hearted angelou I yearn, I longed for the women who'se pop asked what went wrong.

[@kwetzler624]

"The girl with the gownless evening strap?" Did Meredith Wilson write that line?

[@0okamino]

I don't think he did. As far as I know, the third section of the song only exists in this rendition of the song. So, it may have been Seth himself who added those lines.

[@WWEFreak666]

@faith808girl Why does it matter if he's gay or not? Chances are your a girl... and there's a 0.00000001% chance that you could ever get a chance with him.

[@simonastolpner]

Completely amazing! He is so talented!

[@dannavarro7506]

Seth MacFarlane has a good voice, no doubt, but he is no Robert Preston. The lyrics to "The Sadder but Wiser Girl" are meant to be naughty but fun. Preston's version is perfect. But MacFarlane goes further and makes them filthy.

Is this why it takes so long to put out new episodes of The Orville? ♥️

[@Aaron10987]

I believe someone more appropriate for title of Frank Sinatra of Our Generation would be Michael Buble; however, Seth MacFarlane does sing old Franky's tune very well and much like him too. I just wouldn't label him as the Frank Sinatra of Our Generation. Lol, but he's a goddamn great singer

[@Suzisueful]

??? I don't see what you're seeing at all... it's fast paced, but he doesn't seem to be struggling...

[@jacobfranz1204]

If someone tells you there are no longer multi talented entertainers like there use to be, point to Mr. McFarlane, the looks of 40's movie idol, the sex appeal of a 60's teen idol, a singer to rival the great singers of the 50's, a peerless satirist, fine actor, a awesome impressionist, a writer that is easily on the Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Carl Reiner level, an actors director, a comedian that makes you regret the day you gave diapers. He may not be on the Sammy Davis Jr level, no one is, but he really really close. Yep when someone says there are no great entertainers point at Mr. Mc Farlane and make sure you have enough Ketchup for their words.

[@ipodgirl14141]

hes not married. never has been. if you see rachael macfarlane brought up anywhere with his name its cause its his sister. he still single, or dating i should say.
