Bye Bye Birdie HONESTLY SINCERE 1963 STEREO Jesse Pearson Ann Margret

[@alevine1951]

How can this not bring a smile to your lips?

[@elwandabennett]

I could watch this every freaking day

[@Goedhartbros]

R.I.P. Jesse Pearson. He was great as Conrad Birdie.

[@anthonycastaldi4745]

Couldn't agree more. He put this song over magnificently.

[@KatharineDalton-xv5ud]

@@anthonycastaldi4745 I absolutely love this! Jesse Pearson put this over perfectly. His facial expressions, his dancing, and the way he said "sincere-ah" were hilarious! Of course, the mayor had to keep his wife's knees together when she fainted, and that made the scene even funnier! Jesse Pearson really faded into obscurity after this spot on take of Elvis, and I could never understand why. He was since-a-ly brilliant in the role of Conrad Birdy!

[@SuperSusieBell]

Still can’t get over his gorgeous dimples!🥰

[@alexanderpetersen9853]

This is how I felt after my first kiss at a High School dance party, Birdy you are my total hero :)

[@bluestarlighting29]

Back before I was born in 1964 in April. Truly enjoy old songs. One classic hit.

[@barbiecota6691]

Man I love this movie and all the songs that are in it

[@averageguy2525]

This whole musical I consider a masterpiece. Filled with great music & comedy.

[@Broadwaygirl01]

My school is doing this play and our Conrad is hysterical. The first time he sang this song we all just about died we were laughing so hard.

[@JColegreenEyes]

good memories. Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Tx. Class of '78 Spring Musical. I was "Rosie". RIP Richard Martinez who played Conrad. -jaimecole

The good ole days!! Nice ,pure crowd.

[@ITSMAIAJENKINS]

i really love how the mayor's wife always faints with her legs open. it's a minor detail, but totally relates to how birdie (elvis) affected women of this time.

It is too hysterical!

[@kawboy14]

Ah suffer ! 😅

[@mr.burgerbucket1819]

Still love this song after 40 years.

[@Elainerulesutube]

This is one of the best parts of this movie. I understand there were two Fender Jaguar guitars made for the movie. Jesse Pearson died of cancer in December, 1979.

[@HeyKim0012]

Why do I love this so much?

[@Janine11155]

It was a fantastic musical, the whole thing. Listen to the original Broadway cast recording

[@kawboy14]

Because you have a crush on the King. CONRAD BIRDIE 🎶 ❤

What a stud best talent Hollywood and music industry ever produced

[@mermaidchick1925]

in high school i played the mayors wife i had to faint off a platform it hurt haha

I watched this movie with my parents when i was like eight and i think Conrad Birdie/ Jesse Pearson was my first ever crush!!

[@RiverBirchProd]

Thanks TbirdsOf1965 for posting the best scene in the film and for adding the excellent audio track. This was a highlight of my youth, fun to re-live it.

[@Elpadre907]

Great treatment of the music!! The classic "rock n roll" feel makes this an awesome piece. Thank you Tbirds!!!!

[@trian42]

"Awww Suffer" ... I love this song!!

[@tmr101386]

I was birdie in high school. That's when everyone found out I liked Elvis. I even did Elvis impersonations

[@dbonyadi]

My favorite part of the movie. Hilarious. Especially the mayor’s wife fainting and he’s trying to close her legs! 😂

[@Hyphen288]

I still get chills from this song :D

[@bluestarlighting29]

Love this song lets keep music alive.

im doing the play for the musical and this scene is going to be the funnest thing to rehearse... EVER

Got see this in my Jr high school play acting theater in 1978. One greatest hit song. Awesome film movie. Have this film movie. Back my jr high school have Booklet. Back then. In IA. Do have film movie. So sad he past away. One Greatest Song. Do have soundtrack album

[@cutie4u61288]

[@ganados0]

Many thanks to Family Guy for introducing me to this film, The Music Man and Sound of Music. They have a habit of referencing some cool if obscure stuff.

[@fishflavoredicecream]

you better hide now ricky spanish. the mob is out to get you.

[@allisoncollins9178]

Ricky Spanish that's cool that Family Guy introduced you to older classics, but I wouldn't call any of those titles obscure. You're right that they reference older movies regularly though, especially The Sound of Music. In fact, I made a list once of all the SoM references because I kept noticing them, and there were like eight. Seth MacFarlane must love musicals!

[@Childofstorms]

Lol, when my school did this play, the guy that played conrad would not dance on the stage, then opening night he shocked all of us. So hilarious XD

[@bobmoslow9554]

Nice job on the audio-thanks

[@alex20776a]

We got to thank Family Guy for reviving this song :-)....and Obama for singing it!

[@Zzzk23]

I remember back in 6th grade we did this musical. I played the Mayor's wife (the old woman who faints). During one rehearsal the dude playing the mayor didn't realize we started and he didn't catch me.

[@nadiastephens5425]

Were you ok

[@Zzzk23]

Nadia Stephens Yeah. Just a few small bruises (and some trust issues with the guy playing the mayor).

[@nadiastephens5425]

[@queenstar1453]

I'm in 6th grade and my middle school is doing it! I don't have a part because the 7th and 8th graders have the roles

[@crystalhanson1483]

I've always LOVED Birdie's BEAUTIFUL Guitar, sounds great and the "C O L O R S" black and "G O L D" ! If there were any Guitars like those, after the Movie, I'd think they would SELL OUT (with Birdie's name) !

[@TbirdsOf1965]

Glad you noticed it. I wrote a bit about it in the description.

[@crystalhanson1483]

@@TbirdsOf1965 When Elvis did his 1968 Comeback Special; the sit down part in a black leather out fit; "I thought that guitar (SORRY) sounded like the Conrad Birdie Guitar from Bye, Bye Birdie" :) I liked the RIFF Elvis kept playing and playing on that guitar :) I checked the internet and the 68 Comeback Special guitar was a Flaming Red 1968 Hagstrom Viking II; was Auctioned Off; March 2021; by Kruse GWS Auctions. I SURE LIKE THE SOUND OF THOSE GUITARS. (joking here) Now! "IF"? That Flaming Red 68 Hagstrom Viking II was the COLORS; GOLD and BLACK, Birdie's Guitar. . .Would Ann-Margret's Fans and Elvis' Fans have went WILD and bought those guitars? ? ? :) :) :)

[@TbirdsOf1965]

@@crystalhanson1483 Well, those two guitars were just regular production guitars available at the time - the sit down one was a 1963 Gibson Super 400 CES that Scotty Moore bought new in Oct. 1963 for $472. They sell for well over $10,000 today used. The Red 68 Hagstrom Viking II was actually owned by Al Casey who was in the backing band that day of the special. Its worth about $1300 today. Both are hollow body guitars. The one Birdie uses in the film was a solid body custom Fender Jaguar, made specifically for the movie. They only made 2 of 'em for the movie. Its not even the guitar being played in the song, as its studio musicians actually played the song, with Jesse Pearson singing. One is owned by the Hard Rock Cafe, today. :)

Excellent editing. Love it!

[@toreytelevision]

I'm in my school's production of this and this part is my favorite. It is so fun screaming.

[@penelopelopez8296]

Person sings so much better than the new version. I will always rather listen to Jesse sing this song. Nobody did it like him.

[@chummanki9711]

I noticed a little detail - Kim's Conrad Birdie pin is on her right, whilst her steady pin from Hugo is on her left. That means that Kim has a fan girl crush on Conrad ( like many girls in Sweet Apple ), yet she actually truly loves Hugo. Her being torn between her fan girl crush on Conrad and her love for Hugo is a central theme for her arc in Bye Bye Birdie. In the end, after many melodramas and of course after Hugo infamously punched Conrad ON LIVE TV NEAR THE END - Kim got rid of her Conrad badge and chooses to stay devoted to Hugo, leaving her fan girl days behind her 🤯🤯🥺🌌🤯🤯🤯🤯🌌

[@lilneri88]

See back my high days had play this movie was dream come true back 1978. Enjoy song and lots music. Wish had on Blueray DVDs

Wow, Birdie's singing is really upstaged by the Mayor's wife's inability to keep her legs closed while unconscious...

[@RosemaryBlantonCrosslin]

My sweet Ma loved it , she laughed and lauy

[@recordguy4321]

That guitar should be in the SMITHSONIAN!! i wonder who's playing that killer bass line, probably someone from the Wrecking Crew studio band in hollywood.

[@TbirdsOf1965]

+roughtake Kenny Burrell is on the red fender bass behind Jesse Pearson when the bassline begins, but I don't know if he played the bass in the actual song. Wrecking Crew guys Howard Roberts and Tommy Tedesco were on guitars in the movie soundtrack.

[@recordguy4321]

+TbirdsOf1965 very cool, always wondered damn that's Burrell in the movie on the bass, never would have guessed that in a million years.

[@rakeere8761]

It belongs in a Museum

[@recordguy4321]

i just read that Burrell only played and appeared on the original broadway version, not in the movie

[@edtracker47]

Excellent, fun number....

[@TbirdsOf1965]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tammymc63]

Love this movie, I grew up watching this. They actually wanted Elvis to play the part of Conrad Birdie, But Colonel Parker refused to let him. So Jesse Pearson who was already doing the part on Broadway got the movie role, Sadly Jesse Pearson passed away from cancer in 1975.

[@Janine11155]

It's Dick Gautier in the original Broadway recording on CBS Records. He was absolutely great, he originated the part and got a Tony nomination for it in 1960. Hilariously fantastic also as Hymie the Robot on Get Smart

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

Can you imagine if Elvis was playing Conrad Birdie? He'd be a parody of himself.

[@danielh3179]

@@jasminnemcdonald94A This is precisely the reason why Colonel Parker refused to let it happen. He believed that it would hurt his image.
