Always loved Debbie Reynolds. Wonderful singer and dancer. I even enjoyed The Singing Nun. Debbie makes everything work and I love her sense of humor. Thank you for all your wonderful work. Rock on, Debbie Reynolds!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi guys, I posted this elsewhere; but this seems to the folks that made this. This had been camp, but those last 50 seconds could make this special for this 50th Stonewall year. I saw this being shown to Pete Seeger in a UA-cam elsewhere on the web, and I think the people who showed it to him may have half-expected him to object. But Pete Seeger from the start said something like "The song never LOOKED so good!" As he went on, he seemed glad that Peter Paul and Mary had played around with it and what they did made it successful, where it had not made that huge an impact a decade or so earlier. It made me think about where the lyric revision Debbie uses here goes, in what I know we've thought a campy sensibility, and winds up around 2:16 - adding these extra lyrics to the love between your brothers and your sisters which is in all versions- "Love between all of your brothers, And love between all of your sisters, All over this land." which I think is not in any other version. While the whole thing is still a hoot, could the intent have been what feels so clearly spelled out and added at the end: adding in love between men and love between women.
the arrangemente for 'If I had a hammer' may be 'corny' but the clip is fantastic... the Oscar Niemeyer-inspired shapes are really 'modernist'... a lot of class!!!
I actually like this really campy version of the song. I think she was intelligent enough to know it was a protest song and she made it into a MGM thing because that was who she was. She made it into her own and it's really interesting as a result.
typical scopitone...bizarre like nothing else, overdone to the max, and yet, in a way, satisfying The song itself is folk-so just have debbie singing in a shirt and jeans-she done it before but nooo they made a big dance hollywood number which doesnt fit the intimate folk nature of the song thus...bizarre like nothing else andoverdone to the max yet, in a way... satisfying

You can tell she's *reading* these lyrics. Debbie's looking to her right.
Debbie could make grass fun.

Astute!
@@rickpeters7203 I hate to admit it, but I used to think "astute" meant fart.
I want to smoke copious amounts of pot to this, silly!
Her musicals at MGM werent corny but this sure is.

It's almost as if they purposely made this to prove that the older generation didn't have a clue about the new protest songs.
Pete Seeger should have taken an ax to this instead! Well done, but, GAWD!! It's a folk song, not a show-stopping number!
You're no fun. People remember Debbie Reynolds, not Pete Seeger.
@@taraniso They remember both! I hope...
Well this certainly is cringeworthy.
not everything u dont get is cringy bby
