@@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!
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.
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
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.
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.
@ 35 m in the movie,"URSULA" is seen strumming this guitar! Her mother asks, 'URSULA!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT GUITAR??"" I gotta have that segment....Meanwhile,this song is so bad it's GOOD....as well as "One Last Kiss"....
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.
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.
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!
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.
+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.
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
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 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? ? ? :) :) :)
@@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. :)
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 🤯🤯🥺🌌🤯🤯🤯🤯🌌
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.
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
I mean I really love this movie and Jesse Pearson and Ann Margret even though it was made in 1963 and I was born in 2000 I really love this its a good movie
Wow, I just did tech for this show... and I have to say that the guy in our show sang this song MUCH better than they did in the movie... (maybe because he sounded just like Elvis XD)
I wonder where the Guitar is now. I am a guitar teacher and have always wondered what they did with the guitars. Most likely in some prop room. Jesse Pearson is playing Conrad Birdie. He died at 49 of cancer
Jesse Peterson was fantastic in this scene. Too bad he didn't duplicate it the rest of the movie. Elvis would have been fantastic but Jesse made this scene. Well done Jesse.
in high school i played the mayors wife i had to faint off a platform it hurt haha
How can this not bring a smile to your lips?
I could watch this every freaking day
R.I.P. Jesse Pearson. He was great as Conrad Birdie.
Couldn't agree more. He put this song over magnificently.

Still can’t get over his gorgeous dimples!🥰
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!
Ah suffer ! 😅
Man I love this movie and all the songs that are in it
Back before I was born in 1964 in April. Truly enjoy old songs. One classic hit.
My favorite part of the movie. Hilarious. Especially the mayor’s wife fainting and he’s trying to close her legs! 😂
This whole musical I consider a masterpiece. Filled with great music & comedy.
I love this movie Conrad was the fire❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why do I love this so much?
It was a fantastic musical, the whole thing. Listen to the original Broadway cast recording
Because you have a crush on the King.
CONRAD BIRDIE 🎶 ❤
I LOVE HOW EVERYONE PASSES OUT AT THE END😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is how I felt after my first kiss at a High School dance party, Birdy you are my total hero :)
I saw this at radio city music hall with my mother dnd brother when it came out. I was about 10 and I loved it
This cracks me up every time I see it. Personally I think whoever plays Conway is hilarious in his portrayal, and I dig the gold suit :)
Conrad
Jesse Pearson.
RIP 😔
Bobby Rydell's reaction are perfect.... there's only two but hit the mark......
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.
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
Still love this song after 40 years.
The good ole days!! Nice ,pure crowd.
Aww Baby!
Aww Honey!
Hug Me!
Aww Suffer!
Great treatment of the music!! The classic "rock n roll" feel makes this an awesome piece.
Thank you Tbirds!!!!
What a stud best talent Hollywood and music industry ever produced

segment NOW POSTED on UA-cam!!!!
im doing the play for the musical and this scene is going to be the funnest thing to rehearse... EVER
Love this song lets keep music alive.
I still get chills from this song :D
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.
Were you ok
Nadia Stephens Yeah. Just a few small bruises (and some trust issues with the guy playing the mayor).
agizzy23 lol good to know
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
Bye, bye bertie was&is THE best musical ever made .
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.
you better hide now ricky spanish. the mob is out to get you.

+TbirdsOf1965 very cool, always wondered damn that's Burrell in the movie on the bass, never would have guessed that in a million years.
It belongs in a Museum
i just read that Burrell only played and appeared on the original broadway version, not in the movie
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
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
I have always loved this song and musical. Thank you for posting!
The lost Tales of Hill Valley... (seriously. Same backlot. Same courthouse.) ;)
Always thought this was the catchiest song in the show.
Wow, Birdie's singing is really upstaged by the Mayor's wife's inability to keep her legs closed while unconscious...
My sweet Ma loved it , she laughed and lauy
Nice job on the audio-thanks
We got to thank Family Guy for reviving this song :-)....and Obama for singing it!
From experience, when I sing about a tree... I really feel that tree.
I watched this movie with my parents when i was like eight and i think Conrad Birdie/ Jesse Pearson was my first ever crush!!
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) !

Now I finally get that Family Guy reference
Excellent editing. Love it!
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
this scene is comedy gold
i was part of chorus in bye bye birdie. It was so fun!!
I was birdie in high school. That's when everyone found out I liked Elvis. I even did Elvis impersonations
Nice job..sounds great!!
I'm 62 year's old now I can I remember me calling my sister when this movie was on 📺
Excellent, fun number....
Glad you enjoyed it!
"HUG ME!" "Ahh, suffer."
Priceless!!!
I'm in my school's production of this and this part is my favorite. It is so fun screaming.

Should make movie blue ray great songs. I live movie. I saw play back my high school days 1978 in Hampton Iowa. Still have copy of play actors.

Can you imagine if Elvis was playing Conrad Birdie? He'd be a parody of himself.
@@jasminnemcdonald94A This is precisely the reason why Colonel Parker refused to let it happen. He believed that it would hurt his image.
That’s why I always hated Col Tom Parker
Love this!
Person sings so much better than the new version. I will always rather listen to Jesse sing this song. Nobody did it like him.
Vi muitas vezes esse filme. Muito bom
God I love this movie
Brilliant!
Oh...Ann Marget...do song like ...enjoying everything
That was me in 2010 too! I was this musical that year. :)
Great production number. Annie is gorgeous, the song is cute, but Birdie is a complete DORK!
lol just preformed bye bye birdie for my schools production last week, it went GREAT
thanks, it's nice to hear the good audio.
I SWOON EVERY TIME
Is that the Back To The Future courthouse?
+BMeister22 Looks like it! Nice avatar BTW
Yes, it actually is
maybe they just reused it for budget cuts
BMeister22 This movie was made in 1963
Back To The Future was in 1955 so it was 8 years before (kidding of course). Was meaning that the "set" on the Universal lot was likely there in 1963.
I love ursula's facial expressions 😂
Go girl !!
he was the next Elvis... wth happened? i miss this music/movie. great stuff.
Robert E. Lee class of '78 Bye Bye Birdie - good memories. I was "Rosie" -jaime cole
I mean I really love this movie and Jesse Pearson and Ann Margret even though it was made in 1963 and I was born in 2000 I really love this its a good movie
Elvis eat your heart out
+Joshua Orro Yeah right - not.
Elvis is the reason any of this stuff exists. No one will ever make it close to making Elvis eat his heart out lol.
+Danny Coombes Muse would make Elivs feel like Salieri in the presence of Mozart.
+Adam Floro Muse? random
+weston407 We're comparing great music, are we not?
Wish had on DVDs blueray Quilty soundtrack truly amazing movie A plus.
Jesse Pearson was SO amazing and bigger than life as Birdie. So sad that he passed away in 1979, I believe, from Cancer.
We be doing this at school! Really, our last show is tomorrow. :D It was SO fun!
Gus I love this movie me and my sisters used to dance to Evey song
My ex boyfriend (on and off for three years) played Conrad in bye bye birdie. Tugs at the heart strings a little. we're still friends
2:17 You've gotta be sincere, oh, you've gotta feel it here
my crush performed this for a musical theater showcase and I fucking died lol
i would too lol
My FAV childhood movie scene!
i would faint too
Teddy Lupin SAME
Teddy Lupin. You're Dead. D-E-A-D Dead
You may not consider it Rock 'n Roll but I think Mick Jagger & David Bowie studied this very carefully in their youth.
Ahhh Suffer!
Love it!
Wow, I just did tech for this show... and I have to say that the guy in our show sang this song MUCH better than they did in the movie... (maybe because he sounded just like Elvis XD)
Barack Obama brought me here
that makes two of us
That makes twenty thousand of us

I wonder where the Guitar is now. I am a guitar teacher and have always wondered what they did with the guitars. Most likely in some prop room. Jesse Pearson is playing Conrad Birdie. He died at 49 of cancer
Great movie. I laughed so hard when they did this on the latest Family Guy. Wish they would have done the whole song though - lol
Jesse Pearson sang the song, He also did the part on Broadway !!
Ho Baby I love this movie and more
27 ppl were not honestly sincere
He was actually the first to be offered the role and interested but his management didn't feel it's right for him to be in a movie based on him.
Hahaha oh goodness I love this movie.
i love me some jesse pearson...
Jessie person sang great and so sixty wow
Awesome. My school is doing this and I get to play Rosie. The only women there who's ammune!
Lol at the girl holding the guitar. Her fall was hilarious.
Jesse Peterson was fantastic in this scene. Too bad he didn't duplicate it the rest of the movie. Elvis would have been fantastic but Jesse made this scene. Well done Jesse.
