YUP ! Just like ZOOEY DESCHANEL... Leon can sing anything and I want to hear it 👍 ! When ZOOEY does sing the phone book I also want to listen and when she does, my heart goes PITTER PATTER 🥰🥰🥰 !!! (🙄 A little 😁)
There was a slight rerecording of this from 1991 on Harry and the Hendersons, again, Leon performed that rendition. He had been everywhere in the late 1980s. He was also known for taking an unconventional approach to theme music for a sitcom called "Mr. Belvedere," a ragtime-Dixieland romp.
Lyrics: What-what-what? Way up north in a house that's new There were four of us: me, your big feet, and you From your ankle up I'd say you're sure sweet From there down you just too much feet Oh your feets too big! Don't want you cause your feets too big! Can't use you cause your feets too big! I love you cause your feets too big! Oh your feets too big! Don't want you cause your feets too big! Mad at you cause your feets too big! I love you even if your feets too big! Where'd you get 'em? How you get 'em? Where'd you get 'em? Well, I got 'em! Your girl, she likes you she thinks you're nice You got what it takes to take her to paradise She says she likes your face, she loves your rig But man oh man, them things are too big Your feets too big! Don't want you cause your feets too big! Can't use you cause your feets too big! I love you cause your feets too big! Oh your feets too big! Don't want you cause your feets too big! Mad at you cause your feets too big! I love you even if your feets too big! Your pedal extremities are colossal To me you look like a fossil You got me walking talking and squawking Cause your feets too big! Where'd you get 'em? How'd you get 'em? Where'd you get 'em? How'd you get 'em! In the sports, it's there where you shine In washing dishes baby you're divine! You shine in sports like swimming and duckin' Oh boy! When it comes to truckin'! Your feets too big! Don't want you cause your feets too big! Can't use you cause your feets too big! I love you cause your feets too big! Oh your feets too big! Don't want you cause your feets too big! Mad at you cause your feets too big! I love you even if your feets too big! Your pedal extremities are colossal To me you look like a fossil You got me walking talking and squawking Cause your feets too big!

You sure ? 1936 was original writer FRED FISCHER with Lyrics by Ada Benson, and yes, probably "FATS' did sing it when AL CAPONE hijacked him at $100 a song, 💰! in those days ! PS. I knows sometimes even I have the problem of having" MY FEETS TOO BIG" when eating at the table 😖. Lol
The theme song to Harry and the Hendersons, one of my favorite shows growing up. 😊
YUP !
Just like ZOOEY DESCHANEL...
Leon can sing anything and I want to hear it 👍 !
When ZOOEY does sing the phone book I also want to listen and when she does, my heart goes PITTER PATTER 🥰🥰🥰 !!!
(🙄 A little 😁)
Such a great talent lost. At least we still have his music!
I love the way the bass slaps at the end!
There was so much good to that old music.
He could sing the phone book and make it sound good!
Wonderful music and so is sense of humor...terrific stuff...his music will live on...so sorry Leon has gone to meet with God, way to young!
God and the angels in Heaven must be having a ball!
R.I.P.
Great memories.
Love this song
oooooohhhh goood tune, one I can never hear enough!
me too I love it
Genius
That's the opening to Harry and the Hendersons. I wish they put it back on the air.
That's funny! Now I have to watch it just to see that. I don't remember it.
Lemon Pandemic Well, I'm trying to remember it. I haven't seen it in a long time.
I miss the show, but the storylines weren’t something that could go past a season. I liked it because it reminded me of ALF.
I watched this show in Spanish, I always watched it after school. 😊

My favorite!!!
Haven't heard this version before.
Really good.
Also have a listen to the UK version by George Melly and the Feetwarmers
Derek. London
As much as Fats' original is a delight, Leon's is so lyrical
So gooood!
Lyrics:
What-what-what?
Way up north in a house that's new
There were four of us: me, your big feet, and you
From your ankle up I'd say you're sure sweet
From there down you just too much feet
Oh your feets too big!
Don't want you cause your feets too big!
Can't use you cause your feets too big!
I love you cause your feets too big!
Oh your feets too big!
Don't want you cause your feets too big!
Mad at you cause your feets too big!
I love you even if your feets too big!
Where'd you get 'em?
How you get 'em?
Where'd you get 'em?
Well, I got 'em!
Your girl, she likes you she thinks you're nice
You got what it takes to take her to paradise
She says she likes your face, she loves your rig
But man oh man, them things are too big
Your feets too big!
Don't want you cause your feets too big!
Can't use you cause your feets too big!
I love you cause your feets too big!
Oh your feets too big!
Don't want you cause your feets too big!
Mad at you cause your feets too big!
I love you even if your feets too big!
Your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look like a fossil
You got me walking talking and squawking
Cause your feets too big!
Where'd you get 'em?
How'd you get 'em?
Where'd you get 'em?
How'd you get 'em!
In the sports, it's there where you shine
In washing dishes baby you're divine!
You shine in sports like swimming and duckin'
Oh boy! When it comes to truckin'!
Your feets too big!
Don't want you cause your feets too big!
Can't use you cause your feets too big!
I love you cause your feets too big!
Oh your feets too big!
Don't want you cause your feets too big!
Mad at you cause your feets too big!
I love you even if your feets too big!
Your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look like a fossil
You got me walking talking and squawking
Cause your feets too big!
Keon, you are my ater-ego. Thank you for you have given us.
ohhhh
I wish I had that problem, one of my feet is too small the other is too big

I hate to say it, but I like this version even better than Fats Waller's. Redbone was a rare talent.
well said
a trick : you can watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Brecken Peter Definitely, have been using Kaldrostream for since november myself =)
@Brecken Peter Yea, I've been watching on kaldroStream for months myself :)
@Brecken Peter yea, been watching on Kaldrostream for years myself :D
RIP Leon.
Most popular anti-foot-binding song every to hit the airwaves...
The Real thing...............
Big feet..fair comment Leon.
I have those big feet. It sucks.
harry and the hendersons theme
Pretty good, but you've gotta listen to the Fats Waller version (the original).
Amy: You're 110% right. Fats Waller made this song and, frankly, I don't know why anyone would try to record after good ol' (young actually) FW.
I'd say cause it's a great song.
You sure ?
1936 was original writer FRED FISCHER with Lyrics by Ada Benson, and yes, probably "FATS' did sing it when AL CAPONE hijacked him at $100 a song, 💰! in those days !

Lol
@@johnnyp8979 Thanks for the info, but it doesn't answer the question of who sang it first.
@@amymack1954
Believe it was Fats Waller in '39 😊
(There may have been a couple others but FATS was the famous one 👍
I want to be seduced is my favorite !
