Finally it gets to air, right here on your UA-cam channel page, after all of these decades. This is the segment which the editor (William Reynolds) apparently left lying on the cutting room floor back in early 1965 after the director (Robert Wise) had been warned by higher authorities NOT to include it in the movie. The audio is the exact same audio that was recorded back then, although this clip appears to be just a little out of sync. I'd heard a rumour that this one ended up in the personal collection of a formerly British domiciled, multi-millionaire store owner. The man has passed away quite recently. It's comforting to know that somebody managed to retrieve it from the trash bin after the cleaner had swept it up and binned it. I'm not going to ask you how it is that you managed to obtain a copy of it, but anyway WELL DONE!

The best parodies can be made from the worst of times, ironically. My mum found her covid parodies, especially "you're in my chair" absolutely hilarious though three of her friends died as it provide humorous relief from the stress of the time. Some of the best comedy is dark. Where covid was concerned nothing happened since the HIV/AIDS pandemic, yet believe it or not at the time of that we still came up with humour around that terrible time. Parodies/comedies can carry a message. In what I mentioned above, there was a HIV/AIDS musical comedy released, the message of it was we need to stop looking at some one to blame, instead we should mobilise and work to find either a cure, immunisation or treatment for it. It has taken over 3 decades to find PrEP, which is not an immunisation but CoViD vaccines were available a few months after the outbreak.

Agreed. I got chills seeing the influx of reddit comments asking if their husbands/partners could find out how they voted. This, to me, said that those questioners are not safe. It's important for people to know that their votes are private, and the records only show that they voted, and not how. It's also important for them to know that there are options, and people willing to help so that they can live a life without that constant fear.
When I was a 7 years old our annual school play was a condensed version of sound of music, my funny little part was to run on stage and yell the Nazi's are coming (3 times), everybody hide! Never thought I might get to say that as an adult in a real life situation someday.

Hi Shirley, great how you summed up all that is making up a "good wife/woman". And how about trying The Blue Danube by Strauss. It's free music and the Catalan group La Trinca used it ages ago.
The one and only one of yours I wish I hadn't sent to my mum, as she replied in a text with "I wish", I am an only child but not from her first pregnancy, but from her 7th. Even going through that pain she has and always will support a womans right to choose.
Francine Moran Hughes (later Wilson; August 17, 1947 - March 22, 2017)[1] was an American woman who, after thirteen years of domestic abuse, set fire to the bed in which her live-in ex-husband Mickey Hughes was sleeping, on March 9, 1977, in Dansville, Michigan. Mickey was killed and the house destroyed in the resulting fire. At trial, Hughes was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity in one of the first cases involving "battered-woman syndrome" as a defense.[
Frightening prospect and pity to the women who can’t have children. Life gave them a hard enough burden without adding to it by making them feel useless. Great content
Pity doesn’t honor anyone. A woman who doesn’t or can’t have children is just as valid and full of potential as you, dear breeding one. Your little darlings are neither trophies or consolation prize. I think you meant well by this comment but it’s a bit patronising.
@@sophieoshaughnessy9469Considering what would happen to these women if Project 2025 gets enacted (Goddess, I hope not!), pity would be needed because these “unwomen” who can’t have kids (and they would be seen as such by MAGA) would be punished for their “sin!”

I think I didn’t express myself well enough; i have a number of girlfriends who desperately wanted children and couldn’t have them. I also have girlfriends who never wanted children.

The ONLY man who could ever tell me what to do was my dad when I was a kid!!!
Thanks so much!
Hi Shirley, great how you summed up all that is making up a "good wife/woman".
And how about trying The Blue Danube by Strauss. It's free music and the Catalan group La Trinca used it ages ago.
BRILLIANT! sharing everywhere !
The one and only one of yours I wish I hadn't sent to my mum, as she replied in a text with "I wish", I am an only child but not from her first pregnancy, but from her 7th. Even going through that pain she has and always will support a womans right to choose.
Your poor mum.
Share, share, share! This message needs to be shared with as many people as possible. Well done, Shirley Serban! Scary stuff!
Thank you, Sue.
Francine Moran Hughes (later Wilson; August 17, 1947 - March 22, 2017)[1] was an American woman who, after thirteen years of domestic abuse, set fire to the bed in which her live-in ex-husband Mickey Hughes was sleeping, on March 9, 1977, in Dansville, Michigan. Mickey was killed and the house destroyed in the resulting fire. At trial, Hughes was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity in one of the first cases involving "battered-woman syndrome" as a defense.[
Frightening prospect and pity to the women who can’t have children. Life gave them a hard enough burden without adding to it by making them feel useless. Great content
Pity doesn’t honor anyone. A woman who doesn’t or can’t have children is just as valid and full of potential as you, dear breeding one. Your little darlings are neither trophies or consolation prize. I think you meant well by this comment but it’s a bit patronising.
@@sophieoshaughnessy9469Considering what would happen to these women if Project 2025 gets enacted (Goddess, I hope not!), pity would be needed because these “unwomen” who can’t have kids (and they would be seen as such by MAGA) would be punished for their “sin!”
Thanks. I have no children but need no pity. Not having them hasn't been a hard burden for me at all.
I think I didn’t express myself well enough; i have a number of girlfriends who desperately wanted children and couldn’t have them. I also have girlfriends who never wanted children. I am full of love and respect for their struggles or choices. Neither group needs someone dumping their garbage opinion about childlessness. I support those who choose and empathize with those who did not get to choose. I hope this clarifies. Sorry if i offended
@@dragondancer1814 Don't confuse Handmaid with the real world, it is still fictional thank the Gods. I have actually read both books not just watched the series. Unwomen where those who were attracted to other women.
Going by what you have said where would my mum fall? I am to her lucky number 7, yet in my family I am the one and only, only child.So she could have a kid, but she also suffered the pain of multiple miscarriages and still births first. This was at a time when the general attitude was, "Well you can try again so no need to get upset".
Excellently made, funny, yet sad that this is a reality the GQP is aiming at.
Wow! I am so impressed that someone who does not live in my country, the United States of America, takes such an interest on, and is knowledgeable about issues here.
Thank you. The impact is felt around the world.
We are all influenced by the USA.
Here in Canada, your political outcomes are as important as our own.
Bless you, bless you, bless you. Music opens hearts. I know that your talented efforts will have people consider the choices newly. God gave us the capacities to co-exist and thrive on this planet. But we must discern the impacts of our choices and adjust when needed. This is a time when we need to have our hearts opened and make intentional choices, to speak up for us all to thrive together. Thank you for skillfully providing the giggle-factor that opens the hearts and pivots us into taking actions in our own lives and in our communities!
Thank you very much, @shirleyjoy2!
Oh my god another hit! Thank you Shirley! Greetings from America.
Thank you!
excellent work on this vid!
Entertaining and packs a powerful punch!
Let's hope everyone who enjoys it, is alarmed etc shares this vid and helps it go viral as is so badly needed!
Much appreciated!
Great video!
This is the better way to fight against the horriric Project 2025.
Greetings from Italy.
Thank you
Til the maga maniacs forbid dissent.
Unfortunately I can't smile anymore
Neither, about this.
Finally it gets to air, right here on this UA-cam channel page, after all of these decades.
Who'd have thought that it would ever see the light of day?
😆
I love you! ❤ this was awesome! Thank you for posting. Humor is medicine in the worst of times. ❤
Thanks so much!
Brilliant. I believe this is your best one yet.
Thanks so much!
You're a true treasure....When I need a smile or some cheer you're the vessel that provides. Thank you Madam!
Thank you.
Excellent parody and only the tip of the toxic iceberg of Project 2025. 😢
Thanks. I wish it were all fiction.
I hit Subscribe immediately on hearing that last sound - reminded me of my own childhood.
Other than that - thanks and good luck, this was really well done.
Thank you, @ZoomStranger!
Ohh..Shirley ❣You are soooo grrreat!!
Run for a President..plz !!🥰😉
Haha - that would not be a good idea!! 🤣
Why not!! 🤣🤗 World would be a better place 🎶
Lots of Love ❣keep up your grrreat sense of huuumor..🤣😉🌟👋
Nice finish there, Shirley.
Thanks!
This is maybe the best thing you have ever done. I have shared it with everyone I know. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
Wow! Now I know I can laugh while the hair on the back of my neck is up
Scary, right?!
I hit subscribe so damn fast bravo
Thank you, @Chowlife!
laughing excellent voice over 💙💃🏻

Thank you for this parody. There were a lot of good points made in this.
Thanks
Well crap, hey people who voted for Trump? Don't say we didn't warn you, this is the America you wanted after all.
ikr? Somehow i ended up on a feed that was pro-Trump. i couldn't believe their elation ....
Wait a couple of years & see how elated you are. 🙄
I did that by accident. Thats a CULT @HelaineGaray
@@HelaineGaray I had this feeling come over me the next day, "they are already having buyer's remorse." Than a video came out explaining tariffs, that also claims "tariffs" had a spike of Google searches (I need to fact check that) and "can I change my vote.
I predict much gnashing of teeth if he imposes those tariffs
A company already laid off 1,000 workers. Might be one of the "front loading" ones who said he is stockpiling materials he will need for September 2026 production.
But trump has never been known to keep promises. Vance, Elon Musk and Bobby as Secretary of Health ~ what could go wrong?
Will Jared still be in WH brokering more Middle East biz deal?
Not me but I’m still stuck in this country.
Brilliant! That ending... O_O
Thank you
Clever and terrifying, well done.
Thank you!
@Shirley Șerban, This parody is brilliant and chilling at the same time. I shared it publicly on Facebook. Thank you for helping to spread the word!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing this! ❤
You're welcome.
This is well done! 👏👏
Thanks so much!
I love the movie. Brilliant cover & lyrics. Thank you Shirley!
Thank you too!
well, time to become a nun…
He came in at the end like "Stop singing, Wife. Don't sing about wanting more."😅
A reality for some women.
This is so well made and amazing and awesome and terrifying 😂 Well done job. Also everyone to keep this just a “funny song”, VOTE!! 💙 DONT BE COMPLACENT!
Thank you!
I'm not in america but i genuinely hope nothing to this extremity happens.
Same on both counts.
This is absolutely brilliant, yet, rings very true in the America we live in...
Sadly...
I love you spreading important news for people to know and understand in a fun way
Thank you, @JoyfulVibes384!
Well done! That was funny scary though. Holding my breath for the next month.
Same!
Brilliant!!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this...
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for your creation, it's absolute genius! I will share on my FB page!
Awesome, thank you!
Just brilliant 😂💙💙💙💙
Thanks so much!
This was brilliant
Thank you!
I wish this was still a parody
TY dear from a single 🐶 lady in USA 💞💞💞
You're welcome!
Couldn't be more true! Vote vote vote Freedom Harris and Walz
So we Americans either vote for Haris or be subject to Fascist idiots!😮
@@christinelouisec6869 this is an election year.
@@hackman669never thought it’d come to this. But here we are 😿
@@hackman669 Sadly so democracy is far from perfect but is better than the alternative.
@@steviewondek Needs work like adding more requirements to be president. Example, sanity test, basic skills and mental health test, no history of bribes or organized crime, volunteer hours with the need or group outside one's comfort zone, basic level of education above high school, knowledge of government, must have experience of public service and understanding of diverse populations and world events.
"Tariffs! ... Sonograms!" 🤣
I laughed my ass off when what's her name walked into the room and the word "SONOGRAM" came up.
This is funny if it wasnt so real as to what could happen. Dont let it. Vote accordingly.
WOW!! SUPERB! I still don't know if I should laugh or get really scared... Yup, I'll panic.😅😢 Greetings from México
Don't get scared, Gloria. I truly want to believe that common sense will prevail.
Sadly, as Voltaire said, common sense is not so common. But I pray that in the end people will choose the right way
That was funny. Good one.
Thanks!
This was Jaw Dropping Excellent. Absolute perfection. I subscribed and shared with several others. So glad I found you! 🤗
Thanks so much, Cheryl.
Why is our reality always the messed up one😭 0:04
OMG you did nail it !!!👍
Brilliant! 😊
Thanks! 😊
Damn, this sure puts it in perspective. Thanks for shining a spotlight on these (use your own word or words). I'm going to show this to my mother right away. She doesn't need it. I just think she will appreciate it.
So glad you liked it - thank you!
I'll be checking your other videos. I'm sure they'll be just as excellent. I did show this to my mother. She was quite impressed.
The sad truth is it will come true in a bad way
Sarcasm is one of the best weapons against tyranny. So much truth in the video, where you don't know if you should laugh or cry. Great parody of one of my favorite numbers from the movie. I hope America will vote wisely.
Thank you. I hope so too!
Dont forget the removal of the DOE and special education, disability benefits, disability funding, and free health care.
Powerful! Well done Shirley
Thank you, @AmeliaRose1212.
