- "Steamboat Bill" is a song sung by Arthur Collins in 1911. It was much loved and appeared in lots of popular media. There is a 1928 film named "Steamboat Bill Jr" that is named after the song, and the song is played in the famous 1928 cartoon "Steamboat Willie." Hope you enjoy.
You have to admire Arthur Collins' diction, it's usually not that easy to catch the lyrics from recordings this old.
not really- unless it's poorly recorded or a worn record, most recordings should be easy to interpret.
@@gunnarthefeisty I’ve heard the abrasive compounds put into the records breakdown and expand overtime causing a reduction in quality. Specifically sulfur. This would tie in since older records pre electrical era had more of these compounds.
for being recorded before electric microphones were in use, the quality is impressive
@@charliedavidson4925 I've never heard of that, but I know even with the compounds that wear the needle down, and replacing them, that they still wear the record after enough time, and it's usually more noticeable on acoustic ones cause they were recorded at a lower "volume" than electric ones.
Mickey Mouse brought me here
Shesez Same
Typing in 'Arthur Collins' is what Brought me here.
Shesez Heeeeeeyyyyyyyyy..... It's Shesez!
Shesez OMG, I found you again! Nice KH2 video
Boundary Break Shesez himself, I never thought I would see you here.
108 some years later and it’s still an entertaining song.
CX years now.
Now that 1928’s Mickey is in public domain, I’m searching for inspiration
haha
I highly recommend listening to the 1930 Paul Tremaine Orchestra version. Sounds more like what they'd base stuff off of then the 1911 Arthur Collins one.
Is anyone else here after Steamboat Willie entered the public domain?
Me
Yes!
Yes, and now they're making a horror movie. Leave creepy Mickey to Radiance and the Five Nights at Treasure Island team
no

Holy... wow. This song came out only 46 years after the American Civil War. That makes it... 105 years old.
That is insane. Time is such a weird thing. There were people alive at this time that could remember the Jackson administration and had potentially met people who knew George Washington. Also another interesting thing. Irving Berlin, one of the most prominent song writers of all time was born in 1888 and died in 1989. He lived through the era of March, Rag, Tin Pan Alley, Jazz, Rock n' Roll, 60s Psychedila, Soul, Funk, Disco, New Wave, Metal and the beginnings of Hip Hop. Sousa was the king of music at the beginning of his life and Nirvana's first album was released a couple months before his death. He would have been 22, a year older than I am, at the time of this video.
112 now
There's a recording from before the Civil War. 1860- 'Au Clair de la Lune'.
PLEASE HELP IVE BEEN STUCK INSIDE THIS MOUSE FOR 95 F*CKING YEARS
fuckingly great
Funniest thing was, I didn't know what that song was widely recognized as until my sister was playing it through her phone. I asked her, "what are you watching?" and that's how I realized that most people know it as the "Disney song."
boy with the audio quality being what it is already, playing it over the phone sounds like it'd just be noise.
You make it seem like those people who see an unpopular song used in some new popular thing and say "If you came from this thing you're not true fan!"
I'm from the UK and my grandfather had a steamboat very small but very cool and he was from Louisiana and he would sing this song when he sailed
If you think about it, steamboat willie can technically be called steamboat bill, since bill is short for William….for some reason.
Buster Keaton! I came here because of Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill Jr. A good movie. I'd recommend it to anyone.
@@Billy219 Poor you.
One of my favourite songs!
Why is this song so dark yet, so happy
@@aileen9553 the lyrics are dark (about a tragedy of a ship blowing up) while the tune sounds so jolly
I guess I pay more attention to the tune.
*whistle at the melody*
*got flashbacks instantly*
This video is about to blow up in views....
I love the way he says Bill. :D "Bee-yull."
107 years later and this song is still a bop
Memories back to "Steamboat Willy". The best blank and white short I've ever seen. 😁
Fun fact: If you put this on 1.25x speed it will sound like Steamboat Willie.
@@Austro5678it Steamboat Willie no Willy
@@jamircox8458 I updated it so thanks for the feedback and corrections 👍

Walt Disney was 9 when this song was written, that's like if i grew up to become a animator and in my first famous cartoon the main character sings gangnam style
Why that cringe song tho
King Mickey whistled this in Steamboat Willie as a reference to this song, which I think the cartoon was supposed to be a reference to this song.
Very clever, Walt, you brilliant wizard.
It was actually just a public domain song that they used because they couldn't afford a composer. Or rather, they _thought_ it was in the public domain. It actually wasn't. They used it in Steamboat Willie because the lyrics synced up with the premise of the episode, and the tune is catchy!
Shai'tan Father of Lies Why couldn't they afford a composer at the time?
+Sora Song well you have to remember that animation was a huge expense at the time, plus the great depression was around that time. although I doubt this was at all public domain in it's time, more than likely it was because of the premise of the cartoon.
tanookitoad979 The ice cream trucked played this today.
awesome! for the fact that, 1. you still get ice cream trucks near you, and 2. for the fact that this song has been played once again in the public.
Man, this is 110 years old by now.

STEAMBOAT BILLY
WE ARE MAKING IT OUT OF THE STEAMBOAT WITH THIS ONE! 🗣🔥💯
This will be stuck in my head all day now.
Down the Mississippi steamed the Whipporwill
Commanded by the pilot, Mister Steamboat Bill
The owners gave him orders on the strict Q.T.
To try to beat the record of the Robert E. Lee.
Just speed up your fire, let the old smoke roll
Burn up all your cargo if you run out of coal
"If we don't beat that record," Billy told the mate
"Then the Maiden Care'll beat us to the Golden Gate."
Oh, Steamboat Bill, steamin' down the Mississippi
Steamboat Bill, a mighty man was he
Oh, Steamboat Bill, steamin' down the Mississippi
Gonna beat the record of the Robert E. Lee.
Up then stepped a gambling man from Louisville
Who tried to get a bet against the Whippoorwill
Billy clasped the roll and surely was some bear
The boiler it exploded, blew them up in the air.
The gambler said to Billy as they left the wreck
"I don't know where we're going but we're neck and neck."
Said Billy to the gambler, "Tell you what I'll do;
I'll bet another thousand I'll go higher than you!"
Steamboat Bill, he tore up the Mississippi
Steamboat Bill, the pilot made him swear
Steamboat Bill, he tore up the Mississippi
An explosion of the boiler put him up in the air!
The river's all in mourning now for Steamboat Bill
No more you'll hear the popping of the Whippoorwill
There's crepe on every steamboat that plows the stream
From Memphis right to Natchez, down to New Orleans.
The wife of Mister William was at home in bed
When she got the telegram that Steamboat's dead
Said she to the children, "Blessed Honey Lambs
The next papa that you have'll be a railroad man!"
Steamboat Bill, missing 'long the Mississippi
Steamboat Bill is with an angel band
Steamboat Bill, missing 'long the Mississippi
He's a fireman on a ferry in the Promised Land!

Until I read Neal Gabler's biography of Walt Disney I didn't know that tune Mickey whistles at the start of "Steamboat Willie" had a name... "Steamboat Bill"!
I've never heard the whole thing, however.
I was wondering why did they put Mickey on thumbnail.. but seeing the comments, I got it. I didn't know this song was featured in Mickey's cartoon.
Btw, Arthur Collins is a great artist, his recordings has such a nice and clean voice, as such as Ada Jones, Billy Murray and Morton Harvey.
Amazing! I never knew this was the origin of the Steamboat Willie theme! It's Disney's boilerplate tune now for all of their film intros.. a shame they don't pay credit where credit's due
When this song was used in steamboat willie it was only 13 years old, quite a topical reference for the time I guess
This reminds me of "Port Orleans" Disney hotel, every time i come back to listen, it's like i'm still there. God do I want to go back :(
For when the time comes, we may meet again in the garden of love known as Heaven.
who are you talking about?
Nice song, reminds me of the sea and of a mischievous rat.
I love this

@@Billy219 well then enjoy the downvote.
@@Billy219 Explain to me how you are not to be regarded as a silly shit.
The song was composed in 1911, it is assumed that it is already in the public domain. My question is if you have problems monetize the song.
YOU'RE TELLING ME IT AINT FROM THE RAT
Mark Twain died the year before this was released.
We knew that, odd shit.
i was gonna like your comment until i noticed your pfp and was like "oh."

Kind of like 1910s rapping. 😂
It sounds like he’s singing “Dill” instead of “Bill”.

he is mickey's true ancestor! because mickey sang that later
*Whistles along to this song like Mickey Mouse.

Up them said the gambling man from Louisville,
Who tried to get a bet against the Whippoorwill.
Billy flashed a roll that surely was a bear,
The boiler, it exploded, blew them up in the air.
The gambler said to Billy as they left the wreck,
"I don't know where we're going, but we're neck-and-neck!"
Said Bill to the gambler,

Dans le Mississippi, le Whipporwill
Commandé par le pilote, Mister Steamboat Bill
Les propriétaires lui ont donné des ordres sur le strict Q.T.
Pour essayer de battre le record du Robert E. Lee.
Accélère ton feu, laisse la vieille fumée rouler
Brûlez toute votre cargaison si vous manquez de charbon
"Si on ne bat pas ce record," a dit Billy au pote
"Alors le Maiden Care nous devancera au Golden Gate."
CHORUS NO. 1 :
Oh, Steamboat Bill, qui dévale le Mississippi
Steamboat Bill, un homme puissant était-il
Oh, Steamboat Bill, qui dévale le Mississippi
Je vais battre le record de Robert E. Lee.
Puis un joueur de Louisville s’est levé
Qui a essayé d’obtenir un pari contre le Whippoorwill
Billy a claqué le rouleau et était sûrement un ours
La chaudière a explosé, les a fait sauter en l’air.
Le joueur dit à Billy qu’ils ont quitté l’épave
"Je ne sais pas où on va, mais on est au coude à coude."
Dit Billy au joueur, "Dis-toi ce que je vais faire;
Je parie mille de plus que j’irai plus haut que vous!
CHORUS NO. 2 :
Oh, Steamboat Bill, il a déchiré le Mississippi
Oh, Steamboat Bill, le pilote l’a fait jurer
Oh, Steamboat Bill, il a déchiré le Mississippi
Une explosion de la chaudière l’a mis en l’air !
La rivière est en deuil pour Steamboat Bill
Tu n’entendras plus le bruit du Whippoorwill
Il y a de la crêpe sur chaque bateau à vapeur qui chasse le courant de Memphis jusqu’à Natchez, jusqu’à la Nouvelle-Orléans.
La femme de Monsieur William était à la maison dans son lit
Quand elle a reçu le télégramme que Steamboat est mort
Dit-elle aux enfants : « Bénis soient les agneaux
Le prochain papa que vous aurez sera un cheminot!
CHORUS NO. 3 :
Oh, Steamboat Bill, il manque le Mississippi
Oh, Steamboat Bill est avec un groupe d’anges
Oh, Steamboat Bill, il manque le Mississippi
C’est un pompier sur un ferry dans la Terre Promise !
