Yeah I agree. I’ll be honest I had never seen this movie before today and I watched it and while I enjoyed both segments I was surprised by how much I liked the Sleepy Hallow segment. Both this song and the Katrina songs are both underrated.
Grew up watching this every Halloween, my dad was sick of this song whenever I was over at his place lol. 30+ years and it's still a good song. I've actually been over covered bridges..and at night they are creepy as all get out. Heck a local park has a covered walking bridge over the creek..I like to chill out there and read, it's on the longer path so it's not as used.
@@ShinKyuubi That’s so cool that you get the experience them! I live in Chicago and we just don’t have those here. Not locally anyway, maybe on the country side.
The horseman was a Hessian mercenary, sent to these shores by German princes to keep Americans under the yoke of England, but unlike his compatriots who came for money, the Horseman came for the love of carnage. When battle was joined, there you'd find him. - Baltus van Tassel, Sleepy Hollow (1999)
There are actually 2 different stories about how the horseman lost his head. The first is that he had his head cut off by an enemy soldier. The 2nd and the one I find most interesting is that he had his head blown off by a cannonball shot at him.
(Speech in rhyme) Brom: Just gather ’round and I’ll elucidate on what goes on outside when it gets late. ’Long about midnight, The ghosts and banshees, They get together for their nightly jamboree. There’s things with horns and saucer eyes some with fangs about this size. (Speech) Woman #1: Some are fat. Woman #2: And some are thin. Creepy Man: And some don’t even wear their skin! (Speech in rhyme) Brom: Oh, I’m telling you, brother, it’s a frightful sight to see what goes on Halloween night. Oh, when the spooks have a midnight jamboree, they break it up with fiendish glee. Ghosts are bad, but the one that’s cursed is the Headless Horseman, he’s the worst. Chorus: That’s right, he’s a fright on Halloween night. Brom: When he goes a-joggin’ ’cross the land, holdin’ his noggin in his hand, demons take one look and groan, and hit the road for parts unknown. Chorus: Beware, take care, he rides alone. Brom: And there’s no spook like the spook that’s spurned. Chorus: They don’t like him, and he’s really burned. Brom: He swears to the longest day he’s dead, All: He’ll show them that he can get a head. Brom: They say he’s tired of his flamin’ top, He’s got a yen to make a swap. So he rides one night each year to find a head in the Hollow here. Women: Now, he likes them little, he likes them big. Men: Parted in the middle, or a wig. Chorus: Black or white, or even red. Brom: The Headless Horseman needs a head. All: With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop, he’s out looking for a top to chop. Brom: So don’t stop to figure out a plan, All: you can’t reason with a headless man. (Speech in rhyme) Brom: Now, if you doubt this tale is so, I met that spook just a year ago. Now, I didn’t stop for a second look, but made for the bridge that spans the brook. For once you cross that bridge, my friends, Chorus: The ghost is through, his power ends. Brom: So, when you’re riding home tonight, make for the bridge with all your might. He’ll be down in the Hollow there. He needs your head. Look out! Beware! Women: With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop, Men: He’s out looking for a head to swap. All: So, don’t try to figure out a plan, you can’t reason with a HEADLESS MAN!
I love Thurl Ravenscroft, but Bing Crosby just sounds better on this song than him. I wish this version existed in a more official capacity outside of the original film :( and if it does, its not on spotify or Apple Music
i found something interesting. upon researching the headless horseman, I've found that the headless horseman and brom van brunt (the dude singing most of the song) are related. the headless horseman before death was known as Abraham van brunt, sharing a last name. and i find it interesting that brom was able to escape after his alleged encounter with the horseman, maybe he got lucky, or maybe it was an act of mercy on the horseman's part, and the fact that the horseman and brom look similar, but that could be a coincidence, but probably not considering they are likely related. but that's just a theory.
Are these findings from your research included in Washington Irving's story from 1820? Been a while since I read the tale but I do not recall Brom and the Horseman being kin. I don't even think the headless fellow has a _name_ in the book. Washington Irving implies in the story that Brom Bones might be the "Headless Horseman" (Brom was playing a Halloween prank on the slender schoolteacher) that Ichabod Crane meets on his way home from the party at the Van Tassel home. There was no horseman. Brom was conjuring up fiction simply to frighten Ichabod at the party.
@@eduardo_corrochio the reason I thought they were related is because in real life, the headless horseman was a German mercenary, by the name Abraham van brunt who died during the revolutionary war. (believed to be hit in the head by an artillery cannon) to be honest, I never read Washington's story, I simply gained my information directly from google. but of course, I could still be wrong.
If the folks back in those times were spooked to death about the tale of the Headless Horseman, just imagine if they were told the brief stories of Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Phantom of the Opera; and possibly even Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Leatherface, etc. 💀🔪
Hell, just think back to THIS movie's day & age when Universal was dominating the horror genre. Compare their works to the chase scene in THIS movie. The atmosphere, the abstract colors, the impossible camerawork... Disney could've made some legitimately terrifying horror films if they wanted to.
@Bobsheaux Exactly! And this movie is all the more proof as to why Disney should, and should have, venture(d) more into the horror genre by making adaptations of Gothic horror stories like the ones I listed above.
He ripped it from the movie soundtrack. Disney Company has NEVER made this version of the song available on records. The track releases on record were sung by other singers (Kaye Ballard, Thurl Ravenscroft).
I have to correct myself. They DID release another version of the song sung by Bing Crosby on LP but it was NOT the original movie version. He recorded another take. I prefer the version from the movie. I think this track was excerpted from the movie. It's been out for decades on VHS, laserdisc, DVD, and, for the last few years, Blu ray. There IS an official Disney records (late 1950s, early 1960? I don't know when it was released!) version of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" but it is NOT the original film soundtrack. The narration by Bing Crosby is also different on that record. I haven't listened to all of it but that record has been written up by more hardcore Disney fans than me. Disney did this a few times with other movies. I don't know why they released these alternate versions on record but they did. I've got the Kaye Ballard (correction: Kay Starr!) version of "The Headless Horseman" song on a Halloween song CD. It's nice but I prefer Bing's version from the 1949 movie.
Buy the DVD or Blu ray of the movie. That is the only way you can legally own this music on physical media -- unless you buy the earlier VHS or laserdisc releases. They NEVER released any of the music from the finish 1949 movie, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. All that's available on record or CD are re-recordings. None of those are as good as the recordings produced for the 1949 movie, IMHO.
Not this version. This is rip from one of the home video release of the Ichabod and Mr. Toad feature film. Bing re-recorded it and I think his record label released it. They did a Disney Records with new narration and re-recordings of the songs. It's just over 13 minutes long. You can find it online but I can't link to it because it goes off UA-cam's website! YT doesn't allow off-site links. I don't think the record version is as good as the finished version in the 1949 Ichabod and Mr. Toad film. The record was originally released in 1949 and got re-released in the 1960s and 1970s so it's not impossible to find. It's been posted online.
I'm literally obsessed with this song. It got me through my first semester at college and I can't even tell you why. It's just so catchy.
i love that omg i feel u
Yeah I agree. I’ll be honest I had never seen this movie before today and I watched it and while I enjoyed both segments I was surprised by how much I liked the Sleepy Hallow segment. Both this song and the Katrina songs are both underrated.
Best Disney song. At least my personal favorite. Shame so many people haven't seen this film and don't know this song.

Great movie, love the blood color, very classic in the genre. That and Christopher Walken’s funny screaming and sharp teeth.
@@psychomammoth9640 you know who else Mr. Walkin played❓
There are actually 2 different stories about how the horseman lost his head. The first is that he had his head cut off by an enemy soldier.
The 2nd and the one I find most interesting is that he had his head blown off by a cannonball shot at him.
His compatriots didn’t even come for money, they were forced to by their liege lord who was the one to actually pocket the British gold.
The chase is one of the great Disney animated sequences.
This might be my favorite villain song. I always like to sing along with Brom’s lines.
Funny that you mentioned it he’s technically not really the villain. The real villain is Ichabod crane!
(Speech in rhyme)
Brom: Just gather ’round
and I’ll elucidate
on what goes on outside when it gets late.
’Long about midnight,
The ghosts and banshees,
They get together for their nightly jamboree.
There’s things with horns and saucer eyes
some with fangs about this size.
(Speech)
Woman #1: Some are fat.
Woman #2: And some are thin.
Creepy Man: And some don’t even wear their skin!
(Speech in rhyme)
Brom: Oh, I’m telling you, brother,
it’s a frightful sight
to see what goes on Halloween night.
Oh, when the spooks have a midnight jamboree,
they break it up with fiendish glee.
Ghosts are bad,
but the one that’s cursed
is the Headless Horseman,
he’s the worst.
Chorus: That’s right,
he’s a fright on Halloween night.
Brom: When he goes a-joggin’
’cross the land,
holdin’ his noggin
in his hand,
demons take one look and groan,
and hit the road for parts unknown.
Chorus: Beware, take care, he rides alone.
Brom: And there’s no spook like the spook that’s spurned.

I met that spook just a year ago.
Now, I didn’t stop for a second look,
but made for the bridge that spans the brook.
For once you cross that bridge, my friends,
Chorus: The ghost is through, his power ends.
Brom: So, when you’re riding home tonight,
make for the bridge with all your might.
He’ll be down in the Hollow there.
He needs your head.
Look out! Beware!

It’s not Halloween if you don’t hear this song or see this short.
My whole family would come together every Halloween after trick or treating and watch this movie, I miss those moments so much.
THIS SONG SLAPS SO HARD
It’s that time of year again!
Yep!
Oh yeah
Instead of the headless horseman this year it’s the maskless horseman.
@@robertthikkurissy679 .......... BORING!!!! How can he be a Maskless Horseman, if he doesn't have a Head?!
@@vortexsblazingtime6538 because everyone is supposed to be wearing a mask and a guy goes around on a horse not wearing a mask. The maskless horseman
Scooby Doo would freak out.
How much more Halloween can you get with this song?! 🎃🎃

I'm in love with the voice.
