You can really feel Mona's love for each of her girls in this number... She doesn't want them to worry about her and she can't do anything for them now and may never know what becomes of them.
My mom just passed away a few hours ago. This was one of her favorite movies and Dolly was a huge inspiration to her. I miss you, mama. You will live on forever within my heart. I'm barely getting through tomorrow but still I won't let sorrow bring me way down.
I wouldn't want to be in the ladies position. Having a great job and boss and basically having it riped right out from underneath you. Plus losing friends and colleagues you've been around for years.
The girls were loyal to Ms. Mona, and she looked out for them. To have Ms. Mona give each of her girls a present as a special thank you was very moving.
I’m currently in a similar situation. My employer had to suddenly close and now dozens of us have to move on. Been there almost 10 years. This song keeps playing over and over in my mind. But it’s helping my stay strong and not let sorrow get me down!
I'm not ashamed to say I'm a 51 year old male who is secure in his manhood but when that lady sings about finding someone and making their mind that makes make me cry maybe because it make me think of my girlfriend who died about 12 years ago
just because you a man doesn't mean you should be ashamed to cry NEVER bottle up or stop emotions its what makes us human your gender doesn't define that no matter what society says just do what makes you happy and don't let anyone or anything hold you back!
My fiance loved this movie and he'd sing it this song every time we watched it. Unfortunately I lost him back in October, to congestive heart failure, a week before Halloween when he was going to have someone marry us. And as a tribute to him im gonna get a cherry red lifesaver candy with hard candy christmas around it.
she knew she probably would never see these girls again and wanted them to know she loves each and every one of them and she’ll always be in each of their hearts no matter where they go or end up so sad but beautiful🥺❤️
I was imagining that they may have filmed it last at this location, so the girls would feel it more that the shoot was over and they'd be going their separate ways.
Dolly Parton is sooooo over the top talented. When she sings the chorus I feel punched in the chest. The most beautiful country voice I have heard. The improv on the melody is gorgeous.
On screen, this sequence looks fairly straightforward, but I can't help thinking of the hard work that went into it. The result is a rather well-crafted creation. The whole film is also what movies are about.....Entertainment.
@@normmacdonald4802 They sang pretty good, considering they were cast (most likely) for their dancing abilities. The part that bugs me about this film is how most of the girls' dialogue throughout was chopped out in favor of scenes with Burt & Dolly. I wish they'd make a movie that is closer to the play.
Well fur is not allowed. The rest is slowly coming back. Expect of you live outside of America and in the lower part of the world cowboy boots aren’t worn
My childhood.... I miss the '80's . 💖😢 Me and my mama loved watching this classic. Thank goodness for VCR tapes back in the day. This one, 9 to 5, little darlings, were some of my favorites.
Cyndi lauper redid this song on her album detour several years ago. I played it for my boyfriend who was too young to remember the best little whorehouse in Texas. As the song was playing I have tears streaming down my face as I'm trying to drive my car. I don't know Why it makes me cry so hard but it just gets to me.
MY GRANDMOTHER had this on VHS and I remember me and my sisters and cousins tearing this song up when we were younger we used to have sing offs lol 😆. One of my favorite musicals of all time!
This song has had me in tears since I first heard it as a kid. My mum considered this suitable for me to watch when I was 9 to 10 ( I was so tempted to go with 9 to 5 but some may miss the joke). I just didn't understand why they had to close if they were all there willingly to work. The fact it was a brothel was irrelevant to me.
OMG I knew all the lyrics to all the songs by the time I was 6, on car rides we would listen to the soundtrack. I bought it in HS and listened to the words again and called my Mom like "WTF were you thinking letting me sing all that!" LOL
I assume you are aware that this was based on a real political event? It happened between the years of 1972 and 1973 just outside of La Grange, Texas. Had to do with public political reputations and a tough-on-crime attitude, even though as far as brothels go, at least as far as was documented, the Chicken Ranch was one of the most wholesome brothels in US history.
That one particular first “ me I’ll bounce right back “ and “me I will go oooonnnn” is soooo sincere like she has no plan or idea where to begin to pick her life up and start a new and the other girl has a plan but didn’t expect the place to be shut down but knows she has some place she is going it’s such a heartstring song
2020 is definitely a hard candy Christmas, but I pray that in 2021 we'll all be just fine and dandy. We're all barely getting through tomorrow but don't let sorrow bring you way down cuz we'll all be fine and we'll go on.
People in March 2020 didn't want to hear that we would be dealing with it for 3 years, and March 2023 is fast approaching. We have the miracle of vaccines, but unlike attacking new-fangled light bulbs, attacking vaccines caught on, making it so much worse with over 1 million Americans dead who needn't have.
All I can say much as I love Dolly parton (an amazing example of generosity kindness and class that has set her apart from celebrities the world over by simple virtue of the fact that she practices what she preaches and she's preaching love and kindness bless her heart) I am forever grateful that she didn't sign up for the second one a horrible eyesore that should never have seen the light of day....EVER!!!. So thank you Dolly .
@@TheOddSusiePlays it was never made ( !!! THANK ALL THE GODS!!! ) it was titled the best little whorehouse goes public it had a stint on Broadway where it ran for 16 performances and the plot was Hoping to recover $26 million in back taxes owed them by Las Vegas whorehouse Stallion Fields, the IRS lures former brothel madam Mona Stangley out of retirement to run the operation. Complications arise when billionaire Sam Dallas arranges the sale of shares in the enterprise on the stock exchange and right-wing politician Senator A. Harry Hardast objects to his plan. The Vegas locale allows for an ongoing parade of barely dressed showgirls in glitzy Bob Mackie costumes, Sonny and Cher, Elvis Presley, Liberace, and Siegfried and Roy impersonators, and a two-bit stand-up comic acting as emcee against a background of flashing neon lights and accompanied by the sound of ever-jangling slot machines. and yes this plot info is right off Wikipedia ( so thanks a bunch wiki your a peach )
@@onichan7826 Huh wow, thanks for all this neat extra info :) I love Dolly Parton (but only got like proper into her stuff like 2 years ago) so recently I made it my mission to find and watch every movie she's been in and I loved this one, so I love to hear any extra tidbits like this! It certainly sounds like it would be a mess of a sequel haha
@@TheOddSusiePlays Check out all of her early stuff. I can't speak to much after 1990 or so. Just can't find any halfway decent country stations anymore. Modern country is just garbage.
Reality be damned I feel like we can have at least SOME hope for the girls. They will always be Miss Mona's girls and like Miss Mona's rules say: "No one messes with my girls." It doesn't make this scene any less emotional, but that's how I choose to feel about it.
The house that this movie was filmed in my great aunt owns it. She bought it from the original owner. It was also filmed on the town square in Hallettsville, Texas and I live there in that town most of my life@
The worst part is that all these women had a good boss who looked out for them and genuinely cared about their welfare. What's going to happen to them now?
@@DATDUDE2024 No they mean in the context of the movie. Mona cared for these women. They now head out to unknown futures. Possibly never to see each other again.
At 22, I spent 9 months deployed in the Persian Gulf, my long time boyfriend decided to stop talking to me shortly before Christmas and broke my heart for the first time. At 24, I had just left my abusive boyfriend right before Christmas, after he started threatening to hit me and cheated on me with his ex. I spent the holidays by myself that year too. The lyrics perfectly capture what was going through my mind those years, if I'd ever have someone who loved me to spend the holidays with again (my family is all deceased/estranged). Now at 28 I have a supportive husband who loves me and I finally feel like we have our own little family, but I will always remember those hard candy Christmases and appreciate what I have now. It's crazy how people we've never met seem to know our story. I love Dolly so much!
Apart from the wonderful 'I Will Always Love You', this is mine also. Every now and then I revisit it online because of its beautiful melody and harmonies.
I just found this movie on DVD. on Sunday at Wal-Mart for $5. So of course I had to buy it!☺ since I no longer have A VCR and I just watched it yesterday.☺
I can't get enough of Dolly Parton. Yeah she got a great voice it's every note she sings perfect She's the best singer in the world 🌏. And I remember this movie yeah I was watching it when it first came out and think I watched it more than once hey I give it five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌏🎸🎤💋💋💕💕🙏🤠🥰
Probably one of the best written songs where the melody rises and falls perfectly inline with the storyline, mood and lyrics of the song. Perfect balance between bitter sweet, attempted cheerfulness and melancholy sadness.
This is like the best movie in the world. You never see it on TV in the song that Whitney Houston me to hit Dolly Parton wrote if she sings the end of the movie it makes me cry all the time.
There.'s something about this song that makes me feel so emotional . I think memories of watching the film with my family come flooding back. Dolly Parton writes and sings from the heart and she is simply brilliant.
I really love dolly a.This really brings me sad memories for my mother she has been gone since 2005 and believes me when I say I miss her every day. But at Christmas is the hardest for me ...
This is one of so very many Dolly Parton songs. I also loved this movie and the beautiful harmonic voices blending together to make this song be a complete and absolutely phenomenol song to sing along with. I repeat it a few times and sing with it because it is such a beautiful song. Thank you Dolly Parton for this music.
I just love that movie and that song she and them all of girls was singing hard Christmas candy I cry every time I hear that song it's just a beautiful song love Dolly parton
I worked on this house in pflugerville a few years back. it was remodeled by some good craftsmen. releveled ,new wiring,plumbing floors refinished interior finishing and exterior paint. and a new septic.
Dolly is truly the queen of country music!! Ive loved her every since I was a little kid. I wanted to be her someday, but unfortunately I never made it
I never saw this movie, but I love this song. I think I'll watch it. Did you notice, that even surrounded by beautiful and talented women, there's just something about Dolly that sets her apart. Not sure what it is, maybe just her homespun wholesomeness. It's a hard candy christmas here, but maybe the memories will help. I wish you all peaceful wishes for comfort, love and joy at this time and all year long.
Oh Dolly without your music I could never emote what I truly feel. You have such a gift. I saw you in 2016 and it might have been the best day of my life. My son saw you through the womb. I played all your music when pregnant, now he loves you too😍
Lyrics: Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair Maybe I'll move somewhere Maybe I'll get a car Maybe I'll drive so far they'll all lose track Me, I'll bounce right back Maybe I'll sleep real late Maybe I'll lose some weight Maybe I'll clear my junk Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine Me, I'll be just Fine and dandy Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas I'm barely getting through tomorrow But still I won't let Sorrow bring me way down. I'll be fine and dandy Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas I'm barely getting through tomorrow But still I won't let Sorrow bring me way down. Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew Hey, maybe I'll just lie low Maybe I'll hit the bars Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn Me, I will go on Maybe I'll settle down Maybe I'll just leave town Maybe I'll have some fun Maybe I'll meet someone and make him mine Me, I'll be just Fine and dandy Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas I'm barely getting through tomorrow But still I won't let Sorrow bring me way down. - I'll be fine and dandy - Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas I'm barely getting through tomorrow But still I won't let Sorrow bring me way down. ~ I'll be fine and dandy ~ Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas I'm barely getting through tomorrow But still I won't let Sorrow bring me way down. *last goodbyes* I'll be fine ~ I'll be fine ~ ~ I'll be fine.
I watched this on HBO as a 12 year old staying up late so everyone was asleep to watch a movie with such a title. I remember how sad this scene was. Underrated film, and the cast was perfect!! That was around 1983-84. Great times!
Even though I don't agree with the trade they were in, having to pick up and start over again is never easy, no matter what kind of a life you lived. A rather pleasant sounding song, even if it is sad.
The Chicken Ranch is alive and well. And I'm glad of that fact. The knowledge of that has gotten me thru more hard candy times than it, perhaps, should.
HappyandAtheist it’s not always that simple. As a former Deputy Probation Officer I have seen women trafficked, selling their bodies to support drug habits and end up diseased and ill, pimps taking advantage of these women in cruel ways. In a legal setting such as a business is obviously much better but many see no other way and resort to this. It would appear they are willing but they are desperate, it steals their souls.....high rates of substance abuse, depression and suicide go hand in hand with this profession. Until you work with these people it’s hard to understand what goes on behind the scenes, truly sad in many cases.
This film got see in my high school days because was 18 years old back then 1982. Awesome film movie. My favorite song. From Dolly Parton. Since was childhood days. Lots great memories lane though yrs. Thank You back then she own Tv show Dollywood show No cable or internet back 1970s real tv box
Dolly has such great control of her voice. She hits every note perfectly
And no other singer sounds like her. 🥰😻😻. Ive loved her voice forever.
Agreed
Ikr
Matt Beeman, even when she’s live she still sounds the same.
Yep, she has an amazing vibrato, but it's not an inability to stick a note, it's just the best choice!
You can really feel Mona's love for each of her girls in this number... She doesn't want them to worry about her and she can't do anything for them now and may never know what becomes of them.
So sad. But one of my favorite movies.
Great song great movie
My mom just passed away a few hours ago. This was one of her favorite movies and Dolly was a huge inspiration to her. I miss you, mama. You will live on forever within my heart. I'm barely getting through tomorrow but still I won't let sorrow bring me way down.
Sorry for your loss man
Hang in there friend
I'm so sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss🙏
I am so sorry for your loss 💐
Dolly Parton is unbelievable. She's the best I've ever seen. I've never seen someone with her combination of talent, charm, humility, and charisma.
FR shes my fave singer my mom raised me well
❤
An angel 😇🌟
I wouldn't want to be in the ladies position. Having a great job and boss and basically having it riped right out from underneath you. Plus losing friends and colleagues you've been around for years.
The girls were loyal to Ms. Mona, and she looked out for them. To have Ms. Mona give each of her girls a present as a special thank you was very moving.
a great job lol. you know you could do it too right?

I'm not ashamed to say I'm a 51 year old male who is secure in his manhood but when that lady sings about finding someone and making their mind that makes make me cry maybe because it make me think of my girlfriend who died about 12 years ago
Someone will come along when you least expect. Just focus on being the best, healthiest you that you can be 😃

when the girl with the yellow jacket kicked in the rythm of the song
I FELT THAT
She's a total babe too.
Does anyone know who she was?....she was a total babe 💯🔥
Do you mean the one who said "maybe ill hit the bars?"
When Dolly hits the chorus, my heart just melts, this woman is in a class by herself 👍🏼
she knew she probably would never see these girls again and wanted them to know she loves each and every one of them and she’ll always be in each of their hearts no matter where they go or end up so sad but beautiful🥺❤️
I never noticed this before, but Dolly Parton had real tears in her eyes.
I was imagining that they may have filmed it last at this location, so the girls would feel it more that the shoot was over and they'd be going their separate ways.
Remember, Dolly Parton grew up dirt poor living in a tiny ramshackle house. I'm sure this scene hit really close to home for her. 😢
Of course she did. She’s got the biggest heart in the hills! A genuinely good person.
Dolly has a beautiful voice
Dolly Parton is sooooo over the top talented. When she sings the chorus I feel punched in the chest. The most beautiful country voice I have heard. The improv on the melody is gorgeous.

Agreed. It sounds great with all of the girls singing parts of the song. Jim Nabors has a few great lines in the movie as well.
No one's dancing, but the entire video is *carefully* choreographed. Those 4 minutes probably took at least half a shooting day.
Well said.
fabulous art - i suspect musicals are the hardest to pull together , not being in the business. This is one of my favorite movies
@@normmacdonald4802 They sang pretty good, considering they were cast (most likely) for their dancing abilities. The part that bugs me about this film is how most of the girls' dialogue throughout was chopped out in favor of scenes with Burt & Dolly. I wish they'd make a movie that is closer to the play.
0:53 - When Dolly's voice comes in... it's like a lightning bolt of pure goodness mainlined directly into your soul :)
Dolly is THAT girl. No scratch that...THEE girl. I love Dolly in any capacity ❤
You had to tell us that? It's only 4 minutes long. Wouldn't people want to watch all of it?
Very underrated film. Love you Dolly.
I've never seen this movie but now I want to soo badly. This song in it's context to movie breaks my heart.
Truly an underrated classic and one of the last musicals to do well on the big screen.
Its insanely good. One of my top movies of all time
You should hear "I will always love you" in the movie. Real heart jerker
It's one of my favorite movies! Great. You definitely should watch this classic.
Omg you have to. It's a masterpiece
When the girls join in harmony, that second chord hits straight to the heart. I loved this song before I ever saw the film.
I adore this song. It's so beautiful and I get goosebumps every time Dolly sings her first line.
Me too
The outfits are so 2019... It has come back around
Are you joking? I've been living in a cave..
Living in NYC yes it’s all around definitely has made a comeback
Everyone in Williamsburg Brooklyn looks like that.

She said she wouldn't do this movie in any form after bert died, said it wouldn't feel the same.
this scene always made me cry
This is way more than just another Christmas Song. It is a masterpiece
This was such a sad part in the movie. Miss Mona stayed strong for her girls.
I really love dolly a.This really brings me sad memories for my mother she has been gone since 2005 and believes me when I say I miss her every day. But at Christmas is the hardest for me ...
Ugh! Such a great vocalist. The vibrato! The control.
This scene makes me cry every time
Whenever I see or hear Dolly Parton it's like a cleansing rain going through my soul.
This is one of so very many Dolly Parton songs. I also loved this movie and the beautiful harmonic voices blending together to make this song be a complete and absolutely phenomenol song to sing along with. I repeat it a few times and sing with it because it is such a beautiful song. Thank you Dolly Parton for this music.
My favorite Christmas song, I love this song so much
I just love that movie and that song she and them all of girls was singing hard Christmas candy I cry every time I hear that song it's just a beautiful song love Dolly parton
This song gives me the chills and nostalgia big time!!!
Instantly fell in
Hello Katherine
I worked on this house in pflugerville a few years back. it was remodeled by some good craftsmen. releveled ,new wiring,plumbing floors refinished interior finishing and exterior paint. and a new septic.
I remember watching this as a kid in the 80's on Movie Channel...oh how I miss those days 😕
Yep. Got that right. Merry Christmas
@Major woody lol
They’ll never come back
Dolly is truly the queen of country music!! Ive loved her every since I was a little kid. I wanted to be her someday, but unfortunately I never made it
I never saw this movie, but I love this song. I think I'll watch it. Did you notice, that even surrounded by beautiful and talented women, there's just something about Dolly that sets her apart. Not sure what it is, maybe just her homespun wholesomeness. It's a hard candy christmas here, but maybe the memories will help. I wish you all peaceful wishes for comfort, love and joy at this time and all year long.
About 10yrs ago we had layoffs at my job and I was spared... i hummed the chorus of the song the entire remainder of the day😢
I love you Dolly Parton 💪👍💯💥🔥🤩🥰😍🎉❤️
Oh Dolly without your music I could never emote what I truly feel. You have such a gift. I saw you in 2016 and it might have been the best day of my life. My son saw you through the womb. I played all your music when pregnant, now he loves you too😍

Lyrics:
Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far they'll all lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down.
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down.
Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Hey, maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone and make him mine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down.
- I'll be fine and dandy -
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down.
~ I'll be fine and dandy ~
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down.
*last goodbyes*
I'll be fine
~ I'll be fine
~ ~ I'll be fine.
of all the christmas songs out there this is the one that symbolises christmas for me.
Dolly is like an Angel. How can you not love her?
I watched this on HBO as a 12 year old staying up late so everyone was asleep to watch a movie with such a title. I remember how sad this scene was. Underrated film, and the cast was perfect!! That was around 1983-84. Great times!
Greatest experience was watching Dolly perform at Cheyenne Frontier Days where I worked as a volunteer for the night shows for 15 years.
Oh how I love this song and the movie. Thanks for posting it. I love it anytime.
Dolly is amazing!!!! Brilliant talent!!!
Even though I don't agree with the trade they were in, having to pick up and start over again is never easy, no matter what kind of a life you lived. A rather pleasant sounding song, even if it is sad.
hey, we all got a living to make. And at least it was in a house with some protection than on a street corner somewhere.
Very true. Much better in a place like this.
The Chicken Ranch is alive and well. And I'm glad of that fact. The knowledge of that has gotten me thru more hard candy times than it, perhaps, should.
HappyandAtheist it’s not always that simple. As a former Deputy Probation Officer I have seen women trafficked, selling their bodies to support drug habits and end up diseased and ill, pimps taking advantage of these women in cruel ways. In a legal setting such as a business is obviously much better but many see no other way and resort to this. It would appear they are willing but they are desperate, it steals their souls.....high rates of substance abuse, depression and suicide go hand in hand with this profession. Until you work with these people it’s hard to understand what goes on behind the scenes, truly sad in many cases.
How have I never heard about this movie?? Dolly parton and Burt Reynolds! ❤
The most overwhelming bunch of sisters saying goodbye.... all tears
I'm here in a puddle of tears💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭 I hates seeing everyone leave....good luck ladies and stay beautiful always
Some people can’t sing alone but can sing 🎤 with others when their harmonizing
Love Dolly. This is my favourite Christmas song (and it isn't even about Christmas)
