- Song is Blues in Hoss' Flat by the Count Basie Orchestra. This is the same version as the movie, except in STEREO-some remixing for instrument clarity and separation. It is from the 1958 "Chairman of The Board" album, and "The Errand Boy" is from 1961.
Eddie Jones - Bass
Freddie Green - Guitar
Sonny Payne - Drums
Count Basie - Piano
Joe Newman on the trumpet solo at the end.
Brilliant! Jerry Lewis wrote and Directed this film. He was a swing lover and counted Bill Basie and Buddy Rich as friends. So for him to ask Bill to use this and pantomime the skit was a no brainer.
Jerry loved music. He used it well in his films.
Jerry Lewis is masterful in this scene but lets not for get the music.Count Basie was one of the best band leaders/composers ever. This song is incredible.
Basie was indeed one of the best bandleaders ever, but he did not write or arranged that song. Frank Foster did.
The Basie tune Lewis pantomimed for "Cinderfella" was great, too, but that movie sucked except for the scenes with Basie's music.
Buddy Rich used to say when he played with Basie and his band (only in short engagements) ,"It was like eating a great meal."
Yes 👍🏼
Tune is called "Blues in Hoss Flat."
What a great classic!
JERRY LEWIS - COUNT BASIE-BOSS PANTOMIME
Une telle performance visuelle exige une oreille musicale et plus encore.
Jerry lewis inconditionnel fan du grand stan laurel du célèbre duo laurel et hardy . Il dira je les est vu quand. J étai enfant et je les aimés toutes ma vie.
Genial!
he surely also inspired german comedian Otto Waalkes
This is crazy. The music seems to come straight out of his mouth. He was a genius !!

@jerrylewisthekid5479: Jerry Lewis had perfect timing. I mean PERFECT. There is a dance scene he did with Sheree North. I can’t remember what movie it is from but it is here on UA-cam. If you watch his feet - he doesn’t miss a beat. His timing is, once again, PERFECT !
oh please -
The Movie is "Living It Up" with Dean Martin and Janet Leigh. Janet Leigh married Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis was the Best Man. After she divorced Tony Curtis Dean Martin introduced her to her Stock Broker husband and Dean Martin was the best man at that wedding. She was married for 42 years to that man before she died at 77 years old. What a coincidental story.
Either you're all a bunch or trolls or you truly do not have the ability to see beauty and talent in simplicity. He was probably the first person on film to do what he did in this scene. I can easily picture myself seeing this for the first time and smiling then as I did now.
I've watched this over and over and I don't think I'll ever get enough. His talent just amazes me. And it doesn't hurt at all that he's absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous and I really don't think he ever saw it.
We watched this in our jazz band this morning :) this is the most fantastic thing i've ever seen. and the Count Basie band... my God, they can swing hard.
Alex Skye ...Yes, they could!!! The Count Basie Orchestra WAS SWING!!!
This never fails to make me smile!
Ha ha :-)
Jerry Lewis is the king of comedy. He inspired Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, and millions of other comedians in the business today. If you are a parent, introduce your kids to Jerry Lewis' movies. They NEVER get old.
Thank you!! I never knew that.
the sad part about Jerry Lewis and what gets lost in the translation is the fact that he is a brilliant guy and was a major talent. Had he not been such a prima donna and an egomaniac (and had he not treated most everyone around him like shit) throughout his career perhaps he would be viewed in a different light.
Damned right. Jim Carey was this generation's Lewis. That's not a compliment. The best thing Jerry ever did, aside from the money for the kids, was highlighting Basie. Then ruining it by DIRECTING Basie and his band with his studio band during a telethon in the 1970s. HIS studio band looked horrified.
Ace.....right on!! I introduced all 4 of my kids to Jerry's movies as they were growing up and they loved him. They STILL mimic some of his routines and behavior to this day when they get together (and it drives their mother NUTS)! ;-)
I think it helped lengthen Basie's career and popularlity, too.
Ok, just exactly what is Jerry saying in the chorus?
"And you and you and me we have to . . ."
I love Jerry, not least for introducing me to Count Basie at a tender age!
I was trying to figure out the same thing.
it just goes to show folks don’t understand certain comedy..jerry lewis was one of the best at this type of comedy ..he’s having an imaginary conference in a boardroom with the guys at the top telling em out it would be if he was their boss and miming some actual words he would be saying to them .. and all to the backing of the amazing count basie’s jazz orchestra.. fantastic ..
- and he probably did it all in one take.
INTENSE.....How many times did you watch/listen to this over n over?!
i am just now lying down and watching this now. It has been a long time. I like knowing that you 'liked' this! Gracias****
THIS must be among my top favorites*
Thank you for REMINDING me!!
Thanks Meccarose*-Peace-jeff

Love it! I had a silly grin on my face the whole time I was watching it.
I came here because I saw and enjoyed the Peter Griffin (Family Guy) version and I wanted to see what the original version was like. My verdict: it's even better!
humanity needs more people like Jerry Lewis
word
Say wants you want about him off camera. It gets no better than this. As with all artists who are such a cut above the norm, when they produce, it's unequalled. Here's a prime example of his genius. He was famous by his 20th birthday. Instead of criticism, enjoy the gift of laughter he brings us. One of the last great living legends.
@pushon2342: Everybody has their issues. He was my childhood idol and a genius. I’ll love him until the day I die. and beyond that if possible. : )
Awww me too. I loved Jerry so much. My hero.
i am ashamed to admit i didn't really know the comic geniality of jerry lewis until now
Lee Evan's was clearly influenced. by Jerry Lewis
Basie and Lewis = CLASSIC STUFF...BEYOND GENIUS! Case Closed
Jerry Lewis was....just special! Simple.
Agreed! Anyone who doesn't recognize this for what it is, which is pure genius is just not paying attention.
word
Not at all a fan of jerry lewis but this is BRILLIANT. Pity the guy wasn't born in the era of slient movies. He could have given buster keaton a run.
They were about as different as can be. Lewis was the master of mugging, and Keaton was the Great Stone Face and never moved his face at all.
I wonder how many people on set, including the band, were fed the H up with Lewis by the time it was over.
Count Basie he would leave alone, anyone important had protection from Lewis, but he was a really nasty piece of work, and most people who worked with him hated him.
A genius is gone to pose an additional star in our sky
For more than 50 years, I wanted to know the title of this song. Thank you.
Blues in Hoss’ Flat
@@liamosburn9824 She spent time to read my description, so she knew that already.
@@mutleybird funny when people don’t get the joke
Okay, i've never a 'Jerry Lewis comedy fanatic'; but THIS...is uniquely fabulous!*
I love the musical interlude from 00:00 to about 00:21. Magnificent.
Twas the most unique part of it. Was perfect for this scene and can't be found on any other recorded version.
Same here. I love it !
Song is Blues in Hoss Flat by the Count Basie Orchestra.
Such a perfectionist. People found him difficult to work with because of this, but ohhhh what a final product.
This country has lost a comedian who is not replaceable. The most influential comedian who has ever lived. Accept it. THANK YOU Jerry for all the years of laughs and happiness.
Mantle4ever, very well said!!!! I agree 100% with you
Be of fine cheer, I replaced and superceded. Signed, Movie!
Yes !
Rest in Peace, Jerry Lewis (1926 - 2017) Your comic genius will be missed...
All the comments here were written before he died. 20th of Aug. last year. All these comments prior to mine were made while he was still alive. I write this comment in reverence of his memory and all the laughs he gave us: even though Jerry was long before my time. Thanks for the laughs Jerry. I think I saw this on a Saturday afternoon tv matinee when I was very young. He definitely had a knack for amusing most of us.
He was simply the best whether you loved him or hated him and I loved him. Nobody before him had the talent he had and nobody since him could ever hope to compete.
Nicely synchronised. It's a shame that (except for a few blockbusters) Hollywood lost interest in releasing films with stereophonic soundtracks between 1960 and 1977.
Guys, what do you expect, this is Jerry Lewis afterall, so of course it is hilarious to see him act without saying any word and instead he follows the instruments that are played, making this one of his best and most funniest scenes of all time.
He was a Genius..
Remember my Mother in law and me...once saw the movie The Nutty Professor on TV in her House at the countryside. Many years ago..
We laught almost the whole time.
Often so loud that the Second teeth of my Mother in law fell out of her mouth...What a crazy funny time....
Torill: That’s hilarious 😂
This is such a great clip to show the musicality of humor is as important as the musicality of rhythm and music! Jerry Lewis had great musicality and rhytm and therefore his comic brilliance was even more brilliant!
No one can do what JL did.
Where did he get all these great ideas natural i guess 😀😀😀
Rest in peace Jerry. You will be missed. Don't stop making them smile with Dino!
Nobody but Count Basie could have been the background music for this. One thing for sure -- Jerry Lewis had good taste and wanted nothing but the best.
The greatest comedian that ever lived.
very clever comic! brilliant guy and actor.
Muito 🤩 legal gratidão 😅 Jerry Lewis 😅 grande 💞 comédia 😮😅😅
Someone I have ALWAYS wanted to meet.
@dubdaze68 - As mentioned in the video description above, this version as used in the movie is from the Count Basie "Chaiman Of The Board" album. The recording session was done in 1958. This scene uses just the last half of the song. Searching google for "Count Basie" + "Chairman Of The Board" will give you many ways to buy or download this exact song in stereo (which was new in '58). I replace mono versions with stereo HQ versions of various artists in a few of the videos on this channel.
why jerry lewis doesn't have a cable channel,is a mystery to me ,that was one funny m****r f*****r thank you TbirdsOf1965 and you tube
Lip-synching to an instrumental tune, more fun that you might think.
CB was a great musician. This piece is wonderful. Right up there with The Theme from Route 66 by Nelson Riddle, and Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini.
@TbirdsOf1965 Stereo recordings made before the commercial availability of stereo RECORDS are largely incredibly well recorded; engineers and A&R people really strove for the richness of dimensionality when these records were taped but then released on mono records.
When stereo records became a reality, the record buying public couldn't appreciate the subtly of the soundstage expansion; they wanted the dual-mono "ping-pong" sound of individual voices from each speaker only.
Check out this video "THE FAT VITO SHOW: The Chairman of the Board" of this "Fat Vito" performing this classic Jerry Lewis routine here on You Tube!!
Ele tá dublando a música 🎷 é proibido fumar 🚬 no futuro,pode tudo,menos fumar 🚬🚭 kkkkkkkkkkk😅😅😅😮😅😅😅😮😅😅😅😅😅
The Count Basie Orchestra is the real star here.
They also were in all the Frank Sinatra songs they propped up.
Brilliant timing, but that was Jerry Lewis...a comic genius.👍🐨🦘
His first billing in NY clubs was Jerry Lewis Sotto Voce
(quiet voice). He performed these types of skits on stage.
Jerry Lewis- Brilliant comic.
Can't get enough of this clip.
Jerry would have been a great
jazz musician if he would have
decided to go in that direction.
His rendition of We got a world
that swings in the movie, The
Nutty Professor, not an easy song.
He was such a multitalented artist! A genius!
If you have heard this piece by Count Basie -- or rather have seen this before -- you know what is coming at 1:04. 😂 Only like Jerry Lewis could.
What timing. Jerry started singing at age 6 with his parents in the Catskills, so that's where that rhythmic precision comes from.
HILARIOUS. NEVER GET TIRED OF SEEING THIS.
Family Guy brought me here ^^
@bachstradtrumpet Basie always won those "Battle Of The Bands" with Ellington, etc. He & his guys were always the best. They called that tempo "in the pocket". Recorded in NY. The acoustics of a big room, & everybody playing off each other lead to far greater recordings & quality compared to the overproduced recordings done today - many times with different parts being done at different times & places. There's a lot of late 50's early 60's stereo recordings that are amazing in pop, r&b & jazz.
PLEASE! Can someone sync the audio?! This performance is so amazing and I bet if synced correctly it'll be a 1000 timer more stunning!
I like it just the way it is.
Its something in his playback. The audio is synced.
Comedy at it's very best. I remember watching this when I was 8 years old. Great stuff!!!
Nice to see one of my Pops compositions getting Kudos:)
Comic genius at its best!
You got that right in every aspect of entertainment and there will never be another Jerry. Hope he is with us a lot longer. God Bless this man.
Absolutely love this. Comedy genius!
Pretty much every one of Lewis' films had one scene of genius in it, like this one, a flawless two minutes on screen. And then there was the rest of the movie. Sometimes good, like _The Nutty Professor_ in which he transforms back and forth from the ultimate Jerry Lewis nerd to a character akin to Dean Martin"s cool cat persona. Sometimes not so good. Martin and Lewis on the _Colgate Comedy Hour_ were stupendous. The combination could not be duplicated. Allen and Rossi tried, shortly after the Martin/Lewis break-up, but never quite made it. I don't think either of them pulled off the complexity and depth of character that both Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis achieved. It gave Martin and Lewis authenticity. They were, after all, actors, not just stand-up comics. (To Marty Allen's credit, he became a full-fledged actor on his own later in his 95-year life.)
Watch Pulp Fiction. I've always gotten the impression that John Travolta's character was based on Jerry's portrayal of Buddy Love. I've seen PF about 5 times and then watched TNP and thought that.
This is great, I'm sharing, thanks.
Excellent comedic bit here brilliantly performed by a true comedic genius named Jerry Lewis.
Ese es talento de comediante. Y en El profesor chiflado, actuaba y dirigía a la vez.
Jerry did this performance on the very first take!
Jerry Lewis is the man!!
I want to know what he’s saying. Any lip readers?
"Yes, Mr. Parimutual, that WAS a performance. And who are you? Just who ARE you? One of those 'I've been making pictures for 30 years' kind of guys? You know, you COULD have been making them WRONG......."
xlent........comic genius hate him or love him he was talented rip jerry xox
@detectosoretes - That's a result of UA-cam processing. Many times there's a slight unpredictable shift in audio to video positioning. Nothing I can do about it, and the original file is perfect.
Playing this in my jazz band at school. As the piano player in it all, I just love this song. Great tempo, great beat, & overall, a great song.
We play next week, along with "One O Clock Jump," "Malaguena," & "Perdido" alos great songs :)
Another great one of his is where is sitting at a desk using an imaginary typewriter with the music and sounds of a typewriter. Very clever indeed.
This is genius. But can anyone here read lips? Because I think part of the joke is that he's actually mouthing words that make sense, and go along with the themes displayed here. For example, he says "and you, and you, and you, and me," and at another point, he says "I know..." What else is he saying?
i know he said "and you and you and you and me" at one point
It was routines like this that help set him aside from everyone else. As a child I loved Jerry Lewis.
Totally loved/Jerry Lewis
A shame that the movie wasn't filmed with stereo sound
i do this all the time at school
The best Comic of all Times !
all this on one blunt
this is JIM CARREY time mashined!
Vielen Dank ! Ich liebe Bigband - hier ist es die legendäre Count Basie Band. Sicher gibt es andere, innovativere Bigbands, (z. B. Gil Evans) aber Basie bleibt für mich der Inbegriff des Swing,wie man auch hier in der gut bearbeiteten Stereoversion hört. .. ... und dann noch der geniale Jerry Lewis! So wie er hier agiert, zeigt er, dass er den "Swing" begriffen
hat. Hinreißend ! RIP, lieber Jerry !
Unbelievable that he did this in one take, first try.
I love at the end when he's about to keep going but the music stops and he looks almost embarrassed for a second
Jerry at his best.
one of my favourite Jerry Lewis gems but luckily one of so many and spot on synchronisation with big band as Jerry gives his audience a dressing down
Lovely edit - thanks!
Lindo 😅amo 💕 ele 😮😅😅😅😅
he was soooo cute.
I know, he was gorgeous! Beautiful eyes
The greatest thing Jerry ever did. Genius!
Love it Jerry is great and music is Awesome
@Milesco
Good for you! Dig who the current geniuses dig, and who THOSE geniuses dug: That's how we learn.
Then all the people who think the "best" rock and pop is from the mid 60's on, british invasion, etc. - wouldn't hate doo wop, 50's r&b so much, or think its just trite and cute..
I!Agree With You About This Video 📹 🤣 😂 😍 😳 ❤!Classic Jerry Lewis 👌 😀 😄 🙌 PHYSICALY!
This Count Basie classic BLUES IN HOSS' FLAT from the classic LP, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD (Roulette "Birdland Series" R/SR-52032, written by Count Basie and the late tenor sax genius, Frank Foster. Arrangement by the latter. I have this classic gem in both monaural and stereo, in mint condition!
Why is this not a meme
I'd want royalties...
did they did this in one take ?
I’ve watched this and all of Jerry Lewis’ movies over and over for decades. I’ve watched this and the typewriter scene so many times that I know his every move and facial expression before he does it.
Now that is time wasted.
He was INCREDIBLE!!!
