Written in 1971 by Norman Gimbel & Charles Fox for the Neil Simon comedy "Star Spangled Girl"-- but later became famous on the "Brady Bunch". The following year, Fox & Gimbel wrote their Grammy winning hit--"Killing Me Softly" which was made famous by Roberta Flack... and later again by The Fugees.
*Davy's voice is so beautiful*
I refuse to say "was".
Jane Calero I have a singing voice just like Davy Jones! I serenade all the young lovelies with my voice!
ok maybe but no comparison to David Jones
@@arjo7lzlzl75 Bullshit
Yes this news to me right this minute to find out that this song of "Girl" had really come from this film and before The Get Davy Jones episode of The Brady Bunch.
Rest with the angels Davy .. I'll always love and remember you. Manchester Cowboy💕 🐴
fun fact: The Brady Bunch episode with Davey Jones aired on 12/10/71. The movie Star Spangled Girl opened on 12/22/71. It was a cross promotion for the film by Paramount.
ABC Movie Of The Week was the show to watch back in the day. Same style font used on Movie Of The Week and The Mary Tyler Moore is called peignot pronounced pen yo.
Davy Jones was so cool and so is this song...Miss him!
I first noticed the difference when I saw him sing "Girl" in a live concert. The lyrics here are a little different, but, I love it any way Davey sings it!!! God rest his beautiful soul🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful song, and INCREDIBLE opening credits and graphics !
The font used in this film is peignot (pen-yoe). Same used on the ABC Movie Of The Week and the Mary Tyler Moore show.
@@frankdenardo8684 ABC Movie of the Week,, wow I forgot about that.. Right, i can picture there were multi color titles sliding towards the viewer?
The movie was unheard-of. We only know the song because Davy sung it on the Brady Bunch and Marcia was his number one fan.
I am old. I saw the movie on television 📺. Can't beat Neil Simon, Charles Fox, and Davy Jones combining movie, song, and performance blend so seamlessly.
You are just young. When I was about 14 it came on the late show. Good 🎬 movie.
Total guilty pleasure. I saw this film back when it first aired and loved it and the opening song. Ah heck not a guilty pleasure. Good is good!!
The font used is peignot, pronounced pen yo. The same font used on The ABC Movie Of Week and the Mary Tyler Moore Show. A very popular font was used during the 1970s. Also used on the 1974 ABC Movie Of The Week film Smile Jenny. Your Dead. A pilot film for the TV show Harry O with David Janssen.
This is better than the Brady Bunch version - slightly different and slightly better.
1st heard this song from a video of its record playing, then I saw that Jones sang this on The Brady Bunch.......I had absolutely no idea that he originally sang this for the film adaptation of a Neil Simon play!
Boldly designed title sequences like this used to look so good on the big screen; they made going to the movies a lot more magical.
The font is peignot. Same used on the Mary Tyler Moore show and ABC movie of the week.
Surfer Joe font used is peignot (pen yo). same used on the Mary Tyler Moore show and ABC Movie Of The Week.
Title sequences are awesome today as well...
das 1988 ever watched the ABC Movie Of The Week or the Mary Tyler Moore show? the font used for the title of this film and the above mentioned shows is peignot pronounced pen yo.
@@frankdenardo8684 Yeah I'm well aware of the font. I grew up in the 70's and early 80's. But I also embrace the good stuff today. I'm not blind to it.
I suppose what made me watch this movie was hearing the theme song Girl song by Davy Jones and also seeing Sandy Duncan. I also saw the movie The Star Spangled Girl!
One little thing I did notice about this video is they use the same lettering font in these openig credits as on the opening credits of TV's "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".
Thediscodude79 the ABC Movie Of The Week also used this style font. the font name is peignot pronounced pen yo.
Davy Jones did a Fine Job for singing a song just like this one called Girl which was so perfect for Sandy Duncan to come out and make a movie just like this one and of course lets not forget actor Tony Roberts remember him in Woody Allen Play it Again Sam
The more I here this the more I love it.
I miss you Mr Jones
Davy - Goodnight, sweet prince. I will always remember you.
I actual saw the movie on its original release; as I recall there wasn't much of an audience in the theater, but, its not as bad as the reviews make it out to be. As for the song,"Girl", I prefer the first version (this one, the film opening) vs the recorded version and the one Jones sang at various venues.
I like his version on The Brady Bunch the best!!
good movie with a good song
The font used in the film is peignot, pronounced pen yo. Same one used on ABC Movie Of The Week, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
I imagine more people know this song from THE BRADY BUNCH than from this movie. I didn't know about this movie until I read about the song.
Nice drone footage!!
The song is great, it was the only part of the movie that really was worth anything. I watched about 45 minutes of this movie, before I turned it off, I thought it was terrible. As I understand it, it wasn't exactly packing them into the theaters it played.
Tom Smith I remember the 1996 film "up close and personal". the only thing good about the film was the love theme "because you love me" done by singer Celine Dion.
I can't work out why this wasn't as big as Daydream Believer.
Lets' not ignore the star of film, Sandy Duncan, who was go on make "Trisket snack" commercials throughout the 70's. She was a refreshingly cheerful actress much like the soon to be mega-popular Mary Tyler Moore, and Karen Valentine from TV show 'Room-222' . During the 1990's/2000's actress Jennifer Love Hewit captured the same type of Refreshing cheerfulness.
I thought it was Wheat Thins she shilled for.
pem1974 I bought a lot of those for get togethers.
Great!!
Never knew of this movie until I read some trivia about the song's origin on another YT video.
The font used is peignot pronounced pen yo. The same font used on The ABC Movie of The Week and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
My (real) name is David "Davy" Jones. I played the male lead in Star Spangled Girl in an Abilene (Tx) Community Theater stage production way back in 1971. I was searching around trying to find the other two cast members, when I came across this vid. Hey Deborah or Billy, drop me a message!
Very good movie with Sandy Duncan Todd Susman and Tony Roberts.
Happy Belated Birthday Davy! We miss you. Was thinking about you yesterday, I hope you're having fun up there. You would not have liked the crazy times we are living in right now. But a new year of hope is coming. I know you would have approved of our new president and our first female vice president! I know Joe and Kamala would have loved you.I wish you were here to make usl laugh and smile again. I will listen to your music again, and always remember that magical night that we had together in 2005 in Wilmington, Delaware. You made me feel like Marcia Brady that night, and I will never forget it! Rest in peace, Davy. I love you.
1971 that was a great year. The world still seemed young! - LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL 🇺🇸🤠🥳🇺🇸🤠🥳🇺🇸🤠🥳🥳🤠🥳🇺🇸🤠🥳🇺🇸🤠🥳🇺🇸🤠🥳🇺🇸
Cool~ They are using a drone!!
@stropercire ..I totally agree with you...
and I agree with the both of you too
Sounds better (to me, anyway) at 1.25 X speed.
Tony Roberts, the very definition of milquetoast.
I half expect to see Marcia Brady ! I think Davy would pick her over Sandy Duncan!
I see Love American Style all over this! and I love it! The best years were the first 3 seasons(1969-1972)
***** My favorite show after Barretta!!
the Music was composed by Charles Fox who was writing the music for "Love American Style" at the same time that he wrote this with lyricist Norman Gimbel.
The Ron Hicklin Singers are hard to miss here- and they definitely tie it to LAS as well.
Actually was originally in 1966 Neil Simon Broadway play
Of course you would. Look at the credits. Arnold Margolin and Jim Parker wrote the teleplay. They were the executive producers on LAS for the first four years (although IMDb says they were only there for the first two), as well as writing and directing some segments. Likewise, director Jerry Paris did some LAS segments. I would guess Paramount, which was behind the series, gave it to Margolin and Parker as a reward for the show.
As for the movie itself, do yourself a favor and skip it. It's like the world's longest but worst segment of Love, American Style, or a below-average ABC Movie of the Week. Nonstop talking with nary a quiet moment. And unlike the show or even the credits in this video, it's not happy or joyous. It's all fights and spats - classic Neil Simon - just two guys arguing with each other or a girl against one guy then against the other guy, almost all shot on one small apartment set. Felt a LOT longer than the 1 1/2 hours it really is. This video is the best part of the movie, making it feel all bright and cheerful, which it most assuredly is not.
