- A pleasant Irish melody with beautiful words that speak of love's dedication. 'Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms' was written by the Irish poet, Thomas Moore, in 1808. The melody is believed to be composed by Sir John Andrew Stevenson.
No bombs under the keys this time! :D
Lol. I get it. No, no bombs, ya dumb bunny! :)
You don't know that
Believe-it-or-else: that gag first appeared in a Pvt. Snafu cartoon (1944)!
Hard to believe this song is over 200 years old. Even when WB used it, the song was well over 100.
now WB is 100 years old!
Happy Birthday, Warner Bros! Here’s to 100 more
and Disney too, I guess
What a blast!
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will;
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear.
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower turns on her God when he sets
The same look which she turned when he rose
BOOM BOOM
I can never get that last note right.
It's the Looney Tunes skit that just keeps on giving. ;)
I'm glad, too, because I don't know if I would have ever heard this beautiful song but for that.
Oh but I am referring to the Private SNAFU video.
Oh, OK. I just went with the most likely scenario. "Booby Traps" was probably the first time that gag was used.
4Stanzas Yep.
"When he strikes this note, instead of a xylophone, he'll be playing a harp!"
LOL :)
My mother sang this to my brothers and me when it was sleep time. Times fade, "But As Truly Loves On To The Close." Entropy is so devastating that only memories are left.
Thanks for sharing.
When I was a child, I heard the tune for the first time in those Loony Tunes videos, and oh how I cried with laughter!
When I grew up, I heard the tune again in its raw unaltered beauty, and learned it's true meaning; and I cried again, for a completely different reason.
Lyrics-
Believe me, if all those endearing young cha-
BOOOM!!
The KA-BOOM song
Got here from Looney Tunes also. Amazing how this likely forgotten tune is now immortalized thanks to the clever scripting and scoring from Warner Brothers. BTW: The first version of this was in a 1944 SNAFU cartoon.
Now let's enjoy some opera: "Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit…."
"Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit…." LOL, my first encounter with Wagner. Good Ol' Looney Tunes.
Oh man what a lovely melody could not get the whole experience after the explosion
LOL... I blow a lot of minds.
In fact this is the ultimate lovesong
finaly get to hear this song not cartooonified .:)
Let's-face-facts: Pvt. Snafu, Bugs Bunny & the Road Runner have "ruined" this song for all future generations! Same way the Three Stooges "ruined" "voice of spring" and "sextet from Lucia"!
Je viens de corée du sud.
J'avais l'habitude de chanter cette jolie chanson depuis quand j'avais dix ou onze ans.
Je ne savais même pas que c'était une chanson irlandaise.
Cette chanson est toujours dans mon cœur et le sera.
And for ur infos.
Forget about "KABOOM"
I've already removed detonator.
Trust me :)
0:08 Where's the BOOM??!!?... There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering Boom!!!...
lol That's Marvin the Martian, not the Young Charms gag! (Still funny though.)
lol, I know... But I couldn't help myself. ;)
Where’s the KA-BOOM? Where’s the earth-shattering KA-BOOM?!?! -Marvin the Martian (1950s)
boom
"OOOOOOOH YA STUPID RABBIT!!! LIKE THIS!!!"
Lol
(plays it correctly, explosion)
God looks at us all this way. Ugly or beautiful makes no difference to Him. The quality of the heart is all that matters.
Boooooooooom
0:08 KABOOM
And boom goes the dynamite.
The ending of the original poem is different. It's worth checking.
Is there a bomb?
Pro tip: Never play this song past the 8 second mark. The thing playing the song is liable to explode.
Im going on a hunch and say people came here from the bugs bunny bomb under the key
It's a possibility.
You ain't just whistlin' dixie
I was introduced to this song as a kid watching the little rebel by Shirley Temple.
What brought me here was playing this on the Irish tin whistle
Slappy squirrel from animaniacs in my case, but yes, old gag. New twist.
0:08,....KA-BOOM!!
西方最偉大的愛情詩歌，沒有之一，紀念1919.5.4.
The most touching Love Song, enduring, to "Silver Threads Among The Gold“， hand in hand, by the Golden Pond.
A Looney Tunes cartoon featuring this song and a TNT bomb attached to the piano at the final introductory note (C5) brought me here,.
The gag that keeps on giving. Never gets old. :)
0:10 - BOOOOOOM!!
Lol. :)
Fair Harvard! we join in thy Jubilee throng,
And with blessings surrender thee o’er
By these Festival-rites, from the Age that is past,
To the Age that is waiting before.
O Relic and Type of our ancestors’ worth,
That hast long kept their memory warm,
First flow’r of their wilderness! Star of their night!
Calm rising thro’ change and thro’ storm.
Farewell! be thy destinies onward and bright!
To thy children the lesson still give,
With freedom to think, and with patience to bear,
And for Right ever bravely to live.
Let not moss-covered Error moor thee at its side,
As the world on Truth’s current glides by,
Be the herald of Light, and the bearer of Love,
Till the stars in the firmament die.
Where's the KABOOM? There was meant to be an earth shattering KABOOM?
The Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator! That creature has stolen the space modulator!
Go away kid, yer botherin' me.
I wonder why this was the song chosen for the Looney Tunes bit.
Hard to say. Maybe because the song was popular, yet old enough that it wasn't copyrighted? There's also a connotation of innocence within the title, which lends itself to the setup - offsetting the evil intent within the gag.
And presumably the fact that anybody with even the slightest ability to play the piano, would know to hit that e flat, since it's one of the easiest notes to guess! XD
Looney Tunes had a lot of interesting songs: Go Fetch the Ax, Singing in the Bathtub, Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet, Powerhouse, and then there's all the classical music.
0:09 *EXPLODES*
Where was the kaboom, the massive earth shattering kaboom?
Lol. Never gets old. :)
I would make a comment about how the song is not safe to play on piano.........but it seems as if everyone else has beaten me to it.
The more the merrier. I wished I'd have known when recording it. I went through three pianos ...
Maybe try a xylophone next time. ;)
Good idea... less expensive.
I tried it and no explosion
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Remember that we are such and to such we shall return.
Beautiful song and played very well but you need to adjust the on screen lyrics with the music or just before the music is played.....I don't know the lyrics so the first couple of words or late showing on the screen to match the music......Thank you.....
Same to me. Thank you.
Yeah, it's way out of whack. Very annoying.
Brace your self brace yourself!.... nothing!? :D
Looney Tunes sent me here.
Lol... I'm honored. :)
Same
Then go away.
Bugs Bunny has forever ruined this song for me.
His piano must be broken. It didn't blow up
It did blow up, but I edited it out. If you listen carefully, you can hear the difference between the two pianos. :)
Allah-u akbar! :D
