What you got left over is more than what most folks start out with.

The best adaptation of a comic strip in cinema history.

That musical is so underrated..so of the lyrics are hysterical

That "you is pushing 18" line really made me laugh. I have a friend 20 years my junior who is like this. Great song.

Leslie Parrish was absolutely slammin'. Mercy.

Leslie Parrish was such a beauty, and Stubby Kaye is one of the best musical comedy actors ever, especially in this and Guys and Dolls.

This musical needs to be better known! It's really great!

WOW! I haven't heard this song in at least 40 years, but I never forgot it. Sir Graves Ghastly used to play the part starting around 1:38 each week for his "You've Past Your Prime" club on TV. Viewers would send in their photos and ages and he'd show them while this played. Some of the "past prime" viewers were really old, others were hilariously young! It was so much fun. I had no idea it was from "Lil Abner" - I just figured it was one of the Spike Jones records he occasionally played. Happy memories!

That lady is spectacular.

This has always been my favorite song from the musical. We performed this my Sr Hi play. 45yrs ago last month, I'm past my prime. What I use to do all night and day. Now takes me all night to do. 😆

I’m 17 last spring, my friend sings this to me all the time

Best film adaptation of Daisy Mae in my opinion.

One of the best on screen Duets ever. I defy anyone to name 3 that are better.

Fantastic song, score, stage musical and movie musical.

I love this song so much! my community theater is performing this play this summer and I got the part of daisy mae... i'm so excited!!

"Just look at this physique," she says. I don't have to be asked twice.

Stubby Kaye is a great performer!

"What you've got left over is more than what most folks starts out with." Haha!

me too...I love movies from this era...the best!

I picked it up by accident a few years ago. It's AWESOME!

This is a good song - I've never heard it before and I thought I knew all of Johnny Mercer's songs

In doing my family tree research, I just found out last week that the gal actually doing the singing, Imogene Lynn, was my cousin. I had lunch with her brother Max last summer. He just happened to mention her in an email yesterday. I had no idea, pretty cool. You can actually see Imogene in another You Tube video by searching using "Imogene Lynn - Big Boy". She is singing with the Ray McKinley Orchestra.

lovely, first time I have seen this .

This movie has the best lines ever! Hilarious!!

Love this movie! =)

i'm in lil abner right now as daisy mae!

we did this musical my freshman year. and it was great!!!

Yay!! Thank you so much!

In the first performance of Li'l Abner, according to the vocal score, Mammy Yokum was played by Charlotte Rae (Mrs. Garrett).

Just did this show! I was Speedy McRabbit! :)

One of the bast musicals ever.

Gorgeous lady.

He was perfect in Guys & Dolls. He just seemed like Nicely Nicely Johnson. Haven't seen Cat Ballou though.

STUBBY KAYE IS GOD!!

At least they haven't cut this song to pieces, or cut them completely out, like they've done with the DVD you can get now. Two of my favourites are completely gone, oh happy day (the scientists song) and progress is the route of all evil (General Bullmoose's song). Glad I still have the original soundtrack on record with all of it there. Songs that had chunks cut out are The country's in the very best of hands, Jubilation T Cornpone and the matrimonial stomp. So disappointing!

She's the purtiest thang I ever seed...:)

Wow! Some people will do ANYTHING to keep from being in a movie. :D Seriously, I didn't know that. Thanks!

Congrats!

This is such a cute musical! I love techinicolor muscials. :]

I agree about THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, but believe it or not, that is Leslie Parrish's singing.

What a great physique! I bet Stubby must've worked out.

We proposed "Lil Abner" as our senior play (high school). The principal vetoed it because of this song and the costumes. Today, this would be considered tame.

She was on an episode of the original Star Trek. I believe it was the Apollo episode.

thanks! :)

our school is doing this musical this year and we r watching the movie too

I'm in Two Rivers. Very small fishing village. Nice place, though. Very laid back.

I need those pants!!!!

There are also excellent videos on KZfaq of him in Guys and Dolls and Cat Ballou with Nat King Cole.

Will do.

Okay, I have a crush on the guy that’s plays Sam in my theater guild. Daisy sits on his knee at the end and 😔🙃

just lovely! please post "namely you"!! this video is impossible to find here in Brazil!

Know how she feels

Wish this film was out on dvd or shown on tv or something. Such a classic.

As of 2023 Leslie Parrish is 87

That's Leslie Parrish (singing voice: Imogene Lynn) along with Stubby Kaye.

Very attractive woman

@slave2moonlight ....agreed! the only reason I've seen it is cause I accidentaly stumbled on it one night on TV

DAISY MAE : Looks good in her ATTIRE .

@VandalStork I'm right with you, brother!

wasnt he also the host of Shennagins kid show?

lol she's only eighteen! CD

Beautiful! But I wish Edie Adams had done the film version, too!

she married the great writer richard bach

Relatively easy. If you're a member, at the top of your channel, just click upload and follow the instructions. It's pretty self-explanitory. Hope this helps.

I think I can do just that, but I can't promise to do it soon. It might be a couple of weeks.

Hubba-Hubba!

Anyone hace the film version of Jubilation T cornpone?

How did the musical go? What part did you play? Can you post a KZfaq video of it?

It bugs me that streaming video services don't carry this movie...😢

Edie Adams did not play Daisey Mae in the film version.

I do apologize to you and Ms. Lynn. Send her my deapest admiration, and tell her I love her singing for the cartoon "Red Hot Riding Hood."

What key is this sung in?

What is the reason that Daisy Mae wears a different color top in the second act of every performance of Lil' Abner? And why is it always pink and blue, when she usually wore a green top in the strip?

@lp4ju Same here, actually!

Can you upload "Put 'em Back" from the movie? It seems that no one has it up, so please? Pretty please? :)

Good luck!!! (or rather "Break a leg")

He sure is! He does bare a resemblance to Buddha ;)

Seriously!!! I think she had just as good a voice as the other musical talent out there, but musicals were on their way out. Pity.

leslie parrish is my cousin my family never new where i got my voice then when we found out she was part of our family then they new where i got my voice!

@VandalStork they are also revered for their intelligence rather than their looks

Parrish looks better than she did in a Star Fleet uniform.

Aint it the truth bae?

1. Stubby had two great performances in the 1950- this and Guys and Dolls. I used to look forward to him being on the game show Stump the Stars. He was great at charades. 2. You can't write this type of song today as the pronounciation in a good portion sounds like the stereotype used against Blacks. It would have to be cleaned up.

G

Love this. But Edie Adams did it best.

No offense to the lovely Leslie Parrish, but they should have kept the delicious Edie Adams from the Broadway play to play Daisy Mae.

This girley is quite good in this role of daisy mae...but I think I prefer the role better played by Martha O"Driscoll...from the 1940's t/v show lil abner ...b/c her beauty didn't over shadow the behavior of dasiey mae being a desperate man trapper of Abner.. this girls good looks make ya say why on earth would she even want lil abner's mountain boy country butt..

Namely you has been posted. Check my channel.

Very superficial view of Capp's material and typical of what you find on MySpace. You're obviously unfamiliar with Capp and don't "get it." Capp made many political statements here which have obviously gone right over your head.
