Well. I got my hands on the Sound of Music soundtrack and utter goofiness ensued.

I almost feel like I should apologize for this one.

The Lonely Goatherd .

Lyrics can be found here .

(Music: written by Rodgers & Hammerstein, performed by Julie Andrews et al.)

OMG! This vid is hilarious! No need for any apologies at all, C_A.

I'm a big fan of TSOM so when I saw the title to this thread I just had to see what someone had come up with. I really thought there was no way to make this anything more than a bunch of random clips set to music, but boy was I proven wrong! You did a superb job of selecting clips that went with the song, and I especially loved the little piece of dialogue at the beginning.

Great job, C_A! I can't wait to see more vids from you!!

~Anna

Okay, this was awesome. Just... fantastic. I'm a huge fan of The Sound of Music and this was a real treat.

The intro and the play on the SOM intro was just great, and I love how you added that Perry/Jimmy scene! Great way to make the video interesting and really funny, while at the same time nice and waffy.

Julie

I love this video!! So funny. Great job, and very creative!

All I can say is Yoddle layhe Yoddle layhe Yoddle layhe hoo!

I *love* that intro!

I am so downloading this!

OMG, that is *hysterical*! Brilliant, too! I would never have thought that song could make an L&C video, let alone a really WAFFy one...!

You have to get this up on folcvideo.com, you know...

PJ

WONDERFUL!

This is my favorite musical of all time and this song was perfect! So different and unique! I loved it. The scenes worked really well too! Well done!

O di lay i!

~Lois Lane Wanna Be

PS: I thought it was kind of ironic there was a nun in one of your opening scenes

That was hilarious. When you had "loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd" and Superman screaming at the Pole, I just about died. It only got worse from there.

The intro was just beautiful, and I love the way you ended it as well.

Now, I must go watch again!

What got me was yodel = kiss.

Hysterical!


Wendy

Oh wow! This is a nice surprise . If this is the kind of response a video like this gets, maybe I should try "My Favorite Things" next...

That was, of course, completely intentional .

Again, thanks everyone. Glad you enjoyed it, because I had tons of fun putting it together.

I'll forego saying it was hilarious and WAFFy, since everyone else has got there before me. It was though.

I think my favourite bit was them falling onto the sofa - hilarious 'lyric' match there. But it's hard to choose because it all flowed so smoothly and matched so perfectly.

Amazing! I'm jealous of your inspirational skills!

LabRat

Oh good god!

Welcome, C_A to the dark realm of comedy. WOO HOO! I'm glad someone else is stepping over that line. Goood Job! It had me cracking up. *saves it to fave folder*

Rach

WOW! This is hilarious. I enjoyed it immensely.

i've never tried looking at these before, with my dial-up modem, but i tried to see this one....

couldn't. it wouldn't let me. something about internet exploder blocking me, i said download it anyway, view it, and it looks like it's starting, but then ...ok i just opened it, took about 35 mins with my connection, and it wouldn't play. *sigh*...... hope it was good....

Sileas, have you tried dl any of the other videos? The ones uploaded to FoLCVideo , rather than an external upload site? It may just be the site this particular video was uploaded to that you have a problem with.

If you have problems with other vids let us know - someone should be able to help you solve the problem, whatever's causing it. We know guys who know guys. Well, gals, mostly.

LabRat

I thought it was hilarious! Well, the part of it I could watch. I had the same problem with it that I did with a video-chapter a friend posted to his website. I couldn't jump from one part to another--no control over where I was, other than play, pause, and stop. Then, 2:42 into it, the sound quit. Five seconds later, the whole video stopped. I tried it on Windows Media Player and JetAudio both--same result. I'm not sure what causes this quirk, but it is a pain.

However, from what I did see, the video was amusing and inventive. And the dialogue clip at the beginning was just perfect! Great job!

I've got DSL and a new computer and I've NEVER been able to see a video set up at one of those "Download here" sites. I don't have any problem with anyone's regular website or the FoLC one, but those "Download here" sites seem to stump both me and my computer. And I've had some people who know people even FoLC people try to help - but they aren't compatible with my setup.

Wah, wah, wah. Sounds like I missed a good one.

That's a real shame, Ethnica - this one really is worth watching. A couple of us in the thread asked C_A to upload the video to the FoLCVideo website, so maybe she will...?


Wendy

Okay, I give in . Here 's the new link.

I also changed three or so clips, which I thought fit better than the ones I had.

Thanks to everyone else commenting on the vid. I am amazed by the feedback this has gotten. Talk about high expectations. Maybe I should just retire from vid making ...

For some weird coincidence this movie just showed here yesterday

Great video, i already watched twice and its so cute, make me grin the entire time.

Well, I figured out the problem--I downloaded it again (using a different computer) and it ended up a couple mb larger--and complete. And it was funny! Cracked me up how well it was done.

I only have three words for this video: that was fantastic!!! That's my favorite song in the whole movie! Nice job!

Lola

Finally!

LOL. I've been dying to watch this video since the Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies. I just had to wait til I visited the folks for the weekend so I could use a better internet service. That was inspired! Loved every bit of it.

JD

Many thanks for making it accessible. (well, that and 'Trees' ). I hadn't heard it in years. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory as well as making a Super video.

Once again, thank you for the kind feedback. I'm glad that everyone got to see it. Given the enormous amount of praise this video received, I'm having trouble coming up with something to follow it up with... <g>

I didn't have anything else to do so I was just looking around the boards for older posts when I found this!!
And I thought FDK is always welcome even two years later, right??

Well, I must say the tittle caught my attention !! I just loved the TSOM when I saw it (It's my best friend favorite movie, so she made me watch it ), so I was curious how this would be a LnC clip
And the clip you made to it was so funny (I had to watch it multiple times because I loved it so much) and WAFFy at the same time!!
It just put a smile on my face.

LOL!!! OMG!!! ROTFLMBO!!!

Camy, thank you for resurrecting this thread! I had missed this song. C_A posted it several months before I was on here.

Boy, am I sorry I missed it! C_A that was a riot. The whole "yodel" speech at the beginning and Perry yodeling as it started - ha ha ha! And then several of the yodelahee "woo-hoos" were in really funny parts. Hee hee hee. Very nicely chosen scenes and wonderfully done. Thanks for a good morning laugh!!!

-- DJ

Goodness! Two years later and this vid is still generating feedback. I must have done something right . Thanks, you two. I really appreciate it.

I only just saw this one...

BWAHAHAHAHHAHA that was hilarious and *sniff* so beautiful as well.

rotfpmsl

I missed this vid the first time around! Very funny. Like others have said, I love the intro, and I also loved how you used the make-out scene from SuperMann. Good work:)

That was wonderful!!!

The beginning was PERFECT!!!!
Carol

Im so glad this was bumped up so I could a chance to see it. I just recently discovered the Sound of Music and fell in love with it. I'm loving this video. the scenes fit great how in the world did you manage that.

Once again, thanks so much for all the kind comments.

I don't know. It's been a long time since I made the video, but I remember that everything kind of just fell into place. Making the vid was definitely a fun experience.

This is one of the truly great romantic comedies of all time. Rare is a vid that make you go Awwwww! while at the same time.

Excellent, Stupendous, Magniferous...Job.

WOO. Wonderful. It's so funny. It matches song with scene

I have a bone to pick! This video should come with a serious health warning. Ever since I watched it a few months ago, I've had the friggin' song stuck in my head!

You know how the last thing you hear on the radio in the morning before you go to work is the tune you'll be humming for the rest of the day? Well, if my brain is at any point devoid of such a random song, I automatically, and unconsciously, start singing something else. And at the moment that something else happens to be The lonely goatherd (or occassionally Tomorrow from Annie!) .

What the hell is that about?! And the fact that I only know the first line doesn't seem to matter. It's driving me bananas!

I am not amused.
