The Bandit Song

I love the lyrics to the song, very creative and funny. I have two favorite bits with the song, the first is before the song begins and the bandits are all telling what they've stolen from Scrooge's deathbed, and the little one says (in a profoundly funny proud tone) "I got his SHEETS!"
I also love during the song when the tall bandit reaches into his coat during the chorus, pulls out some flowers and strews them about.

This scene use to scare me when I was little,especially as they marched into the store with the ominous music starting,and when the rat(?) sees Magoo and the ghost and is frightened.

Yes, this is a GREAT Christmas show special song.

LA...LA.....LA LA LA LA LA.......

LA...LA.....LA LA LA LA LA...

Is what the "mouth" sings. It's great.

Doesn't come on TV, anymore, sadly. The kids nowadays don't know what they're missing. Some great songs and campy scenes.

"A hand for each hand was made in the world....
Why don't my fingers reach?
Millions of grains of sand in the world...
Why such a lonely beach?"

Remember that song that Ebenezer sings as a child in the schoolhouse?

Great show.

My favorite parts of the song is where the screen goes black and we see four big mouths sing La la la la la. I dunno why that's funny -- it just is!

And what's Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like?

"We're not tea-party blokes, no chitty-chat or artichokes". Hilarious!

And did you notice a voice change during the song? When they're speaking, Paul Frees voices the undertaker and the eye-patch man, but when they're singing, Frees is still the undertaker, but a different actor is singing for the eye-patch man. I'm wondering...why? Did Paul's voice for the guy not sound good musically, or weren't they able to record the sessions separately and play them in unison, like they do for the Chipmunks??

"We're just blankety blank, blank, no good" Oompah , oompah, oompah etc..

In the thieves scene in every version of A Christmas Carol, "We're Despicable" from Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol always plays in my head. I also start to choke up in the schoolroom scene in every version because of the "I'm All Alone in the World" song.
