My sister and I were little girls when this was a new show. We immediately added this song to our repertory of party pieces, and we are still singing it in 2022- tho we'll never rock it like Ann Morgan Gilbert.
Millie's song lyrics are hilarious, what makes it the funniest song is how serious Millie is about her lyrics. She actually thinks she's written a heartfelt torch song. I never get tired of hearing her singing this song.
I'd been combing RUclips for a long time, looking for this song... It's still one of the funniest things that was ever on TV. What a great comedic actress she was!
@@unclebobunclebob Sorry I didn't run into this comment sooner, and maybe you've found the answer in the meantime, but in case you haven't: That's in the "Bupkis" episode; you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/vl4pjhpIxFo/видео.html Great song! I love it too! 😀
Remembering Ann Morgan-Guilbert (1928-2016), who brought to life Millie Helper, one of tv's most memorable next-door neighbor's on The Dick Van Dyke Show, one of tv's all-time great situation comedies...Ann was an actress possessing impeccable comic timing and a consummate pro at any role she accepted...Her dear old feisty soul will be deeply missed but never forgotten...Rest in peace, Mill...
This and her Mae West imitation when she plays Cleopatra are little golden nuggets. I do love the climax of this song: "And so I'll KILL MYSELF....I'm funny that way,"
"A Sentimental Love Song" Words & Music by Mildred Helper My heart got a smash in the face, that night I will never erase. You saw me standing beneath the sun and stars and I was something to see! Then you took hold of my aching heart and kicked it right in the knee" My heart has a terrible scar, I'll get you for this, wherever you are! But first, I'll kill myself! (I'm funny that way). But seriously darling..........your OhhhKay. ~ The whole song is crazy funny! And her delivery: Priceless!
I love this episode too. I like where she says "I hate camping, I hate fishing, I can just about tolerate the kids and I'm not that wild about Jerry." That line just cracks me up.
"I'll get you for this, wherever you are!" --the funniest line. Music and Lyrics by Mildred Helper. Thank you, Ann M. Guilbert for your sidekick friend to 'Laura', wherever you are!
From the episode, "Too Many Stars" (Oct. 30, 1963) with Sylvia Lewis as the other dancer, with Rob and Laura in doing their marvelous song-and-dance number, "The Doodlin Song."
She was wonderful and I always felt she never got her due for her contribution to this show. She was so talented and could handle any emotion or comedy bit.
Absolutely one of the funniest things ever on television. Every word is a gem and the way AMGuilbert sells it is pure genius! My heart got a smash in the face That night I will never erase You saw me standing 'neath the sun and the stars And I was something to see Then you took hold of my aching heart And kicked it right in the knee! My heart has a terrible scar I’ll get you for this wherever you are But first I’ll kill myself! (I’m funny that way) But seriously darling, you’re OK.
The look of horror and disbelief of Millie's performance from Laura and the girl sitting in the background against brick wall fireplace is, well, justified AND funny.
Loved it then, love it now! Thank you for tracking this down. The actress cracked me up in Picket Fences, too. Remember the scene? Husband: Have you ever wanted to kill me? Wife reaches to turn out the lamp on her side of the bed and says something like "in forty two years of marriage, not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about killing you." A perfect expression of love between two people who have chosen to live together that long :-)
0:42 and again at 1:26, Mary's facial expression is a terrific bit with stunned wonderment on how bad Millie was! She never would be as good in her own series as she was as Laura. Just wasn't the same with so many other performers taking away from her in The MTM Show compared to her more central role in The DVD Show.
Couldn't agree with you more. I didn't like her in The MTM show at all. In The DVD show her character as Laura was more interesting and she looked gorgeous.
@@sweetvictory5643 Mary was the only major actress in a tv series in the mid-1960s, at the peak of the greatest, most gorgeous collection of women actors ever seen on television, and showing the best in-depth character than my #2s (Barbara Eden and Feldon; "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Get Smart", respectively). "Laura Petrie" far, far surpassed "Mary Richards" a single, working woman, in her tv series. She also aged significantly (33 in Sep. 1970 from her 29 on TDVDS Jun 1966), although still attractive, she lost something, and in that ensemble cast. No singing (exc. her hilarious, off-key "One For The Road" with "Lou Grant" encouragement), no dancing, no real skill advanced from her comedic jewel as "Laura Petrie." TDVDS was, and still is my al-time favorite sitcom (along with "I Love Lucy" and "Get Smart"), and her incredible advancement as a raw novice, to a brilliant comedic actress is unparalleled in television. That whole cast, crew, writers (and creator Carl Reiner) was the best I ever saw, or will see!
@@freeguy77 I only started watching this show last fall and LOVE it. I saw The MTM show twice, love it but didn't find her character interesting. I agree with you - MTM is a very good comedic actress, especially in The DVD show. I don't care about the dancing and singing in the show, except of Millie's FUNNY performance and Rosie Mary's serious singing. So, I don't miss it in The MTM show. You mentioned all those shows but one - Rhoda which I love. Sure, it's not a 60s show but 70s. I love the character of Brenda performed by Julie Kavner, she's hilarious! Now, she's a brilliant comedic actress.
Millie is my favorite. It's too bad she wasn't interested in a contract and becoming more of a regular. Every season the producers tried to get her to sign on to more episodes offering her then ungodly money for a supporting character. She just wasn't interested. in a fulltime gig on a series.
+Melanie Daniels I agree with you. I was much more entertained by the episodes with "Millie" (and "Millie & Jerry Helper," and "Rob, Laura, and Richie Petrie"" at home) than by the eps. with "Rob" and his co-workers on "The Alan Brady Show." Of course I admit to being more domestic than work-centered--"I'm funny that way" too.What is your favorite episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show?" And if it's not one with "Millie," then also what is your favorite "Millie" episode?My favorite "Millie" episode is "Long Night's Journey into Day." which I read somewhere is also Ann Morgan Guilbert's favorite episode. And supposedly that episode was originally not to have featured Guilbert very much after "Millie" dropped off the "Helper's" myna bird ("Herschel") and went on the camping trip with "Jerry," "Rob" and the boys ("Richie" and "Freddie Helper"). "Don't be nervous!"
+gymnastix I really don't know if I have a favorite Millie centric episode as there weren't enough of them. I'm not sure if they really are any. I can name lots of Millie centric scenes because every scene she was in she effortlessly stole. You really can't blame the writers and producers because they knew what they had and tried desperately to get her to commit to a larger part she was just not into the grind of being a bigger regular on a weekly show. My favorite Millie scene is When Laura believes that she broke up the marriage of a French singer and she's giving the story to Millie and Sally. Holy cow that was funny. It's called the Square Triangle. That scene is the funniest in the series not the toupe scene. Can you keep a secret Millie? You knew that line said by Laura was going to be a funny episode.
Millie not interested in long term contracts?..Now that you mention this, it sounds like a career bonehead move on her part. Was she holding out thinking she was going to sign some big movie contract and be the next Ann Bancroft, Ruth Roman, Hedy Lamarr, or Lauren Bacall? Oy!!
The grin and enthusiasm on Jerry's face is priceless. Nudnik Millie gets down with cigarette in hand with short cornball showtune type thing probably penned by Carl Reiner. 8 years later we have 'Morrison motel' Manson murders, Berkeley riots, Easy rider, Viet Nam, watergate, hippies, What the bleep happened in 8 odd short years? Robert at 68.
Thank you for tracking this one down! - x 10. I remember this from when I was a kid. I was telling my 16 year old about it. Thanks to you we laughed ourselves silly!
There was also the episode where all of the neighborhood women tried out for Cleopatra. The guy from Hogan's Hero's is trying out with Millie and then Laura and then another woman.
I think MTM strove not to have any alumnus from the DVD show on her show. I can understand not having Rose Marie , but I think did want her own identity and not to rely on any connection with DVD show
@@JJJBRICE Mary did have Jerry Van Dyke on her show, so that was nice to see them together once more, after he did that two-parter on "The Sleeping Brother'!
The thing about this show when I was young is that virtually everybody had three names . Rose Marie only used her first and second names to buck the trend .
@@bobmalack481 I am anything but a millennial, so you were wrong right from that idea. I was making fun of you making it 2 words instead of just spelling it correctly for that other poster who tried to make everyone else believe he was correct. So you were wrong to imply my generation as saying that other mistake about me. Try not to guess someone's age or generation again, unless you enjoy being proved wrong, unless the poster said it himself. Sorry, Charlie!
@@bobmalack481 I said by telling you, I gave up the chance to make you wrong a THIRD time in humiliating you further. What did I tell you to stop guessing on a person's age or generation, unless he said what it was? Go ahead, keep making a fol of yourself! Have fun, Bob! PS: you are the most boring person, so no more wasting my time on you!
@@bobmalack481 You humiliated yourself once more. Not my birth year, dumbo, I used 77 because I liked the number,. Stop guessing, and you can now crawl back under the rock you came out of. Bye.
No wonder the aghast look from Sylvia Lewis (sitting against brick wall fireplace) and Laura. Sylvia Lewis's turn to perform later in clip is actually quite professional and the same jaw dropping repeats again, but for the opposite reason, and a look of jealousy shows from Laura as Rob is titilated by her and her performance...LOL!!
Nudnik Millie should sing 'Jewish' songs.."Oy a broch!" "Now on my street there's a Deli, The owners got some kind of nerve. If the herring and onions dont kill you, you'll die of old age 'till your served. Gotta shlep down to Fairfax avenue, you would't believe the knishes. Gotta shlep down to Fairfax avenue, thats where I buy smoked fishes"...
+Di I When something is listed one way consistently in every source I see, that is what I go by. Did you work on the show? Don't take it so personally.
I'm not taking it personally I promise. And sorry if I sound strident. I just get tired and frustrated with seeing things on the internet that have become accepted as truth when they are not. The credits I refer to are the ones on the show at that time, and in the good old fashioned tv guide that was published then, and I assure you the name was Halper. As a last point , since I can tell you are a reasonable and intelligent person, please listen carefully to the video above where Millie states her name as she starts to sing her song. Listen very carefully. Even with her slight accent, in your opinion, is the first syllable she pronounces Hal as in Hal, or Hel as in hell? I know they are very close, but I think the difference is discernible. Perhaps I hear things like this better because I spent my life teaching language. Please listen to that part and let me know what you think. I am interested in your opinion. Thanks.
Jerry is either extremely supportive of his wife or tone deaf. Love this!!
My sister and I were little girls when this was a new show. We immediately added this song to our repertory of party pieces, and we are still singing it in 2022- tho we'll never rock it like Ann Morgan Gilbert.

She is hilarious and I love that we got to enjoy her again on tv on the Nanny.
She was also a regular on Getting On...the HBO comedy with Laurie Metcalf. Funny.
Oy gevalt!
She also was on The New Andy Griffith Show
Sooo hilarious!! 😂😂😂
Oh my stars I had no idea Millie was Yetta!
I'd been combing RUclips for a long time, looking for this song... It's still one of the funniest things that was ever on TV. What a great comedic actress she was!
Has anybody here ever found the Attila The Hun Song...I'm sure it was on Dick Van Dyke Show, but I can't find it on a RUclips search.

The bit with the cigarette…😂
Ann was a wonderful and versatile actress! This was so funny!
I love Jerry's face...
I'm crying with tears of laughter and sadness. R.I.P. Ann Morgan Guilbert
What a great ensemble show. Jerry & Millie were a valued part of that crazy little world.
Still so funny after all these years! Ann Morgan-Guilbert was an amazing actress.
This is the best sentimental love song ever !!!!!
Lmao I love how she switches the cigarette
"A Sentimental Love Song"
Words & Music by Mildred Helper
My heart got a smash in the face,
that night I will never erase.
You saw me standing beneath the sun and stars
and I was something to see!
Then you took hold of my aching heart
and kicked it right in the knee"
My heart has a terrible scar,
I'll get you for this, wherever you are!
But first, I'll kill myself! (I'm funny that way).
But seriously darling..........your OhhhKay.

My favorite Mille episode was Long Nights Journey Into Day. "You hit me again, I'll let you have it." RIP
I just watched her segment in The Guide For The Married Man, "Deny, Deny, Deny" with Joey Bishop. Her timing was brilliant
I love this episode too. I like where she says "I hate camping, I hate fishing, I can just about tolerate the kids and I'm not that wild about Jerry." That line just cracks me up.
The I ll let you have it always does it to me.
The line that I like is from a mother's point of view "I can just about tolerate the kids" is what really does it for me.
And from a wifes point of view, " I'm not that wild about Jerry."
"I'll get you for this, wherever you are!" --the funniest line. Music and Lyrics by Mildred Helper. Thank you, Ann M. Guilbert for your sidekick friend to 'Laura', wherever you are!

Thumbs up if you could see someone in your family singing this!

No nudniks in our family, sorry

Millie was always my favorite, next to Sally.
Rob should have pulled Jerry off to the side and warned him never to divorce Mille if he valued his life. Lol!
RIP Ann Morgan Guilbert. aka Millie Helper.
Sad to hear of your passing.

it's hilarious and Sylvia Lewis is fantastic in the dance number afterwards
One of the funniest scenes from that show. 😂 Go Millie!
I loved her. I be 52 in one week. thanks millie. for the laughs
That was adorable!
Adorable...Oy!!
To think I got introduced to the actress (though I didn't know it at the time) as Yetta then I really got to see her at her best as Millie.
