Bailskywalker ...91 people will accuse their crush's date of being a monster and will guide a mob to go murdering him/her? That's a very mature way of dealing with your emotions. Simply understanding that you're not the right person for him/her and knowing that she/he is not the right person for you neither cause if you'd really love him/her you would let him/her to be happy, even if that happiness doesn't come from you is too mainstream I guess XD
Not ONCE do any of these people think “hey, this beast has been in that castle for... how long? And he’s never once bothered us before? Maybe we shouldn’t bother him?”
Whatever is perceived as a threat to the "norm" is considered an enemy to the majority. Except... life is so much complicated than that and nothing can ever be boiled down to concrete absolutes, besides scientific or numerical fact and even then, there will always be people who question that. Go figure.
this song is pretty much to demonstrate the dangers of mob mentalities. Also, if you're charismatic enough, you'll have no problem convincing the divided masses to even do something so unreasonable
"Raise the flag! Sing the song! Here we come, we're fifty strong! And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong!" Mob mentality in a nutshell. Disney songs are full of little jokes and clever phrases, if you take the time to look.
If you didn't know the whole story, like Gaston doesn't, then the beast could actually be seen as a bad guy. He kidnaps an old man, then imprisons the man's daughter. For all Gaston knows, Belle has stolkholm syndrom. The beast would actually be pretty awful sounding if all you knew was that he imprisioned some girl.
To be fair they were trespassing. Plus even if Gaston knew the whole story he'd still do this cause he's a bastard who planned to threaten Belle into marrying him, if she refused her father would be taken to a mad house.
That's valid, but knowing the whole of Gaston's story, this was more of a testosterone/rage induced vengeance against the beast. He laughs at Belle and Maurice but the moment he picks up on Belle's true feelings - feelings that she never showed him - he couldn't bear it. He uses the Beast's appearance to his advantage, inciting the townsfolk, but we see it's a personal vendetta - "Take whatever booty you can find, but remember, the Beast is mine!" - he cannot let another man "win" Belle. Just my opinion ;)
A lot of people compare Gaston to a bully, but i think Gaston is more like a terrorist. Only he doesn't use terror to make people fear him, he uses terror to make people fear his enemies, thus rallying them to his cause. This song has some dark social undertones. Shows how easy it can be to manipulate the weak minded public.
all they know is that Gaston is the towns' most respected citizen (probably akin to a local superhero) and that belle was kidnapped and has been driven slightly crazy by her experience. Hell, i'd grab a pitchfork. Gaston isnt a terrorist, he's just taking things on face value
TheGoodFather And she has Stockholm Syndrome so can you really blame him? He may be the villain in Disney's black and white moral world, but I actually think he may be right.
@@TheSlammurai its actually Lima syndrome on the beasts part, she chose to stay after given a chance to leave, and hated him p much till they got closer
It made me really sad to hear the Beast speak at the end. His voice didn't sound like something evil at all, but rather a sensitive soul. Yet he is a beast, and without seeing him your imagination could run wild about what terrible thing he looks like. It made it clear how cursed he is and how fearful the villagers would be about something they've never seen.
Disney's making a point about how some humans are narrow-minded butt faces. Seeing that you disagree with these lyrics proves you're NOT one of said butt faces.
Well, it pretty defines the idea of a mob. Gaston played on the villagers' fears, talking about the Beast eating their children and wives. By the time the fear and increasingly morbid suppositions was through, they were convinced they needed to take quick, preemptive action. Its a well-known fact that the bigger the crowd, the lower the overall ability to reason.
Its amazing how the villagers decided to follow Gaston after he's been proven a liar... Though I suppose the greater fear of the beast is a great motivator.
Every time I replay Skyrim, I play this song as I lead the guards of Whiterun to go kill the first dragon. It may be weird but it pumps me up so much hahaha
I've got this song playing in my head every time I'm sent to kill Movarth in Morthal. I can almost hear this bunch of peasants who tail after me singing this.
Gaston is by far my favorite character in Beauty and the Beast, and this is my favorite of his songs. His voice is powerful and his range is pretty impressive. Thanks for uploading!
Here's an oddity I noticed. On the soundtrack album version of this song, when Beast is speaking his lines, it sounds like Benson's natural voice, whereas in the finished film they obviously deepened it electronically. I wonder why there is a difference in the mixing here?
+Tristan Neal The music from both Aladdin and Beauty and The Beast was written by Alan Menken. You can definitely hear traces of his style in a lot of the other movies he's done
wanna know what's painful? having your crush play Gaston in the school musical...because its REALLY hard to hate the character when you love the song, and you love the actor playing him....
So for anyone who has played the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt...this song plays in my head when Geralt and the Bloody Baron are leading an assault on the Crones of Crookback Bog..anyone else have the same thought?

Blaine Shafer- Thank you for the part where you said that Maurice didn't say anything. However, that applies throughout the entire movie. Maurice never called or thought of his daughter as crazy. Daniel Heino- That character actually doesn't look too bad, and why must everything be associated with that being. Really b**** couldn't think of anything else? Can we just enjoy this masterpiece of a song and movie in peace without your poor analytical skills?
Well, technically, they did kill 'the Beast'. As in, their attack led to the curse being broken and the Beast form disappearing to make way for the Prince.
this movie was the first movie to recognize that the main character was breaking into song, being a horrible person, even admitting that they don't know anything about the beast but chose to follow the jerk because every last inch of him is covered in hair. Dudes not even attractive, he's like a mountain of steroids and strangeness. HE CANT EVEN READ
Hamilton fandom on current Broadway casts in nutshell Mob = the Fandom Gaston and Lefou = sjws Belle = a fan with common sense who loves and respects the hamilcasts Maurice = new fan of Hamilton Beast = Javier Munoz Mrs. Potts = Mandy Gonzalez Lumiere = Jevon Mcferrin Plumette/Babette/Fifi = Ashley Deslorieux Cogsworth = crew of the production of Hamilton Chip = A Broadway fan from other fandom Objects = other casts and ensemble members of Hamilton Town = Broadway fandom The castle = social media/ Richard Rogers Theater Log = rude/hate comments or posts
Only a lyricist like Howard Ashman would use a line from Shakespeare in the same song as a reference to a WWII fight song, and a line like '50 Frenchmen can't be wrong.'
Just remember that the real bad guy was never the beast or even Gaston, they are just victims caught up in this tale too. The real bad guy was the witch going around and cursing children to turn them into monsters. We shouldn't be shouting kill the beast, we should be shouting burn the witch.
No. Gaston is definately a villain. Nothing anyone else did can justify his character or his actions, since he wasn't a part of that story originally. His stupidity eventually led him there later in the movie. However, I do hate that witch quite a bit.
@@angelalemos9811 no your wrong absolutey wrong, Gaston is not evil, he wants to kill a monster makes sense but yes he shouldn't kill the beast because hes a human, so Gaston should kill the woman who made this child into a beast in the first place
"We don't like what we don't understand, in fact, it scares us." is the entire underlying premise of this movie.
Indeed, from their actions during this scene to their treatment of Belle.
Crazy politics and crazy people in a nutshells.
Usually extreme leftists.
Gaston in this song is every person when they find out their crush is going out with someone else.
omg yes!!! i totally experienced that
I laughed lauder than I should
That made me laugh for like 2 straight minutes
Bailskywalker ...91 people will accuse their crush's date of being a monster and will guide a mob to go murdering him/her? That's a very mature way of dealing with your emotions.
Simply understanding that you're not the right person for him/her and knowing that she/he is not the right person for you neither cause if you'd really love him/her you would let him/her to be happy, even if that happiness doesn't come from you is too mainstream I guess XD
I don't know about that, i mean Gaston aint exaxty a evil guy just because his crush is in love with a animal monster
Is nobody going to point out that an entire angry mob (EQUIPPED WITH *ACTUAL GUNS* ) was taken down by a bunch of flatware and dishes?
+Viktor the Creator It can be argued the fact they had the element of surprise is a reason why.
ilikethecokev2 Yeah but the mob had the element of guns which generally beats the element of surprise when you're fighting FUCKING KITCHENWARE.
Viktor the Creator
Well, you also need to factor in it's Disney. That kinda makes the fact they have guns a moot point.
ilikethecokev2 Bambi's mom was killed by a gun
If a gun can kill an actual, living creature it can kill a plate.
Viktor the Creator
A good point. For all we know some of the castle's inhabitants WERE killed, just off-screen.
"We don't like what we don't understand, in fact it scares us and this monster is mysterious at least" I love that line so much! So deep.
"Fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong" You sure about that?
+Iron Cat That's a reference to a song, "Fifty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong." Some good references in these lyrics. It's pretty brilliant.
+Noah C Hahahahahhaha. Best verse in the whole song!
I think they are going to run away
Angry Train Tell that to the British.
Angry mobs may not always make the most rational of arguments, but you have to admit that they can make some pretty convincing arguments.
Not ONCE do any of these people think “hey, this beast has been in that castle for... how long? And he’s never once bothered us before? Maybe we shouldn’t bother him?”
Rational thinking isn't often done by mobs
And besides, I don't think anyone knew about the Beast till then.
he sholdent bother hime becuese he doesent to nothing wrong
Cuz they're idiots with torches and pitchforks
they are french what did you think would happen
"We don't like what we don't understand. . ."
Lol, that line cracks me up.
+Brittany McCarty It's funny, but kinda scary just how true it is.
"We don't like what we don't understand," One of the most accurate true to life statements I have ever heard in a Disney movie,
and the reason why I like it so much.
Though what’s not true to life is just admitting it lol
'We don't like what we don't understand, in fact it scares us' Living beings throughout ages in a nutshell.
+Kadri Aalto You can say that again
+Kadri Aalto Most hatred for other humans has had to do more with Demographic threats rather than ignorance.
+Kadri Aalto That line and "They're not like you and me, which means they must be evil" from Savages (Pocahontas) are awesomely accurate.

They think they're right because there's more of theme.
The lesson here is not to blame the victim(the beast) but burn the witch that cursed him.

McCarthy should be proof of this notion.

Too bad.
Nothing's really the same anymore, the closest we've gotten is probably Frozen (which was really good).
Hello the live action beauty and the beast
yes they did you forgot encanto songs we dont talk adout burno
This song was pure excitement for me . I absolutely loved it .
i love how the towns folk just get beat up by furniture and silver where and other things XD
Same, I love watching that scene. God bless you reasonable person in the comments.
I disagree. Fifty Frenchmen can be very wrong. Very Wrong indeed.
"Fifty Frenchman can't be wrong!"
How the French revolution started.
Depends on the Frenchmen xD
Gaston was never good at math.
I love how Gaston doesn't really read books but yet he quoted Macbeth... "Screw your courage to the sticking place."
gaston's voice is amazing
The actor did a pretty good job.
Here's an oddity I noticed. On the soundtrack album version of this song, when Beast is speaking his lines, it sounds like Benson's natural voice, whereas in the finished film they obviously deepened it electronically. I wonder why there is a difference in the mixing here?
Making fun of Belle is bad enough for the villagers, but kill the Beast?! They have crossed the line!!!
this is one of my favorite songs xD
"The beast is going to MAKE OUT WITH YOUR CHILDREN!"
There needs to be a heavy metal version of this..
Challenge accepted
Jonathon young did that already
I was playing Skyrim while listening to this on my invasion of windhelm. So appropriate
Me: Gaston, you devil!
My school is doing the beauty and the beast play and i've started to love these songs
I had no idea what half of what they were saying was so I had to look it up here, much appreciated

Haha it quotes Macbeth "Screw your courage to the sticking place"
This song is so different after listening to a French, Spanish, and German collab of this song (yes I mean the Hetalia BTT video, it's awsome)
My school is singing this for our Spring performance this year, it's the whole Beauty and the Beast medley. I love this!
This song is extra sad and dark when you think of Howard Ashman's mentally when making the song.
Sang this in 4th grade for a class assignment thing. I sang lead. We sounded awesome!!!
Wait, your name is Kristy. The lead in this song, Gaston, is a male. This might have been confusing to some...
This is the best film ever
Beast:It doesn't matter. Just let them come.
Mikey: Oh look, he's doing his "Batman voice".

This song gives me goosebumps.
I know this is old, but the Disney font is so stylized that its difficult to read, thus making it hard to sing on sight
They didn't kill the beast, they sang the song for nothing. What a shame.
Well, technically, they did kill 'the Beast'. As in, their attack led to the curse being broken and the Beast form disappearing to make way for the Prince.
*"NEIN, NOT HANS. HE WAS HAVING SUCH A GOOD DAY! HE EVEN GOT TO BURN DOWN LONDON BRIDGE, SING THE SONG, EVERYTHING!"*
You'd think that if they were self aware enough to realize that, they'd have the decency not to turn into an angry mob. Maybe they just don't care.

SAVE THE BEAST!
i remember when i was in elementary school, the 4th grade chorus did this song
is.
"Set to sacrifice our children"
😨 geez lady.
this is the best song in the movie
I HATE Gaston, but this song is damn catchy.
I hate him as well, but I like/hate the ignorance and selfishness that the song portrays. Love that they included this in a Disney movie though.
Only a lyricist like Howard Ashman would use a line from Shakespeare in the same song as a reference to a WWII fight song, and a line like '50 Frenchmen can't be wrong.'
Believe it or not Macbeth brought me here! xD 1.7 Lady Macbeth, line 60: "Screw your courage to the sticking-place"
Anybody else notice how meta this song is?
"Fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong!" Youre right, the entire race is
Paranorman reminded me of this song exactly with its twist about Agatha.
Just remember that the real bad guy was never the beast or even Gaston, they are just victims caught up in this tale too. The real bad guy was the witch going around and cursing children to turn them into monsters. We shouldn't be shouting kill the beast, we should be shouting burn the witch.
No. Gaston is definately a villain. Nothing anyone else did can justify his character or his actions, since he wasn't a part of that story originally. His stupidity eventually led him there later in the movie. However, I do hate that witch quite a bit.
@@angelalemos9811 no your wrong absolutey wrong, Gaston is not evil, he wants to kill a monster makes sense but yes he shouldn't kill the beast because hes a human, so Gaston should kill the woman who made this child into a beast in the first place
Yes man i agree, that's what i be saying, Gaston and beast are not villians there victims caught up in this mess made by that evil wicked witch
ok i love you and i love this
but would it kill you to put the songs in order in the playlists?
