It is from the 1981 movie 'Southern Comfort' with Keith Carradine as one of the main characters.
NO SPAMMERS
This music stuck with me ever since I first saw the movie. These musicians are legends, esp. Dewey Balfa and Marc Savoy(the guy tearing up that accordion). I love the growl of that accordion!
destructo68 Marc Savoy got a music store in Eunice, La
Very good movie, I'm glad I found this scene here...
The movie isn't too far off from the real thing. My family is Cajun. Big barbecues (50 gallon drum made into a barbecue pit), crawfish boils, pig roasts and lots of beer. And either there was a radio tuned to a cajun music station or someone was playing an accordion and singing in French.
fantastic movie!! it always confused me as to why lots of people think the cajuns are the bad guys for retalliating after being shot at with a machine gun after their boats had been stolen!!reese also shouts abuse at them!! i must've watched it atleast 30 times over the years&never realised how much predator had ripped it off!.
Love this movie and this song
Classic scene ,am i the only person that loves the music😊
Brian Morton I love it too
Brian Morton just today found out the name of the first song they played and have been listening to it for hours
Szo
I'm with ya
no
The great Dewey Balfa on fiddle and singing. I love re-discovering songs I used to like.
We supposed to say thanks?
You ain't supposed to say nuttin, soldier.
21 thumbs down should relax, these are the good Cajuns.
I think this is the Balfa Brothers - yes?
Allons Danser! - Come on let's dance.
This is one of my all time favorite movies.
Brilliant finale to movie a false sense of security that was so convincing by these brilliant actors .
Love this film…scared the hell out of me as a kid watching it on cable…watching again in my 50s…still scares me! 😉
That one badass Cajun is played by Sonny Landham. He was also in Walter Hills' 48 hours as Billy Bear. He's running for governor or something in Kentucky this year I think.
i watched this when i was 14&was blown away by it!! it introduced me to cajun music!!! it doesnt get any better than dewey balfa!! all these years on& its one of my all time faves!! ive heard so many people over the years who didnt like it! each to their own!! its good to see so much love for it here!! i want a cleaned up dvd with 5.1 surround of it!! it would add so much more to the already awesome atmosphere!!
Loved this movie . I wanna see it again . I got a million relatives that are cajuns..I'm a landry
Kept pressing the rewind button just to keep listening to this totally awesome music!
My Family is cajun and white creole from bayou Teche,I grew up not speaking english and listening to family bands singing in cajun/creole at sawmill dances. Best food,great music,though I hated sunday school. My sisters would sneak me out through a window to go swimming in a swimming hole
wow this movie brings back memories, my mom and dad were from Louisiana, rip Jerry squyres
Feltum, to answer your question about whether these communities exist in the United States, they do. I've studied about Cajun culture in Louisiana and if you go to towns like Mamou,Church Point,Breaux Bridge,Thibodaux,Morgan City etc.. and also back in the rural unincorporated areas you'll find gatherings like this with food,music and dance. Ah, the simple pleasures of life!
Man- the translated lyrics to this song are friggin hysterical- LET'S TALK OF DRINKING, NOT OF MARRIAGE, ALWAYS REGRETTING THOSE PRETTY DAYS GONE BY! ....Cajun music rocks!
Cajuns know how to party as well or better than us Irish,and the music, DAMN.
The Balfa Brothers - Parlez Nous a Boire
Thanks!! I've been looking for this song for years, always knew it only as 'the southern comfort song'! :)
Classic Walter Hill and Ry Cooder combination.
This is the end of the film where the characters of Powers Booth and David Carradine have a showdown with the cajuns that killed their platoon in the Louisina bayou.
I loved this movie back in the day...what made me look at it again was I just saw an episode of Night Rider who, in a cajun scene, used the same music...
I remember watching this movie when I was kinda young..I'm almost 23 now and I researched this movie and it read 1981 was when it came out and I realized this movie came out a year before my mom was born.
Love this music.
This is Cajun music and this is how you sing it, show some respect for the great Dewey Balfa.
No
love this movie and the music is badass
this is a great film!! loved when it first released and now got ot on DVD...
man that is great music and i love it. goog music from the good old times
R.I.P. Powers Boothe
"... Soldier: Do you mind tellin' us what the hell this is all about? Cajun: It real simple... we live back in here... dis is our home, and nobody don't fuck with us..."
no smart phones, no wifi, no Internet and no gps. back then it was beyond stupid to go somewhere you didn't belong and piss people off.
Love this song and Dewey Balfa. The guy on the triangle is tearing it up! Look at that dance floor bounce!
It went from eight hanging rabbits,to seven bear traps. At the end of the film there was two pigs got shot....was that an intentional part of the story line i often wondered? Amazing film and intense at times !!
I have been watching this since it first hit the theaters, I Lived in LA LA for a while and have been invited to Crawdad cookouts on the Bayou, this is exactly what it's like. Good people out there.
I love this movie, and the Cajuns, I route for them in it. My family is Irish but my dad went down to Louisiana and went to Mass and everything with the Cajuns in the Euchafalia Swamp.
AWESOME MUSIC- great movie and great musicians
A stomping good time. Seeing the floor bounce like that tickles me.
Yup, they exist in many rural areas of America, but definately in Louisiana, though it is more Americanized all the time. The gatherings are still there, in fact we are doing a pig butchering (boucherie) this weekend, with music.
I whistle this song at least once a week.
one of the best movies of the 80s
best part of the movie! siiiick!
10x uploader.
it beats deliverance every day!
love it.
To all those asking about the music
This is a brill version of a cajun song Parlez Nois a Boires. sung by Cajun legend Dewey Balfa. He's the one singing and playing fiddle
Check out the amazing Fiddletunes by Dewey Balfa. WOW!
This haunting film with it's excellent soundtrack has long been one of my all-time favorites... and with not a single drop of Cajun blood, have always been inexplicably-appreciative of 'Parlez-nous a boire' by The Balfa Brothers. heh.
Thanks much for posting this, selsilem!
The first American (a liaison officer) killed in Vietnam spoke French at an illegal roadblock and got shot for it. The brothers assumed he was French.
I love the whole movie also and the music is somehow an 'unique' too
Definitely one of Walter Hills best. Like The Warriors, a tale of being lost in dangerous country and getting the fuck out. The Cajun music was fucking genius.
I love this music! I liked the movie too. It was an underrated movie. Wish somebody would show the whole movie. I liked the guns that the good ole boys had. I remember that the 1 arm fellow that the crazy soldier captured had a Winchester M86 in caliber .45-70, & the other good ole boys had Remington Rolling-blocks & Springfield M73 rifles, all in .45-70 caliber. I like the .45-70 a whole lot better than the 5.56 NATO. Wonder what they used to dispatch the big ole hog? Wonderful music, dancing, & eating! & DIXIE beer too! That's a good party!
whole movie is on RUclips
This is the greatest scene of the movie- Those guys surviving the fight with the cajuns and then just accidentially entering that celebration without knowing wether they are safe or in danger watching how they kill the pig and prepare for meal.
You don't mess with the Cajuns !!!
The best movie I ever saw. Watched it many times and you really feel the tension when they are in that small village. You really can't trust nobody...and I feel the fear of beiing killed by these Cajuns. Not much Bullshit in this film, but it is how it is!
As much as I dig this song, it kinda creeps me out, thanks to watching the movie throughout most of my teens and adult life. Still love it. Walter Hill - genius.
What lovely music. Balfa is wonderful!
loved this music 1st time i heard it 30 yrs ago , still do
I love this music - there are so many influences in it ... they are melting to something new
Restless84, they're both French dialects, one got standardized and taught, the other came to America in a time capsule. One can communicate with the other with a little difficulty.
Great movie, great music !!
musique joyeuse et dansante de plus en plus entrainante, et pourtant le danger est de plus en plus présent, grande scéne et grand film !!
Same here...I was in university and my caribbean roomates couldn't believe I would replay it over and over. Thanks for posting man. Cajuns are transplanted Acadians from Nova Scotia that were kicked out rather than follow the british way of life after 'we' lost the french-english war.
respect gets respect..........disrespect gets your ass waxed!.............GREAT movie / acting and music!
"These are the good Cajuns"
@585759
I swear, Francis Ford Coppola put you guys on the map. I never heard of the Cajuns before this. That subtle blend of attraction and menace was perfect. My brother and I rehearsed the culminating scene numerous times.
Great music! This is one of those songs that still gets stuck in my head now and then.
@usaruss I think I've seen it about 8 times. I watch it to hear the music. It is a masterpiece to Ry Cooder's skill. He did an incredible soundtrack. I don't watch many R movies even, but think I could watch anything with his music in it. Good movie.
Fantastic flick. Walter Hill at his best along with 'The Warriors.'
Great fucking movie! Watched this ever since I was 7 with my grandpa lol I grew up with these cool old Walter Hill movies
Fantastic music!!!
I was the only Cajun in my unit stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana …
2/21 Field Artillery 5th Infantry Division 85-87…
just spreading the word that SOUTHERN COMFORT is set to be released on bluray july 8th!!!
Love that music! Thank you so much!
You mean YOU don't, but a lot of us do. And listen to this music, and speak French, and speak English with a thick accent.
ich liebe diese musik - da schwingen soviele einflüsse mit .... ich glaube sogar indianisches mit zu hören ...
"... S: Do you mind tellin' us what the Hell this is all about? C: Its real simple... we live back in here... dis is our home... and nobody don't fuck with us..."
try to stop tapping your feet to this --never!!!
Thanks to this comment from 23setexas: "Tune is "Parlez nouz au' boire" (Lets talk about drinking). Song advising boy the dangers of marrying different types of females. Rich, poor, pretty,or ugly they all cause problems according to song)". again Thanks 23setexas
There was this vehicle of a song back in the 80's to this tune. Chorus: Whats the color of money?, whats the color of money? Don't tell me that you think it's green, to me it's always red.
I prefer this one :-D
Great movie, great characters, great music.... awful dancing
It it makes you feel better, the movie is probably supposed to be about the Vietnam war in a veiled manner. The use of Acadians was a device to have draft dodgers suddenly in Vietnam without leaving the U.S.
My Family is cajun and white creole from bayou Teche,I grew up not speaking english and I grew up listening to family bands singing in cajun/creole at sawmill dances. Best food,great music,though I hated sunday school. My sisters would sneak me out through a window to go swimming in a swimming hole,this after growing up in NYC originally
MrChrisrage I’m a white Creole from greater New Orleans. We have the best cultures in Louisiana!
Yep this is a great movie, when i first Southern Comfort it formed the first impression of what service in the National Guard is like...turns out it`s nothing like the movies haha
In Lafayette, we call this music, Hanky Chank! Sorta like a Cajun Country Western.
@takman17 Your so right.Cajun music is beautiful and i could listen to Dewey Balfa all day.
Just love this music was watching the film then when I heard the music just had to lusten over and over ,, my wife thinks im nuts , but just sometimes a tune will get you goin,, if youve had it happen youl know what I mean bril film aswell....
+Waynegarside Garside same here bro--when this movie came out yrs back this song jus friggn hit me
Man that is livin !!
Big similiarity with traditional Irish music. Historic reasons.
@pinz2022 Keep in mind the only thing Cajun on this movie are the musicians. The party is somewhat over done, but plausible. The rest of the movie is just that, for entertainment purposes only.
Bryan Lafleur They were trying to recreate a Cajun boucherie, but they should have used actual cajuns from South Louisiana that partake in a real boucherie. You’d think the Savoys or Dewey Balfa would have gave them input....
I bought one on e-bay. Great movie.
At least 2000 of those views are mine. It's all about the music! ,what movie? lol...that Cajun Triangle {tee fer} Rocks big time! ...
absolutely

love this movie. Powers Boothe is a bad ass.
Dixie Beer!
@Werebat It wasn't only the English that were behind our exile; the English colonists from New England -- the same people who later formed the US government, took over Louisiana, and tried to destroy our culture and language -- also actively participated in and profited from the Grand Dérangement.
@NewHomeMovies Definitely!!!
Great movie, song and message. This is the UNITED STATES. NOT a separatist niche. R.I.P. Powers Boothe.
@ArcticHellfire Yesit is....Parlez nous a boire.....
