Mailyn Mulvey is my Godmother! What a beautiful performance. I remember back in the days when she spent time with my parents. They were opera performers as well! Just incredible!
The true genius of Borge was his ability to comedically improvise the songs. Most pianists struggle to memorize the amount of songs he has let along posses the ability to not only play them on demand, but backwards, off key, and seemingly randomly mixed with other pieces, on demand. Truly brilliant.
There was no one like Victor then, and there hasn't been anyone since. He was a comedy genius (unlike anyone else) who was able to combine that talent with his ability to play the piano like a maestro. R.I.P. Victor 🤗 🎼 🎶 xxx
The best part about this is, even though this is Borge's show, and he keeps making her laugh, he never once upstages her in this piece. It's all a bit of fun but he still lets Mulvey shine.
A number of times she lost it. That was until she got used to it, and then was able to maintain her composure. She nearly looses it in this vid, and one I have of them on DVD, she did lose it!! One performance my parents saw them at they had to stop the performance for 20 minutes because she had totally lost it.
Although he played “jokingly” ...... the sound of the piano he produced is very beautiful... his touch so incredible ... Always love the late Victor Borge’s music .... and his jokes 👍
My parents were instrumental in introducing Marilyn to Victor. My folks were good friends with George Weigl, Victor's retired Orchestral Director. Marilyn's parents contacted my folks to see if they could arrange a meeting, and all that resulted in all of them sitting down at a dinner. Victor was impressed, agreed to an audition, and the rest is history. He was looking for a talented musician who also had a sense of humor, who could play ""straight man" to Victor's comedy.
Marilyn Mulvey had the voice of an Angel - fantastic ❤! The combination of this great female Opera Singer with Victor Borge was perfect and a great pleasure to every audience ❤❤
This is why Victor Borge's comedy worked so well! Besides his comedic efforts he was a world-class pianist which only strengthens the comedy! No one would ever expect comedy associated with such graceful music! His act was truly one-of-a-kind!
Wow she has a phenomenal voice! What discipline and range! Victor as usual is hilarious and added so much entertainment. You can definitely see his talent as a pianist the way he masters those ivories!
We’ve lost it. We’ll probably never see this kind of gentle, intelligent humour again. Just two highly accomplished musicians messing around. No vanity and what’s more, no identity politics and no attempt to re-educate us. Stunning performance and funny too.
It's just going through phases. Before the time of intelligent, gentle humor there was rather nasty, cruel humor... intelligent humor will one day return.
He was a master, master pianist, performer, comedian, all of the above and in of the nth degree, and Mulvey, she was lovely, great range, classic operatic voice, oh yeah, she was ideal with him, wonderful chemistry and timing. It really is fun to watch them and appreciate their flawless talent!
Borge brought classical to us deplorables by making fun of the more stodgy parts. As I've matured and come to realize that the Immortals rocked, I can imagine Them, jamming and hamming like this back in Their day!
I like really this Mans talent.. Great pianist great comedian. I only discovered him last night on one of those shorts while scrolling..Now I'm hooked...😊😂
You can be in awe with a great pianist, violinist, cellist or any other musician, but when you listen what the human body can do, in this case the voice, the amazement is multiply ten times.
R.I.P to both of them. WHat a great performance they did and they left us with this incredible performance. VICTOR BORGE of course was the brain behind this hilarious skit. He told Mariyln what to do and when to do what etc.
Such a shame I wasn't born earlier to have enjoyed more of his live performances. I was only able to attend one of his live performances and it was the best live musical performance I have ever attended.
Fantastic professionalism. The ability to for these two consummate musicians to interact in a jovial play while performing sophisticated music demonstrates their competence, personality and good heartedness. It was a joy to find this on RUclips and see how many others also love the experience thank you.
Never get tired of Borge! Able to add comedy to his amazing classical music is amazing! You get the best of both worlds! Great music, excellent performance, entertainment!
Man I'm imagining this guy would've been a Monster pianist if he was completely a musician only. Yet, he's legendary thanks to combining music with comedy!! And hats off to the singer who has a honey-sweet voice alongwith the composure to maintain it in the hilarious conditions
It was always a good time watching Victor Borge perform. A lot of the time singers performing with him did not know that he was going to these things while they sang.
I am so very thankful for these videos so we can continue to watch, enjoy, laugh at, and be in awe of Victor Borge, long after he has been gone. I introduced my son to his talent and humor when my son was in elementary school. He is 28 years old today, and he still loves Victor Borge. We used to watch him together and laugh and laugh. What an amazing and talented man.
Ms. Mulvey, spectacular! It also demonstrates the respect that artists of her caliber had for Mr. Borge that they would perform with him such demanding works. When I was in high school my mother (Northwestern Univ. honors music education and piano major), designed a comic solo piano routine with me to perform in an annual school fund raiser. Fun!
Wonderful! This is a perfect example that comedy need not be filthy to be funny. Victor was such a fantastic musician and comic. Marilyn was amazing and beautiful.
I never willingly missed Victor Borge on TV. People often overuse the word great, thus regulating it to the average person whose done well. Victor wasn't average. He was actually great.
O L D SKOOL TALENT! USED TO WATCH HIM ON THE TUBE WHEN I WAS A KID ON THE WEEKEND, AND HE KNOCKED ME OUT WITH HIS TALENT, THEN!!! THIS VOICE WAS'T HAD EITHER! THANKS FOR SHARING IT.
the movement of the finger, how powerful and technique his fingers are!!! It's like music and creativeness come from his dancing finger!!!Unique talent! My hero!!!
I saw Mr Borge LIVE more than once. Great pianist and good clean humor. Columbia,Ohio Veterans Memorial Auditorium, it's gone now too 😮🎉 Lovely evening of entertainment that was a Dress Up event ❤🎉
Ils sont absolument doués, fantastic, remarquables , bourrés de talent. Cest, beau, hilaran, tout en même temps. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The great Victor 'B' and one of his classic performances with Marilyn, although I personally think the "hands off" version is even funnier ...... R.I.P Victor xxx
I have several DVDs of Victor Borge's work and I love the man and his talent. This clip, though, I've never seen and I missed quite a bit of it because I was laughing so hard I was crying.
Mailyn Mulvey is my Godmother! What a beautiful performance. I remember back in the days when she spent time with my parents. They were opera performers as well! Just incredible!
amazing indeed!
@📺Jutub TV📺
Yes. Your parents.
What a beautiful woman and voice. You are lucky girl.
Absolut genial...
WOW !! God !
The true genius of Borge was his ability to comedically improvise the songs. Most pianists struggle to memorize the amount of songs he has let along posses the ability to not only play them on demand, but backwards, off key, and seemingly randomly mixed with other pieces, on demand. Truly brilliant.
Singer ‘s voice is beautiful and she handles him humoring her performance nicely too. Nothing lessens her beauty.
21+ years later...STILL, THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT BY TWO WORLD-CLASS ENTERNAINERS!.
35+, at least. He had grey hair in the 90s. But yes, world class. A++++, will always watch again.
When entertainment had class, simplicity, beauty, likeability. I miss this very much.
I have been a fan for many many years - this is still wonderful and thrilling in 2024. Thank you.
There was no one like Victor then, and there hasn't been anyone since. He was a comedy genius (unlike anyone else) who was able to combine that talent with his ability to play the piano like a maestro.
R.I.P. Victor 🤗 🎼 🎶 xxx
Bill Bailey
**THANK GOD** that VB was one-of-a-kind. (So was the Elephant Man.) See above **SICKENING** note...
He was and he always will be wonderful forever....so talent ....incredible and IRREPETIBLE !!!
Don't really go for Opera. Except when Victor is playing.❤️
@@Sammysan123
Different kind of comedian
She was such an amazing sport to do this with him. What a voice!
Incredible composure to sing as beautifully as she did with out fully falling apart with laughter. Amazing to watch .
That is the reason why she could not look at him. There are many times you could see her tyting to control her laughter when she looked at him.
The best part about this is, even though this is Borge's show, and he keeps making her laugh, he never once upstages her in this piece. It's all a bit of fun but he still lets Mulvey shine.
the dog didnt show up on the first song? thats a surprise! lol
She’s a fantastic singer maintaining her composure despite Borge’s antics.
I think they ask her to sing a song and said. By the way,Victor Borge is the pianist, good luck
They have probably performed this act hundreds of times :)
@@stevegoehring1610 r
How do you NOT laugh? They must have done this in advance so she knew what was coming.
A number of times she lost it. That was until she got used to it, and then was able to maintain her composure. She nearly looses it in this vid, and one I have of them on DVD, she did lose it!! One performance my parents saw them at they had to stop the performance for 20 minutes because she had totally lost it.
A beautiful, gracious woman with a breathtaking voice................with Victor Borge...........brilliant in his own right! Thank you for posting.
Although he played “jokingly” ...... the sound of the piano he produced is very beautiful... his touch so incredible ... Always love the late Victor Borge’s music .... and his jokes 👍
You right!!
Not many mucians have that kind of touch🤗
So agree...🥰
Both are fantastic
In 2023 this is still great entertainment.
My parents were instrumental in introducing Marilyn to Victor. My folks were good friends with George Weigl, Victor's retired Orchestral Director.

Had anyone noticed how did he play the right notes to help her continue singing? Wonderful man with high manners
"i beg to differ..."
I did. A very talented man.
Fabulous
Marilyn has an unbelievable voice and Victor on the piano has an absolutely fantastic touch
I crack up every time I see Mr. Borge. This soprano has a lovely voice and is being such a good sport.
We’ve lost it. We’ll probably never see this kind of gentle, intelligent humour again. Just two highly accomplished musicians messing around. No vanity and what’s more, no identity politics and no attempt to re-educate us. Stunning performance and funny too.
Hear, hear!
❤❤❤
Nothing to add, well said! Wokesters destroy everything beautiful.
It's just going through phases. Before the time of intelligent, gentle humor there was rather nasty, cruel humor... intelligent humor will one day return.
❤❤❤❤

And after that, she could have performed under any conditions you could imagine.

*STINK, STANK, STUNK!!* See above "Sickening" note...
Such poise, such class and such talent .." they'll never come no more..."
I like really this Mans talent.. Great pianist great comedian. I only discovered him last night on one of those shorts while scrolling..Now I'm hooked...😊😂
Two incredibly talented artists together on one stage. They just don’t make them like this anymore.
You can be in awe with a great pianist, violinist, cellist or any other musician, but when you listen what the human body can do, in this case the voice, the amazement is multiply ten times.
God is Good!!!
TheMoonchild1969 have to agree with you, very pure voice and awesome control! Sigh.
Bravo. Unsurpassed talent and fun. If the world sat for a performance like this once a month, it would be impossible not to be a better place.
There will never be another Victor he was an amazing artist.
@DothFrmBBL what the bible is a fiction novel
I've seen this in different settings a few times now & get a laugh each time! He's cheeky & she can sing very high, wow!!
I always smile when I see this, too! 😀🙋♀️🇦🇺
Always makes me laugh, but what a beautiful voice Marilyn Mulvey has.
R.I.P to both of them. WHat a great performance they did and they left us with this incredible performance. VICTOR BORGE of course was the brain behind this hilarious skit. He told Mariyln what to do and when to do what etc.

Exceptionnelle performance! Merci beaucoup.
What’s also amazing is how aware he is of every piece he plays. astounding mind
How things used to be .Not like it is today.Life was good and kind miss those times very much 🎉.
What's more amazing is not only the jokes but that he can actually play so musically and so beautifully when he wants to!
It was a great loss when Borge died.
Absolutely stunning, beautiful voice 👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️🥇🥇
Such a Comical - Beautiful performance , by both . 👌🏾

Wonderful Soprano!!
Talent like Victor's comes along once in a lifetime. He can never be replaced.
Unfortunately, you're right.
Al Campbell is
Betty Carson what are you trying to express here
Try Lord Vienhierto
Fortunately your right which is why they become legends.
Never get tired of Borge! Able to add comedy to his amazing classical music is amazing! You get the best of both worlds! Great music, excellent performance, entertainment!
Lovely and professional singer !
Never distracted by Sir Borge's genius and comic accompaniment.
Brilliant! Beautifully sung and cleverly and humorously played.
Красивый голос, браво. И с юмором всё в порядке
WOW! Two great talents . . . doing obviously what they did the best, but with a laugh -- what medicine for the soul.
This lady is very generously providing her excellent and precious soprano for this nice joke.
What a great performance...Victor Borge the best funny piano player ever!!!
And Mailey Muvey...best voice ever
The greatest Danish comedian, and he could play piano as well, i always lol when they show he performs on TV Rip Mr Borge
Yes. Victor Borge and Dirch Passer was the greatest in Denmark, ever. There will never be anyone as brilliant as them.
Какой великолепный голос. Какое великолепное исполнение.
Man I'm imagining this guy would've been a Monster pianist if he was completely a musician only. Yet, he's legendary thanks to combining music with comedy!!
And hats off to the singer who has a honey-sweet voice alongwith the composure to maintain it in the hilarious conditions

What an act! Priceless! Amazing performance by two Masters.
Ms. Mulvey, spectacular!

When I was in high school my mother (Northwestern Univ. honors music education and piano major), designed a comic solo piano routine with me to perform in an annual school fund raiser. Fun!
So love this. Both of them. Victor was my dads my dads favourite. Belly laughing with tears rolling down his cheeks.
What a gorgeous voice.
Omg I love him so much.....
I kick myself for not going to see him live....
Genius MASTER of humor and piano
Love Victor Borge ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵
Both are fantastic
Wonderful! This is a perfect example that comedy need not be filthy to be funny. Victor was such a fantastic musician and comic. Marilyn was amazing and beautiful.
I never willingly missed Victor Borge on TV. People often overuse the word great, thus regulating it to the average person whose done well. Victor wasn't average. He was actually great.
RIP Mr. Borge. Thanks for all your laughs and amazing piano playing. By the way. The opera singer was pretty spectacular as well.
My dearly departed mom used to love seeing Victor Borges act by way of PBS back in the 1970s
O L D SKOOL TALENT! USED TO WATCH HIM ON THE TUBE WHEN I WAS A KID ON THE WEEKEND, AND HE KNOCKED ME OUT WITH HIS TALENT, THEN!!! THIS VOICE WAS'T HAD EITHER! THANKS FOR SHARING IT.
Michael Doster
My pleasure,dear Michael 😀
I remember watching him as a child and looked forward to every note and piece of skullduggery he pulled. Maestro.
He was hilarious and she was a good sport, and both were so talented and worked long hours to develop their talents.
What a beautiful soprano voice 🤩
I think so too
😃 Ah! The "Great Dane," himself! I had the good fortune to see this pair together, in Chicago. It was a wonderful show. He was such a cut-up! 😆
Such an amazing voice and talent. And such a really good sport to do with with VB.
What a fabulous duo they were! Thanks for sharing this!
she's amazing....and we know how good victor was
Wow, what a singer, they are perfect together, she's wonderful. he was a freakin' genius.
the movement of the finger, how powerful and technique his fingers are!!! It's like music and creativeness come from his dancing finger!!!Unique talent! My hero!!!
Damm! Dude was a genius. A true beast! I loved watching him when I was a kid on PBS.
Somebody finally found this wonderful man
Amazing singing there Marilyn, really perfect high notes.
Que voz más bella que don maravilloso !!
Watched him on TV when a kid. Probably why I started out as a music major and played piano.
Stunning talents and professionalism from both - a human joy to indulge!
Arguably the single most underrated funny man in the history of all entertainment!
I saw Mr Borge LIVE more than once. Great pianist and good clean humor. Columbia,Ohio Veterans Memorial Auditorium, it's gone now too 😮🎉 Lovely evening of entertainment that was a Dress Up event ❤🎉
She is such good fun & took part in his antics with good humour & aplum.
what a beautiful performance of the 2 !
Ils sont absolument doués, fantastic, remarquables , bourrés de talent. Cest, beau, hilaran, tout en même temps. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

How nice singing, playing the piano, a good constructed idea, a wonderful performance! Thanks!
The great Victor 'B' and one of his classic performances with Marilyn, although I personally think the "hands off" version is even funnier ...... R.I.P Victor xxx
Senza parole ...🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦🎅🎅🎅🤦🤦🤦🤦🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Saw Victor Borge in concert twice. Once in Denmark and in Danish and once in the states in English. Incredible.
A bonafide classic!!! Memorable and irreplaceable. 🔥🤩🔥
She doesn't lay her hand upon the piano this time. Lovely!!!
He was a legendary pianist that I ever seen in my whole life
I only have just discovered this guy (and guyess).
Great singer,magnificent.
She has such a beautiful voice. Would have loved to see her in a live Performance!!
I have several DVDs of Victor Borge's work and I love the man and his talent. This clip, though, I've never seen and I missed quite a bit of it because I was laughing so hard I was crying.
