"Nature Boy" There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far Very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return" "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return"
I have always been captivated by the haunting melody of 'Nature Boy' and entranced by the theme music of 'Mad Men' and this combination of the two absolutely gives me chills every time I watch this video. A definite thumbs up.
I was watching Sunday morning reruns of Mad Men on AMC and wanted to hear the full, uncut version of that theme song. In searching for in on RUclips I happened upon this gem and, my God, what a find it was. Bravo to each and every performer in front of the camera and to those behind the scenes; this is something so very special indeed.
The sound is incredible. Beautifully shot, played and produced. Thanks for the notes about no cuts, dubbing, lip-syncing or auto-tuning. This is a really nice marriage of the two songs.
Awesome mix of mad men theme song and Nat Cole's nature boy. And Allison Williams singing, who is beyond beautiful, makes the music video truly amazing. Well done!
This is absolute genius!! What a great combination and very creative. It is wonderful to see young musicians playing the best type of music ever created, but unfortunately is dying out every day!
It was done in one take which is very impressive. It wasn't dubbed. It's more like a live performance. Ms. Williams when to Yale to become a singer. Bright and talented. Brian Williams must be very proud. He should be.
I've never watched Girls, but I'm binge-watching Mad Men, and this video is simply perfect! Love the lyrics, love the instruments, love the arrangement, and I especially love the girl! Until now I had no idea who Allison Williams is, but I will most definitely look for more :-)
She is fantastic playing Peter Pan in Peter Pan Live!, and in Girls she is brilliant but her character is a dick, a diva and a drama queen. The whole show is a commentary on the selfishness of young 20 somethings and how it takes time to grow up. It's a great show filled with terrible characters like Seinfeld, Sex in the City and Curb Your Enthusiasm. They're funny but they're not good people.
Man i just stumbled upon this video and for the past hour ive been repeating this song over and over again!!! Good Job guys. Now post more content!!!!!
It's a superb mash-up of some great musical works, executed flawlessly. But I return to it every few months or so for Ms. Williams smile at 1:35. Kinda feel like she's smiling at me.
This is my NEW favorite song, I love how this young lady sings and the band is outstanding! WTG Allison and I hope you continue in this genre, very fitting!
I love the way she works the camera, so polished, and her timing is great. Sweet voice. If she was a corporation I'd buy a ton of stock! She is going to blow-up very soon as a result of this video. Well done! I like her dad too!!
Wow! Allison's sounds and looks so beautiful I could happily watch her sing all day. I hope to hear much more from her soon. Maybe some more creative covers like this one.
Okay, what's next, America's Got Talent? Mr. Williams, you're daughter is terrific!! I'll watch the evening news more closely to see if that father's pride swells the cranium. Somebody call Simon Cowell, this lady needs to be signed!!! Outstanding!!
In a scene from one of the final episodes, I wouldn't mind seeing Don drinking alone in a bar. At center stage, is a live act: Allison and her band performing this rendition of Nature Boy/A Beautiful Mine, while Don tears up, realizing that the lyrics are telling him the story of his life.
Or maybe in a '90s continuation having Allison Williams play Sally when at the beginning of 1990 she's about to turn 36 and is in the exact same position at Sterling, Draper and Partners her dad was at Sterling-Cooper 30 years earlier, winding up following in her dad's footsteps after getting an offer she truly could not turn down to be a Founding Partner of the new SDP while still in college in late 1973.
very classy, very nice camera work. I saw this was done in one take. Really, wow! Good luck. do more. Wish you the best Ms. Williams ! Your dad rocks too.
She knocked it out of the park and the musicians did too!! Great contact with the camera as well!! Allison has a GREAT career ahead of her. Why the hell is she not on GLEE??? HULLOOOO!!!
This is awesome and, on a completely unrelated note, thank you for crediting everyone down to the PA's on the description. You rarely get that nowadays.
Hey, incredible job everyone. You should all be proud. I have to say that I have never seen a like/dislike ratio like this on RUclips. This is excellent.
This is so cool -- really crosses generational and interest lines. It's the kind of thing someone would have done once upon a time on the Ed Sullivan Show, when the whole family would get to share it together.
LMAO!! Perfect statement! As I scanned through the comments and read yours, I did the classic double-take, paused, (and I swear I'm not making this up...) asked myself outloud, "Why does that statement make sense to me...?" Luckily I didn't lose too many brain cells as it came to me right away having just watched that ep. of Girls two nights ago.
Allison Williams singing and just before her role in "get out"where she was trying to take the cranium off of Daniel K. Who is now an Academy award winner and golden globe recipient, yougo brother
The "who sampled and mixed with who" chain is pretty thick here apparently. First, the instrumental of A Beautiful Mine isn't really a "version" of Aceyalone's song. Aceyalone collaborated with RJD2 on that album, and RJD2 merely put the instrumental portion on his own album. A Beautiful Mine samples an Enoch Light song called Autumn Leaves. It's the same violin part that's used in this song. I didn't know that until recently.
Did Don sign off on this?
"You know I can't give you the keys, Babe."😎
Not really
Roger nixed it.
It’s Peggy’s ruling now
Yes peter
She is SO talented! Not only is she beautiful, she has a fabulous voice and connects with the camera so well.
"Nature Boy"
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
Thanks for posting this lyrics.
I have always been captivated by the haunting melody of 'Nature Boy' and entranced by the theme music of 'Mad Men' and this combination of the two absolutely gives me chills every time I watch this video. A definite thumbs up.
Allison is Brian Williams daughter. She's in the HBO show 'Girls'. She's talented and should
have a singing career too! Great rendition of the song!
She's doing pretty great now!
13 years and still beats me hard this song, i hope one day listen this on spotify

I can't even express the awesomeness that is this tune...
The sound is incredible. Beautifully shot, played and produced.
Thanks for the notes about no cuts, dubbing, lip-syncing or auto-tuning.
This is a really nice marriage of the two songs.
A great mash up of Nature Boy and the Mad Men theme ! Absolutely fantastic
This is awesome. I love Allison Williams. I think she's so talented and beautiful.
Spectacular
When you only have 20 likes in 10 yrs, but you're verified channel 🙄
I feel like I should be hearing applause when this video ends, it's just so fantastic. You all did an excellent job.
Awesome mix of mad men theme song and Nat Cole's nature boy.
And Allison Williams singing, who is beyond beautiful, makes the music video truly amazing. Well done!
This has been on repeat for half an hour now. Can't get enough of it !
Fantastic. Miss Williams is beautiful and talented, and the mashup was flawlessly executed by all the musicians. I want an MP3 of this performance.
This is absolute genius!! What a great combination and very creative. It is wonderful to see young musicians playing the best type of music ever created, but unfortunately is dying out every day!
I can't "like" this enough. I could spend the day listening to this, I wish I could.
I am disappointed that this is the only video on this channel. They seem very talented & the vocalist nailed it.
I just so can't even. That was so beautiful!
allison is shining like sun with the perfect, aristic music. bravo jay wadley.
It was done in one take which is very impressive. It wasn't dubbed. It's more like a live performance.
Ms. Williams when to Yale to become a singer. Bright and talented. Brian Williams must be very proud. He should be.
Addicted to this..playing it for the 10th time in a row
I see that the ability to express ideas through words runs through the families. Brilliant.
Wow!!! F'n wow!!! I love it. I want more.
I've never watched Girls, but I'm binge-watching Mad Men, and this video is simply perfect! Love the lyrics, love the instruments, love the arrangement, and I especially love the girl! Until now I had no idea who Allison Williams is, but I will most definitely look for more :-)

Man Men is infinitely better
That smile at 1:34 gets me every time.
This is awesome. Great singing voice! Allison could definitely be the singing voice of a Disney voice.
Man i just stumbled upon this video and for the past hour ive been repeating this song over and over again!!! Good Job guys. Now post more content!!!!!
so I've watched this video a hundred or so times, and I have to say its her smile that really make this video so special.
It's a superb mash-up of some great musical works, executed flawlessly. But I return to it every few months or so for Ms. Williams smile at 1:35. Kinda feel like she's smiling at me.
Artistic, fascinating, entertaining, skillfully performed - what a find on the web of waste! MORE!
This is my NEW favorite song, I love how this young lady sings and the band is outstanding! WTG Allison and I hope you continue in this genre, very fitting!
The coolest thing I've seen all day.
I love the way she works the camera, so polished, and her timing is great. Sweet voice. If she was a corporation I'd buy a ton of stock! She is going to blow-up very soon as a result of this video. Well done! I like her dad too!!
I'd watched this fifty times over and not recognized the actress any of those times until this one...
love it, reminds me of the "club singers" that used to be around (think of the movie "White Christmas", etc).
GIRLS Finale bought me her. Big Thank you to Lena, and the girls x
Me too! The entire show is really a work of art
I'm in love
We all are.
mummyjohn i agree
Now you just have to be loved in return
Wow! Allison's sounds and looks so beautiful I could happily watch her sing all day. I hope to hear much more from her soon. Maybe some more creative covers like this one.
This is absolutely stunning ... can't stop listening to it since I ran into it ... Thank you Twitter!
Mad props to that Steadicam op. He deserves and award!!
Allison Williams is sooo gorgeous..and a great singer..damn..she is going to blow up soon! Great performance on Girls also!
The arrangement is absolute genius, loved it.
Brilliant song, filming and lighting in every way!
Love the idea, the singer, the band, the camera work, the lighting, the set, the done in one take!
non plus ultra ! two of the best classic tunes and then so stylish a chanteuse
Okay, what's next, America's Got Talent? Mr. Williams, you're daughter is terrific!! I'll watch the evening news more closely to see if that father's pride swells the cranium. Somebody call Simon Cowell, this lady needs to be signed!!! Outstanding!!

Maher dabum that would've been good!
Nah.
As a die-hard Mad Men fan I concur, fantastic idea Maher
Sounds good in theory but I think it would be a little too on-the-nose
Or maybe in a '90s continuation having Allison Williams play Sally when at the beginning of 1990 she's about to turn 36 and is in the exact same position at Sterling, Draper and Partners her dad was at Sterling-Cooper 30 years earlier, winding up following in her dad's footsteps after getting an offer she truly could not turn down to be a Founding Partner of the new SDP while still in college in late 1973.
What a good ‘one shot ‘ take ....
very classy, very nice camera work. I saw this was done in one take. Really, wow! Good luck. do more. Wish you the best Ms. Williams ! Your dad rocks too.
My favourite RUclips music video of all time.
She's great on HBO as well as having a beautiful voice
I need in spotify, PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!
Allison Williams has a great smile AND a great voice! *swoons*
Hey voice is just phenomenal. I can't stop listening to this.
She knocked it out of the park and the musicians did too!! Great contact with the camera as well!! Allison has a GREAT career ahead of her. Why the hell is she not on GLEE??? HULLOOOO!!!
This is awesome and, on a completely unrelated note, thank you for crediting everyone down to the PA's on the description. You rarely get that nowadays.
I wish I could see more music like this. Talent, talent, talent!!! I love this. We need more of this. I LOVE MISS WILLIAMS SMILE!!!!!!!
Love her voice and beauty, can't stop watching this.
An updated take on some vintage-inspired tunes - right up our alley. Allison is great! Love this!

This is amazing. Allison is so beautiful and talented. I love Mad Men and Girls :)
I hope she keeps recording music
The jazz brunch that was promised
More than ten years later I find this quite magnificent
Allison Williams has one of the best voices I've ever heard.
Great series and great song !
Perfect! they should appear at least in one episode of the show... a restaurant scene maybe? :D
This is absolutely stunning. I am so impressed on many levels.
This is so cool -- really crosses generational and interest lines. It's the kind of thing someone would have done once upon a time on the Ed Sullivan Show, when the whole family would get to share it together.
This is absolutely beautiful.
This is just fantastic in every way.
LMAO!! Perfect statement! As I scanned through the comments and read yours, I did the classic double-take, paused, (and I swear I'm not making this up...) asked myself outloud, "Why does that statement make sense to me...?"

it would be awesome to be able to get this off of iTunes. SOOOO good
This is very well done! Likey!
