The college I used to attend is down the street from some kind of new age Christian church. I went to one of their free spaghetti dinners cuz hey broke college kid free food why not? The church's choir was practicing as I left, and I swear to God they were singing this song as a warmup. I heard the chorus and I'm like "Are...they singing The Jeffersons?" HELL YEAH THEY WERE!
_♫ "Fish Don't Fry In The Kitchen" ♫_ Well, I never understood that lyric because I always fry fish in the kitchen. Rest in peace, Ja'Net DuBois. I'm so glad I got a chance to meet Ja'Net at the National Black Theater Festival in Winston-Salem, NC.
Hope Spaull I just learnt that Origionally this is a Religius song. Written and Sang by Janet De’bus of Good Times. It’s called Moving On Up To Meet Jesus.. So your wish can come true. But like they say not too Soon lol.
I always thought it was “Please don’t fight in the Kitchen, The Beans gonna burn on the Grill, Took a whole lot of tryin just to get up that hill, Now we all up in the big leagues, There’s no turning back, As long as we live, It’s you and me baby, Ain’t nothing wrong with that”
😂😂😂 I thought it said "To the peace side... uh beans don't burn on the grill.... took uh whole lotta crying uh just ta be up that hill..... taking our turn at that. movin on up to the east side" (on the last part) first few times
I haven't listened to this for a while, so I figured, what the hell? I remember Weezy hitting George with a pillow and he went flying over the bed and landed on the other side. Can't really remember right off hand what George did, but I am reasonably sure he deserved it. God, I love this song!!
"Fish don't fry in the kitchen"? Uh ... That's where I always fry my fish. "Beans don't burn on the grill"? Uh ... Yes they will. More sense would be, "Fish gon' (abbreviated from 'gonna')fry in the kitchen. Beans gon' burn on the grill,"
It speaks to their newly found "bourgeoisie" living standards. That's low level to them now. It's like they're saying , "Who still does that? How Unfortunate."
When I heard that song, regrettably, I had agnosia-related issues with processing the lyrics, because I had autism at the time I saw The Jeffersons around 1977 or so. For example, I misinterpreted... "Took a whole lotta tryin', just to get up that hill....." as......... "Shook up hold on the "turn 'dat in", and Jezebel (I heard that as "Jeze-biiiillllll") upped that bill." That did not make sense so I had to force myself to love that gospel-packed music instead of trying to understand the lyrics.
"You done fucked up, you know that don't you?! You said you bought the bottle of beer at 11:15, now you say 12:15!" "You know what they give you for that? The gas chamber! You know what the gas chamber smells like? Pine oil! That's where you headed boy, to pine oil heaven!" "And we're not gunna fall for the banana in the tailpipe!" "So, Mr. THUMPERGREY , how could it take you 5 minutes to cook your grits, when it takes the entire grit-eatin world 20 minutes?! Are you sure about that 5 minutes?!" "The defense is wrong!" The lyrics @0:35 is "Gettin our turn at bat" NOT "Gonna get my turn at bat"!
How can u think people can read this?...i really don t understand how many dumb,do video ,without check It out....It s too fast ,words that fly left and right....bah horrible

How the lyrics turned out and the displays with the words really groove! Indeed!
The college I used to attend is down the street from some kind of new age Christian church. I went to one of their free spaghetti dinners cuz hey broke college kid free food why not? The church's choir was practicing as I left, and I swear to God they were singing this song as a warmup. I heard the chorus and I'm like "Are...they singing The Jeffersons?" HELL YEAH THEY WERE!
😂😂
😂 Sweetness!! 😂
The Jeffersons and Good-times themes are my all time favorite! I felt those words in the pit on my soul!!! Lol
_♫ "Fish Don't Fry In The Kitchen" ♫_
Well, I never understood that lyric because I always fry fish in the kitchen.
Rest in peace, Ja'Net DuBois. I'm so glad I got a chance
to meet Ja'Net at the National Black Theater Festival
in Winston-Salem, NC.
i want this as my funeral song
Not very soon I hope my friend...

They should play this at Ja’net’s...
@@barbarayevoli8229 I figured it was a type of gospel. 🤗
No worries thanx Not Verry Soon!
Nobody sings this like Janet "Wilona" Dubois!!!!!
Rest in Heaven Janet Dubois ❤
September 2018 still watching..... I love this song.
the design of the lyrics is so cool, making every word look how it sound
I always thought it was “Please don’t fight in the Kitchen, The Beans gonna burn on the Grill, Took a whole lot of tryin just to get up that hill, Now we all up in the big leagues, There’s no turning back, As long as we live, It’s you and me baby, Ain’t nothing wrong with that”
"As long as we live" when I was a kid I thought they said "we got big lips," figured they were just making a joke or something.
"Fists don't fly in kitchen". And I always thought it was "...getting our turn at theft".
I also thought it said "now we're up in the Bentley, getting my turn at bat", referencing the Jeffersons neighbor Mr. Bentley. Lol 😆
My favorite theme song!
Whoever made this was a genius. Love it. Speechless.
Still one of the greatest songs ever written. The story behind it is great too!
Oh God... I always thought it was "Please don't fight in the kitchen"
Hehe🤣😂
😂😂😂 I thought it said "To the peace side... uh beans don't burn on the grill.... took uh whole lotta crying uh just ta be up that hill..... taking our turn at that.
movin on up to the east side"
(on the last part)
first few times
Buenomars 🤣🤣☺️

I love this TV show and song 🎵
This was a great show!
I haven't listened to this for a while, so I figured, what the hell? I remember Weezy hitting George with a pillow and he went flying over the bed and landed on the other side. Can't really remember right off hand what George did, but I am reasonably sure he deserved it. God, I love this song!!
Milhouse Van Houten (living in Capitol City, while Bart misses him) and Homer Simpson (acting like a homeless guy) brought me here

Getting OUR turn at bat
"Fish don't fry in the kitchen"? Uh ... That's where I always fry my fish.
"Beans don't burn on the grill"? Uh ... Yes they will.
More sense would be, "Fish gon' (abbreviated from 'gonna')fry in the kitchen. Beans gon' burn on the grill,"
😂 i fry my fish in the kitchen too
T. W. Spears perhaps it was meant to ironic considering how fish and beans are the cheap and easily affordable on a small income.
Yes it means you have a lot of money so you have new appliances to have your maid/ butter cook for you.
It speaks to their newly found "bourgeoisie" living standards. That's low level to them now. It's like they're saying , "Who still does that? How Unfortunate."
When I heard that song, regrettably, I had agnosia-related issues with processing the lyrics, because I had autism at the time I saw The Jeffersons around 1977 or so.
For example, I misinterpreted...
"Took a whole lotta tryin', just to get up that hill....."
as.........
"Shook up hold on the "turn 'dat in", and Jezebel (I heard that as "Jeze-biiiillllll") upped that bill."
That did not make sense so I had to force myself to love that gospel-packed music instead of trying to understand the lyrics.
Thank you

"You done fucked up, you know that don't you?!
You said you bought the bottle of beer at 11:15, now you say 12:15!"
"You know what they give you for that? The gas chamber!
You know what the gas chamber smells like? Pine oil!
That's where you headed boy, to pine oil heaven!"
"And we're not gunna fall for the banana in the tailpipe!"
"So, Mr. THUMPERGREY
, how could it take you 5 minutes to cook your grits,
when it takes the entire grit-eatin world 20 minutes?!
Are you sure about that 5 minutes?!"
"The defense is wrong!"
The lyrics @0:35 is "Gettin our turn at bat" NOT "Gonna get my turn at bat"!

When you see a black cat in the dark, don’t get scared just play the Jeffersons theme song! Cats are African American!
They had their own house so why is moving to an apartment somehow better? I rather live in my own house!
Because it was a large "deluxe apartment in the sky" and would've been better than their house
....on the east side
And that's a real life luxury apt in Manhattan shown in the theme song. It's a huge tourist spot!
That apartment costs far more than your house.
Their apartment was as big as a 🏠. 3 bed 3 1/2 bath, patio, maid, plus George had one of his cleaners down on the main level.
detroits last communist
I can't help but to compare cats to black people!
