Danny Boy is one of my absolute favorite songs and always has been. I've heard literally hundreds of versions, but Harry Connick Jr's rendition for Memphis Belle, with that awesome swing rythym is one that I have never been able to find anywhere, not even a filthy bootleg- I plead with you Mr. Connick Jr, please for the sake of all the Irish, if not the world, please do a studio recording of this!!!!!
On this date 9/21/17 I close friend and co worker. Will be being taken off life support. As his is Danny, everytime he walked by I would start singing Oh Danny boy, he smiled and laughed each and everytime. He always struggled with heath Issues his whole 30+ years of his life. He could have taken full disability but refused and kept working. Because he said and I quote " I refuse to die lying in the couch when I can keep working. So all he needed was to keep smiling. 2 months ago I explained that he made me reminded of this movie and me growing up a huge Harry Connick Jr fan. I told him of the movie and happend to have 2 coppies. So a little over 2 weeks ago before Irma hit is in Tarpon springs Fl, he was able to watch it and he said I loved it, I want to watch it again he said, I said keep the movie and watch it whenever. I will always now remember him when I watch this movie. Thank you Danny for the memories and I love you and will see you again. May The Lord Bless Thee and keep thee, may the Lord cause his light to shine on thee, 26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace, Amen
Pistol Pete how cool would it be Harry Connick Jr heard your story and wanted to do something to honor Danny like perform the song Danny Boy for you guys and do something to help you guys. out?
Pistol Pete so then it would be cool if Harry Conick Jr did that for you guys because he’s the kind of person that would do something like that I think he would be touched and inspired and moved by your story to want to do something good to help you guys out in way or another.
Jared Huntley my mother is From Houma LA, which is an hour north of New Orleans. I had met Harry Twice , and he talked to my mother forbover an hour after a show we saw in Florida. He is the coolest most humble person I’ve met. And you are right, I should send my story to his Agent or PR rep. He needs to always know how much he helps others.
This reminds me of when I used to watch this with my grandfather. He was Irish and loved this song. My Uncle sang Danny Boy at my grandfather's funeral
the end where he says i dont wanna die is a hard part to watch, but you have to know how bad war really is to truly understand his emotions in that scene
As a kid I didn't quite understand what was up with him. But obviously understanding better as you get older. It's really dark to see a character on the edge of completely mentally breaking under the pressure like this. Very under appreciated what these guys had to go through just to be able to function and carry on day to day.
On top of that, because of the highly casualty rate the Air Force took in Europe, doing 25 combat missions and returning to base was a near impossibility. From what I’ve heard, the average number of successful combat missions for a B-17 was 11 missions.
Sadly,this version of Danny Boy was never released in any form other than that appearance. Perhaps the only solution is to make a personal request to Harry Connick Jr. himself to record and release it I really hope that he will,since it IS the best version of the song..
Totally, while it's a fictionalized version of the Memphis Belle, there isn't a love story or ridiculous BS. I will say that the Pearl Harbor attack sequence was pretty good.
@NYGARDA317 Actually, there is more to it than that-as there always is, and should be when something is written even somewhat well. I did some research and when Clay gives instructions to the band, "Let's do Danny Boy in C, come in on the second chorus." He's more than likely referring to what is known as "Boogie Woogie in C" which would make sense considering the time period. What he's basically saying is, "We're gonna jazz this up a little bit so these guys can dance to it."
For the comment of Lewis B...my Husband was in the army, had 6 tours before a higher ranking officer had ever even seen one. A lot of it is about the era. A man could have retired in 20 years without seeing a sing tour because there was no `active` war. But now it's multiple tours. A lower ranking officer can have more experience because of the circumstances when he joined.
in this movie the BELL got shot up- in the documenrty I don't think it caught a round - a crew member did in fact kiss the ground after it landed---years ago the plane was just sitting on Mud Island in Memphis -- I am proud to say I actually laid hands on it
All of the air scenes are based on actual events that occured during the Air war in Europe (including crew being tossed out of the aircraft due to damage/fighters/flak) a/c blowing up when landing on the belly, bombers being cut in half by german pilots hitting/ramming them. Along with horrific injuries to crews while bombing. USAAF bomber crew duty was more dangerous than being a Marine in the pacific, and only second to sub crews for deaths in combat.
Ok, I have to ask a stupid question...how did the band know to come in playing the way they did? I mean I know Clay said "Let's do Danny Boy in C...come in on the second chorus..." but...
2:36 - Every freaking manager in corporate america today . . so out of touch with the feelings, anxiety and struggles of those who have to do the actual job.
i dont get it, the guy they were picking on was a fucking master sergeant who has less bomber experience than them and the guy eric stoltz was playing was 4 ranks below him and he's the one saying "im used to it here"
+Lewis b Its probley because they were a new crew who never went on a bomb run (rookies) but Eric and his crew been there for 24 bombing runs and they are making their last run before they get to go home. So I'm sure that the experience crews picked on the rookies because they never had the experience of it.
Danny boy is a song of loss,death, grief, and sacrifice. Fuar enough if you like the haary connick style but- Sorry but this is not the best version in any way. To hear how the song is meant to be sung and understand its meaning check out Sinead O'Connor's performance live on tv without any musical accompaniment. I feel it would also be the most appropriate version for a film of this nature's subject matter.
Harry could be play this song in a CD... whit the same rythym ... fast and funny .... not as slow rythym ... but realy, i like this movie and the scenne when Harry play the song ....
@@andreacortellari4753 Hoi Andrea. Yhx for the reaction. But I was looking for the version of the movie. As Luiz said .. same rythm, fast and funny. Thx anyway.
Unfortunatly there isn't. This version hasn't been released in the official soundtrack of the film and Harry Connick Jr never re-recorded it as part of his albums. I assume there was a complete version made as part of the film's production,but it hasn't been released.
My hope is that La La Land Records will someday release the full soundtrack, they seem to be one of the few companies that releases soundtracks that the big studios won't.
God I wish there were a full length version of this song in this style. love this movie, love the song, and love swing music.
This one is the best version and the movie I LOVE IT .
And still no takers????
@@harveydontell777 Regrettably.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra was the rage then .
Well I actually think there is somewhere
I wish Harry would've recorded and released this version. The slow version is nice, but this in my opinion is even better.

You should hear the Haley Westenra version. Very hauntingly beautiful!
How i love these brothers. ❤️

I love this version. Harry Connick Jr. is simply amazing.
best version of the song I've ever heard
Love this movie and love this song!
I saw this movie in the theatres when it came out in 1990.
Must of been a huge hit
Me too. I’m getting old.
This reminds me of when I used to watch this with my grandfather. He was Irish and loved this song. My Uncle sang Danny Boy at my grandfather's funeral
Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. Really hoping Masters of the Air will channel some of this movie's charm.
6 years later and still waiting for Masters of the Air :(
@@antartis73 it’s being filmed tho! Loads of snapshots of the sets and all that :)
@@OceanMan_ January 26th-Masters of the Air on Apple TV
i always felt that when db sweeny screamed he didn't want to die, the Belle heard him...
really need to watch this again..
Im watching this every month from when i was 5 years old.
Nikola Rakić SAMEEEEEEE
same
same and i'm 30
same!!!
Same i m 31
Lost count how many times I’ve rewatched this….
the end where he says i dont wanna die is a hard part to watch, but you have to know how bad war really is to truly understand his emotions in that scene
john phone booth yes War is cruel but if you look closely he’s holding a bottle, which might mean he’s drunk
As a kid I didn't quite understand what was up with him.
But obviously understanding better as you get older. It's really dark to see a character on the edge of completely mentally breaking under the pressure like this.

at the end when he says "I don't wanna die" is the most saddest part of the movie for me
I was same before first tour of ieaq
Best movie of all times!

This movie made me fall in love with Harry Connick Jr
This version is better than the studio version! Love him.
+Mitch Lindblad (MLL767) I kniw it pisses me off
Mitch Lindblad true that would love to hear a full version of it
omg same!!!
I want the full version played at my funeral.
Still here for the vibes 13 yes later, still wishing there a single 🙄😒
Very cool music 🎵
Best movie ever!
undoubtedly
really the best version of danny boy amazing movie
Great version!
Way better than Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor.
Totally, while it's a fictionalized version of the Memphis Belle, there isn't a love story or ridiculous BS. I will say that the Pearl Harbor attack sequence was pretty good.
The nurses were the only thing that made it watchable:)
There are numerous high school productions that are better than most of Bay's abominations.
@@Ammeeeeeeer aBayminations
Helljumper425 Michael bay directed Pearl Harbor I didn’t know that.
this is very under rated
best version
I watch this for Rascal i relate to him in so many ways
Carl Elias I love rascal lol
Bragging to everyone because my mum was an extra in this movie scene and I think that’s amazing
Hey db Sweeny. You're the ducking best. I hope you still watch these. With drew.
I wished i live back then, even if id be dead by now.
What ever happened to Eric Stoltz??? I loved him as an actor.
Love this 😍
I love this version of the song
What a voice
😊o danny boy
I ,ove you sooooo
Wow look at how young the actor Sean Astin was in this movie he was just a kid a teenager.
times of war but good times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
look how young Astin, Connick Jr and Stoltz looked! Man, I miss the 80's!
tina pruett me too. though i've never actually lived in the 80s...
4:18 that's exactly how being hammered drunk and emotional is like
Great flick!
you're a criminal!!you cut it on the probably best scene of this AWESOME movie...
Perhaps some one shall convince Harry Connick Jr to re-record it for his next album.
Mother and Country went down in the film didn't it!?

Wouldn't be great to get Harry Connick Jr to sings this for the president, On Vetrans. Day. In this Old Uniform. It would mean a lot, to us Old Vets.
Well done harry.
Didn't wash his hands.

@Carol21uk @wanishedwiz @kalerka According to wikipedia, it's on Harry Connick Jr.'s album Come by Me
he actually has several cds.
anyone know where i can find this song in full?
I don't want to spoil your enthusiasm but that song will always be associated with Albert Finney's fantastic scene in "Miller's Crossing."
can anyone tell me where can i find this very "danny boy" on CD?
i DONT WANNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEE AHASDHDARASRASR AHAHAHHAHAAHHA

Me too.
Who the fuck dislikes this 🙈🙈🙈🙈
I do not get the association of this song with the movie, what is it all about.

This has to be dubbed. cause if it was his real voice i think he needed a C.D.
It's dubbed, but only for the fact that they do that 90% of the time in movies, so they can get a nice clean track.
He's a performing artist. That's his real voice. That's Harry Connick Jr and he really is from New Orleans
