Roger Miller - Ringing Up Rosie Lyrics

Realize this is what the recording industry would have had if it were not for JFK and the Beatles in the Spring of '64.

Thx, Dick. I have a killer boil on my ass. His mouth. lol this is better than shaolin vs lama.

Nastalgic of the impeachment today. Great somg for this time aswell.

How have I managed forty years stranded on this cursed rock without finding out about this due before today?...I'm a fucking chump....

Anyone from 2020

Y'all stay tuned for that popeye cartoon .❤❤❤👣🕊🌎🥰👋

So he didn’t need any kind of amplification while playing and singing, but needed the mic while doin the interview 🤷🏼‍♂️

Takes me back about 50 years.

Such class

dont Da nang ? me

Didn't know Clearasil was that old.

I haven't heard this song since it was big back then. What a flash back to the past! Bringing back old memories.

Is it just me or is this blatant lip syncing ?

Damn!!! lol at Dick Clark... I didn’t even recognize him he was sooooo young here!!!

I want this played at my funeral.
Don’t forget mom.

Isso é lindo demais tá louco 😂

LMAO 🤣 😆 awesome

I love this song

Wonder why no black singers have covered this song?

Maybe they have?

@rusher1977 Maybe it has something to do with the lyrics?

@Michael Proctor You're right lmao

Trailers for sale or rent

I’ll bet you that Robin Williams studied him carefully.

"I lack 14 dollars of having 27cents"

Nice lip sync but that’s how it was. Great entertainer!

From the golden age of lip syncing

Roger was not one to lipsync but Clark would not pay for live performances. He was too cheap. So this was treated as a promotional and Miller just sat on the stool and moved his mouth a bit.

All time. And if I ever see a kid in person say “ok boomer”, I’ll throat punch him or bitch slap her😂✌🏾🇺🇸🎄🎅🏻🎁

Ok boomer

Think he could have done Johnny Cash covers easily .

I live in Amarillo and I've been told he was a fireman here but got fired basically because he sang silly songs on the job. How funny...lol!

OOOH YEAH KANE REMEMBER HIM MY PARENTS HOOK ME UP ON HIM GREAT SONG

Anyone here from watching Trailer Park Boys Movie?!

I love Roger Miller,miss his cute smile.

A great song writer..one of the best

i just watched the mule and had to find what clint was fucking about at!

He's lip syncing, right? There's no microphone nearby during the song and when they do the interview they put the stick mic right up to their faces.

just remember clearasil when you think your country is goin to hell

This one never gets old!

I haven't heard this song in years.

Reminds me of Johnny rebel 😂

I wish he would have done it live instead of lip sync.

Dude holy shit the 60s was wierd asf this is like a trip I love this

And Clark Dixon!

When I lived in Florida this song came on every friday. Thanks this reminds me of when I was in kindergarten

Clearasil lmao

He sounds just like the Rooster in Robin Hood

thats cause he voiced the rooster

Roger wasn't just a great singer, guitarist, and a master songwriter, he was one hell of a great fiddle player, too. It's been said that other songwriters used to follow him around to try and steal his song ideas, just in case he dropped a scrap of paper.

From the soundtrack of a very underrated movie Off Limits.

G. LOVES Awesome uncle

i love this man. remembered him since i was really little.

i had a gradeschool friend who sang it, “hang me from the lowest watermellon branch!”

What movie or game is this from ?! I've heard it before but can't put my finger on it.

Dick Clark looked just like that til the day he died...
May they both live forever in all our hearts.

Awesome!!!

No disrespect to those of you who really like mr. Miller but, I was more from the Jim Stafford generation so, I don't know how uncomfortable it is to be "forced" to lip-sync your own art but, he just looks like he's not taking this seriously at all. BTW, is he the one who did _King of the Road?_

Was that a young Dick Clark doing the interview? I think it was.

Flatus Antiquitous
I think it was his twin sister

Cool good old stuff

Roger Miller did scat-singing better than any other white singer I know of.

Full on Clearasil ad in the beginning lol

Love how he's making fun of being made to lip synch lol so funny

Many years ago I was at a country meeting place in Nashville. It was a house where musicians hung out. I was with my Uncle, Fred Foster, who was a legend in the Country Music world. Roger Miller came in and sat down and started talking. He said “I have recorded a song today and if this is not a hit I will quit this business and go back to Oklahoma”. Someone said sing it! He went out to his car, got his guitar, came back in and sung “King of the Road”. Everyone stood and applauded. It was his greatest hit ever. Will never forget that.

He could never be able to stick to only one of his many talents 😎 Phillip Austin

one of the best Mr. Roger Miller!!!

Dang me, I wish I was there to get an autograph!

The Gavin Report submitted a report about 'Eight Miles High' by the Byrds because it had the word 'high' in the lyrics as a drug reference, yet, Roger Miller got away with it without any political interference.

Really?!! That's hilarious that the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (which is what the Warren Commission was) would ban a song released two years after they issued their final report. I think you may be a little mixed up.

@smiff M Sorry, it was the Gavin Report.

@Mowac Okay, at least it wasn't a government entity, but a SF based trade publication. So it sounds like those stations self imposed those standards. I'm sure there was a lot of that going on back in the day.

My dad used to sing this when I was young and I'm just now seeing this for the first time. Wow. I never knew what it was from.

Cool to get to see another fine example of vintage lip syncing to one's recording. But I did tune in here to hear a tune that definitely stood out in the period and has endured. You can certainly see the "genre blur" when listening to Roger Miller.

......It was 1960's version of 'Solid Gold'

Coooool

He had a little ol' country guitar picker in his band named Danny Gatton.

That he did,.....Miller was no slouch as a musician himself.

The man was a genius. He and John Prine both have that same "little something" of a gift in song writing.

Always loved this song.

Dick Clark was so special.

...violets are purple. ..

I have always loved Rogers music,it always lifts the spirit,and you can sing along with it, such a shame some people have it thumbs down, they must be very depressed people.

Something about Dick Clark is so fake,like he is above everybody!

Now that was old.

Da Nang me

I was fortunate enough to see him in Branson Mo in late 80’s very early 90’s. He was sick then. Very talented writer & performer. Went too soon no doubt.

....years of smoking will do that to you.

to dead men shooting the shit

He's witty, lol.

good one = hugs and think you
<3

Rogers' uncle was Sheb Wooley, who played Pete on Rawhide. He also sang and was a song writer. I think he wrote Purple People Eater. Also had a drunken alter ego named Ben Colder.

I remember some t.v. offer back in the early 1980's that plugged a song-parody of hits and the album was called, 'The Best Of Sheb Wooley And Ben Colder' or something to that effect.

Roger Miller: " Dang me, I gotta lip-synch this performance! Dang you, Dick Clark!".

Thanks for this!

Roger Miller is one of a kind.Unique

ROGER MILLER
I LOVE ROGER MUSIC DANG ME AND KING OF THE ROAD AND OTHER LOVE YOU ROGER MILLER

212 dislikes dang me folks don't know good music

Remember listening to him as a kid ! 👍👍

My uncle, Johnny Bishop, was Roger’s commanding officer in the Army Special Services entertainment unit. Other unit members, all of whom regularly travelled together, were Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy, Mayberry RFD and F- Troop’s Ken Berry. Most of them stayed in touch after their Army years.

lol mom had and autograph book that someone usede the maple syruple line lol

Fat ass adam a none ass fault looser snors like a pig eats like a pig i quit

He looks like he could be Drake Bell’s grandfather

I can't believe this country song was on American Bandstand.

The telephone thing was Awesome and hilarious! 😱 👏🏻 👍🏻 💚 😘 🙌🏻

I have to thank my Grandparents for introducing me to this music!😱👏🏻👍🏻💚😘

He had his own ringtones LoL

In Daniel Boone.

One of my very personal favorite country crossover records of all time

What a totally awesome and original song that is.

"Now Roses is Red and Violets is Purple. Sugar's sweet...and so's Maple Surple." I was a twelve-year-old Canadian "musical-proverbial-kneehigh" when I first heard Roger sing this one. It truly put a grin on my face. (Yep. We have lots and lots of Maple Surple up here in Canada. Bring us your $USD and come up and buy some...y'all !!!) (God Bless.)
