Mad Men Theme Song ... With a Twist
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 10. 2010
- We loved the song "A Beautiful Mine" by RJD2 that plays during the opening credits of "Mad Men." We wanted to put lyrics to it and realized that "Nature Boy" made famous by Nat King Cole, and written by eden ahbez, was the perfect fit. This was filmed in one take (this one, specifically, happened to be take 29 of the day)...no cuts, dubbing, lip-syncing or auto-tuning. More videos coming soon...This is a Video Recorded Live.

"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.
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!
She is SO talented! Not only is she beautiful, she has a fabulous voice and connects with the camera so well.
people only point out the beauty of others when theyre ugly or homely, this woman looks like she has a penis
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
That smile at 1:34 gets me every time.
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.
The jazz brunch that was promised
Spectacular
When you only have 20 likes in 10 yrs, but you're verified channel 🙄
I can't even express the awesomeness that is this tune...
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 CZcams 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.
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.
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.
A great mash up of Nature Boy and the Mad Men theme ! Absolutely fantastic
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.
Addicted to this..playing it for the 10th time in a row
This is awesome. I love Allison Williams. I think she's so talented and beautiful.
I'd watched this fifty times over and not recognized the actress any of those times until this one...
Who wouldve guessed she would be our new scream queen.
Maybe for “Get Out “ yah
But Megan is more of a si fi…
This has been on repeat for half an hour now. Can't get enough of it !
I just so can't even. That was so beautiful!
I can't "like" this enough. I could spend the day listening to this, I wish I could.
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 :-)
defuse56 +1
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 Men is infinitely better
This is awesome. Great singing voice! Allison could definitely be the singing voice of a Disney voice.
I am disappointed that this is the only video on this channel. They seem very talented & the vocalist nailed it.
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!
I feel like I should be hearing applause when this video ends, it's just so fantastic. You all did an excellent job.
I'm in love
We all are.
mummyjohn i agree
Now you just have to be loved in return
My favourite CZcams music video of all time.
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!
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!
The coolest thing I've seen all day.
She's great on HBO as well as having a beautiful voice
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
This is very well done! Likey!
Marnie you go girl! I love GIRLS & Mad Men! This is fabulous!!
