Any negative comment referring to perceived racism or negative racial motivations of any sort will be deleted.
Tar baby is being used a slur to insult black People FYI
Can I ask why?
@@zd1306 Of course. Once something like racial accusations enters a conversation, things get mean and nasty really fast and I don't want that on my channel.
@@closetdisneynerd Thank you so much!
This album was big in my early childhood in the early '50s. A white boy in Texas, I grew up appalled that anyone could be mean to Uncle Remus or his people. He taught me anti-racism.
Those page-turning chimes are a fond noise of my childhood 🙂
I just said that
GOOD MEMORIES
Same
Good Cherishable Nostalgic Memories
Same. Had this on cassette at one time, and it was paired with another Disney read-along, Pete's Dragon, if I recall.
I had this record book. I've forgotten all about it. I played it over n over. One of my favorite childhood stories 😁😁😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was one of mine too.
Me, too! 😂😂😂 I love it.
Same here! This brings back very fond memories for me. So glad that I found this on CZcams and could listen to it once again. ^_^
Wow!! I did too 😂
I am 40 year-old yet I still remember this word for word. Wonderful childhood memories!!
Same here
Im 19 and still grew up on this
I am so glad I did not forget this book and song. Brings back great childhood memories
Absolutely LOVED these cassettes.
I was fortunate enough to ride on Splash Mountain years ago. Fun ride!
Wore this record out as a child great memories
Truthfully I love that movie quite a bit, and this book is adorable!
This was my favorite book and record. I listened to this over and over.
Those scratched up record sounds like my childhood.
To be honest, I don't see anything that's racist. I love the story in general
I used to have this in the 80's as a little girl! LOVED this story! Thanks for sharing and bringing me back!
You're very welcome
I had the cassette version of this would listen to it often. Never knew about Song of the South until years later.
I was actually able to find SOTS on DVD recently. I surprised my dad with it last Saturday. Dad's 80 year old, and this was the 1st movie he ever saw in a theater.
The racial issues aside, it actually is a good story. Uncle Remus is actually the hero of the movie, because he helps a young boy cope with not having his father around, by telling him stories.
I was the same way. I use to watch the Zip a Dee Doo Dah tape and see all these Brer Rabbit merchandise and books and had no idea what it was from and it took me until I was 10 to finally find out what the name of the film was and I'd been trying to find it for years. I finally got to see it when I was 13 and I loved it.
Same here
I had this book and record back in 1979. It was one of my favorites. Saw the movie in the theater in 1980.
I still have this book and record from my childhood. Heard it many times.
Love these stories and characters so much, such a fascinating history behind them too. Glad we have CZcams to future generations can see them!
Loved this as a child...forgot about the chime!!!
Holy shit. Millennial born in ‘93 and this brought me back. Before my mom graduated nursing school, we had laserdisc (which I had Pooh on!) and record players before upgrading to VHS and eventually DVD. My dad was especially fond of records and would often thrift and garage sale hunt. This was one of those lucky thrifts. Eventually years later we became WDW passholders and Splash Mountain was my favorite. Thanks for this!
This is a certified hood classic
This is my Tribute to splash mountain
My mom bought me the story when I was about 8 years old with the record and I absolutely loved it.. I'm 50 now 😓
Had not thought about this in years, then today the song just popped into my head! I dont know why!
This was one of my all time favorites!! Thank you.
Thanks so much for posting! Had the cassette version when I was little and just found my book! Thanks for helping bringing back a piece of my childhood ❤
Your very welcome. So glad you enjoyed it. If you still had it, that cassette might be worth something these days.
I love this video and this book. I never had it, though. My grandpa actually grew up off of song of the south.
I think this is based on the book "Uncle Remus". The author grew up near a plantation and tried to gather up a bunch of stories from the slaves. So if you want more Brer Rabbit stories, lookup the book.
The author was Alcèe Fortier. I have the book in English.
@@iseekper5ection6 Interesting. I've always seen it attributed to Joel Chandler Harris. Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys talks about how Brer Rabbit stories were morphed from Yoruba stories about Anansi. I first learned about Anansi in grade 2, after having heard this record in kindergarten.
That has to be 1 of the most brilliant parables ever.
this is still a lot more modern than my mom would read it. Thanks a lot for posting this. This is history and very important to keep alive!
Sweet memories
I had a catalog of the read along books. I've always wanted this book but never got it. Thank you for this.
OMG!!! I had this as a kid and I absolutely loved it!!!!! Wow, that brought me waaaaaaaay back
A Cultural Classic that is a national treasure. Protect this from the culture killers !
I will, to the death!
7:11-laughing place music. Also, Brer bear laughs like goofy
I had this on cassette when I was little. Thank you for the fun memory.
omg this took me back....waaaaay back
I had this record and book as a child. I don't really remember listening to it, but I read the book a lot. 😊
Thanks for putting this up. I still have the book but lost/broke the cassette as a kid so I was wondering how this sounded all these years later. The paintings in the book are so nice looking.
I had this a kid, remember listening to this at my grandparents house 30 plus years ago
WOW!! Thank You So Much for sharing these Wonderful Stories!! I used to have the record player with the story books!! Born in January of '67, I remember family members buying me these for Christmas and my birthday! I absolutely loved them and now I share the stories with my grandchildren. It is an absolute joy!! Brer Rabbit was my favorite. I even remember asking my Uncle to read me the story over and over when I went to their house! Such great memories! Thank you again! 💕✌🏼
I used to have this book, when I was still eight years old.
Thank you so much for this
Oh thank you for this video, . I can hear my grandpa reading this.
This is a sweet production - hitorical gem.
Thanks for posting
Such a nice childhood memory.
OMG! haven't heard this in so long. I'm thinking 40 years ago, as I'm 47-years-old:) LOL!
Have mercy...
the nostalgia-
Man, I used to listen to this on cassette
Had record and book. Had a big box full and kids record player. Too bad we didn't still have them.
The narrator sounds just like the DNA cartoon in Jurassic Park.
I just remember this book and tape gave me NIGHTMARES as a kid 😂
OMG WHAT A MEMORY!!! I knew almost a the words hahahaha ❣️🥰
I still have my collection in my closet..one of the few things i have from my childhood. So cool to see how many of yall enjoyed this too. I liked its a small world too
Omg memories just seeing that record
I remember this when I was elementary school.
I had this story on tape when I was a child. I used to play it every day during the vacation. It was part of a series of stories that were on the same tape. They were all part of this classic Disney collection with the chimes. Pete's Dragon, Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz were also on the same tape.
Splash mountain brought me here
I last heard this story more than 40 years ago. Nostalgia bomb.
I had this as a kid. XD
Wonderful childhood memories!
Amazin'!
This story was the result of my nightmares over a period of 7yrs. I used to dream i was stuck in tar maccaroni and i could never get up. It was so bad i would vomit everytime i had the dream
Fun book to listen to
my mom used to read this to me as a kid :)
Fave. I have a couple Song of the South soundtrack type LPs and the LP with the storybook - but never got this one :( Thanks for the post - classic and nothing wrong with this wonderful story. Not a single racist bone in this - AT ALL - this is art and a nice story and wonderfully executed. Classic as it gets - a huge part of my childhood memories.
Does anybody else think of the little girl in "Savannah Smiles" telling this story when they hear it?
I loved that movie...and I don’t know of anyone else who watched it
@@juliad8365 Well, you know have a friend with something in common.
I haven’t thought about that movie in years!!!
Sounds like Bob Holt doing voices.
The tar baby kinda looks like if a penguin and the doll from coraline had a baby 😂
My entire childhood is scarred. I still don’t understand how this is a lesson and I definitely did not understand what her baby was and the word just still sounds made up.
I'm feel'n miiiighty low.
The way ,the truth ,the light in america
I had this when I was 5
This gave me nightmares as a kid. Especially the Rabbit Ears Entertainment version
Glad I could help bring back happy memories for you! XD
I want to see the movie! It should be allowed to be shown so we can make the decision on whether its offensive or not. ...Zip a dee doo da zip a yee yay.
@@regvision You can find a bootleg DVD of Song Of The South on ebay.
@@closetdisneynerd thanks for the info. I will look it up.
This is a Biloxi American Indian story 💕
Splash Mountain has been closed. :(
I gotta get me dats book!!
I remember him being tarred and feathered.... I could be wrong i guess, but that part i seem to remember as a child. My grandmother has the old Disney book. Maybe Mandela Effect? Lol
I remember this story brer rabbit
bruh the laugh from the bear in the end sound like goofy
My mom threw away so much cool shit
Was this banned?
fave
CRT...science based Disney fiction ✨
It's been remastered somewhat, and I appreciate your efforts, but we really can't get rid of the first 34 seconds of static?
I couldn't rid of it completely. It appears shortly at the end of the record as well. I was able to lessen it a bit from what it originally was. I only use digital noise removal extremely sparingly because it attacks the over all dynamic range of the sound. I don't think this is 'static' either. I think the record may have been played with a bad needle at some point, damaging the groove. I was able to lessen it but any more would have made it sound worse so I decided to mainly leave it in. At least it's only momentary.
@@closetdisneynerd I'm a vinyl wh*** I appreciate the crackle. Every record is a unique story. To convert vinyl to digital is so anachronistic anyway haha. Thank you.
@@closetdisneynerd The record static and pop is normal for that era and should be preserved as such. This is what it sounded like to kids back then as most of us just had old worn out small cheap record players that we beat up playing these 45s constantly all day. That's how those of us who were there in that time remember it. Digitally taking it out to clean it up is erasing history in a way. The static and pop is part of the experience. Keep it authentic for the young generations who have never seen a record player in their life.
How much do these record and book sets sell for in good condition?
I have no idea. I'd check out the listings on ebay
To this day I still hate that rabbit.
If you are ever traveling in the Mojave Desert find yourself at the gas station at the Cima Road exit. There are three ' old west gold diggers' outside . Push the button. This same voice tells you to go inside to buy beef jerky and dried fruit.
He... He just punched a baby for not saying howdy
*doll
Was there an earlier version of this record narrated by a woman with a British accent?
They played this for us a couple of times in my kindergarten class (1981-1982). Hearing it now, I think the narrator is a white guy trying to sound black. He certainly sounds nothing like James Baskett in the songs.
I-
I have the book
1946
Do you hate the splash mountain clousere
Yes I do
@@closetdisneynerd same
They could've used another word besides tar baby
any alternate suggestions?
Tar baby didn't become a racial phrase until much later.
At this time (late 1800s) a tar baby is what people (and slaves in particular) used to call a situation that got worse the more you tried to fix it... Exactly like what happened to Rabbit as he kept trying to teach that tar baby a lesson in manners.
Something about this just doesn’t quite sit right with me....
Great news. You don’t have to listen to it.
Correct. Super racist. Doesn’t sit rig with the spirit.
@@amyvanmechelen4457 you forgot to add “not” before super racist.
@@amyvanmechelen4457 it’s 2 characters using tar to snare another, it doesn’t even feature people? How can this particular book be racist?
Bear nasesitys
I don't know...this is a bit too on the nose...*smh*
The american way : name of jesus-christ amen
I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST RAP SONG !!!
that's an interesting statement
Just found the simple version hereczcams.com/video/nCQBZchKong/video.html
Yikes. No thanks.
