  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Harry Richman - Puttin' on the Ritz

submitted by Aard Vark

(oritteropo)
1 decade 3 years 1 month ago

Puttin' on the Ritz was originally written for Harry Richman, although the later version with Fred Astaire is probably better known (actually, probably the Young Frankenstein and Taco versions are better known).

There is another version on youtube with better audio, but it didn't have the video.

Outstanding, great sifting.

Moving this video to oritteropo's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Nice. I like Taco's version the best though.

I like both versions, but thought this was the more interesting one to sift. I should thank Taco Ockerse for his version though, or else I wouldn't have known of the song at all!

Oh, and every other version is already here >> ^ant:

I heard Taco's version and loved it. Then, I saw Young Frankenstein's version which was OK (funny scene), and now this one.
