The Honeybees Song

I think Dawn said when she hosted the MeTV thing that Natalie really wasn't crazy about doing that scene at all.

I noticed that at the end of the song where the Honeybees are buzzing on the soundtrack, Natalie has her lips together at first before figuring out that she should be showing her teeth like Tina & Dawn, since no one can buzz through closed lips.

I agree with everything you wrote! It's like I would have written the post exactly like you did!

I don't even need to add anything!

I noticed that Miss Schaefer was also a little out of step but, rather these being unintentional 'slips' by the performer, I think these were done for comic relief because, as entertaining as it was seeing the gorgeous Miss Louise and Miss Welles sing and dance that song, it wasn't really humorous without the older woman being 'klutzy' next to them!
Yes, I can understand that Miss Schaefer not being 'crazy' about doing that scene since even with the sweater and mop wig, there was no disguising that she was noticeably older than the others in that scene , the dancing was nothing like the Charleston or Lindy Hop of her own youth- and it WAS somewhat out of character for Lovey to be participating in this ' commoner teen' dance.

EXACTLY!!! That is what made it so cool and funny! Natalie in that silly wig and how she emphasizes and over enunciates the word NEED!!!


You NEED me!!!! You NEED me!!!!!!!

Thanks, BonnieGirl.

It's vital to remember that as much as GI appreciated 'eye candy' above ALL, it was a comedy!

I just tried to buzz with my lips closed. It can be done, but it's not as easy and it's a much louder buzz if you show your teeth!

I saw this episode on TV Land and they cut the song to shreds! They sing the opening chorus then it cuts to the closing chorus. Less than 1 minute total. They completely cut out the lyrics sung by each individual woman. I had a friend who had never seen the episode and he couldn't see why I wanted him to see the scene. It was awful.

OH NO!!! That was the best part of the whole ep! Wonder why they chose that scene to cut?

The whole episode was poorly edited by people who apparently never watched GI!

TVLand is ABSOLUTE garbage! SO MANY COMMERCIALS. Your basically just watching commercial with brief moments of show stuck in. This specific episode on the DVD runs 25 minutes 21 seconds. On TVLAND it ran for 14 minutes 2 seconds. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL!

14 minutes and 2 seconds means that TV BLand literally airs more commercials than program. I had a feeling that they did.
