Charlie Chaplin -- Modern Times (1936)

Back



This is the first time that we can hear Charlie Chaplin's voice (on television at least). This extract is part of "The Modern Times" (1936). Chaplin performs the famous song "Charabia" whose lyrics don't mean anything. Anyway, the gesture is very funny ! Perhaps you know the recent Jay-Five's remix of the song.

but the funny thing is that though the whole thing is jibberish, you have a somewhat good idea of what he is singing about, reading from his body movements.

So what he sings is gibberish and nonsensical? :P I just thought it was Italien or something when I watched it...

He sings a mixture of French+Italian. basically hes putting up a point that people can enjoy films even if they cant understand the sound.Chaplin was a theatre performer so he prefered silent films.
