Did you know she’s one of the few people not dubbed in this movie? And they actually lowered the song an octave for her to be able to sing it. Her voice was so beautiful and in such high demand they changed their policy just for her. Your deep voice is beautiful; make them change for you, don’t change for them😉

I'll tell you why I wanna dance. It ain' de sweetness in de music~ I like de sweetness in de music, But dat ain' why I wanna dance. It's sumpin' thumpin' in de bass, A bumpin' underneath de music. Dat bum-bum-bumpin' under music Is all I need To start me off. I don't need nuthin' else to start me off. Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, An' I don' need no tune at all! Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, An' I don' need no tune at all! I feel it beatin' in my bones, It feel like twen'y millyun tomtoms. I know dere's twen'y millyun tomtoms Beatin' way down deep inside my bones. I feel it beatin' in my heart, An' den I get a kin' o' dream An' in my dream it kin' o' seem Dere's jus' one heart In all de worl'~ Dere ain't but one big heart for all de worl'. Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Dere's one big heart for all de wor'! Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Dere's one big heart for all de worl'! An' now dat heart is beatin' fast, An' dat's a rhythm I kin dance to, I'm mighty glad I got a chance to, Wid dat one big heart dat's beatin' fast. Tomorrow mornin' let it rain, Tomorrow mornin' let it pour, Tonight we's in de groove together~ Ain' gonna worry 'bout stormy weather~ Gonna kick ol' trouble out de door! Beat out ol' trouble on a drum, Beat out ol' trouble on a drum, Beat out ol' trouble on a drum, An' kick his carcass through de door! Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, An' kick ol' trouble out de door! Kick 'im out de door! Kick 'im out de door! Kick 'im out de door!

The dancers look so animated they are a joy to watch

As a child of the 1950's I saw a first run of "Carmen Jones" was fascinated by the STARS HARRY BELAFONTE, was a big recording STAR at the time as was PEARL BAILEY whom I'd also seen on TV and always enjoyed. DOROTHY DANDRIDGE was beautiful but I didn't know a lot about her but knew she should be a STAR and wondered what would her next movie be. DIAHANN CARROLL was OK but hadn't developed into the STAR she was to be. The boxer I'd seen in movies before and liked him but as I walked home from that movie it was PEARL'S "The Beat Of The Drum" that I remembered and wondered did it sell as well as ELVIS "Heartbreak Hotel" or DORIS DAY'S "Shaking The Blues Away" because it was just as enjoyable and I'd also see and hear PEA;RL BAILEY on TV as I walked home trying to sing "The Beat Of The Drum"

Pearl Bailey aslo did a voice of an wise owl in the Disney movie The fox and the hound

The fabulous Peal Bailey, Max Roach, Dorothy Dandridge all in one scene. Of the dashing Harris Belafonte also was in this movie

WOW! Great talent, great movie! ❤❤❤

I love watching them sing and dance, and they're always so happy.

I always come back to this song⭐️

I have always loved this movie since I first saw it on tv when I was a child , im 60 now and still love it !

I never thought that I would like a Mary J. Blige performance ( its a generational thing: I am old enough to remember when the "Wiz" premiered on Broadway, in the 1970s), but, well, I was wrong. She gives a new dimension to the word fierce!

I’d thought I’d seen the entirety of Carmen Jones before but i did last night and there were many scenes I wasn’t familiar with, including this one. I was thinking, I know Pearl Bailey was a singer, but most of the times I’ve seen her in something, she’s just there to act (and she’s good too, especially notable as part of the uniformly excellent cast of Hal Ashby’s ‘The Landlord’, which I also just caught in its entirety for the first time a couple weeks ago (thank you, TCM!). I don’t recall exactly what else I’ve seen her in, Pearl passed in 1990, and I want to say most of the stuff I remember her being in was probably on tv, like maybe on The Flip Wilson Show or another weekly show with comedy skits and/or one or more of the myriad variety shows and tv hour-long specials, and quite possibly one of the afternoon talk shows my grandmother always had on her living room tv , such as Mike Douglas & Merv Griffin. So I’m not overly familiar with anything Ms. Bailey did as a singer in her show business career, but this song, wow, when I caught this last night, I genuinely felt like I was seeing something truly original. I know the film is based on an opera, which is not my everyday music to begin with, and I think I read that Oscar Hammerstein wrote the lyrics sung in the songs in the film, and then the opera’s setting is moved to African-American neighborhoods and assorted settings in the Southern and midwestern United States, so it was bound to grab attention, even if just for the juxtaposition of “High Art” with the working class and military characters performing the opera-based (idk if that’s even an accurate description) numbers as long as the cast could deliver, and they really bring it. … idk, it was new to me, and I was really taken with what amounts to Pearl’s big moment in ‘Carmen Jones’. And that’s Max Roach there, on the kit, correct? Nice touch, having one of the giants of Jazz, not to mention one of the truly great drummers, playing the skins on a song about rhythm. I like the rest of the film too, always have found it a good film, but I think I’d like to own Carmen Jones on blu ray now, if just to have “Beat Out That rhythm On A Drum” to watch in hi-def anytime the mood hits me! Dorothy Dandridge & Harry Belafonte are in it as well 😂 . Like I said, the entire cast is excellent, and it’s a good film, but that Pearl Bailey number really hit me. Harry & Sydney both gone iirc within the past year, in fact last night’s TCM programming was in memoriam Harry Belafonte. I wish some company would figure out how to get out a region A or region-free blu ray of ‘Porgy and Bess’, which I have never seen.

70 years since this movie 🎉 My grandpa was born the same year as Dorothy and passed at 100 🙏 Harry passed last year at 96. Can't believe how fresh everyone looks, the costumes and everything. One of the best movies. If Joe had been able to financially look after Carmen she wouldn't have gone off with Husky because she loved Joe and had to be coerced into being with Husky

I've always admired the lyrical adaptation done for the 1943 broadway production and used in the film as well. One thing that seems off though is that the music was not adapted as well. It just doesn't fit the time & setting, but this number is a testament to the amazing Pearl Bailey's abilities to overcome that. This film looks beautiful and is full of great acting but the old Hollywood trick of dubbing most of the cast (save for Bailey & a few others of course) is a major downfall. Although Marilyn Horne's voice is divine the fact that she is not african american yet singing the lead role for the great Dorothy Dandridge to lip sync to is insulting.

I agree. Honestly, I don't like the practice of replacement dubbing in general. We have a classic musicals club and we watch a musical every other weekend and even when we watch The King and I that's what kept my rating at like a 7. Great film of course! But overdubbing the lead people with replacement vocals is just silly to me when there are people out there who can act and sing well enough for someone to just work a little harder to get it passable with their own vocals.

The original stage concept was to recreate an operatic sound - with contemporary 1940-era slang. Reimagining Bizet's scoring wasn't a priority. Plus, anyone who is whining about "not hearing the actors' original singing voices" is not understanding the business that was (and is) Hollywood. The powers that be made bottom line decisions and wanted what they deemed as a perfect finished product. We can't place 2021 feelings onto something created almost 70 years ago. Dorothy was on the cover of Life magazine, the most influential U.S. periodical of the time, in her Carmen costume. This was unbelievable, a huge step forward for black women to be recognized nationwide. And... Preminger must have been the one with sense enough to show gorgeous Harry B. without his shirt on for one number. The two stars certainly had sex appeal and the director didn't shy away from using it to advantage, another facet not seen in mainstream films of the time. We should be happy the film was even made in 1954!

This film is uber cool- Otto Preminger had an "epiphany " when he began to conceptualize the opera, as contemporary film- love never changes- I love the original Italian opera, the ballet versions -watch Zizi Jeanmaire and this with the divine Harry Belafonte, Pearl Bailey and the beautiful, highly talented and BETRAYED IN REAL LIFE, DOROTHY DANDRIDGE- like Marilyn Monroe- victimized by all around them and in Dorothy's instance- RACISM. She wasn't "black" black- oh Dorothy if I could only reach into Time, a warp, on that fateful night and show you Harry Belafonte's, your co-stars beautiful daughter, Shari- beauty doesn't always fade like old foggies used to say, spitefully- my favorite model, Jean Shrimpton is in her late 70's, a recluse, never seems to go to a hairdresser, or wear makeup, no botox- she's gorgeous-once a blue moon an immoral photographer uses a telephoto lens- still thin and shy-ish- never liked being called The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, she didn't even like modeling-too clever- she saw how fake it all is- people who don't like opera- well dig this- this music - a few drops ended up in boogie woogie etc, "all meat from the same bone" wrote Eric Burdon of music but that extends/applies to people too- I don't care what a geneticist would say- two major strains of DNA, led humanity to break off and blah, blah, blah- I have no grudge against them either- wish I was intelligent enough to be a biologist, anthropologist, geneticist etc- but ATTITUDES CAN CHANGE- Dorothy would be how old now? Harry is what, 95ish- still carries on his civil rights work and he gave the world some great kids too who carry on their father's work- I apologize for "shooting my mouth off" I am right out on a ledge now, holding a large stash of pills- so I CAN dig....Namaste World, give a "-hit, about the person next to you in the grocery line...
