You should listen to his "Sitting Up With The Dead" for another funny song. But if want to hear his true voice you need to listen to "Everything is Beautiful".
He was primarily known for his silly/novelty songs. Two of the best are: “The Mississippi Squirrel Revival” czcams.com/video/K16fG1sDaGu/video.html -and- “The Streak” czcams.com/video/XtzoUu7w-YM/video.html
Ray Stevens specialized in hilarious and on occasion disturbing. The ones that come to my North Mississippi squirrel which I like absolutely hilarious and there was one on the Shriners convention with the immortal mind hey coy how'd you get that big old motorcycle up in your motel room. He's made his career on parodies and hilarity and I love him for it. Good reaction guys all the look on Keith's face the first time he said it's me again Margaret was absolutely.
Ray Stevens was known firrel vivalor his tongue in cheek humor and ridiculous songs. Loved every one, none better than Margaret and The Squirrel revival.
LOL! Keith's "what the fuck?" was priceless! And this version is somewhat different wording than the version I grew up listening to on the radio -- there was no barking like Rin Tin-Tin, but rather a "betcha can't guess what I'm doin'" and the original version had peach preserves not cool-whip
Ray is absolutely nuts. "FRED" A story about his talking dog LMAO. He actually has a good singing voice. "EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL ". I took the Best of Ray Stevens, and Roger Miller with me to Desert Storm. Definitely needed all the laughter I could get.
There's a saying, "It's erotic if you're using a feather, it's kinky if you're using the whole damn chicken." I don't know anything beyond the saying...have no idea what the chicken is used for and for the sake of my sanity, I don't want to know. There's also a version where he says 'peach preserves' instead of cool-whip. You really need to watch Mississippi Squirrel. The lady that plays Margaret is in it as well. I believe she plays 'Sister Bertha-Better-Than-You'. It's so damn funny. Ray Stevens is a genius when it comes to these funny, storytelling songs. Another pretty funny story song is "What Happens In Mexico" by Toby Keith. The video is great.
Ray Stevens is funny as hell! Dustin I had the same VHS tape! We wore that tape out. 🤣 You should also check out his "#1 with a bullet" CD! I like his songs... Juanita and the kids and Power Tools. 🤣
I had the Ray Stevens video cassette that Dustin's talking about the list of songs was the streak, It's Me Again Margaret, Mississippi Squirrel, Santa Claus is watching you and the only serious song that he ever did called Everything Is Beautiful that being said my top three recommendations that are must do for him are the streak, Mississippi Squirrel and sitting up with the Dead
Ray did do regular songs. A few are; "Misty" "Turn your Radio on" "Mr. Bussiness man" And "Everything is beautiful" Not sure how many albums he did. But most fans wanted him to do funny songs. So he gave in & did all comedy albums in the 80's. Did you know he does all the voices & sound effects himself. Wish l could of seen him live.
I love Ray Stevens. There are so many if his ... Ahab the Arab, Everything is Beautiful, The Streak, ... the list goes on. I would also like to recommend "Elvira" The Oak Ridge Boys "Counting Flowers on the Wall" The Statler Brothers "Wine Beer Whiskey" Little Big Town
They said Stephen and I was working up to crying again lol, love me some Ray Stevens (reminds me of my Dad)! I've been learning about these Texas bourbon whiskeys the last few days, Thank You 😊
Guys Dustin and Keith are Bourbon Contry Reacts. I am the new bourbon king, used to be called shot King when I went to bars. Not anymore I sit in the corner now an days
Over the years, they've cut a section out of this song. I haven't been able to find the original. It's another phone call where he says "It's me again Margaret. Bet ya can't guess what I'm doin". There is a version on a Dr. Demento album, which is where I heard it, back in the 80s.
Thank you so much! All of his songs are great! I actually found a new release from him a couple of days ago called “The Quarantine Song”. So, what a coincidence that you’re reacting to him. I’m so glad!
Hello , i like your reaction, i request to react on this song "yeh dunya" from "coke studio 14" You will also like all other "coke studio 14 " songs For example one song "mehram" has a Grammy nominated singer singing in that song. Lots of appreciation from Pakistan
Hahaha I still have those reels as you say, the original motion pictures. Have VCR movies, have 8 tracks, have cassettes, have cassettes, damn I am old. Even the old vinyl players, remember my first record player was a snoppy red baron record player, still have it and it works.
@@BourbonCountryReacts so very true Keith, music just sounds way better on vinyl than digital. But of course live is always best. Hell I still remember back in the day put the tape recorder up next to the speaker and recording my favorite songs, calling the radio station and requesting songs so I could record them. Today's generation has no idea of the pains we did to get music.
Local rock DJs knew me by name due to that. Because I was always requesting things that were "harder" than their normal genre. Getting a radio station in WV to play Metallica in 1988 was near impossible. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts I bet, hell probably even hard now an days, visited a friend in Elkins, WV and when I drove up there all I heard in the back of my mind was the dueling banjos
All Ray Stevens songs are hilarious 😂 I died laughing to Mississippi Squirrel revival. I’ve been binge watching you guy’s because mainly you review country. I unsubscribed from the other one it was just a mess. I have binge watched all weekend and Keith your ear for music is so spot on. My Dad taught me a lot and even how to sing. I like to comment so I hope I don’t bother you all. Will be sending some bourbon for some Michael Ray 😉
They downgraded country and wouldn’t finish the songs. They would be like “aww hell no I can’t listen to this sh!+ any longer” and cut it off. The only one they liked was Fancy Like by Walker Hayes and gave it an 8 out of 10 on their scale. That’s how they rated was 1-10.
@@BourbonCountryReacts They're used to me saying weird stuff like "sunnuva fruit loop flavored poptart!" And "cheese and rice." Or "sunnuva biscuit eating monkey!" (I have creative language. Haha)
cassette tapes, yeah. I grew up on Ray Stevens and Jerry Clouwer and boy oh boy oh boy some of those song/skits did NOT AGE WELL. HooooOOOOoo boy. But they were both funny as hell. Take a listen to "camping trip" but not the music video...the recording is much better than the the album is called "Surely You Joust" It aged well! Also Sitting Up With the Dead...that one's hilarious....at least to me. and Southern Air, and finally "The Night That Me And Doris Went Running Through The Forest" Which speaks for itself.
Also, before cassette tapes there were 8 Tracks...they were about the size of a cel phone and you had to rewind them with a pencil...I still have a few just because. I also still have my record player...the full sound is much better than what comes on a CD...
That was how I first heard Pink Floyd. Legit, was walking home from school, and found an 8 track of Animals laying beside the road on the way home. Threw it in dad's 8 track player. I remember thinking, "This is weird." - Keith
Stevens is absolutely amazing! But I probably would have started with something a bit more normal like The "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" or "Juanita".
