One of the most beautiful songs ever was done by Ray Stevens. Try "Everything is Beautiful" by Mr Stevens.
And won him a Grammy!
Anything by Ray Steven’s is worth listening to.
Now that you’ve opened the door to Ray Stevens. You gotta check out: The Streak, Shriners Convention, It’s Me Again Margaret.
Ahab the Arab.
Sitting Up With The Dead
Grandpa Voted Democrat
Guitarzan
Power Tools
Thanks Harri!! "Sittin' Up With The Dead" is another good one!!
"Seven deacons and the Pastor got saved." ABSOLUTELY BEST LINE IN THE SONG! LOLOLOL
And we all got rebaptized, whether we needed it or not. :P
And he baptized himself😂
A lot of smiles, back in the day, whenever a Ray Stevens novelty song came on the radio.
The Streak
Shriners Convention
The Haircut Song
Guitarzan
Ahab the Arab
Take the plunge!
Get Your Tongue Out of my mouth (I'm Kissing You Goodbye)
Dont forget "It's Me Again Margaret"
No one could make me laugh as Ray Stevens. Thank you for the laughs today. I needed him.
😂😂So hilarious, I remember that from back in the day . Still funny now . Thanks Harri
Ray Stevens, Bobby Bare, The Big Bopper and C.W. McCall are just some of the folks that made southern country music great
I was born in Pascagoula in 1957. My dad was the pastor of a Baptist church there. We loved this song. My dad passed away a couple of years ago, followed by mom 13 days later.
You just can't beat Ray Stevens voice. He has the most perfect voice for uplifting music. Try any of his songs and videos. He was so humorous. He's one of my favorites. I own his albums and listen to them as I drive.
Ray has a great catalog of novelty songs. For a sweeter example, try "Everything Is Beautiful".
Ray stevens is really good at story telling
"The First Self Righteous Church" gets me every time! Thank you Harri!
Ray is great and a very nice man
Ray Stevens has a beautiful voice with his more serious music and is a master of hilarious songs like this one.
Because Ray Stevens is so funny and has so many novelty songs, it's too easy to overlook his musical talent. He has such a beautiful voice and has composed some absolutely lovely songs. Love that you noticed!
Harri, What you have here is the "KING" of the novelty songs. This song has nothing to do with the holidays its just a fun song to listen to 🎶🎶👊🏾Nice reaction.
As someone who was born in Pascagoula, this is my favorite Ray Stevens song. Thanks for helping me smile today, Harri!😁
I was also born in Pascagoula, and this is my favorite Ray Stevens song as well. 😊❤
The name Pascagoula is the icing on the cake for this song.
All of his comedy song’s and video’s are excellent!
You will really enjoy Ray Stevens “The Streak” and “Hello Margaret” He is hilarious
My dad memorized every word of this song and used to sing it to me and my three brothers growing up! 😂 always brings back some fun memories when I come across this song!
What a great, hilarious, fun song! Wonderful choice and commentary! Thanks Harri and Annie 🌺✌️
Glad you enjoyed it!😅
Ray Stevens is really a master of things like this.
he is such a great musician, and a fantastic lyricist. every line in his songs says something hilarious. you cant help but smile, laugh, sing and dance whenever one of his songs come on. his greatest hits cassette got me through four years of high school h3ll. please check out "Sitting Up With the Dead". again, his writing is top-notch and the video will definitely crack you up. so happy that you liked this.
You are going to have to delve into many things Ray Stevens now...he was also born in the same town as Ray Charles..Albany GA.
I remember The Streak being very popular and funny in the seventies. Another good one is Juanita And The Kids.
As a kid we were out of power for a week but we had the radio going on batteries and every morning at 8am they played this song. It was funny. And it made us smile. Ray Stevens music does that. You should play more of his music.
He had a lot of these funny songs, but I think this was my favorite!
I LOVE that song, I've listened to it since i was a kid! Thank you for the video!
I still love parodies and funny songs. I had 45's of Ray Stevens! He ALWAYS made me laugh. Yes I'm a weird Al fan, but Ray Stevens was FIRST!
Ray Stevens on the top of his form.
If you like this one, you will really like another Ray Stevens classic called "Sittin' Up With the Dead." Ray Stevens also did serious songs and had a few hits there as well. A great example of this is his #1 hit "Everything is Beautiful."
I love this song!
I started listening to you because of your moody blues videos.
We had a squirrel lose in our church....during the service.
We didnt have a revival, but it was a memorable service.
Very cute song. My son got to meet Mr Stevens while he was selling insurance. said Mr.Stevens was a real nice guy.
I love Ray Stevens get a lot of fun songs you got some serious ones too. One of my I really like was called Mr. businessman it’s well worth a listening to.
Bwahaha. Nice one . Blue cyclone by Ray is funny as shite too ☘️🇺🇲
❤😊 Thank you, a good way to start the morning.
Check out The Streak
Don’t look Ethel! But I was too late…
I remember listening to Ray Stevens growing up- he definitely had some funny stuff back in the day. Gotta check out The Streak, Shriner's Convention and Ballad of the Blue Cyclone
LOL.. too funny
Need to watch Sitting up with the Dead
YES!!! RAY STEVENS 😂😂😂
Not only was his songs a part of my childhood but also his Flav-O-Rich commercials are burned in my brain.
To this day his "Flaaaayyyy Voooohhh Riich" still pops in my head on occasion 🤣🤣🤣
Ray Stevens one of the greats, he has serious songs as well as his silly songs.
Now THAT’S one great song!!!!!
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful reactions. You were the very 1st reaction I ever saw. You reacted to Stairway to Heaven. It was great. Music during my era was really good. You might want to try Ram Jam singing "Black Betty". Have a good day, sir.
Next try Jim Stafford's "Wildwood Flower/Weed" another novelty song from the same era, and one of my childhood favorites eventhough I had no idea it was about Marijuana, lol.😊
You should check out more of his book…funny. Thanks for bringing some of the odd ones!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this song and the video.
Now you should check out "I'm My Own Grandpa" by Ray Stevens. It's pretty funny
Yes, look for the version with the diagram video.
@@patrickarts9091 Agreed!
Was going to say! Hilarious lyrics by Shel Silverstein, and it's definitely a song that forces you to think, too. LOL. Can't be missed!
@@gj8683 Oh yeah, I forgot Shel Silverstein wrote the original poem. Very clever writing. Thanks for the reminder
Anytime you're having a bad day, just listen to some Ray Stevens. You'll be laughing in no time.!
The Ballad of Cactus Pete and Lefty is probably my favorite from Ray Stevens. I never realizes that he was such a good singer - always remembered him for the comedy.
thx you way too funny .. great beat ..🤣🤣
this is my favourite Ray Stevens song. Home Free did a cover of it and the harmonies are great. thanks for this one, Harri
And for those who don't know, Home Free is acapella (except on a very few songs), and the video is animated, with characters based on many of the prominent cartoon styles of the 90s.
Thanks for sharing! Sittin’ Up With The Dead is another great one!
Ray Stevens is the best!! Home Free did a cover of this one & it's just as hilarious 😂❤
Hilarious!
I grew up in Mississippi.. Believe me, he did't have to do much research to find those characters. You couldn't throw a brick without hitting a self-righteous church-goer.
I was born a Methodist preacher's kid in Iowa. I knew a bunch of people even as far north as 45 miles shy of the Minnesota border who would kinda deserve a squirrel climbing up their "Sunday best" to humble their self-righteous ways.
You find that high-horse sort of people everywhere...*sighs* 🙄 I'd rather commune with the squirrels. At least they're entertaining and cute. 😅
I'm glad you noticed the name of the church. Many listeners don't notice the sarcastic name.
He had hits in the U.K. with The Streak and Everythin is Beautiful. And the comments here have reminded me of others that were certainly played on the radio here, Misty and I’m my own Grandma. Never heard this squirrel one before though. Thanks! Thinking of quirky songs has reminded me of Jake Thackeray and ‘$ister Josephine’ - That’s one you should check out, Harri!
You’re going to love him ! The streak ?!
The very first 45 that I ever bought was The Streak by Ray Steven’s.
Ray Stevens is a master of comedic songs. The Streak, Guitarzan, Ahab the Arab, and The Shriner's Convention, just to name a few. Also check out Roger Miller with King of the Road and You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd.
Ray Stevens is an all time Comedy song writer. Let me give you some of his others which are my favorite:::""They call him the Streak, Ahab the Arab, When you get a Haircut, Shriners Convention."".. Can really tell it Harri when you enjoy a song
Ray is a singer/songwriter & has a long list of songs.
"Everything is beautiful"
"Turn your radio on"
"Misty"
"Mr. Businessman"
Funny ones:
"The streak "The U.S.S.R."
"Ahab the Arab "Guitarzan" "the Shriners convention" "the pirate song (I want to sing and dance)"
"the haircut song "
It's Me Again Margaret" "The Ballad of the blue Cyclone part 1 and 2"
The Dooright Family"
& many, many more!
For a different side of Ray Stevens try his version of "Misty" (which he won a Grammy Award for) or "Everything is Beautiful".
Oh this was great. You have to try "sitting up with the dEad" by ray stevens sometime. It's absolutely worth it. ❤
Mr. Businessman is one of the best songs he ever did. Also Jeremiah Peabody's polyunsaturated, fast actin', quick dissolvin', pleasant tasting green and purple pills! And Would Jesus Wear a Rolex...
Ray Stevens was a master of the novelty song, but he also did serious music, too. Enjoy this rabbit hole.
Want to know something 'interesting' I live in Pascagoula Mississippi ;-)
watch The Streak, my great-grandfather would only play Ray Stevens in his car and its all great
Ray Stevens is one of the cleverest lyricists and performers ... Check out Doctor Dimento song collections!
Try "I'm My Own Grandpa" by Ray Steven's and "Everything is Beautiful"... it a beautiful non parody song of Ray Steven's as well
Don't miss out on Ahab The Arab and Guitarzan. Both were hilarious hits for Ray. You would also laugh at Jim Stafford's Wildwood Weed
"I'm my own grandpa " is a funny one of his.
Guitarzan was his most fun song.
Hey Harri, you should check out "It's Me Again, Margaret" lol It's hilarious!
He is a relative of mine. Some how through the Ragsdale family line. 😊
Very long deep dive into greatness. The Streak (yes it was a thing in the 70s). Ahab the Arab, It's me again ,Margaret, Shriners Convention .......so much. He is actually still making music however he is retiring this year.
The Butterfly Eff-- Well, the Squirrel Effect in this case.
You would probably really like Yebba's video Evergreen. There's not only a choir, but backup singers filmed in a church.
I'm not Christian, but his song "Would Jesus Wear a Rolex on His Television Show" is a great commentary on the church.
You would love his I want to sing and dance.or would Jesus wear a rolex
You haven't seen his "The Streak" "Don't look Ethel" :)
I've always wondered if the fifty who volunteered for missions in the Congo did so because of sister Bertha's testimony 😂.
The Indigo Girls have a novelty song "Airplane" that I think you would enjoy.
Sittin up with the dead.. Hilarious
check out Ray's "Sitting Up With The Dead".
He made so many funny songs...Aham the Arab way in in the sixties, the one about the Streaker ect ect. We're he's always yelling to his wife not to look...this guy needs to check out Al Yankavik...and all his Paradies like EAT IT ( instead of Beat It) and so many more....Jerry Reed made several funny type songs also. 6:07 6:07 6:07
No holidays, just a joke. Comedy.
😂😂😂 Try his song "It's Me Again Margaret". The video is funny.
No lie, this really happened....one time I went to visit my cousins in Southeastern Kentucky and we were at church and we could hear from outside a man was moaning and crying for help. The people thought he was filled with the Holy Spirit and got so much more excited. Then when church was over and everyone went out, the man who had been moaning and crying was still shaking, holding the butt of a cigarette and on the ground in front of him was a huge copperhead snake. It was the time of the summer when snakes shed their skin. He could not see the man but he knew the man was there. The man wasn't moving anywhere.
most of his songs are humor the streak is hilarious
Listen to his songs The Streak and Sitting Up with the Dead. 😂
You will not go wrong with any Ray Stevens song you happen to listen to. However, my favorite is The Streak.
He has other funny videos. Two of his best are: "Sitting up with the Dead" and "The Streak".
Check out his song Fred..he was a good dog😂😂😂
Try " the streak" by Ray Stevens
If you like choirs, . . . try some " Choir! Choir! Choir! / Colin Hay - Men At Work "Overkill" .
Ray Stevens "The Streak"
