I almost did that once, so I got a little thing to keep all my pills in so I don’t eat loose change and buttons...THEN I’d have to go get my stomach pumped! Lol
roger is one of a kind- loved his tunes since I was a little kid. I never tried roller skating in a buffalo herd, i couldn't roller skate on the skating rink!
Thumbs is rockin' that Batman T. I could listen to this song every day for the rest of my life. "This is a hot lick that everybody always enjoys." LOL.
I was so high when I was at my cousins house and this came on and it like opened this part of music appreciation in my mind that had never been touched before hahhaha. This song fascinated me.
Wow!! Just think in 1966 Roger Miller sang a song that was funny, cute and believe it or not, It Wasn't Filled With BAD Words!! Times back then were called the good ole days, gee I wonder why.. Probably bc things have changed so much and time marches on... Thank you for this lovely video and Thank you Roger Miller for making the best songs of days gone by.. RIH!
The higher we get the more informal we are! Oh yeh Roger! Always loved your songs and you are still fondly remembered ! Thanks for posting this , a true classic video. P.S (I know Roger is no longer among the living). Jim
If ever was a person who did not use or tap into all his/her musical talent, this man is it. I always had the feeling he was holding back, and yet he was still one of the most creative and interesting entertainers of his time.
The shirt though. On the Opry. Also this is the internet. Repetition is one of it's main pillars. Without it it would likely collapse. Would some fine thing be built from the recycled rubble? Who knows? But we are here now staring into a magic window to the past at the shirt of a man playing his guitar incorrectly but well.
Happy to say....I remeber seeing this live! I live in the UK now and my English husband loves Raising Hope and he went mad over this song! Yep....the Special Relationship:-)
Me too. It's from a morning show and the whole tape must be out there somewhere. Legend has it that Roger and the boys, not being morning people, got hopped up on pills and never slept the night before this show.
@lokillaZai yeh i saw the show and remembered how much i loved Roger Miller, I got tickets to see him & took my Mom & Dad, thinking they'll love it, but I was awe struck by this Man, he blew me away with his wit, playing the fiddle and guitar and this is coming from a Beatles , Hendrix to Bob Marley Fan.
The most under rated performer ever, his repertoir is enormous.
Yes! He was my songwriting idol and inspired me to write songs. My early performances were filled with a lot of Roger Miller songs.
Thumbs is wearing a batman shirt under a sports jacket - pure class. Love Roger Miller.
Lonnie mack told me thumbs Carlisle..taught willie Nelson much of his style
Read this right before it popped up haha
he once said don't keep your pills in the same pocket you keep your change in, he said he once took 35 cents by mistake.
he had the craziest sense of humor, loved his songs, was sad when he died.
I almost did that once, so I got a little thing to keep all my pills in so I don’t eat loose change and buttons...THEN I’d have to go get my stomach pumped!
Lol
For Roger Miller that sounds about right !
@@TheKiller-yh3pi Buttons can come in handy actually.
@@TheKiller-yh3pi Once Tookn40$ to buy yo-yo’s but I was 12
I have always loved his music. Every now and then, my wife catches me singing engine engine #9. My favorite Roger Miller song. He was truly great.
How about when your parents catch you hammered sing chug a lug 😂
This is without question absolute country gold.. Roger was a machine.. A true legend..
@ (1:08) - "we always do a highly informal show - the higher we get the more informal we are" hahaha
Paul Campo lol
Paul Campo pretty sure he's lit
yep that was the point of my comment...he was pretty much telling everyone watching TV that the band was loaded haha
Lol. RM was “known” by the rat pack to always have the herb. Leave it to an okie boy to bring the sack. Some things never change. ;)
That was about 420 years ago
RIP and long live Roger Miller (January 2, 1936 - October 25, 1992), aged 56
You will always be remembered as a legend.
roger miller would have a guitarist named thumbs that wears a batman shirt. he truly was, and always will be, one of the very best.
"We always have a highly informal show - the higher we get, the more informal we are."

The shirt though. On the Opry.
Also this is the internet. Repetition is one of it's main pillars. Without it it would likely collapse. Would some fine thing be built from the recycled rubble? Who knows? But we are here now staring into a magic window to the past at the shirt of a man playing his guitar incorrectly but well.
Roger Miller was probably the most gifted and versatile country music artist ever.
Search "Roger Miller Opry AM" and it's all there. The whole episode is GOLD
R.I.P I bet he was a fun guy to be around.
