"Boogity Boogity!!!" Here it is! The classic Ray Stevens music video for his smash hit comedy song "The Streak"! www.RayStevens.com www.RayStevensCabaRay.com raystevensmusic1707
First time I've seen the video. Ray Stevens was terrific in an age no longer seen. It's hard to imagine any of his comedic songs playing on the radio today. Their loss.
The month of May 1974 was a special time for "The Streak". It hit #1 on May 18, 1974 for a 3 week stay and went on to sell 5,000,000 copies. It was the #1 novelty song of the entire decade and was among the Top-10 songs of the year in 1974. It reached #1 in Canada and the United Kingdom, too, and the Top-5 in Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.
I laughed when i FIRST heard this song 30 some odd years ago!!!!! I bought it on an original 45 record!!!!!! I liked this video a whole more!!!!!!! Mr. Stevens is a comic music genius!!!!!!!! He had an instant hit in this song!!!!!!!!
Whoo, my mom keeps playing this kind kf stuff all the time (the songs are older than her!) And now that I've found it, I'm gonna be going "boogity boogity" whenever I do dumb stuff in games.
Amazing how well this has aged. A lot of seventies comedy is a little uncomfortable to watch now, and frankly not even that good, but this is still so funny and very well-written. I guess Ray's secret is celebrating his subjects rather than denigrating them; a top bloke, to be sure.
you know, he could never get away with this to day "well once again mr. stevens, you have , pardon the expression, barely stayed within the bounds if what IS permissible lol XD
Apparently streaking was a fad in the 1970s along with those rope plant hanging things and that one dude who became a millionare selling pet rocks with hay beds lol imagine buying a rock inside a store because its in a box and says pet rock on it instead of just picking one up outside.
I remember the students streaking at the strip on Kingston Pike, two little ladies when she saw the streaker, they run off the road.This streaking could happen anytime and anywhere, had a streaker on the foot ball field.
Now a days you can get charged with indecent exposure by streaking which sucks did anyone catch the super bowl this year there was a guy that was streaking
What used to be a funny bit of Americana, laughed at, and relatively harmless, it is no longer is innocent and funny. It can earn you a lifetime place on the roster of sexual offenders.Don't take the dare and run naked through the town square...we Americans don't take our nudity lying down~
Man I used to LOVE Ray Stephens when I was a kid. We still say, in our family till this day, "did ya see what happened? Yeahhhh I did!!"
Great memories sitting around with my grandma and grandpa. Grandpa just laughing so hard. He had the best laugh.
My Grandpa would sing this song and got me hooked on Ray Stevens. Don't look Ethel!!!!! Thanks for posting.
"Pardon me sir, did you see what happend?"
"Yeeaaaah, I did..."
Ray Stevens, you are one of the greatest comedy song writters/singer period...
If he isn’t in a hall of fame. Then he should get his own.

I know its corny by today's standards but Ray is the truest of originals. Great fun from a great guy! God bless you Ray!
I remember this when I was growing up. My Moma loved Ray Stevens...
I remember when this one was in the Top 40 and they played it constantly. STILL FUNNY!!!!!
