"Roll On (18-Wheeler)", "If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)", "The Closer You Get", "Mountain Music" are probably some of the highlights, but they do have 40+ #1 hits so that's gonna be a long list if you wanted to listen to just the #1s even. :)
We didn't have AC at home growing up. I don't think i knew anyone that had whole house AC. Just window units. Now it's fairly common and not too terribly expensive to add it.
I worked an overnight shift (back in the 80s) and my co-workers insisted on listening to the Alabama catalog as their music choice. I didn't like the tunes at first, but they got my toes tappin' and pretty soon I was on the Alabama bandwagon. We didn't have A/C either - I'd sleep over with friends that did.
And Dixieland delight of course! All of there songs are so great! I went and seen them last Sunday. They are older now but still legends.
Robot Elvis is an awesome addition to the bunker.
If I remember correctly often times especially smaller towns the movie theaters would be the first places with air conditioning. So having that on a sign used to be fairly common as it was a big selling point. Similar to how hotels and motels used to tout having cable television and then "premium channels" like HBO.
Little Debbie Park is the sweetest park man have ever visited! What a yummy place to play!🍫
"Take me to your leader" is a science-fiction cartoon catchphrase, said by an extraterrestrial alien who has just landed on Earth in a spacecraft to the first human they happen to meet. In cartoons, the theme is frequently varied for comic effect, such as a pun on the phrase to suit the setting, or the alien addressing an animal or object they assume is an earthling.
It is believed to have originated in a 1953 cartoon by Alex Graham in The New Yorker magazine. The cartoon depicted two aliens telling a horse "Kindly take us to your President!"
Mountain Music is a good Alabama song. Thanks for posting a video that is not a haunt.
Thanks for coming to alabama. Finally someone doing a state that CZcamsrs dont cover. I cant really understand why cause they are lots of crazy,fun and unexpected things and people here. I hope to see you doing more of alabama. ❤❤❤
I won’t go to Alabama, because my Xwife is there somewhere. And if you live in Alabama.. I suggest you run 😮
@@allensherrill850 why do you say run?? 😆 🤣 😂
All of Alabama’s music is great.
Elvis has left the building......😁
I am also 43 and remember the lack of AC. I grew up in Connecticut and the humidity was brutal. We all used those huge box fans with the fake wood trim. In the 90s my grandparents installed central air and on really hot days my parents would drive us over there so we could all sit in the AC at least for a few hours. Other than that we'd spend a lot of time jumping in the lake or long island sound to try to stay cool. 😂
Finally someone who appreciates A/C as much as me lol
Nutty buddies and Swiss rolls are my favorite Debbie cakes
Do you just snarf the Swiss Roll end-to-end, or do you have a compulsion to nibble the chocolate off and then unroll the cake? (I'm not happy unless I unroll them.)
@@maryblaufuss7533 i dip mine in milk then eat them end to end
Debbie is still alive. She just retired from the board of directors of McKee.
“Song of the South” by Alabama. You won’t regret it💜
It's so awesome that they gave you the Elvis head. Now, Jen will have someone to talk to while you're gone!😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
elvis head looks creepy though.
That’s exactly what I was thinking !
Song of the South, or Roll on. Both great songs from Alabama
I'm 55 I was so happy when we got our first air conditioner
I will be 65 in May and I have never had air conditioning. I do have 2 fans and was given a very small window unit that doesn't do much if we put it in. I guess you get used to not having it because the heat doesnt bother my room mate and me.
Jacob,I so agree when I was growing up i only had swamp coolers and open windows and sometimes going to bed miserable sweating horribly 😢😢😢thank goodness not anymore air-conditioning all the way 🎉🎉😂
Whoa!! That was a great ending with Elvis, he will look great in your bunker!
Grew up on a fruit farm in Michigan. We had no air conditioning or central heat. We heated the entire house with a fire in the fireplace that had registers in each room. It was a big farmhouse. I had my own room and we each had a box fan in our rooms. It was 70’s. And yes, it does get extremely hot here in Alabama. I would not have a clue what the last movie would have played there. Maybe Raiders of the Lost Ark lol ?
I like Christmas in Dixie by Alabama. Also Dixieland Delight.
My dad and my uncle LOVE Little Debbie’s cosmic brownies when they were kids. Hope you have a great day Jacob!
Air Conditioning!!! ❤ 🧊🐻❄️. Dont forget to wash / change the filters, AC fins.
Warn Jen that there is going to be another man in the. House ❤!!!
He’s gotta buy that Elvis head for Jenn!
Okay Jacob Listen to Alabama’s Song of The South, I used to sing it to my daughter when she was a baby. I was pregnant with her she went with us to the Erie County Fair to see them. Unfortunately my daughter Paige passed away on March 1, 2008 of a massive seizure that stopped her heart, at 5 years old. I couldn’t listen to that song for the longest then one day had myself a good cry in the car and was able to listen to it. Yes we did visit the statues in Alabama of Alabama too! We also went to Old Car City in White, Georgia my sister has taken lots of photos there and her Fiancé grew up next door!
I love song of the south !! ❤️❤️
I'm not much older than you Jacob and I remember that my father would not buy an air conditioner, microwave, or drip coffee maker.
Not that these items were not available but just that my parents had no interest in buying them ... they used box fans in the windows, cooked all meals on the stovetop or in the oven, and my father woke every morning at 5am to percolate a full pot of coffee that was heated up all day long on the gas stove.
My glory day was moving out of my parents home and getting my own place.
Great video Jacob, I wish we had Attractions like that here safe travels my friend.
We did not have ac when I was growing up. I remember hanging my head out the window trying to breathe. It was horrible.
27:40 is one of my favorite Carpetbagger screenshots. Just sittin' there, taking a break, having a snack while sitting on a tasty treat on an absolutely gorgeous day!!!
We had one AC window unit in our living room, so my parents let us sleep there in the summer. We saw it as an adventure.
When you go to Helen, Georgia please go back to Babyland General in Cleveland and take Jenny Penny with you. She will love it there.
Ahhhh you’re in my neck of the woods now! Gadsden has some haunted buildings there in the city…there’s one business there that has regular ghostly occurrences. There was a segment about it on a tv show once. How exciting that you were here! Alabama’s first #1 song was Tennessee River. They are country/bluegrass.
That’s a fun idea to visit a few haunted buildings in Gadsden, Alabama. Just show us what they look like a a couple of stories. That would be interesting but not too scary. 👍
I just had my first Christmas tree cake of the season wohooo
What a lovely gift to be given to you..!!!! Nice friends... I hope you and Jenn are both keeping well. XXX
Its cool he came to Chattanooga. I live just 10-15 minutes away in soddy daisy.
Oh goodness. My favorite snacks. Can u request they bring back BANANA TWINS ..I miss them terribly. I bought 4 boxes of my all time favorite holiday treat ---- the white chocolate covered CHRISTMAS TREES 🌲
You should of stopped by the Little River Canyon...the waterfall is AWESOME!! Especially after a heavy rain!
OH the mammories...I I mean memories!! lol
That air condition monument is cool. I love museums to.
Great video..lots of interesting stuff. One ofAlabamas songs .I enjoy is called Dixieeland delught..also Mountian music..Enjoy...Much love and respect from Maine🦞
The flag on the right in the chapel is still leaving the question unanswerable. My brother who's now in college asked my mother about the flag that always accompany the American flag dubbed the Star-spangled Banner (Old Glory).
The phrase is an adaptation of this line in the Alex Graham cartoon published in New Yorker magazine in 1953: “Take me to your President” became “take me to your leader” and appeared in numerous other cartoons, movies, plays, and other popular media.
Fishing in the dark , truly any of there songs
Apparently, the origin of "Take me to your leader" was from a 1953 cartoon by Alex Graham in the New Yorker magazine, which features two aliens landing on Earth and asking a horse to "Kindly take us to your President!"
Nice research
Awesome video Jacob! HUzzah for AIR CONDITIONING!
Good for you for getting healthy. I started Ozempic in April. I'm diabetic. I lost 60 lbs. 150 lbs today. Goal is 135 lbs.
So I've seen a car in a building and a rock in a building. I love your "odds and ends" videos.
A/C still isn't common in homes in Europe. I've been there twice and my hotels didn't have A/C, nor did the public transportation. I was burn in the '60's and I remember we had one A/C. In mom and dad's room. The kids made due with a box fan between two rooms. lol
ooowwweeeee Little Debbie Little Debbie!! 😆 Southern Culture On The Skids - Camel Walk 🎶🐪
Cosmic brownies and strawberry short cake rolls fudge rounds my top 3👍
AC is a most great invention EVERR. Since I am from Asia, things really hot down here and AC is a compulsory in store and restaurants. I know you really put some effort into the video when you buying the snack at the gas station only for visiting the park 😙😙 Also congratulations for hitting 480k subscribers
Sweet music 😊
I'm Australian. We're heading into the warmer months here, and I have a brain condition that doesn't cope with the heat. So air conditioning is going to be my best friend. I have a small portable air-conditioner.
@-officialTheCarpetbagger-funny howthis is, you're not the official Carpetbagger. His tag doesn't have any - or the word official
Angels among us 😊
Omg! That Elvis is awesome and a tad creepy. He’s perfect for the new house. 😂
Thank you for sharing this great video. I love the Elvis animatronic.
Cool video Jacob. According to Wikipedia, both Milford and Sally's ashes are buried in the rock. So that plaque is his headstone.
You can’t always trust Wikipedia. They let anyone from the public edit articles. It’s good for random rabbit holes though
I had no clue there was a Little Debbie park. I miss the Apple Flips the most!..... also the brownies with walnuts. My daughter has a Little Debbie Barbie! Thanks for the adventure!
Dude for real? Alabama is legit. Just Spotify the greatest hits. Incredible
Fiddle in the Band is my favorite song from Alabama.
Always a good day when Jacob gets more things for the bunker.
I know exactly how you feel The Carpetbagger, I've been working on not consuming any sugary drinks lately, specifically energy drinks since I do not want to get an upset stomach It's been a week now and I'm hoping to continue drinking water as I have been, but eventually my goal is to go completely sober from them too once I move to Alabama in the future with my family. Best of luck to you with cutting sugar out of your diet, it can be tough but I know it can be done
They’re called Christians Tree Cakes and as I was looking them up I see they are $2 a box. No wonder why Little Debbie’s rules the snack cake empire. Who can compete with that?
I love interacting interesting people.
I love the hat and the sideburns and I definitely love little Debbie Snacks 😍 Cakes!
I am from Alabama and when I was 12 my family moved into a home that had no central air conditioning. All we had was an attic fan. My mom would open all the windows in the house and turn on that attic fan and surprisingly sometimes at night it could get a little chilly. But most of the time we were hot. As an adult fortunate enough to live in a home with air conditioner because that heat and humidity of the South can be bad. I live south of Birmingham Alabama but my favorite place to vacation is the Smoky mountains so I know that drive very well from Gadsden to fort Payne past Georgia to Chattanooga. My family always stops in Chattanooga because it is the halfway point from my house to Pigeon forge.
Like these videos where you just travel and discover reminds me of your earlier days really enjoy them.
Alabama - “I’m In A Hurry” - listen! 👍
Love Alabama. Great group. Listen to Tennessee River.
It is believed to have originated in a 1953 cartoon by Alex Graham in The New Yorker magazine. The cartoon depicted two aliens telling a horse "Kindly take us to your President!" By May 1957, when the Mr. Zero episode of the Adventures of Superman aired, the phrase was already a popular cliché.
Hi Jacob I can not believe you do not know an Alabama song Play me some mountain music is one they are an awesome band. I worked foe Little Debbie for 37 years and drive by the park at least one time a week and yes Little Debbie is real person And very nice to meet!!!
On the topic of AC It's actually crazy my grandmother when I was a kid living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Grandparents house had multiple window units in most of the rooms in the summer. Since the house was a brick build it would get really warm. Sometimes we will joke saying I sweat it off most of my weight who needed to go to the gym. Just sit in the house for an hour sweat it off lol
I live in Gasden! Was shocked to see you in my town. If I had known I would of LOVED to have met you! Wish you had stopped off at the falls! And you need to try Milo's!
Alabama music group are larger then life! They have been one of my favorites for a long, long time! Listen to Angel's Among Us! All of there songs are awsome!❤
If you in collagedale ,tn any day but Saturday there is a little debbie store up the road. It is open Sunday thru Friday. Them big cosmic brownies are too much chocolate. The little Dibble store has Christmas tree cakes since July. Now the other store are getting them.
@-officialTheCarpetbagger- hey one day you to go down us 41 from chattanooga,tn to marietta,ga it is the old dixie hwy . it is 90 miles long. you went on the alternate route on your dixie hwy vlog.
"Sweet home alabama" will always be my favs
40 Hour Week, Angels Among Us, are just 2 of the songs you should listen to from Alabama
BTW. Looking much healthier. I gotta follow your lead
OMG! I wish I had known you were in my hometown of Gadsden! Me and my 7 year old love you!
I’m 52. I grew up in Georgia and I didn’t have air conditioning until I was 32.
I want more old man rants. So funny. 😂😂😂 I love leap day. A whole free day.
I really liked the Little Debbie Park. Thanks for visiting there.😊
Alabama is my favorite band
I have been to 17 concerts
It is hard to pick just one song since I love all of their songs. Mountain music was the first song I heard . I really loved the vocals of Jeff Cook but sadly he passed away
Alabama song - the closer you get ,they sing country was extremely popular in the 80s, they were the first concert I went while in high school. ❤️
With the country group Alabama you need to listen to ‘there are song Angels among us’, You’ll really appreciate it Jacob but I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of them before you just didn’t realize it but thank you for showing these type of videos because I’m not a Halloween person and because of that, I prefer not to partake in any kind of participation in it, not saying that others don’t appreciate it, but I truly prefer these type of videos that you’ve been showing, so thank you so much for showing these other videos that you have. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work and be safe❤🤠
They are called Christmas Tree Cakes. Those I can still eat and enjoy, but I agree about all the other snacks you tried.
At 15:00, if you read the sign at the robots feet backwards, it says Dustin Dana April.
Those Alabama statues are cool! You've never heard their songs?! Wow! Their album Feels So Right meant a lot to me when I was a kid. Ride The Train is a really good song.
Little Debbies are tasty but way too sweet! TY Jacob!
Jacob the Carpetbagger was in my town, and I missed him!!
Fort Payne is my home town!! I hope they made you feel welcome. Randy, Teddy, and Jeff stayed in the area after their glory days. There was some big drama with the other guys trying to rip off Mark a few years ago.
“Take Me to your leader” came from an Alexander Graham cartoon that was in the New Yorker in the 50s. It was a “spaceship” with the caption “Take me to your president”. At least I think that’s what it is….
Alabama just lost Mr. Cook not long ago. MY home in Alabama, Tennessee River, Feel so right. The 80's man
We were gonna go down to Collective Clothing to see the animatronic Elvis and then we saw you took him lol.
Come see us anyway! We have other fun things to see! And are constantly switching things up!
@@collectiveclothing we need too. We live in Chattanooga and haven’t been in a while
"Christmas in Dixie" is by Alabama. Gets a lot of air time here at Christmas. 👍
Lirpa-Anad-Nitsud is Dustin Dana April spelled backwards. My guess is that it's the artist's kids' names. I really like Alabama's music, and I'm not even a huge fan of country music. One song that stands out for me is "Mountain Music", and I often listen to their Christmas album around Christmastime. It's a very good Christmas album.
The members of Alabama still live here. Ft.Payne and surroundings. Mountain Music.
every fall i allow 1 box of Pumpkin delights
Good Evening Jacob 🙋🏽
The last movie I saw in the theater at bottom of Noccalula mountain in Gadsden Alabama was Return of the Jedi.
Love Little Debbie nutty buddy bars!
Me toooo
We didn’t get AC until I was 12. That AC unit was still working but my parents just replaced it. I never liked the Little Debbie brownies. Nutty Buddies & Christmas Trees were my favorites. If you go the the grocery store they have the Christmas Trees already 😆 Did you ever have TastyKake out of PA, they had my favorite flavors overall. ❤
