I think this originally came out by Ray Stevens in the 80's? I remember him being quite popular back around then. This version is just brilliant! Tim's voice is perfect for it.
@@Norbrookc...100% agree! I'm sure that's 1 reason they did this with animation because it's hard to imagine them competing with Ray's original video! 🤣
That was such a fun rendition of this song. And loved the animation! Tim is perfect for the narrating of this song. This was originally done by Ray Stevens. He is a country & pop singer-songwriter & comedian known for his novelty hits such as "Gitarzan", "Ahab The Arab", "The Streak" and others.
Ray Stevens not only had a slew of novelty songs ("Along Came Jones", "The Streak", "Gitarzan") but an absolutely gorgeous gospel album and his rendition of "Misty" is unforgettable. He also had a summer replacement TV show (1970?) which also had Mama Cass & Steve Martin. I love the idea of the "First Self-Righteous Church". Thanks for playing it!
I think the old lady was a cartoon character from "Recess" The Mom and Dad at the car were from The Jetsons. Great reaction and great fun. Thanks so much. 😁😁😅 Peace out ✌✌
I am a HUGE fan of Ray Stevens' catalog......lots of "Novelty' songs, songs of 'Social Comment".....he has done videos and animation of some of his songs also.......good to hear this one.....>^^
The original was released in 1984, back when MTV actually showed music videos, and it's hilarious. Home Free did an awesome job. Love Chance on bass and Tim on lead ... essentially an extended Story Time with Tim set to music.
How am I this many years old and never heard this song😳🤦♀️…HF make these type of songs so fun…I had to watch more than once as all I could hear was the background harmonies the first listen…and no hats were worn ☺️❤️‼️
Back in the 70's and early 80's, Ray Stevens did a lot of songs along these lines. His biggest hit was actually a straight song, "Everything is beautiful." He's still around and performing. Check out his UA-cam for a smile.
So much fun. As another reactor said, “Proper goofy”. Hahaha. Tim was great and yes Austin…crazy high there at the end. Good reaction QOFY, have a wonderful weekend!🥰
Home Free did it again!👍👍👍👍👍 This is simply amazing! What a fun animation! 😂 How beautifully done! While watching this animation, the older Home Free videos also came to my mind where Home Free is also in the church. 😉That made me laugh even more. 😅I am alone, but I think if others saw me then, they would think there was something wrong with me. 😊 And as always great singing, the perfect harmony and background vocals, incredible bass and the inhumanly good beatboxing❤❤❤❤❤
That was so much fun. I have a few albums of Ray Steven's and the songs he did. Home Free did this one so good. Tim was perfect. Think I will get out the albums. 😅 Thanks for reacting.
Great Reaction!! Tim is a great storyteller and I love the ad libs that they did.Ray Stevens did this song in 1984. Ray Stevens even left a comment on them doing his song on their page that he loved it
I love this one, with one exception. The "Jetsons" couple. The dad and son look right, but the wife doesn't look like Jane Jetson... She looks like the daughter, Judy. For some reason, that creeps me out. 😂😅 Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention because I got weirded out but it still looks that way to me and I still cringe when it gets to that part! 🤣 Still, a hilarious and cool video. The animation is fun.
@@brendafrazier811 yeah, maybe because the wife was a red head and the daughter was blonde? I'm not entirely sure but it definitely threw me off a bit, lol.
Check out all Home Free reactions 😊 :

I really would love to hear them do "It's me again Margret" 😁😁😁😁

Ray Stevens has lots of songs this is one of the funny ones and that Hanna-Barbera animation style was popular around the same time.
Love their cover. My late husband was from Pascagoula and he loved this song.

HF took us to church with a big old smile on our faces.
Cartoons represented: Jetsons, Flintstones, Looney Tunes, Recess, Rugrats. I thought I might have seen Hey Arnold and others too.
granma getting re baptized is from looney toons , she owned sylvester and tweety, kid is elroy from jetsons and his parents george and jane
Well Rob is in form with his whistling! What a hoot! Remember this from waaay back when!
Leave it to Home Free to give us all a good laugh while giving us all that harmony and TIM FOUST narration! You're the best QoFy💙🎶🎵
Very funny, enjoy!
These guys always make you happy. Just love these guys.❤❤❤
✌🏻😎👍
You missed George Jetson and Granny from Sylvester and Tweety a lot of cartoons lol.
Such a fun song. 🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿 I hope they cover "The Streak!"
George Jetson and Mr. Spacley are at the end. Don’t know if the kid is Elroy.
Kinda looks like BamBam and Elroy. They were drawn the same.
Tim was in the back with Chance. They needed to give him the silver streak and give Adam his bandana
Lots of 'embellished' Hanna-Barbera characters in this video. Fun times.
I love this one, with one exception. The "Jetsons" couple. The dad and son look right, but the wife doesn't look like Jane Jetson... She looks like the daughter, Judy.

I didn’t think it looked like her the first time but on rewatch it does. The hair is just a bit different.
