      Scientific studies prove that Guitarzan, Ahab the Arab, and Everything Is Beautiful are three of the greatest songs ever written! This audio video is absolutely fabulous too! Back in `74, Ray had us all running but naked down the street singing "Yes, they call him the streak", legendary, good times, lol! Great video, thanks for posting!

    I remember the first time I heard a Ray Stevens song. It was "The Streak" and it was on the Looney Tunes album. Then I found my mother's "Shriner's Convention" album, and wore that thing out. Over 40 years later, and Ray Stevens is still putting a smile on my face with his music!

      Oh my I can remember back in the 70's either it was a special or Ray had his own variety show back then. I remember the Streak very well. My entire family was laughing uncontrollably from that skit. " Ethel is that you" ? "It was too late she had already been mooned".

Then when I was a teen into my twenties, his dad brought his lawn equipment to the small engine shop I worked at. My boss asked him about his nice shiny pickup truck that Ray bought him. Then in my 20s and 30s I worked for his first cousin Glen. He has been a hero of mine for a long time. Folks say they knew him back when he was still a Ragsdale. God bless Ray and his great family. Theyre all great people.

    Holy moly, heard this wonderful man's music all my childhood! I am absolutely tickled he is still at it! And with all the same humor as always, right when we sure could use it most! Thanks, Ray, for all the years of memories!

    Love you, Ray! We used to take family vacations listening to our family favorites of yours in the car. It shortened the distance through western Kansas into eastern Colorado and back again. You and your music are a Class A act!

    This song is both funny and sad. He's used the names Bubba and Charlene in other songs. It reminds me a little bit of politics. Many candidates switched parties to get more support. Keep those songs coming, Ray. You're still my favorite singer.
