    Anyone that grew up in the rural south east of the USA can relate to this song. A squirrel loose in our little country churches would, indeed, cause a revival. Never know what and who the Lord might use to shake us up a bit.

    My oldest brother (god rest his soul) loved doing Ray's songs he had a bunch of 45's of his. My brother had a sense of humor just like Ray's he kept us laughing our asses off. Ray Steven's is just a card and fun to listen to. Check out his numerous songs and you just can't help but laugh.

    I know lots of folks liked "The Streak", but "It's Me Again Margaret" had me rolling with laughter!

    One of his best comic pieces. He goes way back in pop radio. Some of his comic songs are a mixed bag but he certainly has his fans.

    Part of the fun of this song is the expressions on the parishioners faces, including Ray Stevens himself. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🥰‼️

    He is hilarious. I grew up listening to his songs. He is underrated as far as being a singer goes, not to mention the lyrics and whole "feel" of the song.

    This song reminds me of my grandpa. The first time I heard this song on the radio it was my grandpa who turned up the radio and started laughing. My grandpa was usually very serious so that's why this memory is so special. 🙂

    Mr. Stevens is a national treasure. Still 'Keeper of the Zoo' in Nashville according to the late, Great Chet Atkins.

    "The Ballad of Jade McClusky, "The Bricklayer's Song," "Staying up with the Dead," and "The Streak" are also some of my favorites.

    I had an actual vinyl album of Ray Stevens songs when I was growing up in the 70's. Me and my cousin listened to that thing so many times I'm sure we wore it out. I got so much enjoyment out of listening to those songs back in the day and I'm happy to know people are still enjoying Ray's music.

    I love Ray Stevens!! I grew up laughing at his songs. He has so many funny ones. I’ve seen only one serious song- Everything is Beautiful. It’s a real pretty song.
