Back when I was a teenager my Daddy was the pastor of a small Assembly of God church. A friend of mine and I was watching a Mouse running around on the platform while Daddy was preaching. He turned and walked over where the Mouse was and the Mouse jumped off the platform and ran to the back of the church a woman on about the three row of sets seen it and screamed a man on the other side of the church thought she was doing it because she being bless by God was and was shouting and God was make him feel good already so he jumped up and started shouting then it just moved over the whole church. Daddy, my friend, that little woman and I was the only ones that know what really started it. So some time God can bless people by a little anamil. After she regained her composure after seeing the Mouse she got a blessing from God to. I think about that Mouse everytime I hear this song. That was in the 60s when that happened almost 2 ppl years before ray releases his song. It brought back memories then and still does every time I hear today.
Last summer I was watching over my recently deceased uncle's farm house, he didn't have any cable or anything for his tv, but a vcr and some Ray Stevens tapes. I never heard of him until that night, but I spent the whole evening watching his tapes and loving every minute of it, he really helped me get through that tough time. Ray Stevens is hilarious.
Idk why I remembered this out of the blue but had to play it - every bit as funny as it used to be! What makes it so funny is I can see some of the kids I knew and grew up with doing this and similar goings-on happening lol.
Omgash, just heard this for the first time and I have tears flowing down my face.This is so very funny fight at this time in our lives.Everyone needs a laugh sometimes or we would all be crazy.Like some of us aren't already!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂♥️💖❤️👍👍👍👍👍We need some squirrels in more churches 👍❤️💖😂😂
RAY STEVENS IS THE MOST GREATEST SINGER AND HE HAS THE MOST FUNNIEST SONGS EVER. I'M HOPING SOMEDAY I CAN MEET RAY STEVENS THAT IS PLACED IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE. THANK YOU RAY FOR ALL THE YEARS YOU MADE PEOPLE LAUGH YOU'RE A GREAT GUY. FROM CAPTAIN RONNIE LEE JONES. OF MARANA , ARIZONA
Many long years ago, I went to a church in Alabama that looked just like this one. Yep, they needed, and still need, that squirrel although I do believe that a skunk would have an even better result.
@obryen i know what you mean. right near the part where the bertha started naming names I never noticed the one in yellow look at her husband at 2:20. Looks like someone will be sleeping on the couch for the rest of his life.
I can attest to the fact it is still hot and humid in Pascagoula up to almost he end of October. I thought there could not be other place in the South Like North Carolina when the air is stagnant and the humidity is so thick. But I then went to Ole Mississippi a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit.

I live in Pascagoula!! I grew up listening to old Ray Stevens always loved listening to his songs 🎵
I remember listening to Ray Steven's on cassette as a child......never realized until now, but he's got a really good singing voice
Only Ray Stevens could sing this song this way and get a way with it. I still say Everything is Beautiful has got to be one of his best songs. though.
I seen this as a kid and thought about bringing a squirrel to church to see what would happen 😂
This just never gets old.

More modern churches need a visit from a "half-crazed mississippi squirrel". Seriously.
And we all got re baptised whether we needed it or not.
First comment in 9 years. I’m only 14, but I had this cd for my radio! Loved it.
Still A Great Song No matter how many times you listen
My grandpa had this on 8 track when I was a kid, Ray Stevens is a baaad man. Toss up between this one and "The Streak"!
My favorite gospel hymn.
That squirrel is my spirit animal.
God bless Ray Stevens
Ray Stevens is got to be one of the funniest guys in the music business. This has been my favorite song/music video of his.
If you need something to laugh at and cheer up with, this is it!
Thank God for Ray Stevens....
Music from my childhood...it's just so freaking cool to remember those days...
SOMETHIN'S GOT A HOLD ON ME!!!

I've always liked this song and his sense of humor!
Remember hearing this when I was a youngster....😉👍

My church was talking about their planned mission trip to Pascagoula today .... my hubby and I started singing this in the balcony...lol
A classic to be sure.
Love to listern to Ray Stevens singing
This song reminds me of my grandpa and I miss him terribly and I love him so much I just cry when I listen to this song

I wish something like this would happen in the church I grew up in. I stopped attending as soon as I was 18.

Ray Stevens is the best comedian known. Still woundering if the squirrel did happen in church?

IMO more Mississippi squirrel need to be turned loose in this world. It might just improve it.
