Troy was my neighbor and good friend in Goodlettsville Tennessee for 10 years. Talented funny and what you see here is exactly what he is just a good old country boy.
Probably like Older Ladies song by Donna Stevens, came and went, and seems like her only hit. It might have been missed like Leroy Troy. I agree, fantastic song!
@@keithad6485 Every time I run across Donna Stevens and that song I have to make sure I'm sitting down. SO funny! While I don't know the artist another really good one is "I don't look good naked anymore".
I first heard Ghost Riders on my mother's 78 record, yes this was over 5 decades ago. It was sung by Johnny Cash. Then I heard a husky voiced female piano player sing it on Mackinaw Island in the early 1980's. I will never forget her, she saw me walk in and would dedicate the song to me. Thanks to you, I too will never ever think of this song the same way again. 🤣🤣🤣
This is one awesome parody! Leroy Troy is a genius. Few people realize how hard it is to write a good comedic song. Leroy knocked this one out of the park. I played it Atlanta last spring for a crowd who just fell apart with laughter. They had never heard it before, so I got a chance to do a little promo for Leroy. I hope to see him perform someday as I live up the road in Bowling Green.
Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
My dad played banjo like Leroy Troy. Here in Tennessee we call it "Mountain Banjo". This is hilarious! It takes some skill to change the lyrics of a song and have them fit so well. Makes me think of all the other talented country singing parodists whom I appreciate greatly. Leroy Troy is another great one.
@@kegginstructure I must've been 7 or 8 sheets to the wind that night, because I don't even remember seeing this or commenting. 🤣 Still freaking hilarious!
All those people are professionals and talented...you can just tell that they are having fun with Leroy...they put a great show.... God bless them all...
Marty was one of last country singers i enjoyed. Don't even listen to country anymore. Hank Snow thru the 70's had great songs. Figure most people won't know too many before Hank Snow, which is why i started there. Love Hank Williams & the rest, so you don't need to jump on me for skipping them.
laugh man it's the only thing that we are allowed to do. 86 yrs old, sick as a dog and nowhere to go but down. laugh man, it's the only thing left that you can do on your own. dont need anyone to help you to laugh. eat, piss, shit etc, but not to laugh LAUGH and you will be happy!!
I thought Marty was gonna have an accident but none of them skipped or soured any notes! It had to take a lot of facial muscle skill for LeRoy to keep such a straight face while everybody else there was splitting their sides!!
I have watched this vid hundreds of times and the guy standing in the background with the base (guitar or fiddle) his facial expressions always cracked me up
This is the most hysterical thing I’ve ever heard! The bass player and Marty Robbin’s were killing themselves laughing! Thank the Lord I still have a sense of humor!
1st time i heard this I was laughing my ass off ,! How could Marty and his band still play ,,, when laughing,,, lol God Bless from northern Ireland UK,,
Use to listen to country songs like grandma's feather bed BUT this one is too country indeed......and....I enjoyed it very much ....probably I should try playing with my guitar....TQVM... Bro ....LUMUT MALAYSIA
I'm watching this or listening to this over and over again, not just for the fun of it, but even more for the musik. Leroy's cheerful banjo and the galloping dry rythm guitar of Kenny act and fit together so well! Does anybody have exactly this video in a better quality?
I'm watching this or listening to this over and over again too. I am a Swiss citizen. How can anybody in this world dislike or hate Americans? These guys should be named ambassadors of the USA for the whole world.

Yes, yes I'm gonna say it; That is Truly A Rotten Fowl song and it leaves egg on ya face😢😳🤔 and you thank Marty and Leroy for some good old humor and talent!🤟❤️💯‼️
This is awesome. I am watching on my laptop, My wife is watching a movie on TV and keeps looking at me wondering why my feet are going to the music i am laughing. Seeing Marty Stuart genuinely splitting a gut laughing is hilarious.
The poor bass player 😂 This is a wonderful song lol. I remember when I first heard it maybe five years ago. I was cracking up so hard cause my dad always played Ghost Riders in the Sky, so I was familiar with that one. I just now was looking through one of our music books and found Ghost Riders, and of course I had to come find this again 😂
The guy on bass makes this, the way he tries not to laugh & crease up. I bet he can't go to KFC without at least one laugh, I know I can't after watching this. Last time I went through the local drive through, johnny Cash, singing "Ghost Riders In The Sky"started playing on the radio, and I cracked up so much, I whacked the door mirror on the serving hatch because the tears in my eyes affected my vision so much! Everyone in the car looked at me in disbelief, wondering what was so funny. I just couldn't believe the coincidence of the song being played exactly at that moment. 🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎
Thank you for this recording! I was a long time fan of Homer and Jethro, and never thought that there was another parodist of this sort available! Thanks again!
When I was a little boy in the early 50ies I listened to Homer and Jethro on 78rpm records and of course the Grand Ole Opry on WSM radio650am......don't hardly ever hear them mentioned anymore....they were great....seems like their best song was Give Me Five Minutes More.

i'm 68 years old and todays young folks don't have a clue of what fun is ! just watch the bass player !
The guitar player ain't too sure though!
Hilarious!!!!! 😅
I'm 56 and grew up with HEE HAW. I miss these good old shows.
For decades there was grand ole opry in Alvin Texas till covid that was very entertaining.
Oh yeah, when the line about the cole slaw came up, the bass player was laughing so hard, and so was I. This was hysterical.
Why have I never heard of this or Leroy Troy?????? How have I lived without this song??????
Underprivileged would be my best guess!
I've been listening to this classic for years!
It can years to your life😮

@@richardcline1337 I agree! Naked song - Snake Oil Willy perhaps.
I love LeRoy Troy. Everybody laughing their butts off, but LeRoy standing there like he was at a funeral, even while crowing like rooster.
It is a great thing when you can poke fun at your own genre and have a great time doing it ! Priceless stuff !
I'll never hear Ghost Riders In The Sky the same way ever again...thank you. I loved it.
Whenever I need an uplift, play this.

Hello from Edmonton!
Think I will do the same at my little shows around the DMV.. was thinking similar then just saw your comment.
He's definitely an exceptionally talented musician for sure
Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Very few can pull it off; this is just perfection.
I cried with laughter as I was listening to this masterpiece, it just blew me away the way it was executed by Leroy.

😊😃I’m very pleased to know I’m not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.
Known as clawhammer banjo
I warch this often and it cracks me up every time, it should be played at every funeral!
Laughter combined with good music is good medicine , I'm healed.
O
😂😢😮😅
Milagro ... ... !!!
This is my all time happy song, thanks Leroy and Marty's band, brilliant!
Two days later and I'm still repeat playing this.
whenever i feel a bit down , this is my first go to ! !
Fantastic. Thanks for putting some smiles on our faces.
Paul
Never heard of Leroy, but that was pretty hilarious. Especially watching the bass player trying to keep from laughing. Well done 😂
I'm actually most impressed that the bass player kept on rhythm given that he was about to laugh his ... behind ... off.
@@kegginstructure I must've been 7 or 8 sheets to the wind that night, because I don't even remember seeing this or commenting. 🤣 Still freaking hilarious!
This is just hilarious!!! This is why I miss shows like He Haw!!! Incredible musicians and jut ridiculous humor!!
All those people are professionals and talented...you can just tell that they are having fun with Leroy...they put a great show.... God bless them all...
Did you see where he spit on himself when he was Ca Caaing? He wiped spit off his eye.
Wow, that was hilarously GREAT! Oh to be back even in those days!
Fantastic cawing!
I love this song!!! Great going Leroy...
I have never heard this. My word it hit my spot , listened to it 5 times. Sent it to my sister so she can here it. I love it.
Marty was one of last country singers i enjoyed. Don't even listen to country anymore. Hank Snow thru the 70's had great songs. Figure most people won't know too many before Hank Snow, which is why i started there. Love Hank Williams & the rest, so you don't need to jump on me for skipping them.
You know this band has talent when the band can't keep a straight face but still play it perfectly
Right! 🤣
Yup!
You are right . They can't keep a straight face, but they still playing it perfectly...
Leroy spit on himself caw cawing.. Too funny. Watch him wipe his eye..
@@marquesalf3527
No matter how many times I watch this video it cracks me up everytime and I love Marty Stuart's reaction to it as well
The ONLY one to keep a straight face is the guy to the left on the guitar.
Glad I stumbled into this classic! I don't laugh much any more but this had the tears flowing! Super funny.
Andre, look for things that make you laugh. I often forget what a good feeling it is. And oh so important.
laugh man it's the only thing that we are allowed to do.
86 yrs old, sick as a dog and nowhere to go but down.
laugh man, it's the only thing left that you can do on your own.
dont need anyone to help you to laugh.
eat, piss, shit etc, but not to laugh
LAUGH and you will be happy!!
Great song Leroy keep ir up pal
Great version - and that guitar has a lovely tone as well!
Boy did I ever need this tonight!!!
Anytime I need a good laugh I go back to this. If you can watch this and not at least smile then you better check your pulse.
I didn't smile
Like for real
Not even a little
Penney....if one does NOT laugh then you are already 6 down..🤣😂🤘🙃
2022 still funny.
Oh man! This is brilliant! One of the best and funniest things I have seen in years. That banjo player is a real character. I loved it.
I flipping love this 😂 that little chicken sound he does. Idk how that bass player kept on playing 😂 congrats my hats of him.
🤝
Thanks for your wonderful sharing.
Amazing title, great video.
Hello how are you doing…?😊
It really shows the skill of these musicians to be pissing themselves laughing and not miss a note.
NONE OF THEM HIT a NOTE !
@sam zuriel Opinions vary !
Love the bassist
I thought Marty was gonna have an accident but none of them skipped or soured any notes! It had to take a lot of facial muscle skill for LeRoy to keep such a straight face while everybody else there was splitting their sides!!
probably prerecorded
I have watched this vid hundreds of times and the guy standing in the background with the base (guitar or fiddle) his facial expressions always cracked me up
I miss country music like this!
Hello how are you doing today…?
This is the most hysterical thing I’ve ever heard! The bass player and Marty Robbin’s were killing themselves laughing!
Thank the Lord I still have a sense of humor!
Where has this been all my life!
Hello how are you doing……?
About the happiest song I've heard in 10 years

Love it , Love it! I keep playing it, it's brilliant! From Scotland
Just came across this, great song. Thank you for sharing... .🐔
This one flew over my head.

That is real country music no matter that it's a parody!
Just stumbled across this!.... brilliant Just brilliant!! (Keith UK) 👍
I love the way that all of the band were laughing, but still carried on playing!
Love it! Sharing with my grandkids. They need exposure to this.
I absolutely love this. I laughed so hard I watched it over and over. He sounds just like the rooster in our neighbors yard.
I discovered this just last night and have played it at least 20 times.....and sent it to others.
I've never heard this before and I grew up listening to old country. I love it!!
Just one word, FANTASTIC !!!!!!
I'm watching this or listening to this over and over again, not just for the fun of it, but even more for the musik. Leroy's cheerful banjo and the galloping dry rythm guitar of Kenny act and fit together so well!

I was Cub Scouts Leader and as one of our skits our Bear Den sang The Ghost Chickens in the Sky. 👌😏
This is so awesome keep up the good work and Ghost chickens in the sky right on
Hello how are you doing…?😊
Love this song, the band, Leroy, everything for a good and funny night out full of musical fun!!
Darn good fun, the world needs more of this
When I showed this video to my sister she laughed so hard that you could hear it from the other state of my house.
OMG, I'm wiping tears of laughter out of my eyes. :) Best satire/parody i've seen a loooong time.
With out a doubt he is one of the greatest.
I'm surprized Marty Stuart and the bass player made it through the song! Loved the white shoes on the bass player and the guitarist.
With all the discord in this country these days, this is needed!
Absolutely brilliant! So funny. See the face of the guy on base. Leeroy and Marty together what a team. 100% Country......
This is hysterical! I laugh out loud each and every time I watch it - and that’s a lot of times! 😂

I love how Marty is trying to keep his composure and still play meanwhile the guy playing the upright bass in the background is just dying laughing 🤣
I haven't laughed so hard at a UA-cam video I'm years I remember watching this back in the day recorded on VHS thank you!
My late husband would be laughing his head off, I loved this sort of music.
I just found this in my archives. How did I forget?
"They cooked him extra crispy, and they ate him with coleslaw". Sheer poetry.
you go Leroy.met you at Smithville TN.jamboree once upon a time haha.like this song.
Oh man, I love that song! Eeeerrrrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrrr,,,,,,,,,,,eeeerrrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrrr.
thanks for making my day better, the song was so funny, I like the band members in the background, fantastic!
Fun stuff & dadgum funny!! Makes me homesick for Tennessee....where folks have lots of talent and humor to share!!

Oh my word! It brought tears to my eyes, I was laughing so hard! Well done!
Hello how are you doing today…?😊
This song is brilliant. It can release a lot of stress and forget about Coup.
never heard before what a brilliant and funny find
Why don't they have stuff like this on TV any more? Smothers Brothers were great too! Carol Burnett, He Haw, heck even Sonny and Cher.
Great harmony!
My 3rd grade teacher would sing this a lot... LOL I STILL REMEMBER IT XD
I laugh so much I almost pee in my pants. Thank you whoever you are for posting this.
I couldn't help but LMAO at the bass player but the guy picking the Teley kept a straight face the whole time !!! This is priceless !!!😂😂😂😂
Up until the end watch
He just had chcken for lunch and wasn't hungry!
I usually can't take Old Leroy Troy, but I have to admit.......this is one of his better performances. God Bless him!!
Asome along with the a banjo
Absolutely beautiful and very well done
Rolling on the ground after this one- pure genius!
Can`t stop laughing, no matter how often I watch this.
Found this song about 6 months ago, listened to it every day since. My favorite earworm :D
I see the bass player didn`t last ten seconds before cracking up, absolute, 100% Grade A. A classic song.
He was probably remembering the rehearsal
creative !!!!
Marty couldn't hold it together, either.

I really love his face expressions :P
I don't care whatever anybody else says that's hilarious right there
All the vegans' n' vegetarians be right happy 'bout this - them pore ol' chickens gettin' revenge !!
