I almost did that once, so I got a little thing to keep all my pills in so I don’t eat loose change and buttons...THEN I’d have to go get my stomach pumped! Lol
roger is one of a kind- loved his tunes since I was a little kid. I never tried roller skating in a buffalo herd, i couldn't roller skate on the skating rink!
Thumbs is rockin' that Batman T. I could listen to this song every day for the rest of my life. "This is a hot lick that everybody always enjoys." LOL.
Wow!! Just think in 1966 Roger Miller sang a song that was funny, cute and believe it or not, It Wasn't Filled With BAD Words!! Times back then were called the good ole days, gee I wonder why.. Probably bc things have changed so much and time marches on... Thank you for this lovely video and Thank you Roger Miller for making the best songs of days gone by.. RIH!
I was so high when I was at my cousins house and this came on and it like opened this part of music appreciation in my mind that had never been touched before hahhaha. This song fascinated me.
The higher we get the more informal we are! Oh yeh Roger! Always loved your songs and you are still fondly remembered ! Thanks for posting this , a true classic video. P.S (I know Roger is no longer among the living). Jim
If ever was a person who did not use or tap into all his/her musical talent, this man is it. I always had the feeling he was holding back, and yet he was still one of the most creative and interesting entertainers of his time.
@lokillaZai yeh i saw the show and remembered how much i loved Roger Miller, I got tickets to see him & took my Mom & Dad, thinking they'll love it, but I was awe struck by this Man, he blew me away with his wit, playing the fiddle and guitar and this is coming from a Beatles , Hendrix to Bob Marley Fan.
Happy to say....I remeber seeing this live! I live in the UK now and my English husband loves Raising Hope and he went mad over this song! Yep....the Special Relationship:-)
I'm sure that most people under 40 would think of Roger Miller as a square old country singer. They don't realize how edgy his scene was. Performances like this? "My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died"? Roger Miller was one wild genius, for sure.
Me too. It's from a morning show and the whole tape must be out there somewhere. Legend has it that Roger and the boys, not being morning people, got hopped up on pills and never slept the night before this show.
The shirt though. On the Opry. Also this is the internet. Repetition is one of it's main pillars. Without it it would likely collapse. Would some fine thing be built from the recycled rubble? Who knows? But we are here now staring into a magic window to the past at the shirt of a man playing his guitar incorrectly but well.
Thumbs is wearing a batman shirt under a sports jacket - pure class. Love Roger Miller.
Lonnie mack told me thumbs Carlisle..taught willie Nelson much of his style
Read this right before it popped up haha
he once said don't keep your pills in the same pocket you keep your change in, he said he once took 35 cents by mistake.
he had the craziest sense of humor, loved his songs, was sad when he died.
I almost did that once, so I got a little thing to keep all my pills in so I don’t eat loose change and buttons...THEN I’d have to go get my stomach pumped!
Lol
For Roger Miller that sounds about right !

The most under rated performer ever, his repertoir is enormous.
Yes! He was my songwriting idol and inspired me to write songs. My early performances were filled with a lot of Roger Miller songs.
@ (1:08) - "we always do a highly informal show - the higher we get the more informal we are" hahaha
Paul Campo lol
Paul Campo pretty sure he's lit
yep that was the point of my comment...he was pretty much telling everyone watching TV that the band was loaded haha
Lol. RM was “known” by the rat pack to always have the herb. Leave it to an okie boy to bring the sack. Some things never change. ;)
That was about 420 years ago
I have always loved his music. Every now and then, my wife catches me singing engine engine #9. My favorite Roger Miller song. He was truly great.
How about when your parents catch you hammered sing chug a lug 😂
RIP and long live Roger Miller (January 2, 1936 - October 25, 1992), aged 56
You will always be remembered as a legend.
This is without question absolute country gold.. Roger was a machine.. A true legend..
roger miller would have a guitarist named thumbs that wears a batman shirt. he truly was, and always will be, one of the very best.

He was born on this day in 1936. Great song !
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Roger Millers music!!! Dude was a showman. And one of the best to ever perform in my humble opinion.

One of the greatest songwriter/singers in history. Wish he would have stayed another 30 years.
This guy was a incredible, a truly talented performer. So unique.
Raising Hope got me addicted to this song!

The higher we get the more informal we are 😂
An underrated genius

I wish I had his Gibson guitar, and he had a Do Wacka Do Wacka Do Wacka Do Wacka Do! My hero, the Rog.
I love Roger Miller--
His music was awesome 🥰❤️How are you Joyce

Never heard of Raising Hope until these comments. Here for Roger Miller.
looks like hes playing a super rare early 1900's Orville Gibson hand carved guitar...what an amazing sound!
And Thumbs is playing a Baldwin 801cp classical guitar. Same guitar Jerry Reed played
Sorry I was mistaken it's a Gibson C-1e nylon. Jerry played one of those early on in his career too
Search "Roger Miller Opry AM" and it's all there. The whole episode is GOLD
3rd favorite Roger Mills song, he taught me to not take life or music to seriously lol

My mom loved Roger Miller. She had a couple of his albums in her collection in the 1960s while my dad prefered johnny cash and waylon jennings
Roger Miller was probably the most gifted and versatile country music artist ever.
Thank you friend ❤️☘️☘️ inspirational video, !!!☘️☘️ ! ❤️
In 1966 i smoked my first weed and always loved rogers do wack a do wacka do
He's playing a 1906 or 1907 Gibson Style O. This guy is the coolest man on the planet!!!!! I've never seen anyone playing one of these before.
Watching on Roger's birthday.
He was so cool
So this makes me happy today!
three words. that. was. awesome.
Mother's day got me here
i wish we had wholesome people like roger miller in the modern age.
I'm sure that most people under 40 would think of Roger Miller as a square old country singer. They don't realize how edgy his scene was. Performances like this? "My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died"? Roger Miller was one wild genius, for sure.
This song has even more relevance today with Facebook post showing everyone's ideal life...

Me too. It's from a morning show and the whole tape must be out there somewhere. Legend has it that Roger and the boys, not being morning people, got hopped up on pills and never slept the night before this show.
Just listed to this song on an episode of Raising Hope. Realy cute fun scene.
I dare you to listen to this and not be in a better mood...
One of the greatest talents of our time. And that band! Danny Gatton played with Roger too. He and Thumbs would swap ideas.
Been getting into that wildwood weed!

This version is the Best song ever
Anyone noticed all the comments here say the samething?
-raising hope
-Batman shirt
-getting high
The shirt though. On the Opry.
Also this is the internet. Repetition is one of it's main pillars. Without it it would likely collapse. Would some fine thing be built from the recycled rubble? Who knows? But we are here now staring into a magic window to the past at the shirt of a man playing his guitar incorrectly but well.
