Ray Steven’s was a comedic legend back in the 1970’s & 80’s
He had a theater show in Branson,MO for years.
Ray's first professional recording... 1957... A serious song called "Silver Bracelet"... He still has a theater in Nashville... Unfortunately, he has announced semi retirement this year... Will still record though... The theater will remain open without him too, with other performers...
He has a dinner show theater in Nashville now, Caba Ray. I think it has been open for 5 or 6 years now, but he made an announcement a little while back that he was going back on the road if I'm not mistaken.
I used to live in North East Missouri. Been to Branson, Silver Dollar City, and Dollywood. Can't forget Dogpatch. That was back in the 80's. Great fun there.
He never stopped releasing albums and kept doing live performances. He released an album in 2002 titled "Osama Yo' Mama The Album".
The name is Ray Stevens. Not being Vulcan or Klingon, there’s no apostrophe.
"The Streak" 😂😂😂😂
Still love that song to this day... hilarious 😂
his song 'Sitting up with the Dead' is my favorite. ida been outta that house just like the preacher. strait thru a wall
@patchesblue155 ALL his comedy songs were pure gold and his few regular songs proved he could really SING too...
@maxdamage4259 🤣🤣🤣I'd b right behind you I'd I didn't step over you to get out first🤣🤣
Don't look Ethel!!!
Two others you will laugh with are Ahab The Arab and Gitarzan. Ray Stevens is famous for his comedic songs: The Streak, Sitting Up With The Dead, It's Me Again Margaret, I'm My Own Grandpa, the list goes on, but the one that will really surprise you is not a comedy. It's a serious tune called Everything Is Beautiful and it has a great message
OMG I haven't even thought of I'm My Own Grandpa for years! Thank you for reminding me of that song!
Oh gosh totally forgot about Gitarzan!!! 😂
Another Great song is his cover of an old Roy Akuff song : 'Turn Your Radio On'!!!
My dad used to love listening to Ray Stevens and we had several VHS tapes and loved the music videos to some of those songs as well.
The one that surprised me was his performance of Sunday Morning Coming Down.
I love Ray Stevens!! Good, wholesome stuff, a lot of fun, Shriner's Convention, The Streak, I want to sing and Dance,... haircut song,... it's me again Margaret,.... so much more,... he also has a serious side,... "Everything is Beautiful" well worth the listen. I think he is still performing today,... he has a little place outside of Nashville ,... "The CabaRay". thanks for your reaction to one of his classics!! 😀😀😀
This is his last year of scheduled performances at The CabaRay, sadly.
@@valashar5313 That is sad to hear,... it would be an end to an era,... I know he is getting up there in years,... maybe a few guest appearances left? I still hear new songs from him every now and again, like "Bubba changed his Name to Charlene". He still has it!!! 😀😀😀
Illl try and look into it!
Ray Stevens is well known for his comedy music. He also did some writing and performing for other artists in other genres, as well as his grammy winning song from 1970, Everything is Beutiful. He is strong in his faith and has several gospel hits to his name as well. He wrote and performed the theme to the original Cannonball Run movie and the sequel. He is in short, a legend. He is also considered a "clean" comic. I would love to see you react to more.
💖
Ray does both comical and serious songs... He has won multiple Awards over the years...
Serious Ray song... "Everything Is Beautiful"
Funny Ray Song... "The Streak"
He has been performing for over nearly 7 decades, so he has a LOT of material, funny and otherwise...
Back in the day, my grandpa, God rest his soul, taught me how to feed a squirrel a pecan. So i did what he taught me, i sat on the front porch and held a pecan with my fingers and then the squirrel ran up to me and stood there eating the pecan right on my lap. When he was done eating the pecan, he got off and went back up the tree. Its one of those precious memories ill treasure forever.
I love that~
My Poppa had a chipmunk that would crawl into his hand and let him pet it.
@@laurelg9586 Thank you❤
@@Hanmerhack really? That's amazing!
There's a church near me with the best church sign I've seen on their building: "No perfect people allowed". Love it!
Guess Jesus ain’t allowed lol
@@triden1172 He wasn't perfect either. Just blessed ;)
@@johncentamore1052 he was without sin. if that aint perfect I don't know who is
Without sin and being perfect are two different things. According to Hebrews, Jesus was made perfect through suffering. He even questioned God on the cross. But none of this is the point of that sign, and you know that. You just want to troll. The point of the sign is, we accept that all people are sinners, and all sinners are welcome. So don't come in thinking you're better than others in the congregation and looking down your nose. Practice humility, and know that you'll be accepted and welcomed. And with that, I'm done with your meaningless baiting.
@@johncentamore1052 I am not trolling, this is legitimate doctrine.
We know from the book of Job that it is not a sin to question God, so long as you continue to obey him. it is never a sin to ask questions!
Also, you just admitted through that scripture that Jesus was perfect. his sacrifice was the finishing stroke, the capstone if you will, that completed his utterly perfect life.
Without sin = perfect. It's not that hard to understand. If Jesus didn't live a perfect life, we would all be fucked. the only reason we can be redeemed through him is because he lived a perfect life and achieved the kingdom of heaven through his own merit. it is by becoming joint inheritors with jesus that we can even enter into the kingdom of heaven in the first place. If he Isn't perfect, than he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven, for no unclean thing can enter into God's presence. We are cleansed by the blood of Christ to become joint inheritors with him. Jesus had nothing to cleanse him, because he DOES the cleansing. If Jesus had sinned, than he wouldn't have been perfect, he would NOT have been able to enter the kingdom of heaven, and all of us would be up a creek without a paddle, the entire plan of salvation would be frustrated, and there would be no hope for salvation.
By accepting Jesus as our lord and master, we are acknowledging Jesus as the gold standard of how to live, the perfect example for us to follow and learn from. If he wasn't perfect, Than why would we follow him?
In Matthew 5: 48, Jesus says, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect."
In John 10: 30, Jesus says, "I and the Father are one"
If Jesus is one with The Father, than he is perfect, because the father is perfect.
Jesus is without sin. That's the whole point of his sacrifice. That is why we follow him. so that we can be cleansed of our sins at the last day, and enter the kingdom of heaven, perfected in him at last.
If you truly think that Jesus wasn't perfect, then why are you even following him? Why are you even calling yourself a Christian? Why worship an imperfect man?
One cannot wash themselves clean in muddy water. They will only become filthier.
Jesus IS perfect. That's the whole point of the entire religion.
I was stationed in Pascagoula when I was in the Navy... I loved singing this one at karaoke
I also was stationed there in the Navy USS Iowa BB-61
I'm a pastor for a small church...and we actually had some kids bring a little squirrel in a box to squirrel. I played them this song and laughed my head off! I told folks if we needed it, I was not above setting it loose!
The nostalgia hits HARD with this one. My family used to listen to Ray Stevens on our summer camping trips. This one was our favorite
It's me again Margaret
that was another great one by him.
Love this one! :D
😂😂😂😂😂
Are you nekkid??
My personal favorite. Love this one & the haircut song.
I have always loved to laugh with Ray Stevens! Our boys (Home Free) did this not too many years ago, the video was animated in the old HannaBarbera fashion. Thanks, Brit!
The Streak - I'm My Own Grandpa - Surfin' USSR (take of Surfin USA by Beach Boys) - Shriner Convention
If you can find it, I would recommend the original version of on my own Grandpa by Lonzo and Oscar
@@mrtoad8585 Either way, I suggest finding a version of "I'm My Own Grandpa" with the family tree on it... Can get pretty confusing for newcomers, otherwise... Makes it a bit easier to understand until you get to know the words...
Yes the streak was one of the best.
Back before the internet or even modern TV boys would find things to do to stay amused. Catching frogs, snakes, chipmunks, and squirrels were on the list and quite a few were boxed during summer days. Usually they only stayed boxed for a couple hours since they were pretty good at getting loose. Parents were pretty good at intercepting the box of critters before they got into the house so they didn't have a reenactment of the Mississippi Squirrel.
If you want some more try I’m my own grandpa, Sitting up with the dead or The day I tried to teach Charlene Mackenzie how to drive. True comedy gold.
Ray Stevens is amazing!! You have to see all his videos!!
I had a Ray Stevens VHS when i was a kid and this and " Sitting up with the Dead" were some of my favorites!
I am SO glad you popped up on my tablet tonight. I had forgotten about Ray Stevens. He was so unique and his music was pure innocent fun. Please do more of his catalogue. I love all of your comments on this one. Take care. ☺
In the South, catching critters was a normal activity for kids and adults.
Growing up in the Deep South, I had quite a few friends who probably could have benefited from rabies shots.
Love Ray's musical comedy and this is a classic!!
I have been raised listening to Ray Stevens. My family still to this day, references any of his songs in alot of our conversations
Finally been waiting for this you need to checkout Sitting Up With The Dead!!!!!!!!!!
Ray stevens “sittin up with the dead” is the best
defitly a song to listen to around Halloween
My Grandpa had this on VHS and we used to watch it every time we went over. I imagine it was to entertain us kids while the adults got to visit haha
“This is not serious” lol
I had pet flying squirrels. I grew up in the early 60's near the swamps to the ENE of New Orleans. About an hour and a half from Pascagoula. Paw-paw would set traps to catch them for me. I'd tie a slipknot around the leg and the other end to the loop on my jeans and they spent the next day or so in my pocket until they eventually got away. I did take one to school. It didn't cause a ruckus. Teacher just made me turn it loose on the playground. But she sent a letter home. Maw-maw would make you go pick your own switch off the catawba tree. If she had to go pick a better switch you got two whipping's. 🤣😂🤣
We had a Switch Tree. I was about 25, done a hitch in the Navy before I learned it was a Privy Hedge and not a Switch Tree. And yep, better not make Momma go pick a switch for you.
Best fishbait in the World, catawba worms......next to grub worms. Neither are 'worms' per se, but what we called em.
Sitting’ Up With The Dead is hilarious!
I am from Pascagoula, we have a love/hate relationship with this song..
Another good music video by Ray Stevens is Sitting up with the dead.
Pascagoula Mississippi is right on the state line with Alabama. I've lived in Alabama just across the state line most of my life. It's about 30 miles or so from where i live. I have friends and family that are and have lived there as long as i can remember. Seriously, that is a very accurate description of a southern baptist church in this area!
A lot of what's alluded to, is also present in the Methodists, as well.
Pretty much, if you grew up going to Church, you'll be getting some of the references, lol.
I saw Ray Stevens live twice in the early 80's so I saw him do this song live twice. He was brilliant.
Ray Stevens mostly known for funny songs, "Everything is Beautiful" is a great song about loving all people. Worth a listen.
Oh wow, I remember road trips as a kid; my family listened to our Ray Stevens cassette tapes back to back in the car, and EVERYONE sang along 😂 Such good times
I first heard of Ray Stevens back when I was a kid in the mid-70s. He had a hit song on the radio called "The Streak". It was during a time when streaking was somewhat popular. He has a number of comedy songs but this is one of my favorites. Thank you for reacting to it. Ray did have one serious, non-comedy, hit called "Everything is Beautiful". It actually reached number one on the Hot 100 in 1970.
Sittin Up With The Dead is another great one!! 😂😂😂
The Lord works in mysterious ways ... Love this song ...
I LUV this song and have since I first heard it. I raised my children in Mississippi about 20 miles north of the Louisiana/Mississippi line. I now actually live in Pascagoula and I still love this song. The church he is 'talking' about is in Pascagoula and there is probably at least one in every city in the US and probably around the world. Only One Perfect Person has ever lived on this planet and He is Now in Heaven watching over us and waiting for His Father to say "It is Time" . Looking forward to that time. ;-)
It is an easy solution. It was a squirrel, he went for the nuts!.. An act of the lord if ever there was one!
"Is this serious?" HELLO! It's Ray Stevens!! lol
Ray Stevens only did one serious song that I know of. And that was "Everything is beautiful".
The facial expressions! I can't even! ROFLMAO!! Now, you have to do The Streak, It's Me Again Margaret, and Shriners' Convention. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I grew up with Ray Stevens to the point his "It's me again Margret" became a running joke with me and my grandma when I would have to call her from the grocery store to double check on what brand she wanted on something since she had trouble getting out to the store in her later years. Dude is doing good for being...85 years old now. He still does shows apparently, I'd recommend the Chili Cook Off music video or The Shriner's Convention as good videos from him...also The Streak, it's a classic. Santa Clause is Watching You is a funny one for Christmas time too.
I've had an opossum, racoon, gray squirrel , countless snakes , lizards , tree frogs , snapping turtle , box turtles , slider turtles , a Hellbender ( giant salamander ) for pets, and have rehabbed an injured barn owl and red tail hawk that were re-released after they recovered from their injuries. Rural Appalachian and southern Americans will make a pet out of anything. My grandmother had a pet groundhog , and my grandfather tamed and trained wild animals, birds , chipmunks, squirrels and deer to come to him or to knock on the window for a treat and to be pet , they are the reason why I was always toting home some kind of critter. I took my raccoon to school on a couple of occasions, which was interesting to say the least. She even made it into my high-school yearbook.
Singing comedian; when I first heard that song I was driving and had to pull over due to laughing/crying so hard I couldn't see the road very well! He has tons of comedic songs.
He has a special talent for taking situations and creating comedy and sometimes a lesson
The Streak by Ray Stevens is hilarious 😂
ETHAL!! come back here ETHAL!!😂😂
I grew up in the Pascagoula-Moss Point area. Ray had an uncle who lived in rural Jackson County that he would visit during some summers. His cousin was a schoolmate and friend of mine. This song story did not happen, but a squirrel (a small flying squirrel) did get inside the church during a revival meeting and wrecked a lot of havoc.
My mom drug me and my brother to church in the late 70s. We didn't have much money, so I usually wore handed down dresses that were a few years out of fashion. Even though the style of the time was maxi dresses, I was still wearing minis, and the little old ladies had a lot to say about it. Being a bit more honest than most people liked, I told them if they studied their Bible as much as they studied my clothes, they would've already been raptured. They didn't tell me anything else about my skirts after that. This song was a blast!! There were quite a few funny songs back then ...
Ray Steven's is great. "The Haircut Song". " The Pirate Song", and "The Streak" all great
This was the first song I ever performed on stage in front of my peers. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
You're the first reactor I've seen who figured out the message before the song actually got there! I love how it is utter chaos shenanigans that could be just a funny story, and then he brings it back around to how the Lord works in mysterious ways, so that it is actually sincerely moving for just a moment there at the end before it goes back into the silly chorus.
Ray Stevens has some great comedic songs. Shriner's Convention, The Streak, Guitarzan, It's Me Again Margaret, I'm My Own Grandpa
Ray Stevens, being a Christian man himself, found a clever and subtle way to lampoon the hypocrisies commonly found in Churches.
It's a funny song with a serious underlying message.
Ray Stevens was one funny SOB. He did comedy albums, and he made me laugh over and over and over. Sister Bertha Better-Than-You. Great line. I think Sister Bertha's revelations about her sordid past lead to a lot of the sudden re-commitment.
Ray Stevens was Dolly Parton’s first professional producer back in her very early Monument Records recordings.
Love Ray. Grammy winning song Everything is Beautiful, It's Me Again Margaret, Sitting Up With the Dead
Home Free did a hilarious cover of this song with a cartoon video that paid homage to old cartoons, and they even added in cartoon versions of themselves. Definitely worth watching!!! 😃😂❤️👍🏼
Ray Stevens is comedy GOLD!
Ray Stevens is a comedy genius. He has 100's of hilarious songs. Music going from the 60s to just a few years ago. He is well worth a deep dive into. One of my favorite songs of his is Everything is Beautiful. It is one of his few none humorous songs and is full of hope.
Ray has just as many, if not more serious songs... Hundreds of cover songs... Even a respectable version of Roy Orbison's "Crying"...
It's a real song and ALL of the songs that Ray does are GREAT ❤❤
OMFG!! you are doing Ray Steven's! My grandfather had all the tapes and I used to watch them all on repeat as a kid.
Do more please 🙏
Way back in the 70's, a cat had squirrel, and my sister was trying to make the cat let it go. Well, the squirrel bit my sister. My dad chased the cat to retrieve the squirrel. It had to be tested for rabies. The test took time, so my sister had to get a rabies shot. This injection is given in the abdomen, and is extremely painful.
The squirrel was negative, so luckily she only had to get one. I will never forget the fact that both my parents to help her get from the car into the house.
Don't be messin' with any squirrels!
I had a pet squirrel, it fell out of a tree cause of a storm. It was a baby and i fed it with a bottle till it got older. It gnawed the window frames, curtains, and the doors.
The Streak, Ahab the Arab, Along Came Jones, Guitarzan are just afew other songs by this comedy song legend.
I grew up listening to Ray Stevens and absolutely love this guy.
And he also has some great non comedy music as well like one of my favorites "Everything is Beautiful"
And even better is the town in the song, Pascagoula is a real town in southern Mississippi.
Ray Stevens had a very unique comedic gift. He had an excellent knowledge of human nature. Try It's Me Again, Margaret and Sittin Up with the Dead.
Oh man, that took me back. My radio used to do Sunday oldies in the morning and someone would always call in for a Ray Stevens song. He’s got so many good ones. Please, please watch the Streak. I was laughing during your whole video, Britt.
I remember when this song came out. Love it to this day! And I LOVE your comments!!
Ray Stevens is a living legend he was of the original comedy song guys. so many great songs erik the awful, surfin ussr, guitarzan, staying up with the dead, the streak, its me again margaret and many more
Ray Steven's also wrote and sang the theme for canonball run
Ray had a great serious song "Everything Is Beautiful "
Ray Stevens wrote some truly gorgeous songs. But he was most well known for songs like this, that were hilarious on the surface on top of some wonderfully biting social commentary.
My favorite karaoke song, know every word to a "T" ‼🤣
I still occasionally start singing "The Flies Of Texas Are Upon You" at random. I live in the Greater Houston Area. LOL People are either offended or very entertained.
You should react to Ray Steven's sitting up with the dead.
I grew up on this song and I love it so much!
"Sittin' Up With The Dead" - he did many comedic songs. For a more serious and beautiful one he does; "Everything Is Beautiful" ❤
People also ask
Is the Mississippi Squirrel Revival based on a true story?
The famous song told about visiting Mississippi and experiencing “the day the squirrel went berserk in the First Self-Righteous Church in that sleepy little town of Pascagoula.” Ironically, a squirrel really did go berserk in the First Baptist Church in the sleepy little town of Poplarville.
My dad grew up in Arkansas and he, as a boy caught a squirrel with his bare hands. He has the scar on the back of his left hand as proof. LOL!!
Ray was a rock and roller back in the 60's
Sittin' Up With The Dead is one of the songs that I want played at my funeral, 😂
That man is an absolute legend
A legend in country-fried novelty music LMAO
Ray has some great non-comedic songs that are overshadowed by his comedy ones. "Everything is Beautiful" and "Misty" are both great.
When I was growing up, my church (the First Baptist) needed a squirrel revival. It could have used a few more "Amens!" and Hallelujahs!"
One of the greatest comedy in the world
Ray Steven's has so many songs that I love. Most of the ones I have heard are comedic but he does have some serious ones.
shriners convention is a good ray stevens song and would jesus wear a rolex.... u need to react to that one
I love would jesus wear a rolex. So good.
As a Shriner I *might* have some insight here ROFL
This was one of my absolutely favorite songs when I was a kid. I didn't get the meaning behind it but I loved it.
We found a squirrel in our church one day (I think we were cleaning, not on a Sunday). We played this video for the pastor and all had a good laugh. We did get the squirrel out safely (and no one confessed). 😂
lol this shows how young you are. It isn't, 'serious', a 'parody', it's just Ray Stevens hahaha. Grew up watching this as a kid and loving it. His stuff is hilarious.
You should watch his song....Sittin' Up With The Dead
I saw that Church when I was in the Navy at the "Navy Ship Building Facility". back around the year 2000. there was another name for it then.
"Taylor Swift is Stalking Me" is my new favorite by Ray Stevens. 😂
he wrote comedy music about the stuff that was going on in the day. The Streak is about the people streaking at events, It's me again Margaret was about all the people making obscene phone calls etc
If you've ever lived there......Bless your heart..... if you know, you know.
Probably my favorite song about my home state of Mississippi.
I got robbed by a squirrel at the Boston Common. He ran straight up my leg, ripped the peanut out from my hand, and ran away. I had no idea they could be like that.
If you haven't heard of Ray Stevens, look him up. He is best known for his parody fun songs, which I love (best known is probably "The Streak", but there are others I like better such as "Sitting up with the Dead". However, he also did a couple of very beautiful songs. He did "Everything is Beautiful" which is a must hear, and he got a Grammy for his version of "Misty" which actually started out just he and his band messing around in the studio.
Everything Is Beautiful
I've been watching u for bout a year. I love your enthusiasm and joy u have in doing this. Keep it up. Congrats on all the success
Thank you so much!!
Mrs. Britt, I'm fixin to tell you a true story. Our church went to Pasgagoula, Mississippi, to help out with the hurricane Katrina victims. We were there for 5 days, and we attended a church in Pasgagoula, and our Pastor kept singin this song, and they all thought he'd lost his mind !
