    A lot of the younger generation, never get the 'Payton Place' remark in this song.
    Back in the early 1970's it was still a well known book and movie from the late 1950s. It was about a small town, Payton Place, where everything on the surface looked perfect...but behind the scenes there were incidents of incest, suicide, drunkenness, cheating spouses, and even murder.

    When I was in junior high, I borrowed this '45' from a friend and took it home to play on my little record player with my bedroom door shut. My parents were strict, and I assumed they wouldn't want me listening to any song where someone 'socks it to' the PTA. Then I heard my parents from the living room yelling at me to turn it up. Uh-oh, I thought i was in troooooouble!. Nope, they liked it and they wanted me to play it louder so they could hear it better! Go figure.

    This song was a HUGE Number One record for her and I'm pretty sure was Number One on the country charts, too. She was never able to follow up her success in quite the same way again. She reminds me a bit of Bobbie Gentry in that the story of the song is the thing. Of course, story telling has a long history in country music. Dolly Parton is a good example.

      Peyton Place WAS a REAL place! Author Grace Metalous was from New England, New Hampshire to be exact. After the book was written there were lawsuits filed against her for defamation (So, perhaps Gracie 'Hit the Nail 'a little too close to the head writing her 'novel.') She was said to become a hard drinker, dumped her husband and went to Texas. Somewhere along the line she pulled herself together, went back to her husband, It was reported the community members in New Hampshire blocked her family from burying her there. THAT's how far her book deeply enraged her community.

    My mom wasn’t the most attentive, and there was a lot of dysfunction in my family growing up. But she had a period of time when I was in elementary school where she was consistently involved in my school activities, and volunteered to be one of the lunch monitor moms. My friends loved her because she was pretty and dressed cool-tight, acid-washed jeans (in the 80s), and cute little sweaters. My Catholic school administrators didn’t like her because she dressed in tight, acid-washed jeans and cute little sweaters 😂 They eventually asked her to step down because she didn’t fit their mold and ignored their reprimands. Which was sad, because I think being involved helped ground her even in her mental illness, and it’s some of the best times I remember with her.

    On past videos Jay had asked about various slide instruments. The instrument at the start of this song is called a dobro; it's characterized by the metal disc over the opening in the guitar. It is one of the classic country and blues instruments.

      A dobro is a brand it is a resonator guitar. I hate when people call a resonator a Dobro cause that is not what they are.

    Tom T Hall grew up with my mother and her older sister, dated my aunt, in fact. He wrote this song about their home tow of Olive Hill, Ky, which at that time was a sweet little Mayberry type town. But like lots of little towns, had its gossipy groups. Brings back memories of my mom, aunt and grandmother telling these stories❤

    This song was written by the great Tom T. Hall, who was a big country star in his own right. Check out " The Day Clayton Delaney Died" or "I Love". Also the show that Jeannie appeared on was The Wilburn Brothers Show, which ran from 1963-1974 and is just about forgotten about today. The brothers had Loretta Lynn as a regular on the show and she and Jeannie sang Act Naturally together, I think on the very same show.

    _Peyton Place_ had been seen as a pair of movie melodramas in the late 50s/early 60s, which led to a "prime time soap opera" TV series as of 1964, typically airing in half-hour episodes three nights a week, still going in 1968 when this song came out. Also, "Sock it to..." (usually "me") was a popular expression that year thanks largely to _Laugh-In._

    • @larrylawson2912
      @larrylawson2912 8 місяців тому

      Another Laugh-In gem was-"Here comes the Judge." Sammy Davis Jr. would don his black robe and those weird wigs they would wear in British courts, and he'c go-"Here comes the Judge. Here comes the Judge. Here comes the Judge" and then he'd do short court skit where he was the judge presiding over a trial. It was usually pretty funny. In 1969 Pontiac came out with the GTO Judge option, it was immediately popular and sold well. But sales dropped and they only made the Judge version GTO for three years. We'd see one on the road you'd automatically say-"Here come the Judge" or "There goes the Judge" if it was trailing away from us. It was a badass car. Muscle cars of the late 60s and early 70s were the shit. Good times for me in my late teens and early 20s.

    though she didn't write the song, her version of it was a huge hit, and her biggest hit, with huge crossover appeal, #1 Billboard Country chart and #1 on the Hot 100 & Cashbox, was also #1 in Canada & Australia, and was 11th on the Billboard Hot 100 for 1968

    Peyton Place was first a book, then a movie, about the hypocrisy of American life, and the name became synonymous with the kind of thing going on in this song.
    At the time this song came out, many places in America still used icemen to deliver ice to one's home. The idea that Mrs. Taylor would "use a lot of ice" when her husband's gone is that she's got a man on the side. This was a thing throughout the early to mid-20th century - because so many things were delivered (ice, milk, groceries, etc.) it was much easier for a wife to get into an entanglement if she had a mind to. So a whole crop of metaphors and innuendo grew up around the delivery guy, the handyman, the plumber, etc. (Oh god, the plumber. He's still a staple of crappy p0rn.)

    You should check out the movie of the same name that was made about this song. It stars Barbara Eden who played "Jeannie" in I Dream of Jeannie. A great sitcom from the 60's about a jeannie whose bottle ends up being found by a shuttle pilot from NASA. Barbara is still beautiful at 91.

And Jeannie was a real looker back in the day. That's one goooood lookin' lady! 😍🥰 And not many ladies donned a mini skirt and go-go boots better than she did! 😁❤
