This song was so popular that actually made it into a film of the same name, and it starred Barbara Eden of "I Dream Of Genie" fame.
I was just going to say.😊
Yup, I was going there too Matthew.
Same here Matt . A fun film about a single mother getting her revenge , on the close minded school board in Harper Valley
There was even a television series on NBC with Barbara Eden that lasted one or two seasons.
It was also made into a series, with Barbara Eden. Lasting 2 seasons. I remember watching it in the early 1980's...
Tom T Hall wrote this song - they called him The Storyteller for good reason. Some of his songs are: "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died", "I Love", "Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine" and "I Like Beer".
Is "I Love" the little baby ducks song?
@@juliewhite7469 yes it is. I absolutely love Tom T. Hall.
I came here to say this. Tom T. Hall was a songwriter’s songwriter and a storyteller’s storyteller. No one could tell a store in song like him.
I didn’t realize Tom T Hall wrote it. That makes it even better!
Like all those mentioned, but "Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine"🐕🦺🧒🍷 Is prob my Favorite Tom T Hall song
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.
she puts the whole town on blast 😆
There are two songs that I consider the greatest female story songs in country. This one and "Ode to Billy Joe" by Bobbie Gentry
Add Genty’s Fancy to that list.
I LOVE Ode to Billy Joe!! Robbie Benson was so good in that movie. ❤️
I was just wondering if they've reacted to "Ode to Billy Joe" yet.
Ode to Billy Joe would be great
Reba's "The Christmas Guest" , Dolly's "Coat of Many Colors", "Independence Day" - Martina
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.
Spelled "Peyton". Read the book by Grace Metallis(sp?). A real page turner and best seller. Torrid!
And I believe it was a soap opera too.
@@rebeccaeisenhuth Yeah, I think you are right... or if not a soap opera a night time series ???
They've replaced Peyton Place with Buckingham Palace.
"People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, because the other person may be chucking boulders!"
Ultimate shade. She gave it right back.
After being a single mom of 2 daughters for nearly 18 years, I have a deep appreciation for this song. One of my girls is an Architect; the other one has a BS in biology along with epilepsy. I could not be more proud. I certainly ran into a pile of judgmental mothers😢
The proof's in the pudding. You did good, Mom. :)
Sounds like you did a wonderful job!!! And, you know what those judgemental mothers can do!!!!!🤣🤣
@@lynnschnekenburger7270 I just winged it
@@jennifermartin7791 thank you! They are 31 and 35 now. I love them so much
@@lynnschnekenburger7270 and I was always a blue Jean girl lol! No short skirts. Thank you for your feedback. It means a 😂
Female Friday:: Vicki Lawrence "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia"
The Harper Valley PTA still rules the country.
Using lots of ice, the ice man must have been visiting too often when her husband wasn’t in town lol.
The song was written by Tom T. Hall, who is a great singer himself and is nicknamed "the storyteller" within country music. Some of his most popular songs were "Old dogs, children, and watermelon wine", "That's how I got to memphis", "The year Clayton Delaney died", and "A week in a county jail."
I liked Tom T. Hall's "I Like Beer." The title says it all.
Homecoming was another good one
I also enjoyed "Don't forget the coffee billy joe." Nobody has ever been able to write a song and tell a story like Tom T Hall.
Week In A County Jail is a masterpiece of a little diddy. Tom had so many good songs. So sad the way he died.
I like Tom T. Hall!! Lots of good songs on his album, "Magnificent Music Machine". 💋💖💋💖💋💖😄😄😄🦄
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.
Coat of many colours is by none other than Dolly Parton ❤
Amber, you really need to have your mom on the channel to do a reaction with you. I believe most all of us would love to meet her .
ua-cam.com/video/02UMv2wEs6A/v-deo.html
As adults my kids still love this song..I was not the typical PTA mom ... my daughter says today I would not even be allowed on campus
If you want old country and story history you need to play Johnny Horton sink the Bismarck
They wouldn't let me chaperone field trips for my daughter's class... I was too scary... lol. The kids were bummed.. they said I was the coolest mom around hahaha. They didn't think so. I get it.. !!
That means you're a fabulous mom!!!!!😂😊
Is nice to see young people getting into older music ,the stuff they make today is total garbage and the songs back then told many stories.
It didn't occur to me until years later how awesome and subversive it was for my mom to let me wear my KISS t-shirt for first grade class photo day. In 1977. In south Alabama. She wouldn't have put up with any nonsense out of the Harper Valley PTA either. 🤜
This was such a hit they made it into a movie.
I think there was a TV series for a while too. Not 100% sure on that.
@@BigSleepyOx yep, only lasted one season though.
@@BigSleepyOx Yep, it sure was a TV series. It ran for 30 episodes ( 2 seasons) and starred Barbara Eden.
Now I wanna watch it. Barbara Eden.
@@dennisloveland498 I remember that.🤣
The guitarist is a genius, and his jacket is the absolute shizzle. I would wear that
thing every day until I died.
Another blast from the past taking me back to my kiddy days
Same here!!!!
Another story teller song is “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia”. The original was done by Vickie Lawrence back in the 70s but I believe Reba did a version of it too.
The way she did her hair, her a-line dress and the white boots were very popular in the sixties.
Harper Valley PTA was also a movie staring Barbara Eden as the mother, Stella Johnson. The movie was such a hit that she reprised her role for the tv series that lasted two years.
She is a cousin of my husband. We live in west Texas. She’s sweet as can be. Hardly recognizable though. We have get togethers now and then and she always has stories about other singers from back when she had this hit.
She and I were born in the same little town of Anson, Texas. She moved to Nashville after the birth of her daughter.
She became born-again Christian in the 1970s and I went on to record gospel music.
@@roncypert8255
We lived in Anson for awhile. My husband’s grandparents were lifelong residents there until they passed. A bunch of us sometimes meet up at the park in Anson for get-togethers and singing. Me and my husband now live and work in Abilene.
@@allimaetx4315 We moved when I was three. My Dad had a farm near Funston. The drought of the 50s forced him to sell. I still have family members all around north of Abilene……
Stamford, Haskell, Rochester, Weinert, Munday. Knox City…..
My parents are buried at the Munday cemetery. Visits are still referred to as “going home”.
Great story song from 1968. Then, in 1984, she released the sequel, Return To Harper Valley. You have to check it out for the rest of the story.
I’m not sure if I ever heard that one. If I have I was young and it’s been awhile. Nothing pops to mind right away.
Thats a real buzz kill to the good original one
@@90hatter90 It's…not good. Sometime in the 70s Jeannie was born again, and unfortunately it turned her into a bore.
“Return to Harper Valley” is a dull and disappointing apology for the original song. Zzzzzzzz.
@@edaycock9405
You’re entitled to your opinion Eddie Boy, after all everybody has one. They’re like……………..Aw you know the rest!! 😂😂😂
“Hey. Mama said hold up now”. Lol. Yup. You two make me laugh. And that’s priceless. Rock on you two. 😆👍🏻
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❤
A big hit for Jeannie and about 20 years after she did a sequel Return To Harper Valley !! This song was played a lot on the radio 💜☮️
ua-cam.com/video/02UMv2wEs6A/v-deo.html
OMG
My Dad was SOOOOOO in love with her way back when
❣️❣️❣️😢
ua-cam.com/video/02UMv2wEs6A/v-deo.html
Has anyone suggested Bobbie Gentry singing "Ode to Billy Joe"? Bobbie is a fantastic country singer, songwriter, storyteller, and guitarist. She had it all. You should listen to that one.
Huge hit. I loooove this song!! Inspired a movie. She owned those hypocrites!!! ❤ PTA - Parent Teacher Association.
Had a friend whose mom called our principal a Harper Valley Son of a Bitch one year.😒
Harper Valley PTA Was a big hit and it later became a film and a TV series.
This song is forever connected to the memory of my mother, a teacher, having to go to work at night (the PTA). She would say that she had to go to the Harper Valley PTA. I was about 11 and asked her if it was the one in the song. LOL. I also asked her if Payton Place was a real place--it wasn't--but it was a real popular tv show.
Peyton Place was popular night time soap.
I'd say every town is probably a hidden Payton place
@@deeanna3335 Actually Peyton place was a book, later made into a movie and, even later into a TV series. It was a drama about all sorts of sexual abuse hidden under the cover of an ordinary small town. It became synonymous with a facade of seeming middle class normality which is a cover for a culture of corruption and depravity.
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.
I remember when this song was all over the radio .... HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂
I love this Mother. They threw stones, she threw rocks.
Love that song, love that woman. Great singer and so adorably cute. And props to the dude doing the slide guitar.
This is classic. Some "southern Gothic" aongs for your story-telling reaction pleasure: Bobbie Gentry "Ode to Billy Joe" (I can't remember if you've done that song already) and "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence (you might want to use a lyric video for that one so you can follow the plot better).
There is a movie by the same title starring Barbara Eden, of I Dream of Genie. Ms. Johnson demolishes the entire PTA, with a pink elephant along for the ride. It was a made for TV movie, very funny. 🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍
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.
You can just imagine this actually happening in small towns all over the world. Busy bodies snooping into your own private business. This song was a huge hit. Such a great memory. Great reaction from the Teachers. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Sung by Jeannie C. Reilly, and if I'm remembering right, there was a TV movie built around this song starring Barbara Eden, who was Jeannie in I Dream of Jeannie!
I remember the song and movie…..so much fun learning the words and singing the whole story! My mother had to deal with a situation almost similar it involved a group of nosy teachers! We started calling my Mom Jeannie Riley :)
She lives in my little Texas country town. She’s so kind. Loves Jesus. Friendly as heck.
This is a sweet story. Thank you peace
Amber, baby girl......I just love this song "the harper valley p.t.a. (parent teacher association) because something like this happened to me in small town Addison, Illinois!!! 🎉 ❤ 🎉 ❤
Everyone loved this song back in the day!
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.
Awesome song!! She sings so clearly and socked it to them !! Plus she puts a smile on her face
Jeannie C. Riley SPILLIN' THE "T"!! 🤣🤣🤣
I lovvveeeee this song !!!!!!!!!
A classic!
Love this old song.
I believe in the vernacular of the young today: "they just got read". Glad to see you know what it is like in a small town.
Jay & Amber, "The Girl Most Likely" was another one of her top 10 US Country chart hits!
“The wedding cake”,”There never was a time”, and “Generation Gap”.Are great Jeannie songs. My favorite is “Shed me no tears”.
ua-cam.com/video/02UMv2wEs6A/v-deo.html
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 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.)
This song was made into a movie & a tv show. I used to watch the show with my mom when I was a kid.
Don’t mess with mama!
They also made a movie based on this great song. Maybe you could check it out on your movie channel?
_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._
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.
This song has stuck with me for 40 yrs. Not sure why except its a slap ure face story song.
Thanks for the reminder about how much I LOVE this song!
There was also a movie and a tv sitcom based off this song. Another great tune from a TV sitcom is Believe it or Not, the theme from Greatest American Hero song by Joey Scarbury
It's a shame that with her beautiful singing voice and drop-dead-gorgeous looks that she didn't become an even bigger star.
One of my mother's favorite songs she would always dance around the house on Saturday mornings cleaning the house great memories as she would pulling us up and dance with us
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
I was wondering when you’d get around to this classic. It was so unique and HUGELY popular!
The guitar is such a big part of this song . . it has a voice of its own. . just great.
ua-cam.com/video/02UMv2wEs6A/v-deo.html
She spilled the tea all over the PTA...lol...
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.
As others have said, that was written by the great Tom T. Hall, the storyteller. Amazing singer and songwriter. My favorites are I Love and Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine. ❤
A number one smash on both the Billboard pop singles and country music charts that later inspired a movie that later became a short lived television series starring Barbara Eden.
I loved this song as a kid and my kids now love this song and when it comes on, the volume goes up and the windows go down!
Such an honest song that unfortunately still fits even today. ✌️
Amazing song . Guitar playing is incredible
That guy on the dobro just kills it in this . incredible
There is this song called as soon as I hang up the phone. It has two artists that you have reacted to and loved which are Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. It is in certain parts of speaking song. But it helps at your heart strings and it is so beautiful. My dad used to help me call Saturday night while he was sitting in the backyard listening to classic country on the radio., The radio station to request this song. It is one of my most memories of my dad, he’s been gone for 20 years now
She was the first artist I ever saw live. I might have been 10, and I’ve had a crush on her for the 50 plus years since!! Thanks for this reaction!
kinda shocked me, that you haven't reacted to this gem - JCR is a firecracker
The other day my friend and I were discussing the Tennessee drag ban. I said they needed somebody like Dolly Parton (a great Tennessean!) to show up and tell off their congress "Harper Valley PTA style".
My friend didn't know what I was talking about, so I got to introduce him to this classic.
Another female story teller is Bobbie Gentry and the name of her song is Ode To Billie Joe. They even made a movie in 1976 based on this song. It was directed and produced by Max Baer Jr. who was one of the cast of the 1962 TV series the Bevery Hillbillies. He was also the son of the heavy weight champion between 1934 and 1935, Max Baer.
Jay & Amber… Great Reaction,… Keep in mind, the timing of the song in history… This country song was released in 1968 during the height of the Viet Nam War, to a ultra conservative society of country music fans… At the time, this song was considered to be very scandalous, and thus was banned by numerous country radio stations in the US… Another female trailblazer in country music, was Loretta Lynn, with her very controversial song “The Pill”, which was recorded in 1972, but not released until 1975 ( after the Roe V. Wade case in 1973)…Both songs pushed the envelope of country music, which had it’s roots in very straight laced Gospel & Bluegrass Music… Good Luck Jjh
didn't they make a movie based on this tune?
And a TV series
I have always liked this song. Jeannie does have a beautiful voice🙂
Love it! A classic from Jeannie C Riley! ❤
The guitar is often called a dobro or resonator guitar. It's basically an acoustic slide guitar, at least in terms of how it's played. That "slide" sound often gives country music its distinct sound, particularly with the alternate picking style used to pluck the strings (usually with finger picks, although some do use their fingernails or tips of their fingers instead.) I remember this and a host of other country songs from this era being played on the little AM radio Mom kept locked to the Country station when I was young. Great choice, glad to hear this finally played, I know it's been requested often!
Lord this takes me back! I forgot how much I love this song. It's a gem and I'm glad y'all listened to this! Loved y'alls reactions.
ua-cam.com/video/02UMv2wEs6A/v-deo.html
This was my favorite song as a young girl!! My Mama was in the PTA..My cousin &I sang it with our hairbrush microphones all the time😂😂 great reaction guys thanks!!
We ALL wanted to be that mom in the PTA!!!! Love the dobro in this video.
all time classic! ♥
Ms Johnson had ALL THE SMOKE 😂😂
Jeannie is a real talent and a real country gal. And just listen to that authentic southern accent! Love the way she draws out "room" ("And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her miniskirt into the rooooom!") 🥰. Jeannie is a native Texan by the way. She's got a pure country heart. 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! 😁❤
The guitar being played in called either a Resonator Guitar or a DoBro. DoBro is a copyrighted manufacturer. It was made before guitars were amplified.
Rest in Peace Tom T. Hall. Our prayers are with you. Thank you, you two for this video.
Love this song, great groove. I hear country blues. Terrific voice!
I am so glad you reacted to this classoc...thanks to your mom Amber for recommending this song.
She called them all out...yessss!
In the late 70s this song became a movie starring Barbara Eden from I dream of Jeanie. Later in the 80s it became a TV series.
ua-cam.com/video/02UMv2wEs6A/v-deo.html
🥰Love to who requested this. A Mum singing memory. Loved the reaction too. Bless yas 🥰☝️🤓
man was jeannie a knockout - along with the song. huge hit as it should have been. damn - that dude on the dobro playing a mean slide guitar
Jeanie C Riley is a absolute legend in country music just if you ask me,, love that lady's works.
*an
Thank you guys for playing all these old songs! I haven’t heard this song in forever. Boy! Things have never changed have they?
Tom T Hall‘s song, I Love, is a great cheerful song. It’s a must listen.
I absolutely love this song. It came out when I was quite young and it shows the incredible hypocrisy and she calls it out
SO happy you finally got to hear this song!
