absolutely love this guy. Been listening to him since late 80's. Perfect music for crzn in the woods. Great video, and editing. Made me laugh like crazy.
@luv24real "Flit" was a a brand of insect spray used long ago (like "Raid" or "Hot Shot" now). It was applied by a canister with a screw-on sprayer. These were known as "Flit guns".
This song is actually about the Liberalization of Boulder, CO in the 70s But now you could say any town these days cuz the crispy critters growin up on ipads ipods iphones. Steve jobs sure was a space cadet
Your Pictures were great. I used to play this all the time too. I like the fact that the crispy critters won. I haven't heard this since I stopped being able to use my phonograph about twenty years ago.
I think Telluride was the city he became mayor of back in the 80's, he used to vacation there, after his recording career he could afford to live there
I think this song is a compilation of Telluride and Ouray, since the swimming pool and fish pond are in Ouray, and most of the crispy critters are in Telluride :)
I was just a kid when this was going around.... WWE Raw.....seems to be the most sane thing that I can think of to watch ...if you consider violence sane....
Donald Duck is the best example of a SPACE CADET!! He is a bat$hit crazy psychopathic space cadet! And the Europeans call him Donald Duck, and it fits him!
Willie Daniels, The "Europeans"? Well damn! I hadn't realised that the all important "Europeans" made a comment. Just damn........ WOW! The "Europeans", eh? Shazam, Willie, shazam!!!
i'd like to see someone put some stars over the heads of the "wall street hippies" we got to day...we ant got none around hear..and that's good..it's better for there heath
Whoever made this slideshow did a great job. impressed But the last minute of the song shows what they do when you dont accept them. They make you by getting on the government and imposing their personal want and thoughts onto you while censoring the others.
this is my theme song. i have to deal with a bunch of fuckheads and loosing in the end. by the way a space cadet is a high air head, for those of you who dont know
Love this song. I remember when it first came out. Laughed until my sides hurt. THANK YOU C.W. MCCALL F I R THE HOURS OF ENJOYMENT.
I remember riding down the interstate with my dad, in a 53 Pete with double boxes, when I heard this song for the very first time!
cw. mccall is one of the best contry singers ever.
i love contry music becose many songs make you laugh
Can't believe I grew up listening to C. W. McCall my whole life, and my mom never heard this one.
"Beats the hell out of me, Roy." I still say that whenever somebody asks me a question and I don't know the answer....
Me too!
One of my father's all time favorites.
absolutely love this guy. Been listening to him since late 80's. Perfect music for crzn in the woods. Great video, and editing. Made me laugh like crazy.
Love all his tunes.thankyou.
In under 3 minutes, the story of a lot of small towns from 1967 to about 1970
when hippies became mainstream and took over.

this is a brilliant
series of photos. burst out laughing at the start
In 1976 CW McCall predicted 2019 San Francisco
And Seattle. And Portland.
That the truth ! But it is squeezing in all over the country ! TRUMP 2020 !!

This happened to ever nice town in the West.
Your Pictures were great. I used to play this all the time too. I like the fact that the crispy critters won. I haven't heard this since I stopped being able to use my phonograph about twenty years ago.
Additionally, best ending to a song ever; "And the mayor was a space cadet."
This could fit well for some of the Mayors of today as many of them are space cadets.
C.W. McCall was elected Mayor someplace at one time I heard! Careful what you write a song about! LOL
@@waynejones205 Mayor of Ouray, Colorado
@@compscript7973 Thanks. I knew was somewhere West. Any idea how long he served?
I think Telluride was the city he became mayor of back in the 80's, he used to vacation there, after his recording career he could afford to live there
It was Ouray
great fun song and good work on your part
I think this song is a compilation of Telluride and Ouray, since the swimming pool and fish pond are in Ouray, and most of the crispy critters are in Telluride :)
Really very well done!
This is true history of Colorado. :-)
And California, the Moonbeam State.
If nothing else makes life worth living, this certainly does... :)
Wow...had this 45 when I was a kid...came out in '76, huh? Damn....quite a while ago....I was 12! Yikes!! :)
"Get the incense goin' and the sitar out!" 😹😹😹
I was just a kid when this was going around.... WWE Raw.....seems to be the most sane thing that I can think of to watch ...if you consider violence sane....
B-E-A-U ty song, brings back lots of memories
C.W. is alive and well living in Ouray, CO .... BOB
I thought this was a song about the peoples republic of boulder....
Indeed. We do need more washboard.

Now the whole damn left coast is crispy critters and I'm forced to live among them.
The story of Telluride, Colorado
good pic of the marshalls Plymouth
@thedicksonsfarm Telluride has been mentioned before by McCall. Listen closely to *Black Bear Road*...
Minneapolis ? Seattle ?
We had a president who was a space cadet.
John Acord
He's still in office, and his mom was one of the original crispy critters.
Well now we have one who is a waterhead!
Donald Duck is the best example of a SPACE CADET!! He is a bat$hit crazy psychopathic space cadet! And the Europeans call him Donald Duck, and it fits him!
Donald trump is not a space cadet and if you think that pull your head out of your ass
Willie Daniels, The "Europeans"? Well damn! I hadn't realised that the all important "Europeans" made a comment. Just damn........ WOW! The "Europeans", eh? Shazam, Willie, shazam!!!

got 15 seconds to get out of town or we'll blow you to mars...
I LOVE Heath bars!
U rock thanks
What they was was some of them crispy critters and their mayor was a space cadet.
Pretty sure this song was about when the hippies took over Telluride in the late 60s.
Yup.
this is my theme song. i have to deal with a bunch of fuckheads and loosing in the end. by the way a space cadet is a high air head, for those of you who dont know
And that is how San Francisco came to be.
One person is a space cadet...
just goes to show u .....crispy critters r smarter than law enforcement
+robert thompson Numbers do not equal intelligence.
i heard this on ktaos
Ann Arbor Mi.
Obama is the space cadet
Know this.
so why are they called crispy critters?
Good question, next question
They’re all toasted.
Because they fried their brain to a crisp trying to be sensible and smart
burnouts
ROTFLMAO
then they were crispy critters and via evolution..... #OpStopTheBullshit #Anonymous
It would been funnier if there was a Fortnite purple Battle Bus.
Am I the only 14 yr old here... haha
Jean Tori I'm 13 lol
I'm a 13 year old hillbilly
I'm giving a thumbs up for the song but I don't agree with the message at all.
If you don't agree with this song you must be a little softie. Hippies can suck ass
funny .but get off jhonny!!
I wish this song had a banjo solo instead of the “yah” “yah” stuff towards the end. Would have been epic.
This is a riot! TY!
