One of the last concerts my late hubby and I saw was Ray Stevens. We laughed till we hurt. Thank you for a very special memory and for your happy and family friendly songs. It's something this society needs desperately these days.
Ray Stevens nailed it!! She's absolutely everywhere on every channel and I swear she did two concerts at the same time last year!! It's not paranoia if someone is out to get ya!! Save us Ray!!
+Fred Azbell I like that he's so clever with them. It's one thing to write a song about Taylor Swift stalking him. I mean, that's funny on its face. But that he can also use her song titles as his verse and tie everything together -- that's just a brilliant musical mind, IMO.
Ray is an octogenarian now, and it's good to know that he hasn't lost his wit. Keep making us laugh, Ray! We love you! P. S. Congratulations on your country music Hall of Fame induction!
Ray Stevens is the person to listen to when feeling down. He'll make you smile, and he'll make you laugh in no time. A wonderfully funny singer with a great voice.
Pam Norton I've often asked myself that same question! I guess the non-humorous, the uptight, the politically correct, and the malcontents don't like him or his music.
My sister and I use to play his records on our old record player down in our basement. We knew all of his songs by heart! I love that he’s still making music 😂
MusicLover, you are so right! Ray is a legend and an icon. He has given us songs that will still be playing when we're long gone. I was so happy to find this, even though I was late to the party. Genius. I love it.
What is there not to like about this? Lighten up people. He's brilliant and a living legend. Bet ya Taylor Swift is delighted to have her name on this label.
I remember listening to Ray back in the late 80s/early 90s with my grandfather when I was a kid, I'm glad to see he's still making music. Listening to him brings back memories of the good ole days. I'm a fan for life.
Ray don't do it for anyone else but himself and those in the upper strata of intelligent human beings. He served em Haterade when they get real thirsty 😂
Ray has made a gazillion dollars over the last few decades and still enjoys releasing new material from "time to time". Every second someone in this world repeats: "It's me a again Margaret"! Laughter is certainly timeless! It's wonderful to see his occasional music video (new or old) and to know he's alive & well. Glad I found this video and look forward to more.
I kid you not, my English teacher (who loves Taylor Swift, he has TS posters in our classroom) put this whole video on the projector today during class 😂😂
Ray, you have brightened up my life with your songs since I was a child. I still believe that you are the greatest comedic artist I’ve ever known. I love your non-comedy songs as well. I inherited my Mom’s record collection. Yay! Thank you dear friend for sharing your tremendous talent with us all these years. You’re always going to be a cherished favorite of mine. Merry Christmas to you and yours, love, Brenda P ❤
I love Ray Stevens. Even saw him in person once! I have a video of his with several of his music videos on it, but it is so old that this isn't on there. I don't even think Taylor was around yet. Thank goodness for TH-cam. I love this video!
Ray Stevens is still makeing me laugh . I had to put my hand over my mouth from keeping disrupting people. Thank you Ray for all videos and still makeing people laugh !!
Hope Margaret don't take her out!...Grew up listening to this guy, glad to see he's still crankin' em out. First one I've heard in almost 15yrs. We could all use a bit of good hearted comedy in today's world! THANKS RAY!!! You just put a smile in my day! Keep em coming!...Who else wants to see what he could come up with about Kim Kardashian, a weed eater and a squirrel???!!!
bagdadder98 I happened to be listening on the internet the night he performed the song for the first time in a concert setting. I forever remain a fan of his. I still don't understand anybody that has any complaint about this harmless comedy song.
BAGDADDER98, I am so mad! After I read your comment I tried to find a video of Ray debuting this at the Grand Ole Opry and no matter what I keyed in I could not find it! Grrr! I envy you having seen its debut.
Wow! After all these years, I can't believe he's still making more songs. That's amazing! The Comedy Video Classics tape is like, my childhood. My grandma used to have it at her house, and just about every time we'd go over there I'd watch it! I'm rewatching them right now and laughing my ass off.
This... This song just brings a smile to my face! It’s so funny! I have been a fan of Ray Steven’s from birth. Fond memories of my great granny putting on The Streak for me and yelling “don’t look Ethel!” Her name was actually Ethel so that made it funnier. She passed away about 19 years ago but listening to Ray’s music is a way to remember good things. And this song is also very funny and I think my great granny would have loved this too!
"He ain't rude, he ain't crude, he's just in the mood to run in the nude". Lol😅😂😅 I am so grateful I was alive during the Age of Streaking. What a blast that was. 😆 🤣 😂
"It's me again Taylor" "They got me, Taylor" "And when I get out Taylor, I'm gonna come over with a weed-eater...and a live chicken...and some cool-whip, hee! hee!" "Are ya naked?!!!"
Was 30-31 when "The Streak" was a hit. I was at a drag take in K.C. watching.husband race & took our little one year old boy to car to get him to sleep. The crowd let out a huge roar. I couldn't see what was happening & then a STREAKER ran off the track & back thru the parked cars & RIGHT IN FROMT OF ME! I laffed so hard & sang a little bit of "oh yes they call him the streak" FUN memory...thanks Ray! I'm not Ethel, but I looked!😂
I'm so sad that I didn't see this for five years. My mom had a ray steven's VHS with some of his "music videos" on them. We watched them so much. I love this!!!
This man is hilarious 😆 asf !!! I’ve listened to him back with my parents!!! I’ve never heard this about Taylor Swift!!! So Damn Cool 😎 and Funny 😆!!!!
Ray brother your an inspiration love all your work! Whenever I need a good laugh always listening to Ya, appreciate all you've done as an entertainer!! God bless you Ray Stevens!
Believe me, this man has been in the business for so long, he took all the right legal steps to produce this song, including have her approve of it. She probably saw it as great publicity.
He is such a great entertainer, he has me laughing so hard with his songs/videos. I love seeing his videos and listening to his songs/story telling.. Great person,, you are, Ray Stevens!
As I said, it's great to see/hear Ray Stevens still writing and releasing new songs. Even more surprising how relevant they are. Even THIS ONE! Sure, it was written and recorded 8 years ago, but Taylor Swift is more popular then ever, and is still appearing on magazine covers, and other places. I wonder if Ms. Swift herself is aware of this song? I'm sure she has enough of a sense of humor about herself that she'd be flattered by it, especially by such a legend like Mr. Stevens. I'm not a "Swiftie" but I liked this song, and I hope Ms Swift does too, assuming she's heard it.
That's Cyrus "Buddy" Kalb. He's been a part of Ray's inner circle for many years. If you look at the songwriter credits on a lot of Ray's recordings you'll see Buddy's name written as C.W. Kalb, Jr. The names of the songwriters appear underneath the song titles. Buddy and his wife, Carlene, wrote "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival" for Ray. Buddy's appeared on just about every music video that Ray's put together.
Good to see he still making good fun songs
One of the last concerts my late hubby and I saw was Ray Stevens. We laughed till we hurt. Thank you for a very special memory and for your happy and family friendly songs. It's something this society needs desperately these days.
Ray has a unique comedic mind. The man never ceases to amaze me. He has kept me laughing all my life.
Ray Stevens nailed it!! She's absolutely everywhere on every channel and I swear she did two concerts at the same time last year!! It's not paranoia if someone is out to get ya!! Save us Ray!!
So is Elon Musk. Can't fart without running into him. And I fart a lot.
Hes mocking someone that thought she was stalking him
Turned out it was an owl
Ray Stevens can still turn out funny songs. He just never runs out of ideas.
+Fred Azbell I like that he's so clever with them. It's one thing to write a song about Taylor Swift stalking him. I mean, that's funny on its face. But that he can also use her song titles as his verse and tie everything together -- that's just a brilliant musical mind, IMO.
I agree
I love rey Stevens and I'm only eleven lol
I love Ray Stevens back when I was 11 also
Ray Stevens is still funny too this day i Absoluty Love Ray Stevens
Ray is an octogenarian now, and it's good to know that he hasn't lost his wit. Keep making us laugh, Ray! We love you!
P. S. Congratulations on your country music Hall of Fame induction!
No bigger compliment than to have Ray Stevens write a funny song about you!
***** I know! It's like being knighted by the Queen. Except Ray doesn't wear a dress. Well, not usually.
***** Heck no. I don't even know if he is married. None of this is that important to me. Have a great day.
***** Sounds like a cool project! You can't go wrong with him.
Is taylor swift is salking to me
That'swhat Ahab said!
Ray will be regarded as a legend when he passes. Lord willing that’s many years from now. Show him love now.
Ray Stevens is the person to listen to when feeling down. He'll make you smile, and he'll make you laugh in no time. A wonderfully funny singer with a great voice.
Who doesn't love Ray Stevens! He's great!
Pam Norton I've often asked myself that same question! I guess the non-humorous, the uptight, the politically correct, and the malcontents don't like him or his music.
ACcountryFan Johnny Carson for one. Never did understand that one. Maybe he just didn't care for country.
Pam Norton I love Ray Stevens!!!!
LMFAO I needed that 😂
Same
My sister and I use to play his records on our old record player down in our basement. We knew all of his songs by heart! I love that he’s still making music 😂
Hello Sheri, how are you doing today?
You are gorgeous for an old lady
ROFL You gotta Love Ray Stevens the ones that gave a Thumbs down doesn't know much about Ray's brand of humor and serious songs this man is a Legend
MusicLover, you are so right! Ray is a legend and an icon. He has given us songs that will still be playing when we're long gone. I was so happy to find this, even though I was late to the party. Genius. I love it.
MusicLover P love you
Music Lover P agreed. 👍
He is like me crazy
@HocusPocus Sally - Cool :)
What is there not to like about this? Lighten up people. He's brilliant and a living legend. Bet ya Taylor Swift is delighted to have her name on this label.

i grew up on this with my grandpa. i thank you for yall posting this to facebook. brings back so many good memories.
I have always loved Ray's funny songs. He is super talented.
Forget the haters, Ray. They forgot to strap on their sense of humor when they hit play. I'll keep watching.
@dandanthetaximan not going to lie that was funny
Let’s see, if you listen to Ray Stevens expect humour AND that’s exactly what we got. Got a smile and a chuckle from me
Me,too!
Ray don't do it for anyone else but himself and those in the upper strata of intelligent human beings. He served em Haterade when they get real thirsty 😂
Me too! I have been listening to you, Ray since I was a teen
Ray has made a gazillion dollars over the last few decades and still enjoys releasing new material from "time to time". Every second someone in this world repeats: "It's me a again Margaret"! Laughter is certainly timeless!
It's wonderful to see his occasional music video (new or old) and to know he's alive & well. Glad I found this video and look forward to more.
Amen! He has been good for the Red, White and Blue..
glenn carr France?
+just my opinion I think he's talking about Netherlands
mrsparex, so true. Ray is an icon and well deserved too. MY catch phrase is "Don't look, Ethel!" Cracks me up every time. lol
My Mom's favorite line: "It's me again, Margaret". 😆 🤣 😂 She used to just Crack up when she heard that. God rest her soul 🙏. 🙏 ❤
I love him!!!! I was 5 years old the first time I heard The Streak🤣.....I'm lucky my brother in law is just like him ....even plays the banjo!!
“Don’t look Ethel! But it’s too late she’d already been incensed”
When Ray Stevens makes a song about you, that's when you've made it.
Or when weird al parodies you
Nope xd
Stupid is as stupid does.
I would love for him to make a song about me! I would consider it a high honor because I have been his fan for over 30 years!
@@thannonhawkins7358 huh?
Grew up watching and listening Ray, love his shineghans 😁😂
I hope Ms.Swift takes this as the greatest compliment ever.Great song Mr.Stevens.
I kid you not, my English teacher (who loves Taylor Swift, he has TS posters in our classroom) put this whole video on the projector today during class 😂😂
That's sick😡
That's SICK
Best English teacher ever. ❤❤❤
@@MichelleLewis-kd1wq only for dummy swifties
@@MichelleLewis-kd1wqDid your English teacher actually teach English ? Privatized public education. Maybe don't know how teach.

Ray is the best there is when it comes to comical songs! He's a genius! Love you Ray!
Dang, I am so tired of seeing Taylor Swift on the news, I'm glad Ray sang this song.
I love his sense of humor! Been a fan of his since the 70s.
Ray Stevens is still makeing me laugh . I had to put my hand over my mouth from keeping disrupting people. Thank you Ray for all videos and still makeing people laugh !!
Hysterical!!! Love Taylor Swift and Ray Stevens!!!!!
No other Country Comedian like Ray Steven's. Turns a bad situation to hilarious in his music.
Got Love this guy.
Love this! Glad to see he's still singing and making people laugh!
My favorite is Along Came Jones with Danny Thomas and Andy Williams. I have watched that a dozen times laughing my head off every time.
Ray turns 80 years old next month and is still going strong with his regular performances at his "CabaRay" showroom in Nashville ... pretty awesome
Mr. Stevens, it's a pleasure to see you're still doin' what you do. Guitarzan rocks :)
Hey Diane, how are you doing today, I would love to be a good friend of yours if you don't mind
Ray, Thank you for giving us a reason to laugh again. The 60’s crowd loves you man!
Love you, Ray. Still giving those of us with a sense of humour a little bit more of yours! Thx !!!
Ray Stevens has done it again!! Hysterical! I love you, Ray Stevens!!
Awsome to see Ray putting out new material again, been awhile.
This is freakin' funny! For some reason, I thought Ray Stevens was dead. :( Glad to see that not only is he still alive & kickin'... he's pretty hip!
No he's not dead as you can see but I did hear he took some time off to sit up with the dead until the dead started sitting up to! 😜
+Holly Gaskin He has a theater in Branson Missouri doing shows every night.
+Holly Gaskin Me too. Loved his nutty songs.
I thought he sold that theater
He has a talk show on RFDTV

Wow! After all these years, I can't believe he's still making more songs. That's amazing! The Comedy Video Classics tape is like, my childhood. My grandma used to have it at her house, and just about every time we'd go over there I'd watch it! I'm rewatching them right now and laughing my ass off.

Taylor Swift has a since of humor SHE'S NUTS IF SHE DON'T LIKE/LOVE THIS SONG 🎶😯🎶
I would like to see her do a reaction video to this song!
Believe me, this man has been in the business for so long, he took all the right legal steps to produce this song, including have her approve of it. She probably saw it as great publicity.
ray still looks good and glad he is still doing this
Ho Ho Ho!!! What a funny and talented man.
Thank you for posting
He is such a great entertainer, he has me laughing so hard with his songs/videos. I love seeing his videos and listening to his songs/story telling.. Great person,, you are, Ray Stevens!
Hi
Wow; so cool that he's still recording. . .
Ray is more popular than the Pope, now. Sorry
Ray is awesome. He could pass for one of those TV evangelist guys. He and Cletus should be a duo. Good to see Ray still kicking it.
Very old country vibe to it and some laughter to go with it. Love it.
So cool! I bet she loves this tribute to her. 💕
Way too funny 🤣🤣🤣 love you Mr. Stevens 💞💗💞

The guard at the desk is played by the same guy that played "Harv Newman" in "Mississippi Squirrel revival"
That's Cyrus "Buddy" Kalb. He's been a part of Ray's inner circle for many years. If you look at the songwriter credits on a lot of Ray's recordings you'll see Buddy's name written as C.W. Kalb, Jr. The names of the songwriters appear underneath the song titles. Buddy and his wife, Carlene, wrote "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival" for Ray. Buddy's appeared on just about every music video that Ray's put together.
He uses the same three girls in most of his vids
Gotta love Ray:)))))
+Kathy Glyvin bitch
Ray, I love this and all your new comedy. Please do more. Your so good at song writing. God bless you brother!
Glad to see him still going strong!!
I like Ray Stevens he is funny that'll never change. Thank you for making me laugh
Hello Katherine, how are you doing today?
