Agree . He is My go,to during this Pandemic especially. We all need,laughter in our Lives. Keep Safe,listen to all his Christmas songs. 🤣🤶🎅 Cheers From Canada !
Love the part about "sometimes things that are politically incorrect can still be right." Amen to that! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all who are celebrating something at this time of year. And may 2021 be a better, safer, healthier year for the entire world. Blessings from Pennsylvania, USA.
Ray, hope you will create and write a ballad on the voting shenanigans uncovered in the 2020 Presidential Election. It seems pretty ripe for your sense of Comedy.
This song is absolutely precious. It has a reminiscent innocence, that I remember from my youth. ♡ Even the expression on Ray's face, when he speaks on hearing the reindeer on his roof, seems genuinely innocent, and optimistic. ♡♡♡ I *Love* it!
It sad that this song had to be written in the first place, when will we wake up from the PC nightmare? thank you ray for bring attention to this problem.
Every Thanksgiving back in the day, our radio station always had a Solute To A Turkey show and played all Ray Stevens music. I use to tape all of them. God bless Ray!!
Ray does it again. This man as one of the best imaginative minds for writing and performing songs . And he always comes through with a great song. Bringing the meaning to. Everything is beautiful in its own way.
I have GOT to get me this CD! In fact, there are TONS of RS CDs I need. Ray, you are definitely a triple threat: funny songs, gospel songs, country songs. That voice...there's just SOMETHING about that voice. (BTW...my friend's husband bears a striking resemblance -- well, to ME he does. However, you definitely have a few years on him, but the two of you look nearly the same age! However, he can't sing or play the piano. RAY, you win...hands down!!!)
haaaaaaaaaaaaa love it . things are no where like they used to be we had fun and put Jesus first in all we did. I still like the old fashion Christmas.
I have been watching and listening to you RAY.... since i was 5...i am 30, KEEP IT UP! I love you! Keep going!..... YOU are the best thing in Nashville..... and when the time comes, when the good Lord calls you home, I will hang a black wreath on my door for at least a year.... Just like I did for Mr Rodgers.... You and Him raised me, God bless your heat! I truly thank you for everything!
@TristTram20: The same thing happened when "The Blue Cyclone" was issued to radio stations in 1985. That particular recording, factoring in both parts, is more than 10 minutes in length! A radio edit was issued which blended together both parts of the song but it removed a lot of the story as a result. The radio edit is typically what appears on the compilation CD's that were released on Ray in the mid and late '80s by MCA. The full version from his 1985 album was made into a music video in 2000
Santa's heavy because he eats all of the Christmas cookies and drinks all of the milk the children leave out for him. I love Santa. Hope he comes to my house again this year. Love Ray Stevens too. God bless everyone.
love ray stevens music. My grandpa loved the big band stuff and ray stevens, He called him the best actor he ever knew. miss chicken dearly and still listen to ray stevens music.
@TristTram20: When "The Haircut Song" was issued as a single in 1985 the middle verse was edited out because of time constraints. Country radio stations at one point in time didn't want to even think about playing a song well over 3 minutes...and "The Haircut Song" at full length was well over 6 minutes. It was like 2 and a half minutes per verse, I think? The radio edit is what became more familiar and the middle verse was largely ignored. The album version, of course, has all 3 verses.
I had a cashier appoligize to me for saying Merry Christmas to me last year. She meant Happy holidays. for one short second i felt Christmas inside. You know i almost cried last year thinking about what you wrote about. We all need to bring back Santa and Christmas in peoples heart. Santa is the last true roll model kids have.
I love you, Ray! I'm one of your many cousins. who's a cousin of your Mama's brother in law! I live near Tallapoosa and you helped us out with a Cystic Fibrosis Telethon at a radio station I once worked at in Carrollton, GA. You kept trying to say the name of the disease, but it kept coming out Cystik Fibrokik. But you finally got it right and you helped us immeasurably. I wrote a song about you called "I'm Ray Stevens' Cousin", but what the hell? It's just gonna stay with me. :) Love ya, Bro!
Bobbie LaVanway My sister when she was young in high school got to be a police explorer which is just extra helpers for concerts and parades. And she got to see Ray in the 70’s helping out at his concert.
@TherealRNO So very true. I rescued a kitten that the local humane society thought should be "humanely euthanized". Granted, it was thrown out of a car window, and did have a VERY large and deep laceration on a hind leg, it had bad fleas, and round worms, and could barely stand when I picked it up off the side of the road. I opted to keep the kitten instead. I got it antibiotics and bandages, a wormer, flea meds, food, water, and a warm bed. It's now a happy, healthy, loving, cat.
Thx for the music Ray. It is nice to have a laugh and get away from everyday problems for a few mins. You have brought fun to millions of people over the yrs. We need more people like you in this world. Good Day !!!
You Mr. Stevens are such a BLESSING and a GOD GIVEN TREASURE TO ALL OF US WHO LOVE YOU 🤗❤️ PLEASE CONTINUE TO SPREAD JOY, HAPPINESS AND LAUGHTER FOREVER ❤️🙏 WE HAVE ALWAYS LOVED AND LAUGHED WITH YOU AND THIS WORLD NEEDS YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE 🤗❤️🙏🎶🎶🎶 PRICELESS TREASURED BLESSING 🎶🎶❤️🤗🙏 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏 AMEN 🙏
Ray Stevens is one great talent ... And pray that his astute mentality of the USA and appreciate the many issues that he has addressed regarding our country through his talent !!!
He has his own show in Nashville ,Tennessee it's called Cabaray. It is on NPT channel,if you have that channel. I watch him mostly on Saturday. Just saying.
You always put me in a Christmas spirit and now I get to go out shopping thank you so much for putting me in a Christmas spirit merry Christmas and a happy new year to you
@KDay5161: he changed the reference. it was pizza in the 1997 recording but he released the song a second time in late 2009 with the slightly altered line. Other than that little difference it's the same 1997 recording.
I miss the "real" Christmas. Where everyone said "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" & when your heart actually felt Christmas coming. When everyone acted like they knew each other, where everyones home smelled like cookies and chocolate. Where you get goosebumps when someone gives you a gift. Christmas sucks now! No even even realizes the TRUE meaning of Christmas anymore... when Jesus was born.
I'm wondering: if it had turned the other way and Santa went to prison... would someone breaking him out end up on the nice or naughty list? Regardless... Ray Steven's on Santa's nice list for sure. Mine, too. Thanks a lot!

I grew up listening to Ray Stevens, my whole life & I still listen to him. A true legend!
What a fine example of political satire! Well done, Mr. Stevens.
Ray, hope you will create and write a ballad on the voting shenanigans uncovered in the 2020 Presidential Election. It seems pretty ripe for your sense of Comedy.
Lucky for Ray, Santa was acquited!!!
This song is absolutely precious. It has a reminiscent innocence, that I remember from my youth. ♡ Even the expression on Ray's face, when he speaks on hearing the reindeer on his roof, seems genuinely innocent, and optimistic. ♡♡♡ I *Love* it!
Ray Stevens is the only singer who can come up with something controversial and people find it entertaining.
Not really the only one... But the only one with conservative views.
yeah,certain people who don't know how to lighten up.
YEE hawwwwwwwww!!!!!!
rj1982ii yup
The Night Santa Went Crazy - Weird Al.

This is a riot! Thank you for the laughs, Ray! God bless you!
I miss his songs so much.
So do I.
No cursing, nothing gross or vulgar.
Just good fun songs.
I miss the "real" Christmas. Where everyone said "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" & when your heart actually felt Christmas coming. When everyone acted like they knew each other, where everyones home smelled like cookies and chocolate. Where you get goosebumps when someone gives you a gift. Christmas sucks now! No even even realizes the TRUE meaning of Christmas anymore... when Jesus was born.
Another hilarious song and absolutely true as to what would happen!!!
Santa goes to a VD clinic after Christmas because he knows all the naughty girls 😂
Love you, Ray Stevens!!
Love this
I'm wondering: if it had turned the other way and Santa went to prison... would someone breaking him out end up on the nice or naughty list?
Regardless... Ray Steven's on Santa's nice list for sure. Mine, too. Thanks a lot!
EXCELLENT!! Ray... You Rock Dude!! :-) God Bless You and Yours!
