OK.... My mom (RIP) was extremely beautiful & young when I had to go to a PTA meeting with my mom.... It was 1969, I was 7 & my mom wore her Go-Go boots with matching suede leather mini skit outfit & hat (she made the vest, skirt & cap).. She sang Harper Valley PTA all the way to my elementary. I guess by the time the PTA sent a note home about me, she'd had enough. We were from Texas & we had moved to Michigan just 2 years earlier. Due to my oldest brother having a proper Texas Southern Drawl.... The PTA told my mother he had a speech impediment, most likely a deafness, & should hold him back in school. I was horribly shy with a super high IQ, so I was a wall flower & got in trouble for "refusing to participate". So, to the PTA meeting we went. The school was only 3 blocks away & she sang that song at the top of her lungs all the way.... Mom took no shit. I still smile at this memory
What a great memory!
Good for your mom!!! What a bunch a crap they were pulling!!! I have this movie on DVD! Always loved the song & the movie! It is crappy the way they treat single moms...even to this day!!! Here in Michigan we seem to have a lot of holier than thou Moms in the PTA's!!! Their husbands are out cheating on them and they cant figure out why! lol. I could tell them but dont think they'd like the truth! lol
Your mom SLAAAAAYYYYEEEDDDD!!! I am sure was as equally beautiful as she was surely stylish!
Kudos to your mom
I was sent home from school the day before my high school graduation because my skirt was too short This was in 1976 when we wore short skirts, but I went to a tiny country school. My mother was livid and called the principal up and gave him a piece of her mind. I went back to class in the worst looking jeans and shirt I could find, lol
This was actually made into a movie and TV series starring Barbara Eden of “I Dream Of Jeannie”fame.
Yes loved that show
I think Tom T Hall wrote this song Jeannie told me.
was a fun movie
You can watch it the full movie on youtube. It's pretty neat that they built a film around a song. Barbara Eden is fabulous in the TV movie. such a fun watch. Don't think the series made it very far.
@@zoeystar4668 sadly no
This song by Jeannie C.Riley and "Ode To Billy Joe" by Bobby Gentry were the class of female country singers at the time,and swung that genre in a different direction.
Yeah, you can throw Nancy Sinatra in there, too. If you'll notice, their biggest hit songs all had funky little R&B-influenced grooves that helped them cross over to US#1, as well. They used Country Music as a point of reference, but weren't purists about their arrangements, peppering them with strings, horns, or funk licks. They would all go on to have songs that were far more Country and not very Country at all, but the trifecta of "Harper Valley", "Billie Joe" and "Boots" is almost its own microgenre.
They all had the hair too. Lol
@@MRoyClark interesting point,but I would've opted more for "Sugar Town" than "Boots" but fair point
@@robhaunui3343 "Sugar Town" is a great song, but it doesn't illustrate the point I was making about #1 hits and how they crossed-over. "Sugar Town" (US#5) is far closer to pure Country & Western than "Boots", which incorporated funky drums and brass for crossover appeal. Not all of her stuff was Country at all, with "These Boots Are Made for Walking" barely qualifying, except for the imagery of its lyrics, its outsize guitar twang, and Rockabilly-styled upright bass.
To mainstream Rock, Pop, and R&B audiences in 1966, "Boots" played as Country, but despite several Country Pop hits, she didn't place on the Country charts until the 1980s. Meanwhile Bobbie Gentry and Jeannie C. Riley failed to follow-up their crossover hits with much in the way of Pop success. Gentry had a couple of hit duets with Glenn Campbell and Riley had a handful of Top10s on the Country charts over the next few years. But those three songs represented a peak for Country Pop crossovers with a strong feminine perspective, pairing the lyricism of Loretta Lynne and the storytelling of Flannery O'Connor with the crossover power of Motown or Stax Records - something Country Music had struggled with throughout the 1960s.
@@MRoyClark ❤
This song was written by the great Tom T. Hall, country legend who passed away a year ago.. Great story-teller, if you check out some of his other songs. It was a huge crossover country-pop hit in 1968.
For a little context of the times back then...... There was a reference to a secretary who had to leave town is a reference to the guy getting his secretary pregnant. Single motherhood/unwed mothers were basically shamed and often left town to avert the scandal. There were terms and phrases about "a girl in trouble" or, "they HAD to get married" or "make an honest woman out of her" that were all related to pregnancies out of wedlock. So, if the guy didn't marry the woman (making her an honest woman), she often left town in disgrace. Different times. 😲😟
Yeah but in this case the secretary left town to not only hide the fact she was pregnant by her boss but HE was a married man and on the school board...
Oh yes! There were a few girls in our neighborhood that “ went away” for a year. Different times indeed
I had my son in 1974 and I wasn't going to be shamed and proudly had my beautiful baby boy. My Dad was a pastor and him and my Mom stood by me in my decision. Our church never made me feel ashamed . My son is now a grandfather to a very beautiful baby boy and I'm so proud of the man I raised him to be .
@@elizaolsen9532 Our daughter had our first grandbaby at 17. The 16 and pregnant jokes she endured had me almost thrown in jail a few times. He is now 8 years old with an IQ off the charts. Reading at an 8 grade level. My daughter is gorgeous and has been married for 5 years now to a wonderful man. All those gossipers back then try to talk to our Stagger Lee and I always respond with the death glare that has them turning around. Not once did we as parents get upset with her. We were doing the same damn thing at her age. She just happened to get pregnant her very first time. After that she saved herself for marriage. God needed Stagger Lee born at that time and he chose my daughter to be blessed with him. We are all here for a reason. I’m thankful you had great parents as well. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have this on vinyl the flip side is "The Girl Most Likely" about people who think a poor girl is the most likely to get pregnant out side of marriage, but its actually the daughter of the richest man in town
Just a small clarification. She says "Well there's Bobby Taylor sittin there and 7 times he's asked me for a date. And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice when he's away" . That part is referring to Mrs. Taylor drinking a lot when her husband is out of town, because he's cheating on her, like he tried to do with Mrs. Johnson. I was 14 when this song came out, and I can't speak for other places, but this was a scandalous song in the rural country area I grew up in. It was a completely different time, a completely different life style.
Actually it’s a reference to her cheating on her husband with the ice man. Before modern refrigeration it was common to have big blocks of ice delivered weekly. You would place the block in the ice compartment and it would keep the rest of the fridge cool. The blocks were pretty large, a single block would usually last 5-7 days. However it seems she used a lot of ice, so much so she needed the ice man to deliver a new block every day when her husband was gone.
@@kylemma33 Refrigeration is surprisingly recent, and it took a long time before everyone could afford it. When my Dad first came to North America after WWII, his first job was delivering ice to houses for people's ice boxes. When he asked for the route, they told him, "Don't worry about it. The horse knows it."
Iceman... Getting busy
@@kylemma33 Were there still icemen delivering ice in the mid to late sixties? I know we had a refrigerator with a freezer when I was a kid and we weren't wealthy enough to have the most new-fangled stuff I've always thought it meant she was buying a lot of bags of ice cubes because she was entertaining a lot of guests when he was away.
I'm not trying to be rude, but I think you're wrong about the ice box theory I grew up in this era and we definitely had freezers
Back in the day, ice would often be delivered to people’s homes. The “increase” in her ice consumption hints that, Mrs. Taylor had much more frequent visits from the delivery man.
nahh.. gotta disagree. the song was not based in the 20s-40s. it was clearly referencing the sexual revolution and the pro choice movement & the rise of feminism in the late 60s/70s. no woman back in the days of 'ice boxes' would have EVER worn a miniskirt or acted so brash & strong. that was a very different time. women were subservient to their men, children & home. Mrs Taylor is getting the extra ice cuz she goes on drinking binges when hubbys away.
@@FranklySpeaking. I always felt it meant drinking also.
I always thought it meant she was making a lot of drinks.
Or she's SERVING a lot of drinks while her husband's away.
@@erichunting8175 ooohhh. Scandalous
Great reaction Asia and BJ. Nope didn't have time for no PTA 😂. This song is a comical way at raising awareness to people who judge through their own hypocritical eyes, and those who have the courage to stand up to them. 💪
Props to the guy playing the guitar in the beginning of the video.....
I love the fact that the narrator is the daughter who is proud of her mother.
She's a singer, not a narrator.
@charlesabbott5563 She is a singer narrating a story, making her a narrator too. But good for you, taking time to incorrectly correct a 2-year-old comment.😂😂
I love her delivery on this song! Written by Tom T. Hall.
Jeannie C. Riley is best known for her 1968 country & pop hit "Harper Valley PTA". But she had some other songs such as "The Girl Most Likely", "There Never Was A Time," "The Rib," "The Back Side of Dallas," "Country Girl," "Oh Singer," & "Good Enough To Be Your Wife". Later she became a born-again Christian and began recording gospel music during the late 1970's.
The artist that wrote this song Tom T Hall
Wrote this song about his mother when he was a child in Kentucky....😊
Interesting, I never knew this song was written by Tom T. Hall but it makes sense as he used to write songs like Harper Valley PTA that tell stories.
One point you missed that makes this song all the more beautiful... the PTA was complaining about the _mother's_ skirt being too high, not the daughter's. So... they sent a frickin' note home with a middle schooler complaining about what a crappy parent the mom was. Her response was awesome. There's a movie (as there is with a few of Jeannie C Riley's songs) from 1978 starring the wonderful Barbara Eden (Jeannie from "I Dream of Jeannie") if you're interested. And a TV series from the early 80's, in which Barbara Eden reprised her role. I don't remember ever seeing the TV series, but the movie was fun.
Jeannie C. Riley....battling Karens and Chads even way back when before it became a social mainstay! wooo hooo....you tell em Jeannie
@@Dooklawz just goes to show that all throughout history nothing has changed, folks are still judgmental as hell
The tv show wasn't too bad. I don't think it was on for very long though.
The movie was funny
Beautiful lady and very talented singer. I absolutely love this song.
six year old me idolized Loretta Lynn, Tanya tucker and Jeanie C. Riley. These are my songs, babies
I just discovered the other day that there is A Return to Harper Valley PTA. It's like part two. I was floored. I love this song but part two was a shock. I enjoyed it. Great reaction you two.
It sucked please don't waste your time.
After Jeannie got saved, she come out with the " Return To Harper Valley " You need to listen to it, it's more up to date with what goes on with our children!
I had a chance to listen to part 2
I was a PTA Mom for a couple years and this is basically true 😆🤣
I was a teacher and the crap I heard in some of these meetings was horrible. that's why I quit going. Unprofessional behavior, then you wonder what is being said about you when you are not there. Disgusting.
Truth!!
I left after the first meeting. Lol.
@@jackiegoodspeed1849 I probably should have I was there for the right reasons but learned fast its not always buisness they wanted to talk lol 😆
@@thomastimlin1724 Real hypocritical "Gossip City".👿👺👹🗡️
This is still one of the best songs to me!!! I like the comments by Asia and BJ, most have not tried to hear old time country music because they are one genre shows…..this is a beautiful classy show, I hope to see more from it, Asia and BJ not only are classy but look classy together in this show…..keep on keeping it real you two, peace out you just got a real fan today!!!
This was fun y’all. It sounds like something my Mom would do. She was a little lady but she didn’t let nobody push her...or us kids around. RIP Mom. I miss you.
Beautiful Jeannie C. Riley and Bobby Gentry with those great voices!
The reference to "Peyton Place" is connected to the book/movie/TV show about a small town that has more than its share of scandals among the people living there.
PEYTON place was a Weekly soap OPERA !Not a TV show!
@@Jerry-up8bk So was Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty, etc. and I don't ever recall anyone ever saying those weren't TV shows.
Great reaction!!! Great song. Some of the lines in Jeannie C. Riley's only major Pop-crossover "Harper Valley PTA" (1968/US#1, UK#12) haven't aged very well, though. The point of the song still translates beautifully, but some of the phrases and pop culture references are lost on younger folks. Hell, I'm middle-aged, but this song came out almost a decade before I was born. I didn't really know it till the '00s, myself. I heard it a few times as a kid, but I never paid attention to the lyrics.
* "Mrs. Taylor seems to use a lot of ice, whenever he's away"
...means that Mrs. Taylor is as adulterous as her husband, Bobby. "Uses a lot of ice" was a euphemism for cheating on one's husband while he's working. It was a dated phrase already at the time, since refrigeration and home freezers had become common by 1968, but it's a reference to the fact that delivery men were often left alone "unsupervised" with housewives (fueling other Pop culture phrases as "the milkman's son" and "the postman always rings twice" which was also the name of a popular film).
* "Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?"
...*STRONGLY* implies that he got her pregnant and she was forced to move in shame rather than to have the baby out of wedlock or seek a legal abortion. (Abortion wouldn't be a legal option until 1972 and this was in 1968). In "polite society" having a child out of wedlock was still seen as some sort of crime back then, even though it was still quite common. Wealthy and middle-class women and girls were often shipped away or married off to a friend of the family, quickly. Poor women and girls were often disowned and left to fend for themselves. It was just sexist, classist nonsense, but it's how things were.
* "This is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites"
...references the then-popular soap opera, Peyton Place (1964-69). This was essentially calling out her local PTA for being gossipy, backstabbing, and melodramatic.
* "The day my momma socked it to the Harper Valley PTA"
...uses a variation on the then-trendy AAVE phrase "sock it to me" which translates to "tell it to me straight". It was a phrase popular in the late 60s, mostly made mainstream from its use on the TV comedy show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, but with a longer legacy thanks to its use in popular music - most notably with Aretha Franklin "Respect", Friends of Distinction "Grazin' in the Grass", The Isley Brothers "It's Your Thing", and Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels "Devil with a Blue Dress On". Missy Elliot had a hit with "Sock It to Me" in 1997, but the phrase's original meaning was long-obscured by the 1990s.
Anyway, this is a fabulous track and a super-fun reaction, but for anyone under retirement age, a lot of the best lines aren't easily understood. I hope this helps y'all a little if you were feeling kinda lost. :)
All true. In fact, there was a time here in Britain when having a baby out of wedlock was grounds to institutionalise the mother. Many spent the rest of their lives in an asylum.
Now that is Gangster! Love this song. You two are awesome.
Love this!!
*One of the most memorable movies of my childhood.. Harper Valley PTA stands out in the top 10. have watched that movie tons of times.. legends Barbara Eden & Nanette Fabray. still cracks me up all these years later. and the song? brilliant... hell it spawned a hit movie & a TV show. 70s good times*
And that was a live performance. True talent
Always loved this one. It was huge when it first came out.
The PTA is just another type of HOA. A place where the participants risk having the power go to their heads, and attempt to tell others how to live.
This song was also made into a made for tv movie.
They made a movie about it. Harper Valley PTA with Barbara Eden
When Jeannie C. Riley became a Christian, she released a sequel called Return to Harper Valley. At that point she was a devout Christian so the song came from her Christian perspective. I really enjoyed it and this time, her daughters own child is in Harper Valley High School. It catches up with all the people from the Harper Valley PTA
Great reaction. You two are a great pair.
Yeah, this was so well received to the Public they made it into a movie. 😅
Tom T. Hall wrote the song, and Yes, it was about a real life experience. It was Jeannie C. Riley's breakout hit in 1968. It was a HUGE blockbuster hit for her.
Looked like a 60s Beehive hair style to me.
The beehive is a hairstyle in which long hair is piled up in a conical shape on the top of the head and slightly backwards pointing, giving some resemblance to the shape of a traditional beehive. It is also known as the B-52 due to a resemblance to the distinctive nose of the Boeing B-52 Strategic Bomber. Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 - 23 July 2011) a British singer and songwriter, had one.
Great song, my favorite from my childhood. "The day my momma socked it to The Harper Valley PTA" Love it
"Sock it to me" was the jargon fad slang people were using then and everyone wore Sock it to me t-shirts. "The day my mama socked it to the HarperValleyPTA."
@@aarondigby5054 Didn't the expression originate from "Laugh-In' show on TV at the time?
"Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of "ICE" (not eyes) whenever he's away." Meaning she's entertaining other men.
Asia & BJ, this is an old song that I grew up on. Oh Lord! Watching Asia’s face and then BJ looking at Asia like she’s crazy was priceless! I love watching people react to this video! Love love love it!
Barbara Eden was the truth when flick came out!! “Harper Valley P.T.A.” was a movies from way back when I was little. Excellent choice, Asia and BJ!!
Wow she’s 🔥 and who’d of thunk this songs lyrics would be relevant today. BJ DANG, you know bout the PTA 💯 facts, lol. Yeah, my Mom was in the PTA 🤣 but she raised us to believe, if you can wear a mini skirt, hell yeah.. do it!
BTW, "Peyton Place" was a book that came out in the early 60's or late 50's that had a lot of things like what's in the song. So that line about Harper Valley being a little "Peyton Place" would have hit extra hard when the song came out. BTW, the song was written by Tom T. Hall, who had a good career himself as a singer.
Yes, they were talking/complaining about the mother, not the daughter. BTW, the secretary for the Harper Valley PTA's name is 'Karen.' 🙂
That’s how it should be, some people talking ‘bout people and she goes right up to ‘‘em and says what she had the class not to say. ‘Til they opened their big mouths.
I love you guys !!!!!!!! But where did Asia get that the Nurse sent home a note ??? LOL u go Girl
I was part of the PTA in the 90's. The gossip is real! Nosiest bunch I have EVER seen! I told them I wouldn't be a part of that. And when they took things seriously give me a call.
Yeah, the high hair, in the South, was said to be "jacked up to Jesus"---"the higher the hair, the closer to God"!!! LOL
Loved y'all's reaction!! 🤗
In order to enjoy gossip, you need a sense of rumour. The month they gossip the least is February as it has only 28 days. Hello, 🗣Welcome to Hypocrites Anonymous and “what is your name”? He 🤥is a bit nosy.
I loved these story telling country gossip songs 🎵 ❤ so 70s
My wife was part of the PTA , just to help out with fund raising, she quit when the person in change was stealing the funds....ouch.
Love it! Oh yes, the PTA of yesteryears! You two did great reviewing this!
I fail to see anything wrong with the original lyrics. If you listen to the end of the interview/Return to Harper Valley PTA, you will see she became a different person for different reasons and she redid the song not to make it more modern...but if you truly listen to the lyrics...she was negative and hateful and made them seem negative and hateful.
When I saw the title I knew you’d be in for a shock lol.
😂😂😂😂
You all need to watch the Movie Harper Valley PTA
It said her mothers skirt was to high
Back in the day living in them small towns... Even now people all in your business in a small town... You have to see the movie it's a classic...
Jeanie C is WIRKING those white go go boots!!!!
I'm Joining the PTA so I can get some excitement in my old life. C'mon Asia if I KNEW it would be this greasy and fun I would've joined years ago. 😜
I was in 7th grade when this came out.....Dad had the HiFi on in the morning when we were getting ready for school and work. ... well he thought this song was funny and danced around in his boxer shorts. He'd never done that before or again. Years of therapy was required! LOL
No. That song came out when I was a kid and after hearing that song I don't know anyone who wanted to be a member of the PTA
I was a kid in elementary when this song came out. Mini skirts were the bomb.
It's Not about the daughter! It's about the Mama.
Absolutely about the momma who told off all of those PTA hypocrites.😜😈🔥👿👹👺🗡️
asia you have a million dollar smile beautiful i love your reactions
They made a movie off that I think. Also there's a part 2 to that song that she did later
She also did a follow-up to this. It is good too!
1968, perhaps the greatest year in pop music, offsetting the chaos of that year. MLK, RFK, the height of the Vietnam war. Harper Valley PTA went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 9/21/68. It sold six million copies that year. Two weeks later Hey Jude took the top spot.
Great stuff as always guys! HEY BJ!!!! React to break in by
Halestorm featuring Amy Lee from Evanescence. Asia will lose her mind and need that Kleenex. From one vocalist to another ASIA, you GOTTA hear that one. It's AMAZING!!!!!
The reference to needing ice is old times. It means she was having men bring ice to her house.
Still love this song. Loved singing this song back in the day in Karaoke.
I remember when this hit the charts. It was big!!
My mom had this record back then and played it so much that I had the lyrics memorized, long before I was old enough to understand half of them. LOL 🙂
Yeah, this is one of those sing along with songs from back then. May not have understood the lyrics but when it came on the radio it was sing along time.
😂
IT WASN'T HARPER VALLEY BUT MY MOM BLEW UP A P.T.A. MEETING ONE AFTERNOON AFTER THEY SENT A NOTE HOME TO HER ABOUT HOW I WAS MISBEHAVING. LIT IT UP! IT WAS HYSTERICAL TO ME.
Old school country music with blunt stories lol
You need to watch the the movie harper valley pta
They are talking about the girls mom
Momma is not playin with the PTA hypocrites...lol 🤣. Loved this reaction. ❤️
An oldie but goodie. I love this song. So happy y'all did a reaction to it. ❤️
She's talking about the mom
Oh, Asia, you got me laughing!
No the note is talking about the mom.
The mother’s skirt is too high, yeah, the notes to her mom.
It was the mother's youthful attire, free spiritedness, etc that the small town PTA took issue with. It's the age old story of folks who live in glass houses throwing stones.
In other words "Judge not lest ye be judged".
Sanctimonious and hypocritical individuals MUST be checked!
They have a second part to this song The Return to Harper Valley.... you should react to that too
Y'all are a very cute couple ❤️☺️ Good reaction!!!
It's the mom not the daughter
Jeannie C. Riley... if you couldn't tell... is a good West Texas Girl... from the Big Country town of Anson.....
If the pta wanted to talk to my Mom, I would have told her from a safe place. LOL! My Mom did not ever tolerate any bull shit from us!! My Dad worked 60 hours a week as an Iron worker, so my Mom took care of everything in addition to running a cleaning service where us kids worked during the weekend. To say my parents were strict, is a soft explanation. They were fair wonderful parents who kept my brothers and I out of jail, and out of the ground. I always love your reactions, because you mean it. Thanks!
Talking about the mom
I am that mama. Been there with the news media. I love this song.
Love this song from growing up! One of my faves
A song about elitism, judgement, Glass Houses and throwing stones directed at a single mother
The wife of Bobby Taylor "seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away" (ie. a drunk) etc
Great reaction, lol
Oh yeah, by the way, the song is based on a true story
Jeannie was really angry with society at this time and she felt it came through in this song! She said she never felt as strongly about another song! The note was from the PTA! It was about her Mother! lol. I love the movie with Barbara Eden! Seeing her get even with those hypocrites...is hilarious!!! I have it on DVD! I used to live in an area that I called "Stepford Wife Ville"!!! All these..."ladies". had so many skeletons in their closet it was ridiculous! But ...if you weren't part of their "club". you must be a terrible Mother!!! I moved about 15 years ago & have never looked back!!! lol
A favor artist of my gen...u need to listen to more of her tunes...RETURN TO HARPER VALLEY PTA...
my grandma ♥ this song!
NOT the child they are complaining about...the note is ALL ABOUT THE MOTHER.
ICE for her liquor while her husband's away.Not icy looks.🙂
Asia beautiful smile....
B.j. great vibe.....liking your videos
..."Class of 76"...Return to Harper Valley is #2....the note is not about the Daughter it's about the momma
Written by The Storyteller, Tom T. Hall. Check out some songs from Tom T. Hall. WATERMELON WINE, A WEEK IN A COUNTRY JAIL.
"I know I've heard her name...I'm just not familiar with the song"...
No...no you haven't "heard her name"...lol!
Nobody has heard her name for 50 years!
This came out at a time when the times were a changing … short skirts, long hair, etc.
Their is a part 2 to this story
I love you guys ! Had this record when I was in 9th grade. BUT APPRECIATE IT MUCH MORE NOW ! THANKS FOR SHARING THE FUN . . .
