My dad’s favourite!
Great one
My Girl Bill by Jim Stafford, that's the one you need to hear next!
I came here to say the same thing.
Yes ❤
Yes!!!
Great song
I wholeheartedly agree....Please sample "My Girl Bill"
Jim and Dolly Parton did this as a skit on his or her show. It was adorable and they could barely keep from laughing.
~Red
You posted first. I was just going to put a comment on that skit. Dolly with that big taffy lollipop. Just so Cute.
That was great& them trying not to laugh made the skit.
I have to google that skit right now! Lol
That skit is here on TH-cam. I watch it every once in a while.

There's Jerry Reed's When You're Hot, You're Hot. Or Ray Steven's The Streak.
Jerry Reed singing "She Got the Gold Mine (I Got the Shaft)".
Jerry Reed doing Amos Moses.
Ray Steven’s The Streak😂😂😂❤❤you’ll love it
And Ray’s Guitarzan.
Think they did that one@@brianmoss4832
Jim Stafford, believe it or not, was a world class guitarist along with the likes of Roy Clark. Two of probably the top 5 ever.
He is also self taught on not only the guitar but also the fiddle, piano, banjo, organ and harmonica.
@@stevedavis5704Cool!
I believe it. I saw him in Branson Missouri.
Saw him in Vegas.
As well as Glen Campbell. Three of the top 5, IMHO.
Jim Stafford has a song called the" Ballad of cow patty"
Swamp Witch Hattie
It's just "Cow Patti"
My Girl Bill
Don't forget " Wildwood weed"
On a moped called flame
still makes me smile and laugh after 50+ years- what great music should be
Hi Rob Squad! I haven’t even watched this yet but wanted to jump in. I worked with Mr. Stafford in the early 1980’s on a TV Show he co-hosted called Those Amazing Animals. My fondest memory is I was in charge of the runners on that show on shoot day. But I also was able to get an assignment to pick up Mr. Stafford at LAX on Sunday night and take him home. So I took the company Caddie and went to the airport. Greeted him and took him to the car. It was Sunday evening in Los Angeles in the 80’s. That meant Dr. Demento was on the radio. So I tuned it to the station and we had a nice drive to his home. Chatting and laughing at the songs. He was great to me and I have fond memories and I do have his album from the 70’s before I got to work with him. I already know you loved it, how could you not?
Check out; My Girl Bill, for more greatness.
Joe
Edit:
I watched the video Amber & Rob. As expected you loved it. Jim was magical and a cool guy and still around. ❤️ If you saw my story, first hand experience.
I left a suggestion above for a funny. But you also,said you’d like to smile. I got another for that category. I know you love Carpenters, like me. I’m an OG fan from 1970 with my Close To You album. A song from that album which I believe you’ve reacted to is; We’ve Only Just Begun.
What I’m recommending is for the first time in 54 years a proper cover of that song was created. Oh, no one can properly cover a Carpenters song, you say? I beg to differ and I’m OG. So I’m older and can be taken seriously. Get ready to smile, or stare or however you will react, just feel the wonder.
James Wilkas created this cover with musicians from around the world and it features Tori Holub on lead and backing vocals.

We’ve Only Just Begun (Cover)

.
He's a really good tennis player.
@@merlisalawrencecorbett1331 I never knew that. Guitar player, hell yeah.
Appreciate the story! Loved this song when it was out. I must have been around 11 yrs old.
@@jbs256 Yes. I've played with him and against him, doubles.
I remember Those Amazing Animals, but not who was involved with it. Thanks for sharing! Nice story and memory.
Roger Miller is a good for funny, happy songs. "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd", "Dang me", "King of the Road", "Do-wacka-do", "chug-a-lug".
I haven't heard this song in damn near 40 years, and i can still sing it word for word.
Did you ever hear the Showdown song Welcome to The Rodeo? It will also stick in your head for decades after one listen. Well, its 40 below and I don't give a f*ck, got a heater in my truck and I'm off to the rodeo...
"Spiders & Snakes" is a 1974 hit song recorded by Jim Stafford and written by Stafford and David Bellamy of The Bellamy Brothers. It was the second of four U.S. Top 40 singles released from his eponymous debut album and also the highest-charting at number three. The lyrics in the verses are spoken, while only the chorus is sung.
The song begins with the narrator being asked by a girl, Mary Lou, to walk her home from school, which he accepts. She says that she would like to spend some time alone together instead of going right home; the narrator agrees. They go to the swimming hole. While there, the narrator catches a frog on a hollow log. He shakes it at her saying "This frog's for you." Mary Lou informs him that she dislikes spiders and snakes. She adds that his actions are not the way to bring about a romantic response from her. After a while, the narrator phones her to get together again. She says that she'll see him after school. He is nervous this time, thinking of another scheme, when Mary Lou again tells him clearly of her dislike for spiders and snakes, reiterating the same unromantic reasons.
“Spiders and Snakes” finished as the #53 song on NYC Radio’s 77 WABC’s Top 100 of 1974.
Quoting wikiped sure does add to the whole conversation..
Yeah. We already listened to the song.
same basic story
nowhere near as fun
Jim Stafford was briefly married to Bobbie Gentry between 1978 and 1980.
They have a child, too.
Thanks Jay and Amber for another gem from 1974. This song was inescapable on the radio. You should listen to his follow-up hit, My Girl Bill. Years ahead of its time and quite funny.
Yep, My Girl Bill... gotta get to the end to find out it's not what you thought it was about.
1974. I must have been singing this in school in second grade. I remember us giggling while singing it.
Jay and Amber, you mentioned Ray Stevens. You should listen to two of his #1 hits: The Streak, a comedy single from 1974, and then Everything Is Beautiful, a gorgeous tune from 1970 that starts with a children’s choir. You’ll find it uplifting!
@MrSteveLoucks Those are both great suggestions
Oh gosh yes, "My Girl Bill" is too funny!

Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd!! (It's a little dated, but fun!)
That's an old Roger Miller song. He had some pretty funny stuff, too.
Roger Miller could write a sing about anything.
Jim Stafford was also one hell-of-a-guitar player...
And tennis player.
Hell, yeah!
I remember Jim Stafford having a variety show back in the 70's. If i can remember, it didn't last long but it was so funny
It was only a summer series, so it was a limited run.
He started out as a guest on a local tv variety show in Cincinnati, The Bob Braun Show. You should listen to Dead Skunk next if you haven't already
You would probably love Swamp Witch by Jim Stafford as well.
God! I’ve been trying to remember that title. Thanks!
Jim did a great version of Mr. Bojangles and of course My Girl Bill is great.
Yes!! Definitively My girl Bill!!
Suave song.
We loved Jim Stafford back in the day.
Please do "Lord it's Hard to be Humble by Mac Davis next. It was the UNREP break-away song used onboard my first ship USS Niagara Falls (AFS-3). The crew asked Mac to do a personalized version of this song for Capt Terry - he loved Davis and this tune - and he actually took the time and did it. It's hard to be humble when you're prefect in every way! Cheers....
Make sure to watch the video version of Mac Davis singing It’s Hard to be Humble!
Swamp Witch!!
Save this one for Halloween.
Nobody knows this unless they had the record! It’s a great Halloween song and I’m always hoping one of the reactors will hit this some day. Great song!
I haven't heard this song since the 70's and forgot all about it!!!! Thank you for this Jay and Amber! ❤
Me too!
These, today, takes some of us back to the 70's...and our catching of spiders and snakes days, and frogs ♥
The Ballad of Uneasy Rider by Charlie Daniels is really funny, too.
Omg I was just thinking about that one
To this day I know all the words to that ballad. Long haired hippy type pinko fag!
OMG have not heard this since the 70's. Makes me laugh .
Awww, Jim Stafford. I played tennis with him a couple of times. He's got a serious forehand.
Randy Newman's "Short People" from 1978 is hilarious and actually caused some controversy. That's because some "short people" took offense to the lyrics. One artist you haven't done from the 60's is folk singer Phil Ochs, who was a contemporary of Bob Dylan. He mostly wrote about civil rights and other major issues of the time. One anti-war song he did actually has an amusing take on the then-military draft. "Draft Dodger Rag" is amusing and will allow you to dip into his impressive catalog of songs.
Lol I remember short people. I was telling my much younger sis about it
Your next reaction to Jim should be My girl Bill. It’s so funny.
Reminds me, for some reason, of Glenn Campbell's "I love my truck". It's funny how the strangest songs become hits!
Next will Have to be..."Cow Patti"...
She rode into town on a moped she called flame... I remember hearing this song for the first time when it came out. We died laughing at this line. And about watching your step when the chips were down... Yippy I O!!
Always liked these funny songs. There are a couple more from my youth you could checkout. “Dead Skunk” (in the middle of the road) from 1972 by Loudon Wainwright. Also, Ray Stevens classic, “The Streak” from 1974. It’s about the “streaking” phenomenon of the early/mid 70’s. Both fun songs👍
This is a classic!!!
1970s BABY PARTY NIGHT
I saw him in Branson about 4 years ago and he is still great. Swamp Witch is also fantastic.
“The Streak” by Ray Stevens. In the mid-70s, streaking (running naked through a public place) was a big fad. Ray capitalized on this phenomenon with a hit song. A streaker even ran across the stage during the Academy Awards in 1974! David Niven was behind the microphone and made a priceless quip. Yes, it’s on TH-cam.
Also hilarious: “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot!” by Jerry Reed. This popular song became a catchphrase. Jerry tells the story of a crap game with his buddies.
Jim Stafford also is amazing on the guitar!!!
“I’m gonna hire a wino to decorate our home” by David Frizzell
This really brings me back to my childhood. Wow, I haven't heard this song in decades! The chorus is still as catchy as ever, 50 years on.
Automatic - Pointer Sisters
Too Late To Turn Back Now - Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose
My Love is Free - Double Exposure
Ditto Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, also their hit Treat Her Like a Lady.
❤ Automatic !!! Yes, great song from my highschool days !
Loved this song in elementary school,. we would sing it all the time.
He did a duet of this song with Dolly Parton, totally funny
Omg, love this song! I remember when it came out, so cool! Glad you guys liked it. You’ll be referencing back to this song in your normal life…lol
Jerry Reed with The Bird is a funny one.
Jim is also a crazy good guitarist.
A good Jim Stafford song for spooky time in October would be Swamp Witch .
The Last Chant as well.
For a couple more Jim Stafford's songs check out "A Real Good Time" or "Swamp Witch"
"Swamp Witch" really manages to be unsettling.
Two other Jim Stafford songs to check out-My Girl Bill and I Got Stoned and I Missed It.
Awww one of my Momma's favorite songs!❤❤
This was a big hit back then. Tons of great music in the early 70's too.
When I was 8 my parents took me to my first concert where he opened up for Olivia Newton-John in 1975 at the Indiana State Fair.
Back in 1987, (yes, I'm old), I got to watch a live episode of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" the Dirty Dancers were the guest, but Jim Stafford was the guy that talked to the studio audience, and he was hilarious.
I was 8 when this song came out, he. Also, had a variety t v show. The 70s were fun.
No, you were clearly about minus 32 when this song came out lol!!
LOVE Jim Stafford. It's part of growing up in the seventies. This was one of the songs in the soundtrack of those years. Great tune!
Jim Stafford plays amazing classical guitar music as well. He's hugely talented and doesn't get nearly enough credit for his skills as a musician.
I love this song. Probably his most "mainstream" song. It was a huge hit.
I think the song that put him on the map was more mainstream than this. Called "Swamp Witch". "Spiders & Snakes" came later.
Haven't heard that song in ages. Thanks for bringin it back around.
Jim Stafford put a lot of smiles on a lot of faces... one of those faces was mine. Roger Miller was another artist who could make you sing along and laugh at the same time. Or Lewie Wickham. Or Ray Stevens. Or Jerry Reed. It was a fun era of music.
Love Spiders & Snakes. Perfect for 13 year-olds. We knew all the lyrics to it and The Streak when they came out. Give My Girl Bill a listen.
50 years later, I still love this song. 😎
Ray Stevens won two Grammys for serious works, Play Misty and Everything is Beautiful on top of his plethora of funny stuff that he is still creating today.
You gotta hear My Girl Bill!
I was driving to school when this came on the radio for the first time back in January of 1974, and I almost wrecked my old station wagon, I was laughing so hard!!🤣 Jim Stafford, Ray Stevens, Jerry Reed.. they were all country comedians, and a lot of their stuff crossed over to the hit list on regular 'rock' radio at the time.😄👍👍
Lost in the goofy lyrics is some really cool music. He was a great musician.
I remember seeing Jim Stafford on talk shows and comedy specials. He's a naturally funny guy and a heck of a guitar player. Some Jim Stafford songs to check out include:
"Swamp Witch"
"My Girl Bill"
"Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne"
"I Got Stoned and I Missed It"
"Cow Patti"
I was 13 or 14 when this came out...the song is unforgettable
Another of Jim's songs that will make you wonder......"MY GIRL BILL" !
Such a fun song , ❤
Ray Stevens’ funniest and most popular song is The Streak 😂
I fell in love with Jim when I first saw him on *the Smothers Brothers Show*. I got to see him perform and have his autograph. He is wonderfulness.
Great one from Jim!! 😂❤
Years ago, my wife volunteered as a midwife in Haiti for a couple of months. She said that Hatians love to catch banana spiders and make temporary pets of them, the way American kids would with caterpillars or something. She said the Haitians found it hilarious that she was completely creeped out by spiders, in some of them would make it a point to bring over the latest one they had caught just to screw with her. Then she found out that there is some sort of long-standing taboo against frogs in Haiti - Haitians are completely terrified of them for some reason. So naturally, the first frog she saw, she picked it up and brought it over to one of the Haitians who had been laughing at her about spiders, and he screamed like a little girl. 🤣
Jim Stafford grew up in Polk County Florida, I sold burgular alarms in Polk County in the 90's and got a call to go to his old home which he built after he was famous. The new owners wanted to add an alarm. I knew it was Jim Staffords old Home, as I approached the front door the bushes on the front porch were cut into perfect cubes and on the cube right next to the front door was a Black snake curled up perfectly in the middle of the cube. I thaught that was pretty funny to put a fake snake by the front door. (the old home of the guy who made the song Spiders and Snakes). I rang the bell and the snake departed. Obviously not fake. It was a strrange House, it had 13 glass double french doors and absolutly not one window in the whole house. Opend up on a lawn and about 100' down the lawn toward a lake was a large swiming pool.
Great funny song
Hadn’t heard this song for a few years. And sharing it with you two again made it that much better. Love your reactions.
Went to the store and got that record in 1974 For $1.39 And wore that 45 out!
Oh yeah song brings me back to my teens.
One of the best guitarists ever. A master
Love Jim Stafford from way back in the day (him and Ray Stevens). Haven't heard this song in many, many years.
Awesome song. Remember from back in the day. He was very popular Love this song!
Jim Stafford and Ray Stevens both had several hits each with this type of humorous novelty song late 60s, early 70s.
I remember this song from when I was a kid. I liked it then, but you guys always give me more appreciation of old songs. Thanks guys!
Has anyone else noticed how much these two have mirroring each other lately? I mean, they must be in love and happy. Imagine that.
Two people in love with each.
Three beautiful children.
Discovering and sharing great music and movies together.
Passing said music down to their kids. Sharing their experience with an audience of fans they made by simply being themselves. An audience that is over a half a million strong. Just like at Woodstock. And all they ask of us is that WE go out and make somebody smile.
You two are the best ambassadors of the music and movies of my youth gone by. I am proud to be a card-carrying member of the Rob Squad and tell most people I know how much I enjoy your reactions three times a day. Four, if you include the movies.
God Bless You.
It's almost like we did it way before back in the 2oth century. You guys embody the very spirit of the days gone by which both of your channels explore.
Keep going
Ray Steven's The Streak 😂❤
This is a song in nearly 50 years. This still tickles my soul.
A great funny story song is 30,000 Pounds of Bananas by master story teller Harry Chapin. There is a great live version from 1975 worth checking out. Thanks for the always wonderful Reactions!
His "Mr. Bojangles" will bring tears to your eyes.First class❤or "When Moma goes blind we're going to make love in the kitchen " 😂🤣 "Cow Patty "😂🤣
It’s years since I last heard this incredibly funny song. Great to hear it again. I was so glad to hear Amber doesn’t kill spiders. They eat all the bugs you don’t want in the house.
This was played all the time back in the day, such a great song.
“My Girl Bill”!!!!
That chika-chika, wakuh-wakuh sound is done on a guitar.
This song was popular when I was in 6th grade....and we loved it!
My wife would concur, in that she doesn't like spiders and snakes either!
It’s pure fun watching you two hear songs like this for the first time :). Thank you both for sharing this with us!
Another vote for Mac Davis's "Hard to be Humble"!!!!
File a note under Amber's name, "Call J to go frog gigging, NOT Amber!!" LOL!
Swamp Witch is a banger
A few lighthearted songs to check out., King Tut by Steve Martin, The Streak by Ray Stevens and I Wanna Be A Lifeguard by Blotto
My gosh, I adored this song when I was a kid. I was a tomboy who loved spiders and snakes, so I thought this was the perfect song. Haha!
This song was on the radio when I was a kid. It brings back memories of being with my dad in his truck ❤️
I had totally forgotten this song! Loved it as a kid. Thanks for the memory! And 2nd the suggestion for Mac Davis "It's hard to be humble"!!!!
Blast from the past! This song was fun to sing along to as kids.
You guys just made my day. I'm 61 yr old. Indiana girl just took me back to my teenage years. You fool.....
This was probably Jim Stafford's biggest hit and it takes me back to when it came out over 50 years ago when I was only around eight or nine years old. Loved it then, love it now. If you haven't done it yet, check out "My Girl, Bill".
