Woo hoo. Just donated. Thanks for putting the link in. Someday, would love to get your reaction to this. (Roy Clark - Yesterday) th-cam.com/video/NEY4LxORCeo/w-d-xo.html
it is about a woman that was harassed (told how to raise her daughter) by the Parent Teacher Association. She was a single mom, who was doing the best she could do, and was a good mother. The P.T.A. was a bunch of hypocrites. This happens a lot in real life even now days
I’m here because this song was written by my friend, Tom T. Hall. Nice to see someone reacting to one of his songs. Country music has taken a different direction in recent years and this song and other classics like it seem to be getting forgotten. Thanks for reacting to this song. 👍🏼
I'm 58 years old. I've been listening to Tom T Hall since I was a kid! "The Year Clayton Delaney Died" "Old Dogs Children and Watermelon Wine" "Week In a County Jail". One of the greatest musical storytellers of all time. Tell him we love him and he is appreciated.
Yeah, boy, howdy. You got that right. You want to tick a genteel Southern woman off, tell her how she needs to raise her young'un. You got it to do then.
childhood memories! Cool - after Mom threw my step-father out she got a job as a cocktail waitress in the days of hot pants and short skirts. All the church folks looked down on her for working in hot pants and serving drinks. I was proud of her for keeping us alive.
What ever it takes, got to feed the kids the deadbeat dads didn't, Wait did that just get deep? lol, My mom worked two full time job's and a part-time job on her days off, we didn't live in the best neighbors, but we were clean and fed, You do what you can with what you can, kid's come first!
Glad to hear some of the oldes being reacted to, these days they've seemed to go on the wayside in country music, thanks for the rection to this Tom T. Hall true story made into a song sung by jeannie C. Riley!
For the few that don't know, Peyton Place was a movie about hidden secrets and scandals in a small town called Peyton Place. It was turned in to the first night time soap opera on TV.
Loved that song! I grew up in a small town just like that. The people gossiping were doing the worst things. I love your reactions and commentary. You are adorable!
Oh my goodness, this was such a beautiful reaction thank you! I am not big on country, or a big fan of this song but I am big on a honest reaction. Thank you.
I have been listening to this song for 50 years.. I guess it's time ot watch the Movie Harper Valley PTA with Barbra Eden "I dream of Jennie" One of the most beautiful women of all times yet always classy ..
I've always wondered if she used so much ice when hubby was away, because she was drinking or because she had to ice bruises he gave her. I probably have always over thought it.
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for doing this one!! Every time I sang at places like Vet Halls, Moose Lodges etc., places like that, I always got multiple requests for this song. I’d pick out people (usually I knew) in the audience and use them for the PTA’ers😳🤣. It was so much fun! It really wasn’t that one side or the other was ‘right.’ It was the nasty JUDGING going on - everybody has a ‘pta’ they’d like to ‘sock it to’ 🤪🥰
I love the song and liked the way you listened to it with an open mind. You did not try to shut it down because it was of a different Genre. You even started to move your body to it a little bit in the middle. You gave it a chance and I give you a thumbs up
When Jeanie C Riley was given this song, she did not want to do it because it was not Country. Her agent/manager told her to take her anger at being forced to sing it (she was under contract and had no choice) and put that into the song to ruin it and the producers would forget it. But that was just what did not happen. The attitude she put into the song made it very believable and it was a hit.
The song was made into a movie with Barbara Eden (I dream of Jeanie). Watch it if you can find it. Its a cute funny movie in the 70s I think maybe 1980.
In the 1950's and 1960's, the PTA was the formal organization of the "ladies who lunch." The mayor's wife, the pastor's wife, the judge's wife, the largest employer's wife, etc. It may have been technically open to any parents of schoolchildren, but it was dominated by the powers behind the throne, and they could get really nasty to those they considered "outsiders."
Hi India and awesome work!!! My Wife and I have got another "blast from the past" for you...a song called: "Ode To Billy Joe" by Bobbie Gentry. A little background for you about this song, she is one of the first female artist to write "and" produce her own song that was a top hit! Not only that, but it went to the top in the Country, Pop, Contemporary & R&B charts. Finally, Rolling Stone Magazine inducted Ode To Billy Joe into the top 500 "Best Songs Ever" list. You've gotta listen! It WILL give you goose bumps!!! Much Love. D
Haha India your comments on this one just gave me a pain in my side I laughed so hard! When I say “PTA”, my 10 yr. old son reminds me “its the PTO ma” 😂👍🏼
Your face about the high dress was extremely funny it was as if you were sitting in the room with her like Brenda from Scary movie hyping mrs Johnson up to spill the whole pot of tea.
Hi India, love your channel, you always make me laugh with your facial expressions 😂 since this was written by Tom T. Hall maybe do something he sang? Old dogs, children and watermelon wine 😉
I think that what struck me most since I first heard this song long ago was, how dare you tell me how to raise my child and call me unfit, when you all act like you do. For me it was always about more than just her personal thing, it was about standing up for her daughter to have a life where she can do what she wants without fearing hypocrites who may be watching. It's also about being brave enough to be your authentic self as She does everything in her life openly, she has nothing to hide whereas the PTA members live their lives with as much secrecy as they can pull off in a small town. But that's just been the take I've always had. Please keep up the wonderful content, I look forward to your vids. Much love and respect and I wish you and yours a great day.
The PTA is the Parent Teachers Association and they would work together at various school functions in the hopes of Every one coming together as a Community for the children.
I remember a movie, I think it was made for TV?, and it starred Barbara Eden ( I Dream of Genie). I loved it. I knew the song before that but I thought the movie was a beautiful rendition of it. What in Heaven's name ever happened to Barbara Eden?? Thanks India, good call :)
Haven't been a big country fan, but, loved this song. Great reaction. U may like, When U Hot, You're Hot and Amos Moses, Jerry Reed. Country, pop feel. Thanks!!
Annother song I could not stop laughing about was "Its Hard to be humble" by Mac Davis..he said he wrote it after watching how full of themselves the stars got in the green rooms while waiting to perform .it is a hoot.
My mom played old country songs every sunday on 8 track tapes on 8 track stereo, this one of her favorites as was It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels by Kitty Wells
There is a movie they made for this song. The woman from "I Dream of Genie" plays the mother! It's so good! There is a music video of the movie clips with the song.
Yes, the P.T.A (Parent and Teachers Association) was a big thing in 60's and 70's. They were responsible for organizing school fund-raising events, discussing neighborhood community concerns, etc.
just a little thing but, her name is Jeannie - pronounced Gee-nee, just think I Dream of Jeannie, the tv show, with Barbara Eden, who was play Ms Johnson in the movie of this song, or a more up-to-date reference, "Genie in a Bottle" :))
Watch the movie Starring Barbara Eden. Watching her walk into the auditorium in that mini skirt with those white boots... Priceless. Yes, it was a big deal back then to get a note from the PTA. (Parent teachers Association). They were snotty a...holes. lol
I love this song and all of the songs on the CD but there are depressing songs included. My parents had it as an 8-track when I was a kid and it was so catchy that I remembered as an adult and had to buy it.
I've always liked this song. It tells how people jude people instead minding their own business. Jeannie c Riley tells it like it is. Elvis liked this song.
Small town southern myself and it's sadly true even without hotpants. Just being a single parent for awhile was enough. I felt those judgments before but killed with kindnesses and being myself. Only reason going around those people was my children. Fake and don't play well with others/outsiders. Nannies beware lessons learned.

Can't contribute right now dear-waiting to hear about a new position and right now every penny counts! I will contribute though as soon as I can!
There is also a movie about this song Barbara Eden from i dream of Jeannie plays the mom of the teenage girl
I feel like I should comment about the ice, you see people use to have ice delivered to them sooo you do the math
it is about a woman that was harassed (told how to raise her daughter) by the Parent Teacher Association. She was a single mom, who was doing the best she could do, and was a good mother. The P.T.A. was a bunch of hypocrites. This happens a lot in real life even now days

Tom has always been a favorite of mine. Fried Bologna eggs and gravy!
T is Soo great and underrated
Tom T Hall? Oh yeah! You mean that guy who likes beer. 😁
Love Tom T Hall
This is what we call spilling allllll the tea in the south.
Yeah, boy, howdy. You got that right. You want to tick a genteel Southern woman off, tell her how she needs to raise her young'un. You got it to do then.
Will Deloach she’ll snatch you across that fence.
@Lisa Chapman , it is Jeanie, like beanie......not Jenny.
😝
Boston Tea Party had nothing on her Momma!
childhood memories! Cool - after Mom threw my step-father out she got a job as a cocktail waitress in the days of hot pants and short skirts. All the church folks looked down on her for working in hot pants and serving drinks. I was proud of her for keeping us alive.

You do what you can with what you can, kid's come first!
Got any pictures!? Lol
@@daveyhouston somewhere in a large tub filled with photos
Amen! Your mama sounds like a strong woman !
"Gotta feed the babies Gotta feed the babies..." Mama did what she had to do to take care of her responsibilities. 👍👍
She does such a great job with this song, that it's easy to miss the fantastic job that fella does on that Dobro. Man, he kills it.
The man on the Dobro, is Harold Morrison. This is from about 1968 on The Wilburn Brothers Show.
I have always loved this freaking song. She puts them in their place!
Glad to hear some of the oldes being reacted to, these days they've seemed to go on the wayside in country music, thanks for the rection to this Tom T. Hall true story made into a song sung by jeannie C. Riley!
I'm in total agreement with you Naomi about Country the way it used to be. For me the likes of the Buck Owens Bakersfield sound will never age
This was a huge hit for Jeannie C. Riley. A movie based upon the song was made. Barbara Eden starred in it...
I love this song. Grew up listening to it. In fact, when i was a little kid and my school would mention "PTA" i would always be reminded of this song.
I love that you are first-time seeing these old songs. I like that you put out these reactions.
For the few that don't know, Peyton Place was a movie about hidden secrets and scandals in a small town called Peyton Place. It was turned in to the first night time soap opera on TV.
Mia Farrow
And Ryan O'neil.
@@paintinganimalsonrocks7633
I remember it well. It was shown on TV here in the UK when I was a child.
Richard Case wasn’t the movie based on a novel by the same name?
I've been listening to this song forever and, hand on the Bible, I thought she said it was a little hatin' place and they're all hypocrites. 🤯😆
I’m proud of ya. I’m so glad as a younger person you have an open mind to listen to true music and artist.
I was a teenager when this song come out and I loved it and still do.
I grew up hearing this song. Love your reaction as always India!!
Love this song, Jeannie C Riley, and Tom T. Hall too (the writer). Great reaction!
Loved that song! I grew up in a small town just like that. The people gossiping were doing the worst things. I love your reactions and commentary. You are adorable!
I bought this in the 60s when it was number 1. We all loved it. Thanks for the memory!
I looooooves this song! My Mom and I used to sing it loud when it came on the radio.
OH Yes, PTA. was big back in the day. & needed this song. After Honey& last teardrop. & I will donate
I'm Irish and years ago we used play this song every morning going to work in car. Cheered us up for work ahead lol. I was driver
Oh my goodness, this was such a beautiful reaction thank you! I am not big on country, or a big fan of this song but I am big on a honest reaction. Thank you.
I always loved this song! Well done by Jeannie C. Riley.
wow not heard this in... 20 years. thanks
I think the audience is clapping for the guitar players. Nice reaction vid!
I have been listening to this song for 50 years.. I guess it's time ot watch the Movie Harper Valley PTA with Barbra Eden "I dream of Jennie" One of the most beautiful women of all times yet always classy ..
I just wanted to state that this song takes place when ice was delivered by a deliveryman.
It was not! It was the 60's.
I've always wondered if she used so much ice when hubby was away, because she was drinking or because she had to ice bruises he gave her. I probably have always over thought it.
This is one of the greatest songs of all time-my granddaughter sings it all the time with a #BAM at the end😂😂
Love me some Jeannie C. Riley! She did a (gentler) followup 17 years later.
After she found religion, she started releasing Christian songs and the followup was seen as an apology for the first one.
i'm sorry to say this reminds me of the town i grew up in anyone from a small town will say amen
Used to love this show way back in the day!!!!
His song and Lorreta Lynn's " I've got the pill" were just the beginning of women's movement
Have loved that song since 68! Thanks!❤️
I want to tell you, before the pain pills kick in, what fun you bring to my life. God Bless.
'people who live in glass houses.....'. 😂
Need bigger curtains.
😂😂😂😉
For those who may not get the reference when she talks about using to much ice she’s insinuating she’s messing around with the ice man
Haven't heard this song in many many many years lol !! Thanks whoever loves this you know is over 60 lol !! Or very close to it !!
It’s a good story song. Even if you don’t listen to country music it’s quite catchy and sends a message.
Jeannie C Riley soooo fine
Yeah wasn't the gals beautiful back then
That was one of my mother's favorite songs.
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for doing this one!! Every time I sang at places like Vet Halls, Moose Lodges etc., places like that, I always got multiple requests for this song.

Thanks for playing that! I totally forgot about that classic song! Check out Nancy Sinatra "these boots". Hilarious!
Yah! Love the song and the movie!
OMG!!! I totally forgot about this song! We had musical story-tellers back in the day!
Tom T. Hall wrote many great songs. He was called the Story Teller. My favorite is "I love little Baby Ducks" 😆 its a silly song. But its great.
The song was made into a movie with Barbara Eden (I dream of Jeanie). Watch it if you can find it. Its a cute funny movie in the 70s I think maybe 1980.
We LOVE to sing this at Karaoke nights! LOL!!

Great song
Loved it
Tfs
Jeannie C. Riley was WORKING that bouffant!!!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Another great one...

There's a movie called Harper Valley P.T.A Barbara Eden plays Mrs. Johnson. It's on TH-cam
They made a TV movie of the song with Barbara Eden. You may know her as Jeannie from the old show I Dream Of Jeannie.
The PTA is the Parent Teachers Association and they would work together at various school functions in the hopes of Every one coming together as a Community for the children.
I am not sure if you know but the PTA is Parent Teacher Association! Times were different back in the day!!
You have to listen to the second part of this there is a part 2 to this song and it's just as good as the first one
Beautifully done lady!! You are so fun! They actually made a movie from this song btw\
I haven't watched your video yet but I love that song and I know you will review it well!!!!!!!!!!! Here I go......
Wonderfull!
One of the best twist endings to a song ever Lol
I remember a movie, I think it was made for TV?, and it starred Barbara Eden ( I Dream of Genie). I loved it. I knew the song before that but I thought the movie was a beautiful rendition of it. What in Heaven's name ever happened to Barbara Eden?? Thanks India, good call :)
No, it was in the cinemas first (I saw it in 1978) it was rated PG.
And Barbara is still alive and well.
You gotta love the white go go boots n this video
Haven't been a big country fan, but, loved this song. Great reaction. U may like, When U Hot, You're Hot and Amos Moses, Jerry Reed. Country, pop feel. Thanks!!
She spilled the Tea, right!!
Jeannie C. Riley only had a few hit songs. She did several albums though. Most of her hit songs are actually about her childhood!
Annother song I could not stop laughing about was "Its Hard to be humble" by Mac Davis..he said he wrote it after watching how full of themselves the stars got in the green rooms while waiting to perform
.it is a hoot.
This was the theme to Peyton Place a very famous series from the sixties! It was also a worldwide smash for Jeanie C Riley
Praise! Say it!
This song is a true story
SHE WAS THROWING SHADE!!!! 😆
She lit them up
My mom played old country songs every sunday on 8 track tapes on 8 track stereo, this one of her favorites as was It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels by Kitty Wells
A terrific singer is Josh Turner singing the song “ Long black Train “ you will be stunned !!!
Wow, I remember that old song.
Yes, the reference to peyton place is reference to soap opera, sock it to me, is a line from Laugh In.
There is a movie they made for this song. The woman from "I Dream of Genie" plays the mother! It's so good! There is a music video of the movie clips with the song.
Such a sassy song!
Tom T Hall known as the story teller. A great song writer
This was the classic country way of saying "MIND YO BUSINESS".
Yes, the P.T.A (Parent and Teachers Association) was a big thing in 60's and 70's. They were responsible for organizing school fund-raising events, discussing neighborhood community concerns, etc.
Love how she told them :}
SHE DID A FOLLOW UP YEARS LATER, CALLED RETURN TO HARPER VALLEY
"Sockittome"....been a while since I heard that expression.
Goldie Hawn in Laugh In!
just a little thing but, her name is Jeannie - pronounced Gee-nee, just think I Dream of Jeannie, the tv show, with Barbara Eden, who was play Ms Johnson in the movie of this song, or a more up-to-date reference, "Genie in a Bottle" :))
In my opinion it says those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones if they don't want them thrown back
That ole boy is gettin down on that dobro!
Mom brought a beat down!!
Watch the movie Starring Barbara Eden. Watching her walk into the auditorium in that mini skirt with those white boots... Priceless.
Yes, it was a big deal back then to get a note from the PTA. (Parent teachers Association). They were snotty a...holes. lol
You are a hoot!!
I love this song and all of the songs on the CD but there are depressing songs included. My parents had it as an 8-track when I was a kid and it was so catchy that I remembered as an adult and had to buy it.
I've always liked this song. It tells how people jude people instead minding their own business. Jeannie c Riley tells it like it is. Elvis liked this song.
Elvis also did a song called Clean up your own backyard
Check it out same message
And yet, it is Jan 2020, nothing has changed.
🤦♂️
You mentioned Tom T Hall. he is someone you should look up as well. They call him the Story Teller
Small town southern myself and it's sadly true even without hotpants. Just being a single parent for awhile was enough. I felt those judgments before but killed with kindnesses and being myself. Only reason going around those people was my children. Fake and don't play well with others/outsiders. Nannies beware lessons learned.
Sounds like you realy liked this song. Well you should take some time out and watch the movie what a way to spend the afternoon , Happy viewing.
