I first heard Ghost Riders on my mother's 78 record, yes this was over 5 decades ago. It was sung by Johnny Cash. Then I heard a husky voiced female piano player sing it on Mackinaw Island in the early 1980's. I will never forget her, she saw me walk in and would dedicate the song to me. Thanks to you, I too will never ever think of this song the same way again. 🤣🤣🤣
I thought Marty was gonna have an accident but none of them skipped or soured any notes! It had to take a lot of facial muscle skill for LeRoy to keep such a straight face while everybody else there was splitting their sides!!
My dad played banjo like Leroy Troy. Here in Tennessee we call it "Mountain Banjo". This is hilarious! It takes some skill to change the lyrics of a song and have them fit so well. Makes me think of all the other talented country singing parodists whom I appreciate greatly. Leroy Troy is another great one.
One thing I hadn't thought about because it seemed so normal to me. In this day and age, it's not something to take for granted. The cross and 2 American flags in the background. Thank you Marty Stuart.
This is one awesome parody! Leroy Troy is a genius. Few people realize how hard it is to write a good comedic song. Leroy knocked this one out of the park. I played it Atlanta last spring for a crowd who just fell apart with laughter. They had never heard it before, so I got a chance to do a little promo for Leroy. I hope to see him perform someday as I live up the road in Bowling Green.
Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Troy was my neighbor and good friend in Goodlettsville Tennessee for 10 years. Talented funny and what you see here is exactly what he is just a good old country boy.
Use to listen to country songs like grandma's feather bed BUT this one is too country indeed......and....I enjoyed it very much ....probably I should try playing with my guitar....TQVM... Bro ....LUMUT MALAYSIA
1st time i heard this I was laughing my ass off ,! How could Marty and his band still play ,,, when laughing,,, lol God Bless from northern Ireland UK,,
All those people are professionals and talented...you can just tell that they are having fun with Leroy...they put a great show.... God bless them all...
I love how while the rest of the band is losing it, Kenny Vaughan keeps a straight face until "And they ate him with coleslaw." Even off camera, you can tell he finally cracked up.
I have watched this vid hundreds of times and the guy standing in the background with the base (guitar or fiddle) his facial expressions always cracked me up
The guy on bass makes this, the way he tries not to laugh & crease up. I bet he can't go to KFC without at least one laugh, I know I can't after watching this. Last time I went through the local drive through, johnny Cash, singing "Ghost Riders In The Sky"started playing on the radio, and I cracked up so much, I whacked the door mirror on the serving hatch because the tears in my eyes affected my vision so much! Everyone in the car looked at me in disbelief, wondering what was so funny. I just couldn't believe the coincidence of the song being played exactly at that moment. 🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎
I can't think of a time when I did not regard "Ghost Riders in the Sky"as one of the best songs ever written on the North American Continent. I have even visited the ranger cabin in Death Valley where Stan Jones wrote the American Western Classic. Having said that I have also had a life long reverence for the irreverent and this parody is friggin' hilarious.
oh yes i have a feeling working on that show gave people lots of laughs this song sounds like Homer and Jethro and he almost made Kenny smile wonder if they ever eat at KFC anymore
Ghost Chickens in the Sky (To the tune of "Ghost Riders in the Sky")
A chicken Farmer went out one dark and windy day And by the coop he rested as he went on his way When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye It was the sight he dreaded, ghost chickens in the sky Chorus Squawk cluck, squawk cluck (Make chicken noises!) Ghost chickens in the sky This farmer had these chickens since he was twenty four, Working for the Colonel for thirty years or more Catching all these chickens and sending them to fry. And now they want revenge, ghost chickens in the sky. Chorus Their beaks were black and shining their eyes were burning red They had no meat or feathers these chickens they were dead. They picked the farmer up and he died by the claw They cooked him extra crispy (pause) and ate him with coleslaw!
will i be a ghost in the sky ? and love this version . Well I have been told by DR that I have 2-5 years left at the most maybe a few years more but for now , time is not on my side , will keep going , so enjoy your life as we don't know when that time will stop , Love and peace to all out there 1/3/2024 I am not angry The doctor said I was just the unlucky one , I just have to get on with life for now :)
"They cooked him extra crispy, and they ate him with Cold Slaw." Made my morning. Thanx!
You know this band has talent when the band can't keep a straight face but still play it perfectly
Right! 🤣
Yup!
You are right . They can't keep a straight face, but they still playing it perfectly...
Leroy spit on himself caw cawing.. Too funny. Watch him wipe his eye..
@@marquesalf3527
the best part is that the whole band is losing their minds laughing
And the singer is dead panning it!
The whole band, except for the electric guitar player.
@@AbuMaia01 he’s deaf, be nice
The bass player is losing his mind
I'll never hear Ghost Riders In The Sky the same way ever again...thank you. I loved it.
Whenever I need an uplift, play this.

@@TheLittlered1961 I remember the Johnny Cash version.
I love LeRoy Troy. Everybody laughing their butts off, but LeRoy standing there like he was at a funeral, even while crowing like rooster.
It really shows the skill of these musicians to be pissing themselves laughing and not miss a note.
NONE OF THEM HIT a NOTE !
@sam zuriel Opinions vary !
Love the bassist
I thought Marty was gonna have an accident but none of them skipped or soured any notes! It had to take a lot of facial muscle skill for LeRoy to keep such a straight face while everybody else there was splitting their sides!!
probably prerecorded
I don't care whatever anybody else says that's hilarious right there
All the vegans' n' vegetarians be right happy 'bout this - them pore ol' chickens gettin' revenge !!
Now that’s funny!
hahaha
Amen.
Amen!
Never heard of Leroy, but that was pretty hilarious. Especially watching the bass player trying to keep from laughing. Well done 😂

😊😃I’m very pleased to know I’m not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.
One thing I hadn't thought about because it seemed so normal to me. In this day and age, it's not something to take for granted. The cross and 2 American flags in the background. Thank you Marty Stuart.
The flags are for patriotism, the cross is for pissing on.
Laughter combined with good music is good medicine , I'm healed.
O
😂😢😮😅
Milagro ... ... !!!
I cried with laughter as I was listening to this masterpiece, it just blew me away the way it was executed by Leroy.
I miss country music like this!
Hello how are you doing today…?
Nothing but good clean humor. America needs that today.
Nooo
That is real country music no matter that it's a parody!
I love how Marty is trying to keep his composure and still play meanwhile the guy playing the upright bass in the background is just dying laughing 🤣
This is one awesome parody! Leroy Troy is a genius. Few people realize how hard it is to write a good comedic song. Leroy knocked this one out of the park.

Hello from Edmonton!
Think I will do the same at my little shows around the DMV.. was thinking similar then just saw your comment.
He's definitely an exceptionally talented musician for sure
Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Very few can pull it off; this is just perfection.
The folks who voted this down...they just can't handle sophisticated humor.
probably got voted down for not giving sean morey credit for being the writer and original performer
Tubetopfan1
I thought this was sarcastic and funny great Revenge for the chickens
Tubetopfan1, this is about as "sophisticated" as Miracle Whip. But...it is very funny!
This is just too sophisticated for us down under.. love from Australia.. there through thick and thin our brothers in arms
*PETA* has left the building
GOOD AND STAY THERE YA RUNT
why do you say that? This song is about the chicken's getting their revenge, weren't you paying attention?
@@invisibleink64 r/wooooosh also wow ive never had this many likes before XD
Stronger than red onions.
I see the bass player didn`t last ten seconds before cracking up, absolute, 100% Grade A. A classic song.
He was probably remembering the rehearsal
creative !!!!
Marty couldn't hold it together, either.
555
I really love his face expressions :P
Rolling on the ground after this one- pure genius!
whenever i feel a bit down , this is my first go to ! !
I'd forgotten about this song.
Hey how are you doing today sweetie..?
This is just hilarious!!! This is why I miss shows like He Haw!!! Incredible musicians and jut ridiculous humor!!
Anytime I need a good laugh I go back to this. If you can watch this and not at least smile then you better check your pulse.
I didn't smile
Like for real
Not even a little
Penney....if one does NOT laugh then you are already 6 down..🤣😂🤘🙃
2022 still funny.
About the happiest song I've heard in 10 years
Troy was my neighbor and good friend in Goodlettsville Tennessee for 10 years. Talented funny and what you see here is exactly what he is just a good old country boy.
The bass player is the best.😀😀😀
Two days later and I'm still repeat playing this.
Oh man, I love that song! Eeeerrrrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrrr,,,,,,,,,,,eeeerrrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrr, eeeerrrrr.
Love it 😂❤ thank you. Definitely sharing.
With out a doubt he is one of the greatest.
My hat's off to anybody who has the confidence to poke a little fun at themselves.
It is a great thing when you can poke fun at your own genre and have a great time doing it ! Priceless stuff !
The bass players facial expressions cracks. Me up 😊
That double bass player is laughing fit to bust but doesn't miss a beat - brilliant
Have to give him a LOT of credit for that!
Why have I never heard of this or Leroy Troy?????? How have I lived without this song??????
I've never heard this before and I grew up listening to old country. I love it!!
Why don't they have stuff like this on TV any more? Smothers Brothers were great too! Carol Burnett, He Haw, heck even Sonny and Cher.
Great harmony!
With all the discord in this country these days, this is needed!
Use to listen to country songs like grandma's feather bed BUT this one is too country indeed......and....I enjoyed it very much ....probably I should try playing with my guitar....TQVM... Bro ....LUMUT MALAYSIA
This is my new favorite song !!! Onya Leroy 👍🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺
You know it's a laugh when none of the band can even keep a straight face.
TOOOO RIGHT!!
Kenny Vaughn always stands there totally expression less
1st time i heard this I was laughing my ass off ,! How could Marty and his band still play ,,, when laughing,,, lol God Bless from northern Ireland UK,,
I love Leroy's dead chicken song.you go Leroy
Fabulous !
Best version.
Hey how are you doing..?
All those people are professionals and talented...you can just tell that they are having fun with Leroy...they put a great show.... God bless them all...
Did you see where he spit on himself when he was Ca Caaing? He wiped spit off his eye.
Leeroy Troy 'Ghost Chikens. Brilliant and so very funny. Watch the bass player's face. Marty should let him join the band.
Hello how are you doing today…?
Super excellent, boys.V well.
Good man on the banjo.
I love how while the rest of the band is losing it, Kenny Vaughan keeps a straight face until "And they ate him with coleslaw." Even off camera, you can tell he finally cracked up.
Damn I love that music. That to me is real music.
CUTE song Thank you.
Hello how are you doing today…..?
I have watched this vid hundreds of times and the guy standing in the background with the base (guitar or fiddle) his facial expressions always cracked me up
One of my favourite songs. Love the antics of the bloke playing the double bass.
The bloke is an idiot.
This is so awesome keep up the good work and Ghost chickens in the sky right on
Hello how are you doing…?😊
I loved that song
Delicious DELIGHTFUL Pick up for our soul❤❤❤
This is pure country comedy at its best !! I want it saved to my songs !

Shot, bro.
Since I first watched this a week ago, I'm visiting KFC more often!
That was fowl!!! 🤪🤪🤪
I warch this often and it cracks me up every time, it should be played at every funeral!
If this didn't make you laugh, your just plain angry!
You are a great American Leroy!
Absolutely Love it .
I love the bass player! He cracks up every time he clucks.
I can't think of a time when I did not regard "Ghost Riders in the Sky"as one of the best songs ever written on the North American Continent. I have even visited the ranger cabin in Death Valley where Stan Jones wrote the American Western Classic. Having said that I have also had a life long reverence for the irreverent and this parody is friggin' hilarious.
A true timeless classic. Such haunting melody and lyrics. And, like you, I have a weakness for the irreverent, as well!
Awesome and mysterious.
Bloody brilliant
This is hysterical! I laugh out loud each and every time I watch it - and that’s a lot of times! 😂
Hello how are you doing today..?
The bass player certainly helped me enjoy this more!
I usually can't take Old Leroy Troy, but I have to admit.......this is one of his better performances. God Bless him!!
Asome along with the a banjo
That was fantastic
Er-er-er-er-er 😂. Been a minute since i watched this show. Always had me rolling.
Why is this my first time discovering this. This is great
No matter how many times I watch this video it cracks me up everytime and I love Marty Stuart's reaction to it as well
The ONLY one to keep a straight face is the guy to the left on the guitar.
Fantastic
Bravo!
Hello how are you doing?
the bass players face was priceless haha
Agree with that.
oh yes i have a feeling working on that show gave people lots of laughs this song sounds like Homer and Jethro and he almost made Kenny smile wonder if they ever eat at KFC anymore
the look on Kennys face is priceless he is looking like You Have To Be Kidding Me
never heard before what a brilliant and funny find
SIETE PROPRIO FORTI E SIMPATICI UN SALUTONE DA ITALIA CIAO
Bass player cracks me up
First Time I heard this, Fantastic!
Love the facial expression's as he sings.
Where has this been all my life!

Ghost Chickens in the Sky
(To the tune of "Ghost Riders in the Sky")
A chicken Farmer went out one dark and windy day
And by the coop he rested as he went on his way
When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye
It was the sight he dreaded, ghost chickens in the sky
Chorus
Squawk cluck, squawk cluck (Make chicken noises!)
Ghost chickens in the sky
This farmer had these chickens since he was twenty four,
Working for the Colonel for thirty years or more
Catching all these chickens and sending them to fry.
And now they want revenge, ghost chickens in the sky.
Chorus
Their beaks were black and shining their eyes were burning red
They had no meat or feathers these chickens they were dead.
They picked the farmer up and he died by the claw
They cooked him extra crispy (pause) and ate him with coleslaw!
will i be a ghost in the sky ? and love this version .
Well I have been told by DR that I have 2-5 years left at the most maybe a few years more but for now , time is not on my side , will keep going , so enjoy your life as we don't know when that time will stop , Love and peace to all out there 1/3/2024
I am not angry The doctor said I was just the unlucky one , I just have to get on with life for now :)
Absolutely brilliant! So funny. See the face of the guy on base. Leeroy and Marty together what a team. 100% Country......
Hello how are you doing..?
This song is brilliant. It can release a lot of stress and forget about Coup.
