The thing is though - nobody in this song actually marries a genetic/blood relative. The young woman his dad married was the daughter of the singer's wife but not his daughter. So no actual incest or genetic worries just a massive headache trying to work out what to call everybody.
And it only took, I think, five people? The person singing, his wife, her daughter, his dad, and his son. Mpwa, you did a great job of grasping the family ties here.
another way to look at it is Ray is the half-brother of the red head's son who is of course his grandson. making the red heads mother (the widow) and Rays wife also his grandmother.
Lol, it was great seeinig your reaction to this, Fay. You did a great job of following along and grasping what was happening. I think this song is mythological but it does show what can happen if familial relations ever get too loose, lol. Thank you for this fabulous reaction! here's to your next one. 🙏😊❤️
It was quite hard to wait until the end to comment!!!! What another great video!!!! I like 2 Cello’s take on the song Cryin’ by Aerosmith!!!! (And purple haze!!!!) 😎👍
Another Ray Stevens worth listening to is the Mississippi Squirrel Revival. Wonderfully funny.
Blue Cyclone

And the father/stepdaughter's son... total of 6
I've heard this song a million times, but watching this vid was the best one. Great reaction!

lmao I just realized Ray is his own grandpa and the great grandpa to his own son as well.....can imagine his son telling a teacher this story.
Thanks for checking out my classic comedy song!
A really beautiful song 🔥💯
You did a great job keeping up with it!
Thank you 🙏
This is more than funny. Something tells me that Weird Al listened to a lot of this guy when he was a kid.
Yes it is funny, he might have. Thanks you the feedback
Its not about incest at all
You were wonderful following this!!
there was no incest in the song though lol
Not as confusing as this, but my grandma married her deceased husband's brother which made him my Great Uncle/Grandpa lol.
If you look below, Ray was here! What a legend:)
A legend indeed
This song will burn your brain up.
She should watch the movie where they sing it on the Stupids

A genealogical nightmare to sort out.. 😅
Biologically it looks ok, but I'm no geneticist. Socially it would probably be awkward.
