if you can sit thru Ray Stevens stuff and not get at least a grin, your not human, that's all I can say, cause the man is by far the funniest songwriter ever!
Ray has earned a seat in heaven, for all the joy and mirth his songs have engendered over the years... How could anyone not want him in the Country music hall of fame...
Ray Stevens is the epitome of patriocity, comedy, and is a genius. He had his first hit when I was in high school, and I've loved him ever since. But the patriotic songs really grab me by the heart. Thanks, Ray! I'm on Broadjam but I will never be able to compare to Ray.
I've always loved Ray Steven's music. So much fun. I remember when The Streak came out, 2 guys streaked down the street in front of the local radio station in Auburn, Maine.
My friend Ray....been decades since I first heard you when I was a teen and you were putting out "the streak" and from then on...we were best friends as you just continued to crank out one funny after another. I enjoy all your music and your wonderful sense of humor that come out during your songs. Never have you lowered yourself too obscene vocals...or dirty lines..just pure family entertainment!! I have nothing but the highest respect for you and the family that supports you though out the years!! God bless you and thank you for doing the song "Stand up" - our nation needed that song and hope people will wake up in time to turn us around!! God bless you & your family & the friends that are all behind the scenes making it all come together. God has used you too get through too us......been a pleasure!! Thank you!!
I just heard this one this year. As always, Ray Stevens manages to make even simple pleasures like eating chili a event you'll never forget. Thanks Ray, for the funny memories. Love you, man.
This song is based on a true event in a way a judge was sent to the hospital after trying a few spicy chili dishes i remember reading the news article do not remember when just that it was after 2011 for i had my dog when I read it
That is very true it's about time they put this great Entertainer in the Country Music Hall of Fame let you know they only do what they want to do he's one of the funniest country comedians in the history of funny he doesn't curse he just makes a joke out of seeing things in everyday life writes it down makes it comical genius to do probably will have to wait till Ray passes on then I'll put Ray Stevens in the Country Music Hall of Fame then but I'll tell you what it don't matter I love this man he's one of the funniest people I ever listen to God bless Ray Stevens and I keep these great great Ray Stevens videos coming
Squirrel not squirell! You might want to learn how to spell it! There’s no reference to the song because, he’s singing a completely different song so, why would he have to do that to please you? Duh, learn to use your common sense!
Forgot Homer and Jethro, Stan Freberg, and some others from 40 years ago are sure to burst your sides laughing 😃 so hard ! If TH-cam can find them and post these gems, you'll be howling and rolling on the floor.
@@bethanysmith5856 I love the ending. The nurse lady eats the chili makes a face like "enh tastes fine to me" and walks off. :D But that's how it goes. People who like hot peppers just devour things flavored with them, and people who don't like them scream in pain at a single taste.
If I ever judged one of these, they'd probably look at me like I had lost my mind. "Sure I'll judge your chili cook off. Just make sure there's a gallon of milk and something to drink it out of." That stuff has some serious heat and (for me, at least) the only thing that kills the fire is milk.
Being from the Great State of Texas, I love Texas chili. But residing in Tennessee, good chili is HARD to find. Thanks Ray for another really good song.
But to be fair, some of your chili in Texas would tear the face off of a mere mortal, lol. He's not wrong about that, some of the best I've ever tasted.
Another great work by Ray Stevens - right up there with "It's Me Again Margaret", and the "Haircut Song." I love the steel guitar work too! reminds me of Blue Cyclone more
I grew up in Texas. Several decades ago I went to the Czech festival in a little town called West. West is located south of Dallas-Fort Worth, in central Texas. They were having a chili cookoff, and each team entry had a snappy name for their concoction. I took a few samples but passed on the one called Goat's Head Chili because I was full. Not ten minutes later as I stood at another booth I turned around to see the GHC team lifting something out of their cooking pot. It was a goat's head. That NEARLY put me off chili altogether.
LOVE IT. Nailed it, too LOL. I learned from my dad (C.V. Wood bought from him) who learned from his uncle, who learned from his dad who served it first in 1911. Still being made today. Dad judged cook-offs since early 80's and I went to a lot of fun ones. The worse thing is to come upon a cook-off and everyone is just doing their thing and being quiet with no decorated booths at all. Your spirt warms my soul.
my father was a canadian and my mother a good old cali fire belly so my dad made chili that ate the bottom out of the pot great song reminded me of it keep em coming yall
omg Ray this is good and funny . i love it. my very close friend and i are from Texas and we love jalapenos, tabasco and all those things ... Ty again xxxx love you Ray always n forever .. Ty for so many funny songs
Haha this is hilarious we have a chili cook off at my church and I'm in Tx and I remember the first cook off i brought a pot of my 9 alarm and it made a few tear up a bit..and I was asked what I call my chilli i go it's my Death Valley Chili 😂..my pastors wife laughed her butt off when i played this song for her

Finally, something on my TH-cam recommendations that's actually worth watching
if you can sit thru Ray Stevens stuff and not get at least a grin, your not human, that's all
I can say, cause the man is by far the funniest songwriter ever!
The best part is some songs have happened you can still find the news articles for them in the states
You are so right. I ride around with his CDs on my truck, and keeps me smiling even when traffic gets horrible. Ray Stevens is a treasure!!
@@Connie1Fan Whom, What Why, are these CDs you speak of?

Ray Stevens
@dshocklee I guess I better not bring up the fact I have Ray Stevens on cassettes. Yes, I am of the age of cassettes. LOL
Ray keeps finding humor in everyday life. What a talented songwriter.
Ray has earned a seat in heaven, for all the joy and mirth his songs have engendered over the years... How could anyone not want him in the Country music hall of fame...
Ray is a national treasure.
There is absolutely no one like Ray Stevens. Not every thing he did was funny. "Everything Is Beautiful" is a great song.
Ray Stevens is the epitome of patriocity, comedy, and is a genius. He had his first hit
when I was in high school, and I've loved him ever since. But the patriotic songs really
grab me by the heart. Thanks, Ray! I'm on Broadjam but I will never be able to compare to Ray.
He ain't lying
Ray Stevens may be getting older, but his wits are still intact! Keep up the good work, buddy! We love you!

Ray Stephen's the best rapper out there
Ray Stevens, Jim Stafford, and Mary Jane means a great night. Folk/ country comedy is pure genius
I've always loved Ray Steven's music. So much fun. I remember when The Streak came out, 2 guys streaked down the street in front of the local radio station in Auburn, Maine.
Ray is a class act ! Thanks for all the laughs !
His songwriting is so good--he doesn't go the obvious routes or choose predictable rhymes. Thank you Ray for entertaining me my entire life
I love ray Stevens sings, they never fail to make me smile

Mr. Ray Stevens, they say laughter is the best medicine. You are the main doctor! Oh and Clyde told me to tell you hi! Love you man
Mr Stevens... My Love, you have ALWAYS delighted.. ( no ref to the mississippi squirell forward ))

Southern Rebel we make chili for taste here, not for calling the fire department for a mouth fire 😂😂
Have any recipes
I like it hot, but most don't
@Redrum Just do not ever ask a Texan to put beans in chili
But to be fair, some of your chili in Texas would tear the face off of a mere mortal, lol. He's not wrong about that, some of the best I've ever tasted.

He's still alive
I'm well aware.
Its like hearing a funny story from your grandpa
Another great work by Ray Stevens - right up there with "It's Me Again Margaret", and the "Haircut Song." I love the steel guitar work too!
