It’s 2024 now and when kris passed I realized that we have lost so many of the great outlaw country time period. I was fortunate to have grew up in one of the best time periods for music and movies.
POZED! This video is typical poz from the era. I just thank god that cable was not available in my city when this song was out as I was 15 and impressionable at that time.. Music videos completely destroyed music in the 80s. Some of the worst music became big hits because of the videos. Aha Take on Me is one of them.
+Blake Hulsey - There's a lot of great country music out there today, it just isn't played on the radio. Give Sturgill Simpson, Whitey Morgan, Hellbound Glory, Turnpike Troubadours, and Cody Johnson Band a chance.
I remember that too!!! It was a fun party with Oak Ridge Boys, Little Jimmy, Possum, Willie, Waylon, Kris, Cheech & Chong, Jim Varney, Porter, Mel Tillis, babes, beer music, even got Grandpa!!!!
A long long time ago, 73 or 74, Mr Williams, you and your band bought two cases of candy Easter Eggs from me (i was 8 years old) at Peggy's Chicken Shack in Bear, Delaware. Y'all had just finished playing at the Triple Nickel Saloon. I never got the chance to thank you properly...I won my schools top prize of a 10 speed bicycle. I've been a country music zealot since I was three. The truckers named me "Little Angel". I sure miss those days. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️❤️ for the music and your generosity. 😊😊😊❤❤
This song was the basis of sound for the Monday Night Football Theme. The MNF theme just absolutes wreaks pure of this song. Damn travesty it was pulled. I don't give a flying *F* how old Hank's MNF song was...it always got me so damned fired up throughout all the years for Monday Night Prime Time Football! ✌️😎🤘🍺🏈🍖🍗🥩🇺🇸
If Hank only knew how many times he was the main part of our parties! Still love you man! Thanks for all the memories! Nobody can or will ever take your place!
When you really think about it...this man not only carried his father's legacy he carried it to the fire and kept runnin' God bless ol' Hank Jr he's a dime a dozen. Just a good ol' boy.
I remember Hank, my daddy always had the radio on in the car or home, they'd be playing Hank, back right after WWII in the 40's, I grew up on Hank's music.
Been a Hank Jr. fan forever...but it never stops amazing me where Paul Williams shows up in the world of music...definitely a lifetime member of the cool club.
Paul's brother Mentor Williams wrote Dobie Gray's hit Drift Away. Paul is now President of ASCAP...and he also wrote some of the best songs ever for many famous people.
@alishataylor6017 Paul is the guy calling Hank at the beginning of the video. He's also helping Little Jimmy Dickens carry a keg of beer later. Actor, singer, songwriter, legend.
The story behind George Jones on the lawnmower is that his car got taken away because he had a drinking problem so he drove his mower to the liquor store
I was 23 when this song came out. I was wild and crazy. Now I'm 63. Now I'm just crazy. A wife will do that to you. But I had a hell of a ride. Right up until I got married. Stayfree young men.
Hank Jr's music was birthed as a merger between traditional country, Southern rock and blues. He was a rebel in his early days. Listen to Family Tradition. I see old Lil Jimmy Dickens in there and Hank Sr driving the ghost car at the end. Great video. Never saw it before.
video was a parody to what really happened in the good old days.when George was at the peak of his off stage performances Tammy hide the keys to his car,she forgot about the tractor George went to town on the damn thing only George could pull something like that off !!!!!!!!!!
I love videos like this when the artist includes so many other artists. An opportunity to see some of the legends who have passed on having a good time while they were here. Awesome video!
There is not one song BETTER then this one to take me straight back to being a kid,mixing drinks for my mom an dads friends and running around the big ass bonfire in the back yard. My dad'd put the speakers in the kitchen window,facing the back yard and,it was on!!! BEST CHILDHOOD EVER!!!
My husband every party we ever had in the 32 yrs we we're married bfor he passed away played this song n just wanted to say thank you so much Hank for sayn how it really is n I'm drunk rite now celebrating my husband's 7th yr of passing n I miss him terribly n ur helping make it easier listening to u love u man ty😢
If my memory is correct, the keyboard crackerjack ( describing someone highly skilled & accomplished) is John Jarvis; certainly amongst the summit shelf sidemen.
George Jones, George Thorogood, William Lee Golden, Paul Williams, Junior Samples, Jim Varney, Willie Nelson, Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Waylon Jennings, Jimmy Dickens, Ernest Tubb..... YIKES!
Should have had Bo & Luke & Coy & Vance at the festivities together with Ben Jones aka Cooter as well as Enos and Cletus and Rosco and Boss Hogg, not to mention Orly County’s very own Sheriff Lobo.
Man how I miss these days. Jr. Blasting on the stereo and partying all night. I had SO MANY GOOD TIMES AND THEY WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT MEMORIES !!! 🍺 🍺 🍺
Now we are talking.....always heard Hank knew how to party...heard back in the day he loved the opry house in Walnut Grove in Spartanburg years ago.... good ole southern boy who never forgot his roots
The video features artists such as George Jones on a riding mower, Willie Nelson, Mel Tillis, Kris Kristofferson, Cheech and Chong, Waylon Jennings, Porter Wagoner, Little Jimmy Dickens, Jim Varney, George Thorogood, Paul Williams and several other celebrities in a party thrown by Hank Williams, Jr. At the end of the video, a ghost Cadillac flies into the night sky, referencing the fact that his father, Hank Williams, Sr., died while riding in a Cadillac.
Ever since I can remember.. My dad would invite his rowdy friends over to watch the Packers play and let me tell you they were very rowdy especially when Brett Favre scored a touchdown. But now as of today they have all settled down now.

Imagine throwing a party so lit that the ghost of Hank SR pulls up.
Hank SR: Got any beer?
Jr: Yeah we have bee- dad?
Which I think was played by hank's boy hank's the 3rd. He looked like grandpa.
in his hot rod ford
Everybody loved Hank Williams Senior so his son follow along pretty dang good
Shit I had parities so lit Hendrix,Morrison,and Ole Hank were there and then Sam Kinison showed up to close the show!
Jim Varney, Cheech and Chong, Kris Kristopherson, Waylon, Willie, damn this party is rockin’!!
🔥🤘
Jim is a Kentucky treasure and we miss him terribly
George Thoroughgood (I think that's how it's spelled)
and George Jones...He loved to party too.
Right on up there with Bill Monroe.

This will go down in history as the greatest music video of all time.
Though it's pretty sad seeing how many of the greats we've lost since then.
Interesting, Thriller is the greatest video ever made. This video is probably the best in acameo category.

Seen it a hundred times, but this was the first time I'd noticed Dickey Betts and George Thorogood on the bandstand. Rockin'!
Yeah and Cheech and Chong comes out of the limo lol
Should have had William Conrad there as well as Mike Connors.
I never noticed that was Dickey till I read your comment R.I.P.

This age of country music will always be my favorite. You know these guys have a hell of a lot of stories between all of them.
Probably like motley crue debauchery but with country instead so you don't hear it as much
There’s nothing no better than a huge bonfire, some ice cold beer, and rowdy friends having a damn good time. 💕💕❤️❤️
Just not to that song.
This is fantastic. I can't believe it's my first time seeing it. Man oh man, CASH really needed to be in this one.
Cash had pretty much derowdyied by the time this came along lol
P
If you never noticed here’s a fun fact the this is at cash’s house… well some of it
And why wasn’t he? Waylon Willie George and earnest
This was filmed at Johnny Cash’s lake house
I wish that today's county was still like this

Ain't that the truth!!! (country+rap=CRAP)
@@spormlastname267 I was thinking that myself! Don’t forget sturgil Simpson
“I don’t know if I was or not; I was drunk!” - Merle Haggard, when asked if he was in this video. Classic response!!!
Love Haggard

That's a load of good ol' country souls right there. RIP to those that are no longer with us. You're all missed.
Nice comment.
How are you Gina D?
@@tommycalvin6347ciao Tommy! 😊😍😘💘❤️
This is a song from when Men were Men and Women were Women.. God Bless Hank Williams, Jr.
Never going back man accept it lol
Remember when we put this on my answering machine before our parties, best time of my life. Miss you Son
What a National Anthem for all of us, Remember Monday Night Football.....
Too bad they pulled that off.Hank said what he thought too much for some I guess. He loves his Football and the Steelers.
This song was the basis of sound for the Monday Night Football Theme. The MNF theme just absolutes wreaks pure of this song. Damn travesty it was pulled.
I don't give a flying *F* how old Hank's MNF song was...it always got me so damned fired up throughout all the years for Monday Night Prime Time Football! ✌️😎🤘🍺🏈🍖🍗🥩🇺🇸
Ohhh that lifted square body is just a gem 💎
A man of culture

When you really think about it...this man not only carried his father's legacy he carried it to the fire and kept runnin' God bless ol' Hank Jr he's a dime a dozen. Just a good ol' boy.
There will never be another Hank Williams Sr. or a David Alan Coe 💯 %
THIS BY FAR IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN VIDEOS OF THAT ERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this was when the music video was young. We made it an event!!!
All time!
Yep, and it was an lost 80's hit country song from '84! :)
I would say forever rather then era. It has so many cool ppl this and young country video looks so fun
back when country music was real country music and they didn't just let anybody with a voice jump on stage and sing. man how i miss the good ole days
This video was recently voted "The #1 Country Video of All Time" by CMT. Bocephus has 3 in the top ten on that list.
LT1HILLINGHOE
And he is still not in the country music hall of fame. Damn shame how they treat him.
@@coltonswindell689 yeah his induction into hall of fame was way overdue. We knew he was getting in eventually.
.
Is that true? Gonna have to look that up.
The national anthem of southern style parties and good times.
Yes, Hank. Yes, I do.
Bocephus waving goodbye to his daddy Luke the drifter in the end. That was so cool.
I'm pretty sure that any video that features George Jones on a riding mower qualifies as the best music video of all time!
He got around alot on that old thing drunk.
Vince Gill later asked George to spoof that incident again for the video for Vince's song "One more last chance." George happily obliged him.
This was all shot at Johnny and June Cash's lake house, just so you know.
dare2dream4ever cool
I used to live about 10 miles from there it's in Hendersonville Tennessee
Thanks for info brother
He made a fortune off this song as relates to Monday night football
They must’ve been inside. I always wondered why Johnny Cash wasn’t in this video🧐
Hank Williams is great he is my favorite singer.
I remember Hank, my daddy always had the radio on in the car or home, they'd be playing Hank, back right after WWII in the 40's, I grew up on Hank's music.
Been a Hank Jr. fan forever...but it never stops amazing me where Paul Williams shows up in the world of music...definitely a lifetime member of the cool club.
whitewitchoz Paul
Williams ? Is he a singer?
Paul's brother Mentor Williams wrote Dobie Gray's hit Drift Away. Paul is now President of ASCAP...and he also wrote some of the best songs ever for many famous people.
@@alishataylor6017 he's a singer, a songwriter and an actor. For country fans, most notably Little Ennis Burdette in Smokey and the Bandit.
@@rockinredneck57 oh ok cool
@alishataylor6017 Paul is the guy calling Hank at the beginning of the video. He's also helping Little Jimmy Dickens carry a keg of beer later. Actor, singer, songwriter, legend.
I remember when this was on regular rotation on CMT...even saw in on MTV a few times. When MTV was worth a f**k....
I bet MTV would ban it today because of the Confederate flag, that is, if they still played music videos today.
YOU AIN'T WORTH A FUCK NEITHER!!!
Fuck yeah hank was the undisputed king of country for 2 decades and he still kicks ass!!!
MTV is trash and as been for a long time. Ain't worth a fuk, your right.
The story behind George Jones on the lawnmower is that his car got taken away because he had a drinking problem so he drove his mower to the liquor store

One of my favorite videos. Only Hank could do it!!
Thank you so much for the love and support always. So tell me, which city are you replying this comment from?
I just heard the song yesterday for my first time ever.. and I can't stop blasting it!
Same
God damn right I love it ain't nothing going to match it
Questo video e molto divertente! 😂😍😍🎶🎸🎶💘❤️
this has got to be the best country music video of all time
That would be a AWESOME party!
one of the best videos ever
Hank Jr's music was birthed as a merger between traditional country, Southern rock and blues. He was a rebel in his early days. Listen to Family Tradition. I see old Lil Jimmy Dickens in there and Hank Sr driving the ghost car at the end. Great video. Never saw it before.
His face when the women walk in cracks me up every time 😂😂😂
Smitty who notices his face when those girls walk through the door though?
Same here 😆 He's such a ham.
I know his face is so cheesy yet just right and funny
Hank has always been my favorite country singer he is the very best of all time since 1974
George Jones showing up on his tractor...CLASSIC !
+Rick OBrien Only something the possum could pull off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck would that have been a party too have been invited too!!!!!!!!!!!

OK
+Marika Crockett Damn...Vince Gill is actually older than ME ! I'm eating crow right now, Marika!
That scene where his father is driving the cadillac and waving at Hank jr and the crowd, looks like Sr. is giving his approval to his son's music!
Turn it up! All the way UP
I love videos like this when the artist includes so many other artists. An opportunity to see some of the legends who have passed on having a good time while they were here. Awesome video!
ALWAYS A GOOD TIME
The MNF theme song for years. America knows a great song and good times. Rowdy friends, good times, party, football and Hank. Hell ya!
then liberals came along and f'd up monday night football by leting him go.
haven't watched an nfl game since. and now with them celebrating the likes of kaepershit screw the nfl.
Who's listening to this in 2021? Best memories in these songs!
There is not one song BETTER then this one to take me straight back to being a kid,mixing drinks for my mom an dads friends and running around the big ass bonfire in the back yard. My dad'd put the speakers in the kitchen window,facing the back yard and,it was on!!! BEST CHILDHOOD EVER!!!

I’d love a metal version of this
I hope Hank Williams JR children carry on the family tradition of their Dad and their Grandpa. Such great country legends gone but never forgotten 😞
Google Hank 3
Man how I miss these days. Jr. Blasting on the stereo and partying all night. I had SO MANY GOOD TIMES AND THEY WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT MEMORIES !!! 🍺 🍺 🍺
I was sobered before this song, now I'm hammered after it
during my "country boy" work-out sessions, hank was there & so was this song & some "wild turkey 101!! great times.
Think he meant your mom....
Hello how are you
It's good to see all of those legends from my youth in one video.
LOVE THEM ALL!
I wish they still made music like this
Never recognized that was supposed to be his dad at the end. Thats cool
Meanwhile, Where the CAT, live permatly, as Lapdog!!!'"
This song keeps us alive while doing very very reckless, dangerous activities. You don’t want this song on a motorcycle or quad.
Hes so cool. Just a hardcore bad ass that knows how to have fun.
RIP Jr, George, Jim V, Grandpa, Waylon and Kilgore.
Winston Tucker been more in one years pass partner
Rip Jim Varney (1:17)
Porter has died since then. So has Little Jimmy Dickens. I'll have to watch the video to see if that's all. Add Mel Tillis to the list.
It’s 2018 and I’m still watching this. True country music.
It’s 2021 and I’m still watching!!
Now we are talking.....always heard Hank knew how to party...heard back in the day he loved the opry house in Walnut Grove in Spartanburg years ago.... good ole southern boy who never forgot his roots
Amen to the VHS tape and the person who recorded this!🇺🇸
Love this song! Dumb question but was that George Thorogood at 1:43?
How else came back to this song during covid-19
Fabulous song by Hank Williams Jr.
This is a cool music video
A ton of my favorite singers

Wow! That was amazing. I've never seen this video. National treasure.
Awesome song. Who agrees?
heck yeah
i agree god help me i love hank williams j.r and it sounds like the theme to a.b.c,s monday night football
I saw Hank Jr. in June 1982. Great entertainer. Yes, this song became the MNF theme song and made him lots of $$$$$
TheVideoGamer64 I agree!!
I would rather party and drink with kid rock.
Classic Country song. One of the best country songs ever
Country boy can survive
@@randolphwilliams4885 That is also a good song.
Love Love Love this song real country music!!!! The good stuff!!!
I went Hank Williams Jr concert in Raleigh North Carolina. He has still got it was one great show.
The glorious 80's!

when i saw Varney i pumped my fist. Aint nothin like a little Ernest P Worl am I right? Lol
Bobby bare as well
Slayer Hippy hank jr was a pimp in music industry
They invited Merle Haggard but he said he was drunk. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Grassyknolldallas Correction... IS a pimp.
IMO one of the best music videos ever made. Remember when it was new.
The fact that George Jones shows up on a riding lawnmower brings the quality of this video up to a million
George Jones had a house not far from me here in Bama. He was as rowdy IRL as advertised.
Well how else was he gonna get there, with Tammy done throwed all the car keys into the back lot?
@@professornuke7562 Yep. After George lost his driver's license, following something like his SIXTH DWI in a row...
Within the limitations of “HEE-HAW”.
Congratulations Hank induction in to the country music Hall of Fame it's a about time
2:54 The Day Hank Jr Passes On His Daddy Gonna Come Pick Em Up Like That To Rest In Paradise 👍🏽
Seen him at 16, Legend Valley in Ohio. My life was never the same!
Brian C it's Monday night football
Legend Valley, the early years were amazing.
I don't think there was a choreographed video taking place here. Hank Jr. just invited a few close friends over and a camera crew happened to stop by.
Video is loaded with famous country stars❤
AND studio musicians who should have been justifiably famous. Known but for their names on various record album covers.
They need to remaster the video. So many LEGENDS and a great song.
I came her cause my Dad is addicted to this kind of music he plays it 200 billion times a day idk why
Ever since I can remember.. My dad would invite his rowdy friends over to watch the Packers play and let me tell you they were very rowdy especially when Brett Favre scored a touchdown. But now as of today they have all settled down now.
Theres a song for that too ;)
