My dad used to sing this to us kids back in the 60’s!!! He would laugh all the way through the dang song... Instead of it only taking a couple of minutes, it took him about 10 minutes to finally get through the whole song!!! After finally finishing the song, he couldn’t stop laughing for another 10 minutes!!! He used to sing the most corny songs to us!!! Another one of his favorites was “There’s A Hole In The Bottom Of The Sea”!!! Those were the good old days!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I used to listen to this song with my dad on the way to the lake to go fishing that was 20 years ago and now he’s is no longer with us so I listen to this when I miss him
I can listen to Ray Stevens all day long. Whenever I would drive from Bremerton to visit my Father in Southern Oregon, he always had the videos ready. I think he was a bigger fan since he acquired all "Raymond Stevens" items before I did. Very, very, very good here.
In my family, there have been three generations that married across between both my parent’s families. None were blood related, but this song has become my anthem! It’s really fun to tell people, my sister’s my cousin, my cousin’s my uncle, my mother’s my aunt and my father’s my uncle. (And that doesn’t even count the cousin’s = who are nephews or nieces.). Then walk away and let them try to figure it out! 😂😂😂
And when I finally started coping with the state I'm in, I suddenly realized what does that also mean: by being my very own grandparent I'm almost going mad, see I'm the grandpa of my grandpa: I'm my great-great-granddad!
(attempted revision) In case you're not confused yet, here's another sight unseen The other day it dawned on me what all of this could mean I know I'm my own grandpa, but I'm almost going mad 'Cause as grandpa of my grandpa, I'm my own great-great-grandad!
Dang living in Jamaica..just heard this amazing song on the radio,,just have to check ...sir you are a genius and funny as hell😀❤️ can't wait till my mom wake got to let she hear this ..but for sure I will be singing i'm own grandpa ..
The one thing that I have always liked about Ray Stevens' songs is that there was always a story being told. There are his well-known songs such as Mississippi Squirrel Revival, Guitarzan, It's Me Again, Margaret, and I Saw Elvis in a UFO. But then a few of my favorites might be lesser known. For example, Blue Cyclone, The Story of Old Blue, Power Tools, Little League, and there is one song, I have forgotten the title of, where he and his wife go to this church in the back woods, and during the ceremony, rattlesnakes are released.
I kid you not! My step dads mother married my mothers Grandfather, as a second marriage. He had two daughters and when my mothers Grandfather married, they became my stepdads stepsisters. So when my step dad married my mother, his stepsister became his mother in law. There was no blood relationship at all but it gave my mother and stepdad something to twist company’s minds around and it was always a mind bender that would get a lot of laughs. Then they always joked and referred to this song. Years ago I did find a cassette tape of Gandpaw Jones from the Hee-Haw show. Still got the tape somewhere.
I have a similar situation. Three generations have married across my biological parent’s families. Also, no blood relations. It is a LOT of fun to tell people the crazy relationships without explaining. Then nonchalantly walk away! 😂
There should be a parody of this about him being his own grandpa, but for a different reason. It would be called "I'm My Own Grandpa (Freaky Friday Version)".
So basically almost just like dimensional time travel after enlightenment is reached... That's exactly what I already knew was fixin to happen. Thanks for helpin me out with this.
I've been a Ray Stevens fan ever since I first heard "Jeramiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant Tasting Green and Purple Pills" back in 1961 :-)
In the movie 'Renaissance Man' starting Danny DiVido, a soldier is talking about how his uncle married his mother. Their daughter, his cousin is also his half sister. I commend Ray on being able to tell/sing this without losing track or busting up. Ray's music is guaranteed to make you smile. He has something for everyone.
That he does. I was surprised a few years ago by a friend of mine that he knew Ray Stevens and his songs. This friend did not seem to be the type that would like that sort of thing, but when I found it he did u was so glad because I had a kindred spirit at school that was not a sibling or an adult.
This was great!! My son's introduced this song to me through the movie, The Stupids, and our oldest memorized the whole thing. It was done at a tempo that left me behind so this is much better. Perhaps I'll be able to figure out the relationship intricacies if I listen enough times. 😅
THIS. MAN. IS A. GENIUS HES TALENTED HAS A GREAT VOICE HIS SONGS MAKES US LAUGH AND ALLOWS TO EASE THE PAIN FROM EVERY DAY STRESS I. LIKE BACK IN THE DOGHOUSE AGAIN PLUS THE. STREAK AND I. HAVE DONE SOME STREAKING IT .STARTED IN 1978 AGE 18 BUT NO MORE IT FEELS GOOD YES RAY IS THE KING OF COMEDY GOD BLESS HIM
I've heard so many version with the chorus at the beginning, in the middle and at the end. But I love it this way with the punchline after the whole family tree.
I love Ray Steven’s because of my Dad. My dad went to be with the Lord December 2 2016. I found this song recently because my boyfriend posted it on Facebook. I cracked up laughing. Well gives a new and not sickening meaning to the phrase Birthing Person
This is all you need to make sense of it, the rest will make sense after you under stand there is no incest it's how he tells the story on how he became his own grandpa. Now, many many years ago When I was twenty three I was married to a widow Who was pretty as could be This widow had a grown-up daughter Had hair of red My father fell in love with her And soon the two were wed This made my dad my son-in-law And changed my very life My daughter was my mother 'Cause she was my father's wife.
Exactly it's amazing how many people don't realize that. It's just how he tells the story on how he became his own grandpa that makes it sound like it 😂
Lonzo and Oscar recorded it in the 1940s... Grandpa Jones did a version of it, too, and so did other performers known for their comical/novelty material. Ray's recording of it is on his 1987 album titled Crackin' Up.
I grew up listening to Ray Stevens records...my grandparent's had the cassette tape of Crackin' Up and several other Ray Stevens albums from the mid '80s time period. I was 10 years old going on 11 when that 1987 album was released. This performance from CabaRay Nashville is the only time I'd seen Ray sing this song on television. I don't know if he ever sang it on 'Nashville Now' or 'Hee Haw' back in the mid '80s or not.
Car trips in the 80s and 90s as a kid were when I was introduced to Ray's music! My dad and I still howl over Hugo the Human Cannonball, and Blue Cyclone. 😄
My grandfathers father married his brothers step daughter and had 4 children(and I get lost from there) ,and my aunts oldest daughter married my great great grandmother’s cousins grandson…I get completely and udderly ferhoodled after that apparently this happens more often then people realize 😅😅😅
I can kinda relate to this. I've got two blood cousins to me but not each other that are married. The girls mama married mine and the girls husbands cousin which made them two 1st cousin and father/son in law. Plus I had a 3rd cousin/ uncle in there at one time till he passed. If you can unjumble all that you're good.
So all you got to do to be your own Grandpa is marry a woman with a older child, get your dad to marry that child/women you have a child by your wife and your dad has a child by his wife that simple😂🎉
I didn't think about this until now. (almost 35 years after I first heard the song) but how would his actual mother feel about this? (if she was still alive when all this happened, which, since he was only 23 yeas old, I'm guessing she was) Maybe the widow also had a grownup son, and they got married.

The fact he can do that without being confused is amazing, because I got lost pretty quick, lol.
His father married his daughter, effectively creating a descendency loop, making every person in the line (not only the singer) their own grandparent.
I try not to think about it to hard.
I got three words for you Tim. Practice, practice, practice...
There are faster versions of this song.
He lost me soon as he walked on stage 😂
This is hilarious. My high school biology teacher played this in class for us.
You need to do a double take and realise that there is no incest involved here 🤣
Bro same
Here's hoping you at least got a C.
My dad used to sing this to us kids back in the 60’s!!!
He would laugh all the way through the dang song...
Instead of it only taking a couple of minutes, it took him about 10 minutes to finally get through the whole song!!!
After finally finishing the song, he couldn’t stop laughing for another 10 minutes!!!
He used to sing the most corny songs to us!!!
Another one of his favorites was “There’s A Hole In The Bottom Of The Sea”!!!
Those were the good old days!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That sounds like a really precious memory 😊💚
Never heard of theres a hole in the bottom of the sea... just looked it up. I love the faces they were making. 🤣🤣
Good old song.
I'm laughing hard reading through your comment. I can imagine how jolly your pa was
My grandpa loved Ray Stevens I was raised on his music.
I used to listen to this song with my dad on the way to the lake to go fishing that was 20 years ago and now he’s is no longer with us so I listen to this when I miss him
Rest in peace god bless
I’m seriously amazed that this is a real song.
I remember when I first heard this song as a kid. It was on the movie "The Stupids." I was singing it all the time as a kid. What memories!
This guy is a national treasure.
Isn’t this the cutest scenario? I love it. It’s funny, confusing, and so very entertaining as Ray Stevens always is. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Granddaddy incest with his little granddaughter? Yes really cute 💀💀
I can listen to Ray Stevens all day long. Whenever I would drive from Bremerton to visit my Father in Southern Oregon, he always had the videos ready. I think he was a bigger fan since he acquired all "Raymond Stevens" items before I did. Very, very, very good here.
I love Ray Stevens. His songs have been making me laugh for decades. Now my son follows him.
Its not HIS song. Its a REALLY old song written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe in 1947 well before Ray Stevens did novelty songs.
This is similar to my dad's grandfather who married a widow with 5 kids, she died, he married the oldest daughter and adopted the other 4 kids.
We need more smiles in our lives
If you analyze the relationships carefully, every character in the story is their own grandparent.🤯
And therefore they become their own great-great grandparents, their own great-great-great-great grandparents, etc.
In my family, there have been three generations that married across between both my parent’s families. None were blood related, but this song has become my anthem! It’s really fun to tell people, my sister’s my cousin, my cousin’s my uncle, my mother’s my aunt and my father’s my uncle. (And that doesn’t even count the cousin’s = who are nephews or nieces.). Then walk away and let them try to figure it out! 😂😂😂
😆🤣😆🤣🤣
😄😆😹😹😹
I just peed my pants!! You are the most awesome and funny person ever!!
@@tadspencer4852
Tad, I’m truly sorry about your pants, but thank you for your awesome comment.! You just made my day! 😂
You say none were blood related, but why do I just hear banjo music reading your comment? XD
Love him for life....
Love from Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
And when I finally started coping with the state I'm in,
I suddenly realized what does that also mean:
by being my very own grandparent I'm almost going mad,
see I'm the grandpa of my grandpa: I'm my great-great-granddad!
A pretty good extra verse except for trying to rhyme “in” with “mean”. That doesn’t work.
@@christianmarshal6117 Eh, fair enough. I did my best.
(attempted revision)
In case you're not confused yet, here's another sight unseen
The other day it dawned on me what all of this could mean
I know I'm my own grandpa, but I'm almost going mad
'Cause as grandpa of my grandpa, I'm my own great-great-grandad!
Only Ray Stevens could come up with this song. He's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣.
@Carla Austin: "I'm My Own Grandpa", was originally released in 1947 by Lonzo & Oscar.
This is the first time I'm hearing this, Ray Stevens is such a great story teller! You always walk away with a smile on your face!
Love the song
Always enjoy Ray Stevens. My father used to sing this song.
How does one deal with being their own grandpa? Thats so weird.
Dang living in Jamaica..just heard this amazing song on the radio,,just have to check ...sir you are a genius and funny as hell😀❤️ can't wait till my mom wake got to let she hear this ..but for sure I will be singing i'm own grandpa ..
Classic Ray Stevens. God bless you!!!

If you really want to be confused, listen to this after about three margaritas :)
@@thewaywardwind548 darling, I'm confused listening to this SOBER 🤣🤣
That hurts my brain
Ray Stevens knows who he is,
he's his own Grandpa.
(LoLoud, can you believe it!?!)
☕👍👍 too cool ...
Just like fine wine, Ray gets better with age.
Ray you've done it again with your funny songs..
There should be a parody of this about him being his own grandpa, but for a different reason.
It would be called "I'm My Own Grandpa (Freaky Friday Version)".
I'm never able to follow the particulars but have always liked this song.
So basically almost just like dimensional time travel after enlightenment is reached... That's exactly what I already knew was fixin to happen.
Thanks for helpin me out with this.
I've been a Ray Stevens fan ever since I first heard "Jeramiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant Tasting Green and Purple Pills" back in 1961 :-)
I have tickets to the CabaRay for July 11. So exited!!! Got VIP seating up near the stage. So looking forward to it
🤗🤗"CONGRATULATIONS 🤗🤗
Wear a mask!
His show was canceled from March to October 1, 2020, due to Covid-19. It appears, that the VIP night he was looking forward to, never happened.
Almost choked on my coffee 🤣🤣🤣

Killer, as always! 🙌
Thank you 😊

This is all you need to make sense of it, the rest will make sense after you under stand there is no incest it's how he tells the story on how he became his own grandpa.
Now, many many years ago
When I was twenty three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
My daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife.
Love Ray Stevens cover of this.
I would love to met Ray!!!
I have to laugh every time I hear this song !
the funniest and most impressive thing at the same time. Is he became his own grandpa without any real incest.
Exactly it's amazing how many people don't realize that. It's just how he tells the story on how he became his own grandpa that makes it sound like it 😂
Oy Veh !!!❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😅😅😅 My Husband's favorite song 🎵 ❤️ 💕 💓
This is my favorite ray stevens song and now i hear him sing it in modern day
This song make my day anytime
Oh my my my! Smiles 😊
But how many songs does Ray Stevens have alltogether? Funny stories very well performed. Good songs and telling a good story too. This man is a genius
Someone must have redone it again in the 60's or early 70's because I remember it!!!
Lonzo and Oscar recorded it in the 1940s... Grandpa Jones did a version of it, too, and so did other performers known for their comical/novelty material. Ray's recording of it is on his 1987 album titled Crackin' Up.
What a talent!!! Brick layer song is my favorite!!
Great entertainer
I’m having this at my funeral idc 😂
Arkansas residents live this song.
I love this song
The Bold and the Beautiful 😂😂
Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I found myself laughing 😄😄😄😄 such scene
i like this version
Talk about mixed families! 🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Backup voices nearly angelic
I first heard This song in the movie “the stupids”
CUTE SONG❤
CUTE SONG💀
Wait I'm getting a pen and paper... start over? Please. Lol
Very hilarious song
Always love this son very hilarious, 😀😀
My grandfathers father married his brothers step daughter and had 4 children(and I get lost from there) ,and my aunts oldest daughter married my great great grandmother’s cousins grandson…I get completely and udderly ferhoodled after that apparently this happens more often then people realize 😅😅😅
I haven't heard this one in years.
The human race.....what amazing things it can acheive
Funny song 😂😂
Very very good
Amazing
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
More kookiness!
This is very funny
For years I thought tom Arnold introduced this song in the movie The Stupids.
i have followed the steps, but what have I gained?
WOW ......LOL
I can kinda relate to this. I've got two blood cousins to me but not each other that are married. The girls mama married mine and the girls husbands cousin which made them two 1st cousin and father/son in law. Plus I had a 3rd cousin/ uncle in there at one time till he passed. If you can unjumble all that you're good.
Oh and also made the first husband and wife cousins when the mother of the girl married the other cousin. Now that's just all messed up.
Not helping at all. Now you make me more confused.
I wonder if this would be confusing when it comes to Mother's Day, and Father's Day.
So all you got to do to be your own Grandpa is marry a woman with a older child, get your dad to marry that child/women you have a child by your wife and your dad has a child by his wife that simple😂🎉
Says Mr. I'm my own grandpa.
Too funny.
❤️❤️❤️
Ray Stevens é uma lenda viva! 😂😂😂
Hilarious!
I have always and still do love Ray Stevens he's a awesome comedian songwriter singer
still got a great voice
I didn't think about this until now. (almost 35 years after I first heard the song) but how would his actual mother feel about this? (if she was still alive when all this happened, which, since he was only 23 yeas old, I'm guessing she was)
Maybe the widow also had a grownup son, and they got married.
This is one of my favorites from Ray Stevens,and I love it! Yeah,it's very confusing,but it's funny.
Interbread song. Reminds me of an old movie where everyone in the towns last name was the same
"money money money"
-Mr.Krabs
Just as good as Homer and Jethro.
I made a mistake. It was Lonzo and Oscar. Released 1947.
Issent that a normal family in Alabama 😂
