Jim Stafford & Dolly Parton Sing Spiders & Snakes Branson

[@cjean49]

Watching this in October 2022 and loving it!! They're so cute together! I just turned 73 and sure miss the old time shows like this.

[@andreadeamon6419]

I just turned 57 and i nuts these shows so much. Thankfully we have KZbin

[@matthewwilson9656]

This song takes me back to 1974. I was 12. It was one of my favorites. It still makes me smile

[@CONCERTMANchicago]

_Vertical smile as long as a mile_

[@flickchick8262]

This is from Dolly's show in 1976, for anyone who cares. It's adorable!

[@mikthe2004]

Yeah, I was 13 when this song came out. I liked it then, and for some reason it popped in my head the other day. Great lyrics. Great tune.

[@bodarville2510]

I care! Thanks for posting!

[@brendalg4]

Don't know why they keep labeling things as Branson when they aren't

[@cheryal2809]

Actually, Jim Stafford had his own T.V. show in 1976. This looks like it's from the Jim Stafford Show. (I used to watch it as a kid, it was a great variety show, kind of like The Sonny and Cher Show and The Flip Wilson Show.)

[@garycarpenter2980]

It's a really cute song it's funny 🤣

[@Slynsmiley]

How can you not raise a smile watching this?!

[@elkbowhntr]

I get angry. Remember... she's representing a child. Sounds like grooming to me. IN OUR FACES!!

[@MsSusanCunningham]

Dolly has The best laugh, she's awesome in every way possible!!!!

[@SnowyOwl61]

Still listening to this in 2024 at age 63...classics never end....they just better as they age...I would rather listen to the music from the 50s to the 70s Best music ever written....❤

[@brendamoody5064]

85 here and loving it.

[@BBQDad463]

DP is stunningly good at singing like a little girl. Amazing! This is a superb performance!

[@sxippydennison3577]

This performance is EVERYTHING!!!

[@1besieged]

This is cute and humorous .. glad we who grew up in this era did so,we are so lucky.

[@elkbowhntr]

We are lucky... except for this grooming part

[@AmandaPanda-nq1do]

Love it. Been singing this to my young wife all week. She never heard it ❤

[@jayleeper1512]

August 2024 and I am out fixing my shed and I started singing it to myself. Hadn’t heard it in years and found this on you tube. Made my day. Always loved Dolly and Jim was hitting it big at the time. This was on my car radio every day. Love to time travel.

[@TheMidnightModder]

Damn son, Jim got Excited towards the end xD God Bless America 🇺🇸

[@vigeo5]

So did I

[@borg386]

I've been a fan of Dolly and this song since I was a kid( 58 now), and I swear I've never seen this before. This is Kool Kool! you fool! You fool!

[@PrettyFly4aWi-Fi]

omg so priceless. i so loved this song from the day it was released, still got the 45 lol. Jim is so talented i cannot describe it.

[@mbrights3158]

Jim Stafford's silliness is adorable...and Dolly is well...so adorable. I love how they were just winging it. Sooo sweet!!!!! Miss those sweet times....

[@elkbowhntr]

They weren't winging it. Dolly was representing a child, and he got sexual with her and her back to him. The grooming was intentional. We were asleep.

[@jeffhoward553]

Two of greatest entertainers of all times

[@cathyt144]

2022 and this is still a great classic. ❤

[@paxmule]

Still is in 2023!

[@froglobster]

23 love it still !

[@campfirestories]

I always loved this song, especially when I was a young'un. Thanks, Jim!

[@Here0nMars]

I love this song! Dolly and Jim did a great job performing it. Very nice!

[@mst7806]

Dolly Parton is an INTERnational treasure.

[@alexaraenicole]

Love him...watcheď him in the 70's in Clearwater Fl. He was hysterical.

[@dave327ful]

There is electricity between Jim and Dolly, and it makes Spiders & Snakes romantic!

[@wizpopr]

This shows how funny and talented both of these folks are.

[@Connie1Fan]

I love Dolly... Always loved her voice, beautiful, kinda innocent but very flotatious, is that a word!! Jim is awsome!! Great times!!! Times where you could let the mind wonder and imagine... simple times!

[@neilant1]

Love it- thats what I call entertainment, good ole 70s style..

[@ankapleune]

An early morning bird I am and Dolly Parton makes me smile again

[@alanstrom2221]

Australian AM Radio played " I Don't Like Spiders & Snakes " by Jim Stafford on high rotation in 1973. I was only 12 yrs old and just thought it was a great song, I liked the music and thought the lyrics were very funny. Until today, I didn't know that Jim was a comedian. I thought he was a Country music star. Oh man he is hilarious first and then a musician. I am now a big fan of his comedy. I've checked out his many other You Tubes and the man is brilliant.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

This song was written by Jim & David Bellamy of the Bellamy Brothers in 1974, and became a top ten in both country & rock 100. 🎶👍

[@TempusFugit91]

She´s the cutest thing I´ve ever seen and she proves it again and again. She´s such a girly girl^^ So adorable and sooo beautiful!!!

[@PaulMcElveen]

I was born in the late fall of1978. I Love the Delightful, Extremely Funny, Extremely Intelligent, Extremely Kind, Extremely Talented, Very Witty, Very Pretty, Generous, Gracious, Humble Icon and Treasure Dolly Parton! I Love the Charming, Very Entertaining, Very Funny, Very Handsome, Very Intelligent, Very Witty, Singer Jim Stafford! I Love this Catchy, Classic, Clever, Fun Song! I Love These Awesome Performances and this Awesome Video!

[@sdushdiu]

This video takes an exceptional song to an even higher level! Dolly is perfect!

[@pascalmonier4642]

This is one video that is really and very fun. Thank you Jim and Thank you Dolly for this few minutes of pleasure.

[@elkbowhntr]

Thanks for the grooming. We were asleep back then.

[@yadaydada123]

omg that brought tears to my eyes! I forgot all about that song!!! This was so sweet, so cool we still have both of these artists with us!

[@rheaumepeter]

That Jim Stafford is one hell of a talented man just love him and imagine if he was your best friend and you get to hang out with him all the time what a trip it would be

[@popejames1943]

Just saw Dolly on Fox & Friends this morning Aug. 23, 2016 . Had to come back for a taste of one of my Favs . Jim always loved this song & adding Dolly made it that much more awesome . Makes me smile even when I`ve had the most crappy day . God Bless You Both !

[@SuperTiaBaby]

This is amazing Dolly Parton is so cute I love her to bits x

[@laurapoulsen276]

I absolutely love this. I miss all of these

[@keithwayne2902]

I was 10 yrs old when this song hit. I remember my parents playing it alot...love it

[@TimothyLove-m3x]

Just told my roommate I was 11 at this time.

[@561musicman]

What a classic!!! Love It!!!

[@indigogolf3051]

This is charming. I don't remember Dolly being so beautiful.

[@allenbooth7033]

kirvesmies: Where have you been since 1946?

[@brucegwynn8509]

It's that dress and thigh stockings, pow!!, burn it up

[@JonHeckendorf]

Jim, I have always loved your humor and your songs were great to listen to. I have only one regret and that is to never have seen you live somewhere. Thanks for posting.

[@georgeiron8399]

I think he still plays live 3 times a week in Branson MIssouri, its never too late!

[@BlyssfulButterfly30]

She is soooooo cute!

[@melodymoon900]

Ya her giggle

[@larryshackley8074]

I've never seen this version. Thanks for posting, Jim. I still remember your bits on the 70s Smothers Brothers show!

[@blitzmagazine5649]

It definitely works as a duet, nearly missed cues and all. Love it!

[@cindyh8017]

I remember watching this. What a hoot!❤😂❤😂

[@josorr]

Dolly has a talent for being adorable.

[@chromesthesia]

Aw spiders and snakes definetly have what it takes. Theyre so cute

[@CynthiaWertin]

Love this

[@bennbjbear]

Oh my laaaawd! The memories this clip has brought back. Mr Stafford...you are a genius. Okay, okay, maybe that's stretching it a bit.... but thanks for making me laugh and sing along..many, many times.

[@lendavoice60]

Dolly.is awesome

[@rebeccacaraska4112]

I miss the wholesome America. Innocent and sweet.

[@timmmmmmmmmmy1]

I recently found this looking for that song, and what a feel good it is.

[@Ecosse57]

dolly was/ is sooo beautiful. those dimples, eyes, smile... ... classic tune too! ;)

[@malcolmbrewer]

Great timing ad libbing this great song

[@klmullins65]

I remember in the 5th grade, around 1976-1977, when this song was popular, our teacher would let us listen to records on Fridays after lunch, but she wouldn't let us play this song, because she said it was "nasty"! Of course, that just made us want to hear it even more, because we had no idea what she meant! lol

[@rico99586]

Haha. Hope she's still alive so she can see what nasty REALLY is.

[@dalecarter923]

Always loved this song.

[@Shampoogirl3]

if I got to sit that close to her. Id pass out. love her so much

[@Cindrbell]

If I got that close to him!!!!

[@nopainlorraine1128]

@@Cindrbell Jim was sooo handsome

[@halslusher6030]

Remember entertainment I miss it so badly

[@ShowPony1]

OMG....its awesome! Thanks for sharing - this is the first time I have seen this video. Thanks again!

[@kimberlysimpson3206]

I love Dolly Pardon and this song and I still have my pride.

[@jsc9306]

That's the cutest thing ever... lol

[@blythkd9017]

Yeah she was an absolute doll back then. I remember the show but I was too young at the time to appreciate how cute Dolly really was. It's no wonder Porter didn't want to let her go.

[@jameslarimer9211]

It looks like they neglected rehearsals for this, and I feel like it was a good decision. It really added to the charm. They seem to have real chemistry too.

[@sherrybirchall8677]

I'm not seeing missed rehearsals with this.

[@paxmule]

@@sherrybirchall8677 I agree. They're a couple of pros, and they can make it look improvised - I suspect it was well-rehearsed!

[@garywalters3007]

better than a polished product.

[@patriotgirl1american854]

I want my 70’s BACK AGAIN!!!! The world sucks now. I’m a 1963 baby.

[@SnowyOwl61]

61 baby, and I agree, the world has changed drastically

[@joannehazel3278]

I don't think i ever saw this back when, I LOVE IT!!!

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

I can remember when Porter Wagner acted like he owned Dolly . he DID NOT want to let her go on her own . Dolly has been a sweet heart to many of us . she is a very beautiful & entertaining lady .

[@michelleobrien8036]

I was 19 and stationed at Pearl Harbor the first time I heard this one on the radio. I loved everything Jim Stafford did. This one, and the Wildwood weed, and the Mr Bojangles, long version.

[@mr.mikeyg.5282]

Please take me back to those days!

[@vicbitter2142]

Dolly Still a legend in 2021 Just a great humenbeing

[@ednafenton7558]

Don't remember watching this. How cute. I've seen Jim do this song many times. Also have Conway & Loretta doing this song.

[@southcity34]

Yeah,young dolly was hot.a rare combination of talent and looks.

[@singingcowboy674]

And PERSONALITIES!

[@vesubioromo9425]

Still remember this classic, a Monster Hit for Jimbo. Got him his own show for a spell. And Dolly is adorable.

[@misstreebird]

70's seemed so innocent, so silly, so cool.

[@georgeiron8399]

The 70's were the best !

[@melodyjordan6052]

I miss the Seventies.

[@paulgekides6608]

... and Country music is still the only genre that makes sense. Just my personal opinion

[@toothpastaduck3613]

If u were white yes.

[@TheMidnightModder]

I assure you, it wasn't all innocent xD

[@richardrhoads9396]

Just found this video love the song the guy &Dolly perfect combo that’s when entertainment was entertaining no political B S just entertaining xoxo to both of them great work

[@ericcarter550]

At SpenceManorHotel,I met a fancy lady ,and a country gentleman, when I was working at the Hotel.Wonderful Country RecordingArtists stayed at the hotel,and I loved working there,and meeting the Celebs . Eric R.Carter-ThankYou, Michael Spence,of Spence Manor and Condos.

[@ericcarter550]

One of the greatest recording artist I was graced to know was Mr.KennyRogers.I came to work one day ,and was asked to take Mr.KennyRogers clothes to his Hotel Room.I loved working atSpenceManor ,OnMusicRow,near Broadway and downtown Nashville,Tenn.

[@Shampoogirl3]

have been in love with Dolly forever

[@hollymauk8008]

Why can't things be simply sweet and funny like this anymore? I was just a kid when this aired, but I remember it so well.

[@richmappe6087]

It wasn't sweet and funny.

[@carlaaustin6054]

How cute. They act so good 😂❤️😂❤️.

[@1karenna]

I love ya Jim Stafford. I had an autographed photo of you in the 70's it was my prized possesion. Wish I still had it bc I like you just as much now as then 😎

[@lovechild60]

Love it. 2023

[@froglobster]

Yep, I found this vid about 10y back love it still!

[@AngelTini23]

love lil dolly dimples!!! :D think it's the only time dolly wears flats hehe.... thanks for sharing - this is one of my favourite songs from the 70s dolly show series

[@brendanbayer5002]

Great times growing up and sometimes Even Showing Up...oh, and that sweet innocent 😇 sounding voice of Dolly...🤔🤗

[@vigeo5]

There ain't nothin' innocent about Dolly in this video.

[@heyitsbrattnie]

She's so cute

[@kenanderson6563]

This song brings me back to old time

[@VforVenlee]

"AAA I DONT WANT IT" awww Dolly is america's sweet heart

[@leedaroach2150]

Always one of my favorite.😋

[@DollyFan12]

"I wanna be loved by ya, Dolly, I wanna be loved by ya! Don't do this ta me Dolly, don't smack me with yer sucker!" ROFL She's so funny. No matter what she does, she cracks me up so hard.

[@sloanchampion85]

I remember this....great song

[@chiconian49]

I love it.

[@awitness4jehovah]

Wow! How stinking adorable were they

[@MichaelKatt]

I just googled Jim Stafford, and He is still alive!! I wonder if he ever remembers the songs I did when he was young? :)

[@Destroyer-lv5eb]

He performs in Branson, MO at his theater now... or until Covid anyway 😳🙄

[@fredflintstone1316]

Dolly wow! Awesome!

[@dollypfan994]

she has to be the most adoreable person ever! so cutee, and no heels, she looks so tinyy! aww

[@genefogarty5395]

So cool to see this! I remember watching it as a kid on the big old twenty five inch RCA we had when it aired originally, lol. And I must say, Lee jeans had a real strong stitching in the crotch, because seeing Dolly in that outfit surely induced some strain on that region!

[@KarenPilarAraujo]

She's adorable and they are having playful fun in this performance, yet the director made a mistake not having him costumed as a young boy to go along with her young girl character's attire. In the song Mary Lou and the singer are the same age, which is clear in the lyrics but not at all apparent visually in this. A silly skit. Dolly has always been so delightful and talented and Jim Stafford is a real cut up as a singer and comedian.

[@sambosmom]

Jim Stafford was my very first concert. It was at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. I was probably about 9 yrs old. It was great. He had a awesome puppeteer that had some puppets that danced on a stick.

[@orionluckystar]

Absolutely love Dolly! What a cute performance. And Jim Stafford was friggin hot!

[@karamusk]

such a cute song i love it

[@frin355]

Both of your performances are so cute and funny.

[@Maxid1]

You hugged Dolly Parton. I don't think there's anything else left for you to do in this life.

[@mcfrdmn]

Excellent performance

[@guarddog318]

All you folks that wanna go back to the '80s? Keep 'em! I'd rather go back to this anytime. I've lived through both, and let me tell ya, the two DO NOT compare.

[@jc6594]

Happy 75th Birthday Jim Stafford
