Jim Stafford & Dolly Parton Sing Spiders & Snakes Branson

Dolly Parton and I sing my hit song I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes.

[@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 🤣

[@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_

[@TheMidnightModder]

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

[@vigeo5]

So did I

[@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!!!!

[@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

[@ankapleune]

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

[@dave327ful]

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

[@BBQDad463]

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

[@AmandaPanda-nq1do]

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

[@mst7806]

Dolly Parton is an INTERnational treasure.

[@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. 🎶👍

[@sxippydennison3577]

This performance is EVERYTHING!!!

[@jeffhoward553]

Two of greatest entertainers of all times

[@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!!!

[@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....❤

[@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.

[@cathyt144]

2022 and this is still a great classic. ❤

[@paxmule]

Still is in 2023!

[@froglobster]

23 love it still !

[@wizpopr]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@blitzmagazine5649]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@neilant1]

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

[@JohnDoe-st7eu]

Who's watching this in 2020 amid the coronavirus crisis?

[@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113]

I'd rather be @ The Jim Stafford Theatre, in Branson, whether Dolly, Spiders and Snakes (and Frogs) are present or not.

[@glenrivara2353]

Absolutely love this version.

[@miketheyunggod2534]

You mean the Democratic governor crisis.

[@guruuudev5071]

See UK Col umn to learn the truth.

[@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.

[@Here0nMars]

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

[@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 .

[@sdushdiu]

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

[@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

[@lendavoice60]

Dolly.is awesome

[@alexaraenicole]

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

[@southcity34]

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

[@singingcowboy674]

And PERSONALITIES!

[@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.

[@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.

[@campfirestories]

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

[@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 !

[@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!

[@PinkCowgirl925]

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

[@cindyh8017]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@keithwayne2902]

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

[@user-zr4qn9jf6r]

Just told my roommate I was 11 at this time.

[@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!

[@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

[@BlyssfulButterfly30]

She is soooooo cute!

[@melodymoon900]

Ya her giggle

[@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

[@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.

[@Maxid1]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@laurapoulsen276]

I absolutely love this. I miss all of these

[@kimberlysimpson3206]

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

[@SuperTiaBaby]

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

[@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!

[@561musicman]

What a classic!!! Love It!!!

[@larryshackley8074]

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

[@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.

[@kimberlysquires9788]

She is so sweet and funny 🥰💘💘💖

[@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 😳🙄

[@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.

[@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.

[@cemott3rd]

Arguably one of the most beautiful and talented women in the 1970's, but I don't think they rehearsed this more than once...

[@mjrydsfast]

cemott3rd I"m going to bet they didn't rehearse this at all. It's awesome though.

[@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.

[@carlaaustin6054]

How cute. They act so good 😂❤️😂❤️.

[@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.

[@heyitsbrattnie]

She's so cute

[@kenanderson6563]

This song brings me back to old time

[@bp-ob8ic]

Rode the school bus that co-writer David Bellamy's mother drove. She would stop the bus every time this came on the radio. Francis was a proud mama David became a star in his own right, as 1/2 of the Bellamy Brothers, and they are still out there performing.

[@joannehazel3278]

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

[@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.

[@karinheart]

I love it, but I am from that generation :)

[@douglashall2141]

I love Dolly's giggle

[@teriw56]

Dolly has the cutest little kid voice.

[@malcolmbrewer]

Great timing ad libbing this great song

[@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

[@lscs102]

Guess I'm a few years late, here! Had to look up Jim Stafford (cuz I LOVED him!) but I found it hard to believe that the girl was Dolly!! I googled it, and sure enough! But then I HAD to know how old she was there; 14? 16? No.... 27! She did have a little girl voice there, as others have commented, and it was sweet, but a few times I heard that unmistakable little 'warble' in her voice. Cutest video ever!

[@eugenewillsey2135]

You want to walk me home from school? Yes I do … do what you want to do..♥️♥️

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

[@ShowPony1]

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

[@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 😎

[@ronaldharding3927]

Grew up in the same neck of the woods as Dolly. She got her start on the Cas Walker's Sunday morning program there in Knoxville and I think she sang on the Reverend and Mrs Mull's gospel hour, before she got the call to go to Nashville.

[@jdl.1234]

While in Desert Storm Dolly sent us Soldiers care packages. I'll never forget that.
