Jim Stafford Sings Spiders & Snakes Branson, MO

[@lauriecarr7447]

I was a Junior in High School when this song came out. I loved it then and I love it now. Good and fun songs never die. This song joins many others such as Bye Bye Miss American Pie. They should be honored and listed in the Country Hall of Fame.

[@TraceB1979]

OMG I had such a crush on Jim Stafford when I was young - what a cutie - he is still a good lookin man.

[@susangoryan1774]

MEEEE too. He had a fabulous summer replcement show one year on TV. Best variety show ever.

[@bunnykos9518]

I remember I was probably 6 or 7 years old and I had a crush on him!!

[@7RB373]

me too! I was just thinking about that.

[@karenjanosik1789]

Lol..so did i

[@kathy8409]

me too!!!!!!

[@DontLetTheOldManIn]

Great song! Used to sing this when it came out, I was in like 4th grade. He misses the key change, and giggles through it. A good performer! Doesn't get rattled and holds it together. Funny guy

[@funlo.vingco]

Omgoooosh.... Is that a '72 fender acoustic????!!! I SWEAR it looks EXACTLY LIKE MINE ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@hadoenough]

Understated performer that can do anything and a good guitar player.

[@winogirlll]

I was 4 years old and this song was so funny to me. Ah, the memories of the 74. Heck, all of the 70s were great.

[@jeremybrown5096]

This was from the Smothers Brothers reboot in the 80's.

[@TheCountryGirlSwaggg]

I love the old comedy singers like Jim Stafford and Ray Stevens. Much better than some of todays acts, js.

[@louisb5563]

I wish I knew what he was chuckling about towards the end, anything that makes him laugh must be good or at least interesting on The Smothers Brothers Show! I was only a "little shaver" at the time of this show but I've grown to respect his talent. I bet he's a really great guy!

[@jondunmore4268]

He missed the key change, and knew that the band knew it as well. He recovered immediately though, and had a little chuckle about it. Only the band members would know what he was chuckling about. And he did it so smoothly, you didn't know what to think of it - so he succeeded.

[@flyumhighloft]

Now this is back in the day !!!!! Great job Jim still sounds good !

[@CelestineGray_cgraydc]

I've got to add this to my stupid songs list. Even Jim has to laugh while singing the song. The Smothers Brothers was one of my favorite shows growing up. They were always doing crazy things on the show to make ppl laugh. ❤️🌹❤️

[@JudyinAL]

He was so handsome! Cute song.

Happy Birthday Jim Stafford born on January 16, 1944. He is an American comedian, musician, and singer-songwriter. Stafford has headlined at his own theater in Branson, Missouri, since 1990. -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Stafford

[@blackholeentry3489]

I saw him perform several times in Branson....always one of my favorite shows.

[@Sally-lm1fd]

Hi I love you Jim you are so beautiful and I love you

[@acoustikarl]

I believe the song you are looking for is "My Last Meal" written by James A. Lane and performed by Chuck St. Croy and the Bluesiana All Stars. I have it on a compilation CD called Blues For A Barbecue.

[@authemann]

Era todo un crío, cuando escucha this song.. me la ponían para dormir

[@MrFlood1963]

Fogerty needs to do a cover of this. It has his bayou swampy rock sound.

[@HogRebel]

Now you're making ME feel old! : o LOL! I remember when it first came out, does that tell ya anything about my age?!! Not sure what year, I think about 1973 or 1974.

[@acoustikarl]

That is the song. I just looked up the lyrics and where your reference sings "Muskee and beans, black-eyed peas" the one I referenced sings "Skeeters knees, black-eyed peas".

[@MacStrong-uc5yq]

Yesss I dooooo🎶🕷️🐍🎶 like I wanna be loved by 🎶🫵🎶🥁🎶🥁🎶🥁🎶Yaaaa 🎶foooooll🎶🤣 3:00

Irritating ads: negative brand and product recognition takes but a moment and lasts forever. If the ads are so 'popular' and 'interesting' put them at the end of the video, you may not get as much NEGATIVE product recognition. Everyone pass this message on...

[@khighley5133]

I like that song . Its an older song.

[@kja427]

Whatever happened to the novelty tune? We don't hear those anymore.

[@7RB373]

do you remember "The Telephone Man"?

[@Sally-k2m]

Hello Jim I love you so beautiful handsome man my boyfriend

[@OlBlueshound]

How good is that? Did Tom make it out the "Scarey Box"?

[@fjccommish]

Did Tom get out of the box?

[@auxpowerunit]

How can his hands remain so agile on the guitar, while he is NOT using a neck strap ?!🤔

[@sophiesmit6071]

And they call it the streak

[@DontLetTheOldManIn]

That was Ray Stevens.

[@wagnerpd5921]

Was there AUDIO w/ this post?

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

That Scary Bx sounds exciting.

[@harding0010]

This song is so true. I hate spiders and snakes.

[@royjones3080]

Lord I hate the loneliness ringing in my ears The echoes of Silence awaken me with each NIGHTMaRE I edurre. each and every night So now I'lll sleep MAYBE Go away GO AWAY YOU UGLY NIGHTMARES GO THE FUCK AWAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DecemberMornings]

Back in the late 80's (or early 90's) my sister had a tape of a Christian band that covered this song...anybody have any idea who that band might be?

[@7RB373]

you can google it probably!

[@Pashasmom1]

OMG, Jim Parsons looks like Jim Stafford! I remember this song. Clearly. But sometimes I would get Jim mixed up with Ray Stevens.

[@kruss4822]

@msrocketgirl33 yes he is alive

[@supermandisco]

I got the MP3.

[@mfwills]

It's obviously not Branson,

[@equarg]

To generation Y Thumbs up of you went here because and "old timer" told you about this song!

[@funch357]

Yes we do. Go listen to Weird Al Yankovic.

[@pg1171]

Weird Al is good, I like him myself, but he just isn't as good as these other guys.

[@russellmoore8187]

This guy sexually assaulted Nell Scovell.

[@tps1020]

So unbearably corny, not my thing

[@guildfordboy]

I've loved this record for years but have never seen what Jim Stafford looked like before. I'm kind of disappointed that he looks nothing like the 'hillbilly' I imagined. This live performance is also disappointing as it is really poor compared to the recorded version we are used to.

[@TravelinBand747]

Completely disagree. I thought it was a cool live version.

[@19.sciencetechnology30]

i dont like trump and pence, cause they dont make no sense, its true. i dont like trump and pence, because theyre both so dense ooh ooh ooh.

[@maylaroseblackburn3039]
