Ray Stevens - The Streak!!

[@machfront]

“And we ALL got re-Baptized whether we needed or not!” LOL! 😂

[@BillHallisey]

Ray is still with us. Two of his best non-comedic songs, are "Misty" and especially "Everything Is Beautiful". It is a wonderful song!

[@oldgeezer3324]

Ray Stevens has his own KZbin Channel, a lot of humorous songs and some are newer.

[@botabob]

Ray Stevens is known to respond to reaction videos of his work. Ray is going to love your reaction. Great reaction ladies. Enjoy the journey - cheers

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

I hope so!

[@RoGueNavy]

Ray is a national treasure! You must hear "The Haircut Song".

[@teddtarr]

The 'amen pew' of the 'First Self Righteous Church' -- ole' Ray called 'em like he saw 'em. Goody on him !

[@richardburdon3241]

and just about every small church has that "Bertha better-than-you" hypocrite and gossipy queen bee. Some have more than one

[@jimreilly917]

Sister Bertha Better Than You 😂😂

[@dagmar.6954]

Ray Stevens is a country & pop singer-songwriter & comedian known for his novelty hits such as "Gitarzan", "Ahab The Arab", "Along Came Jones", "The Streak" and others. But he also did a few serious songs such as "Misty" & "Everything Is Beautiful" which he won a Grammy for in 1970. Please check out Home Free's version of this song "Mississippi Squirrel Revival". They do a great animated version that is very funny. Ray Stevens commented that he really liked it.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Gotta love Ray man!!!!!❤❤

[@robertkern9911]

Ray has so many great songs most of them funny but he won a Grammy for everything is beautiful; a lovely song, funny ones like Ahab the Arab the streak and guitarzan

[@Ronald-k6s]

Ray Stevens "Everything is Beautiful", Sly and the Family Stone "Everyday People" and 3 Dog Night "Black & White" are the songs of my youth where we were slowly getting 😀 together😀 but today I don't KNOW!😢

[@ronwilcox7716]

Thank you country gals! You make my heart sing!

[@baron7755]

And started naming names!!!

[@philipdickey6460]

I just love this song ladies, Ray Stevens is still with us..one of my other favorites from him, is The Streak and one called The Day I Taught Charlene Mackenzie How To Drive

[@darrelllankford3014]

#HomeFree did an a capella version of this as a cartoon. Very good.😊

[@Tomtanker57]

Great Reaction Ladies! Ray's videos are always hilarious. "It's Me Again Margaret" is one you should enjoy immensely. 😉 Thanks!...❤😂😂

[@Briansgate]

The Streak, Blue Cyclone, It's me again, Margaret, Misty....he has lots of great songs. Funny and great singer. What a talent.

[@bobcompton5145]

Ray does the best comedy songs , EVER!!!!!!!!!

[@ericwagner1824]

Although I love Ray Stevens, Weird Al

[@ronaldnelson6692]

@@ericwagner1824 Ray is kind of like the Weird Al of country.

[@TheNighthhawk]

Home Free did this a few mths ago, in cartoon figures. Watch and see what cartoon characters they put in it with them. Real good.

[@prointraining1]

I love how mom is already giggling before it even starts!

[@timworks991]

Ray Stevens had a number of funny hits like this back in the 60's & 70's when I was in High School and College. The Streak, Ahab The Arab and Guitarzan were some that I remember but I think this may have been the biggest hit. By the way, a group I know you are familiar with, Home Free did a cover of this. It is hilarious as you might imagine, and worth checking out. I am a Home Fry and truly enjoy watching you react to them.

[@bidwell13]

Ray Stevens has a lot of great songs and videos. “Santa Claus is Watching You”, “Sittin up with the dead”, “the streak”, “it’s me again Margaret”, “Surfin USSR” and a more serious one that he wrote, composed & sung is “Everything is Beautiful” the children heard in the chorus were from Oak Hill Elementary in Tennessee and had Ray Stevens two daughters in it.

[@ronnoe6708]

I always liked Erik the Awful as well as all of those you mentioned.

[@markmccormack635]

His songs even made it to over here I'm the UK loved them all.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Home Free covered this song just a couple of years ago. The MV is animated, it's HILARIOUS! :)

[@TheHOWLER45]

He was one great singer and story teller.

[@trevorchard6368]

You have to do more Ray Steven's he is so funny

[@xJamesLaughx]

Yes, Ray Stevens is still around. Even shows up occassionally on reactions to his songs to respond in the comments. He is a great singer and is mostly known for his huge list of comedy music. Plenty of other comedy songs like this like "Guitarzan", "Harry the Hairy Ape", "Ahab the Arab" and one of my personal favorites...."The Streak". Though he also has some very good non humor songs as well like "Everything is Beautiful" being one of my personal favorites

[@dudly8408]

Ray Stevens- LITTLE EGYPT!! ( might be his first single hit ) ❤ ❤ ❤

[@Jazzbeu55]

Ray is still with us and performing at his club in Nashville. This is his last year before retirement though. All of his videos are really funny. He has a large body of work.

[@Bearfacts01]

We loved Ray Stevens in the 70s he came out towards the later 70s early 80s. Seemed every so often he would come out with these funny songs. Hilarious. They would play them on the radio!

[@CountryWheels711]

My grandma who passed away last month loved Ray Stevens.

[@brianlockhart7824]

He did many comedy videos like "The Streak", and "Hello Martha".

[@ericanderson8886]

"Guitarzan" is my favorite from Ray but he has so many funny songs, and of course "Everything is Beautiful" which is a really good song.

[@OcotilloTom]

I'm 78 and being from that area I can relate! Now try "Sitting up with the Dead"! El Mirage, Arizona

[@sirrex9982]

Ray is a legend some of his other hits the streak, erik the awful, surfing ussr, sitting up with the dead and so many more

[@EricSmaug]

I LOVE RAY LOL!!!

[@n5iln]

Ray Stevens is also an excellent pianist. There's a video out there with him, Boots Randolph on saxophone, and Chet Atkins on guitar, performing "Yakety Sax".

[@oldmanghost219]

Boots Randolph & the song "Yakety Sax" are why i switched from clarinet to tenor sax in high school.

[@shannonherb2048]

Ray was the man. I was kid like 7 and loved it. Rubs me that they blocked heaven and let hell slip. Great reaction yall

[@ShadowRyu]

My dad owned a mechanic shop in rock springs wyoming my entire childhood and would listen to Ray Steven's all the time when we worked on cars together ❤️ he had all his albums

[@DolaPrice]

The streak!!!

[@sheilabree1991]

Lulu, I believe those pants-skirts are called Gaucho skirts. They were popular in the 1970's but I think they're still available today. Back in the 70's they came in different lengths. Probably still do as far as I know.

[@rubroken]

You might want to react to Ray Stevens "Sitting Up With the Dead" another funny one from him

[@jakelaney2404]

Hugo the human cannonball was my favorite song when I was a kid

[@mikem8563]

True, I was a mailman in Pascagoula for 30 yrs

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Awesome

[@HenryCabotHenhouse3]

If you like Ray Stevens, you will also like Jim Stafford (one of the best guitarists, along with Roy Clark). Try his Wildwood Weed.

[@sonsofthunder915]

Stafford's I don't like spiders & snakes and My girl Bill, That's what little kids do too.

[@firedoc5]

Think you gals need to do more Ray Stevens. LOL Saw Ray in Branson, MO about the time this came song came out and bought the video tape of his greatest hits up to then including "The Streak", "It's Me Again Margaret", "Everything is Beautiful", and others.

[@rennyshelton]

If you haven't already, check out Ray's "Sittin' Up with the dead."

[@wallywallace5881]

Ray Stevens - The Dooright Family

[@stephenlabbe8715]

Take a look at "It's me again Margaret"

[@johnmoton4808]

Jerry Reed is another story teller, and C W Mccall.

[@donalddixon6541]

AND Tom T. Hall

[@stevedavis5704]

Some other good ones would be “Sitting Up With The Dead”, “I’m My Own Grampa (make sure you get the official video for the chart)and “The Day I Tried To Teach Charlene MacKenzie How to Drive”. But really you can’t go wrong with any of his songs.

[@Renovion]

I love Ray Stevens I think I have all but a couple of his albums. His last couple have been more political protest than comedy but he will forever be one of my favorites.

[@stevep2430]

I can see Lulu going into the fashion industry and good on her if she does.

[@DannyCheek]

And Lulu also has a great eye for noticing hairstyles in music videos. "Hair" by The Cowsills is a MUST for these three ladies to react to!!!

[@johndee9719]

Ray Stevens- I am my own grandpa.

[@ronaldnelson6692]

That song is hilarious.

[@danalynch8889]

You should react to his song, Sittin Up with the Dead. It is really funny too.

[@FarAwayEyes69]

Happy Times indeed !

[@elvwood]

Never seen the video, loved the song since I bought the album back in the early 80s! My absolute favourite though is _Erik_ _the_ _Awful..._

[@timlamb-o3d]

The streak

[@nathanmeece9794]

Sitting Up With The Dead, The Streak,It's Me Margaret

[@wesdog8975]

Guitarzan, Along Came Jones, Shriner's Convention, It's Me Again Margaret, The Streak, Eric the Awful, Sitting Up With the Dead, Everything is Beautiful, Surfin the USSR, Ahab the Arab, Santa Clause is Watching You, and Taylor Swift is Stalking Me.

[@markmartineau1015]

I could recommend so many of his hilarious songs but if you want to hear him sing please listen to "Everything is beautiful. It is a more serious song but absolutely great. Funny songs could be Sitting up wth the dead or if you want pure confusion I am my own hrandpa

[@StevesFunhouse]

Yeah, actually, Ray did a number of straight songs like Misty, Everything Is Beautiful and Mr. Businessman, which did pretty well in the charts, but it actually wasn't until he released his first comedy/novelty song, The Streak, that his career really skyrocketed and made him a household name at the time ... and I LIKE IT !!! Besides the straight songs mentioned above, some of his great comedy songs would include again, The Streak, Guitarzan (one of the funniest and my favorites), Along Came Jones (my 2nd most favorite song from him), Shriner's Convention, Santa Claus is Watching You and, of course, Ahab The Arab.

[@artieevenson]

The streak is another that is good

[@richardburdon3241]

I believe that the lady in the blue dress and on the far right in the choir is Ray's wife.

[@hakumawolf]

He has I place outside of Nashville. Couple years ago a took my father and stepmother to his place when we went for vacation. I have a picture with My brother, father, Ray Stevens and me on my wall. He hangs out with people in his bar after the show.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Awesome

[@sandralorenz1796]

Check out Ray's "Sittin' Up With The Dead".

[@nahkohese555]

If you like Ray Steven's, you will probably like Jim Stafford. He's another one who sings comedy/country song.

[@TheFireMonkey]

So many possibilities - might I suggest The Haircut Song - not saying it's his best, but it deserves a little love.

[@joeglennaz]

That was awesome!! hello from Phoenix, Arizona. I just came across your channel when I was searching up this song. I’ll be a new subscriber.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

I was wondering when you would get to Ray Stevens. The 2 I know by him are... I Am My Own Grandpa ... & ...The Streak ... Which is about a real college fad in the 70's. 2 guys and a girl did it at my high school.
