[@bluedog6563]

Hi Jamel, just wondering if you have heard any indigenous artist from Australia, the first song to hit the mainstream from an indigenous band that included singing in language was “Treaty’ by Yothu Yindi. Australia’s First Nations peoples had around 300 different languages prior to the arrival of Europeans. The song is about the need for a Treaty between Australia’s First Nations peoples and the Australian government. I would be interested to hear your response to hearing an Australian indigenous language in song.

[@doobiedave9686]

Jamel check out Sitting Up With The Dead by Ray Stevens, it's hilarious as well. 🙌👍✌️

The best part about this is that it is accurate. All you have to grant is a scenario where: 1. Your own mother died 2. You fall in love with a woman about 20 years older than you 3. Your father falls in love with her daughter(feels mildly creepy) 4. Both couples have a kid together. Maybe it's a little bizarre, but all the logic falls into place in that scenario.

The first time I head this song I was yep, can relate.

[@losthor1zon]

Makes the scene from the movie Chinatown lame by comparison, though it's more sordid.

[@williammccullough2466]

My ex had something like that; her dad had a son with another woman, so he was her step-brother; then her dad married her mom and had her and her siblings. They got divorced, and he passed away, and his son from the previous marriage (and my ex's stepbrother) married her mother, which was his stepmother, which made him both her brother and stepfather. I'm just glad THEY never had kids, because my head would probably explode trying to figure it all out...

[@willdwyer6782]

First of all, the children of your cousin are your second cousins. Your sister is their stepmother and their half sister is no cousin at all, because she's not related to their mother.

[@workinallnight2993]

[@melodymcdonald2140]

I was just thinking the same thing! One of my favorite things about my dad was the way he laughed.. It was almost like a little kid with giggles..He always needed a handkerchief because laughed so hard he cried. He loved Ray Stevens too... Bridgette the Midget and Its Me Again Margaret were his favorites. I still remember sitting around the table at my grandparents house listening to the records. Sweet times.😊. Another favorite artist was Jerry Clower.. He was a comedian that was absolutely hilarious!

[@lonnielongino798]

My Dad & Mom got married in 1971. Before he met my mom he had 3 grown boys by a prior marriage. One of them met my mom's niece at the same time & also fell in love & got married. Well a year later I came along. So my half brother is also my cousin in law. And my first cousin is also my sister in law. True story. No blood relation by either of them but I have blood on both sides lol.🙂😂

[@maryrichardson1318]

My husbands' step grandfather on his mother's side is also his half great uncle on his dad's side, and they all have the same last name. Talk about confusing. And on my mom's side, her father and his brother were married to sister's and their sister was married to one of the cousins. My family tree does not fork.

This was actually based on a writing by Mark Twain, in fact, in my country where this song is unknown, it's known either as a Mark Twain story or an anonymous joke, I found this song while searching for the story. The thing is just the marriages alone are enough to make this guy his own grandpa, but they needed to make the song longer.

I grew up Mormon in the South, so this song has always spoken to me on several cultural levels. :) But I remember singing this in my grandma's Winnebago when we'd go camping in Mississippi when i was maybe 4 years old. (Mormons do the whole 'get together and put on spontaneous musical performances. It's like we all thought we were the Osmonds from 1977-1983.) But Ray Stevens was the inspiration for many songs we grandkids wrote or re-parodied. We may have been a cult, but we TRULY kept ourselves 'entertained.' Ray Stevens is a hero of mine for sure. Thanks for the happy reminder! :)

Ray is hilarious!! When I was young in the 60s and 70s he was on all the musical variety shows, which were really popular back then. We had one of those mixed up family things where after my grandmother died, my grandfather married his sister-in-law who was my grandmother's brother's widow. So my dad's step-mother was also his aunt!!

My late dad loved to play this for us kids back in the 70s. Took a bit for us to get all the intricacies, but it was fun trying. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@maryannanderson2213]

I was raised in the hills of Tennessee and one of our neighbors was an old man who was widowed and who had a grown son. They started dating an old lady and her grown daughter. The old lady and the daughter agreed to marry the old man and his son and the young man sent his father to get marriage licenses for dad to marry the old lady and son to marry her daughter. Dad went to get the license but he started thinking that he really would prefer to marry the young woman instead of the old one so he got the marriage licenses showing that HE would marry the daughter and his son would marry the mother. None of this quartet was overly burdened with good sense and when he came back with the mixed up licenses his son thought that meant he HAD to marry the old woman even though he was not overly thrilled at the thought of doing that. They did precisely that. The old man married the young woman and the young man married the old woman. When we moved to that town everyone involved was dead except the "young woman" who by now was herself an old woman. Our other neighbors took great glee in telling us the story about how the old man set it up so he could have the young woman and how everyone involved just went along with his plan.

Several years after my sweet grandmama passed, I told him I was going to "fix him up" with my widowed mother-in-law and he said that kind of sounds like Ray Stevens' song "I'm My Own Grandpa". A song I had never heard before, but I researched and found the song & purchased it [cassette tape age...hahaha!] What a beautiful memory for me, thank you, Jamal!

[@debbieomi]

When this song came out, it hit home for a family friend. His ex-wife married his Dad. His sons became his step-brothers. Fast forward a couple years and the friend met a lady who has a daughter and that girl and the friend's son fell in love, as did the friend and the lady. To make it more complicated, the friend's dad and ex-wife had a "menopause baby" so that little girl was his AND his boys' half-sister! lol He had this whole George Carlin type comedy sketch worked out about the whole situation.
