Ray Stevens - "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival" (Music Video)

[@sevrah22]

I live in Pascagoula!! I grew up listening to old Ray Stevens always loved listening to his songs 🎵

[@dragnbane]

I remember listening to Ray Steven's on cassette as a child......never realized until now, but he's got a really good singing voice

[@Imperium83]

Last summer I was watching over my recently deceased uncle's farm house, he didn't have any cable or anything for his tv, but a vcr and some Ray Stevens tapes. I never heard of him until that night, but I spent the whole evening watching his tapes and loving every minute of it, he really helped me get through that tough time. Ray Stevens is hilarious.

[@lauragreen5622]

This just never gets old.

[@honeygilbert204]

And we all got re baptised whether we needed it or not.

Back when I was a teenager my Daddy was the pastor of a small Assembly of God church. A friend of mine and I was watching a Mouse running around on the platform while Daddy was preaching. He turned and walked over where the Mouse was and the Mouse jumped off the platform and ran to the back of the church a woman on about the three row of sets seen it and screamed a man on the other side of the church thought she was doing it because she being bless by God was and was shouting and God was make him feel good already so he jumped up and started shouting then it just moved over the whole church. Daddy, my friend, that little woman and I was the only ones that know what really started it. So some time God can bless people by a little anamil. After she regained her composure after seeing the Mouse she got a blessing from God to. I think about that Mouse everytime I hear this song. That was in the 60s when that happened almost 2 ppl years before ray releases his song. It brought back memories then and still does every time I hear today.

[@breakworldsports8072]

My grandpa had this on 8 track when I was a kid, Ray Stevens is a baaad man. Toss up between this one and "The Streak"!

[@ZZTOPSALL]

Ray Stevens is got to be one of the funniest guys in the music business. This has been my favorite song/music video of his.

[@lockedin60]

Only Ray Stevens could sing this song this way and get a way with it. I still say Everything is Beautiful has got to be one of his best songs. though.

[@rebeccapierceadams8141]

Remember listening to this record as a kid , such good fun songs. Played em for my kids lol

[@theodoref.shwetz2233]

Still A Great Song No matter how many times you listen

[@christianpatriot7439]

My favorite gospel hymn.

[@leeleigh53phillips55]

Idk why I remembered this out of the blue but had to play it - every bit as funny as it used to be! What makes it so funny is I can see some of the kids I knew and grew up with doing this and similar goings-on happening lol.

[@teresamellett7758]

[@MTSTEEL1]

LOL, I have this on my playlist. The looks I get when it plays over my speakers is priceless.

[@KingsKnight7]

More modern churches need a visit from a "half-crazed mississippi squirrel". Seriously.

[@jeremymitchell3642]

This song reminds me of my grandpa and I miss him terribly and I love him so much I just cry when I listen to this song

[@chater009]

Ray Stevens is the best comedian known. Still woundering if the squirrel did happen in church?

[@greeneyelove2003]

I wish something like this would happen in the church I grew up in. I stopped attending as soon as I was 18.

[@johnsturgess7011]

We need to put a squirrel in all the churches now-a-dayz!!!😎🏁

[@rexommendation7117]

God bless Ray Stevens

[@jakedull2553]

I seen this as a kid and thought about bringing a squirrel to church to see what would happen 😂

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

A classic to be sure.

[@butterfliesnana9888]

Love to listern to Ray Stevens singing

[@GlennRoxWyo]

I've always loved this song & the video is classic.

[@MsPandaRosa]

Positive Proof that God has a sense of humor!

[@brendasmith1292]

IMO more Mississippi squirrel need to be turned loose in this world. It might just improve it.

[@happymike44]

[@cgoldie2758]

[@TheSFCRetired]

Many long years ago, I went to a church in Alabama that looked just like this one. Yep, they needed, and still need, that squirrel although I do believe that a skunk would have an even better result.

[@Princemudeenu1]

[@lockedin60]

I can attest to the fact it is still hot and humid in Pascagoula up to almost he end of October. I thought there could not be other place in the South Like North Carolina when the air is stagnant and the humidity is so thick. But I then went to Ole Mississippi a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit.

The only time I saw people flying over the Pues in the church . I was 11 AT THE TIME. i was when at one service a man had to be possess by a demon, He started talking weird stuff The pastor started rebuking the devil in him, Two men behind him went to grab him to calm him down and get him out of the Sanctuary into another part of the church, next thing I know them two men went flying backwards over two rows of they finally got to wear they held him down the pastors and other started to pray over him, After about 30 minutes he was calm he looked around said what is going on He did not remember anything he said the last thing he remember was him and his wife getting in the car to come to church
