Ray Stevens The Streak | Metal / Rock Fans First Time Reaction with Garrison Brothers Balmorhea

Metal / rock fans first time reaction to Ray Stevens "The Streak" while checking out some excellent Garrison Brothers Balmorhea

[@noramarcum7299]

My favorite Ray Stevens song is Sitting up With the Dead. It’s hilarious

[@g00senek2]

100% lol. I'm 31 going on 32 and my grandparents had it on VHS as a kid. Sittin up with the dead was the best one.

[@louellacharlton4425]

he did not do alot of regular music but his " EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL" IS really one you should hear.

[@nancyhamilton2647]

Yes great song

[@astralnomad]

Everything Is Beautiful was written for his variety show "The Ray Stevens Show" in 1970.. fun fact: Ray is not his first name. His actual first name is Harold. Ray is his second name.

[@greeneyelove2003]

Ray Stevens is a legend. He is so damn funny. Mississippi Squirrel is my favorite but this one is great. "Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone" "Shriner's Convention" "The Pirate Song (I Want To Sing And Dance)" should be added for sure.

[@Diana-ks6sz]

Another vote for Mississippi Squirrel

[@I_give_up_already]

Ahab the Arab, It’s Me Again Margaret’s are also great!

[@kailyns8159]

“Don’t look, Ethel!” Ah, yes... The Streak. My favorite Ray Stevens song. I LOVE that ending! And the little Ray cartoon who does all the streaking is such a fun touch.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

The cartoon dude cracked me up. - Keith

[@michellemedinas7128]

Shriners convention is another hilarious Ray Steven's song. I think that was the first time I heard Ray Steven's. Yes you should definitely do the Mississippi Squirrel Revival. Those are two you should definitely do.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Great reaction, I giggled at y'all's expressions. Yes, please check out Mississippi Squirrel Revival, it is hilarious!

[@maryrichardson1318]

Every time I hear this song, it brings back memories of when the guy streaked across the stage at the Academy Awards, on live tv.

[@lefty3141591]

There are so many fun songs done by Ray Stevens. He is so entertaining that it is amazing how talented his musical skills are. Some of my favorites are Mississippi Squirrel, Haircut song, and The Bricklayer Song

[@Popson2wheels]

Streaking was very common back in the mid 70's. It was a fad at the time. Ray did a few serious songs, but most were along these lines. Gitarzan(1969) and Ahab the Arab(1962) were some of his earlier songs that were funny.

[@bigbow62]

You nailed it Pops... it was practically a sport ✌😎 Ah yes, fun & simpler times ( ...and a bit crazy 😉 )

[@Teresia12]

Gotta love Ray Steven's. I saw quite a few streakers. Even one ran across the back yards on my street my back yard being one of them. It was such a dumb thing. It made no sense at all. The Mississippi Squirrel Revival is hilarious. So is Sitting Up With The Dead. P.S. He's still alive in Nashville.

[@loriemills8337]

I was a kid when this song came out. People really started streaking when this song came out.

[@kylemitchell1677]

There is a good chance he sees this. I've seen him comment on other reactors to his work.... 'Sitting up with the Dead' is the best one you haven't reacted to yet

[@stevebournite184]

Another hilariously great review guys!!! Whenever we would be in some crowded area, my Dad would catch my Mom not paying attention and he scream out “Don’t look Ethalllll”…lol forever ingrained in my mind! I’ve got to throw in my vote for “Mississippi Squirrel Revival” & “Sitting Up With The Dead”. You can’t go wrong with any of his songs but these always ranked highly for me. And Keith, I’ll vote yes when it comes to hearing some ol Jerry Clower hits!!! He would’ve made a great 3rd man to join y’all on the couch lol

The Streak was originally recorded around '74, when streaking became a phenomenon. It was reworked for this video.

No matter how depressed you are, you can listen to Ray Stevens and not be sad anymore. I've missed you 2!! As for the bourbon, I have 8 more trips to Waco for the reconstruction...someone take pity on me, all I have is a 6 year old bottle of Jack lol. Soon as this surgery crap is over and gas prices go down, I'm trying some of these bourbons.. As always, y'all never fail to make me laugh.

I have never heard of "crowing" before -- and I used to hang out in that part of MI a lot in my 20s. My turn to say "what. the. fuck." --- I'm pretty sure The Streak was written back in the late 60s or early 70s when, as I have been told, there was a craze of streaking

[@michellemckinney1208]

Oh Ray Stevens and you two together would be hilarious! Can't wait for you guys to do Sittin' Up With The Dead.

[@johndavidson5228]

There are so many funny Ray Stevens songs. For something serious from him, I would recommend "Everything is Beautiful".

[@carlprince2866]

The first piece of music I ever owned was a 45 record of Ray Stevens speed ball My mom gave it to me with one of those old suitcase record players when i was less than 5 years old. Ray was a classically trained pianist . he does do some regular songs but he is great with the humor.

[@camelliaroan6341]

Lol! I might have known a few people that went streaking back in high school when this song came out! Lol!

[@candicedonaldson4259]

I'm not sure why but back in the 70s there was like a trend of people streaking...it was so ridiculous ..I think this is probably why he wrote this song all his songs are weird like this except Everything is beautiful...there was another guy named Jim Stafford who sang crazy stuff like Ray did..they are the only two that I remember being in this category..

[@esmom1896]

I remember when this song came out in 1974. I bought the 45 and wore that record out! The original is much better than the video you are watching probably because Ray was younger and his singing voice reflected that.

[@bradleymassey252]

At my college we had a shotgun rally where we would chug a beer then run across the railroad tracks behind a building on campus shotgun another beer behind the building then run back. Whoever was faster wins. It was maybe half a mile at most maybe closer to a quarter mile but you ran the chance of a train coming while you was on the far side and get stuck.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

LOL, hiding in a ditch, naked, watching a train go by... - Keith

[@johnrybold7258]

I think this song was #1 in 1974

[@LizJasonHEA]

This should not make you uncomfortable it's just funny. Or maybe you just had to have been in college in the '70s. This song came out in 1974 , the year that they were streaking all over college campuses. The university that I attended, Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville Tennessee had coverage in the national newspapers and made the streaking article in Life magazine because we didn't just have individual streakers running across a football field We had a parade of streakers. Pre-internet but word of it spread everywhere. The main street through campus was lined with people just at the right time to see this parade it was fabulous. At least a dozen varsity football tam members rode in the back of pickup trucks holding their helmets over their private parts. We had streakers on motorcycle, streakers floats, clowns it was literally a streaking parade. It was awesome. Campus security got copies of photographs from the campus yearbook staff and penalize all those people they could identify. I don't think they didn't kick him out of school but they were charged with misdemeanors. The '70s was the greatest time ever and growing up in that time period there's not much that makes me uncomfortable anymore LOL
