I loved Shawn's reaction. When this came out and the gentleman hit that "ooooom papa mau mau", we we nuts - cute AND can sing .... ❤❤❤❤

[@ramondwilliam1307]

The Oak Ridge Boys are Legends. They sing Great Gospel songs as well.

[@tarafied7322]

Always loved the Oak Ridge Boys. They have some of the tightest 4-part harmonies around and definitely one of the best bass singers.

[@rebeccalipps23]

Oh, yeah, love that bass voice! My dad could sing bass & he was my musical influence. Dad enjoyed the Do Wop sound of the 50s. For my 6th birthday in 1970, he gifted me a portable phonograph & carry case for 45 r.p.m. records full of records he had collected since his youth.

[@tarafied7322]

@@rebeccalipps23 My dad sang bass too, but he was probably older than your dad. Mine sang in a barbershop quartet. 😁

[@rebeccalipps23]

@@tarafied7322 Dad was 61 when he passed 8/16/41-1/20/03. Dad would break into song while at the bar.

[@timcarr6401]

That was the bass voice of Richard Sterban. He used to be a back-up singer for Elvis. He backed up the legendary J.D. Sumner --head of the Stamps Quartet at that time. So Elvis had two bass singers backing him up.

[@ajruther67]

The Statler Brothers sing similar kinds of country songs and have a deep bass singer as well Statler Brothers: Flower on the Wall, I'll Go To My Grave Loving You,

[@KashtukCA]

I second The Statler Brothers!!

[@jgn1326]

Me too!

[@terrisue4059]

Richard Sterban, the bass singer used to sing backup for Elvis. He quit to join The Oak Ridge Boys.

[@Deborahtunes]

In high-school choir at Patterson Sr. High, there was a girl named 'Elvira' in my class. While the sheet music was being passed around, our teacher would begin playing this song on the piano. We would sing the chorus: *"Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, for Elvira."* The look on her face was priceless...

[@truthseeker9249]

If I were her I would've pulled a gun on all of y'all. Then again I hate being put on the spot. Still, I can imagine it was pretty funny.

[@mellycook]

One of my favorite songs. U need to see them sing live

[@dagmar.6954]

Glad you are checking out this great country band. Elvira was a huge hit for the ORB in 1981. You need to check out the collaboration they did with Home Free for this song "Elvira". The Oak Ridge Boys had a lot of hits. Check out their fun song called "Bobbie Sue".

[@mybrainhurts1856]

AGREED on the collaboration w Home Free!!!

[@jamesellis701]

This is a white people song, they are pretending to like it

[@lefty3141591]

Bobbie Sue is a fun song.

[@johnnusz8278]

The Home Free colab is SO MUCH FUN to watch. and it showcases the voices of the Oakridge Boys WAY more than this version.

[@highnrising]

The Oaks are a group where you want to watch their live performances to know what they're about.

[@andreadeamon6419]

They played this so much over the airwaves that i still remembered most of it!

[@kathenavarro6850]

This came out when I was in beauty school. There was a girl in the school named Elvia. We used to ease her and call her Elvira. She used to get so mad and say, "My name is Elvia!!!!"

[@bobbyecrockett1710]

The guy with the bass voice was a back up singer for Elvis at one time.

[@delenelewis9024]

Aren't they great? It was Richard Sterban who sang bass. He's the one with dark hair 2nd from the left on the album cover you've displayed. What a great song! So much fun!

[@lisadelahaye6568]

love this song

[@LarryMcMillan-tv3ht]

The name of the bass is Richard sterban

[@bobbyecrockett1710]

Have seen in concerts twice and they are great! So much fun!

[@jessejleafty]

I wore this 45 out also bobby Sue 45 too. Then John Anderson's singles Swangin. And Black Sheep. Lol

[@ronnisaunders6217]

Love Love Love it !! I can hear my Daddy singing from Heaven .... Can you try BARBARA MANDRELL ... When Country Wasn't Cool ....OAK RIDGE BOYS ...American Made 🇺🇸 ... GEORGE JONES ... Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes and WHITE LIGHTNING .... Many Blessings and Love guys. Keep Rocking 🎵🎶🎤🎸🎹🎻🥁

[@sheilafreisthler4421]

My now adult kids loved this when they were young. I think it was the first country song they ever enjoyed!

[@christarpley6861]

They have been singing for years and still singing today they have even came close to my home town

[@lovcymaribeth4081]

Richard Streban was a back up singer for Elvis. There is a video showing Elvis, Richard and JD Stamps singing gospel music around the piano.

[@mikejones-qk2ou]

2:00, the guy on far right is the Bass voice

[@marksanders8028]

Love you guys.

[@sherribrock2726]

It’s actually the cleanest cut looking guy that has the deep voice. He is the one with the dar hair with no mustache!

[@cbogolo]

Fu for playing this. Everytime I even see the name of this song it's stuck in my head for days. Lol

[@kimberleyjohnson6120]

Richard Sternan also sang bass for Elvis before joining the Oaks...

[@stevefriery9086]

Joe Bonsall is the primary singer on this song. The bass singer, Richard Sterban, actually sang backup for Elvis late in the King's career. Great band. Try these: Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight, Y'all Come Back Saloon, Dream On, or American Made.

[@angusrocks939]

the first and only time i attended an oakridge boys concert was in 1982 i think? it was whilst i was attending a boy scout jamboree in virginia. this song, elvira, was new but i had heard it on the radio. man was it fun to "giddy up a oom bop a mamma..... high yo silver... get awaaay" that day. but what really made the day was Burl Ives opened the show. yes the man who had narrated and sang everything on "rudolph the red nosed reindeer", that i had been watching every year since i was 3 months old. i will never forget that day. he even did "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly". life was simpler back then. just sayin'.

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥I have an Auntie Elvira!! Love her with my whole heart!

[@crazytrain6775]

That’s Fire!

[@davejenkins2660]

Love the vibe and energy 🤟

[@michaelpoore8368]

Oak Ridge Tennessee is not too far from me here in S. Kentucky. These guys were a great 80s country group.

[@thecaptleefanbatman9130]

Our oldie station plays this a lot. I crank up volume and sing a long.

[@thomaswhitten2537]

Duane Allen is 75. Pennsylvania-born(Lead singer/mustache) Joe Bonsall is 69. The Alabama-born(Bass Singer,Dark headed,clean cut) William Lee Golden is 79(Singer Long beard) New Jersey-born Richard Sterban is 75(Singer,Lighter color hair,clean cut beard)

[@lefty3141591]

A fun group. I hope you react to more of their music. I'd suggest: Bobbie Sue Everyday Leavin' Louisiana In The Broad Daylight. Thanks for a fun reaction.

[@roydownes2458]

nice to see you guys having so much fun with this one.

[@lisahartman805]

Grew up listening to these Guy's! I actually saw them in concert. 🥰🎶💖🫶

[@ronalddaily2586]

When I first heard this song I thought it was the bearded guy to. Country music was good in 60s & 70s. But I was into rock n roll cause of my big sister, I'm loving it.I also enjoy some songs before my time to. I was born 1960. Love 50s. I totally enjoy y'all's reaction to history's find good music. Not into country music,but this is my favorite on country music side. Like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

[@bjm9071]

I always thought it was funny that this "country song" featured lead singer Joe Bonsall and Richard Sterban (with the deep voice) who are both from the Philadelphia area!

[@nickytembo4572]

The rivingtons in 1961 did a song called papa ooh mow mow that’s where the oak ridge boys got that phrase check it out also a fun song

[@davidellis7786]

Sad that we don't have music like this anymore

[@themiseducationofme6998]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@momD612]

Now ya gotta see HOME FREE doing this with them! It's amazing! 🥰🥰

[@rebeccalipps23]

You two would also enjoy "Flowers on the Wall" by The Statler Brothers. Another close harmony group with this song on the soundtrack of Pulp Fiction.

[@thewindle]

I will always remember many moons ago, I was walking through the assembly area, somewhere between 15 to 20 different lines working. The lines that had radio's, had different stations, different music playing but this song came on the Country Music station and every radio changed to that station because everyone loved Elvira.

[@MrTech226]

Shawn & Mel I have a suggestion for both of you, as you finish seeing and reacting to Oak Ridge Boys. Their fans, acapella group, Home Free collaborated with them on this classic. Home Free & Oak Ridge Boys on Elvira.....awesome video. This video is on Home Free's YT channel.

[@lavender_granny]

i cant even begin to tell yall how popular this song was, and honestly it still is cuz everyone who hears it loves it. i was about 15 yrs old when it came out and my cousin and i sang it constantly. you should check out the video of Home Free doing this song with the Oak Ridge Boys. it is great!

[@donnabroaddus5611]

My parents loved the Oak Ridge boys! I can actually see them singing it in my mind. Both have been gone several years now! Too fun to remember

[@TheRealKymiPoo]

😂I have not heard this song since I was kid!

[@mildredpierce4506]

Elvira mistress of the dark was still on television so when this Sun came out, I thought of her. That was once I realized they were saying Elvira.

[@realcountry3463]

The oak ridge boys are most known for elvira

[@mildredpierce4506]

When this song came out, I thought they were saying “well😂 fire it up“.

[@matthewholloway3894]

Rest in peace, Joe.

[@richarddeocio]

RIP Joe bonsall

[@carollittle1059]

They were huge and great singers.

[@pattytyndall1021]

Ooh…please check out Home Free singing this alongside the Oak Ridge Boys…all acapella!

[@ghstdnsr]

Just saw Home Free sing it a few days ago live and of course at the end Tim did what he does best, Bust your eardrums.

[@pattytyndall1021]

@@ghstdnsr that’s awesome!

[@lindanicholson950]

I listened to this song much while I was pregnant with my last kid, I was sure he'd be born recognizing it. He's 41 years old now and says he never felt that he knew it.

[@larrylucas1079]

The Oak Ridge Boys has another great song called "American Made."

[@mikesavage2114]

Forewarning! Sad song lol but it's beautiful! "I'll Be True To You".

[@doloresvargas6450]

It makes you want to think about Halloween.Tony

[@melindalehan2060]

Always respect Oak Ridge boys they gave back them and blind boys Alabama give and gave out Feed the Children back in 90's and 2000's. probably earlier too, they sing a lot of gospel songs

[@carolgranados4892]

Check out the collaboration they did with Home Free of this song

[@halidenenberg1449]

If you liked this song, you need to listen to their song "Bobbie Sue".

[@annemaloney5243]

Also, try The Gatlin Bros, All The Gold In California. Just as much fun as this one.

[@donnabeagle3999]

Great song! You should listen to American made by the oak ridge boys it’s another great sond

[@serenadiimmel9214]

They do a great version of this song with home free.

[@doloresvargas6450]

They have it goin' on.Tony

[@victorcowboywest]

Give a listen to the Oak Ridge Boys duet with Home Free of this song. ( Oak Ridge Boys had a special request to sing with HF)

[@dennyhobbs6977]

Google Elvira she will set anybody's heart on fire. Lol

[@NeptuneLady1957]

There is country in this city girl’s soul! Love the Oak Ridge Boys and “Elvira” Giddy up..omm papa omm mow mow..(that pays homage to a song called “Papa-omm-mow-mow” by The Rivingtons from 1963. A black and white “video” shows 5 apes dancing as if that is supposed to be more palatable than the guys singing it. So disrespectful and f-d up. Did you know the original album covers for black artists did not show the artists, even Motown? A little music history for you! (Edited to correct typos)

[@reneseguin1200]

Another fun song from that group is Bobby Sue.

[@jgn1326]

Since ya'll like Home Free they do a duet with The Oak Ridge Boys to this song, ya'll should check it out.

[@davejenkins2660]

Lol everyone thinks it's the bearded guy. I show people the photo and ask who they think is the bass vocal👍

[@cnicole5065]

When I was a kid I told my pastor's wife that I wanted to sing at church she asked me was I sure and I said yes soooo, she put me up by the altar and gave me the microphone where I proceeded to sing this🤣🤣 I was 3 years old!!!! Check out their version with Home Free

[@MrEQ2009]

Goat this is the song

[@SuperAdviceGuy]

The Oak Ridge Boys. Dream on please

[@larryunsworth9573]

Is there any bass voices in music today..I don't listen to much except what is being played in department stores so I really don't know. They are missing out if they don't use bass anymore.

[@RobertRRay]

Suggestion for you guys...the song "Travelin Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks....PS it will make you cry...

[@MAustinN]

"Tequila Sheila"

[@raymondhatfield2057]

Home Free does this song with the Oak Ridge Boys you need to check it out 4:37

[@pennyyoung3166]

Another song they sing my baby is American made

The Coasters sounded like this somewhat, they could have done this song...therefore as novel as the song was, the funny lyrics and style was NOTHING new at the time. See the Coasters' "Searchin, " if you don't believe me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn-WYWqpqKx_q8U

[@carrieclark1604]

Had a really hard time hearing you. The song was loud, but your voices were quiet.
