Hey Shawn and Mel 👋 don't think you noticed this but as the cab drove off, the sign in front of the house said it was a future home for runaway girls by Fancy Rae Baker, In loving memory of my mom, "To thine own self be true " 👍 Still love this song ♥️😊

[@jmcquown]

That was the same inscription on the locket Fancy placed on her mother's tombstone. "To thine own self be true".

[@heidislone]

I was gonna say the same thing

[@BigBabyJane]

I always cry when Reba says "In this life there's a lot of self righteous hypocrites that call me bad, they criticize mama for turning me out, no matter how little we had" I genuinely start to sob!!! And then sob some more.

[@j.woodbury412]

"You know I might have been born just plain white trash, but Fancy was my name!" I love that line, especially the determination in Reba's voice when she said that.. By the way, this song is a cover of a song originally recorded by Bobbie Gentry.

[@GoldenBuddah1972]

Shawn’s face when she said white trash!

[@debrasexton3956]

Shawn's facial reactions when he started realizing what was going down was priceless. 🤣 As many times as I've seen and heard this video and I cried again!

[@andream9191]

The look on your face when you realize what's about to happen is priceless.

[@alisonmatheson7118]

Reba is one hell of a storyteller. I would suggest The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. Damn good Reba song

[@howrued1500]

Agree!! But audio version not official video for first time listeners😉💜

[@momD612]

Yes!!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Most definitely!!!

[@XCross64]

that song was written by Bobby Russel and original sang by Vickie Lawrence in the early 70s. There was also a Movie, Shot in 1981 by the same name, staring Kristi McNichol, shot in my home town. Chattanooga, Tn.

[@TheGoauldApophis]

@@XCross64 Which was always weird to me because I know her from Mama's Family

[@rettathomas837]

Bobbie Gentry wrote it, but Reba McEntire slayed this song, this song is so deep, her mother didn’t want her to have the life she had, her husband left her and their two children, and they were going to die, I’m sure she raised her daughter to be a good girl, but reality was hitting her in the face, and it was only the option left for her daughter, so she took it and told her daughter don’t let me down , do something with your life, survive, Live.

[@kreiner1]

I was on the streets at 14 alone, not it has been 36 years I'm ok now. This song hits me hard.

[@thesweetestteas.4534]

You made it out! You were strong enough to overcome it, that's all that matters! You are still standing!!!

[@kreiner1]

@@thesweetestteas.4534 I wasn't strong enough on my own, I had people hold me up when I couldn't stand.

[@nickbuchanan190]

God bless you sweetie! I just want you to know that you are strong, beautiful, and very resilient! Kudos to you and I will always stand by you!!

[@nickbuchanan190]

​@@kreiner1and that's okay. We all need help from time to time. I give you a great deal of credit for getting through that. That takes a great deal of courage and stamina. Kudos to you!!

[@user-rj6ii2hg8d]

You know what I like most about reactions to songs like this? They teach us EMPATHY for each other! Not only do we feel empathy for the fictional characters in the songs, but through music, we come to understand that despite our differences in ages, our differences in races, and even our differences in religions and nationalities, we’re all human. We share the same problems, the same feelings, and we face the same challenges. The better we can make life for the least among us, the richer we can all be. Thanks for the reaction and for being who you are!

[@walkofnails2923]

I was INVESTED in this story when the song came out. I had some rough teen years and could empathize with Fancy. She had very little choice. Her mom is sick & dying, her father gone, no other family to take her in, no money, and she’s 18 so no foster home or benefits minors might get. I was so happy she was strong and made it through. I know a lot of people thought her mama was pimping her out, but mom knew Fancy would be alone and could only rely on herself to survive.

[@victorianewton2426]

Benefits that foster kids get? As an ex foster kid I'd like to know what the benefits were. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[@walkofnails2923]

@@victorianewton2426 In my state the child receives free healthcare for most things and some college funds. If you were ever in foster care, you can be designated as an independent student which means you will be eligible for a pell grant. If you were in foster care because of the death of a parent, you may receive some social security benefits as well. It just all depends on the situation.

[@anjheidebrink]

Fancy, story or not, was the true definition of a Hustler 👊💪🌟 Most of us have to hustle in life just to live; Reba understands this 🥰❤️

[@victorianewton2426]

It's a story about a mother prostituting her own child to a bunch of strange men in the hopes of turning a dollar. I'm glad you find that empowering though.

[@anjheidebrink]

@@victorianewton2426 Hi!, Sorry that you found my opinion on this offensive but I don't think you understand the situation of doing whatever it takes to live. Maybe you've never had to choose between eating or putting a roof over your head or clothes on your back but for some of us, we've been dealt a bad hand in life & no matter how hard you try to dig yourself out of the hole, the dirt flies in faster than you can imagine. Myself, I've worked 3 jobs at once, while paying for 14 credit hours in a spring semester of college but had to take a beating just to have a bed to sleep in. Doesn't mean I slept with someone for money, but was humiliated constantly for trying to better myself. That was a long time ago but I remember climbing out & was lucky to have a roof, utilities & bologna sandwich once a day just to get by & that was before living in my car in a park & cleaning up in a gas station bathroom. One day when I write about the circumstances, I will send you the book & I hope that you will have a little more compassion for my situation & others who have similar experiences. God Bless You and your family & Merry Christmas!!!

[@rhondabaker4580]

Exactly, you do what you have to

[@54nomore]

This is a cover of Bobbie Gentrys song "Fancy"(1969). Which you have reacted to a few weeks ago. Bobbie Gentry was a singer/songwriter and producer. One of the first women to have ever done that. Reba did a great job of Bobbie's song.

[@willowb1527]

Bobby Gentry is still missing. I think she just doesn't want anything to do with being a celebrity anymore.

[@wheelmanstan]

reba had music videos in country like michael jackson had them in pop, long intros and huge productions, good stuff, reba has that dolly parton level of magnetic super talent, everybody loves her, just look at how she steals the screen with attitude and charisma in this..she's a rarity I'm glad y'all get the song, some people blame the mother, dang shame, mom did all she could, they act like those days you could just get help like you can now, but this was the 30's when it took place I think

[@hollyharvey1986]

Being a Southern girl, from the Deep South, this song is one of my favs. RIP Mama Kay 9-14-59 - 11-14-2021.

[@dtaylor939]

Check out Reba McEntire and Linda Davis "Does He Love You?"

[@newlistfletcher2344]

You guys facial signs was priceless !! Someone else did this song and they did NOT get it !! You guys nailed it ! This kind of thing happens a LOT ! I will always love this song

[@TexasMagnolia]

Reba is our Generation’s Loretta Lynn.

[@joshsawicki6364]

Shawn is amazing in this, you can see him realizing what the song is about

[@GoldenBuddah1972]

He picked up on it quick

[@KingMaxMcqueen]

Y’all are like me when I hear Reba. To ME, she’s one of the GREAT storytellers of our time. “I wonder if that really happened?” Is because she’s SO convincing with her delivery. Some FAVES of mine are “He Gets That From Me”, “She Thinks His Name Was John” and of COURSE “The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia”. ALL GREATNESS!

[@poeslanding]

One of my favorite singers of all time! I got to see her in concert in Los Angeles. She changed outfits almost every other song to match the videos of the song she was singing including this one.

[@reactivereplays5666]

great story, thank you. I'm a rock fan but, Reba is truly special...

[@karendavis2668]

I loved to sing this when I was younger. I realize now why my mom didn't want her 11-year-old singing it. But now I see it as a coming of age story - including a lot of heartache. I've always felt empowered by it.

[@lordgenerias]

The emotion in her voice for this is on a level all Reba's. And the strings, the way they slowly built up as she sang "I knew what I had to do, and I made myself this solemn vow: I was gonna be a lady some day, though I didn't know when, or how", I get goosebumps every single time! This song, and much of what Reba sings, is one of the best examples I can give as to what country music is, at the very core. A story! Good music of any genre should be a story that people can relate to, and that is so rare these days, barely a dying ember of what was once a roaring fire. I'm glad to have been able to enjoy this kind of music in my youth. It helped shape some of who I am now.

[@gigga143]

Reba always tell a great story, I always love her songs, even ones that she redoes it is usually better than the original. and yes, you have been pronouncing her name correctly.

[@Deidra74]

The night the lights when out in Georgia is another good one by Reba!

[@howrued1500]

Y’all PLEASE check out Reba’s ‘She Thinks His Name Was John’. More great story telling with a very contemporary lessson. Y’all’s reaction had me in tears… when we grow up & become parents, we begin to understand and yes forgive some of the decisions and choices our own parents made. Beautiful, guys!💜 Stay safe & love much💖

When I saw her in concert in Lake Tahoe she opened with this song and the cab was on the stage.

I don't think she did. He was very animated. When he quickly moved up to the screen, pointing the finger into his headphone, turning his head, etc.

Amazing reaction.... I'm a rock fan but, Reba.... Speaks to me.... I'm in tears with you both. Thank you for sharing and being real.

[@christygill1632]

I absolutely love you both! You get it! You have to walk in someone shoes to understand the choices they have made or will make. My mother and father made choices for me (not like these, but still life-changing choices) that I found out about later in my adult life. Instead of getting mad & angry, I put myself in their shoes and realized exactly why they made those choices and I understood. They made me the person I am today, which I like to think is a good, kind, compassionate, yet strong and independent person. Love your perspective always💓💓💓

[@tomdanison234]

I loved the look of shock on your faces...... priceless !

[@jamanga59]

Reba is a superior story teller. You should react to "The Night The Lights Went Out In Goergia". It had a surprising ending.

[@bradjbourgeois73]

I'm not far from New Orleans and I cry every time I hear this song cause I know how many times this situation doesn't play out like this song!

Bobbie Gentry did the original song but her style and presentation was for 1960's television. Reba's video version along with her voice tells a more complete story, plus Reba also has a hell of a voice and acting ability.

[@scottycargo9003]

Hi guys next stop in the Reba rabbit hole HAS TO BE "Does He Love You?" All 3 versions in the correct order, first original version is a duet with Linda Davis from 1993,94? ORIGINAL MUSIC VIDEO! Secondly, the Kelly Clarkson live version from CMT Crossroads,and lastly, the 3rd and most recent, from Rebas new 3 cd set, which dropped just last month,is a version with the ultimate Dolly Parton. Both have been in the business for 90+ years combined and had NEVER recorded before this collaboration! But please please please react to all 3 in this order,and yes,it helps to view them in the correct order!!! Cannot wait. Let's just say the original starts things off with a blast! You'll understand what I mean by the end of the first video!!! God bless yall yall are authentic,awesome and warm and welcoming, like family to me! Sincerely, Scotty Cargo from bham, Alabama!

There are certain lines in 80s and 90s country songs that you just have to shout at the top of your lungs, and "I might of been born just plain white trash, but Fancy was my name" is 100% one of them.
