    I always thought that Katy Perry's "Roar" was the greatest jungle music video ever. I stand corrected.

    This guy was a genius not only with music but his comedy along with it . Absolutely timeless . My favorite is about the Mississippi squirrel.

    Oh how I remember that song in 69 on a 45. I memorized all the words the day baught it with money I made cutting grass. It catipulted me into stardum! The 5th grade tallent show is where I made my debut lip singing Guitarzan. The choreography was top-notch, I sat up an hour past my bedtime working on it. I was the only student that received a standing ovation including the teachers.. and the rest is history... You can imagine how incredible the story has become with 53 years under my belt to perfect it! Thank you Ray

    Ray turns 81 this year, and his wit is still as sharp as ever.

    Ray S. Is still alive. Jane - last name is Porter, that’s all I know. Ray was no rapper. This was pure silliness, back in the day. Always my fav, Gitarzan. Ray could sing every part when needed. Showed up on multiple tv shows back then. I thank You Tube for showing it available.

    I can not believe this came out in 1969...51 years ago. I was 15 years old then and a sophomore in high school. Now that I am 66 years old senior citizen this song still makes me laugh and boogie. It also went to number #8 on the Billboard Charts in 1969.

    In the 1960s/1970s I played in a family country-music family band. My sister was on drums, brothers were on lead and bass guitar, my mom and dad sang, and I was on the keyboards. We all sang together though and played at least every weekend in every honky tonk and bar in Alaska. This song was one the audience's favorite! My sister on drums sang as Gitarzan's girlfriend and each of us had our parts too. Another one we performed was 'Freddy Feel and His Funky Little Five-Piece Band." OMG - the people roared with laughter. Those were the days that were fun. Thanks Ray Stevens for the entertainment and laughter - I still have your vinyl albums! You're a national treasure to be sure.

    For some reason, Ray Stevens sense of humor has always stayed the same.
