When I was a bigger Cash nut I watched him in Dr Quinn and Stagecoach, he underplays his characters and it adds a level of mystery and charm - no Lawrence Olivier, but pretty good
@@Simon-yp7rv I think he means that he is not as legendary as (for example) Elvis or others. But if Elvis was King of Rock n Roll than Johnny Cash was King of fuc**ng everything 😉
@@charleshesketh7218 Thank you! I wonder if he wrote any of Johnny's other goofy songs. I love this video too - looks like they spent about $5000 making it. Kind of like Ray Stevens' videos.
He was real for this one. This song feels like a coded message to his audience when he tells them that what you see isn't what you get. The audience isn't getting the authentic Johnny Cash from his place under the record labels, but something more akin to the chicken that happens to be performing his songs.
No man Cash was just that kind of guy he was a funny hard working family man and a real solid American he sang the songs he wanted when he wanted to. Only whrn he was younger did he partially let the label infulence his music once he blew up he used his music and voice to be political and speak on what is right. Check out " what is truth" by Cash
Moreover, the idea that when an artist has sold out or aged and became a different person it may be time to start listening to the new generations that carry on the true legacy of those original artists
0:46 something about Johnny Cash dressed in colors, carrying a guitar, ridiculous boots and a cape walking into the bank like he owns the joint made my day
Most people: Its so hard to make a good song and join a record label Johnny Cash: Damn it it's so hard to make a bad song so I can get out of a record label.
Not sure where this story got started but it's not true. He wasn't trying to get out of his Columbia contract, They were legitimately looking for a novelty to song to try to recapture some of the buzz. It didn't work. It was basically the last straw for Columbia.
Classic! I love it 💜 Have always loved Johnny's sense of humour - he wasn't afraid to be goofy and have fun, and share it with us. I could watch this again and again 👍😊
I can't believe how imaginative this song is, t's so rare in the music business. It's right up there with "One piece at a time" and "The one on the right is on the left"
Love this, music is a great healer and comedy is also a great healer put both together and you have the perfect medicine😃 i hope you are both still doing well, theres always folk out there for you❤️❤️
He wrote and recorded this as an F U to Columbia Records when they told him they werent renewing his contract, but that he still owed em one more single. He wrote it thinking theyd never release it bc it was so goofy, but they did..
@@RobK32 On youtube. Lots of people are picking up their dog & racking its front paws like a shotgun while lipsynching to this song as the dog looks around in utter confusion.
Na, I bet he was quite proud of it.. I would have been. . It was a deliberate shot to the top brass at Columbia Records and not only did it achieve its intentions but it's also one of the best songs he has ever put out IMHO. The Don King reference is simply priceless.
Same here! I think you can get old as a turtle , but you will always find Johnny Cash Songs that you didn’t know! It’s a little bit like he’s watching us from above at drops some songs from time to time 😂👍 God bless the man in black
@SirApollo89 im on two different camps with 100+ NA member both current addicts and earlier addicts every year, people would be suprised if they just sat down and talked w em
He wrote this song because he was unhappy with his contract with Columbia. He thought "I'll make a horrible song so they will end my contract" exact opposite happened.
I was actually stunned when 20 year old friend askd me Have you heard this song? I said girl, i heard this song 12 years ago for the first time and still love it. Love from Finland 🇫🇮
Stick 'em up, everybody, I'm robbing this place! Put all of your money in my guitar case! Don't nobody move, and don't nobody reach for that door! This was one of my favorite songs growing up :D
i find it cool that Johnny Cash can take two words that dont rhyme and put them into a verse just fine. The way he sings it makes it work like the lines, "Last Monday" and "Lots of money".
I'll admit it's kind of a sloppy rhyme.....but his southern accent helps soften its harshness. Add his charisma and talent to that mix and the results are .... well.... badass!
“Stick em up everybody I’m robbing this place, drop all of your money in my guitar case, and don’t nobody reach for that door.” Is my test to every friend of mine if they are cultured or not.
This goes to show you that the WORST song that Johnny Cash ever put out would be considered the BEST that these 'new country artist' could ever release.

First time hearing this. Didn't know this song existed.
it is... quite surprising
He purposely tried to make this song a bad one due to his record label treating him Bad.
@pasquale davino Say what now? 🤔
He was in a Colombo movie many years ago accused of killing his wife with a parachute, 😁
@pasquale davino It is basically ¨A Boy named Sue¨ with a little different chorus.
I've never seen this before I new he had a sense of humour it is funny he spoofed himself what a man rip Mr cash
He hated being signed with Columbia Records so he wrote this song so people would hate it but they liked it.
Nobody's gonna comment about how they said new instead of knew
@@aquadiamond4384 meh. Looks like they translated it so a little forgiveness.
This song makes me think of some of the stuff Alice Cooper was making in the 1970s.

He could make frank horrigan cry
He could make legate lanius reconsider war

I like how Johnny Cash, the man in black, seems like a tough guy but he's got a soft funny side
I love when you can tell an artist is enjoying themself. Some of the best work comes out of those moments.
Most people: Its so hard to make a good song and join a record label
Johnny Cash: Damn it it's so hard to make a bad song so I can get out of a record label.
True
He tried making a bad song and here I am addicted to it.
the record label got him out and this was his "good bye" as he wrote in his memories.

I haven't been this impressed since Disco Duck 😀
A drug-fueled sense of humor is the best.
This has instantly become one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs. You can clearly see his dorky sense of humor in this.
Such a shame that Johnny Chicken passed away before I could experience one of his shows. Rest In Peace.
