The original was from Ray Stevens, who was a novelty songwriter who actually started before Weird Al. and still creates to this day. You should do a deep dive on his repertoire. Guitarzan, It's Me Again Margaret, The Streak, are just drops in the lake of his creations. Oh, and BTW, check the animation. The little boy looks like BamBam from the Flintstones, the grandma looks like Granny, who had a dog named Precious, and the parents are The Jetsons, as well as the background people are the band itself.
As a Southern Woman™️ who grew up in a family that loved their music and parody, I grew up on Ray Stevens. I absolutely adore this. Home Free did an amazing job, and the animation has the same feel to it as the original mv. Mississippi Squirrel Revival was always one of my favorites. 😂 Even if just in your free time, I recommend listening to his music. I think you'll get a kick out of it.
That was such a fun rendition of this song. And loved the animation! Tim is perfect for the narrating of this song. This was originally done by Ray Stevens in 1984. There is a live version of this you should check out. He is a country & pop singer-songwriter & comedian known for his novelty hits such as "Gitarzan", "Ahab The Arab", "Along Came Jones", "The Streak" & others. But he also did a few serious songs such as "Misty" & "Everything Is Beautiful" which he won a Grammy for in 1970.
The call and response bits in this are fantastic! BTW, the guys falling asleep are the HF guys. Chance got the blush when the sailor was mentioned. This is a great video, but you really need to watch the original with Ray Stevens. I work for a church and we had a bushy tailed rodent attend a funeral-and he was late for the service so he ran up front to view the body while the clergyman was getting ready to give the benediction. Luckily, the squirrel realized his faux pas of running around during a prayer, and stood up with perfect posture and folded his little paws under his chin. I guess he got embarrassed because he took off running under the pews of this well attended service. People were jerking their feet off the floor and loudly gasping as the little fellow passed by them in his search for the exit. The pastor and the organist literally fell out of the sanctuary door (right outside of my office) doubled over with laughter. They had held it together as long as they could.
Surprised you didn’t recognize the guys in church, nor some of the animated characters(George, Judy & Elroy Jetson $ Granny from Sylvester & Tweety Bird); liked your review & glad how you spoke about the music, but in past(Brothers in Arms for on) you also made comments about the background; aside from enjoying the song, first thing I noticed were animated character. 🥰🥰❤️❤️🤗🤗
Did you notice Home Free in the video? They were the boys half asleep in the pews. You can easily make out Rob and Austin and Chance’s cheeks were blushing when sister Bertha was confessing. Lots of other cartoon characters from some of my childhood were there too. The little boy looks a little like Bam Bam from the Flintstones and his parents were the Jetsons. Really cute stuff! 🤣
Ray Stevens wrote and record the original version of this song in 1984. His video for it is very funny. Like a few others have said, you should react to some of his other songs. Most of his work is funny (Shriner’s Convention is very popular and actually loved by Shriners around the country) but he also does gospel and a song he wrote and released which kind of goes under the radar is the wonderful song “Everything is Beautiful”
The original song by Ray Stevens is from January 1969, and it was a hoot back then. Home Free kicked it up a notch. BTW, Ray has seen (and approved of) this version too! You may not have the background to recognize the cartoon characters, but dang it, you should have picked up on the Home Free characters in several sequences! The other characters look like they came from either The Jetsons, or The Flintstones; they're pretty interchangeable. I'm not sure who Sister Bertha Better-than-you came from but I'm sure it was also a cartoon feature.
Mortius… You need to go & look RAY STEVENS up &…check out some of this guys… & Fun…Funny do-dahs . He’s very funny .. &, wrote All of his stuff. One of my Favorites is: “ it’s me Margaret” … You need a laugh…check Ray out …Please 👍‼️🙃👌😂
Ray Stevens is a songwriting and comedic genius! HF did him proud. A bit of context if you react to The Streak. Stevens wrote this in 1974 (I think) when the nation was captivated by the phenomena of streaking ie running nude in a public area. Yeah, it was a big fad! Stevens' song was a hit on both country and pop charts.
My dad loved Ray Stevens and this song was one of his favorites; it always makes me nostalgic as well as laugh. Someone sang part of this song at my dad’s funeral in commemoration of him.
Great reaction as usual! This is a bizarre song. Ray Steven’s also sang the Streak. 😂. I hear you on the Crazier Life CD. There are a few really good gems though like Stand By Me, I’ve Seen and Your Man. I don’t see where you have reviewed their new Collaboration with Don McLean, Vincent. It’s to die for. I got to hear songs from Bastiens debut at the Rumble and Opry. While I will miss Austin, the Band chose well. He’s a genuinely nice person and sings those high notes. Plus he has that theatrical high energy on stage that they need. I’ll be seeing them a few days before you down the road in Redding. Now that I’ve heard their new sound, I’m back to being really excited about that. In the meantime Austin’s been putting out some cute songs. I’m hoping he can get videos going as well. 🎶💕
I think this is the most fun video that Home Free has done. I like that the cartoon people look sort 0f like Home Free too. You made me laugh so hard with your reaction and I so thank you for that. Ray Stevens has many hilarious songs that you should check out. Love your reactions Mortius
Although Ray Stevens was noted for his novelty songs ("Sittin'' up with the dead", "Along Came Jones"), he also has a gorgeous album of gospel music, the song "Everything is Beautiful" & his rendition of "Misty" is unforgettable. I love this song & video (the name of the church makes me laugh every time). BTW, you won't see Austin in October; Adam Bastien has now started with HF & appears in a video with them in his debut appearance at the Grand Ole Opry.
I had listened to this song from Home Free but not the original so when you mentioned then name of the artist I looked him up and watched his video of this song. I had never heard of him and I will check out more of his work for sure.
Lovely to see you back reacting to Home Free, and I do get it, it hasn't been as exciting with the remakes, though the new version of Your Man and A Little Bit of Everything, which feature Chance more heavily, are much more interesting, imo. And I'm definitely looking forward to your reaction to Bastien - from what we've heard already he's absolutely got the voice.
I saw a little clip on Instagram, dude definitely seems like a powerhouse! Excited to see them live this fall, and genuinely excited for whatever is coming after Crazyer Life :) (And thank you for sticking with the channel even with a long Hone Free break; even if I get to it less, I’m never leaving behind the channel’s acapella roots, I promise)
It's totally fair if you're not into Crazyer Life! In fact, I've had to get used to it, too. And frankly, while I've come to really like some of the new recordings (especially Wake me up), I didn't love all of their music videos so far (especially Anyway the wind blows because the original video is so super cute). So I kinda feel you, even though I agree only partially.
This is a rare case where I actually like the original better than the acapella cover. Although a good chunk of that is the original _video_ which is hilarious. And yes, Ray's lyrics can be a bit on the wild side at times. I mean, hello, Sittin' Up With the Dead.
it would be unreasonable to expect that EVERY song is a banger and the new best the band released. same with any form of art, movies, performances and so on. it is just unrealistic to expect perfection in everything you see, hear or do.
generally Darren is credited with arranging everything lately, but it sounds like he does the heavy lifting and then accepts input from all of the guys.
Ok, a few hints....the guy sleeping in the chair is the narrator all grown up. Whoever did the artwork has a heavy Hanna-Barbera style influence. As mentioned by others, Home Free is sleeping in the pews. Listen to the original and this one a few more times, the lyrics are even funnier than the bits you managed to touch on. Like "The First Self-Righteous Church"!
Loved this! I think anyone who has attended any church regularly knows a Sister Bertha Better-Than-You. Highly recommend checking out Ray Stevens' original video. HF and the animators did great but it's even funnier in live action. Or any of Ray's catalog, for that matter. Look forward to seeing you in October!
Great reaction! Since you don't know Ray Stevens - you will get such a laugh from The Streak and Hello Margaret.. or maybe even increase your confusion with I Am My Own Grandpa [look for the one with charts..]
In general, Darren Rust is the arranger for Home Free. They have called him their sixth member. Only if someone else does an arrangement do they list them. I totally get not being completely into their re-recordings of their older material. Some of them don't speak to me quite as much. I think their decision to re-record has to do with Austin's decision to leave active touring and the need to level set as ABB comes into the band.
Totally get your point at 1:20. You being someone who specialises in acapella arrangements (correct if wrong), catch the interesting choices groups make with runs, melodies, and techniques. Some songs like all artists have, are simply nice to listen to but you may not pick up something worth making a whole video about.
If you are unfamiliar with the incomparable Ray Stevens, you need to dip into his repertoire. Start with "Everything is Beautiful" so you understand just what an amazing singer he really is, then check out his version of Mississippi Squirrel Revival and any of his other works.
Oh Mortius, you need to start listening to Ray Stevens. He released this one in the mid 80's. This must have pretty much blown your buffer, because you missed a lot of the funniest lyrics. I'm glad it made you laugh.
You need to watch some Ray Stevens, he wrights and sings these and they are so fun. Like The Streak! I'm hoping that it was not based on real life......LOL
I just looked through your Home Free playlist, and it looks like you haven’t done their cover of Travelin’ Soldier. It was released three years ago, which seems to be right about the time you started doing this. Heads up: it has one of your favorite things, and you might want to have tissues handy.
Ray Stevens put this out in 1984. If you've ever heard "The Streak" you'll know him. If you ever need a laugh listen to him. He is amazing and his videos are hilarious
So glad to see you back to reacting to some Home Free. I really really really hope you will react to Vincent Home Free ft Don McLean it is amazing also they are releasing as they said the last 3 videos that they did with Austin first one to be released this Friday which is Your Man.😊
You should check out other Ray Stevens videos. They are all old, mostly made in the 60-70s. My personal suggestion is Sitting Up With the Dead. Ray is basically a Story Teller, so Sing Speaks through them. Another like Ray, is Jim Stafford. For him, I suggest Wild Wood Weed.
You need to listen to the original done by Ray Stevens. He has another that's called the streak . If you watch it cause it will have you laughing at the silliness of it .
It's okay not to vibe all of their songs or albums. My least liked album from them (aside from Christmas albums) is Dive Bar Saints. I really enjoy some of them and the rest is fine to listen to (just my personal preference). And I don't like Christmas songs in general (with very few exeptions). Which of the songs of the new album did you try and didn't vibe? No need to to suggest one of those they released of it until now if you already tried. By the way, they release Your Man this friday. I think you might also like Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget). It's got a similar story-telling vibe as this one. And it's an original (by Tim). I also enjoyed Remember My Name (original by Austin) and Road Sweet Road (by Austin and Tim). Also, What's It To You on Austin's channel by Austin, Tim, Jeffrey East and Chris Chatham. Or My Maria, also on Austin's channel featuring Tim and Chris Chatham on the vocals. I'm a bit surprised that you haven't reacted to the last one yet.
So sorry you can't monetize HF videos. I'm pretty sure that's all coming from the distribution company, as the guys themselves have previously said that they love people reacting to their videos. Anyway, I recommend Man of Constant Sorrow, Amazing Grace (ft. Peter Hollins), How Great Thou Art, & Children, Go Where I Send Thee (with Kenny Rogers). And for something different, check out all male acapella group The Vocal Majority. Their rendition of Betelehemu is simply breathtaking.
I have to admit that this is not one of my favorites, although I do enjoy their humor. On the re-recording issue, I think the songs you mentioned are all from the "As Seen on TV" album which reprises their Sing-off performances. I wonder if you would enjoy the ones on the "Crazy(er) Life" album. Those seem to have a much richer sound than the originals. I especially like I've Seen and the newly released version of Your Man. Give one a try.
Dude as we all know we all go through phases of music, but I’m with you I love Home Free but that album just doesn’t work for me either… doesn’t make them any less amazing, just is. Any way great reaction. Thanks for all the fun. ❤
The original was from Ray Stevens, who was a novelty songwriter who actually started before Weird Al. and still creates to this day. You should do a deep dive on his repertoire. Guitarzan, It's Me Again Margaret, The Streak, are just drops in the lake of his creations. Oh, and BTW, check the animation.

Guitarzan always cracks me up with him doing all the voices
I always loved "Too Drunk To Fish"
Actually, that boy is based on Elroy Jetson, rather than Bam Bam Rubble. They were both created by Hanna-Barbeara.
Ballad of the Blue Cyclone!
There's the other Granny cartoon character that had Tweety as a pet that looks like her as well
As a Southern Woman™️ who grew up in a family that loved their music and parody, I grew up on Ray Stevens. I absolutely adore this. Home Free did an amazing job, and the animation has the same feel to it as the original mv. Mississippi Squirrel Revival was always one of my favorites. 😂 Even if just in your free time, I recommend listening to his music. I think you'll get a kick out of it.
I mean, if you've ever been in a revival/Pentecostal style service, a squirrel in the pants might seem like a reasonable explanation 🤣
I always felt like Ray Stevens must have had a few experiences with what my mom called "pew jumpers" 😂
That was such a fun rendition of this song. And loved the animation! Tim is perfect for the narrating of this song. This was originally done by Ray Stevens in 1984. There is a live version of this you should check out.

But he also did a few serious songs such as "Misty" & "Everything Is Beautiful" which he won a Grammy for in 1970.
Don't forget Juanita and Too Drunk to Fish!
I loved Sitting Up With the Dead. Ray Steven's is a funny and gifted entertainer.
I also loved Southern Air which featured Jerry Clower and Minnie Pearl
The call and response bits in this are fantastic! BTW, the guys falling asleep are the HF guys. Chance got the blush when the sailor was mentioned. This is a great video, but you really need to watch the original with Ray Stevens.

Look in the foreground you will see all the Home Free guys.
The first time I heard the original version we actually had a squirrel in our church sanctuary
Ray Steven's even commented on this, he loved it!
You really need to check out Ray Stevens just for pure entertainment value. If you want laughs, I guarantee that you will get them with Ray.
Surprised you didn’t recognize the guys in church, nor some of the animated characters(George, Judy & Elroy Jetson $ Granny from Sylvester & Tweety Bird); liked your review & glad how you spoke about the music, but in past(Brothers in Arms for on) you also made comments about the background; aside from enjoying the song, first thing I noticed were animated character. 🥰🥰❤️❤️🤗🤗
I really like the new release of "Your Man". Chance sounds so good. Video, still with Austin, drops on Friday.
Did you notice Home Free in the video? They were the boys half asleep in the pews. You can easily make out Rob and Austin and Chance’s cheeks were blushing when sister Bertha was confessing.

Sister Bertha-Better-Than-You looked like one of the teachers on Recess.
@@DennisKovacich Thanks! I never watched Recess so that explains why I didn't know. I'm 68. :)
@@richarddaugherty8583, I’m 62, and saw it sometimes with my sons.
Ms Finster is the name you are looking for

I'm so glad you're reacting to this! One of my all time favorite Ray Stevens songs! 💖
NEED to see the original Ray Stevens! I think he also does I Am My Own Grandpa.
Ray's video is funny as F. U gotta watchit.
I would LOVE to see you react to the original creator! He is awesome!

You should do Home Free's actual PARODY song "Quarantine". It plays off of a Billy Joel classic.
This is a rare case where I actually like the original better than the acapella cover. Although a good chunk of that is the original _video_ which is hilarious.
And yes, Ray's lyrics can be a bit on the wild side at times. I mean, hello, Sittin' Up With the Dead.
Yes! Finally another HF reaction. ❤
it would be unreasonable to expect that EVERY song is a banger and the new best the band released. same with any form of art, movies, performances and so on.
it is just unrealistic to expect perfection in everything you see, hear or do.

Finally someone of the analysis youtubers who will cover this! 🤩 Sooo looking forward to it!
I've been to Pascagoula, it's probably a true story!
Ok, a few hints....the guy sleeping in the chair is the narrator all grown up. Whoever did the artwork has a heavy Hanna-Barbera style influence.

Oh, as good as this is, you really ought to watch the original Ray Stevens video with live actors. It's hilarious!
#HOMEFREE
If you hadn’t noticed, some cartoon characters are copied from Hannah-Barbera cartoons. Except for Home Free in the front pews.
How nice to see you!!! Thanks for watching this one, loved the reaction.
The animation is reminiscent of The Jetsons cartoon.
I love Home Free's version of Man Of Constant Sorrow and their Sea Shanty Medley
Great reaction! Since you don't know Ray Stevens - you will get such a laugh from The Streak and Hello Margaret.. or maybe even increase your confusion with I Am My Own Grandpa [look for the one with charts..]
I love Ray Steven's. He is a singer comedian. You should react to "Hey Margaret" and his original of this.
"Classical Chaos - VoicePlay ft. Rachel Potter" GO!!
Recorded and on Patreon! Will be on RUclips next Wednesday!
The original video was live action and is absolutely hilarious
In general, Darren Rust is the arranger for Home Free. They have called him their sixth member. Only if someone else does an arrangement do they list them.

Some songs like all artists have, are simply nice to listen to but you may not pick up something worth making a whole video about.
Based on what I've read in other reviewer's comments section for this song, Sister Bertha is based on Miss Finster from the cartoon series Recess.
The original music video character looked like this, too.
loved this one ❤
If you are unfamiliar with the incomparable Ray Stevens, you need to dip into his repertoire. Start with "Everything is Beautiful" so you understand just what an amazing singer he really is, then check out his version of Mississippi Squirrel Revival and any of his other works.
i'll be just a few days behind, catching the Oct 17 show in Spokane. We'll both get an early look at the first tour with the new lineup.
You missed the Home Free guys as characters in the video. I can understand though, because it was a lot to take in at once.
Thank you for reacting to HF even though you don’t get monetized for doing so. This was fun.
Why do the parents at the end look like the Jetsons LOL you should check out Ray Stevens, he's great!!!
This is a fun, fun song that I love! I’ve listened to it many times! I’m glad you’ve loved it too! ❤❤❤
Mortius: What is happening right now?
Me: Welcome to Ray's brain xD
You should definitely check out Ray Steven’s songs, particularly “The streak” and “It’s me Margret”
Love #HomeFree
Ray Stephens, Ray Stephens, Ray Stephens!!!
Oh Mortius, you need to start listening to Ray Stevens. He released this one in the mid 80's. This must have pretty much blown your buffer, because you missed a lot of the funniest lyrics. I'm glad it made you laugh.

So glad to see you back to reacting to some Home Free.
I really really really hope you will react to Vincent Home Free ft Don McLean it is amazing also they are releasing as they said the last 3 videos that they did with Austin first one to be released this Friday which is Your Man.😊
You should check out other Ray Stevens videos. They are all old, mostly made in the 60-70s. My personal suggestion is Sitting Up With the Dead. Ray is basically a Story Teller, so Sing Speaks through them. Another like Ray, is Jim Stafford. For him, I suggest Wild Wood Weed.
Thumbs up for the Home Free video.
Snapback -Home free
Meant to be- Home Free
You need to listen to the original done by Ray Stevens. He has another that's called the streak . If you watch it cause it will have you laughing at the silliness of it .
Thx for the reaction
#HOMEFREE
It's okay not to vibe all of their songs or albums. My least liked album from them (aside from Christmas albums) is Dive Bar Saints. I really enjoy some of them and the rest is fine to listen to (just my personal preference). And I don't like Christmas songs in general (with very few exeptions).
Which of the songs of the new album did you try and didn't vibe? No need to to suggest one of those they released of it until now if you already tried.
By the way, they release Your Man this friday.
I think you might also like Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget). It's got a similar story-telling vibe as this one. And it's an original (by Tim). I also enjoyed Remember My Name (original by Austin) and Road Sweet Road (by Austin and Tim).
Also, What's It To You on Austin's channel by Austin, Tim, Jeffrey East and Chris Chatham. Or My Maria, also on Austin's channel featuring Tim and Chris Chatham on the vocals. I'm a bit surprised that you haven't reacted to the last one yet.
So sorry you can't monetize HF videos. I'm pretty sure that's all coming from the distribution company, as the guys themselves have previously said that they love people reacting to their videos. Anyway, I recommend Man of Constant Sorrow, Amazing Grace (ft. Peter Hollins), How Great Thou Art, & Children, Go Where I Send Thee (with Kenny Rogers). And for something different, check out all male acapella group The Vocal Majority. Their rendition of Betelehemu is simply breathtaking.
I completely forgot about this song
I have to admit that this is not one of my favorites, although I do enjoy their humor. On the re-recording issue, I think the songs you mentioned are all from the "As Seen on TV" album which reprises their Sing-off performances. I wonder if you would enjoy the ones on the "Crazy(er) Life" album. Those seem to have a much richer sound than the originals. I especially like I've Seen and the newly released version of Your Man. Give one a try.
If you like this You should watch Ray stevens original and his other music videos lol
I highly recommend watching the original, dont have to be a reaction, but it will make more sense
Truly, G-d DOES work in mysterious ways 😂
New track YA NA HA "GET UP" 🙏
the original is even better
I was wondering when you'd get around to this one.
💜
This is so cute. You should ck out I've Seen
❤️❤️
4:20 but i like complaining in the comments >-> granted i dont think ive ever complained in the comments but still XD
Dude as we all know we all go through phases of music, but I’m with you I love Home Free but that album just doesn’t work for me either… doesn’t make them any less amazing, just is.
Any way great reaction. Thanks for all the fun. ❤
Please watch and react to the Ray Stevens version, I've been a fan of his for most of my life and love watching people react to his videos!
Here's the original that Home Free were covering: ruclips.net/video/K16fG1sDagU/видео.html Enjoy!
❤
#homefree
please react to home frees version of american pie
You need to react to the original video by Ray Stevens. It loses something in the animation. The live version is better.
😂😂😂😂
