My family still quotes from this song. It's a good way to tell someone you don't want something if you use " I don't like it, and I don't wanna do it, it's tacky". Most times we'll use it just to be silly, this song has brought humor to my family for over 30 years.
I'd lent this tape to a shipmate back in 87 or so & for weeks afterwards,he talked like the guy wanting to "be a pirate like the Pirates of Penzance". The Chief looked at him kinda funny.
My Dad bought this cassette tape when it first came out and him and I sat at the kitchen table and listened to the whole thing...we laughed so hard. Good memory for me LOL
I still remember the original version of this from the 70's. My Dad and I used to listen to it on (ready?) an 8-Track Tape! ;~D Love ya, ray!! Keep on doing what you do! :-D
My 23 year old daughter puts this record on for her friends often!!! We LOVE it! This is one of our favorites. I like to wait until the first chorus and come dancing into the den singing it. You know, to impress the young people. 🤣😂 (ahem…embarrass her friends FOR her. She’s not embarrassed she jumps right in!) I used to love to play Hugo The Human Cannonball for the kids in their gross stage of life!😬 We quote Ray Stevens songs so much! He’s a comical genius and, honestly, one Great Singer! So easy to harmonize with!
Ray Stevens is still kicking you go ray keep doing it as long you can.sometimes you have to be silly.eat your heart out Captain Morgan.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
This just isn't fair, Ray!! I was in high school when your song "The Streak" came out, but watching this video I see you don't look any older than me. Maybe you even look younger! I am so glad I accidentally found your RUclips channel today...I didn't even know you had a channel. You are still so awesome!
No I am 26 and I grew up on this song, still one of my absolute favorites and will always be one of my absolute favorites. What I love about Ray is that he has this cheap cheesy corny feel to his music videos and it's not cheap feeling it just looks that way and it's so Charming because it's comedy and comedy you don't need a lot of big flashy stuff this is just perfect, I love Ray Stevens for everything that he's done especially the Mississippi Squirrel Revival because I'm from Mississippi.
His gayest song but one of his funniest songs ever. I grew up listening and watching Ray Stevens ever since I was born. My dad and I are big fans. We saw him live for my 8th birthday. I cried because he left before we could meet him
I just bought a digital copy of the Pirates of Penzance, which is why I remembered this song which I didn't know until just now had an actual music video. I'm welcome.
I probably had not heard this song in twenty years. But suddenly, it was running through my head at work today, and I have no clue why. And so here I am. Is this insanity?
I DID THE SAME THING!!!! The day before yesterday, I had , I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance. Stuck in my head. My 11 year old thought I was crazy. Until I googled just those words and came up with Ray. Lol
At 1:06 I know who that is, that's Rob Wilds. He is a correspondent on this statewide show in Tennessee called "Tennessee Crossroads." If you live in Tennessee and watch Tennessee Crossroads, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Wow! Ryan George really went all out on this Pirates of the Caribbean Pitch Meeting. ;) (haha, is funny cause Ray is playing two guys like Mr George! aaahhhh hah)
I'm here because a guy at work was talking about two dudes who play pirates in a theater who were married. I said, "well, I guess they split the bootie". He nearly doubled up laughing. I asked if he ever heard this song, nope too young. Ray Stevens is such a mess.
One of my favorites in high school! The original recording is a much better tempo, though. I did a killer lip sync for a theater project with this song my senior year.
To be honest “a little lime in it” wouldn’t have hurt anything back in the day when it came to survey. Ray is a pretty bright guy there’s no way he missed that.

I say"Tacky Tacky Tacky !" 😂😂😂
As a man sporting 80 years. I LOVE Ray Steven's talent, he has forgotten more about music than most people ever learned. 😂
He's an Amazing Pianist !! Started out playing the piano at Church as a teenager. 😊🙏🏻⛪
My sister and I would act this whole song out. We knew every word and had a dance we did. It was so fun! Love Ray Stevens!
Take me back to my childhood! This stuff was toooo funny back then. As a man almost 40 it's still just as funny
I can relate. I'm early 50's,Gal and grew up with Ray 😊.👍
You'd love his CabaRay Nashville show on PBS or online.
@@doughesson Txs will look,for it .
I love Ray Steven's. It's always good for a laugh. And they are a clean fun.
I'd lent this tape to a shipmate back in 87 or so & for weeks afterwards,he talked like the guy wanting to "be a pirate like the Pirates of Penzance".
The Chief looked at him kinda funny.
Ray all I can say is thank you for all the laughter through the years :)
2020 and still a great song
I remember watching his videos with my grandma. I really miss those days but we all have to grow up and move on. Lucky for us we have RUclips!!!
I've heard many songs by Ray Stevens but hadn't heard of this one until now. 🤣🤣🤣
I didn't realize how much I needed this in my life. I was not looking for this, not even remotely. I regret nothing haha
Sad fact is, I was😭🙃
Cute dog tho
I guess he's not a Democrat
"Captain Long John Blackbeard Peg-leg Patch-eye Hook." best pirate name ever
what a mouthful.
@@missywiley3140 That's what she said
The best name ever
My hubby dressed as a pirate we named him No Beard
My mom and I just simultaneously recalled this song after not thinking about it for at least a decade
This is my uncle’s favorite song, he sung it all the time when I was a toddler but he never told me it was Ray Stevens 🤣 what a legend
I didn't think he played a double role in this song. Thank you for sharing this!
ray does in most of his music videos
My Dad bought this cassette tape when it first came out and him and I sat at the kitchen table and listened to the whole thing...we laughed so hard. Good memory for me LOL
Ray is always good for a laugh. Good clean humor
This reminds me of a road trip with friends and one silly bastard that brought a Ray Stevens cassette with this song on it. Very fun trip!
Ray Steven thanks for being our National Treasure!
I still remember the original version of this from the 70's. My Dad and I used to listen to it on (ready?) an 8-Track Tape! ;~D
Love ya, ray!! Keep on doing what you do! :-D
Along with the James Bond riff, I think it leans heavily towards Monty Python (if they were smart enough to think of it first). Love it Ray!!!
Yes! From Monty Python and the holy Grail ! The kid in the tower scene, the one who needed to be rescued .
"I'd rather..."
"Rather what!?"
"I'd rather... just... sing!"
Monty Python?
No, No, NOO! Anything but that!
You’re marrying Princess Lucky whether you like it or not!
But the huge.... Tracks of land!

No dumb questions sent me! 😅😂
I like Destin's version better.
@@themdwthemdw 🤣 Destin did make it sound pretty good!
Same!
Likewise, lol!
Ray Stevens is still kicking you go ray keep doing it as long you can.sometimes you have to be silly.eat your heart out Captain Morgan.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I had no idea there was a music video made for this song, which I enjoy listening to every now and then. :D
+Casey Decker This was made around 1992, and it's a re-record; the original version was recorded about ten years earlier.
+EricEbac22 1986 is when I got the "He Thinks He's Ray Stevens" tape.
From a 40 year old who has been watching The Pirates of Penzance since I was 2 or 3 I completely concur with this statement
Gonna tell my kids this was pirates of the Caribbean
It's not??
Oh, that’s mean, LOL
It already is!
This is the greatest and most underrated comment I've ever seen on any RUclips video ever ❤😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the song and his name is a mouth full.
This and the Blue Cyclone are my favorite
I grew up with Ray Stevens songs as a kid. Had s crush on him as a kid too. lol he’s awesome
Lmfao when he smacks his hips!!!!
Love it STILL to thos day.... they could never play it on mainstream radio.... but I LOVE Ray Stevens' music
This just isn't fair, Ray!! I was in high school when your song "The Streak" came out, but watching this video I see you don't look any older than me. Maybe you even look younger! I am so glad I accidentally found your RUclips channel today...I didn't even know you had a channel. You are still so awesome!
My daughter who is now 10 turned me on to this three years ago while I was taking her to Disneyworld for her first time.
The perfect video to share for "Talk Like a Pirate Day."
I needed a good laugh this morning...thank you
There's always that one person who always wants to do something different. But in this occasion, it's hilarious!!! I love it!.❤
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE THIS!! Ray is soooo Awesome!!!
I just discovered this today and I love it!
I frickin love this song!! Anybody else start singing the hokey pokey?
There is funny stuff, and then there is nonstop laugh riot stuff. This falls into the latter category! 😄😁😆😅😂🤣 😝😍🤩
What will Ray think of next....he is an absolute genius!
LOL Love this! Pirates of Penzance references, Bond theme incorporated into the music...LOVE!
The Pirate Song is a totally new one to me, I thought I knew most of RS' songs. This would have gone down an absolute treat on the Muppet Show.
No I am 26 and I grew up on this song, still one of my absolute favorites and will always be one of my absolute favorites. What I love about Ray is that he has this cheap cheesy corny feel to his music videos and it's not cheap feeling it just looks that way and it's so Charming because it's comedy and comedy you don't need a lot of big flashy stuff this is just perfect, I love Ray Stevens for everything that he's done especially the Mississippi Squirrel Revival because I'm from Mississippi.
Love💕💕💕💕💕Ray Stevens. “Songs” (most of them) 👍👍👍👍
First time I've heard this song. HILARIOUS!

His gayest song but one of his funniest songs ever. I grew up listening and watching Ray Stevens ever since I was born. My dad and I are big fans. We saw him live for my 8th birthday. I cried because he left before we could meet him

Nope just a cute flash back. Lol. Just a grandma of eight talking. This too shall pass. God bless
I DID THE SAME THING!!!! The day before yesterday, I had , I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance. Stuck in my head. My 11 year old thought I was crazy. Until I googled just those words and came up with Ray. Lol

Oh! Glad to see this one!
Let’s see the musicians now days try singing or come up with a song like this
Danny Gonzalez
Look up his music
WTF ? WOW RAY , YOU DONE IT AGAIN BUDDY !
One of my all time favourites by Ray. My grandsons love this also, they're 9 and 7......
At 1:06 I know who that is, that's Rob Wilds. He is a correspondent on this statewide show in Tennessee called "Tennessee Crossroads." If you live in Tennessee and watch Tennessee Crossroads, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Wow! Ryan George really went all out on this Pirates of the Caribbean Pitch Meeting. ;)

6 words for you.. I WANT TO SING AND DANCE
My daughter and her dance team did a routine to this song!
😂
I haven’t heard this since I was a kid 😂😂
I LOVE THIS VIDEO RAY STEVEN'S
I'm here because a guy at work was talking about two dudes who play pirates in a theater who were married. I said, "well, I guess they split the bootie". He nearly doubled up laughing. I asked if he ever heard this song, nope too young. Ray Stevens is such a mess.
Gross two hairy pirates splitting each other's booty open. I can't unseen it now! 🤢 🤮
Ugh it keeps stopping at my fave parts of this song
One of my favorites in high school! The original recording is a much better tempo, though. I did a killer lip sync for a theater project with this song my senior year.
Great video! 😂
I think thats the James Bond music in the background.
To be honest “a little lime in it” wouldn’t have hurt anything back in the day when it came to survey. Ray is a pretty bright guy there’s no way he missed that.

Thank you 😂
Havent laughed so much in long time!!!
Love This!
um its 15 not 16 men on a dead man's chest ..
Dead Man's Chest is a tiny island that forms part of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea. Pirate legends of the Caribbean claim that the notorious pirate, Edward Teach ( Blackbeard ), marooned 15 of his pirate crew on 'Dead Man's Chest' as a punishment for their mutiny and desertion.
I just referenced this to my wife and she had no idea what it was. Here I am 😂
How That Was Quite a Dream Ray !!!!
I never understood the opening line when I was younger. An adult joke went way over my head.
Which part?
This is what it's come to. I'm doing this instead of studying
“I don’t like it and I’m not doing it.”
"It's tacky. Tacky, tacky, tacky."
Me too!
Saaame😂😂
Hey, I remember this song 4th graders did this one for the Christmas play.
Thank you for this
Love this song
Love it!
Is it just me or does the "I Want to Sing and Dance" refrain sound like the "Hokey Pokey"?
That's is awesome! !
"What do you say we do a bunch of stereotypical pirate stuff that rarely happend and stereotypically say 'arrrr' after everything" 😂
I don't like it.
A hell yeah
When I went to camp some counselors performed this song
Nobody:
Me and the boys: 0:16
Song still slaps I swear hahah
This epsiode of Our Flag Means Death is different than I remember.
😂
My friend came to school one morning singing this😂
