My mom and dad loved Ray, and I did as well, I loved all his stuff, the man is very creative, and should be far more famous than he is... Thank you for all your tasteful entertainment.
Just wanted to state the obvious...Ray Stevens talents are many and you seldom hear anyone doting on his accomplishments. Like him or not...much like Roger Miller was Ray's the sharpest knife in the entertainment drawer.
whoever in the group of music lovers would say Ray is not wonderful !!! His words and actions bring happy enjoyable emotions to me !!! I love watching him do *I saw Elvis in a UFO !*I have loved him and disliked him for a while ,for a little let down at my hometown ,,Keep up your good work Ray ! love ya ,God love's you more😇 🐴🐖. 🐩🐈 🐦 🐇
"Once you get hooked on camping, You'll never like the city again!" Oh deary me, only one comment Ray did not make at the end of his final statement is a possible rejoinder from him, namely, "Horse pucky!" ... My sincere commiseration to all the unfortunate campers of the world ... buuut ... I most certainly LOVE Ray's comedy and I laughed with the best of them! *hugs* to Ray!
@@susanboylefanable When this song came out in 1986,State Farm had an ad campaign where people would tell their story about their insurance claim & wonder if they were covered. Waaay before the farmers started to copy the idea.
You know, the cost of fitting a family of five from scratch nowadays, with a tent, sleeping bags, knapsacks, boots and camp gadgetry... $6497.22 is totally plausible. But, like the man said, you can use it all again... right? :D
I love camping Ray, got my tent , airbed ,cot, solar charger for phones, a twenty dollar grill that lights my charcoal to heat my $10.00 water kettle to heat my water for my instant coffee and fruit flavored oatmeal , cast iron frying pan will cook everything else.
My husband was a professional musician Clyde saxophone tenor and clarinet did Studio music backgrounds porkchop singers New York now this is the thing that he really didn't like for someone to mess up a beautiful song call Misty now that really ticked him off that is a beautiful song sung by a beautiful singer mr. Matthews and it should never ever been tampered with.
I lived that story that Ray Stevens sang when I was in my twenties. Me and some friends went camping with my wonderful grandfather Willie Lewis. We didn't sleep in a tent though. We slept in a log cabin. We kept hearing mysterious weird frightful noises and I got so scared that I went to bed. I'm beating myself up for a long time because I was in my twenties not my little kid years. I told my grandfather aren't you going to be mad at me aren't you going to yell at me? He said no I'm not going to be mad at you you were frightened it's alright. I am so glad that somebody was here to protect us when we heard all those scary noises. Don't get me wrong I love to camp
+Joe pappa - there are blackberries, but not the phone; they're the edible kind. I remember hearing this song on the "Surely You Joust" cassette. The ending was longer on it. "For what this trip cost, we coulda gone to Hawaii! Twice! First Class! I'm talkin' hula girls and them little pink, fizzy drinks with the parasols stickin' out of them! Nature? Just give me some concrete! I love traffic! Let me have some of that smog, too! Just call me "Urbane" from now on!"
That old adage about youth being wasted on the young....never more in evidence than the occasion I declined to share cake with Mr. Stevens and his band. It was your typical Texas open air extravaganza.... an August evening, the temp on the freshly laid asphalt pad had dropped to a balmy 103. well actually the pad was considerably warmer. If you ever picked or chopped cotton in Texas you know the heat absorption of flat black surfaces...but I digress....a tall skinny fellow wearing a blonde wig and a bass said 'hey it's Ray's b'day want some cake? we knew he was talking to us cause we wuz it. I said thanks but I better not. I hadn't noticed Ray, his back was to us and it appeared they were gathered around a small table. I'll never forget what he said very matter of fact 'you sure...the guys made it....it's pork & bean.' Just as easily could have been a scene from one of my family reunions. Add Bob Wills and a Lone Star runabout w/a 35hp Evinrude.
Love ray so much! Love is new song I would buy it! It reminds me of the pig song and the boxing song which I have the tape, but I have to replace the tape of the rainbow song. When he was on tv I watched his show, missing watching it
My husband suggested a camping trip ! I said sure ,as soon as I see a Motor Home ( R V) sitting in the drive way ! I am game ! Two weeks later There set a Toyota Motor Home ( RV) sittings in the drive way ! I said “You are kidding “ ? He said “ You didn’t say what type “ Turned out to be the best vacation we ever had ! Better then a tent ,because it rained 🌧for two days and nights ! 🤷♀️ 👨🏼🦳👵🏻🌲
keep it going, Ray Stevens. Love your songs. if you COULD though, try working on a new tune or beat or something. I think all 400 songs are the same tune/beat. keep em coming, regardless. God bless ya.
Hogwash. Give me a campground over a hotel/motel anytime. We got a travel trailer (our room the way we want, full bath & kitchen, no maids walking in, etc) just to get away from crappy hotels/motels. After pulling in, we can be setup in about ten minutes and sitting back eating hamburgers a half hour later. Trailer remains behind while sightseeing in truck. Can't beat it.
Never saw that Land Rover again. Yeah, it just floated off. Last I saw was the taillights goin' over the falls. State Farm ain't gonna ever believe this.
Don't pitch a tent over a tree root, even if it is the last camping spot left. Also, do not undress when the tent lantern is lit. I was very popular the next morning at Ocracoke Island Camp Ground about 40 years ago...awoke to gales of laughter the next morning. LOL
I my brother and parents. Used to go camping every other weekend. We had no experience like this. Sure glad we didn't. I would have been the first one .Moving it at high speed. First one in the car and all the doors locked. Wouldn't unlock the doors for nothing. Let the bear attack them and eat them. At least I would have been a survivor of the family.
Does anyone really camp anymore? My fondness memories of youth was living in the woods! Mr Yuppie parent there are no blackberries, androids or pc out there! Get out and live!
I do not as much as I would like to but I think it's good to get back to nature every now and then and I can't stand people who drive an RV to a campground with electrical hook ups, running water, and a fully stocked bathroom and call THAT camping
Sadly, there are IDIOTS who do this. Haul gear into nature, decide it ain't a bed of roses, and abandon it all, trashing the place because they're lazy and self-consumed.
5:07 We left: 8 sleepin' bags 2 Trailmaster tents A Coleman stove $400 worth of groceries A Land Rover My Rolex And every stitch of clothing my wife ever owned! Oh, yeah, had to take it all with her! Mink coat Makeup 'Lectric curlin' iron Never know what ya might need, she said!

The best concert I ever went to was Ray Stevens. People were literally rolling in the isles and crying with laughter. Love him!!!!!
Ray Stevens is an absolute American treasure. This song has got to be 1 of his best if not the best. It's absolutely hilarious 😂
These songs kept me happy growing up
'Eat your heart out field and stream' I DIED rofl
This is a normal camping trip 10/10 would go again
We love all of Ray Stevens works. He is so talented!
My mom and dad loved Ray, and I did as well, I loved all his stuff, the man is very creative, and should be far more famous than he is... Thank you for all your tasteful entertainment.
Any time I need to smile I can count on Ray Stevens
This is my first time seeing this one. Just like all of the others, it's funny and hilarious--Ray at his best.
Just wanted to state the obvious...Ray Stevens talents are many and you seldom hear anyone doting on his accomplishments. Like him or not...much like Roger Miller was Ray's the sharpest knife in the entertainment drawer.
How have I never seen this before

Lol I just love his music
The animation is amazing and funny
I've sat here all afternoon listening and laughing at RS Love him!
Me too .. trying to find a song I forget the title
Love it
Nice one! Reminds me a little of the song Uneasy Rider combined with The Streak for some reason!
Love this man

THIS was so funny
I miss camping :(
Camping trips all have their stories. My family has a few stories to tell.......
still funny after all these years hes still got it.
Love it 😅
This adds to the song - thank you SO much 😆
I love the 80's PC game graphics used in this video.
"State Farm ain't never gonna believe this....".... Priceless
Maybe he should'a thought about Farmers? 😁
Never saw that Land Rover again. Last I saw was the taillights going over the falls.
@@susanboylefanable When this song came out in 1986,State Farm had an ad campaign where people would tell their story about their insurance claim & wonder if they were covered.
Waaay before the farmers started to copy the idea.
As a firefighter,I'd use that line for particularly spectacular wrecks.
Absolutely a genius man, Ray please never stop doing what you do ❤
I was looking for Gary mule deer!
This is too funny.
Love these animated music videos! ❤️

Assuming you manage to leave the woods with all of it, yes, you CAN use it all again!
Don't forget the cost of that Land Rover.
❤
really??still?
Love this song

Needing a laugh. Comparing his trip with my urban camping trip when I was 15. Oh boy!❤😂❤😂❤😂. You can ask!
This is great! Hilarious!
I love this video
3:51 the power of motherhood ladies and gentlemen
Mulberryman yelling never mind the restroom! Hehe
She does still ask where the bathroom is I hope she finds it
Watch that bear

When he made The Streak in the 70s everyone knew his name.

I wonder how many people remember Euell Gibbons.
I do! I stalked more than wild asparagus when i was young..
"Many parts of a pine tree are edible". When Euell Gibbons died in 1975, the rumor was constipation from eating pine cones caused it.
I still have his books!
@@WMDTVIDS Lol, I still remember him and I get "Grape-nuts" flashbacks, lol.
Awesome
Love ray so much! Love is new song I would buy it! It reminds me of the pig song and the boxing song which I have the tape, but I have to replace the tape of the rainbow song. When he was on tv I watched his show, missing watching it
All I can say is,...hot damn!
I love your jamz
Never saw that Land Rover again....
We are in Montana 蒙大拿 in a RV. This song seems appropriate。

Grew up building and repairing RVs, Dads idea of roughing it was a black and white TV!😅😂🤣
Thats funny !!! I love camping.
keep it going, Ray Stevens. Love your songs. if you COULD though, try working on a new tune or beat or something. I think all 400 songs are the same tune/beat. keep em coming, regardless. God bless ya.
That's a lovely number. 666 thousand views. Lol.
Moral of the story, don't marry a yuppie wife and take a gun.
Pro tip:Take a test run in the backyard before you actually go camping.
Hes my daddys an my favorite guy
Very funny!
Effing nature. Humph!
FUNNY STUFF!!!!!

I like the bear scene ;)
This is peak boomer and it's great

why would you go to a camp ground anyway, the point of camping is to get away from everyone else and get back to nature
I was divorced and had two small children with me.
Bless your heart!!!🤣🤣
:)
lol funny
Funny
I my brother and parents. Used to go camping every other weekend. We had no experience like this. Sure glad we didn't. I would have been the first one .Moving it at high speed.

ROFLMFAO
I'm ashamed to say, I've never seen this one before.... LoL dang.....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was never one for camping
The Most Ridiculous himself 🪽🤪📚✝️🪄🎸
Lol
In his total, he forgot the cost of his pending divorce.
Does anyone really camp anymore?
My fondness memories of youth was living in the woods!
Mr Yuppie parent there are no blackberries, androids or pc out there!
Get out and live!
I do not as much as I would like to but I think it's good to get back to nature every now and then and I can't stand people who drive an RV to a campground with electrical hook ups, running water, and a fully stocked bathroom and call THAT camping
That,s MY kind of camping!
Give me a pop up and I,m happy!
My friends just left today to go camping
THAT,S why i don,t go camping. i,ll take a holiday inn any day! hahaha
amen I agree. My question is I wonder what state farm said when he called them? lmao
Sadly, there are IDIOTS who do this. Haul gear into nature, decide it ain't a bed of roses, and abandon it all, trashing the place because they're lazy and self-consumed.
Does that include letting their car go over the falls?
❤️😄👍😆😆😆😆😆😃😃😃😂😂
Never mind the restroom!!
M

Absolutely cannot stand full frontal ad.
Pay alot of money to live like a homeless person.
Listening to this i kept thinking about a boy named SUE by Johnny cash it seems similar even though the words are very different
