    I will always have a special place in my heart for The Statler Brothers! My grandma was their secretary all the way up until they retired. I remember sitting in their "meeting" room eating oranges, while Harold made my little brother and I laugh hysterically 🤣 we still keep in touch with Jimmy once in a while. These guys were the kindest men I've ever met. They definitely kick-started my passion for singing. Man so many awesome memories!

    A footnote: Flowers on the Wall won the 1966 Grammy award for Best Contemporary (Rock and Roll) Performance by a Group, Vocal or Instrumental. The Statlers won the vote for the award over their competitors, a quartet of mop-haired lads from Liverpool.

    Tempted to say one of the greatest country songs ever written, and performed. But it really transcends country. The comic but achingly painful verses by the tenors were just brilliant. And Harold hitting the beautifully deep "Kaaa-ngaroo" a half beat before the others was always one of the most fun two seconds I could ever enjoy in a song. RIP Harold, and Lew.

    My grandmother introduced me to the group. Country music isnt the same as it was during their time. They were a great group all around.

    I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
    But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
    If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
    While you and your friends are worried about me, I'm havin' lots of fun
    Chorus:
    Countin' flowers on the wall
    That don't bother me at all
    Playin' solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of 51
    Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
    Now don't tell me, I've nothin' to do
    Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
    As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
    So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
    You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time
    Chorus
    It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
    Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
    And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
    So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
    Chorus
    Don't tell me, I've nothin' to do
    (musixmatch)

    we are from staunton va and my ex husband did some work on harorld's house back in late 90s/early 2000 anyway I used to take him his lunch and one day Harold Reed joined us and it was such a nice time, they were all really nice guys.

      wow that's really nice I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless.. I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together.
      seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia

    This song I truly believe has for half a century, been one of the most spontaneously sung / enjoyed tunes with small to medium sized gatherings of the period. Situations where you could hear one another, if you will. Amazing grace, precious memories, angel band, papa was.a rollin stone, the thrill is gone and a few more come to mind, but I wonder if folks who weren't there to witness / realize just what a big deal this song was and is. I'm from north east ms and you can go hundreds of miles in most directions, and I'm giving you a factual presentation. The term iconic is overused, but in this case any and all veneration is apt to come up far lacking. All to say: None of these joyous moments would have occurred without the beautiful voice of Harold Reid. Thank you sir.

    I remember seeing the Statlers in the early 70s as the lead-in for a Johnny Cash concert at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines. That was when I became a fan of the Statler Brothers !

    Песня супер! Конечно, Тарантино помог ей обрести популярность, пока я не посмотрела Криминальное чтиво, я не слышала этой песни. Но вот уже больше 20 лет это моя любимая песня. Спасибо авторам)

    Found this on cassette tape in the glove box in 1984 along with a Willie Nelson tape
    As soon as my brother and I put it on this song played
    Loved it ever since
    Can't help but see Bruce Willis doing the deep voice just as marcellus Wallace shows up every time the Cap'n kangaroo part comes on lol
