The Oak Ridge Boys were the ones that recorded this originally. It was extremely popular and I'm impressed that they can still sing as well as they do.
Grandpa and uncle Leroy....rofl love it. I grew up with my grandparents playing their music, but I love both. Definitely take a listen to the original even if you don't react to it.
It was a country + pop hit for the Oak Ridge Boys in '81, they love Home Free so much, they did a collab. concert w/them, want to do a world tour, but HF's pretty busy & they learned not to get too close to Adam when he's "spitting"/beatboxing, lol!😊
The Bass singer for the Oak Ridge Boys got his start singing on stage with ELVIS as a member of J..D. Sumner and the Stamps. His name is Richard Sterban.
This is a great collaboration. I'm so glad you did this one. The Oak Ridge Boys were huge in their time and this was one of their biggest hits. They are still really big in the gospel circles.
Incidentally, That first gentleman who came out with that "um-poppa-um-pappa-oom poppa mow mow," His name is Richard Sterban, and he is the Bass singer of the oak ridge boys for decades and decades; However, He had a singing career BEFORE joining the :ORB's group. Richard Sterban was previously, for years, a member of the singing group The Jordanaires-- who off and on Continuously collaborated and sang back up vocals for years, for.....Super Star, Elvis Presley! :) :)😁😁😁
The white hairs and the base singer that's older and the kinda reddish hair w mustache and little bit of a beard is the ones who are the Oak Ridge boys. The one with long white beards wife drove my school bus and if she was sick he would. He was so cool we thought when we were 13, 14 years old.
The oak ridge boys have done this song since the early 80's..this is their song..their names are Joe bonsall, Duane Allen, William Lee golden and the bass is Richard Sterban..the orginional oom papa now mow....they are the ones who really helped get home free into mainstream.
you should do a live version of this song with just Oak Ridge Boys; there's a version of them singing it at some awards show back in the 70s and the girls screamed when the bass sang...haha
THIS IS THE OAK RIDGE BOYS SONG, they do it a lot better when it is just them, All there music is Happy country they don't have any drinking and cheating songs that I know of. The best live show i have ever been to was a Free OAK Ridge boys concert on the green where I went to college.
Hey Billy you should check out a song called " I Know how to make a boy cry." Not sure of the artist name but very good catchy song. Also Hunter Hayes " Dear God" I love them both!
If you really want to experience the song to it's fullest - listen to the Album version ; the live version is ok - but in my opinion the Album version is best unless you are at the concert then the live version is good.
Have always loved this song! Well, by the ORBs, have never heard this version before. Has anybody else ever noticed that Elvira is clearly a horse? No? Listen to the chorus again, they can only be talking to a horse.
Elvira was the hostess of the Friday night horror show series back in those days. She was very pretty, in a goth sort of way.The songwriter had a crush on her. It would be a cool name for a horse, though.
Okay people. Yes, Im familiar with the last night hostess Elvira. I'm also familiar with the concept of paying the preacher man 2 dollars for a quickie wedding. And, one final note, I am also familiar with a joke.
Dat was good.... Do yourself a favor and look up the original... Elvira - Oak Ridge Boys...... give a listen and then notice the date ----- Those guys ruled the roost back then!!!
Billy love you, your reactions are the best but when you pipe in during the song, your voice comes in LOUD!,, Everytime your comment I have to put the volume down. It sounds like your screaming. Bless you for what you do.
The Oak Ridge Boys are the original singers of this song. The Oak Ridge Boys originally released this song in 1981. I was 11 going on 12 years old when this song was originally released. The original is better in my opinion.

You should do the original version by Oak Ridge Boys. It went number one on both country and pop charts.

Until you watch all of the Home Free videos, us Home Fries will never be happy! So get to it!!! lol You only got about 80 more! lol
Damned straight
Billy, check out the original Oak Ridge Boys of Elvira. Saw them do this live twice, (the Oaks) and the bass vibrates deep in your body every time.
I love it!! You make me laugh so much😊👍😁
When the Oaks released this in 1981, it was the first double platinum song to ever make it out of Nashville.
you should do a live version of this song with just Oak Ridge Boys; there's a version of them singing it at some awards show back in the 70s and the girls screamed when the bass sang...haha
When you get older the voice tends to get weaker. That they can still sing at this level is inspiring.
Love that this did this with the oakridge boys
THIS IS THE OAK RIDGE BOYS SONG, they do it a lot better when it is just them, All there music is Happy country they don't have any drinking and cheating songs that I know of. The best live show i have ever been to was a Free OAK Ridge boys concert on the green where I went to college.

I think you'd love Home Frees cover of End of the Road by Boyz 2 Men
There is no denying the BASS - Ever
Deep voice still kills it
Hey Billy you should check out a song called " I Know how to make a boy cry." Not sure of the artist name but very good catchy song. Also Hunter Hayes " Dear God" I love them both!
Please do, I guess it never hurts to hurt sometimes by the Oak Ridge Boys
Oaks sang this orig 50yrs ago
Harp intro was fire.
That older bass sang with Elvis
Please react to some more Oak Ridge Boy's songs.
As much as you are enjoying these guys I highly recommend Voctave. Any of their songs is incredible but the Disney Showstoppers is a great showcase.
Uncle LeRoy. Lmfao
If you like Adam (the beatboxer) you should check out...Adam Rupp -Drum Solo
Have you ever seen
'Elvira, Mistress of the Dark'?

You should go back and do the Boys original Elvira

Sometimes it is easy to forget there is absolutely no musical accompaniment!
You NEED to do Elvira by little big town and Chris Stapleton. They kill it!
My gpa would drink way to much wear his hat barely on his head and say sheeew and sing this song
If you really want to experience the song to it's fullest - listen to the Album version ; the live version is ok - but in my opinion the Album version is best unless you are at the concert then the live version is good.

Elvira was the hostess of the Friday night horror show series back in those days. She was very pretty, in a goth sort of way.The songwriter had a crush on her. It would be a cool name for a horse, though.
Why would one want to marry a horse? Listen to the part again where he sang "I saved up my last two dollars and we're gonna find that preacher man."
Okay people. Yes, Im familiar with the last night hostess Elvira. I'm also familiar with the concept of paying the preacher man 2 dollars for a quickie wedding. And, one final note, I am also familiar with a joke.

Check out the original it's much better, in my opinion. The Oak Ridge boys were huge a few decades ago.
Billy love you, your reactions are the best but when you pipe in during the song, your voice comes in LOUD!,, Everytime your comment I have to put the volume down. It sounds like your screaming. Bless you for what you do.
Don't be dissing The Oak Ridge Boys...not funny🤔🤔
Damn. Was that corny. Could you please react to the original, and set things right with the universe?
The Oaks actually approached Home Free to collaborate with them on this. The Original will always be theirs, but love the spin they put on this.
Oh, they did, did they? It does look like they're enjoying themselves in the video. Doesn't make it any less corny.
First
Your voice is super loud and the video not loud enough.
The Oak Ridge Boys are the original singers of this song. The Oak Ridge Boys originally released this song in 1981. I was 11 going on 12 years old when this song was originally released. The original is better in my opinion.
Homefree blue aint your color
