Thank you Penny for the great request - it brightened my day immeasurably! BTW, one of the "benefits" that Ford used in promoting his cars back in the day was it created less pollution than horses. This claim was actually true at the time, especially in cities like New York where it was costing a fortune to clean up the waste left by the horses. Jerry got the idea right though - Ford never imagined what his invention would become! Thanks for the terrific reaction Don.
A great combination of music and lyrics. The bass and percussion really give it a fun, bouncy feel. I remember the transition years from Leaded ('Regular') to Unleaded being from about the late 70s to mid 80s, but you could generally find Regular at the pumps into the late 80s, as I recall.
Thanks Penny for the funny and amusing son by Jerry Reed."Lord Mr. Ford" was written by Deena Kaye Rose and recorded/released by Jerry Reed in 1973. This was the second of Jerry's three number 1 songs. Thanks for your reaction... Pssrt Penny, I gave it 9.2 based on humor, truth and listenability.
Thanks Don for your great reaction . its just mostly funny like most of his songs do not remember having Ford but it stood out to me more with the cost of gas these days
Don't think I have heard this before. Fun song. Jerry is a funny guy. Great lyric-smith. Incidentally, he once claimed that he invented Rap in the early 70's. He said this on the George Jones show in 1999. Lari White was also on that episode. Jerry sang a song called "Your Still Gonna Die".
@@RockN2Country That might have been spurred a little by my favorite line... Well now all the cars placed end to end would reach to the moon and back again, And there'd probably be some poor fool pull out to pass.
i can always listen to a Jerry Reed song. Thanks, #sis for the great request and Don for the multi-talented reaction!

I remember when this was first released. I was probably 13 or 14 years old. Good, funny stuff from Jerry!

Unleaded gasoline came about in 1976 with the introduction of the catalytic converter.
I believe the switch to unleaded was 1975. I now walk and do not drive and am much happier.
Thanks to Penny for making my day with this request.

Oh my. I just love this song. I dropped what I was doing to listen. I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

@debbratrueax4430 By now you've seen that I did have a bunch of fun with it, and even went off on a space tangent!!

There at the end was a little piece of another song. Come away with me Lucille in my merry Oldsmobile, from 1905.
I always liked a Ford.
