@aprilnewsome1932 I saw him on Johnny Carson one night talking about how that works. Singing has an inherent rhythm to it where regular speech does not. He could approximate speaking if he somewhat sang his words or if he kept his hand in his pocket drawing a figure 8 to set the pace, but neither of those are appropriate in all settings
@@TonyM1961 That's awsome! When I was young I seen him on cannonball run and my mom and dad pointed out he was a singer. But I laughed about it and said WHATEVER. I thought they were just pulling my leg cus I said, I wonder if that guy really talks that way or acting for the movie. So my dad played his 8 track of him singing. I just remember being blown away by that!
You need to do Ray Steven's "The Streak". Streaking was a phenomenon that was popular in the 70's (Running naked to shock people) He did the song in response to that. Funny song!
Roger Miller was more widely known for his humorous storytelling lyric style. "Dang Me", "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd", "Engine Engine Number 9", "Do-Wacka-Do".
Wow!!!!! I always LOVED. ( Do Waka Do), my dad had it when we were kids! But I never knew who sang it. We weren't allowed to mess with his stereo stuff!❤❤❤ Do you know who sings a song about He had one big eye and two big feet, and just moved in my new house today?! I don't know the name of the song but it has those lines in it.
You want comedy? Try out some Weird Al Yankovich. He does parodies of famous songs that will leave you in tears. He always gets permission from the original artists for his parodies and his videos are priceless comedic gems. Try "Eat It" a parody of "Beat It" or "Fat" a parody of "Bad" for Michael Jackson parodies. My favorite is "Amish Paradise" a parody of "Gangster Paradise." Other great parodies include "Another One Rides the Bus", "I Lost on Jeopardy", "Like a Surgeon", and dozens more. I still recommend you start a regular feature of Silly Saturday to highlight the great comedy music from Ray Stevens, Jerry Reed, Weird Al, The Irish Rovers, The Royal Guardsmen, and others. It is an untapped musical genre. Almost no one on RUclips regularly reviews these artists.
@@aprilnewsome1932 I don’t know why, either, April. The way he can write and sing songs that fit the original that he is parodying note for note? I think the man is just insanely talented and brilliant. Hopefully at some point you can get into his music. ❤️❤️❤️
@@jenniferneuensmorgan9272, sorry, I agree he is brilliant. For me I just think it's because if I love the original song, it just makes me want to hear the original and sing along. I do think Al is funny, and listen, but I just wouldn't buy any of it and play it often. Just one of those things you like it but not enough to spend money on and enjoy over and over. ❤❤ That's the beauty of music, there is sooo much to enjoy for everyone🎉🎸🎸❤❤
At the 3:00 mark when you paused to comment on the $4K price of the car you overlooked that he was singing that he could afford the car because he could finance it for monthly payments but, that $4K car ended up costing him $14,999. It was nice to have my girl Amber reminisce about her dad working on his stuff. Our family was mostly GM and my dad taught me to drive when I was 13 in his '60 GTO and passed away 2 years later so I own one today in his honor. My dad paid $600 for that GTO from a co-worker. A lot less than what I paid for mine, lol.
I wore that Phantom 309 45 record out on my show and tell record player as child. 😂 must have played that record hundreds of times, over and over. My poor parents.🤦♂️😂😂😂
Fun fact: Back when Ford first started. The only color of car you could buy was black! He was once asked about it. He said you can have any color of car you want. As long as it's black!
@@neoncatfish4038 I remember my high school physics teacher telling us in class that story about Henry Ford way back in 1989, but I honestly have no idea whether it's true. lol
@@wtk6069 With regard to the color of the Model T's (1919 - 1925), Henry Ford is quoted for having said that “Any color the customer wants, as long as it's black.” This quote was never published in any newspaper, rather it appears in his (co-written) autobiography, “My Life and Work,” published in 1922.
Try Roy Clark, "Thank God and Greyhound"... He could sing sing funny songs like that, or serious songs like "Yesterday When I Was Young"... He was more then just a musician that could play any stringed instrument.. His song, Malaguena" already proved to you he was no joke on the guitar...
I don't recall ever hearing a Jerry Reed song I didn't like. Keep them coming! Most of his biggest hits had that signature comedic edge, but he had some more serious tunes and some amazing covers as well if you dig into his catalogue.
Jerry Reed was a blast of southern charm, good-time music, down-home wit and sunshine when he emerged, unexpected from TV and Hollywood, 'Hee-Haw' and 'Smokey and the Bandit'. 😊🤙🏼🎶🔥❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
"Come Away with me Lucille in my Merry Automobile" was a song from the early 1900's and was used by Oldsmobile for their advertising for years they just changed automobile to Oldsmobile.
Haha quote for the day “We didn’t have rims where I was from, there was no point, we were from the south we had use for our pick ups.” Oh and my favorite “ Dady could fix it” I mean he could and he did… nothing went in the shop unless it was a motor or transmission issue other wise he was our own personal shade tree mechanic.. 🤷🏻♀️ thank you Rob squad for that laugh and the memories it brought up. ❤️
Good ol' Jerry Reed . Known as the 'Gutair Man' and one of only 4 players who've been noted as 'Certified Gutair Players' by the ledgendary Chet Atkins.
Jerry Reed is probably one of the top 3 country guitarists of all time. You can find a video with him and Chet Atkins, one of the other two greatist country guitarists of all time, on RUclips.
This was written in 1973. You cannot hurt my feelings, I held the flashlight for my dad. This was an era when men could actually work on their cars. I can remember when gas was 25 cents a gallon. For funny, check out Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell's "It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Night Long"...the video version.
I used to drive my grandpa to the store to buy groceries. This was mid 70s. I remember once standing at the soda machine and hearing two "old timers" talking. One of them said, "They treat their trucks like they were cars." With surprise in his voice. Back then in Deep East Texas pickups were work vehicles.
❤❤You two are just too darn cute!! I love yall so much. I cant understand how you dont have at least a million subs yet!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉 And i love how Amber talks about her daddy, it reminds me of my grandpa!!!!
Where I come from, kitty corner to y'all up here in the Pacific Northwest, people were Ford, GM or Mopar. But I come from a family of gear heads and auto enthusiasts, and I just like cars generally. I have a particular affinity for classic American muscle (and the thing about classic American vehicles is they are actually pretty easy to work on compared to modern cars), but I'd be happy to drive a Ferrari or a tuned JDM as well. In my younger days I tended toward Ford pickups and Chevy cars (Camaro, Chevelle, etc. My dream car always has been and still is a '67 Camaro). But I've owned a driven so many vehicles of all different kinds that I can't even remember them all. I learned to drive in a late '50s model Ford pickup with a 3 on the tree, when I was about 11, in the late '70s. And now I'm driving a 10-year-old freaking Hyundai (at least it's a manual, so I retain some of my gearhead cred, lol). That dream Camaro ended up way out of reach. I should have bought one in the '80s when I could still find one cheap. 🤷🏻 Shoulda woulda coulda.
Jerry Reed and Ray Stevens both started as very serious musicians and had some very great songs early on in their careers. You should check out their more serious sides.
Roger Miller’s “ You Can’t Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd” is one of those songs that will make you smile and laugh a little and is also featured in one of the Jackass movies which would be hilarious to watch you two do movie reactions to 😆
It's great that you guys continue to give Jerry Reed some love and the respect he deserves as an artist. And yes, you should check out some of his killer guitar work. Another one you'd really like is 𝙅𝒆𝙧𝒓𝙮 𝙍𝒆𝙚𝒅 𝒂𝙣𝒅 𝑾𝙖𝒚𝙡𝒐𝙣 𝙅𝒆𝙣𝒏𝙞𝒏𝙜𝒔 doing the old Sam and Dave classic "𝙃𝒐𝙡𝒅 𝑶𝙣, 𝑰'𝒎 𝑪𝙤𝒎𝙞𝒏𝙜" from 1983. Great Stuff.
Mentioned Jerry's artistry with the guitar.... one of the favorite albums I owned in 8-Track tape was a total guitar instrumental album with Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins. Chet was a concert level artist with a guitar and highly respected doing backup work for other artists and his own albums. He didn't sing...just played the heck out of that thing. Jerry and Chet tore that album up with great instrumentals of favorite country and pop and classical music instrumental songs. Also Jerry was a frequent guest on the Glen Campbell Show on TV and Jerry and Glen would sit in a session on the show and play side by side .... wonderful music.
Jerry was a very creative guitarist with a unique style, his instrumentals are some of the best ever written. He could also write serious songs like "A Thing Called Love" and "This Day is Mine". A very talented artist all-around.
As a lifelong Jerry Reed fan, my mother recommends "The Bird" as a new listen. Also anything Jerry and Chet Atkins did together really highlights their guitar skills. We both bonded in high school over the fact that she loved Jerry Reed and I discovered Brad Paisley, who greatly admired Jerry Reed and is doing similar things for my generation of country music.
Jerry had a serious side too and he had some ballads / Love songs. The one i'm going to lay you two on to here on you tube makes my eye's leak every time i hear it. The song of song's called ''I Love You'' (so what can i say) . I promise you you won't regret it.
Amber I love your shirt it’s nice, yeah Jerry was a character and he could sing funny and serious songs I got to meet him in San Antonio Texas concert back in the day like about a year after the movie Smokey and the bandit
Jerry Reed is so overlooked these days. Great Reaction guys!. Speaking of Ray Stevens, you should react to "I'm My Own Grandpa". It's hilarious, and can be rather confusing at first listen.
Another guy from back in the 60s was Allan Sherman; he was an exec who turned to writing and singing goofy songs and parodies long before Weird Al Yankovic. His breakout hit was about a boy’s first day at summer camp: “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah”.
I’ve driven nothing but Ford vehicles since I was 16 hrs old and I am 64 now. Never had a problem with any of them except for usual routine maintenance.
😆 It is definitely a rite of passage for a young American male to hold the flashlight for our Dad and getting yelled at for not shining it right! I’m 66 years old and vividly recall those flashlight holding sessions😆 Thanks for sparking a great memory for me! 😉👍
Jerry has a GREAT song about being careful how you pre-judge people you don't understand...it's another great story song called KO-KO JOE! You will both love! Also, another hilarious song of his is FRAMED. Both of these are delightful and I was first introduced to them via my Dad's 8track tape. He has a heart condition. If you guys could review them I would be grateful. Blessings!
Jerry Reed was multi talented from his singing, song writing, Guitar playing and acting! He was great in the Smokey and The Bandit Movies but my favorite was his part in WaterBoy!
Gotta love Jerry Reed!! Another funny song (though not as funny as this one) is 'Little Black Book" by Jimmy Dean, the sausage guy. Also, by Jimmy Dean, 'Cajun Queen' if you wanted to know the next chapter of the 'Big Bad John' story.
For a singer songwriter from the 70s, same country/folk genre but opposite end of the spectrum, "A Daisy a Day" by Jud Strunk is a lovely song that will grip your heart...and rip it right out.
Much of Jerry Reed's magic is finding videos where he is playing live.... One of the best guitar players there ever was... In fact Chet Atkins bestowed the CGP designation (Certified Guitar Player) only on 5 people. Jerry Reed was one of those people..... Find some live videos or him picking duet with the likes of Roy Clark, B.B. King, Glenn Campbell, Chet Atkins and more.
On Jerry Reed’s last album, he recorded a song called the boys of 44. It’s a very patriotic song. You have to give it a listen. Also, if you like storyteller country songs, you need to listen to anything by Tom T. Hall my favorite song of his is I remember the year Clayton Delaney died worth a listen. It’s worth a listen.
You should check out East bound and down from Smokey and the bandit. The bird is funny too Not only could jerry Reed write songs but he was a great guitarist too! Check out jerry reed and Chet Atkins doing: Breakdown Baby's Coming home 😂😂😂
Ray Stevens song "Everything is Beautiful" is a departure from comedy, it is one of the most uplifting and positive songs you will ever hear. It includes both a children's choir and a full choir. It will touch your hearts.
It makes me laugh to see you guys developed a crush with Jerry Lee,but I'm old enough to remember seeing Smokey & the Bandit for the first time. And yes it was love at first sight ,take care kids. I give u guys props for having kids & just being normal people !
Nobody tells a story like Jerry Reed. And one of the best Guitar Pickers to walk on earth.
Jerry Reed had a hit called 'The Bird" that is pretty funny.
Never heard it. I'll have check it out!
Mac Davis - “Lord, Its Hard to be Humble”.
Jerry Reed: one of the top FIVE guitarists to ever have lived.
I think that you guys would love Tom T. Hall. His nickname was The Story Teller. "Old Dogs and Children, and Watermelon Wine."
Mel Tillis would be a good one too
I'd like to second that.
@@TonyM1961, he is awsome!!! It's so amazing how he talked with a stutter but could sing without it!!!❤

Chug a Lug.
He wrote an opera, and the music for Disney's Robin Hood. A country genius.
@@aprilnewsome1932 That would be The Haunted House by Jumpin' Gene Simmons. "Don't be here when the morning comes."
Lyrical genus, plus hell of a guitarist.
RAY STEVENS oh you’ve got to hear his song:
“EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL IN IT’S OWN WAY “!
( Watch it with the video, little kids)
Everyone always remembers Ray Stevens for his comedy songs, But his serious songs are so hauntingly beautiful
One of the children in that video is his daughter. He had said he recorded that in his daughter's kindergarten class.

My grandfather bought a flivver for $200, back when.
It was the only new car he ever bought, only because there were no used ones, yet!
This song isn't about Ford vehicles per say. It has the title because Henry Ford started the vehicle revolution here.
The Preacher and the Bear is another good song of his.
Talking about Ford, ylthe whole family would enjoy THE HENRY FORD MUSEUM in Michigan. Plan for at least 2 days to enjoy this treasure.

Jerry Reed was a guitar wizard, master country shredder. He, Glen Campbell, and Roy Clark
CGP, Chet Atkin's stamp of approval. Only 5 of them.
@@leehanson1416 Yup! CGP = Certified Guitar Player. I watched a video of Steve Lukather talking about these players and how much _he_ revered them.
Jerry Reed “The Uptown Poker Club” has always been my favorite funny song by him. Not as famous as others, but absolutely hilarious.
Love that one!
1964 Ford Galaxie 500 was my first car.
Try Roy Clark, "Thank God and Greyhound"... He could sing sing funny songs like that, or serious songs like "Yesterday When I Was Young"... He was more then just a musician that could play any stringed instrument.. His song, Malaguena" already proved to you he was no joke on the guitar...
Also...This thing called Love
"Malagueña" is a standard from the '30s; Roy Clark tore it up too. But yeah, Jerry Reed was a badass picker, no question.
I can listen to Roy play banjo, guitar, fiddle or mandolin for hours, but when he starts singing? No. Just can't stand his voice.
My mom sang me that first one when I divorced my first wife. LOL
Yes. Thank God and Greyhound is a worthwhile listen.
Jerry was such and incredibly talented guitarist
Jerry Reed was a talented artist. Singer, songwriter, and actor. Always made me laugh with his songs and his parts as an actor.
Jerry could really play and his songs were always entertaining to listen to.

Gotta love Jerry Reed!! Another funny song (though not as funny as this one) is 'Little Black Book" by Jimmy Dean, the sausage guy. Also, by Jimmy Dean, 'Cajun Queen' if you wanted to know the next chapter of the 'Big Bad John' story.
Also Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
In 1971 my dad came home with a brand new Chevy Caprice. The sticker was still on it; $4000!
For a singer songwriter from the 70s, same country/folk genre but opposite end of the spectrum, "A Daisy a Day" by Jud Strunk is a lovely song that will grip your heart...and rip it right out.
Much of Jerry Reed's magic is finding videos where he is playing live.... One of the best guitar players there ever was... In fact Chet Atkins bestowed the CGP designation (Certified Guitar Player) only on 5 people. Jerry Reed was one of those people..... Find some live videos or him picking duet with the likes of Roy Clark, B.B. King, Glenn Campbell, Chet Atkins and more.
Just a note: Come away with me, Lucille was a reference to another old time song, however it finishes by saying, “in my merry Oldsmobile”!!
Jerry...like you two..
Are a National treasure..
Mad Love ❤
On Jerry Reed’s last album, he recorded a song called the boys of 44. It’s a very patriotic song. You have to give it a listen. Also, if you like storyteller country songs, you need to listen to anything by Tom T. Hall my favorite song of his is I remember the year Clayton Delaney died worth a listen. It’s worth a listen.
Man you guys are just great Amber that’s a great story of your dad ❤❤❤
Jerry Reed's writing partner was Dick Feller, who wrote this song.
Jerry read also a master guitarist. If you type in jerry reed medley youll see just how good he was live.
There is NOTHING not to love about Jerry Reed❤️
We said growing up that the Ford emblem on our vehicles stood for Fixed or repaired daily!
Tom T Hall and Roy Clark these two sing funny songs!!!!!
The only Jerry Reed i know was his song from Scooby Doo, "Pretty Mary Sunlight." And that's a great little song.
A few funny songs from my youth... Benny Bell - Shaving Cream, Loudon Wainwright, III - Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road.
You should check out East bound and down from Smokey and the bandit. The bird is funny too
Not only could jerry Reed write songs but he was a great guitarist too! Check out jerry reed and Chet Atkins doing: Breakdown
Baby's Coming home
😂😂😂
Another Jerry Reed classic you should check out is "Another Puff". Along the lines of Chevys & Fords, checkout Billy Ray Cyrus' "Chevy & Fords"
If you do a little dive into who all was in his little Highschool class it will blow your mind. All that talent in one little highschool class
Ray Stevens song "Everything is Beautiful" is a departure from comedy, it is one of the most uplifting and positive songs you will ever hear. It includes both a children's choir and a full choir. It will touch your hearts.
Almost forgot about Johnny Horton. He has some awesome, upbeat, story songs! "Sink The Bismark" is a great one.
Jerry Ford and Johnny Cash were always my fav country artist because how they told a story and made it funny!!!! Love it!!!
Who the heck is Jerry Ford?
Corvyx-my heart will go on!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
It makes me laugh to see you guys developed a crush with Jerry Lee,but I'm old enough to remember seeing Smokey & the Bandit for the first time. And yes it was love at first sight ,take care kids. I give u guys props for having kids & just being normal people !
