How a church in Mississippi found the Lord by
Ray Stevens
 | This is really, really good. It sure lifted my spirits. Made my day. Thanks. |
 | Hello Roger;
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I used to live 15 miles from the place this song is about in Ocean Springs, MS. |
| HI EVERYONE, THIS IS NEW TO ME. BUT, I AM TRYING MY BEST. |

| Niecy;
I have a good one about a Biker, cops and a misplaced squirrel but it's in text. I'm thinking I'll put it up |
 | Wonderfully funny and well directed; the music and lyrics are exceptionally well delivered. It deserves an oscar, tony, grammy, golden globe and people's choice! |
| Fred;
That's a lot these days:>) |
 | THANKS LOVE IT HEHEHEHE MEMA OF 4 GAIL  |
 | I want my that 3 minutes 46 seconds of my lie back. Wow, this is beyond not funny. |
 | i have heard the song and it was good this is good for a laugh |
 | Well, a lot of people (no matter which church they do or do not attend) need something to wake them up to live a better life for Jesus - including myself.. can't point at someone else without have 3 pointing back at yourself of course. I remember when this came out and thought it was funny then and still do -- Wake Up Call!! Jesus will be coming again soon!! |
 | WOW what memories this brings back from my younger years.. |
| WOW this bring back many child hood memories, me and my older brother riding in the back of our dad's pick up and we got our "boom" box and we are jammim Rays Stevens..lol. |
| Wellll, I'm glad you folks on the most part like this song as I do. It's a lot funnier than the one...It's So Lonesome In My Saddle Since My Horse Died. :>) You should watch the video I put Up about when Elmer Fudd finally catches Bugs Bunny. |

| Hello Dale;
I lived in Ocean Springs for 4 years just about 10 miles West of you about a mile off the Gulf Hwy. I've caught many a crab and shrimp there. I did the Marble and Ceramic tile in the Fountain Bleu, Imperial Palace and several other Casinos another 5 miles or so West of you in Biloxi MS while they were being built. Loved it there but the hurricanes were...devastating. I heard this song long before I moved to MS. Glad you enjoyed it. |
 | Thank you I was sent this today and it did make me smile. Thanks again |
 | Hi! I used to live in Pas-Point....years ago. My home town. Hmmmm....about from 1942 till 1974 . I've heard this song many times! I love it every time I hear it. ~glassy~ |
 | Well I thought I had heard all of his stuff, but Ray Stevens never stops surprising us with more and laughable ways. Very good. Even surpasses his "Streak". :) |
 | Never heard it, though I spent summers down south all my life. V. funny and brilliantly executed, esp. the music.

 | Whee! It's been a few (!) years since I last heard this on Country radio. What a hoot. It's as funny now as it was then, and the video probably makes it more fun for all who've been raised in the age of computers. Thanks for the smiles, Travis! |
| travisab1 wrote on Apr 7, '09, edited on Apr 7, '09 I Appreciate your fine comments about this video. I've also noticed that most of you haven't done anything to beautify your new Multiply website. Even if you're using the free version of Multiply you can still have a choice of multiple themes for your site and put all sorts of videos, pictures ETC... on your new free site here. I too would like to visit your sites as well and comment on your version of self expression. When you do please send me a link. I have a lot of videos on my site other than this one and you all are free to visit any one of them or all.
Again, thanks for your comments and have fun,

 | Being able to make a little gentle fun of oneself and not get too self-righteous (love the name of the church!) never does a human any harm. Great song, terrific production values, great fun for those Christians who aren't too po-faced to take a little ribbing. |
 | maggiebs wrote on Apr 7, '09, edited on Apr 7, '09 Ray Stevens has always been a great singer/song writer ALL of his songs are fantastic. it would be hard to pick just one as a favorite. If I had to choose, it would be "The one I'm listening to right now!" My name is Margaret, so I like "It's Me Again, Margaret!. Hee hee" |
 | this was so funny thanks for the laugh,lol |

 | champuli1 wrote on Apr 10, '09, edited on Apr 10, '09 Although living in Oregon now (and the rest of the country through the years), I am still a Mississippi girl heart n' soul. I have always thought this song was hysterical but had never seen the video. Hilarious!!! I wonder if maybe the folks (like the guy who wants his "time" back) who don't see the humor in this possibly just don't understand the humor, culture, tale-tellin', and insanity of the Deep South. Thanks so much for posting this. My brother sent me the link. :) It has made my day. |
Comment deleted at the request of the author.  | I never heard that song before but i think it's great! I believe we need another squuirrel set loose today in a lot of dead churches. Christians seem to be falling away and we need to pray them back into the kingdom of God because Jesus is comming back real soon, just take a look around you, the signs are all there. |
 | That is about the funniest video I have seen in a very long time. Thanks for sharing it |
 | Just watched the squirrel in the Baptist Church. And, as I am sure,...as with everyone else who has watched it......laughed heartily out loud, here all by myself. Do hope no one heard!!!! Patsy. |
 | From Jerry Lee Fowler,
Ray Stevens is one of my favorites and so funny. I think this is one of the funniest of all his work |
 | What a great video......Ray Stevens always does he songs in style.......
Great job! Hope the video wins a Grammy! |
 | ho i love it very very very much it make my day

 | tbo wrote i love this song and ray stevens |
 | I always wondered why those TV preachers had such odd looks on their face! Bless that little squirrel. I s this a recent video? |
 | Thanks for sharing this..I needed an uplift and a smile today. What fun. |
 | Daawg1
I haven't had much to smile about lately with all the men and women coming back in body bags, the President denouncing techniques that have saved lives of out men and women in the armed forces and a Congress that will not stand up for the people who elected them to office. So this was the one thing that I did smile about and even shed a tear, for being from a small southern town in rural Georgia, we as kids sure pulled off some unexpected pranks also. |
 | I loved it ...My laugh for the day...LOL |
 | We first heard this song on a trip to the Canadian Rockies and there was a Church group from Alabama with us. They played this song and many others by Ray Stevens on a tape player one of them had. Well, those of us from the Northeast enjoyed them so much that we kept asking them to play them over and over. Such fun we had on those long bus rides from place to place!!! |
 | Had a greaat laugh over the sguirrel yet felt sorry for him at the same time. Thanks for the fun I had today. Canadian girl. |
 | Just what a person needs before going to bed....A good laugh..... More American's need to hear this and forget all their worries for awhile. Thank you and I will enjoy sharing this with all my Friends here in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. |
 | Absolutely loved this video!! God bless Ray Stevens; loved him since the first day I set eyes on him and heard his music!! I'll be a fan forever. Thanks to my good friend for sending this to me, I really needed a laugh today and got it in spades. |
| Wellllll, I'm glad to see you folks love this song as much as I do. Thanks for your kind comments. Ray was always # 1 in my books too. |
 | Thanks for the smiles, Travis! My first time here...a friend sent me a link to this song..awesome! I forgot this song.. until today~ :) |
 | This is the first good laugh I have had in a long time. It was hilarious. |
 | That was terrific? It's always nice to find something to make you smile or laugh. Carol |
 | How do I get a DVD of this?

 | Saw this one long ago.. and its STILL just as funny now as it ever was. Long live the sounds of Ray. |
 | hi...a friend of mine sent this to me, and it sure made me laugh. Thanks for posting the video. |

 | Absolutely good video, I love it very much!!!! |
 | All Churches needs a revival like this with a squirrel turn lose in itl. I have always loved this song. |
 | I laughed so hard that I could swear that squirrel was tickling my underarms till I could almost cry. It has shook the depression out of my spirit. Thank God for a sence of humor. I needed this. You'll never know how much I needed this. I had better get to bed now or my husband will get suspicious about all the giggling coming from the study. Oh Lordy I needed a touch of revival. |

LOL |
 | Awesome video, thanks for sharing LOL |
 | Good music video with a message to all of us. Fun too.... |
 | That was cute I really enjoyed it. Made a ruff day a bit brighter.
Thanks |
 | I really enjoyed this video too; what a talent. It made my day as well, then when I sent it to my brother, he recognized the voice as being the same guy who sang Guitarzan when we were growing up. Good to hear that song again too. Many thanks! |
 | This really brought back some fond memories. We nearly wore out the "vinyl" on this one. Those of you who don't know what a vinyl is just look it up. Most of his songs are great and I have ordered the DVD's for my grandkids to hear so they don't miss the good stuff. Bill |
 | I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND SURE IS WORTH WATCHING AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR SHARING |
| Roger;
Thanks. Loved your "If Tomorrow Never Comes" but couldn't find a way to post comments under the song. |
 | Fantastic! Sure brought smiles to a lot of faces...:) Thank you for sharing
|
 | I've always liked this song...and you get more laughs from this video than the original vinyl 45's! The song is more fun when you can actually SEE the squirrel working the magic! Peace and Prosperity to you... |

|
 | Maybe I need to turn a couple of squirrels loose in my church! LOL |
 | Roger Great song love it ,wish I could have been there when that one happened. God Bless Brother. LeRoy

 | Ray Stevens (Ragsdale) is an Albany, GA native but finished high school in Atlanta. I knew him then. He is best known for his satirical songs, creating a new genre of music, so I am told. Yes he did Guitarzan, Ahab the Arab, Everything is Beautiful, and a number of others. He got his big start as a summer replacement for the Perry Como show I think. Presently he resides in Nashville doing urban renewal, one or two houses at time, or so the story goes. A true creative talent. |
 | Can't believe that guy is not putting out new music...being as talented as he, no doubt, still is! Thanks for sharing! |

This has made my day! I'm still laughing as we found a baby squirrel and had it six years "Petey". He also got into lots of mischief in the house when he got loose.Glad to know about Ray Stevens. |
 | Isn't it a shame it takes a small creature of GOD'S to show people what they need to see, what they need do, how they need to repent and what they should have been putting in the offering plate all along! LOL It' so true though |
 | I have not heard that song in a loooooong time. I still think it is too funny because it is like quite a few people here. |
 | c2co wrote on Jun 17, '09 Love the song because it is about my hometown, Pascagoula. I went to Carver High there. It is still my hometown even though I live in D.C. now. |
 | caught Ray here in Branson MO a few years back when he had a theatre here..Is a great entertainer

This dimwit nose picker, who doesn't get the prevalent absurdity in comical irony, is probably an obama voter as well. Bless his heart. As John Wayne supposedly said - "Life is tough. It's even tougher when you're stupid". |

 | Ray Stevens is one of my all time favorite artists. Great at getting a laugh outa life. I usta live in Vancleave, MS, just a few miles from Pascagoula. Always think of my time there in MS when I hear this song... the video was great. |

 | What a delightful look at our short-comings and how the Lord can use even a Mississippi squirrel to accomplish His will.
Luv-in-Christ, Mable |
 | This was so happy and so bouncy and clever and well done....wow....it just made me smile all over! Jennifer Grant |

 | I am a Senior Soldier and part of the Praise and Worship Team at the 6th St. Citadal in New Westminster, BC, Canada. We all need a good laugh now and then to lift our spirits. This not only lifts my spirits, but reminds me of those who need their spirits lifted the most; those who are lost and empty, as I once was, and sometimes I need a reminder from time to time. I'm positive God appreciates humour, thus His gifts to us with persons such as Ray Stevens and our Captain Dave. If those who read this are ever in the New Westminster area, please attend our service and stay for a hot meal after. Not only hear the true Word of God, but be entertained by our Captain Dave. God bless you Ray Stevens and those who need rival the most. |
 | Rceived this from my nephew who lives near Ottawa, Ontario. He often sends jokes to me though I am 80 yrs old. It does my heart good to be able to have a good laugh as I've had with this video. I loved it. |
 | Thanks to my friend who sent this. I needed a good laugh...what a hoot. Revival is certainly something we need in this country so whatever it takes bring it on! and I agree GOD does apreciate humor..It we cannot laugh at ourselves ....we are just too stuffy! |
 | If that don't put some Jesus in you... I'm sorry for ya! |
 | even to a canadian, it has merit!!! Eh! |
 | What a great way to start my morning ! THANK YOU |
 | ....no time to comment....gotta change my pants...... |
 | OMG absolutely AWESOME Gotta love this guy What a riot. |
 | teabagfags wrote on Aug 28, '11, edited on Aug 28, '11 The song and video were well put together how ever i found the story line to be a little over the top. You had me up until the squirrel started running around in the man and woman's pants. I would find it hard to believe that people would confuse a squirrel in their pants with an act of god i mean you would have to be pretty deranged. But then again i bet that the majority of the people that like this voted for George W Bush and don't like Obama because hes black and or muslim. Religious rights hinders society's progress i mean look at the middle east. And if it wasn't for all the Sara Palin supporters in this blog i would want my 3 min back too. God hold a special place for those to stupid to think for them selves. |
Comment deleted at the request of the author.  | This was great. Sorry the person who wrote August 28 is so sensitive about humor, and has to get his /her word in pertaining to there agenda. |
 | to teabagsfag....GOD help you ....you need some help!!!!!! |
 | I was born in Pascagoula, MS! |
 | It had been a long time since I heard it. Still great. We could all use a bit of silly humor once in a while. Anyone have any fellow church goers that they would like to see the squirrel visit?? Those who don't have any humor, I'm really sad for you. How tough for you. Bob, Live Oak, Ca. |
 | A black squirrel crossed my path here in Santa Cruz, California yesterday so this really made my day! |
 | I have always loved that song!!!!. Being a Ms GAL We Love laughing & having a great time being a NUT!! If U don't laugh to that Geez get some Humor!!!!! |

I also lived in Pascagoula and worked at Ingall's Shipyard. It was in ' 73 - ' 75, I survived two hurricanes in those years. |

 | missfarr from New Zealand: Love this particular song. I have it on Cd, yet would like to know how to download the video clip onto my hard drive so that I can play it over and over. Would like an Assistance if it is possible to download this and any other clips from your archives. missfarr@xtra.co.nz my email address.

 | bigahole needs to change the "biga" to you know what! |
 | There is nothing that Ray Stevens does that DOESN'T make me laugh! Heaven know these days a good laugh is great medicine..... |
 | Love Ray Stevens! He is so funny! |
 | Just love Ray Stevens. He is so funny and the way things are these days who doesnt need a good laugh
|
 | I just showed this video to a friend who is Muslum and she and I BOTH laughed until we had tears running down our faces....it is cross gender, cross, cultural, cross religion...just plain out funny! Thank you.....Travis, I belive you began this......Bless you and don't let the nay-sayers bother you! I have Ray on the good old LP's, but really love to watch the video's.... |
 | I have lived in Mississippi and loved living there, but back home in Kentucky for the time being. This tune w/video is hilarious! Love the name of the church too! But, it could have been set in almost any of our "southern" states. |
 | Heard this song a little over a year ago. And every time I get this song emailed to me, I sit back, relax, think of my childhood, and laugh my but off! Thanks for sending!! Love it!!!! |
 | "teabagfags" said, "God hold a special place for those to stupid to think for them selves." Wow, I'd be really embarrassed if I had made two spelling errors in THAT sentence. And he even edited it. Hint for tea: TOO (adverb), not TO (preposition). And if you wanted THEM SELVES to be two words, it should have been THEIR (adjective), not THEM (pronoun) SELVES. It passed your spell check because they're real words. Spell check doesn't know how to use them any more than you do. Let us know where that special place is when you get there, tea. |
 | Have any of you watched any of the other videos in this file? There are about 12 I think and they are all worth watching. |
 | Very entertaining and very funny. Thanks. |

I want my that 3 minutes 46 seconds of my lie back. Wow, this is beyond not funny.
