Well Tim does say that Home Free doesn't give us what we want - they give us what we need!! 🤣🍟

@carolyntaylor7 Жыл бұрын

Just noticed: Early in the video when it shows the congregation there are five guys sitting together - it’s Home free!

Ray Stevens did it live action. You should check it and his other songs out.

If this doesn't make people laugh, then I seriously don't know now what will, what can we say about the Home Free guys, they're seriously the best!! 😂🐿️😂

That was such a fun rendition of this song. And loved the animation! Tim is perfect for the narrating of this song. This was originally done by Ray Stevens. He is a country & pop singer-songwriter & comedian known for his novelty hits such as "Gitarzan", "Ahab The Arab", "The Streak" and others.

Timothy could make a killing as a "voice" actor never singing again..... But we don't want that do we?

The Hanna-Barbera style animation is perfect because that animation was also popular when this song came out.

Glad you spotted the Jetsons. That's George and Jane with different color clothes and hair. Makes me think this was done by Hanna or Barbara. Even the "Grandpa" is just Mr Spacely from the Jetsons. And if that squirrel looks familiar, remember Top Cat? The grandma looks familiar too but I think that's more coincidence. She looks like a Warner Bros animated granny.

This reminds me of "Champagne taste (on a beer budget)" whith the sing/talk style. But Tim is perfect for that, and love the upbeat in both.

Home Free did it again! 👍👍👍👍👍This is simply amazing! What a fun animation! How beautifully done! While watching this animation, the older Home Free videos also came to my mind where Home Free is also in the church. 😉That made me laugh even more. 😅 I am alone, but I think if others saw me then, they would think there was something wrong with me. 😊And as always great singing, the perfect harmony and background vocals, incredible bass and the inhumanly good beatboxing❤❤❤❤❤

I don’t think that we, “Midwesterner’s” could ever completely understand this song, since most of us are Catholic, Lutheran, UCC, UMC, Atheists or Agnostic’s! But I think it certainly conforms to our stereotypes of what “Southern” churches are like!!

@tomhansen4576 Жыл бұрын

Ray Stevens was known for his very popular comedic songs going back to the very early 60's such as Ahab the Arab, and The One Eyed Purple People Eater, The Streak, Gitarzan, and of course this one and many more. It has been quite a while since HF has done a humorous song like, mostly during the Chris Rupp era.

@dagmar.6954 Жыл бұрын

"The Purple People Eater" was written & performed by Sheb Wooley in 1958.

@thomasmacdiarmid8251 Жыл бұрын

No humorous songs in the Chance era? Like Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, Quarantine, Make You Feel My Love, Thank God I'm a Country Boy, or I Swear? Probably others as well.

I don’t know if Ray Stevens experienced this but, I work at a church and we had a squirrel attend a funeral. It didn’t cause quite this much ruckus but there were some who could barely stand because they were so weak from laughing so hard. You would probably enjoy the original video with Ray Stevens.

They did an amazing job with this song. Tim is the only one that could have done it. If you get a chance watch the original song Ray Stevens. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

Great reaction! My dad had an old vinyl record called “Looney Tunes” with the Ray Stevens’ version of this song on it when I was growing up. This was super nostalgic for me. I still have the record, come to think of it. Anyway, thanks for the reaction! If it’s Tim retelling the story, you know it’s going to be spectacular.

BASED ON A TRUE OCCURANCE THAT HAPPENED IN MISSISSIPPI IN 1799. ORIGINAL BY RAY STEVENS 1984. HE TWEETED ABOUT HF'S COVER OF HIS SONG. ANIMATED BY HANNAH-BARBARA STUDIOS THAT GAVE US, JETSONS, FLINTSTONES, GRINCH, RECESS, GRANNY-SYLVESTER & TWEETY, ETAL. SO, NO PROBLEMS WITH ANIMATER COPYRIGHTS HOW MANY CARTOONS CAN YOU FIND. THEY EVEN ANIMATED HOME FREE. RAY DID A LOT OF NOVELTY SONGS LIKE, THE STREAK, GITARZAN, AHAB THE ARAB, IT'S ME AGAIN MARGARET AND HIS POP SONG, EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL (IN THEIR OWN WAY}.

This is sooooo funny 😁🔥❤️‼️ OK….now go find some of Ray Stevens fun greats…..he did some really fun ones….he’s still living. Before Covid, his club…CABARAY, was quite popular there in Nashville. I really wondered how long it would be before he would do a Ray Stevens….🎵🎶‼️❤️

you did see the Guys animated selves right? Austin Rob and Tim and then the 2 Adams together funny ! and I encourage you to check out Ray's original it's live action and Funny as heck . HF as usual found that balance between the Original and making it their own. Ray Steven's tweeted his approval of it!

I'm thinking maybe the sleeping grandpa looks a bit like Fred Flintstone. This song was s hit by Ray Stevens. He had a major hit song in 1970 called Everything is Beautiful. I think is most famous novelty song was 1974's The Streak. Check out his wonderful video for that. I never get tired of that one. I also remember Gitarzan and Along Came Jones, both from 1969. Mr. Steven is still alive at 84 and still going strong.

There were several done in the Rugrats style, like the first guy who goes berzerk (although I think someone elsewhere identified him as being from a different show from a related series) and the black couple at the baptism.

The original video is live action and every bit as hilarious. If you should decide to checkout Ray Stevens I recommend "Sitting Up With Dead" which is based on a southern folk tale or perhaps "Ahab the Arab." Although to be fair with Ray Stevens you can't go wrong.

@Trishapurpleprincess Жыл бұрын

Sitting up with the dead isn't really a Folk Tale so much as a Tradition dating back to early days before embalming and funeral homes But Ray's video is hilarious

@aaroncoffman88 Жыл бұрын

@@TrishapurpleprincessWe have different sources. While I knew that sitting up with the dead was a southern tradition the actual story about a dead body sitting up during a thunderstorm, due to it having been necessary because the deceased couldn't be made to lay flat, and causing a commotion was a folk tale according to a folklorist I saw in an interview around the same Sitting Up With the Dead was released.

There really isn't a difference between the original and the Home Free version. Ray Stevens was primarily known as a comedy act, but he also had a few serious songs like "Everything is Beautiful" and "Misty". Home Free did amazing with this song
