On this day in 1975 {September 9th} Jim Stafford was a guest on the nationally syndicated weekday-afternoon television program, 'The Mike Douglas Show'... At the time his "I Got Stoned and Missed It" was at position #48 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, two weeks later it would peak at #37 {for 2 weeks} and it spent nine weeks on the Top 100... It reached #78 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... Between 1973 and 1977 the Winter Haven, Florida native had eight records on the Hot Top 100 chart, two made the Top 10, "Spiders and Snakes" {#3 for 1 week in 1974} and "Wildwood Weed" {#7 for 2 weeks in 1974}... James Wayne Stafford will celebrate his 76 birthday this coming January 16th, 2020...

I saw Jim open for The Smothers Brothers and Joan Rivers in San Francisco circa 1980. Great performance!

Shel Silverstein wrote most of the hits Dr.Hook had.Some very funny songs.He also wrote most of the songs for Old Dogs CD - Waylon Jennings,Bobby Bare,Jerry Reed & Mel Tillis' group.The man was insanely talented and diverse,from being a multi instrument musicain,author,cartoonist to theatre.

i loved this version but i love Jim Stafford too.

Lol, I missed the entire 70's & 80's & most of the 90's-oh, that wonderful leafy green stuff!

Hit #37 in Billboard. God bless!

Because I got high Because I got high Because I got hiiigh

Ironically, I do remember this song. I just didn't remember who sang it!

You should post the B side "I ain't workin'" That's a terrific song that i'd like to hear again!

i got stoned an i missed it haha

I got stoned and I missed it

Dr Hook did a cover of this.

Could you upload the song by Jim Staffoed entitled "Your Bulldog drinks Champagne"? Thanks..

Lyrics are altered quite a bit from Dr.Hook's hippie version.

I think Dr. Hook did a rendition of this song

thay did

21 seconds of dead air before it comes in

I always post the B Sides - here's the link - thanks!!! /watch?v=DEWZKGhmMw4

Check out the 1972 original version written and performed by Shel Silverstein, lyrics much more "robust". Dr. Hook then covered the tune with pretty much Silverstein's lyrics. Stafford's version is tamed.

I'm about half stoned as it is. I just wonder how sober my fiance thinks that I will be when I go to see her and meet her coworkers. This should be very interesting...

He changed the lyrics.

No problem!!! I don't have that one, I'll keep a look out for it though. In the meantime, TracyLee103 has a video of him performing it live on TNN youtube(dot)com/watch?v=QyYKnhtoij0

I personally prefer the version Shel sang himself. A LOT less subtle

When people ask me how prom was

I found a studio recording from Achoou youtube(dot)com/watch?v=5TQ3pC9W1o4&NR=1

is he still alive??

XD

not just a good singer he can play malaguena better than rot claek so him in branson

Doctor Hook's is much better

THAT SUCKS

Hit #37 in Billboard. God bless!
