I seen this as a kid and thought about bringing a squirrel to church to see what would happen 😂

I live in Pascagoula!! I grew up listening to old Ray Stevens always loved listening to his songs 🎵

I remember listening to Ray Steven's on cassette as a child......never realized until now, but he's got a really good singing voice

Last summer I was watching over my recently deceased uncle's farm house, he didn't have any cable or anything for his tv, but a vcr and some Ray Stevens tapes. I never heard of him until that night, but I spent the whole evening watching his tapes and loving every minute of it, he really helped me get through that tough time. Ray Stevens is hilarious.

Back when I was a teenager my Daddy was the pastor of a small Assembly of God church. A friend of mine and I was watching a Mouse running around on the platform while Daddy was preaching. He turned and walked over where the Mouse was and the Mouse jumped off the platform and ran to the back of the church a woman on about the three row of sets seen it and screamed a man on the other side of the church thought she was doing it because she being bless by God was and was shouting and God was make him feel good already so he jumped up and started shouting then it just moved over the whole church. Daddy, my friend, that little woman and I was the only ones that know what really started it. So some time God can bless people by a little anamil. After she regained her composure after seeing the Mouse she got a blessing from God to. I think about that Mouse everytime I hear this song. That was in the 60s when that happened almost 2 ppl years before ray releases his song. It brought back memories then and still does every time I hear today.

This just never gets old.

And we all got re baptised whether we needed it or not.

More modern churches need a visit from a "half-crazed mississippi squirrel". Seriously.

Only Ray Stevens could sing this song this way and get a way with it. I still say Everything is Beautiful has got to be one of his best songs. though.

Everytime im in a a bad mood this always puts me in a good mood

My grandpa had this on 8 track when I was a kid, Ray Stevens is a baaad man. Toss up between this one and "The Streak"!

Still A Great Song No matter how many times you listen

Idk why I remembered this out of the blue but had to play it - every bit as funny as it used to be! What makes it so funny is I can see some of the kids I knew and grew up with doing this and similar goings-on happening lol.

First comment in 9 years. I’m only 14, but I had this cd for my radio! Loved it.

That squirrel is my spirit animal.

If you need something to laugh at and cheer up with, this is it!

Haven't seen this in 20 years, laughing, tears rolling...😂😭

"Sins that would make a sailor blush with shame!"

Music from my childhood...it's just so freaking cool to remember those days...

Ray Stevens is got to be one of the funniest guys in the music business. This has been my favorite song/music video of his.

Remember listening to this record as a kid , such good fun songs. Played em for my kids lol

We need to put a squirrel in all the churches now-a-dayz!!!😎🏁

My church was talking about their planned mission trip to Pascagoula today .... my hubby and I started singing this in the balcony...lol

SOMETHIN'S GOT A HOLD ON ME!!!

This song reminds me of my grandpa and I miss him terribly and I love him so much I just cry when I listen to this song

Omgash, just heard this for the first time and I have tears flowing down my face.This is so very funny fight at this time in our lives.Everyone needs a laugh sometimes or we would all be crazy.Like some of us aren't already!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂♥️💖❤️👍👍👍👍👍We need some squirrels in more churches 👍❤️💖😂😂

I've always liked this song and his sense of humor!

LOL, I have this on my playlist. The looks I get when it plays over my speakers is priceless.

God bless Ray Stevens

My favorite gospel hymn.

Thank God for Ray Stevens....

I was singing this at the restraunt window and the guy was staring at me 🤣

Remember hearing this when I was a youngster....😉👍

Best chaos I've heard of in a long time! Hahaha!

I wish something like this would happen in the church I grew up in. I stopped attending as soon as I was 18.

2:56 when he baptized himself😂😂

RAY STEVENS IS THE MOST GREATEST SINGER AND HE HAS THE MOST FUNNIEST SONGS EVER. I'M HOPING SOMEDAY I CAN MEET RAY STEVENS THAT IS PLACED IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE. THANK YOU RAY FOR ALL THE YEARS YOU MADE PEOPLE LAUGH YOU'RE A GREAT GUY. FROM CAPTAIN RONNIE LEE JONES. OF MARANA , ARIZONA

What sins could Sister Better Than you confess to that would make a sailor blush?

First song I thought of when I watched a bunch of managers chased a squirrel into our pharmacy bY accident

A classic to be sure.

Sister Bertha better then you every church has one of them. Ray thanks for making me laugh my azz off.

Love to listern to Ray Stevens singing

I can name a few churches that need a visit from Mr. Squirrel

Always been one of my fav. childhood songs...

I've always loved this song & the video is classic.

Ray Stevens is the best comedian known. Still woundering if the squirrel did happen in church?

BEST SONG EVER!!!!!

What else can you say and chuckle but "higher and higher"?!🤣🎯🙌🏾🐿 Stay safe everyone!

That squirrel stirred some church folk up dat Sunday...lol!!!

This song is awesome.

Bertha's why I left the "First Church" 20 yrs ago...So revealing! 😅

I just discovered this,it is excellent

Positive Proof that God has a sense of humor!

Sister Bertha is the same actor that played margret in It's me again Margret

Many long years ago, I went to a church in Alabama that looked just like this one. Yep, they needed, and still need, that squirrel although I do believe that a skunk would have an even better result.

IMO more Mississippi squirrel need to be turned loose in this world. It might just improve it.

@obryen i know what you mean. right near the part where the bertha started naming names I never noticed the one in yellow look at her husband at 2:20. Looks like someone will be sleeping on the couch for the rest of his life.

My dad got me hooked on the song

Well when I was a kid I loved big rigs my dad is a trucker he went to that place

The Westboro church could use a Mississippi squirrel or two.

AMEN

I can attest to the fact it is still hot and humid in Pascagoula up to almost he end of October. I thought there could not be other place in the South Like North Carolina when the air is stagnant and the humidity is so thick. But I then went to Ole Mississippi a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit.

Sister Bertha Betterthanyou of the 1st Self-Righteous Church lmao

I was there,,the day that happened!! Hehehehe

Still love this
