My niece cried when her aunt (my wife) trimmed her hair just a little shorter than she wanted. Her dad, my brother, hammed it up and told her, "It's so short, we'll have to call you Fred". That was over 50 years ago, and family still calls her Freddie! We saw Ray at CabaRay last year, and expect to go back before Ray retires (we're the same age, both like what we do, and neither of us has retired yet).

I decided to try something different one time. I cut my quite long hair up to my neck. I walked in the house and my two sons cried. Almost 20 years later and I have not cut it since lol

As some people have mentioned on here, the 2nd verse is missing from this music video as it was cut down for time. Even as it was released in its single-version, the runtime is still 4 minutes, which is pretty long for a comedy single. The choice was made to edit a verse out for the music video which also helped keep the production costs down. This is a pretty common practice as many songs have a single-version which is shorter for videos & airplay. Thank you!

I wound up bald when I said the wrong words. I didn’t go to that barber again. I also had a situation when my barber got fired. Following that, my haircuts weren’t nearly as good. Some time later, I stumbled upon him at another barbershop 18 blocks west of my apartment. After I stumbled upon him, I went to him again. I have been going to him for twelve years altogether. There’s so much truth in this song!

Saw a new barbershop $30 haircut I'm greatful 4 my barbershop with a tinny sounding radio speaker plays the oldies station a old pup that hangs out in the shop mounted perch in the empty fish tank deer head on the wall magazine selection of trains/ model trains/ guns/ deer hunting only 1 barber at all times in his 70s with shakey hands that causes the scissors to stab me every now and then yet his mind is still there and all day long telling dad jokes and will never judge you no matter what walk of life you come from and if you ask for anything other then a trim or buzzcut it won't look all that great yet he's been a staple of the area since long b4 I was born 33 years back and you just can't beat the old time barbershop and the customer base it really gives you a great appreciation for the past and ones elders brings me right back to my youth and the shop I grew up in just like the lyrics in the song and with today's inflation its a blessing still for all these years he only charges $5 for any haircut you ask for $2 more if you ask for a face shave me and the entire city will deeply miss him and his shop when his time comes or his his mind goes because I don't know of a single shop just like his and how it used to always be instead you'll be lucky to find a place charging $18 a buzzcut and its always some gal fresh out of school or thick on the accent that makes it hard to hold a conversation while the top 7 same songs play all day long I truly feel his beloved establishment is thing of the past and truly a time machine he even has a working corded rotary phone and just for the record the mounted perch in the fish are real......REAL DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as you don't discriminate, use your religion to harm others, or try to shove it down other people's throat, nobody cares. The US is predominantly Christian. By a huge margin.

When the song was selected as a single release in 1985 the second verse that you're referring to, where Ray encounters the punk rock barbershop, was edited out for time. Radio, back then, typically wanted songs no longer than 3 minutes...any song longer than that, and being played, happened to be extremely rare. For example.. Ray's 1972 recording of "All My Trials", a Top-10 Adult-Contemporary chart, had a lengthy run time as well...well over 4 minutes. The radio edit trimmed it down to a little less than 3 minutes. "The Blue Cyclone", in it's entirety, is over 10 minutes long...the radio edit, while it clocks in over 5 minutes, was significantly shorter in length but it became a hit. Two other singles around the same time period titled "Southern Air" and "The People's Court" were never edited for radio but they, too, became hits for Ray. Each of those songs are well over 4 minutes a piece in an era where typical country radio singles were less than 3 minutes. Today, though, country songs can run well over 5 minutes and there's no request for any edits.
