Steve Goodman: I'm My Own Grandpa

[oliverbrisland]

finaly a way to explane why i am my own grandfarther without incest

[arinvests]

Excellent old song by Steve, ~ Arthur

[bumperstickerguy]

This is reason incest ought to be kept in the family!

[curbshoppin]

Steve was a genius

[arky25]

I remember when Uncle Floyd did this song!

[GriffonKeeper]

My brain hurts!!

[johnnyhuis]

Mr. Steve Goodman is a very talented writer!

[chamberlandbigshtyl1]

Steve Goodman is the best friend you never realized you had!!! I miss you brother sorry I didn't say it as much when you ruled the city!!!

[Pasalaqcua]

Such outstanding acoustic guitar playing,

[alexanderalexanders]

why would you want to skip to the lyrics at 0:42? I want to treasure every second of this song.

[MyMoppet52]

I can almost follow this version. I didn't have a chance with the version on the radio a long time ago. Love Steve's version. Thank you for posting.

[Drmovieskull]

Is this possible...even if it's not it's a pretty cool song!

[JPP311]

@Drmovieskull It is possible...years ago I drew a tree of sorts.  It is very possible.

[ledder68]

I haven't laughed so hard since Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue."

[UP58]

Unfortunately (for me, I guess), Steve Goodman has not recorded this song for distribution. I wish he would, especially since my father, Moe Jaffe, was the lyricist; Dwight Latham was the composer.

[prometheus5700]

@UP58 Unfortunately, Mr Goodman passed away in 1984. I don't think he's recording anymore. Except on Pearly Gates Records.

[Oldiesmann]

Nice rendition and a nice change from the usual style of this song.

[Jontongweir]

You suck!!!! That's horrible!!! You made my ears cry!!!! You ruined the song!!!! Go die in a hole Steve goodman!!!!!!!

[SSchus87]

@Jontongweir You are stupid. Steve Goodman is a legend. If you don't like him, fine. But take your comments elsewhere. BTW, Steve Goodman is dead. Show him a bit of respect.

[darrindow]

@Jontongweir eat &%$# and die naked you ignorant piece of pond scum. Ruined is a subjective opinion your free to hold and share or as Goodman says in a love song I think is outstanding, "You're the girl I love" SING IT FROM THE OCEAN, but watch your statements about the man that has contributed positive things to world who has already passed away or hunt you down and spit in your face fully prepared for anything you opt to do about it.

[kerrgal]

What great guitar work. Such a great artist, who left us too soon.

[hangfriar]

I have heard many versions of this song,but have not heard Steve Goodman's version until finding it here.

The first time i heard "I'm My Own Grandpa" was from playing a Grand Ole Opry commemorative album that was sold to make $ for restorations. The album included a small piece of the original blue Martha White Flour stage backdrop.

The album attributed this song to Oscar and Lonzo who performed it at the Opry.

Thanks alot,Janice E. Laney, for selling all my albums!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[mmasny]

Alright, I got lost in the middle.

[BarfingButt]

Originally recorded by Lonzo & Oscar in 1947. That version has been posted and can be found with a search, but personally I like Steve's version better.

[fjccommish]

Whenever he thinks, he gets tired of his grandpa's stories.

[justmusicandme]

Makes me lol.

[louswire]

hardly surprising that Steve recorded this... after touring with Jethro Burns... (of Homer and Jethro fame)... Homer and Jethro had a pretty big hit with this song... I don't know who wrote it, but there you are...

I like this version, thanx for putting it on the tube.

[sampistachio]

It was written by Moe Jaffe and Dwight Latham.

[bibs5]

awesome

[nllleonard]

LOVE Steve Goodman! BIg thanks for this! ;)))

[mrsuavelukez12]

this makes me laugh....

Thanks Steve for making a version of this song!!!

[syncopater999]

One of the great old songs from Grandpa Jones, though it originated in the 1940s. Very clever and enjoyable.
