This song makes me think of my aunt. We lived in a tiny little town with more churches than people. My aunt was a scandal because she was an unwed mother and "gasp" wore pants and make up. She always said she should show up at the little school her kids went to and share all the gossip she knew about them. Since they felt it necessary to talk about her and question her kids. My grandpa was a bootlegger and just about all of them stopped by at his house after church.
Communities always pick out the person who is the most different and make it their project to make that persons life a living hell intill they move or explode. Humans, especially righteous ones, are cruel and vicious when they feel like it. And people wonder why theres crime and murder...
Love you Jeannie, You brought a world of compassion in this song, I do believe you are the only one that could have ever sung this song. I for one, dearly love it.
I could compare thi song with the Vally i lived in, i called the associstion that i was a member of till i caught myself on, So wehn i address this ASS, i put Lambourn Valley PJA, Professional Jockey ASS, Newbury head den.
what do the lyrics mean "mrs taylor sure seems to like to use a lot if ice whenever he's away" .... in drinks or something??? ive never understood that line!
@junglejezzabel Update: I just googled chewing ice and it looks like it can be a sign of sexual frustration. I'm guessing she has a little sumthin sumthin on the side with him so she gets frustrated and chews ice when he is away. xD Have to love that PTA panel!
lol that s how all them pld big fat a ss bizzy boddys are all ways gota stick ther nose in everybodys bizz it was like this when i was growing up i love this song ty for puting it up every 1 needs to mind ther own ther own bizz n F off again ty for the i love it
They did a second version of this movie If i remember right. I have seen this movie a dozen times thru the years and I will never tire of it. Do not judge lest ye be judge! Don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see! DOWN WITH HYPOCRISY!!!
When I hear this song I have to laugh and think of my own Mama. She was a 33 year old divorcee in Baptist East Texas. My sister and I were loved and cared for by a mother who worked tirelessly 50 hours a week as a waitress in this small Texan town where middle aged and old men constantly flirted with her She took it in stride and with laughter. The neighbors would speak behind her back, calling her a whore. The kids at school couldn't speak to us because they were good church folk.
@jeff62rey I remember those days. I grew up in CA, but the same attitude was there in the 50s. A divorced woman was a whore. Sounds like you grew up fine with a wonderful mom. Wish I could say the same.
@jeff62rey wow ...i think there is alot of us out there,,,, thank goodness there are those that stand up and say this is me....if u dont like it ,,,,so what....i like your mom already,,,,and yes they were harper valley PTA,,,but what is so sad,,,,it is still going on today,,,,
@LAchickee Hey now! Not all Christians are hypoctrites! I will cede that there are some who are, but not all. I am a Christian and I have compassion for people and I love and care for people...just like the Bible tells me to!
And the story continues. God I simply love this song. I remember begging my father to turn up the radio in the truck as a child. Especially when this song came on. It was one of my favorites! :) Such memories!
This song always reminds me of my mom, it's exactly how she would have reacted if they tried to tell her how to dress.....actually it's exactly how she did react when they critisized her for giving me inherit the wind, there never was a more interesting parent teacher confrence.

I love it! That was my Mama, when I was growing up! I was so proud of her! All the other kids always said how pretty she was! Thanks! Kimberly Hanratty White
That's about right, the whole school district is rotten lying in bed together teaching the kids again. But remember folks, they all are friends. Friends like that one wouldn't need enemies. No its not just a movie.
i so live in a small town and trust me they are all so corrupt, when we have the asst district attorney arrested for a d u i while at work, and then the mayor arrested for corrupt activities, judges giving children to drug addicts , lol but it's true just check out placerville ca it's front pages news, trust me you DON"T want to live here if you have childreni, if you love your children DON"T do what i did your kids will hate you trust me ,
i rememeber when this song came out it was still playing a couple years later, there was such a controversary about this osng and now days this song is nothing naughty about it. we should live in these times again, and maybe the world would be a better place. so hats off to tom hall and jeanie c riley it a sound that brings back alot of childhood memeories.
we need to go back to the days, when the PTA could send a note home to parents telling them they are out of control. To many parent who just dont have a clue.
She is DEFINITELY still alive. I saw her in San Francisco last night. She just wrote a book which I bought and had her sign. Then she was interviewed. It was great fun!
My mother wasn't a very happy woman when she had to leave work one day I was in Junior High to take me home to change from out of my Koolots & 4" platforms --seems if you weren't a cheerleader back then -- if you had "too much leg" to show it was just all wrong !
This song gives me chills. It reminds me of my mom. When I was in grade school, she went down and physically threatened my 1st grade teacher for slapping my left hand hand with a ruler; trying to make me write right-handed! She would've 'socked it to her' too!
@6superb9 - haha We had a teachers who would bust a pointer over our heads;even make us wet our hands before giving us the razor strap.Today if they as much as grabbed you and shook you,they would be looking at a law suit;but we would get it at school and when we got home we would get it again!
@ptaker762 How the hell is she the " Queen " of country music when she is just a one hit wonder ? What a slap in the face to the true QUEEN of country music Ms Kitty Wells. Wasn't for this great Tom T Hall song Jeanie C Riley would still be filing papers !
This is a popular song done in karaoke bars. Love the clips with Barbara Eden. She is gorgeous. I was always a fan of I Dream of Jeannie. I wish I had seen the movie these clips were taking from.
@serienfan1 It was a grammy winning song by Jeannie C. Riley in 1968. Then in 1969 it was a TV Variety Special hosted by Jeannie C. Riley and Jerry Reed. Then in 1978 it was a movie starring Barbara Eden. Then in 1981-82 it was a TV series. But this video is Jeannie C. Riley's original recording and clips from the movie from 1978.
God I love this song....I am a single mom and if your Single and a mother the world has so much to say to you..but its never good job its all ways what you have done wrong..... let them try to walk around in our shoes for awhile..I doubt they would be up on there soap box then.
Producer Shelby Singleton had this song from struggling songwriter Tom Hall, but he was not sold on the song due to the arrangement and the voice of the demo singer. It was a definite copy of the song “Ode to Billy Joe” which was a hit a year prior. The voice of the singer was just too smooth, he thought. This song needed punch and sarcasm. Shelby then heard a song by Jeanne Riley and said, get me that girl and a song I’ve got called “Harper Valley P.T.A.” and I will cut you a million seller.
I Love the song, I Love Jeannie C Riley, I Love Barbara Eden, The Movie was very entertaining.... The song peaked at #1 in August of 1968... Thank you so much for posting this Kanabel YOU ROCK.....
This same sort of hypocrisy is what brought about the downfall of the Romanov dynasty and Imperial Russia. The Czarina pretended to be "religious" but her dalliances with Rasputin were too public to convince the public. Rasputin's reputation for profligacy preceded him in far too many circles that he lost credibility.
It isn't immorality that causes the downfall of civilization. After all, Rome lasted for centuries. It's HYPOCRISY! that is the cause for downfall.
@dakotagerman1 U r not connected to family royalty unless u r connected to their killers. Which probably is more like it, Rasputin was a crypto xew who tricked the family into thinking he could help their sick child. If u r insinuating otherwise then that is a lie. What brought the family down was their cold heartless murders by xews. Is that what u meant to say? Xews who hated Christianity.
That is NOT! what I meant to say. My ancestry is Germans from Russia. (Do a Google search on the Germans from Russia.) We're not Jewish. Besides, what proof do you have Rasputin was Jewish?
@dakotagerman1 Anyway, if u r a Gentile, I wish not to argue with you. I just don't like it when I see the Royal Family slandered after everything they went through.
I forgot Pat Paulson was in that movie! Never had to say a word to be funny.

Producer Shelby Singleton had this song from struggling songwriter Tom Hall, but he was not sold on the song due to the arrangement and the voice of the demo singer. It was a definite copy of the song “Ode to Billy Joe” which was a hit a year prior. The voice of the singer was just too smooth, he thought. This song needed punch and sarcasm. Shelby then heard a song by Jeanne Riley and said, get me that girl and a song I’ve got called “Harper Valley P.T.A.” and I will cut you a million seller.

This same sort of hypocrisy is what brought about the downfall of the Romanov dynasty and Imperial Russia. The Czarina pretended to be "religious" but her dalliances with Rasputin were too public to convince the public. Rasputin's reputation for profligacy preceded him in far too many circles that he lost credibility.
It isn't immorality that causes the downfall of civilization. After all, Rome lasted for centuries. It's HYPOCRISY! that is the cause for downfall.

It isn't a lie! My family ancestry is connected to the Imperial Court so I am qualified thus so to write.
Go back and read my comment again.

@dakotagerman1 U r not connected to family royalty unless u r connected to their killers. Which probably is more like it, Rasputin was a crypto xew who tricked the family into thinking he could help their sick child. If u r insinuating otherwise then that is a lie. What brought the family down was their cold heartless murders by xews. Is that what u meant to say? Xews who hated Christianity.

@TheAmazingamerica
That is NOT! what I meant to say. My ancestry is Germans from Russia. (Do a Google search on the Germans from Russia.) We're not Jewish. Besides, what proof do you have Rasputin was Jewish?

@dakotagerman1 What did u mean when u said "my family ancestory is connected to the Imperial Court?"
I am well aware of the Germans in Russia. I have plenty of proof Raputin was Jewish.

@dakotagerman1 Anyway, if u r a Gentile, I wish not to argue with you. I just don't like it when I see the Royal Family slandered after everything they went through.
