I didn't have enough characters to add this in my previous comment...
Ray re-recorded this song in 1995 for inclusion in his movie, GET SERIOUS. This 1995 re-recording is what's mostly available but I'm sure the 1986 original can be tracked down, too.
GET SERIOUS was a direct-to-home video movie which ran 110 minutes in length...almost 2 hours...filled with spoken dialogue and newly filmed music videos including one for this song. He did a limited animation music video of this song, too.
This song originated in 1986 on a comedy album he did called "Surely You Joust". The original studio version is also found on 1987's "Greatest Hits, Volume Two". This recording is from a performance in 1992 at his now closed Branson, Missouri theater. It appeared in video form on a 1993 VHS home video called RAY STEVENS LIVE, which was transferred to CD by Curb Records in 1995. There's a 1986 performance currently on You Tube of this song as well.
This is from the VHS, I have it still to this day!
Can he eeesse iissse eeeese issse, does he have my charm? :P
