    KSHE 95 was the BEST (back when I was a teen). I remember mowing the lawn on a Sunday in Webster Groves, with a push lawn-mower, so I could listen to the radio. The played album sides with a REAL and LIVE DJ (this was late 70's). They turned me on to a lot of southern rock (they would play Marshall Tucker's Where We All Belong album, with live cuts of Take the Highway and other greats that were ten minutes long). And if not KSHE, it was KMOX with Jack Buck!

  • and every last dad-gum redneck in America

  • I know this sounds juvenile, but this is totally the theme song for Swedish Chef from the Muppets!!!

  • k, I don't know what KSHE is

    please advise

  • @IamRhondaNightingale KSHE Rock radio station out of St. Louis. KSHE (Kay-SHE) the Pig (logo mascot) was Album Rock station back in the day. Don't know what it is today. I haven't lived in Midwest for a long time now.

  • @NbrLine You are correct. Still the same format and logo.

  • This is a "great" song! especially for clogging, dancing, flat-footing, buck dancing-makes me laugh when i hear it

    Uhh Ehh Uh Ah Ah Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang.

  • @SloDreamReality

    Hell, more than 4 chickens were confiscated, the dudes that were scoopin weed & smokin cat poop had all their chickens taken away !

  • I know a old Roadie who toured with these guys back in the day.lol.He has some stories.That HAD to be a hoot back then!

  • Saw them with Allman Brothers back in late 70's in Fort Wayne Indiana. They had a big bust in Fort Wayne at a concert earlier so people were scared to come out and go to a concert. Maybe 2500 people at the most at the show. Sat against the wall front stage and center. What an awesome show!!!!

  • We would dance around like a bunch of idiots to this song smoking Thai Sticks

  • this tune makes me wanna scoop weed and smoke cat poop all day

  • My mom hated this song. I'd play the album before school in the morning, while I was getting ready, and would have it rather loud to hear the song (among other reasons) over the blow dryer. She would come in my room, turn the stereo down and go out the door and close it. As soon as she did, I'd turn it back up again and then she would be back to turn it down again. LOL!!!!!

  • I have had this song in my head since I first heard it 35 years ago...not constantly, but in the back of my mind:)

  • @jaxpjisin It has the same effect on me too. Until today, I had only heard this song one time before, until I decided today to google the lyrics "laser beam...in my dream". But, ever since my crazy friend Bobby Walker played it for me over 30 years ago, it's been up there in me brain, occasionally coming around on "loop".

  • KSHE  is awsome

  • Thanks, I am buzzed and it was so good I made my wife a great meal while I....not sure what I was

  • drinking a quart of natural ice after work at 11:11 pm and listening to some chicken train . loving it

  • Foot stompin' good!

  • we sang this at school in the lunchline for extra chicken LOL!!!

  • @valnnc1 NICE!!

  • my dad is a truck driver and he trains the new people and he plays this song every third song just to mess with them and they always end up getting it on there i pod or iphone.

  • we went to Unitarian church in Spfd. Mo then out for a hell of a party at the james river a frame house love ya then and still love ya'all now

  • This song is a real howl. I've loved it since the early 70's.

  • These guys smoked more pot than Bob Marley lol

  • OMD .....Ozark Mountain Daredevils

    OMD.......Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

    Don't mix them up

  • @tertommy Well being that this is an ozark mountain daredevil video, I don't think anybody would.

  • GREAT SONG, brings me back to my youth when my parents took us out to the cabin and my brother and i would be woken late at night to laughter and this song. This is the first song of the soundtrack of my life!

  • @djinksy What a totally great story man. Seriously. Those really WERE the good old days, and what a great tune to start your life track off with.

  • This used to be my favorite song when I was a kid lol. Thank you KSHE for being so awesome!

  • @coolstuff123456789

    LOL, mine too. I probably haven't heard this song since I was 7 or 8 years old. I had forgotten all about it until tonight when I happened across it here.

    God I love YouTube. Brings back a lot of memories.

  • @coolstuff123456789 lol i am a kid im 10 im on my older sis u tube and my uncle got out his ipod and played this in the car best song eva but my older sis says worst excuse for a song comment and thunbs up if you think she is wrong!

  • @lol5ko Wow. what an idiotic comment

  • @coolstuff123456789 Me too, dude! that's what made me think of it just now and I got to come hear it :D yay!

  • @coolstuff123456789 There used to be a local band in Southern Illinois called Foot Loose, they would play this song and of course nearly everyone was in the long line dancing through the bar inside and out. lol fun times.

  • I'm in Joplin and this is most certainly dixie!

  • California boy , I like this very much.

  • I have always liked this song and everything else from them. Who fuckin cares WHERE you're from? Damn KIDS

  • The mason dixon also runs north and south between MD and DE. So how can you really tell if you are above it or below it. bein from southeast MO its in my blood to be southern. Oh and LCANT123 i think your caps lock key is stuck. You might want to get that checked out.

  • all my friends like rap and stuff now,, i do to but to get drunk, its gotta be songs like these, classic rock all the way!!!

  • I learned to do chicken calls from this song in the 70's. I still sing/play this today along with the chicken calls. Great tune and a great band.

  • i remember my mom and her friends gettin all into this - i did too at the young age of 8 - that was years ago - still remember how to do the chicken part - my mom still laughs at it

  • hell i live in missouri whats so bad about it?

  • OKAY THIS COMMENT FROM MOCATMANCB FORCED ME TO SIGN UP . I AM FROM KANSAS AND ONCE I MOVED TO NORTH CAROLINA WHERE I WAS ACCUSED OF BEING A YANKEE. THE MASON DIXON LINE IS LOCATED AT THE LATITUDE 40 WHICH IN TERMS OF BEING CONSIDERED A YANK OR NOT, THIS LINE DETERMINES THE BOUNDARIES...I HAVE SHUT MANY A SOUTHERNER UP WITH THIS ONE, BECAUSE IT IS A FACT...I WAS BORN BELOW THE MASON DIXON LINE AT LATITUDE 40...DO YOUR RESEARCH. I AM NOT A YANKEE

  • @LCANT123 i'll give ya that one. more in where your sympathies lie than where you're born anyway. i'm just glad there is someone from KS who isn't a jayhawkin' red leg.lol

  • TRANS STILE COUNTRY MUSIC..SUPERRRRRRRR

  • That's the bad part of being born in illinois,You're a yankee by default. Even though the rest of the state is backwoods.

  • Someone needs to kill that damn chicken and bury it after BBQ'n it in the fire pit!

  • Hoooooooooooooooooo  doggy!!!!!

  • Favorite keg song back in the day. Bunch of drunks scratchin around the bon fire. Great times to remember! SHO*

  • mocat,

    the Mason-Dixon line didn't go anywhere near Mo. It seperated a portion of PA from 3 other states in the NE. Where did you get your incorect information? As far as slavery, it was a very mixed state, since it was a border state of KS & IL.

  • @rodgekrj you can look at a lot of different maps from different times that may or may not show many different borders. i am referring to what is commonly known in my part of the country as the "mason dixon border". you may be correct, but the term mason dixon line has come to represent the dividing line between confederate and union states. sorry for the confusion.

  • How bout that juice harp

  • @slambobby my mom used to say that too, but its called a Jews Harp.

  • southern il fuckin love kshe

    

  • in fact in Missouri, the hill people, like those in Tennessee, favored the Unioin. Rebel sympathy was more widespread in the north of the state, annd among the welathy planters in the bootheel

  • Where the hell were they playng I heard nothing,the Chicago market blows!

  • In the early '70s we took our 2 year old daughter with us to see OMD several times at Cowtown Ballroom in KC; this was her favorite song back then. Over the years she's collected every OMD album, switched "favorites" severals times and caught them in concert many times. And I'm proud to say, here she is 38 years later headin' over 400 miles on the back of a Harley to see them in Springfield 9-10-10. True quality never goes out of style!

  • @glendakansas Theyre still around?Awsome!!1I remember about ten years ago,walking 3 hours,to a bar they were playing.the show got cancelled,& i got trashed,& walked 3 hours home.never got to see them!

  • I am one of those NY yakees... I like this. Maybe southern in a previous life.

  • Laser beams were part of the Confederatte arsenal? I'm in the deep South of England and just like music that makes my toes tap uncontrollably. I like this crowd and have done ever since the early '70s. Not quite CSN vocal-wise or Little Feat music-wise but hey, nice to have all 3 bands huh?

  • I can skins me 3 coons to this song ....beat that Missourians Rock Chalk

  • i can't decide if this is more redneck the gypsy forest or not I just can't do it.

  • Oh yeah. Born and raised in Missoura (spelling intentional)!!! If you are from there, you know. :) Awesome place to grow up!!! (back then, anyway...)

  • I remember my dad listening to their albums to the point the grooves were wearing thin!!! I love OMD!!! (OMD, not to be confused with that 80's pop band nonsense....) :)

    I guess that's what you get having a hippie Australian as a dad!!! (G-D rest his soul in peace...)

  • I just love this crazy tune! Thanks!

  • I'll just sit there and smile...on them there sacks of seeds. (Wildwood Weed), Jim Stafford.

  • i wanna ride on the chicken train!

  • Hey Mocatmancb.....my home town was the Confederate capital for a day, Jeff Davis was passing thru.......SW.. MO...........gottaluv it !!!!!

  • I'll just drink a beer and watch you trip, watch him bale hay and play dixie chicken by little feat!

  • the chicken vocals crack me up!

  • OMG what a happy song this was ...dopping some 4 way and smiling

  • GO MISSOURI!!

  • the baldknobbers from the ozarks fought against both the north and south,people that had no right to invade thier land and cause all kinds of trouble,poor hillbillies didnt own slaves and didnt care who did what as long as they stayed away and left them alone!

  • we use to go to the drive inn and play this song as loud as our stereo would blast and dog all the low riders with are hill billy hats and all i think this song scared the crap out of them

  • Why in God's name would anyone "thumbs down" this song???

  • Whee Haaa!!!!

  • I blow this harp away

  • i grew up with KSHE 95 "Real Rock Radio"

  • LASSERRR BEAM.....in my dream... :P

  • Missouri was claimed by CSA without formal secession along with Oklahoma,Kentucky ,west virginia about 3 other states not including the area of southern new mexico and southern arizona

    sic semper tyrannis.

  • @1a2b3cdf3 ......West Virginia was not a state until 1863... that part of Virginia had strong union ties and "seceded" from Virginia and was given statehood

  • This the music you should be playing in your Model T as you're being chased by the cops while running moonshine.

  • YESSSS !

  • @prettyvacant2007 you my friend are fucked

  • @prettyvacant2007 - If you don't like the band... then how did you end up here? Wrong turn at the Alabama border?

    Also, all the Missourians I've met have been lovely people.

  • lets all just roll a fat one and live in peace. with some god damn good music!!!!

  • @isaiahharmon I'm with you on that one.Leave the division to the Politicians !!!

  • Ozark Mountain Music Festival..1974...nuff said *S*

  • if you have never hung chickens, you dont understand this song. badassssss song

  • hells to the yea! boyah!!!

  • oh hell yeah--Bring back some good memories of all of us in this party town of Sharon, PA. Keg parties in the cemetery, trippin at Nelson Ledges, keg parties in the golf course and on and on and on!!!

  • Our Missouri boys. Oh yeah! Get on board the Chicken Train!

  • Back in the mid to late 70's the Ozark Mt. Daredevils were just as big as many other bands like Rush or Kansas or Head East in the midwest.

    Very Sweet to see it again.

  • what does this song mean?

  • @afox4131 dude no one knows, its just awesome

  • Its about a guy that lost his horse in the rain

  • Arkansas is full of chicken farmers. Tyson Chicken headquarters, Maybe its a common thing to see in the area down in the Ozarks

  • does it matter?

    yeehaaaaaaaaaa............

  • I have not heard this song for 25 years!!! Did not know who sang, I LOVE youtube, thanks for posting ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • wooooooooooo :)

  • my fav ozarks track-ROCK ON!!

  • I'm a "Yank". Yep, I'm from Mo.,jus' like the band is.

  • being from MO doesn't make you a yankee. MO was a confederate state for a while, and was the most populated state in the confederacy. the mason-dixon line ran about 100 miles north of the AR line, so in southern MO, where the ozarks are, where i am, no way to be a yankee.

  • @mocatmancb mason dixon line was not that far west, learn your history

  • @casting819 it didn't go as far west as missouri? i think you need to check your facts. anyway, we could both be wrong, who cares. where the line lies is not the point. the point is where our hearts lie. southern missourians support the cause of state's rights. we did then, and we still do today.

  • @mocatmancb You don't have to be a reb to love the daredevils. Yankees love them too! : )

  • far southern missouri is southern, especially southeast missouri. central and northern missouri is pure midwestern

  • @mocatmancb yo're absolutely right, my man! I try to explain this to folks all the time. They need to revisit their history books.

  • @mocatmancb THANK YOU!!! A very common misconception about Missourians. Long live the South!!

  • Comment removed

  • @19laceymarie96 Missouri was the home of many northern and southern natives and the divided loyalties of the state were evidenced by the fact that 100,000 men enlisted in the Federal army and 50,000 joined the rebel forces. The Missouri Partisan Rangers was a group of men who formed their own army to fight the Union troops. These men supported the Confederacy because they shared the same enemy .

  • @19laceymarie96 you are very wrong. i don't know what else to say to you.

  • @mocatmancb From East TN from generations dating back to the early 1700s, and in the mountains of E. TN, affiliations were very divided...Nowadays some good ol' boys still fly their confederate flags in the rear windows of their pickups, but in many cases, they have NO clue which side their great great great grandfathers fought on.....that war ended 145 years ago, and we all live with the outcome......Need more be said?

  • @MrCrosstiewalker yeah, it looks like we need to have another one. we have another overbearing president who thinks he can do whatever he wants whether it's constitutional or not. some states aren't going to stand for it. same situation all over again. never forget the past or you are doomed to repeat it.

  • @mocatmancb I don't know where this thread began, but I think it is too complicated to call MO a Confederate state. It had been a slave state prior to the Civil War, but it was a "border state that sent men, armies, generals, and supplies to both opposing sides, had its star on both flags, had separate governments representing each side, and endured a neighbor-against-neighbor intrastate war within the larger national war" (wikipedia). BTW, I grew up in the MO Ozarks and wish I was still there.

  • @NoMoreDepression the fact is MO has belonged to 3 different nations, the USA, the CSA, and France before the loiusiana purchase.

  • @mocatmancb FANTASTIC song

    

  • see someone else besides afroman knows chicken sounds are great in music!

  • tooo funny--only cuz i got high

  • omg i remmber this song

  • I'm a damn Yank but this song will forever remind me of 10th grade. Great memories! Love it!

  • My "1st love" - maybe because he (they) introduced me to this song - he played a mean guitar and sang - brother played a awesome banjo, and the dog's name was Tramp ( after sandletramp) song

  • Note to marcjorgenson:

    You're one of *The Chosen*...*The Fortunate*, m8..

    I *never* heard this on radio Back In The Day - and Chicago was (is?) a *major airplay bastion* for the U.S.

    Nonetheless, it's *still an ALL-TIME-UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE o'mine!!

    I'm gettin' the CD reissue as a Christmas Gift to *meself*, eh?

    Thanx again, m8..

  • well I might be a damn yank but this shit rocks!
