bollocks to all this PC crap , just gives the likes of you something to whine about in your dull little life , when this was made it was all about fun , you shower make it offensive , get a life !!
We once saw a group called The three discos do this at our local working mens club,they were brilliant we would love to see them do it again.Brilliant.
Always amazed that Ray Stevens did all the vocals, before computers and digital effects. Bridget, for example, was done by drawing out the words (so they'd be the right length when sped up) while singing slowly, followed by speeding up the recording afterwards (to get the high-pitched voice). The three backup singers (Strawberry and The Shortcakes) is the result of multiple similar recordings mixed together, with Ray harmonizing with himself during those recordings. I dig it! I really dig it!
Issued late in 1970, it reached the Top-50 here in America and the Top-5 in England in early 1971. It was available as a single-only until a release of a "Greatest Hits" collection later. Ray a music video of this song decades later...incorporating limited animation.

Play this somewhere between The Chipmunks, Pinky & Perky, Babylon Zoo's "Spaceman", and Drummond's "Daddy Cool".
