  • Miss ya Jim!!

  • I always cry when watching this part in the movie.

    Jim truly was an excellent actor.

    He made me realize that laughing can help one overcome a lot of stuff.

    R.I,.P Jim Varney/My Favorite Character: Ernest P. Worrell

  • Jim had such a pure voice e rip Jim varney knowwhutImean Vern......

  • They should've released a CD called "Ernest's Greatest Hits" or something and this song would be on it.

  • @InDeAskY1 - Jim will live on in my household that's for sure. I'm 32 years old and still laugh every time I watch one of his movies or video clips.

  • Don't .......... cry........ :'(

  • i love this song! So pretty!

    i miss ya Ernest! You were MY hero growing up! : )

  • Ernest Saves Christmas... ABC Family - Dec. 20th at 7am... HELLZ YEAH!!!

  • @tg0926 They played this on the Family Channel where I'm from at 6 a.m. I was so glad to see that they still put his movies on t.v. Jim's memory will still live on.

  • Miss you, Jim.

  • I love this song, it rings so true. Another good one to listen to after "gee I'm glad it's raining" is "It won't rain all the time" by Jane Siberry. RIP Jim Varney/Ernest P Worell - you are sorely missed!

  • 4 people go away. Ernest rules.

  • @menon123ful ??????

  • Gee I'm glad it's raining There's always something to be thankful for. I'm awfully glad it's raining Cause no one sees your tear drops when it pours. And no one knows the thunder Is your heartbreak in disguise, They think the rainy nights. What put that sad look in your eyes. Sure am glad it's raining. The gentle rythmn soothes the pain inside. I'm glad the stars aren't shining.A wounded warrior needs a place to hide. I thought I had found someone. I could count on til the end.

  • What they wanted was a hero, All I needed was a friend. Gee I'm glad it's raining.I hope the morning sun won't come up soon. As long as it keeps raining, No one knows my heart broke right in two. I thought I had found someone. I could count on til the end. What they wanted was a hero,All I needed was a friend. Sure am glad it's raining. I'm awfully glad it's raining

  • I literally every time I watched this part as a kid and 1 as a adult was in tears I cried n I mean cried over this song n movie, Like water works I tell you and not so mushy but it touched me, I love this movie!!! Love Ernest!!!

  • @menon123ful YOU STINK

  • I'm crying 

  • @opalshuman WTF is wrong with you he is one of the great actors and he put alot of passion in that song

  • Man, I miss Ernest.  R.I.P. Jim Varney. :(

  • This was a part of the Ernest movies I loved the most forever because everyone feels that way sometimes. This is beautiful.

  • He sings well..but..Mr.Varney's"Ernest P.Worrell"is not funny.

  • one of the best ernest movies, for such a comical character he was a great voice and good man.

  • Rest in peace Jim.

  • saddest song in the history of my childhood

  • I remember when jim Varney died... Me and my friends watched all of the Ernest movies and I almost cried at this part......

  • this song, with reflecting on his life, really did stir emotions inside of me.

  • 4 people that dislike can suck it.

  • Man I used to love these movies as a kid. I remembered this song was depressing but wow, it's still upsetting to see Ernest down. This song is really well written though. Whoever wrote it had some considerable songwriting talent.

  • @Jayoung1000 Indeed it is saddening to see a down hearted Ernest P. Worrell, if he can't keep a smile, how are the rest of us supposed to keep it up?

  • Rip Ernest miss ya man.

    

  • Jim Varney you could have a great singing career and might have won a grammy. I will always love you, you are damn funny to the bone. I always look to you to cheer me up.

    R.I.P. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

  • Just saw the Siskle/Ebert drivel which just goes to show why Ernest has more fans than they do; When these goons don't like a movie, I know it's going to be good. They do not understand "range!" Too bad one's dead and the other on the way out so they could read how stupid the people think they truly were.

  • @AlMelco Amen to that!! If I didn't have a mind of my own and listened to them, I would've missed out on some really great movies, like the Ernest ones, and watched some pretty crappy ones, though I'm not saying what they are on a Jim Varney site out of respect.

  • @AlMelco I've said it before and I'll say it again: Critics-Schmitics. The Ernest fans will always know what he means, "KnoWhutImean?"

  • @InDeAskY1 Yes, indeed!

  • This song.. beautiful

    

  • 2 dislikes why?

  • So sad rest in peace jim varney

  • I saw this movie years ago, on a date. The man I was with, cried at this song.  I had respect for him, I understood his reasons. It did surprise me, though, since I didn't think this was the kind of movie that typically makes people cry. Now I see he wasn't the only one. (Incidentally, I later married him, although he is deceased now as well. I hope he and Jim Varney have shaken hands up there.)

  • @cruztacean

    That's so sad!!! :(

  • This is my third favorite Earnest song after Brave Hearts and There Once Was A Man Named Worrell.

  • I've always loved this song...still makes me cry!

  • I miss him so much <33

    Thank you for posting this =)

  • amazing actor. i miss seeig him in his movies!

  • This song is so ridiculously good. Who would have thought that it would come from a movie like this. I love it!

  • gotta be one of my fav movie songs of all time from "Ernest Goes To Camp"

    

  • this song made me cry when i heard it the first time. shoot it still does

    

  • Jim Varney could have a great music career and even win a grammy. Anyway, R.I.P. you're the greatest.

  • Looks like Krader and his musclebound crony disliked this.

  • @WispierTetrahedrons awesome comment - literally lol'd :)

  • Somehow, the fact that Jim Varney can't sing very well actually makes this song all the more heartfelt.

  • @jhillst Actually, Jim Varney sings very well. But the way he sang as Ernest was so cute and hearbreaking. I like the slightly off key sound Ernest makes.

  • I gess he was kinda imoral but he might have been saved by gods grace

  • yeah i cried first time i heard this song while watching this movie its an amazing song

  • RIP jim see you in heaven :) :,(

  • @coneyislanddiscomark WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @InDeAskY1 Lol Just trolling.

  • @coneyislanddiscomark Oh. I just wondered on the remark.

  • This song used to make me cry when I was a kid. I felt so sad for Ernest. Still makes me crack a tear or two :'( RIP Jim Varney, I consider you my childhood friend, and someday I hope to see you again

  • 2/10/11-Jim Varney,  you are missed not only today but everyday. You were a wonderful person and a brilliant actor. You are forever in our hearts. We are still down here, loving and laughing at your movies.

    I hope to be able to meet you one day. You had a way of making others actors kind of fade into the background whenever you were on screen. You had such a caring and giving spirit. R.I.P James Albert Varney June15, 1949-February 10, 2000.

  • He sang this song with so much passion. I hated that Ernest always got picked on. I know it's just a movie but I always get mad when those boys called him a loser and gave him poison ivy as a get well present. Everytime he was treated badly, I just wanted to give him a big hug. especially when he sang this song and had that pained look on his face. He still found the positive in everything and everybody. I loved his optimism and energy.

  • @InDeAskY1 You took the words right out of my mouth. Great Comment. That's what I like about Jim Varney aka Ernest P. Worrell, he's a man that knows how to turn a frown upside down and knows how to fight happiness in tough situations.

  • @MightyDancer80 Thanks. What I don't understand is that Varney was nominated for a 'Razzie' 4 portraying Ernest P. Worrell in this movie, & the next year, he won an Emmy for what? Portraying Ernest P. Worrell. Varney definitely didn't get the credit he deserved. Even after 25 years, I still get excited whenever I put in an Ernest movie. I just got finished watching the 'Christmas' 1 this morning, which I can watch at any season. Too bad he didn't get 2 save Easter and the 4th of July, 2.

  • @InDeAskY1 But were he never picked on, and if things DID go his way, we wouldn't have the Ernest movies we have today

  • @MagiaSan Oh, yeah, I know. If he didn't get picked on then we wouldn't pull 4 Ernest N every movie. The writing was very well done. Make the underdog the hero regardless of the obstacles N his way, give him a good attitude, a great spirit & a warm smile. He might be sad briefly, but we root 4 him 2 always make it 2 the top N the end which he does. He wasn't a CEO or VP; just an average, next door type of guy. That always made it easier 2 relate 2 his troubles. That's why Ernest always rules!

  • @InDeAskY1 Yes, That is why Ernest would be one of the best next door neighbours ever, I would happily be Vern. Though mind you, I wasn't as keen on Slam Dunk Ernest though, I did like it, but I think they got him wrong in that.

  • @MagiaSan I have all the Ernest movies. "Slam Dunk Ernest" was good. I really can't blame him 2 much 4 his slightly inflated ego. He was finally getting attention. I didn't like the fact that the Clean Sweep team was 2 abusive toward Ernest. What I love best about Ernest is the fact that he's not hoity-toity. If he presented himself as Astor Clement first, I'm pretty sure no movies would've been made. I love the Astor character but wouldn't associate with a person like him N the real world.

  • @InDeAskY1 I too have them all, and love each and every one, but with Slam Dunk it wasn't his ego that was the problem for me, that is still one of his lovable quirks, but it was the fact that the writer had Ernest do it for money, if it had been for the girl, which would have worked as far as the movie is concerned anyway, than fine. But Ernest was always the sort of person not to care about money. Knowhutimean? Small point yes, but...

  • @MagiaSan 1 of the parts I did have trouble with N "Slam Dunk Ernest" was that fashion shoot. That is not Ernest. Fame & fortune was never his goal. He let it get 2 him briefly. All he wanted was 2 B included & 2 B one of the guys. 'Erma'? Well, she didn't deserve Ernest. All she cared about was 'more money'. Ernest realized that in the end & went back to being that good 'ol Ernest we love. Daniel Butler wrote this show. I also remember watching him host "America's Dumbest Criminals".

  • This is such a sweet song. Varney sings it with such emotion. He actually does sing other songs and has a really nice singing voice as well. Is there anything that man couldn't do?

  • It started raining, and I was like Gee Im glad its raining...Then I HAD TO HEAR THIS!

  • @TheHappyMushrooms That's what brought me here too :)

  • R.I.P peace jim we will miss you more than anything in the world love you man

  • This is how I feel when it rains :( sad right?

  • nice song

  • any one no how to get this song its amazing?

    i have seen every one of his movies even the ones were he wasn't ernest and this would be a great song to have.

  • @waluigithecool yes but you can still watch Ernest at his finest :)

  • This song made me cry when I heard it! When I was little lol!

  • I love you Enrest! Rip!

  • beautiful i love this song it always makes me cry when i hear it.

  • beautiful.

  • I wonder if they played this at his funeral....God be with you, Jim.

  • @Phalanx2105 It would've fit, that's for sure. I was just thinking that myself. He looked so sweet when he was singing that song on the movie.

  • this was the best ernest movie in my opinion.

  • They say he was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

  • BEST FILM EVER

  • this song makes me cry everytime i hear it, its so beautiful and heartfelt.. poor Ernest though :(

  • eggs a roooooniuzz

  • from the 1st time i saw this as a kid, this songs comes to mind & i start singing it, nearly every time i watch it rain.... *Sigh* i truly miss Jim's greatness. he was one of a kind.

  • ...I love Jim Varney!!!! He was happiness in my life as a child and even now as an adult he still touches my heart...RIP...

  • i remember the good old days, watching all of Jim Varneys movies my favorite was Ernest scared stupid, and Ernest goes to jail, i see all the the movies, i feel bad for him in this one cause the kids are so mean to him, and he just kept on trying to get along with them, but then they hurt him, and he feels like he cant do anything

  • whos the asshole who clicked dislike??

  • @PWDooood no clue but i say we get youtube to release the IP information on them and we hunt them down and make em pay! haha lolz

  • @PWDooood Apparently there are two of them that don't like this song.

  • @mommytosnakes aww thats to bad, i really liked the movies he made, they are still awesome and funny

  • I love this song...makes me happily sad

  • I know how you feel Ernest, I know...........

  • watched this movie when i was little, this song has got me through alot of tough times...

  • I love this song.

  • This is actually a pretty touching song for an otherwise obnoxious movie. Jim Varney was obviously a very energetic and passionate actor, and it's a shame that Ernest is the only character he got to really demonstrate that with.

  • whenever it rains i think of this song. RIP Ernest.

  • its kool you have this

  • This song echos the lonely emptiness i am currently feeling

  • NE1 know where i can DL this song?!

  • They should have just made the whole movie a musical! Seriously, because this is such an awesome song!

  • I have always been a fan of Jim. I love Ernest. He is a big kid who just wants to fit it. RIP.

  • Sitting in TN watching the flood water, and this song has been running through my head all day.

  • @mommytosnakes  Clarksville too eh?

  • This is one of the most heartfelt songs I have ever heard in my entire life. And Jim's voice lends itself to it beautifully. Captures the mood perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this.

    Cheers.

  • I love Ernest. It's raining today and I'm covered with poison ivy. How appropriate!

  • Sounds like Jessies song in Toy Story 2

  • exactly what i was thinkin

  • @oiramldx you mean Jessie's song in Toy Story 2 sounds like this...this came out in 1987.

  • Best rain song Ever!

    This song is so wonderful and really soothes my heartache.

    Thanks Jim Varney, a great artist!

  • RIP Jim. Thanks so much.
