@roguestylez I wondered the same. It's a parody of the performance from 1952 made to look like 1952. Earl Pickens is a newer artist. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. Look for the version of him singing the same song with Ronald McDonald.
i was totin my staff along the shiny wizards tower road. when along came a nooby with a bright green miscolerd sword. if ur going to wizards tower come with me we can striiiiiide. so i followed that young noob an we settled down inside. he asked me if iv'e seen a road with so much dust and sand? i said listen noob iv'e traveled every road in this here land
I'm glad that Shickshinny was mentioned! I lived in Shickshinny in 1984 (well, actually Mocanaqua, but, hey, they both share the same zip code!!!) However, I am a little disappointed that Johnny Cash was acknowledged. The fact is that Hank Snow sang the original version of the song, and it had a GIGANTIC hit. This was LONG before Johnny sang it. Snow's version is the definitive version. I love Johnny Cash, I saw him perform, and he's one of my heroes, but, hey, let's give credit to Hank Snow.
@frozenfood500 Hank Snow did NOT sing the original version of the song. As explained in the description underneath the video, the ORIGINAL was written by AUSTRALIAN Geoff Mack ... what WASN'T mentioned is that it was recorded by AUSTRALIAN singer Lucky Starr. Besides which, Hank Snow never wrote the American version either - that also was written by Geoff Mack.
he mentioned a lot of places i know... but no Osceola, Sandy Ridge, Philipsburg, Waleston, Allport, Irvona, Snow Shoe, Yarnell... I could go on, but it would be lengthy.
Listen People..what are you immature jackasses..Just because he missed your town?? There is only room for so many cities in the song..Geeze !!!!And i cant belive people waste space just to put on STUPID RIDICLOUS comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohk now test me omg omg and the flower is the mountain laurel u foneyyy foneyyy anyways u couldve looked that up on the internet and i know u did hahahah oh and firefly hahah u would not believe ur eyes if 10 million fireflie lit up the worl as i fell asleep ahhaha omg
its the WHite tail deer for state animal, the state dog is a Great DAne, State insect is FIrefly, and our tree is a Eastern Hemlock or Cedar tree and state flower idk and PA is also nicknamed the Key STone state.
ohk then u little mexican ahhahaha lmfao wat a funni word hahaha jk so wats our state animal flower dog insect tree answer those u canadian hahahahha *fake cough* perverted old faker haha
so that man below me is a FONEY hes from lebanon oregon that little piece of shit liar (pervert) ahhaha that old man below me is a pervert and eats his own fart hahaha
I enjoy the song, espessially being a Pennsylvanian. But the date is off by at least 10 years, it was not realsed in the U.S. until Nov. 1962 and the Johnny Cash version in 1966.
I believe that is in the heart of amish country-they got some strange names, if I am not mistaken one of their sreets are named blue balls-correct me if I am wrong,man.
Johnny Cash's version just is soo much more smooth

lol it says Earl Pickens performs his classic parody of the Hank Snow hit, "I've Been Everywhere" live on "The Mavis L. Honeyduke Show" in 1952.
the movie quality of the movie is old but the sound is like modern quality ?. it aint from 1952
