[simonorenity]

i know a girl who's her sister is her aunt , No kidding

[Lieutenantkaiya]

Hahaha, me and my brother used to listen to this song ALL the time. oh boy....

[Shoavak]

You know, if his father had never LAID EYES on the red-headed daughter, then he would never--

SHUT UP!

ENJOY THE SONG! :D

[Charleslehigh]

Awesome job!



[CherWarner]

It's a pity I can't find this music on iTunes. Haven't had a chance to look at the website properly yet...but I'm guessing postage is going to cost a bit to find me in Australia :(

[TheMakemFolksinger]

funny song, love it, check my Makem Folk songs out, cheers Dave

[Aicirt8]

Lol, this is crazy but I love it

[Featureman]

Great song. I used to sing it in Las Vegas a lot. It is a real crowd pleaser. I remember enjoying it when I was a kid in the 1940s. Great video and performance.

[Stephen10528]

Funny song!

[746c]

This is the most confusing song ever

[Stephen10528]

@746c Yes, it is!

[BoromirGurl26]

I love this song it's hilarious

[9fires]

classic

[BattleAngel1]

:D strange but funny

[nannetta]

Back end of November..got to see him..Was worth it! Great Guy!

[SuperBritney8]

this is weird 

[Aicirt8]

Lol pretty funny and convoluted XD

[bearhedded]

Thanks for this!

I remember someone in a different classroom, singing it when I was about 9..... all I remembered was the "hair of red", and the chorus.

It's been puzzling me for nearly 50 years!

[cchot4]

HAHA THIS IS HILARIOUS!

This guy should make more songs (:

[thebeastofcamden]

bet he enjoyed this..

[SaltLakeTamotea]

Nice performance and video!! My Dad asking me to learn this song for our next family reunion so I'm singing along with it.

[TamuccDc]

so w/o the kids he's still his own grandpa

[Bunniesandsheep]

Holy crap this is genius.

[WilliamSyler]

He has such a soothing voice. I like how he sings this song.

[sunnyrosegarden]

nice guy, good voice!

[999pokerface]

OH! Okay I think I get it now!

[peterpan5031]

hmm i never heard of dennis warner is he still alive?

[warnersongs]

last time I checked... :)

[peterpan5031]

@warnersongs well good wouldnt want him to die

[Neenzhanoob1]

@peterpan5031 He is still alive. He came to my church 2 weeks ago. :)

[Topgeneral3070]

why does he make it sound so complicated(the writer of the song I mean(...the only thing he needs to say to make him his own grandpa is that he married a widow and his father married the daughter of that widow that in itself makes him his own grandpa. because his father married the daughter of the mother so that makes him a dad in law to his own father and because of that it makes him his own grandfather (woke up with this wonderful insght the other day! :) )

[agsxspoolinawd]

@Topgeneral3070 how can you write a complicated answer about the explanation to say it's NOT complicated, then call it a simple explanation!? LOL If you really wanted to say it's simple, then you could have left it at my Dad married my daughter-in-law, we both had kids, and everything went downhill from there! LOL

[richcashdog]

@Topgeneral3070 cause it makes a better song fool

[kaayandelle]

@Topgeneral3070 but tht would make such a short song..

[danny47906]

sounds kinda like dividing by zero...

[YoursTruelyMe2]

I try to really think if its possible and just start to get confused about relations in the family due to marriage.

[comradeduck]

I learned how to sign this in ASL, and it's really tough. But it's still great.

[comradeduck]

I learned how to sign this in ASL, and it's really tough. But it's still great.

[levamplestat]

Yeah I had to learn it in ESL too

[sha01001]

It took me listening to this 4 times to figure this out and I still get lost somewhere in the middle

Great song though

[ff7fan777]

I wounder if someone will make "I'm my own Son"

xD

[jamooba112]

@ff7fan777 How.. Marry your son's mother? ^^

[ff7fan777]

Yes. :)

[Eulin100]

@ff7fan777 lol

[SuperHalofreak123]

Wow my head hurts form thinking about that. Is that posible?

[msolec2000]

It's strange, but perfectly possible. Say you marry a widow who already had a daughter, and that daughter marries your dad. If you start feeling headaches thinking about it, please rest for a couple hours :)

[IBAcreations]

haha jk lol

[drumaster24]

I think this is funny cause not one thing they did was against the law.

[Curry3659]

i never realized it but THATS SO TRUE!!!!!!!!

[lostmic]

I wants played GTA 3 and some walked by me and said my mother my sister like woh O.o

[err247]

there was a guy on 68th street 6 train station in NYC who sang this song about 6 or 7 years ago.

[raggedyanne89]

I married a guy and then my divorced mom married his older brother. SO I can really relate to this. I'm my own aunt anyway.

[celebrob]

this kinda makes sense

[45pandagirl]

this the most funniest song EVA!!

haha me and my friend always sing it cuz we like weird stuff :)

[chantasy4]

I would like to know what inspired this writer to compose a song like this lol.

[Luubelaar]

My guess - Daytime soap operas. :P

[kblmitsc]

Hiliarious!

[violundomiel]

wow i used to listen to this when i was like five =D

[TheEnjoiBoi]

haha, this guy was at my elementary school like 8 yrs ago, LOL

[hbetts3]

You're still in elementary school after 8 years?? :D

[averyms]

I remember hearing this in 1994 or so when I was in high school science class. Hilarious.

[yue1113]

haha so did I! (except just a month ago)

[rokdowg]

this song was written like, 120 years ago.

[rivetgeek]

try 62.

[madingo24]

the writer of this song is really a genius

[destructiondroid3000]

God can't get the song outta my head!

[vidiot044]

Great lyrics very confusing and odd but a great song and now i feel a little mental.

[B3ansGuy]

whoever wrote these lyrics is a genius

[MisterPenisBalls]

i read somewhere that it was mark twain who came up with the concept.

[marchamlet]

nicely done!

took me 2 weeks to memorize this song

[koolaidman2558]

confusing but awesome, this is gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the week

[cestevespr]

Yea it'll be in my head for a while myself

[mMusiCc12]

haha i spent like an hour making sence of this song but i get now

[PartyFool2]

Its like the derivitive of e!

[LarryTeabag]

Great! But to be pedantic, Dennis here is his own grandfather, but is *not* his own father, whereas e^x is both its own single and double derivatives. So, a closer analogy is e^-x.

[TabesterSunshine]

haha

while studying genes, my teacher made us make a family tree of this.

it wasn't that bad haha

[gitarzero2]

We had to do this about 2 weeks ago. What school do you go to?

[starbucksis4lovers]

does anyone have the lyrics to this song?

[benshoofbrian]

JERRY!!! JERRY!!!! JERRY!!!!

[abigpieceoflime]

i tried reading thru the lyrics to this song so i cud fully understand it.. but its SO CONFUSING!!

[princeterr0r]

This is a graph to show you how it works:

you------------------>the widow

your father-------->her daughter

you

its kind rough graph but it makes sense the it is legal weirdly enough =-)

[TomSFox]

Do you ever say "YOU ARE NOT MY REAL MUM!!!" to your daughter?

[OfficialGSmoke827]

Alright, man. This is funny. Nicely put.

[BabiiStarr]

ticalcmaster hahahaha.....me too...i just wonder how they came up with this song...hmm?? lol

[kathleenxsusanne]

i wonder if this would make sense..

[ticalcmaster]

For some reason this stuff does not sound legal.

[maxonium88]

Josef Fritzl is his own grandpa :)))

[RandyLoomans015]

You also have this song in Dutch :P

[hidde500]

ja, die is leuk he, Roel C. Verburg is zow goet

[Bladeknight201]

[magicmikeymike420]

[kangajules]

I have had the pleasure of seeing Dennis perform in Vermillion, SD. Check out some more of his music!

[warnersongs]

Ah, Vermillion! I'll get back there, someday. Thanks for the comments.

[Mackie2030]

@kangajules do you live in Vermilion Ab, cause I live 45 mins away :)

[warnersongs]

@Mackie2030 nope....but I like Vermillion a lot. Beautiful river town. I'm in Minnesota north of Minneapolis.

[steeliebob]

[QueenOfDemension1020]

[Yankhadenough]

Did he commit incest with HIMSELF?!?

[andycockerill]

theres no incest in it what so ever and its totally possible out in the real world :)

[akpibble]

i luv this vid

[BlueEyes623]

Amazing song, I loved it!!! ^_^

[pinkflamingo2924]

Our Biology teacher played this in class, after which we had to draw a cladogram of the song. This is pretty great.

[warnersongs]

That's funny! What school?

[adgarbault]

i think id shoot myself if i had to draw a cladogram of that...

[Scarlet123]

so would I!!! LOL

[seanster265]

is this a true about you?

[born2fight29]

that is the single most confusing thing i hav ever heard

LOVE IT!

[RobertGary1]

Yea, its pretty confusing the way its sung. However it just comes down to the fact that his dad married his step daughter. It happens all the time. ;)

[AguyinaRPG]

I first heard of the origin of this in ripley's. It was quite funny

[HaloRaterIsAllNoing]

Im confused?!?!

[xxxmisskitkatxxx]

i think this video sounds better on the sims2 version BUT i love it SO much its so funny! lol

[movieman120]

that was a great song "i'm my own grandpa" how could anyone ever think of that, great idea

[nessatulcakelume]

I loved how you kept the humour in this quirky song. Thanks for sharing! :D

[FricksBabyGirl]

I love this song! And now that I've heard it sung slower I get it. I grew up hearing a faster version and never understood how it all worked but sang it anyway, thanks for making it clear.

[elephantandahalf]

This song is so funny! In my biology class, we had to make a pedigree about this song.. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done! lol

[peanutbuttercup11]

Ha! We're doing that right now!

[jhlef]

I really like the way you sing this song. There are several you tube videos of this song and most of them are too fast. They sound like a Gilbert and Sullivan patter song, but you kept it very melodic.

[warnersongs]

thanks for the great comment. very much

appreciated.

[RPGthespartin]

if your reallty listen to it its easy to follow

[james123oo]

That song just confused me :(

[lyfeluvr11]

When i was really little i used to sing this and idk why it was weird today, i searched it on youtube and basically spazzed out when i found it...lol

[warnersongs]

Glad you enjoyed the video. It's a fun song to sing.

[dannera1234]

awesome song!

[screamblead105]

it makes sence

[timguy345]

its funny because this happens alot

[AlisonCJ13]

muahaha i nearly weeed :L

[baybeebeenun]

for now i have becum the strangest case ive ever saw, as husband to my grandmother i am my own grandpa .....im my own granpa, im my own grandpa it may sound funny i know but it really is so oh im my own granpa......

[baybeebeenun]

many many years ago when i was 23, i was married to a widow who was pretty as can be, this widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red, my father fell in love with her and soon them two were wed, im my own grandpa, im my own grandpa it may sound funny i know but it really is so, im my own grandpa.

[bibiclaimer]

i wish i was my own grandpa. lol 2.18 he forgets the words, but i like the song its cool

[twinmatt]

Best way to figure it out is to draw a family tree.

[anrhyne92]

haha the 1st time i heard it i was so confused and now i get it! i had to figure it out in biology!

[fuzzypinkcat1]

confusing!!! but awesome!!!!!!!!!! lol ;)

[apcawl]

He married a woman

His Dad married her Daughter, therefore she's his Stepmother.

His Stepmother's Mother is his wife.

So he's her Grandson.

And being married to his Grandmother, he becomes his own Grandpa :-)

[WOODSLD80]

Nice. We had to figure this out in Biology.

[quelorepario]

It has nothing to do with biology, it is genealogy.

This mess happens only when you have incestuous relationships. It is more common to find these cases with the involvement with step-families, like marrying your step-sister, step-daughter, step-daughter-in laws... etc...

[CommanderDixon]

almost everything has to do with biology, genealogy has to do with bio b/c its the study of life. humans are alive so it has to do with bio. teachers teach bio b/c its a general study of things and they are qualified to do so.

[quelorepario]

Tell me how biology is related with the social linkage of step-parents.

Genetic genealogy is part of it (it is inevitable, of course), but its main purpose is the study of family kinship.

[Dethmasheen]

Obviously humor isn't genetically linked to all of us. :)

[katelyndodd]

nice one

[quelorepario]

CommanderDixon, now rereading what you posted, I think you confused the terms "genealogy" with "genetics", or you don't really know the meaning of genealogy.

Genealogy is 族谱, 族譜, 계보, 家系, Генеалогия, Genealogía, which is the study and tracing of family kinship.

[CommanderDixon]

yea and that has to do with life

[Dethmasheen]

Snap, I messed it up. Sorry lol. Disregard my comment. :)

[quelorepario]

hey mate, are you australian? xD

how is the weather over there?

[Dethmasheen]

Currently raining. :(

[ODEE128]

u cant just say the weather in australia is raining that so stupid
