I'm My Own Grandpa- Ray Stevens ( with family tree diagram)

[MrLMFAOgurl1]

I GET IT!

[KittyChick1997]

Our Lit teacher showed us this in class since we're learning about Oedipus Rex!

[209129]

if he's his own grandpa, then his dad is his great-grandpa, and his daughter is...... *repeat ad infinitum :D*

[smoelfen11]

Isn't his wife also her own granma?

[finylvinyl66]

Sounds like Bill Wyman's family tree.

[buckoday]

Just letting all of you know. I am well up in my years and I used to have this song on an old 78 rpm record. at a minimum it is 55 years old. I don't remember the original artest and the record is long gone. I wish I still had it though. It was right up there with " Slap her down again paw " by Arthur Godfrey and " Don't telephone, don't telegraph, tell a woman and the news will get around " can't remember the artists on it Great oldies.

[rebornmommy311]

at the end, I could not follow it at all.But at the begining I could

[linedancergal]

I want to be able to buy the music for this (legally!). Does anyone know where I can find it? Wasn't on iTunes last time I looked.

[bgiv2010]

He was his own grandpa-in-law since the first verse but still good.

[AwesomeSauceRock]

um...what? O.o can you repeat that all?

[shinysparkly94]

you did not state that fact that your daughter\mother's son is your brother

also you are technicly your step grandpa from rosana b.

[Ghulumasa101]

FEIJOA!

[Jumptehcut]

YOU made it MORE confusing!

[SkillageFTW]

@LilBabi93 He did before she was his grandmother.

[LilBabi93]

so technically he had sex with his grandmother?

[mynameisjannaa]

This is so confusing, but the weird thing is that it's all right xD

[logiammh11]

oh my gosh. Flippin hilarious

[bond007collector]

This could ACTUALLY happen (and maybe it has).

[karatekid778]

@bond007collector There has been multiple cases of this. Shows up in the newspaper.

[hamburger911seo]

theres actually no incest involved in the video whatsoever, its just really confusing

[imrck1]

29 people wish they were there own grandpa

[XxNicolexX131]

it made sence when i watched it for the 4th time !

[Frostiedkdk]

well even tho he becomes his own grandpa, he would still have his original grandfather and so on

[sharnaruston1985]

OMG......

[roflmoomywafflemoo]

[mudvayneisawesome]

[TheBombanater]

My horrible Anthropology teacher made me trace the genealogical record of this family for extra credit!!!... I gave up

[cheetobagable]

[bottbottman3]

Only the rednecks. -.-.

[hhhkevin]

this makes his dad his son

[scotchrumour]

No, the song is based on legal relationships.

[dancingsammi1]

incest 101?



[andyman01869]

@dancingsammi1 there was actually no incest here.

[Kr09061992]

Wraaaah ! Can't think. So confused !!

[shmood3000]

At the 2:22 mark, I looked at the clock, and it was 2:22!

[SolidSniperWolfe]

haha this is my fave

[SUAVE287]

or you could go back in time and have sex with your grandmother hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hah

[lowlandpark]

Not all that uncommon in Arkansas.

[rondunderfunk]

I think this actually happened to someone I knew in Hoy, West Virginia.

[proud2bpagan]

@rondunderfunk W.Virgina..12 million ppl..12 different last names! lol. j/k

[KittenHeartbreak]

I UNDERSTOOD IT!

[Arelak]

Ray Stevens, one of the BEST comedians this nation has ever had and he sing it to boot making it that much more hilarious!!!

[Shitsville101]

That is one messed up family reunion... Just sayin.

[Sossugarfan]

short version.... normal family and the grandpa screwed it up

[sickboy99ful]

or you can skip the song and marry your grandma

[simonspics1]

I guess whether I understand it or not,wont change a thing! So Im just happily confused! LOL

[Lordilucas12]

Am I the only one who understands this the first time I heard it?

[CallMeNiel]

And yet there isn't ACTUALLY any inbreeding here, just a father and son marrying a mother and daughter, crosswise.

[austin777136]

@CallMeNiel A man's father married his daughter. He married his biological granddaughter and the two of them had a daughter.

[CallMeNiel]

@austin777136 I took the redhead to be the widow's daughter by her previous (dead) husband. A man's father married his full grown step daughter, and they had a daughhter.

[churdle76]

Let's make this simple. Ray, I am your father's brother's cousin's nephew's former roommate. Love, Dark Helmet.

[tinetineXD]

haha.. FUNNY.. truly very confusing.

[gabe45jordan]

FUCKING CHRISE HOW THE FUCK DOSE THIS MAKE SENSE????? XD

[alexrawlins77]

i started reading through the comments and realized a few other people realized it 2 but all that had to happen was for rays dad to marry the widows daughter, and since that makes the daughter his mother in law and his wife is th mother of her- it makes her his grandmother and since hes married to his grandma hes his own grandpa.really the kids were there just to confuse the crap out of u all and give u all headaches in order to make you want to watch it 50 more times til u figure it all out

[alexrawlins77]

i started reading through the comments and reealized a few other people realized it too, well first of all it takes a dumbass to figure this out everybody else would just not even realize, but all that had to happen was for rays dad to marry the widows daughter, and since that makes the daughter his mother in law and his wife is th mother of her- it makes her his grandmother and since hes married to his grandma hes his own grandpa

[TheJetman968]

Damn hillbillies.

[WskerFTW]

did i follow all of that, I DID. did it all make sense YES IT DID. and why, cause my family has even MORE confusing ties then this

[Howerworm]

@WskerFTW

immposibal!!!!!!!!!!!

[WskerFTW]

@Howerworm 100% true. would u like an example of one, or are you gonna take me on my word?

[acount89]

they would have to be at least 20 years apart

Ray's Father around same age as Ray's Wife Widow

Ray - Red Head daughter

Ray's Son - Ray's Grandchild

[alykat199117]

I understand completely idk how people don't understand my mom doesn't get.

[94Apetma]

So cool song xD

[CaseyMenace]

exactly why family trees should always fork.

[281Marauder]

I don't blame Rays dad. Redheads are difficult to avoid.

[hektor106]

true story

[amitayg121]

simple MINDFUCK.

[DownWitTheClown2009]

Confused or not that is funny as hell XD

[bigmumf]

Happens in Norfolk all the time...

[MrMikeyification]

Holy shit. That Was like confusing but Incest Galore... Are they trying to be the Kardashian family??? Or is Ray really Fry from Futurama?

[Ralph6555]

or you could have traveled back to the past and tapped your Grandma.

[hfytr65]

The only important parts are that since his father married his daughter-in-law that make's him his daughter-in-law's son-in-law meaning his wife is now his grand mother-in-law making him his grand father-in-law. The having babies parts are just extra layers of unnecessary confusion.

[barelycertain]

@hfytr65

true.

[jakelovebomb]

@hfytr65 Well yes, since it would be boring to simply say that.

[labrticka]

@hfytr65 Mind=Blown

[Robdeltonie]

@hfytr65 LOL! I heard the same thing from my biology teacher!

[jedihm2]

26 people are not their own grandpa.

[awesomekewlvampire]

That is ONE MESS UP family!!!!! XD lol

[belieber264]

like if you got confused

[AbomBCow]

that was really an amazing amount of work to make i bet.....i love it! haha:)

[mariusjohnsen]

This song hurts my head. Yet still i cant help to love it for its brilliance.

[sarahLcthatsme]

A like page about pikachu on facebook brought me here

[noname3715]

fuck !!! that's fuckin' confusin. took me and my brother 30 minutes to figure it out!!! :D

[dudepersonvids]

Ah, the things incestuous rednecks find to write songs about...

[NicholeKanady]

Ouch. I feel like a brick was thrown at my head.

[markmatthewferguson]

Speaking of incects, how's your ant?

[02Atton20]

Wouldn't his Grandson's father also be his Grandson's Great Grandfather? Because he is the father of his Grandpa, or am I just lost like everyone else?

[Socratov]

correction, he's his own step-granddad, his real granddad died, making his grandma (now his wife) a widow

[Raikkoneon]

If Ray's step-daughter was his mother when his father married her, then that makes Ray's wife his mother's mother or grandmother, and if Ray is married to his grandmother surely he is already his own grandpa?

Is that right? Or have I been confused by the song? Haha

[waterfallphantic39]

aewsome!!ROFL



[Domeage]

Clever 

[EdnaChance]

It was Ray's father that made all these problems. If only he didn't get with his granddaughter in law then Ray wouldnt be his own grandpa

[Jackysmile12]

OMG!!!!... so interesting! ^o^...

[PaulisWilliam]

being confused and getting it are 2 different things...

Am i confused?-YES!!

do i get it?-Yes.

lol XD

[barleycreek]

Don't marry a widow with a hot daughter...all kinds of problems are bound to turn up

[imshunning]

@barleycreek lol i wont marry the widow ill marry the daughter lol

[trevorsvg95]

do you come from alabama? ...lol

[GTFORDMAN]

ouch my head! the diagram does nothing!!

[barryxf]

LOL...trust Ray to come up with this masterpiece....always loved his work! :D

[TheloniousKeys781]

@barryxf This is a cover of the original.. which is ancient. But it is the best version.

[barryxf]

@TheloniousKeys781 i didn't know that....thnx for the info :)

[hereforyounothim]

...i'm so confused..

[sarahmarie3124]

OMG anyone confused yet ???



[Rhiannon3291]

confusing

[domiholm]

it is posable to me your own step granda

[kitkitmeow24]

actually he's his own step-grandpa

[kitkitmeow24]

i got it

[xxxTheXgenexxx]

..........................WHAT­?!

[SHADOWKING1203]

I FINALLY GOT IT

[Roxxanne77]

yep, that was the smartest thing i ever hears...

[osemekeugbo999]

took me a few repeats .. but i get it now lol

[insidejokeful]

what the

[MrRccx]

wow arkansas sure is wierd isnt it uncle-dad?

[RealityBullet]

this is the innocent version of the story

[clfever12]

well its amazing that you can be your own grandpa and not be incest. all though i got a friend who im positive is incest

[jimmy212145]

1 word - Rednecks!!!

[m062010]

@jimmy212145 yep! u got that right. they're known for stuff like this.

[BladeEdge86]

I wonder if this song was the insipiration for that messed up Futurama episode where Fry literally became his own Grandpa.

[Frankdued1997]

@BladeEdge86 no this is older than futurama

[sayiantom]

@Frankdued1997 your comment here is old but i have to speak up about yours. first he said was this the inspiration for it, meaning he was asking if Futurama got the idea from here. which they did not though as he only biologically became his own grandad when the kids were born. Fry was biologically his own grandad straight up from the start when that time travel episode was shown.

[nickedge2012]

i think i just lost like 50 iq points...oh well that was funny:P

[got2fly4ever]

man this is the most confusing song in the world! No other song quite as confusing as this!

[M0VIES4U2]

Then Ray's son had a son with Ray's cheating wife, and they named him "Cletus".

[tailsoluv]

When I was a little girl, my father used to play this on the guitar. He had a typed book of old Western songs with all the lyrics and the guitar chords written in. It's wonderful to see this - especially with the diagram! LOL

[nikedadoug]

Had to listen to the song and look at the diagram real carefully...several times before I finally got it.

[got2fly4ever]

This i guess makes sence! This guy got married and had a baby boy and then that boy grew up got married and had a daughter and than the guy that was narrating married that daughter!

[got2fly4ever]

This is confusing but halarious! I guess sometimes things are just really confusing but you just can't hold in a laugh!

[TheGenIdiot]

thats not a family tree its a family hedge maze

[fokaiboy544]

oh i get it so if someones dad marrys thier wifes daughter it changes everything?

[sh0gun98]

I followed all the way to 1:02

[Kingdomhearts0]

I'm my own aunt, so I can kinda relate to this song. lol.

[mklklr]

And no incest intended, nice^^

[SatanicVomit]

My brain hurts

[Magenator]

This diagram isn't really necessary to figure out he's his own grandfather, if anything it just makes it more confusing (although it's useful for the other relations.)

He is his father's step father. Therefore he is his own grandpa. That's all you need to know. Every other relation with the kids is just a distraction.

[chexandy89]

I used to play this so much when I was little.

[DaddysGirl3181]

What I don't understand is how his dad can still make kids

[SmoggyZilla]

@DaddysGirl3181 a man can produce sperm until they die. Women go through menopause and lose the ability to produce eggs, since they're born with a certain amount of eggs.

[buseli17]

ich bin nur leicht verwirrt....

[GiantBannana011]

I had to watch this about 7 times and my friend Amy helping me to understand it- the diagram really helps

[ArmourHalloween]

My maths teacher let us watch this song :)

[JGP321]

That was great. I've never seen it diagrammed before (thanks) or tried to figure it out myself, but I've always enjoyed the song.

[kalvinlewisiscoolyea]

still confused...

[losi123321]

this is so discusting.. i wonder if this happend irl to someone :D? maybe me soon :P gonna try it!!

[guitarskills2]

@losi123321 It did happen...

[tortable]

I saw the title for this song, and I immediately thought of Futurama.

[OliviaJani]

@tortable hahahahaha i know right

[macharmza]

Thanks for the diagram,now I can explain it to my roommates

[theceleryman]

@ObscureRealm All he has to do is travel back in and sleep with his grandma.

[ginnonifu]

I kept up to speed perfectly. Come on, people. They litterally DREW YOU A PICTURE!

[DeanneSingsLOL]

O.o...... what?

[XxashleebgxX]

i'm.so.confused.

[HeidiGoodchild]

Thats funny. My nephew is actually my uncle lol my grandmother adopted him.

[GasCityGuy]

Wasn't this once an episode on Maury?

[livinintwilightzone]

My anthro prof LOVES this song. We use it in lecture all the time. Yay.

[MissChloeWhinchester]

no it made sense, but totally confusing. The diagram dose help a little though if you can follow it through the whole song... :D

[Lobir654]

already after 30 sec he was he's own grandpa....

[Superay360]

or you could just marry your grandma...

[at4vtsb]

@Superay360 to make simple he's basically saying his wife is his step mom's mom thus making him his own grandfather

[ElleonTheNerd]

@Superay360 Yes you could. But this makes it much more complicated and interesting.

[aj19bcx]

@Superay360 i think the point is for all marriages to be legal

[Superay360]

@aj19bcx what do you mean? if your real grandpa is dead, then it's technically legal

[colt45videos]

@Superay360 but thats just gross

[sempercras]

20 peple dont have gpas!!! :DDDD

THUMPS UP IF YOU AGREE :DDDDDD

[redhotchilipepperou]

still confused! :P:P:P

[TheTransmuter]

No incest? Not interested then...

[ataboytt]

@TheTransmuter it was incest

[MuddleThrough4yrs]

God, this song is talking about The Bold & the Beautiful, isn't it? :D

[nintencivo1500]

he could be his own grandpa without the two boys, but it makes it funnier :)

[merrimac291]

Futurama had an episode that parodied this.  Fry went back in time and slept with his own grandma.

[ptownlegend1]

/AHAHHAHAHHHAHAAHAHHHHHAHAHAHA­HAH i totally get it!!!

[soccerballgoalie2]

The only that makes the concept of incest seem HILARIOUS.

[void2222]

HOLLY CRAP I TOTALLY GET IT NOW!!!!!!!

[luvu2muchi]

im gonna be confused with that for the rest of my life... :/

[tukTo0k]

Wowwww very complicated :S I understood the meaning 25 mins after the time i heard it first time !! :P OUF now i will sleep without thinking of it anymore :DDD :P Nice song and the diagram is very helpful :PP XDDDDD

[Zooluverz28]

I had to watch this 5 times to finally get it. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE! once you get it of course
