[redspellthief]

Only ray stevens could turn a lovesong into a comedy

[UKwildcatTV]

Hey, I still have the highest rated comment on this video! Haha.

I first saw this when I was in the 6th Grade. Me and a couple of other kids were alone in class with our math teacher, so he asked "Do you guys want to watch some Ray Stevens?" He put this tape in and I have been in love with Ray ever since.

[nickkrugh]

i remember watching this tape 20 years ago the day my grandfather bought it. I was 4 at the time

[headfullufhell]

@nickkrugh So then, what if you have it on vinyl?? I'm not even a 'grand' parent....sad, sad, sad.....! Then again this is the first time in over 20 years that I've heard this -& only because I had to find it for my Mom!

[verdew8181]

By far, this is my favorite version of that song!!!!!!!

[Eeveefan100]

i like this one the best. i like the court part

[RosesareAllie]

its funny how everyone's grandparents have this tape, heck even my own grandma owns this on vhs :)

[PGTriumph]

What an absolute genius

[bigandrich20]

I USED TO WATCH THIS WITH MY SISTER AT MY GRANDMAS AND GRANDPAS HOUSE!!!!!!! I LUV THIS!!!!!!

[vampirealdys]

@bigandrich20 I watched this tape at my granny's house too... Because I loved it so much, my mother then took me to see him perform in Myrtle Beach. LOVED IT!

[TheRunningTomato]

[PrettyGirlOtaku]

This is waaaay too funny: I love this version of this song.

[MrBuntings]

[sleeth703]

This video is so reminiscent of Spike Jones...

[wiigamer229]

Ray did ALOT of acting in this video

[ollie588]

13 people have no taste in comedy!!

[RRydnew]

I always what Kris Kristoferson (the original singer & composer) thinks of this version of his song....he probably cracks up!

[rufflesl]

ive enjoyed ray since i was 7 im 18 now and it never gets old

[SirThinks2Much]

Lol I love the combination of word/visual puns. "Tonight I need a friend" = *getting drunk*

[Farrah300]

Only Ray Stevens can take a song as beautiful as "Help Me Make It Through The Night" and make it hilarious!!! LOVE IT!!!

[denniss265]

Ray has always been a clown. Love it! LOLOMA!

[lukedude9]

well now i say, i say thats more i like it !!!! lol TIIIIMMMMBBEEEERRRR!!!!!

[amnm12]

I lost my virginty to this song. It was a beatiful night.

[olekrifos]

RAY STEVENS

[twinPaula12]

The incomparable Ray Stevens. Wow, what a tremendously talented artist. This song here is reminiscent of some of Spike Jones' wild songs. This is great fun and shows just how Ray has such wonderful imagination and creativity. Sammie Smith would probably get a big kick out of this if she was still with us. The first number I ever heard by Ray was "Ahab the Arab" on the radio. Also, I love "It's Me Again Margaret". Ray is an icon for sure. Thank you for this treasure. - Paula

[swayzefan62]

This is so funny. Always puts a smile on my face and brightens my day. Love everything that Ray Stevens has every done.

[swayzefan62]

Anyone who is feeling down and blue should watch this...........this is so funny and I love everything that Ray Stevens has ever done. Miss his tv show. That was always a favorite.

[Eeveefan100]

[smang12345]

[Cavillier1970]

Anytime I hear Help Me Make .... it doesnt matter who is singing I hear the lyrics and think of this video and I LOL. It can be the most serious, romantic version and I LOL like a hyhenna.

[SHURICAN4]

[gumper1986]

[thomaschavers]

i love how ray stevens pays tribute to harpo marx in this video. and i still have my ray stevens comedy video classics on vhs tape that my now deceased grandmother got me for christmas about 19 years ago. i'm 31 now.

[XSxarfaceX]

@thomaschavers i have it too.. it really deserves a DVD release. i loved it as a kid, and i love it now. Sittin Up With The Dead, and Surfin USSR are probably my favorites, along with this one.

[thomaschavers]

@XSxarfaceX They should definitely give it a DVD release. I hope I get to see ray stevens in concert before he dies. Have you heard his song, "Osama, your mama"? It''s pretty good.

[XSxarfaceX]

@thomaschavers nah i haven't. actually i haven't heard anything other than what's on that tape, but i should check out his other stuff.

[j0master1]

@thomaschavers That tape is a classic!! I used to watch it all the time. I'm 16 now.

[sandyFL100]

Mr. Ray Stevens is one of my favorite people, for years...yes, he & I go back to the 'stone' age!!

his God-given talents, are many to put it mildly!!

and if it is true, that Jesus Christ lives inside of us, this is a prime example of HIS sense of humor

Amen?

[RevFlowerjoy]

That must be some Strong stuff,To Burp like that, Can you share so with us..

Tom in Utica

[lishuss]

[wa2k99]

This is why I alwayd hated Alison Krauss. This song won Ray had won 9 video challenges in a row, one away from the Video Hall of Fame. And some lame Alison Kraus video beats him. Not that I'm still bitter...

[ScarletDeja]

Ahh, I remember when I first saw this particular video.

Took me a while to clean my urine from my britches.

[DDRpwnerer]

Easily his best work. :33

[WEIRDALROXMYSOX]

Also the time 1:46 to 1:48 is toooooooo funny! Such a weird face. I love him playing the lady. SOOOOO FUNNY!

[WEIRDALROXMYSOX]

This is the funniest song I've heard in a while, excpet one more minute by weird al.
