[MrWaynejulie]

I am VERY proud to say I WAS RELATED TO HER ....her real name was Fayetta Gelinas she was a very funny and loving woman...she opened shows for Liberace and toured with Mickey Finn. She sadly passed away in april 4 2008

[vakevol]

what a dumb video

[TheMrso2009]

you negative commentors have no sense of humor, do you? this is absolutely hilarious, and if you don't get it, then go watch something else :P

[MrMegalady]

oh and love you grandma. RIP

[MrMegalady]

thumbs up if your watching in 2011!

wow 5 years back same date this video was posted!

[fuckinrobbie]

is this bitch retarded or something? I don't see what's funny, only a dribbling quadrospaz.

[katmarstid]

@fuckinrobbie The joke is that she's not really drunk. Duh! Are you stupid or something? And I'm pretty sure you mean quadraspaz. If you're gonna insult someone, at least do it right.

[65dmack]

Of course she can still drive, she's obviously too drunk to walk!!

[xander11167]

and a tree in the meadow! classic.

[Helltress72]

LOVE IT!!! Laugh every time...

[mimosf]

Bloody Marys...LOL. Twelve dry martoonis.  haha

[erindalaxluva]

[MFitness87]

Thumbs up if you want to drink with this lady!

[dragorider93]

get this woman some coffee

[jsapodaca]

do you have to be drunk to find this funny?

[itsjimmay]

Must watch this every year!!

[dannyhustle]

It is so wonderful that this was recorded for posterity - sooooo many wonderful lounge acts never were and no record of how great they were remains. I wish somebody had video of Joe E. Lewis' act from the Ranchero. RIP Lady Fay you were one of a kind and a brilliant entertainer. Does anyone know if this entire film is available on DVD? I would love to see the rest of it.

[dannyhustle]

Absolutely brilliant

[GINGERALER]

Many many years ago, this came on the radio and we had to pull off the road into the parking lot of a grocery store because our whole family was laughing our asses off.

[PhillyFanatic87]

@GINGERALER - HAHAHA, I have a similar story. A few years ago right before Christmas, I was at a bank drive-thru and this came on the radio. I had to pull into the parking lot of the bank because I was in tears and my stomach hurt from how hard I was laughing.

[Stephen27]

Cute :D

God rest her soul. It's not Christmas until I hear this song. :)

[Alley2446]

God bless this woman!!

[Nancee413]

I always look for and share this video every year. I LOVE it! The first time I heard it, I was driving to work on this little road I took every morning near Boston. Always the same people at the same time every day, listening to the same radio station. I heard this song and it was making me laugh. I felt foolish sitting in my car alone laughing at 7:00 in the morning until I looked around and saw everyone else doing the same thing! LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! Sad she has passed. God Bless

[pokethepenguin2]

its funny cause im gonna be that drunk when i turn 21... xD

[lemuriansoul]

Oh ......i love this!!!

[DcnBls]

Sounds like she was hanging out with Foster Brooks...LOL...

[SUPERDOOPERTUBER]

It was1984 when me and my family were driving down the street to go Christmas shopping. This song came on and although we didn't know who she was, or what this was about, we all were laughing so hysterically, we had to pull over into a parking lot!

[Gaygarious]

@SUPERDOOPERTUBER It in the 70s for me, I was on the approachway to the Greater New Orleans bridge and had to pull over onto the emergency lane I was laffing so hard! Whew!

[sk8trqueen]

the last one should have ended with "and a alcohol related OD!!!!!"

Here's the list of cocktails and whiskys that Fay mentions in the song: 12 dry Martinis 11 Bloody Marys 10 dry Manhattans 9 Margaritas 8 sweet Old Fashioneds 7 Johnnie Walkers 6 Cuba Libres 5 dry Rob Roys 4 Old Fitzgeralds 3 Old Crows 2 Cutty Sarks The "9 Rigor Mortis" and "9 Resurrections" are not names of drinks which is what makes it funny. In the famous recording of this song, Fay also says "9 Roto Rooters".

[Zukofreakingrocks]

[joeljack1]

For years I've been dying to know WHO did this number. It was played on the radio and eventually every drag queen in Houston did this at one time or another. (usually from a bootleg of a bootleg, etc.)Thanks for posting.

[AMZuba]

Never get sick of hearing this oldie but goodie.

[BBThames]

The local (former) alternative rock station here in Atlanta (99X)used to play this all the time before Christmas. Now, I can't find it anywhere so I have to listen to it on You Tube...sigh. Great song and for the longest I thought Gilda Radner sang this on SNL several years ago. I guess I was wrong!

[pisces3651]

I saw a drag queen in a gay bar in Reno do this during a Christmas in July party . . . hilarious!

[fantasyfudge56]

I grew up in the 60's and my mom played this for us every christmas. I would laugh, but I didnt really appreciate it till I was older. I just laugh my ass off! Rest in peace Fay you made this little girl's/women's christmas a time to remember!

[Helltress72]

I LOVE IT!!!!!! I listen to this song each year and laugh my ass off!!!

[DenmiSama]

[LindaMartinez962]

Fay passed away April 4, 2008 after having suffered a stroke (this per what I have read on internet sites). She brought many hours of laughter to all who knew her. This song is just a taste of her humor. She was a good friend. RIP Fay. Will remember you and your gentle soul and loving spirit.

[Kilfio]

Can you repost this vid in sync please? It's great. :P

[michaelritchie200]

Absolutely brilliant. I never understand why she apologises profusely in the last verse though.

[nazr14]

i think it is because she thinks it might be too religious. IDK, i find her song hilarios :]

[sailorwhitetiger]

she was so cute!

[mistletoekissesII]

tooo funny!

[jgwhitham]

i want you at my christmas party

[sistersfromdk]

she so cool!!

[stratele]

I believe Ms McKay is somewhere in the vicinity of 70+ years young. She's hilarious

[guccikins]

She reminds me of Rusty Warren! Does anybody remember her? Here "signature" tune was, and don't spam me please,

"Bounce Your Boobies"

I remember the albums my parents had. I'm only 41, but she was great too and also sang in the casino lounges.

Karen aka

guccikins

[DukeBasil]

I have several Rusty VINYL albums...FAYs record is much better than this....almost drove off the road when I first heard this in my car.

[guccikins]

OH I'M SO JEALOUS! I'm going to have to somehow find these! We used to have Rustys Vinyls, but they were stolen! LOL! I'd drove into a ditch if I heard this for the first time on the radio!

Thanks for your reply1

[stratele]

I remember her very well. She was one of the "Queens of X rated comedy" She was another hilarious comic in her day. Where is she now?

Paul

aka stratele

[jazzzco]

is ms mackay still living. I have a video I just got of her on the mike douglas show with james brown. JB LOVED her.

[DukeBasil]

yes...she lives in Laughlin, Nevada (as of last year when I got her cd)

[biegel88]

Great! Caught her show opening for Liberace at the Westbury Music fair when I was a kid in the 1960s! Nice to see this here.

[Physco219]

i wish someone would fix the dubbing of the sound to the movements of ehr lips. I agree it would help a lot to be drunk too as it would make it funnier.

[edjewthomp]

When I was young Faye was a friend of the family and I remember coming over and all the laughter!!! She could crack you up in more than one way as she was a Chiroprator too!!! What a sweetheart!!

[Riss919]

THANKKK YOUUUUUUU! I love this song and have never seen her sing it!!!! Awesome, awesome!!

[MediaSpinner]

That's some of the best ventriloquism I've ever seen!

[Zea107]

This was Almost real!

[charliekkendo]

EXCELLENT! Oh my gosh, more Lost Vegas, please!

[DukeBasil]

Ginga tetsudô Three-Nine (1979)

HER VOICE IS USED IN THIS JAPANESE MOVIE...

Tetsuro Hoshino, orphaned by the Cyborgs, lives in a slum in the shadow of their megapolis. He steals a pass for Galaxy Express 999, and is saved by a mysterious woman called Maitre, a living image of his mother who had been killed by the Cyborgs. Wearing a special pendant, he sets out for Andromeda where he can obtain eternal life and avenge his parents' death.

[robcat2075]

It probably helps for the audience to be drunk too.

[chumprock]

I wonder if there are any old films of her doing this?

[edjewthomp]

maybe on the Johnny Carson Show!!

[DukeBasil]

Date of Birth

Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

Trivia

Had a hit novelty song "The 12 Daze of Christmas" in which the singer is given alcoholic beverages rather than the traditional gifts such as a partridge in a pear tree.

Where Are They Now

(December 2003) Performing in supper clubs in Las Vegas, Nevada......sent me a cd in 2006

[AS7607]

I read in Wikipedia that she passed away in April 2008 in Las Vegas, NV. She was 78 years old. May she rest in peace. Fay McKay 1930-2008.
