Actually, Jim Stafford had his own T.V. show in 1976. This looks like it's from the Jim Stafford Show. (I used to watch it as a kid, it was a great variety show, kind of like The Sonny and Cher Show and The Flip Wilson Show.)

DP is stunningly good at singing like a little girl. Amazing! This is a superb performance!

This song was written by Jim & David Bellamy of the Bellamy Brothers in 1974, and became a top ten in both country & rock 100. 🎶👍

This performance is EVERYTHING!!!

2022 and this is still a great classic. ❤

They weren't winging it. Dolly was representing a child, and he got sexual with her and her back to him. The grooming was intentional. We were asleep.

There is electricity between Jim and Dolly, and it makes Spiders & Snakes romantic!

Love it. Been singing this to my young wife all week. She never heard it ❤

It looks like they neglected rehearsals for this, and I feel like it was a good decision. It really added to the charm. They seem to have real chemistry too.

Just saw Dolly on Fox & Friends this morning Aug. 23, 2016 . Had to come back for a taste of one of my Favs . Jim always loved this song & adding Dolly made it that much more awesome . Makes me smile even when I`ve had the most crappy day . God Bless You Both !

I remember in the 5th grade, around 1976-1977, when this song was popular, our teacher would let us listen to records on Fridays after lunch, but she wouldn't let us play this song, because she said it was "nasty"! Of course, that just made us want to hear it even more, because we had no idea what she meant! lol

Australian AM Radio played " I Don't Like Spiders & Snakes " by Jim Stafford on high rotation in 1973. I was only 12 yrs old and just thought it was a great song, I liked the music and thought the lyrics were very funny. Until today, I didn't know that Jim was a comedian. I thought he was a Country music star. Oh man he is hilarious first and then a musician. I am now a big fan of his comedy. I've checked out his many other You Tubes and the man is brilliant.

Jim, I have always loved your humor and your songs were great to listen to. I have only one regret and that is to never have seen you live somewhere. Thanks for posting.

Dolly has the cutest little kid voice.

So cool to see this! I remember watching it as a kid on the big old twenty five inch RCA we had when it aired originally, lol. And I must say, Lee jeans had a real strong stitching in the crotch, because seeing Dolly in that outfit surely induced some strain on that region!

Great timing ad libbing this great song

I love it, but I am from that generation :)

Dolly Still a legend in 2021 Just a great humenbeing

dolly was/ is sooo beautiful. those dimples, eyes, smile... ... classic tune too! ;)

Rode the school bus that co-writer David Bellamy's mother drove. She would stop the bus every time this came on the radio. Francis was a proud mama David became a star in his own right, as 1/2 of the Bellamy Brothers, and they are still out there performing.

Always loved this song.

I love Dolly's giggle

You hugged Dolly Parton. I don't think there's anything else left for you to do in this life.

Don't remember watching this. How cute. I've seen Jim do this song many times. Also have Conway & Loretta doing this song.

I love ya Jim Stafford. I had an autographed photo of you in the 70's it was my prized possesion. Wish I still had it bc I like you just as much now as then 😎

I love this makes me smile🎉🎉🎉

You don't know good fortune like Dolly Parton's husband during the 1970s and 80s. Mercy.

Grew up in the same neck of the woods as Dolly. She got her start on the Cas Walker's Sunday morning program there in Knoxville and I think she sang on the Reverend and Mrs Mull's gospel hour, before she got the call to go to Nashville.

You want to walk me home from school? Yes I do … do what you want to do..♥️♥️

Man the 70's were the best

Wow! How stinking adorable were they

This was adorable!

Happy birthday, Jim!
