Oh how I remember that song in 69 on a 45. I memorized all the words the day baught it with money I made cutting grass. It catipulted me into stardum! The 5th grade tallent show is where I made my debut lip singing Guitarzan. The choreography was top-notch, I sat up an hour past my bedtime working on it. I was the only student that received a standing ovation including the teachers.. and the rest is history... You can imagine how incredible the story has become with 53 years under my belt to perfect it! Thank you Ray

This guy was a genius not only with music but his comedy along with it . Absolutely timeless . My favorite is about the Mississippi squirrel.

I can not believe this came out in 1969...51 years ago. I was 15 years old then and a sophomore in high school. Now that I am 66 years old senior citizen this song still makes me laugh and boogie. It also went to number #8 on the Billboard Charts in 1969. I just love it!

Had a cousin that could sing this and his wife looked like Jane

In the 1960s/1970s I played in a family country-music family band. My sister was on drums, brothers were on lead and bass guitar, my mom and dad sang, and I was on the keyboards. We all sang together though and played at least every weekend in every honky tonk and bar in Alaska. This song was one the audience's favorite! My sister on drums sang as Gitarzan's girlfriend and each of us had our parts too. Another one we performed was 'Freddy Feel and His Funky Little Five-Piece Band." OMG - the people roared with laughter. Those were the days that were fun. Thanks Ray Stevens for the entertainment and laughter - I still have your vinyl albums! You're a national treasure to be sure.

My buddy and I were concert promoters back in the 80's. We once booked Ray for a gig in Kissimmee at the Osceola rodeo arena, in Florida. We're both Black, but I took on the persona of "Buck Carson". Since my partner's name was on the paperwork, he could only play his role without the "country" name. But "Buck", was a University of Houston "Soil Science" major. We had the cowboy hats, heavy Texas, accents and everything, even rented two horses. When we went to sign the final deal with Ray, just before the concert, he and his band didn't know what to make of these two 20 something Black Cowboys who loved country music and rode around arena on horseback. I STILL have the visual of how Ray looked us up and down in our cowboy outfits. It was and still is hilarious.... When he took and break, I think he thought it would be funny to introduce us as the promoters of his "sold-out" concert. When we rode in on horses and the crowd saw us, they went SILENT!!!! It was drizzling rain and a little cool for Florida, but to his credit, Ray put on a helluva show and didn't flinch. I must say that he's a true professional, in every sense of the word and a consummate showman. Wonder does Ray remember ole' Buck Carson after all these years? LOL

My dad introduced me to Ray Stevens a couple years ago. I just bought one of his CDs to play in my pickup truck yesterday, and I had a couple friends riding with me so I slapped it on in there and they had never heard anything like it. Once Ray got started they were havin' a blast. we cruised around town with our windows down just listening to it havin' a good laugh. I'll never forget that night, Its so sad that hes starting to get old, there's nobody else like ol' Ray Stevens.

I absolutely love this man and his music 🎶🎵❤ so talented ❤😍💕 God bless you ❤🙏 Ray

The country rapper - whichever song I'm listening to is my fave.

"Shut Up Baby, I'm Tryna Sing". We had the 45 growing up lol

Loved Along came John then 69 gitarzan I was 9. Then streaking became popular then the song 72 I was 12. Played for my kids now my granddaughter, Simple singable music, he also wrote Everything is beautiful big song 60s early 70s war protest. Vietnam now so many. Still need these songs

Ray Stevens is still with us. And performing. Wow!

I love to listen to Ray at home because my Paw Paw listened to him in the car and people looked at us like we were crazy riding around laughing. That Joe Rogan show with the monkey is funny. The dude that played Tarzan probably loved this song.

Amzing how many comical songs I heard in the background while doing something else were written by this guy.

This is a comedic work of art. Hilarious!

G-TARZAN was a huge radio hit down here in Mexico and ALONG CAME JONES too! Both were and still are quite chatchy and lyrics hold a very imaginative and innocent depth as well. Nice pop musical journey to you!

Cute song loved it when I was 13 when it first came out in 1969 !

Another thing I always loved about Ray is that he so often does different versions of tracks on his albums. Like this is diff than the one on the studio album and I kinda recall there being yet other diff recordings of this track on other albums and he's done that with a bunch of his popular songs. I remember getting tons of his cassettes when I was little and getting excited when I'd hear a new version of a track that I thought I already heard before.

This was my first Nickname when a co-worker heard my playing guitar in the parking lot. I never knew there was a video of this.

This Song is SO COOL ! ! ! It's usually the first thing I listen too in the morning while I'm Putting My Boots On & Drinking My Coffee.

Been looking for this song a long time it's a funny song, but what a gem🙂👍👍🤗

Absolutely Fabulous how funny and cool is this!! Timeless one and only..

I hadn't thought about Ray in awhile. Then I saw a video from the Andy Williams show, Ray, Andy and Danny Thomas. Along Came Jones. 😂

I loved that song as a kid

I have been looking for this for ages Thanks so much for the music video. When i was little I only ever heard it on the radio many times & loved it when it came on. Now being able to hear it & ALSO see it is magic. Thanks Ray, The best of health to you.

Omg a blast from the past! I had this on a 45 when I was a kid. Damn I’m old.

Had to look this song up again. Was reminiscing to my youngest about an album called Fun Rock I used to play all the time in the 70s. This was one of my favorites!
