Ray Stevens - 'I'm My Own Grandpa' (Live on CabaRay Nashville)

For the 1987 album "Crackin' Up", Ray Stevens recorded his own version of the classic comedy song "I'm My Own Grandpa", which was originally released in 1947 by Lonzo & Oscar. It is the hilarious story about a man who, through an unlikely combination of marriages, becomes his own grandfather. Here is Ray performing it live on CabaRay Nashville!

The fact he can do that without being confused is amazing, because I got lost pretty quick, lol.

My grandpa loved Ray Stevens I was raised on his music.

This is hilarious. My high school biology teacher played this in class for us.

I’m seriously amazed that this is a real song.

I remember when I first heard this song as a kid. It was on the movie "The Stupids." I was singing it all the time as a kid. What memories!

My dad used to sing this to us kids back in the 60’s!!!
He would laugh all the way through the dang song...
Instead of it only taking a couple of minutes, it took him about 10 minutes to finally get through the whole song!!!
After finally finishing the song, he couldn’t stop laughing for another 10 minutes!!!
He used to sing the most corny songs to us!!!
Another one of his favorites was “There’s A Hole In The Bottom Of The Sea”!!!
Those were the good old days!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I used to listen to this song with my dad on the way to the lake to go fishing that was 20 years ago and now he’s is no longer with us so I listen to this when I miss him

I can listen to Ray Stevens all day long. Whenever I would drive from Bremerton to visit my Father in Southern Oregon, he always had the videos ready. I think he was a bigger fan since he acquired all "Raymond Stevens" items before I did. Very, very, very good here.

I first heard a part of this song while watching the movie "Predestination." My own grandpa? So I looked it up on YouTube. This song is soooo funny! I love it!! Beautiful! 😅

Isn’t this the cutest scenario? I love it. It’s funny, confusing, and so very entertaining as Ray Stevens always is. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I used to think this song was made for the movie "The Stupids, " but realized long after that its an actual song from my dad's era. 😂

I love Ray Stevens. His songs have been making me laugh for decades. Now my son follows him.

[ronnieburns]

This is the first time I'm hearing this, Ray Stevens is such a great story teller! You always walk away with a smile on your face!

[cathyrainey]

This is similar to my dad's grandfather who married a widow with 5 kids, she died, he married the oldest daughter and adopted the other 4 kids.

[carlaaustin]

Only Ray Stevens could come up with this song. He's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣.

In my family, there have been three generations that married across between both my parent’s families. None were blood related, but this song has become my anthem! It’s really fun to tell people, my sister’s my cousin, my cousin’s my uncle, my mother’s my aunt and my father’s my uncle. (And that doesn’t even count the cousin’s = who are nephews or nieces.). Then walk away and let them try to figure it out! 😂😂😂

[KombatGod]

And when I finally started coping with the state I'm in,
I suddenly realized what does that also mean:
by being my very own grandparent I'm almost going mad,
see I'm the grandpa of my grandpa: I'm my great-great-granddad!

If you analyze the relationships carefully, every character in the story is their own grandparent.🤯
