Also, having seen this before the show, I could not stop laughing every time I saw "Grunkle" Stan in the Disney show "Gravity Falls". (He wears a fez and referenced "the lodge".) He's fat, a conman, lazy, and criminally sleazy: the exact opposite of a Shriner and a Freemason. Just. Like. Coy. In fact, every time I see him, I always think of Bubba and Coy. I enjoy it so much, and I owe all the inside jokes and random laughter when he appears to one of the greatest comedians that ever lived.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is apparently what Illumanati folks say is the New World Order.

@dadoctah: Ray mentions Hahira, Georgia in the song "Erik the Awful" from 1984. In the 1986 recording "Southern Air" Ray mentions that the flight he's on is going from Hahira, Georgia to Yazoo City, Mississippi. The Yazoo connection was did by design because Jerry Clower appeared on the recording as the pilot of the airplane. (Jerry lived in Yazoo City for decades). Ray plays the part of the passenger and Minnie Pearl is the stewardess. You can find that song on You Tube.

The Wikipedia page for Hahira, Georgia singles out this song among "several songs by comedian/songwriter Ray Stevens" for mentioning the town. I can't for the life of me think of another song, by Ray or anybody else for that matter, where the name appears.

I never get tired of watching this. Ray, Freemasonry and Shriner's Rock!

He actually tamed it down a tiny bit for this video. In the original recording he says "I just hope Charlene doesn't find out about this", implying that Coy is cheating on his wife/girlfriend with the little redhead.

I love how he says "pillars of the community" I find myself repeating that from time to time.

@hqfedlegion: For GET SERIOUS, Ray made the following 10 music videos: "Gitarzan", "Woogie Boogie", "Shriner's Convention", "Dudley Dorite", "We Don't Take Nuthin' Off Nobody", "The Dooright Family", "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens", "Can He Love You Half as Much as I?", "I Used to Be Crazy", and "Ahab the Arab".

@hqfedlegion: Ray did a music video of "Dudley Dorite of The Highway Patrol" and it's on his 1995 direct-to-home video movie, GET SERIOUS. This movie is also where this "Shriner's Convention" music video comes from. The writer of "Dudley Dorite", Buddy Kalb, plays the character in the movie. Of course, as of now, Ray hasn't uploaded the "Dudley Dorite" video onto You Tube...but check eBay for copies of GET SERIOUS if you want to see the official music video of that song.

There is a version he made where he makes the comment (about the redhead) ... "it don't make no difference if she was sent over from the Knights of Columbus!" I have that version on my IPod! Keep up the great work. Would love to see Dudely Doo-Right of the Highway patrol as a video.

@20lbsledge: I first heard this song when I was a kid as well. My grandfather had a couple of Ray Stevens cassette tapes. One of them was "Greatest Hits" on the MCA label in 1987 and this song was track two on the album. It's origins go back to late 1979...it was a single very early in 1980...his debut on the RCA label. The single reached the country Top-10 as did the album of the same name. Thanks to my grandparent's I became aware of Ray Stevens and am a huge fan of his.
