You know, I don't recall ever seeing Ray Stevens without a beard before.

I don't know whether it's funny or just awkward that nobody in the crowd seems to be laughing. Probably not the right venue for that song, although Stevens' delivery also seems a little off in the interview parts. In later performances, and even on the record, he puts a little more feeling into his redneck character.

I used to have The Streak on a compilation LP (possibly K-Tel) in the late 70s, and for a while, I just played it constantly. That and my 45s of Convoy and CB Savage

Oh man, Warner Bros. HAD to have taken them to court over that, or at least threatened..

Actually, I had The Streak on a different compilation - a straight-up collection of recent hits, in fact. That's something you don't see anymore. Novelty songs side-by-side with pop hits.

As for silly song compilations, this was the one we had:
