I really like his music. He can be funny all the time, but he can be serious as well such as "Everything is Beautiful".

I think Ray Stevens is probably one of the most underrated talents in the
business. He recorded a swarm of witty, hilarious novelty tunes like "Santa Claus Is Watching You," "Gitarzan," "The Streak," "Along Came Jones," "Ahab the Arab," "Bridget the Midget," "Shriners' Convention," and perhaps his funniest song of all: "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival."

Born Ray Ragsdale on Jan. 24, 1939 in Clarksdale, Georgia, Ray made numerous appearances on Andy Williams' TV show in the late '60s and
hosted his own series in the summer of 1970. Billboard named him "the #1
novelty recording artist of the past 30 years." But he also recorded several
serious songs such as "Everything Is Beautiful," "Turn Your Radio On," "Have a Little Talk with Myself," "Mr. Business Man," "Sunday Morning Coming Down," "Isn't It Lonely Together," "Misty" and "You Are So Beautiful." He
had 16 songs in Billboard's Top 40 country chart and 9 songs in Billboard's
Top 40 pop chart, including two No. 1 hits ("Everything Is Beautiful" and
"The Streak).

I remember when "The Streak" came out, it was hilarious. He has so many cool songs!
