Stevens' ode to beer-drinking buddies and rasslin' needed not one but two parts. It's funny, plus the chorus might be the catchiest in Stevens' back catalog.
Lots of artists record memorable and funny songs, but only a certain few make an impression with a brand new Christmas song. Stevens pulled off the feat with this classic, featuring the best example of his high-pitched "frantic woman" voice.
The best Stevens song that mirrored pop culture looked to formulaic old movies and serials where a hero always saved the damsel tied to the railroad tracks. He didn't write this one, as it's a cover of an old Coasters hit.
While most of these songs are purposefully silly, Stevens also went the solemn yet surreal route as a songwriter and singer. In addition to this commentary about televangelists, he also captured the same tone on the cyclist tale "Speed Ball" and young love sob-story "I Need Your Help, Barry Manilow."
One of Stevens' more grounded and serious tunes, "Everything Is Beautiful," a Grammy-winning call for love and acceptance, has become a pop standard. Read More: Dolly Parton's 'Romeo' Video is an All-Star '90s Country Delight
In the days before caller ID, prank callers passed the time terrorizing unsuspecting strangers. To get this story across, Stevens becomes the most obnoxious practical joker imaginable.
Stevens, a devout Christian, had a little fun with stereotypes about the old country church on this classic about a "half-crazed Mississippi squirrel." If you grew up hearing this and going to church, it'll probably be funnier to you as an adult.
Many of Stevens' most memorable songs include him doing funny voices. His best and best-known impersonation has got to be that iconic Tarzan yell.
Not even Jeff Foxworthy's imagination could come up with a better tale of a redneck out of his element. No character in Stevens' little universe endears himself to listeners quite like wayward party boy Coy.
No roundup of Stevens' greatest hits would be complete without this mid-'70s crossover hit. It renewed interest in his career by lampooning the streaker craze. It has aged well, remaining one of country music's greatest novelty songs. Editor's Note: Products featured on Wide Open Country are independently selected by our editors. However, when you ...
