Stevens, Ray - Surfin' U.S.S.R. Lyrics

That was so fun. When Ray came out with this I was so busy studying in medical school I had no time. I missed all of this.

I forgot how funny Ray Stevens was. I was a young adult (25) years old when I first heard him. Bringing back good (old) memories.

"We don't wanna start no nuclear fight,
We just wanna have a beach party tonight....."

Don't we all feel this way every now and then?

Does anybody realize this is kind of a beach boys spoof

Daniel'swtes But

Parents borrowed the vhs from grandparents and forgot to return it about 23 years ago or so lol. They still have it

Why has this been put on the restricted list?

In case anyone might possibly be wondering...the part where Ray and the Beach Boys are sing the Yo Yo part...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2YlbiyiuMc&list=RDx2YlbiyiuMc&start_radio=1

rEALLY STUPID...................

okay are they cooking marshmellos over bacon in a skillet
because that must be the best thing ever

Daniel'swtes But

How the fuck did I just randomly remember this from the few times I went digging through my grandparents VHS shelf as a kid and watched it out of curiosity lol

Same happened yesterday to me so i was like I remember this guy maybe the tapes have curses where they can never be lost ive had my tape since i was around 7😅 and i atill enjoy his comic relief of everything

@Noodle Nation indeed. It's a very wholesome form of comedy, kinda like Andy Griffith but with a little more edge. You wouldn't be from the south, would you noodle?

I thought kommisar was a German thing

1:05 Who's picture is that Ray's holding up?

That's John Lennon

Ray stevens still makes me laugh today and today i need a laugh and i knew this would give me a lol ussr

I hope Nikolai Volkoff didnt catch this.

I've laughed ever since this came out. FUNNY!

Mutiny aboard the pinko ship yo yo yo yo yo yoyoyoyoyoyo

Have you actually met any of those honey's from Moscow? I have in north Texas and wow they may be racist but they are gorgeous

In Russian, "Surfin' USSR" is "Cерфинг CCCP"!

YOOOOOOO YO YO YO YO YOYOYOYOYOYOYOYOOOOOO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YOYOYOYOYO YOYOYOYOYO

How could anyone not like this?

I love how reagan and gorbachev are having a normal conversation while their wives fight each other.

Too bad they didn't play this song on "The Americans"!

I love it Lenin,Lenin,Lenin.....Lennon.

First thing i thouht of was Trump and Latimer Putin

Please release this album in Australia ! I’ve got the original tape however it’s not available on iTunes or Spotify !

God help us Ray .

It's 2017 and this is hilarious.

De Ja Vu much? Both Russia and the Dems reviving the same ol crap as back then. Blown outta proportion. Ya just gotta laugh or else you;ll cry...

Those that do not learn form hiostory are doomed to make the same mistakes.

Yo yo yo yo yo. Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoh yo. Yoh yoyoyoyoyoyohyohyoh.

Hey, President Putin! Get your navy to come back for a visit!

Yes, come and throw a party . Just leave the guns and political stuff behind.

First time I've ever heard this. A masterpiece!

Still have the VHS.

ray stevens is one of fav entertaimenter startedwith ahab gitrzan everything is beautiful thestreak

butchlshare

a fun song of the times, a very well done parody of a classic Beach Boys song. I hadn't heard this song in years and I am impressed with just how well it pulls it all off.

I have the original VHS From 1993

Go old one, but in 2017 they are still doing it

Now Ray Stevens is funny as shit and he's not vulgar

Beach parties instead of war works for me!

song is really about the Soviet K-129 sub that sank NW of Hawaii back in the 60's. It was over took by a crew of renegade KGB agents trying to start WW3. The US salvaged the sub in the 70's and found one of the 3 nuclear missiles in the launch state. It seems the captain would not release the real launch codes and the missile exploded in the bay. They were trying to make it where we would blame China by getting so close before launching. Thats why you see the Red Star on the sailors hats and not the Soviet hammer and sickle.

This music is my childhood.

there should be no minimum wage

who is this lady at the video's front picture ?

Funny!!!!!

What song is Ray singing "Yo-yo-yo-yo...." to? I've heard this tune before, but I don't know what the name of it is.

Полюшко-поле Polyushko-pole (Also known as Cossack Patrol)

they don't make anything like this now a day.

Perhaps they will make better parodies now that political correctness is out the window and the Duck is the most made fun of president in history.

People aren’t smart or insightful enough to write brilliant material like this.

True...but there’s also no Cold War anymore.

ok boomer

@Terax3 yeah a BOOMER and proud of it. I worked exceptionally hard and many people are alive bc I did.
I just could not get the INSANE Congress to listen to reason and restrain spending; change social security to private investment (but their program is private);stop meddling in medicine; or stop wars. Didn’t matter which party!!! I sure tried in between working hard in medicine. Congress destroyed quality control industry; Congress caused the high cost of medicine. I’m now tired an seriously ill bc I was really over worked by the AMA’s CPT WORKING SCHEDULES about which the public still knows little !!!!! But hear me good : MANY PEOPLE ARE ALIVE BC OF ME. Yeah I am a Boomer.
I am sorry the US Congress still acts insane. I and many of us could not tame these people who refuse to accurately represent us.

All of the ladies who are around Ray Stevens look like they have no idea what they're supposed to be doing LOL they're like . . kinda dancing a little but . . . kinda not dancing . . and kinda looking around for direction while all the old men act like goof balls

DXCProductions Yeah, especially during the yo-yo part.

That makes it even funnier

3:33 yoyo fail on the right

we just want to have a beach party toniiiiiiiight wooohoooo

wonder what Brian Wison and Paul M thought of this tune

Wow, the "Girl from Moscow U" kinda looks like Benny Hill.

Ha! That's actually Buddy Kalb. He writes a lot of songs for and with Ray and he appears in a lot of Ray's music videos, too. Buddy plays The Blue Cyclone in that particular music video and the TSA agent in "The Skies Just Ain't Friendly Anymore" and Harv Newland in "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival", just to name a couple. Buddy wrote The Mississippi Squirrel.

~Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo, yoyoyoyoyo-yoyoyo~

Wonder what my ASL Instructor would think if I tried to sign Surfin USSR in class. LOL That's great!

+Becky Brooks I did it before!  30 years ago to my girlfriend who was deaf.

One of my favorite songs from you. I have loved your music since I was....geez, I'm almost 40 now and, well, I was a kid. The earliest I can remember was watching your video of Santa Claus Is Watching You, when I was about 11. So a long time.

Battle of the first ladies.

Does this guy have something on Nazis? This was just too funny, but I'm wondering if he has something similar for Nazis.

I wonder if the beach boys helped him in writing this one

Loved this one. Remember seeing this on " Good Night LA "  several times back in the 80`s.

omg i have the VHS tape with this on it somewhere!! i haven't watched this stuff since i was like 8 holy crap! XD

ME TOO !

Bruh me to

Same here. Me and my sister wore that tape out when we were kids.

Yep me too lol

Same. Lol

ray stevens was the cletus t. judd of his generation, only he didn't parody anything. His songs were all original, and a lot of them were laugh out loud funny! you should listen to Family Funeral Fight, it'll make you think twice about going to your next family gathering. 

still to this day i have the biggest crush on the blonde in the heart shaped sunglasses... yeowza

It's funny how blacks hate .. We can do this and nothings said but put on a black guy's mask on and now it's racist .. Shows you the thoughts of most black folks ...

What would happen if he putws on a Mexican hat or a turban? Let the fireworks and comment wars begin.

That was the good old days--you can't wear a mask of president now because its racist.

How is orange racist? Trump is the only one in the orange category.

He wrote that 4 yers ago, but lol

Me too. My grandparents gave me their "Comedy Classics" VHS and I still have it in working condition. This song came somewhere between Sittin' Up With the Dead, Mississippi Squirrel Revival, and The Streak.

Yup my "Jaja"

I am 28 too...parents had the VHS also, good tunes still

No kidding soberheart84? Me too! My grandparents had a VHS tape with a bunch of Stevens music videos I used to watch all the time....this, Sitting Up With the Dead, the one with the church squirrel in church...a bunch more. I should ask them if they still have it.

Instead of our own government?

how old are you

You got the wrong Lennon Ray. Lennon is British but Lenin is Russian.

That's the joke.

I don’t get it

@Jackson D. Begley You suck McBain!

yeah i got it digital before my tape broke

The good ol' days when the USSR was our biggest threat... :P

I had this on VHS. The tape included help me make it through the night and the streak etc.

The absolute best! :D

I haven't heard this song in forever

Lmao! Classic

Hah Love this song!
