C.W. McCall *Crispy Critters* 

cw. mccall is one of the best contry singers ever. i love contry music becose many songs make you laugh

Love this song. I remember when it first came out. Laughed until my sides hurt. THANK YOU C.W. MCCALL F I R THE HOURS OF ENJOYMENT.

I remember riding down the interstate with my dad, in a 53 Pete with double boxes, when I heard this song for the very first time!

Love all his tunes.thankyou.

One of my father's all time favorites.

"Beats the hell out of me, Roy." I still say that whenever somebody asks me a question and I don't know the answer....

absolutely love this guy. Been listening to him since late 80's. Perfect music for crzn in the woods. Great video, and editing. Made me laugh like crazy.

Can't believe I grew up listening to C. W. McCall my whole life, and my mom never heard this one.

@luv24real "Flit" was a a brand of insect spray used long ago (like "Raid" or "Hot Shot" now). It was applied by a canister with a screw-on sprayer. These were known as "Flit guns".

This happened to ever nice town in the West.

In 1976 CW McCall predicted 2019 San Francisco

In under 3 minutes, the story of a lot of small towns from 1967 to about 1970 when hippies became mainstream and took over.

Additionally, best ending to a song ever; "And the mayor was a space cadet."

this is a brilliant series of photos. burst out laughing at the start

I think Telluride was the city he became mayor of back in the 80's, he used to vacation there, after his recording career he could afford to live there

This is true history of Colorado. :-)

Your Pictures were great. I used to play this all the time too. I like the fact that the crispy critters won. I haven't heard this since I stopped being able to use my phonograph about twenty years ago.

C.W. is alive and well living in Ouray, CO .... BOB

B-E-A-U ty song, brings back lots of memories

RIP C W

How has this not became a meme yet

great fun song and good work on your part

If nothing else makes life worth living, this certainly does... :)

Old CW didn't know he was writing the history of The USA for the next fifty years with this song, did he?

Really very well done!

I think this song is a compilation of Telluride and Ouray, since the swimming pool and fish pond are in Ouray, and most of the crispy critters are in Telluride :)

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥Wow, truly beautiful ♥ ♥ ♥

I was just a kid when this was going around.... WWE Raw.....seems to be the most sane thing that I can think of to watch ...if you consider violence sane....

Indeed. We do need more washboard.

all these great lost songs, you earned my sub

Wow...had this 45 when I was a kid...came out in '76, huh? Damn....quite a while ago....I was 12! Yikes!! :)

"Get the incense goin' and the sitar out!" 😹😹😹

Funny, the more things change the more they stay the same. Damn critters!

♫ ♫ ♫yes, its very nice... thanx ♫

Turn your sound up! its a country giggle.

The story of Telluride, Colorado

We had a president who was a space cadet.

Minneapolis ? Seattle ?

Now the whole damn left coast is crispy critters and I'm forced to live among them.

Super!

love to jam this on my 8track

Fun!

U rock thanks

i'd like to see someone put some stars over the heads of the "wall street hippies" we got to day...we ant got none around hear..and that's good..it's better for there heath

Fucking great video, lol. Everything I've imagined when listening to this jam. Had this album on 8 track

Whoever made this slideshow did a great job. impressed But the last minute of the song shows what they do when you dont accept them. They make you by getting on the government and imposing their personal want and thoughts onto you while censoring the others.

@thedicksonsfarm Telluride has been mentioned before by McCall. Listen closely to *Black Bear Road*...

this is my theme song. i have to deal with a bunch of fuckheads and loosing in the end. by the way a space cadet is a high air head, for those of you who dont know

good pic of the marshalls Plymouth

Outnumbered

I LOVE Heath bars!

got 15 seconds to get out of town or we'll blow you to mars...

Yup.

And that is how San Francisco came to be.

Ann Arbor Mi.

Pretty sure this song was about when the hippies took over Telluride in the late 60s.

just goes to show u .....crispy critters r smarter than law enforcement

What they was was some of them crispy critters and their mayor was a space cadet.

Know this.

One person is a space cadet...

i heard this on ktaos

Obama is the space cadet

ROTFLMAO

then they were crispy critters and via evolution..... #OpStopTheBullshit #Anonymous

so why are they called crispy critters?

Am I the only 14 yr old here... haha

It would been funnier if there was a Fortnite purple Battle Bus.

I'm giving a thumbs up for the song but I don't agree with the message at all.

funny .but get off jhonny!!

I wish this song had a banjo solo instead of the “yah” “yah” stuff towards the end. Would have been epic.
