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.

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 ...
