Warning: video contains country music that some viewers may find cheesy.
The song is ‘Mississippi Squirrel Revival’ by Ray Stevens. All credit to the Evangelism UK website who are using it (one assumes) in evangelism training.
I would like to say ‘no comment’ to the rumours that I have two vinyl Ray Stevens records within my shelving.

Shucks, son, I have that video on VHS. I got it as part of my membership in the Ray Stevens French Fried Far-Out Legion (a.k.a. his official fan club).
That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long, long, long time! Thank you so much for brightening my day!
Priceless … now how do you catch a squirrel?
Far better than the guy who pissith sitting down. Some mother’s do have them.
What are your rules on importing animals?
I’d be happy to volunteer to locate a half-crazed Mississippi squirrel and ship it to you. Perhaps it could be quietly let loose at a certain high-level ecclesiastical-type meeting I understand will be taking place shortly.
I’ll even drive to Pascagoula. It’s about a thousand miles or so from here. All I need to do is drive to Birmingham (the one in Alabama) and hang a right.
Mark – As far as I can see from the video you just reach out and pick it up.
Anne – are your squirrels particularly tame over there? Before they are put in cardboard boxes of course.
Dave,
Actually squirrels here are kind of a mild pain in the neck–they sit on fence posts and telephone poles and heckle the human passers-by, they rob bird feeders, and they’re occasionally known to chew the insulation off of overhead telephone wires. Every once in a while a community somewhere will report an attack squirrel, a sort of death squirrel from Hell that aggressively attacks humans, dogs, cats, and inanimate objects like cars. Nobody knows why they do this. They’re not prone to rabies, so it’s not that.
I think that any red-blooded American squirrel would probably turn into an attack squirrel after having been confined to a box and shipped overseas. The recipient would probably be wise to acquire an animal-control outfit with the padded leather jacket and heavy gauntlets.
I would offer to send you a Maryland squirrel, but ours are all gray. They look quite non-violent when compared to the red one in the video.
Better than being smited with a plague of frogs, I guess.

Anne, that’s pretty much like the squirrels over here. If you sit down in Regents Park they mug you.
‘Course I’m talking grey squirrels here. An import from across the pond. They’ve hounded the native reds to near extinction. Hmmmm, now what other story on Dave’s site does that remind me of?
I won’t go into details – but I needed a laugh and that video helped. (I knew I’d find something funny on this blog!) The video is also a reminder that God can use anyone – even a squirrel!
love it!
Hang on a minute. I just watched this again – to get a lift after reading about the Brewery. Did the preacher guy say that they sent missionaries to the Congo? Maybe another heaven sent squirrel will find it’s way into the Brewer’s Church and send them as missionaries to the …. Apologies to the people of the Congo.
Well this is the only reason I go to church, to wait for a scrawly critter to show up and create an explosion of energy! We should ordain all squirrels immediately!
Pax Vobsicum, Veritas – shame on you not all the exports from America are so devestating as ssguirels.
