...AAAAAAND we're back! 

The whole household spent the weekend and the early part of the week dealing with shall we say... gastric distress... We have our darling son to thank for bringing that little gift home to all of us, and as all thoughtful gifts are, it was the gift that kept right on giving. Feel free to use your imaginations on that one. 

Gross news updates aside, I really do love this song. I bet I can count on one hand the number of you who've actually heard it before, but now that you have it'll be stuck in your head like the friendly little ear worm it is. 

Shout out to Layne for being a PERFECT actor in our little scene together, although, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not entirely sure he was acting. Leave a snarky comment below and let me know what YOU think.

As always, I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you so much for helping bring this old dusty tune some new life and (possibly) a new audience.

I will have to listen once my Dr appointment is done, but I can't wait!!!

KJayhawks27

That’s honestly an amazing comedy part to the whole thing, adds so much too it 🔥

ZAYRAY!

That was so fun. Definitely a good way to end the day I just had. Also I was totally not dancing along... Laynes also hilarious in this. Now Imma go and watch again and not sleep... 🤣🤣

Amélie Brodeur

I LOVE it!! Didn’t know this song, but will definitely listen it on repeat🔥

Alaethea (Ali)

Well you would be correct that I have not in fact heard of it. It's a bit strange, but I like any song that tells me to go and saddle up. Equestrians will take any excuse to go to their horses.

Olivia

Watching that made me really want to laugh, but I wanted to hear everything, so I tried not to laugh, and now my lungs hurt. Wow.

Debs Badger

Well, sir, *I* have heard this song, because I *had* that album as a kid. (I had most of the Disney albums with Thurl...wish I still had them, but I pretty much played them to death.) That was extremely enjoyable! Thank you! 🤠💕

Katie D

I love it!! 😁 And you're right, this is definitely going to be stuck in my head. "Wasn't that just you in 4 different shirts" killed me 🤣 Also the way you scooched closer to Layne 😂 Sorry to hear about the gastric distress, hope you're all feeling better!! 💗

Alex King

This is probably the most fun waking up at one o'clock in the morning in my life.

Kimberly Friend

Ok I couldn't wait till after. I KNOW THIS SONG!! I heard it once when I was younger. Great job! Brought back memories.

Amanda W

This had me giggling. 😂

Marlo Schalesky

Love it! How fun, especially for me who spends most her time at the barn literally "saddling up." In fact, I just got back from the barn and giving foster kids horseback rides! Thanks for this one, Geoff. (Sorry about the unexpected/unwanted gifts, though. Sigh. I've got 6 kids of my own so I know all about that kind of thing. Ick.)

ZAYRAY!

When you moved closer... you may have just sat on his lap at that point 🤣🤣🤣

Olympia

That was amazing! It’s such a fun little tune and I loved the scene Hope everyone is feeling better

ZAYRAY!

Three shirts one a different color 🤣 technically is still 4 yes 🤣🤣🤣

Kristina Bjerkan

I did enjoy this! Had so much fun watching it :) Feel better, hope your "gift" is done giving :)

Remember

Exceptionally well done. Brought a big smile to my face. 😁

Margo Zimny

I love it! Definitely put a big ol' smile on my face. It was perfect for your amazing range. Ear worm, yes...being connected to the porcelain throne 😳

Susan Smith

Great song. Layne joining you added even more fun to it! 🤪

Nana Koranteng

That was amazing i think i was more focused on Layne's reaction to you on the couch the ending especially that was hilarious. Great cover Geoff you never cease to amaze me

Maggie S

That was great! Geoff and Layne in the little scene are hilarious! Layne's one line is perfectly delivered. First time hearing this song...that I can remember. Need to listen again. Thank you!!

ZAYRAY!

Im pretty sure layne was planning your murder during that 🤣 are you still with us?!??!!

Sandy Mrotek

Wonderful, wonderful. Loved the song and the upbeat rhythm. Very, very catchy. Since most of us don't know the song but now everyone will know it. Thanks for the smiles.

Amanda W

Layne seems very... Layne-ish. 😂

Gretchen G

You look delighted to the point of being slightly manic. 😂 Layne has perfected the "bored and slightly bemused by my weird friend" look. This sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't think where I would have heard it. Love it! It's definitely gonna be stuck in my head for a while.

Tina Larson

Loved it! I can confidently say that I have heard this song before! It’s been such a long time since I’ve heard it, but I love your version of it! And Layne did a lovely job as well! Great job and I can’t wait for the next one!

Ansley

I literally smiled the entire time I watched this 😁😁😁 my face hurts. Never heard the song before but now it'll be stuck in MY head.

Julia Cable

Ha. I love it and Laine is perfect! Fun fact, a relative of mine sent Wild Bill Hitchcock to his heavenly ride.

DS Hall

Fun! Fun! 🎶💕🎶 But Layne probably prefers 4 Geoffs in the same shirt.

DG

Love it. Needed something happy and upbeat. Work is too somber today.

Rebecca Hendricks

That was hilarious! I love it!! Hey Layne, let's see you in a video in four different shirts and see what you sound like. 😁

Rio

Well, I definitely didn't know this song, but all I know now after seeing this is I need a show with this as the intro sequence! 🤣 And Layne was perfect, though I agree... he wasn't acting at all. Thanks for making me genuinely laugh with this!

Nellie Daugherty

You loving what you do and having so much fun doing it sings through on this one. A nifty toon to be sure. You more than did it justice.

Helen A

This had a strange effect on me. When I was little my dad had a bunch of "Disneyland LP" records from his childhood (Including a couple of original Mickey Mouse Club records.) and we used to play them on a little turntable and my dad would always sing along with Thurl. (He was a bass too.) Next month will be the one year anniversary of my dad's passing and hearing this was like getting a hug from the great beyond. Thanks so much for the great memory!

Amanda W

It feels like a long distant memory. I want to hear Geoff say, "You're great!" now. 😂

Arlene Jacobs

Hope you are all feeling better. Loving this cover that I haven’t heard before!! Loved Layne’s last line. Just perfect!!

Kinga Varga

Is it 1:43 a.m. for me? Yes. Do I click on the link right away when I receive notification about a new song? Of course, yes. I just needed this for my mood! :D

Tara Congo

Okay, well - first, that was hilarious. I was giggling like a moron. Second, I definitely didn't know that song, but now it's going to be stuck in my head for days. That was so much fun!!! Also (third?), loved the Layne cameo 😂

Cindy Barber

Ok, there were pieces of that that KIND of sound slightly familiar, but I don't think I've probably heard it before, or if I have it was so long ago that I do not remember it. That was a ton of fun, and Layne killed me....

Jen A AKA Dravengal

That was delightful! Loved the bit with Layne. Shame on you, Geoff, for not sharing your popcorn with him though!

Tracie Schlaak

And the Oscar goes to .....Layne🥕 Geoff this was amazing. Because I’m old I have heard this song. Great choice and awesome job!!!❤️😊

Tara Congo

Oh, and fourth - I think these are my favourite harmonies you've done in a song yet. Also, the editing is amazing. /gushing

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

You’re right. - Never heard it before. But now I have and I like it. 🎶🥰👍

Jessica Guerrero

I love it and was laughing at Layne the entire time! Absolutely amazing!!!

Terry Ford

Great arrangement, Geoff. Thurl would be proud!

Jennifer Lantz

“Wasn’t that just you in 4 different shirts?” 😂😂Layne killed me

Sophie Plourde

So catchy! I was laughing so hard at Layne falling asleep and you on the couch like 😃

Jessica

Amazing job Geoff i have never heard this song before but it now a favorite of mine. "Wasn't that just you in 4 different shirts ? " lol too funny Layne

Shari Ann Creamer

I had never heard this before. I love the visual production. It's my favourite look you've come up with so far. Cheerful, like the song, and nostalgic.

Jamie T.

I love it! Layne has the best facial expressions ever! I actually have heard this song before but not by Thurl Ravenscroft. It was also done by a group called The Reinsmen in 1972 which is the version I'm familiar with. My dad was a great fan of all things Western so I have him to thank for knowing the song.

Jojo Hale

Layne at 2:46 I’m dyinnnnnnnngggg 😂🤣😂🤣

Kim Taylor

Wow, this has so much energy and fun! Loved your vocals, loved the graphics and fast pace of the video and having Layne in there as well, with such facial expressions and attitude. I kept picturing the two of you as friends back in school in your late teens, early 20s. 😂. Such a cheery version of this song!, ❤️❤️❤️

Hunter

Whoa! Emerging from Geoff's shirt at the very beginning is always fun! Very well done! I needed a good dance-in-my-seat kinda tune for my weekend had much sadness so I needed a pick me up! And you never fail! Thank you so much for this! I loved it!

Sophie Plourde

literally came home from the barn and watched this😂😂😂

darlene cheatham

Love it. Layne made the perfect straight man

Amanda W

My son just said that you must be really lonely in quarantine, if you're ZOOM calling yourself. lol

Justin Bush

This was a ton of fun! I really like you taking a more obscure song and really making it your own! Loved the style, the note choices, the harmonies. All excellent!! Also The video was super funny, Laynes facial expressions were priceless!

Lourdes Sanz

Lol 😂😂🙈 this is truly fun! I really enjoyed it!

Alex Walker

So much fun! Geoff, you look like an excited little kid enjoying his fav show. Layne was just upset cause you didn't share your popcorn, and his line killed me! 😂😂😂. I love it! ❤️❤️❤️

Liath Noy

This is a great song to start a day - any day! Love it! and I will definitely hear it over and over again in my head. Geoff - you're my hero. BTW, if you see many views from Israel in the last 2 months, that's cause I tell every person I know about your songs and VoicePlay videos. They really helped me going through some weird times in this part of the world. Your music reaches beyond any boundaries.

Cat

I love it.

Claudia Russi Fischer

I never heard that one - but it is a great song ! Makes you wanna get up and get going ..

Sophie Llewellyn Smith

So many laughs! 🤣🤣 So many questions! Geoff, have you just discovered some whizzy new video transitions and effects and decided you wanted to try them ALL out? 😁 And: do you only have one blue checked shirt (Country Roads video...)? Layne was priceless in this. Surely he must have teenagers at home, to have absorbed their mannerisms so perfectly. Thanks for the fun song!

Veronika Troll

Amazing! It is indeed an earworm:)) Loved Layne in the video too

ZAYRAY!

GOOD! 🤣

Geoff Castellucci

Have you ever seen a SMALLER popcorn bag? There wasn’t anything to share!

Julia Cable

For real. Broken nose Jack McCall (my maiden name) killed Wild Bill during a card game. Bill was holding aces and eights, now known as "the dead man's hand"

Nadia Davì

I must say that sometimes the time difference is annoying because I can't take part in the chats (except for these last ones with friendly timing even for us! thank you for this 😊 as someone else have already said). But, after all, waking up in the morning and discovering that during the night you released a new content or even more the brand new cover song is more than a pleasant awakening and a good way to start the day! Especially with this song !!! Really, I've never listened to this before in my life, but actually it's going to be stuck in my head. Perfection as always (love the harmoniiiiiiies), the video is very very funny and Layne... shout out to him too! Also, this brought me back (really back) to when I was a child and I forced my brother to watch some TV show so boring to him... he had same Layne reaction! Sorry, very long comment 😅 just to say: Great as always Geoff!!! Thank you!

Debs Badger

I believe 3 of 4 of Layne's daughters are teenagers. 🤣 (And it's a different checkered shirt 🤣)

Tracie Schlaak

I may have listened to this more than 10 times at work. It makes me smile so much :)

Hana Keindlová

Ooooh, I hope that the "gift" is now completly gone. I can imagine how it was as once my niece bring us some similar present... I laughed hard at the video. So much welcomed laugh in those times. Loved your interaction with Layne, especialy the end 😂 What I adore most of all is how you find your way to use all those high and low (I mean loooow) notes during the song, here and there and still make it sounds perfectly smooth and how to say, "all in the exact place as it should be". I never heard this before but I am sure I will hear it often now ❤️

Cassandra Collins

Never heard it before, but what fun! Your range is always amazing to me, although quite honestly I could just listen to you talk all day.

Veronika Troll

Where can I get the TV with the 24/7 Geoff-show on it? :D

Dan Black

That song is fun! You're right; I don't think I've ever heard it before. I like it, though! Great harmonies and great performance. And yeah, Layne's funny there.

Lorraine Tellei

I love the expression on Geoff's face while he watches. Just like an 8 year old. Great harmony. Although I could use less of the religion in the lyrics. In what year was the Disney version distributed?

Ingrid

You should try "Come Wayward Souls" it's a song from Over the Garden Wall, a really really good song

Aaron Hatcher

The fattest chest F#1 of all time

Amanda Yarbro

That was A-MA-Z-I-N-G! Here's what I think Layne was thinking "Can Geoff PLEASE get off me! Man how long is this song going to go on?!?!?" LOL!

Cindy Jones

Never heard it before. But,I can see why it's stuck with you. I'm glad you're able to snuggle with Layne 😍

Sunniva Melhuus

This was lovely! 🥰 I can’t stop smiling. You are two silly geese.

Sunniva Melhuus

When this goes public I will start using 2:44 as a gif. I feel like I’m both of you at the same time.

Debs Badger

"This Was The West" was released in 1958.

WisconSims

Please share it when you do!

WisconSims

What a great little western/gospel ditty!! My middle son's name is Gabriel, so I almost fell over when it was the first word of the song XD

Rosie Boughen

I 100% believe that you found a way to play the video on that little TV screen, and that *neither* of you were acting. ☺️🍿📺

Samantha Ratcliff

I need to find someone who looks at me like Geoff looks at Geoff 😂

Ashley Evers

Ok, so, I know it's been a long time since you made this comment. But it deserves a lot more love, holy buckets. I will be thinking this every time I watch this video now :)
