Sure do,loved the song,sung by Jeanie C Riley.

@Michael66T The song came out in 1968. I already knew that before the Internet was invented. If your copy of it was made in 1973 it must be a reissue.

Yes,you are quite right 1968 it was😊@NankerPhelge
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@Michael66T I looked it up after my previous comment, and I'm guessing you have this 1973 reissue in your own collection:
The original issue from 1968 (the one which topped the US charts) looks like this:
It's the same recording, just a different label, that's all.

The song and the movie.☺

I have the movie still on VHS, I have never seen it on DVD. I like the song (which is about 10 years older than the movie). I once had it on a vinyl single but it wasn't in mint condition.

Yes, I always wonder about PTA members now.
Jeannie C. Riley ?
@NankerPhelge That's the only one I know about. But then, I'm not a huge country fan. 🙂

@bijouxbroussard I'm not really a huge country fan either, but I do like certain songs of that genre, and "Harper Valley PTA" is definitely one of them. I first remember hearing it on the radio when I was all of 6 years old and I liked it even then, although it took me another decade or so to find out who sang it. I didn't remember the singer's name when I first heard it, but the song title stuck in my mind.

My Mom did that crap

Went into PTA and gave the all hell

One of them my Grandfather had built ,donated the land for it
Mom comes in straight out of Harper Valley and put the fear of God in them all

@rckt148 So, it's your spellchecker that doesn't know the difference between men and women? I didn't think of that. Lol :)

@NankerPhelge Well my dear friend from the UK
I guess you have no clue what a "Red Neck "is
Its people like me who quit school to work hard in the sun to provide for our families rather the pursue a higher education ,a choice I have never regretted .
I spell well enough to be accepted into the hardest branch of service you can join in the USA at 16 yrs old .The United States Coast Guard
I have built Locomotives from the wheels up ,built mansions for some of the richest men in our country ,,and not one time ,was the issue of Blond verses Blonde ever brought up ,so please pardon my ignorance .
Not one time in my life until now ,has that ever been an issue
Maybe in the UK it is ,
But ,the very next time I am in need of knowing such things ,I will consult you .
See thats what I do ,
I pay others to spell for me so I can do the work ,thats my specialty
but thank you very much for pointing out my error
I will do my best to insure it never happens again
Have a great day

@rckt148 It never fails to astound me that people can't tell the difference between "blond" and "blonde" because they are French words and they follow the conventional rules of French grammar. We all do French from age 11 to 13. After that, some carry on with it as an option (which I did) and some don't, but we all have the basic knowledge of it by the time we are 13.

I don't think we are allowed to quit school before we reach 16. After that age, many go to find work while others go on to higher education.

So, you built locomotives, did you? Now that is something that has long been of interest to me. My late father worked on the railway for more than 40 years and so I grew up with trains.
