Who was talking about the Reba McEntire song "Fancy"?

[TheSeaward]

what a great song

[eddy]

I LOOOOVE that song.

I knew every word of that song as a young teen.


KLASSY!!!!!

I liked it in the 1990s when Reba did it. I do not like it today when every girl who has aspirations of being the next Reba does it at karaoke night.

That & Does He Love You? Omg. I knew way too much about extramarital affairs & prostitution as a kid. Thanks Reba McEntyre!

I wrote Reba and told her that I would name my first daughter Fancy. 

I feel like this needs to be quoted/immortalized.  Hilarious!

And 5thofjuly Fancy is my karaoke jam!  I have no aspirations, though.  And certainly no talent.  It's just the best karaoke song EVAR!

Shut your face. That's my #1 karaoke song! 

Sorry- can't defend it. It's as bad as "Black Velvet" IMO.

I love that song. My mom used to rewind it and play it on repeat in the car. That and The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia, I was too young to understand what really happened in that song though, I always thought the judge did it haha

That was me!! It's my all time drunk jam. I FREAK OUT if it is an available karaoke option.

Man, when I was little I used to listen to the lyrics of this song so hard because I did not know what was happening. I did this with The Thunder Rolls too.

I am listening to this song for the first time right now. Thanks ML.

[BaliHai]

Ah my friend and I used to duet this when we'd drink; I'd forgotten about it until now!

*Off to download*

I freaking love that song. It was my favorite song as a child. I wrote Reba and told her that I would name my first daughter Fancy. Little did I know what I was really promising. I still can't believe my parents let me write that letter. Reba sent me a signed pic back! lol

This is awesome!
I love that song.

Meh.  I like "When You Have a Child"  much better.

At one point early on, I thought it was the big bellied sheriff. 

I never realized it was her until I watched the video. Her videos were always so awesome back then. 

To this day I still don't understand why he "fired a shot, just to flag 'em down"

OH I KNOW. If ONLY he had just CALLED. 

Right, too bad he didn't have his cell on him

I'm picturing in my mind's eye someone like Beatrice Arthur, in her delightful baritone, reading the lyrics to "Fancy" out loud, in a dramatic reading. 

"Here's your one chance, Fancy. 
Don't let me down." 

a local radio dj (man) used to sing it on his show, it was hilarious!

I'm so late to this thread, but I'm dying laughing.

We (me & my sister) had a karaoke machine when we were kids (why did my parents thing this was a good idea?) we sang the shit out of some Garth brooks and John Michael Montgomery... Sold (The Grundy county auction incident), anyone? C'mon now, that is good jam.

I wouldn't be caught dead singing in front of a crowd, but when I get together with my sister & one of our friends.. Fancy, ALL DAY LONG. I've only recently seen the music video.. Oh Reba, how I love thee.
