Ray Stevens/YMMV
- Acceptable Targets: The #1 with a Bullet album takes two very un-subtle jabs at Japanese. He uses a mocking Japanese Ranguage accent in "A Little Blue-Haired Lady" for no particular reason, and mercilessly pokes fun at their technological advances in "Workin' for the Japanese" (which also uses the accent at the end).
- Anvilicious: "We the People" hammers the listener over the head with Stevens' conservative Christian views, to the point that even if one agrees with the overall message, it's still pretty irritating.
- This is nothing new. Witness "America, Communicate with Me" from the early 1970s.
- Covered Up:
- He was the first artist to release "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", which would later become a big hit for Johnny Cash.
- "It's Me Again, Margaret" was originally cut by a little-known novelty singer named Paul Craft.
- Special Effects Failure: The Laugh Track skips at one point in "The Streak".
