Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me - Hee Haw - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me" is a comical song from the classic American television variety show Hee Haw, which aired from 1969 to 1992. The show was known for its country music, humor, and rural Southern culture. The song, performed by a quartet of Hee Haw cast members dressed in tattered clothing, was a recurring skit that typically opened with the line, "Gloom, despair, and agony on me; deep, dark depression, excessive misery." The skit was set in a moonshine still, and each cast member took turns sharing humorous tales of misfortune, often punctuated with groans and moans. The original quartet was composed of Roy Clark, Gordie Tapp, Grandpa Jones, and Archie Campbell. Over the years, the lineup changed, with various cast members taking up the mantle. The song remains a beloved part of the Hee Haw legacy, exemplifying the show's light-hearted approach to exploring the themes of hardship and adversity in rural America.
