We're pretty sure that someone could come up with a very funny joke in which a hillbilly, a raccoon and Aretha Franklin walk into a bar. But we're just confident that it wouldn't be quite as hysterical as this video, which stars a hillbilly, a raccoon and Aretha Franklin (sort of).

So here it is ... a Tennessee man with a Santa-like beard named Mark Brown who shakes and shimmies on the porch with his favorite raccoon to the beat of "Chain Of Fools" by the Queen of Soul.

Now, how does Mark not get bitten by the raccoon?

Hannah Montana body spray.

Seriously.

Or in Mark's vernacular, Hannah Montana coon repellent.
