Once I tried to run
I tried to run and hide
But Jesus came and found me
And he touched me down inside
He is like a Mountie
He always gets his men
And he’ll zap you any way he can
Zap!
Slightly disturbing, no?
How do crazy people find each other?
So THAT’S what happened to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
“He loves me when I’m quiet
and I have nothing to say.”
I sure would like this guy more if he were quiet. When was this made? I’m guessing early 80s.
Who is that lead singer? Does he remind anyone else of Donny Osmond?
Dear lord. The other day I overheard a music prof at my university tell another music prof that this “hip kid” at his church, “maybe 21, 22 years old” had come in with a brilliant song he’d just created. He started singing the lyrics.
It was this song.
Oh lord.
I had no idea.
What’s scarier:
the fact that someone actually went to the trouble of passing this crap off as his song in order to impress the worship band at his church?
or
The fact that at least one of those duped musicians found the song impressive enough to tell his friends?
(shudder)
That is soooooooooo bad (I feel I can’t use enough o’s on that one). It hurt be deep inside, and I never like it when Christians make Jesus and God sound perverted (he touched me in that special place). Wow, it burned, in a funny way.
Lohengrin, I would say probably the 70s by those clothes. 80s was like big poofy hair and… other stuff. You know.
Randy Tayler, I love your pencil website, by the way.
This video really freaks me out.
The style of music precludes it from being the 1970s. Ska was just starting to gain mainstream popularity by the end of that decade, and Christian bands usually don’t co-opt a style until it’s already really, really common. The guy who first posted the video on the Internet says he’d had it on a VHS tape for 25 years, which means 1983, which seems about right.
I’d still have to guess early 80s. There’s still the 70s influence in clothing, but ska music really didn’t enter into white middle America until early 80s brought MTV with bands like Madness and the Police.
Oops, posted after Eric with the same basic premise.
I only lasted 10 seconds…did someone mention madness? I think I’ll go youtube myself some madness or english beat…
Ska should never be used for such aural evil.
In the mighty words of Hank Hill, “Christian rock doesn’t make Christianity cooler, it makes rock music worse!”
That’s interesting that Jambalaya heard of someone claiming to have just come up with this song.
This is why people make fun of CHRISTIANS or CANADIANS? Or both?
Ah, that makes sense, Eric.
Ha ha Christina D. I have been vindicated. Regardless, I think that we can all agree that harsh punishments should be prepared for the producers of such music.
1:18 = BEST COMB-OVER EVER! I tell ya, between that and the pedo-stache, that is one fine-lookin MAY-UHN!!
That song has been burned into my memory forever. And not in the good way.
I’m drawn in some inexplicable way to the guitarist standing to the left of the lead singer. You rock that orange guitar, toothbrush mustache, and polyester shirt, dude.
Oh dear. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone found this.
………….!!
o_O
That’s me being struck speechless.
YAY! I LOVE JESUS SO MUCH I’M GOING TO EXPLODE NOW!!!
I don’t know, I thought it funny, but in a harmless dork kind of way. I liked the way the singer raised his eyebrows every time he said “friend”. The song made me smile, without the accompanying terror so many others seem to have experienced.
Ahahahahahahaha*sniff . . . ha . . . *sob sob sob.
How can I concentrate on medical terminology when I have that demon song and those old women and creepy gaychimopervert Donny Osmond-esque fiend chopping away at my brain? How, may I ask?
I haven’t laughed this hard in quite some time. Muscles are hurting in my face where they haven’t hurt in a while.
Nice catch Eric.
Can’t…stop…watching….
Here’s a thought for you…
This is exactly what heaven will be like.
What do you do now, hotshot? What do you do?
That was actually kind of a rocking bass line. Pity it was wasted on a lame song. Change the lyrics and with a bit of remixing (like cutting the backup singers) this is a cool song. With the proper treatment I can see me skanking to this.
I don’t know. These guys are dorky, sure, but they’re trying, right?
I’m still not sure what Christian groups are trying to accomplish with this kind of music. “Hey, do you love Jesus and insipid music? Yes? Then come on over!” I don’t get it.
Did I hear those lyrics correctly?
