While on the top of a Munro on Saturday with a bunch of friends (report and photos to follow), we ended up in a discussion inspired by a South Park episode where the main characters make up Christian songs by simply replacing the word “baby” with “Jesus”.
We began to think of examples (we were all Christian, I must add). Some of the best ones included:
Come on Jesus light my fire
Jesus you can drive my car
Jesus, Jesus you know it/you’ve lost that loving feeling
and my personal favourite:
Hit me Jesus one more time
Any others you can think of?
My Jesus takes the morning train, He works from 9 til 5 and then He takes another home again To find me waitin’ for him…
Ooh Jesus I love your way. Everyday, yeah yeah. Wanna tell you I love your way. Everyday yeah yeah. Wanna be with you night and day.
Darling, I can’t get enough of your love Jesus. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why I can’t get enough of your love Jesus.
Jesus’s coming back! Jesus’s coming back! And he’s on his best behaviour…
(or indeed…
Jesus’s coming back, and it’s alright, we won’t turn him round this time.
…)
Burn Jesus burn! Disco inferno!
Nice ones. I should add – there ought to be prizes for the most reverent and irreverent ones!
All that she wants is another Jesus
My Jesus just cares for me
ho hum.. best I can do I’m afraid just now Simon:)
Not bad, Beat – but I would have expected more from your musical mind!
Go lightly from the ledge, jesus,
Go lightly on the ground.
I’m not the one you want, jesus,
I will only let you down.
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an’ more,
But it ain’t me, jesus,
No, no, no, it ain’t me, jesus,
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, jesus.
(B.Dylan)
