My Congregation

Comments (3) | TrackBacks (0)

Another great song parody by treefrog at Thumos. This one is called My Congregation and is based on a classic song by The Who. Now I happen to be a Who fan (Quadrophenia being one of my all time favorite recordings) and so I decided to reply in kind with my own song parody.

Won't get fooled again

We'll be populating the streets
With many children at our feet
And with morals they will worship and be drawn
And the priests who spurred us on
Open to life, we are strong
World-wide culture of life is our song

I'll tip my hat to the Dogmatic Constitution
Translated in Latin as Lumen Gentium
People of God change the world all around
Pick up my Rosary and pray
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
Vatican II wasn't wrong
It was misrepresented all told, that's all
And the Church is just the same
And teachings can't be changed
'Cause the Spirit, protects it from Hell's door

I'll tip my hat to the Dogmatic Constitution
Translated in Latin as Lumen Gentium
People of God change the world all around
Pick up my Rosary and pray
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
Culture of death don't want us alive
I'll will meditate and Christ not deny
Though I know that the catechized never lie
Do ya?

There's no zing in deceit
Heresy not any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And Progressives on the left
Are now Rad Trads on the right
And dissent from both sides just ain't right

I'll tip my hat to the Dogmatic Constitution
Translated in Latin as Lumen Gentium
People of God change the world all around
Pick up my Rosary and pray
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new dross
Same as the dross

Let's see you do something with "Pictures of Lilly" - can you clean up the lyrics on that one?

*lighting my lighter*

lol, Jeff.

Not only was it a clever adaptation of words, but as I was playing the song in my head while reading. I was struck by how well the new lyrics coincide with the original emphases. Brilliant. ;)

Yes the Greek Captcha is a joke

The Curt Jester

A former atheist who after spending forty years in the wilderness finds himself with both astonishment and joy a member of the Catholic Church. This blog presents my hopefully humorous and sometimes serious take on things religious, political, and whatever else crosses my mind.

My conversion story

Email Me:

Blessed Miguel Pro, S.J.

Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.
