“Play That Funky Music Jesus”
Hey…do it now…yeah hey
Yeah, once I was a country-girl singer…playin’ in an a southern-rock band
I never had no problems, yeah…burnin’ down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah…got to start to feelin’ so low
And I decided quickly [yes I did]…to let the SAVIOR into my soul
SAW DEMONS dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me an ANGEL turned around and shouted
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music JESUS
Pray for our sins, LORD, and and play that funky music till you die…
(hey,hey) way up high!
Well, I tried to understand this…Yeah. I thought that I was out of my mind
How could I be so foolish…HE claims that HE can heal up the blind [How could HE?]
So still I kept on fightin’…refusin’ to believe what he say (Yeah, what’d you do?)
I said, “I must go back there”[Got to go back]…ain’t ready for no damn JUDGMENT DAY
SEEN DEVILS dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me an ANGEL turned around and shouted
Play that funky music JESUS
Lead US SINNERS into the light
Play that funky music JESUS
Pray for our sins, LORD, and and play that funky music till you die…
Way up high! (on the cross, now)
(Come on…Play some electrified funky music, JESUS)
[Hey, wait a minute] Now first it wasn’t easy…changin’ up THIS SINNER’S mind
And things were getting shaky…I thought HIS MERCY I’d never find
Oh, but now its so much better [It’s so much better]…I’m funkin out in ev-er-y way
But I’ll never lose that feelin’ [No I won’t]…Of how I learned my lesson that day
SAW CHERUBS dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me THE SPIRIT turned around and shouted
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music JESUS
Pray for our sins, LORD, and and play that funky music till you die…
Till you die…oh, till you die (for our transgressions, sweet baby)
(They shouted, Play that funky music) Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Got to keep on…Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Pray for your REDEMPTION
(Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higher now…
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music JESUS
Lead US SINNERS into the light
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right, yeah

cross-posted at sda in an effort to really confuse the Canucks this time; see also: Cristy Lane lost recordings 1 and 2.
Mark my words, Goldstein.
Straight. To. Hell.
The funny part, though. Well, relatively.
Spambuster: real
It’s a signigficant improvement on most of the contemporary Christian music I’ve been forced to listen to.

PROFESSIONAL
HELP
Christophobe!
Hopefully there was a harp solo in there somewhere. And if the harp had a wah-wah pedal that would be really funky, I think.
Cristyphobe!
BINGO!!!
Didnt Cristy record a couple songs with KC and the Sonshine Band as well..?
Yes, they can be found only on the DVD “Ron Jeremy, Backdoor Man’s Greatest Hits.”
I note that Jeff’s slim scholarship on Lane has missed the lyrics sheets to “You Are the Wind Beneath My Buffalo Wings,” “Love Lifted Me Skirts,”and “The Old Rugged Crotch.”
That oughta do it.
Evidently some of the Canucks think me a pimply-faced red liberal commie troll baiting weenie boy.
Like HundredPercenter, only with a Molson rather than a Pabst.
Fuck Molson !! PABST BLUE RIBBON !!!
I think I just peed my pants laughing…
VDL,
I know the DVD your talking about. It has that one really famous southern Christian Rock song on it.. Cant remember who did it but it went;
Lord I was born a backdoor man..
Tryin’ to make a livin
and doing the best I can..
And when its time for squealin
I hope you’ll understand
I was born a backdoor man..
I keep thinking Lynyrd Skynyrd .. but thats not it..
FB,
I think it was something like “The Assman Brothers”.
“Evidently some of the Canucks think me a pimply-faced red liberal commie troll baiting weenie boy.”
Cleared it up for ya Jeff, ya gotta understand all the people in the west are on edge from the political bullsh$t, and anything remotely appearing to be a Librano will trigger it. Most of them don’t know who Christy Lane is so i would have to say there the pimply-faced ones…
Thanks, Rob. Yeah, I figured as much. Kate wanted me to confuse everybody over there. Just trying to live up to my end of the bargain.
Tell I said ya did a good job… LOL.. now back to the regularly scheduled fight, will get those pimply faced red commie libranos out of there yet…
I think I was inside the blast radius of this one, then…
Turing = word, as in Yes, I remember the song, but of the satire I grasp not a word.
Cristy Lane is known for her spiritual songs that—oh, never mind. Forget it.
Should I paste some Kinky Friedman lyrics here?
Hey Jeff, see you in hell.
