You’ve heard, maybe, of The Rothschilds. You’ve heard, maybe, of Fiddler on the Roof. I give to you the next Broadway sensation…

Getting Ready for the weekend…
First, a while back I posted a review of “It Came From Beyond“, a delightful 1950s camp musical that we saw with shutterbug93, starring Kevin Earley. Music and lyrics by Norman Thalheimer and Stephen Michael Schwartz. Christianson and Thalheimer are known for their new musical Wicked City Blues; Stephen Michael Schwartz is well known for being a member of Parachute Express, doing the music for Jay Jay the Jet Plane, and being a member of Temple Beth Hillel. The author of the show, Cornell Christianson, has just posted a few clips from the show on YouTube, so I figured I would take advantage of the new embedding feature…
Channeling Lizards for Right and Might
Watch this video from You Tube (“Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis”) by Eric Schwartz. It’s probably not safe to listen to at work (references to male organs), but it reminds me of some of the best targeted messages of the Austin Lounge Lizards. For those that can’t listen to it, here’s a sample of the lyrics:
| Well I’m frickin’ sick and tired Of turning on the news And seeing the religious right’s Ungodly fight to take our right to choose When to bear our children Who to love and how Education and protection If we’re just practicing for now So dubya look obey a book If that’s what works for you But I don’t tell you how to pray So don’t tell me how to screw Chorus |
So you’re screaming bloody murder ‘Bout the taliban regime For subjugating women And being too extreme And basing legislation On some ancient holy book Does that sound a bit familiar? Here’s a mirror, have a look And as for the ten commandments |
It is as good a commentary on the behaviour of the “Christian Right” as “Jesus Loves Me But He Can’t Stand You“:
I know you smoke, I know you drink that brew
I just can’t abide a sinner like you
God can’t either, that’s why I know it to be true that
Jesus loves me–but he can’t stand you
I’m going to heaven, boys, when I die
‘Cause I’ve crossed every “t” and I’ve dotted every “i’
My preacher tell me that I’m God’s kind of guy; that’s why
Jesus loves me–but you’re gonna fry
Watch it. Highly recommended.
