Title: Strangest Christian Song
Post by: michael_legna on July 06, 2004, 03:57:55 PM
What is the strangest Christian song that sticks in your mind and you find yourself humming it even though you don't necessarily like it?

For me it is

"Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goal Posts of Life."

I don't even know all the words but it hits me ever so often and then I can't get the tune out of my head.

Hehehe. I've heard it. :) You mean this one:

Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

Make me, oh make me, Lord more than I am
Make me a piece in your master game plan
Free from the earthly tempestion below
I’ve got the will, Lord if you’ve got the toe.

Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

Take all the brothers who’ve gone on before
And all of the sisters who’ve knocked on your door
All the departed dear loved ones of mine
Stick’em up front in the offensive line.

Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

Yeah, Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

OK I REALLY didn't need to know the words to that song!

lol, what is it with all the "nana" and "lala" in praise music now? I mean, honestly, if you do not have the inspireation from God, just STOP! Something you will never see:


Psalm 151:
1 The lord is great and
mighty is the work of his hand
2 I will seek not my own ways,
by work in the will of the lord
3 Nanana, a nana, nana,
Na nana nanana

Damn Vineyard muttermuttermutter

Tibby, I have a couple of the classic "maranatha!" albums dating all the way back to 1973, And there are enough "nanas" and "lalalas" on those old recordings to drive You to drink--lol--Things haven't changed that much, They just sound more professional now...

Daniel Amos' "Shotgun Angel" album from 1978 is chock-full of strange tunes, But the title track wins the blue ribbon for strangeness---"Guardian Angel ridin' shotgun-And he's ridin' with You all the way" -Puh-leeeese.

Yet it's a good tune for what it's worth....

I'll do one better,  I'll holler when I find a Bill Gaither or Al Smith or Jimmy Owens song with lalalas in them.  That's just going back one generation, Mind You... :)

How about Annie Herring's "Prince Song"?  There's an entire "lalala" verse.  Good song, regardless.

And, hey, we sing "Li li li" on some of our Hebraic-influenced music.  Why not "La la"?

However, the strangest Christian song I've probably ever heard...and I've heard a lot...would probably be..."Barry's Car" by Fat & Frantic.  I give points to anyone who's ever heard of either the group or the song.

By the way, why do I know about all these songs from my parents' generation??  ;D
