Suzi @ My Own Thoughts sez: "Steve Martin sings with the Steep Canyon Riders. It's hysterical." It is.
Lyrics (Courtesy of Agnostic Thinking )
Christians have their hymns and pages, (hymns and pages)
Havah Nagilah is for the Jews, (for the Jews)
Baptists have their rock of ages, (rock of ages)
Atheists just sing the blues.
Romantics play Claire de Lune, (Claire de Lune)
Born agains sing He is Risen,
But no one ever wrote a tune, (wrote a tune)
For godless existentialism.
For Atheists,
There’s no good news,
They’ll never sing a song of faith.
In their songs they have a rule,
The “he” is always lowercase.
The “he” is always lowercase.
Some folks sing a Bach cantata, (Bach cantata)
Lutherans get Christmas trees,
Atheist songs add up to nada, (up to nada)
But they do have Sundays Free.
Some folks sing - they sing to heaven, (sing to heaven)
Coptics have the book of scrolls,
Numerologists count - they count to seven, (count to seven)
Atheists have rock and roll.
For atheists, there's no good news.
They'll never sing a song of faith
In their songs they have a rule,
The “he” is always lowercase.
The “he” is always lowercase.
Atheists - Atheists - Atheists
Don't Have No Songs.
Christians have their hymns and pages,
Havah Nagilah is for the Jews,
Baptists have their rock of ages,
Atheists just sing the blues.
Catholics dress up for mass
and listen to Gregorian chants.
Atheists, just take a pass
watch football in their underpants.
Watch Football in Their Underpants
Atheists - Atheists - Atheists
Don't have no songs.
Don't Have No Songs.

Excellent.
Posted by: pdwalker at June 25, 2010 10:02 PMNow they do.
Posted by: Jewel at June 26, 2010 1:01 AMSure they do.
Imagine there's no Heaven, it's easy if you try, nothing worth killing or dying for, and no possessions too.
Cash the check and pass the pipe.
I always hated that song, Mr. Wilson, and I always hated John Lennon. I know that won't make me popular, but I just always found him boring and pompous.

Posted by: reliapundit at June 26, 2010 11:56 AMBTW: US JEWS HAVE LOTS ,MORE THAN HAVA NAGILA.
I TAKE OFFENSE TO THE IDEA WE DON'T.
MOST OF OUR "MASS" IS SUNG.
AND MUCH OF CHRISTIAN SONGS ARE BASED ON OUR HEBREW PSALMS.
Posted by: reliapundit at June 26, 2010 11:57 AMI would think that the song is sung in the key of kindly joshing rather than an attempt to make a global observation for the ages.

Posted by: Fletcher Christian at June 26, 2010 3:25 PMThank you for the musical portion of the day.
Posted by: Sadie at June 26, 2010 3:48 PMFletch, what do you mean we don't give filthy lucre to support their causes? Sure we do! What atheists have is the mandate and enforcement of the Almighty State, which forces us to both pay them involuntarily through our taxes, and then we have to fork over our kids to them as well.
Outstanding. And perfect for my Sunday post.
Posted by: Obi's Sister at June 27, 2010 12:26 PMKnow what else we don't have?
Callused knees. :)
Hey, just joshing! All in good sport.

What they have instead is "scientists" who perpetrate giant, expensive frauds (thereby tapping us for waaaayyyyyy more than any two-bit televangelist) while wearing busines casual and scraggly beards.
