White people aren’t the only ones dabbling in bad Christian rap these days.
Everybody with us now:
“Baby Wake Up… It’s Suuuunday
Get the Kids Up… It’s Suuuunday
I been going to church my whole life on Sundays,
I messed up all week but not on Sunday!”
Without a doubt, Carman is the king of entertaining Christian music videos. In fact, he was featured in our last Throwback Thursday. Well, he’s going to make two “Throwbacks” in a row, because the following video is too awesome not to have a permanent home here at American Jesus.
In fact, we’re going to go ahead and make that a rule: If you make a Christian video that involves a Western themed bar-room shootout between demons and man, we’re posting that bad boy. Man law.
Ladies and Gentlemen, “Satan Bite the Dust.”
If our interview with the May 21st people didn’t convince you of the return of our Lord, then perhaps this little ditty might do the trick.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. These guy’s enthusiasm for the second coming is infectious!
These guys may not have the amazing American flag windbreaker as the guy from the other day, but they still have lots of stuff going for them.
What’s perhaps most incredible about this video is the fact that it’s not one of those classic late 80′s, early 90′s videos from a bygone era when people “just didn’t know any better.” Based on the appearance of the MacBook Pro in the beginning and their own reference to the Tea Party this epic song was written and recorded in the past couple of years.
Which means those outfits, haircuts, and dance moves were also chosen within the past couple of years.
Anyway, sit back, relax, and plug in your ears enjoy this sure to be classic song about America “returning” to the things she once believed.
Remember back in the day when Lenny Kravitz was relevant and he covered “American Woman” by The Guess Who and made it popular again?
Well, in good ‘ole fashioned “we only use material that hasn’t been relevant in a least a decade” Christian style, these guys took that classic song and put a Jesus spin on it. For some reason I don’t think this version will be as successful as Mr. Kravitz’s.
Presenting “Samaritan Woman”……
(skip the first :30 if you don’t want to listen to the mini-sermon….lyrics are below in case you want to sing along)
Samaritan woman, get the way from Me, Samaritan woman, mama, I am He,
Won’tcha come and bang on My door, I sure wanna see your faith some more,
I got more important things to do, like spend My time goin’ bold with you,
Now woman, I said stay today. Samaritan woman, listen what I sa—–y.
Samaritan woman, get the way from Me,
Samaritan woman, mama, I am He,
Won’tcha come and knock on My door,
I sure wanna see your faith some more,
Water and Light can live inside,
A spark in someone else’s life,
Now woman, I said get the way,
Samaritan woman, listen what I say.
Samaritan woman, said get the way,
Samaritan woman, listen what I say,
Won’tcha come and bang on My door,
I sure wanna see your faith some more,
I don’t need your sore regime,
I don’t need your meddled means,
Water and Light can live inside,
A spark in someone else’s life,
Now woman, get the way from Me,
Samaritan woman, mama, I am He.
Go, gotta get the way, gotta get the way, now go, go, go,
I’m gonna need you, woman,
Gotta believe Truth, woman,
Why die, why die?
Why die, why die?
You’re so good for Me,
I’m so good for you,
Gonna look at you right in the eye,
Tell you what you gotta do,
You know you got belief,
You know you gotta know,
You know you got belief,
You know I’m gonna show, woman,
I’m gonna feed you, woman,
Good bye, Samaritan woman,
Good bye, Samaritan, switch.
This may not be the greatest song of all time and the audio isn’t that great, but there at least 2 things about this video that are really amazing….
1) Every instrument in this “band” is an iPad. Just one more reason I need an iPad…youth worship on Sunday nights would be awesome on iPads.
2) This is happening at a CHRISTIAN church conference. Since when are Christians on the cutting edge of music? Shouldn’t they be waiting a decade or so for this to catch on successfully in the mainstream first and then copy off of that??
Ah, Carman. What’s not to love?
Today we throw it back to a Carman classic: “Witch’s Invitation”
Because if there is something we can all connect to it’s receiving letters in the mail from warlocks. I guess if your friends with Charlie Sheen that might actually be pretty normal.
There is one significant problem with this video…..as we all know witches don’t use the post office. They use owls!!
