Hi, contemplating a music mix.

Anyone got blasphemous music? Like, mocks God or takes religion and twists it? If you have anything of that sort, I'm very keen on it.

Examples:
Franz Ferdinand's "The Fallen" (lyrics) - Pretty much my favorite song right now. Centers around the idea that Jesus returns, but isn't exactly what the evangelicals expected. Fantastic and dark and makes

I've got Voltaire's "God Thinks" and XTC's "Dear God" (I also have a Sarah MacLachlan cover of this song) which are lovely and blasphemous. I'll upload them when I get home and look to see if I have any more.

I was just about to send "God Thinks" but since you have it covered, I won't! Great song!

Heeeey, I'm bored and want music. GIMME.

God Thinks

Dear God-- I gave you the Sarah MacLachlan version because the XTC is locked since I bought it from iTunes.

I third, fourth and fifth "God Thinks"- it's a great song and I'm sad I don't actually have it.

A Perfect Circle's cover of 'Imagine' is very creepy- you could use either John Lennon's version or this one, depending on what you're going for- if "imagine there's no heaven" is a hopeful or a hopeless idea.

Blasphemous Rumors: catchy, though a little repetitive.

Devil's Advocate, by DJ Shadow: only blasphemous to a certain crowd, but it's mocking a preacher and that has to count for something. Also, it's awesome.

Commies for Christ by the Doug Anthony All-Stars: is... odd.

Devil's Dance Floor, by Flogging Molly

Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones: a classic.

Hell, by the Squirrel Nut Zippers: my favorite peppy tune about burning in hellfire! :D

I have others, but those are some of my favorites. Er. Apparently I have a lot of cheerfully blasphemous music. I'm a godless sodomite, what can I say.

[lucia_tanaka]

Awesome! Thank you, am going to snag all of them! Yay for the godless sodomites!

I dream of Jesus - By The Dead Milkmen
