On music

Nov 01, 2005 23:37

I felt the need to finish writing this and share it. Given that I am the author, I reserve the right to make much needed alterations later that you won't know about until you're flipping through the tv channels and the remote breaks when you hit the evangelism channel and this is on in the background. Or I tell you. Which ever comes first. But on with it, says I (this I guy, he's real pushy. I'm gonna go ahead and do what he says. He's handling something in his pocket in an intimidating way (or disgusting, regardless I want him to stop (it's really creepy)) so I'm going to get along with it (as previously stated)). It may possibly on the Bottom 100 List of Gospel Songs (tm), but a version I had in my head over the summer was definitely Top 5 material. Oh well. It's called: "The Bus of the Lord" by me, David. David Vanpelt (yeah, I typed my name. Rights protection bitches!)

I was walkin’ down the street the other day when I heard this heathen say:
“I hate the everlastin’, holy Lord!”
“I hate His works and I hate His church!” Right there I kneeled and prayed for the turk
To turn a’towards the goodest grace of God
Just then he took a step off the curb and God sent to him what he deserved;
Yes, he got hit by the Bus of the Lord (of the Lord)
Hit by the Bus of the Lord (the Lord)

The asphalt was all smeared with red and I knew that blasphemer was dead
Gone to have a talk with the great I AM
I prayed to be cleansed of all my sin then hopped up and yelled “AMEN!”
“Hallelu to the Father and the Ghost!”
I stepped aboard that bus without a word because I knew that I was reassured
I took a ride on the Bus of the Lord (Bus of the Lord)
Yeah, rode on the Bus of the Lord (of the Lord)

Now people doncha hear what I say? Only one way for you to be saved
I hope you have enough for the fare
With Jesus sittin’ behind the wheel, buddy you can bet that I am still
On the road to bliss eternally
Baptized with the motor oil, Satan’s plans we soon will foil
(Now slow it down)…

Spoken: Brothers and Sisters, come with me
Let Jesus Christ set you free
Keep you from the temptations of Beelzebub (oh no)
Get on the bus where brakes don’t squeal
Hope you like bread, ‘cause there’s a in-transit meal
The body and blood, here’s the real deal
Ya gotta get on the bus (come)
I say get on the bus (with)
Ya gotta get ON (me) hear me, (music kicks up)
Take a ride on the Bus of the Lord
Don’t get hit by the Bus of the Lord
Hitch a ride on the Bus of the Lord
Everyone riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidde
The Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssss
Of the LLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!

Yeah, that's about it. I would mow varous lawns for 3-6 hours straight, so I had plenty of time to come up with stupid shit like that, but I like it best. It sounds freaking hilarious in my head with a bunch of large black women singing background in a church and the honkey-tonk guitar and organ playng under it. Trust me, it'll be big. Seriously (For Real(yeah (sure))).

So while we're on music (it's funny because the subject says the same thing), I get no radio reception in my room without aerobic activity. Needless to say, I listen to a lot of cd's now. I've even gone so far as buying some new cd's. Through this, my roommate has determined that I only listen to cool music. (Which is true.) I don't like country, rap, rock (all forms), pop, techno (all forms), oldies, R&B, classical, or whatever other genres may appeal to you. I like music. Period (as if the punctuation didn't make it clear enough). I don't even like bands (with very, very very, few exceptions), I like songs. I don't know the names of half the songs I like, even fewer of the bands performing the songs. That's just how I do/roll.
That in mind, here are the bands that are currently spending a lot of time in my cd player: Rolling Stones, REM, and the Postal Service. That's just a current list. It changes all the time. No point to this paragraph. Moving on.

On a completely seperate note (because we are nearing the end of this travesty to the English language and I just want to wrap this up), I want something to keep the entries together. A unifying portion of each entry that, though seperate, they all stand together under the this one connector. But it needs to be something simple. And I don't want to think right now. So I leave it to the viewing public (all 3 of you) to tell me what it should be. Something simple and cliched like a song quote or a Question of the Period of Time That This Entry Stays Up (QOTPOTTTESU for short), or something a bit more interesting. If your ideas suck, I'll figure something else out and shake my head at your lack of good ideas (it would be pathetic).

so yeah....

I'm done.
