I spent a large chunk of yesterday with John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt stuck in my head. It was only dislodged by application of continuous repeat of the Final Fantasy theme song (DUH nuh nuh nuh NUH nuh nuh nuh). Today, seems like I have a song I have not heard in years stuck in my head. First sung by Paul Dinello, that genius of a comic actor from Exit 57, and later Strangers With Candy. Presented here in all its we-managed-to-rhyme-Jesus-with-prosthesis glory, is
Hail Mary, full of grace
Your boy kicked me in the face
He made my wife run away
for a big promise on Judgment Day
My wife called me a sinner
I guess I'll be fixing my own dinner
Now I'm left with pain and loathing
caused by a wolf in Messiah's clothing
My wife dumped me for a guy named Jesus
Now I see a cross and I fall to pieces
It hurts to say his dad's name when someone sneezes
My wife dumped me for a guy named Jesus
Do you think you're such a big shot raising people from the dead?
Or a sleight of hand with a loaf of bread?
You're a second-rate magician with everlasting life
whose latest trick is my disappearing wife
I'm as good as that guy named Jesus
I could cure a cripple with a prosthesis
And I can walk on water when it freezes
I'm as good as that guy named Jesus
And Jesus better watch his back...
