1 PERSON DIDN'T GET TO BUY A SATELLITE

[mcfreder]

i'm a moroccan and this song reminds of the 90's memories, i luv it <3

[gonolz]

for some reason, this song makes me think of Rick Santorum.

[SlaaneshTheChaosGod]

I didn't know this song was religous 'till i read the lyyrics.

[SocialAesthetics]

those thieving televangelist bastards my they all burn in hel



[AVINDALI]

jump in the river and learn to swim...TBN's Judgement Day will come,,,,,,

[Poopingbotham]

Only No. 61 in the Hot 100? It was a big, top 20 hit here in the UK & on the radio all the time

[suburbansoftrocker]

Hey.

[andziks]

for those who misunderstood, song meaning is like show how dumb is the TV entertainment industry(including live tv fake evangelists, fake emotions, fake everything) TV is not the real thing, real life, it's a bloody cheap FAKE made by greedy basterds to fool you and ruin your life by making you sit and watch some crap in the box instead you should be living your own life, real life. nowadays it's gone way too far and we must stand strong and fight for minds of our children and our own minds.

The Hooters played @ the Stone Pony in Asbury Park one April six weekend in the nineties, and rocked the place like Bruce Springsteen. Love this song.

The Hooters played at the Stone Pony on April 6 of some year in the eighties and rocked the place like Springsteen. Love the song, and laugh at the politico.

[RaunchyRocker]

Great song shame about the sound quality

[Bntnredsox]

i love this song... the memories...

[longbendy81]

Did really well in the UK (top 20 i think)

Then 80% of US citizens believe Bible is literal truth compared with 4% UK (also 8x more agnostics and atheists in UK pro rata)

in the late 80's and early 90's anti evangelist tunes did really well here. Phil Collins (of all people),Black Grape,XTC,Pink Floyd....

What a great song. 23 years old now so it will be a hologram they will use to fool the masses. what great lyrics.

The subject matter of this song deals with insincere televangelists. Peopl who use T.V. to spread the word of God while stealing money form the likes of the elderly, those people on a fixed income, or the kindhearted gulible souls who believe they're money wil be used by the "snake oil salesmen" and saleswomen to enlighten people and gelp the needy.

Don't mean to be an idiot but what is the meaning behind this song and why was it written.

[emma2121212121]

this is my faverite song of all time- makes me want to do a little irish jig!!

tbh I'm suprised this song isn't more well known- but I guess I'm a bit biased as I grew up dancing to this:)

[argolmawr]

[John6yt]

The sad thing is this parody of shows on stations like TBN isn't far off the mark. They do (or did) really look like that, right down to the over-the-top enthusiastic audience and the fake smiling.

[TrejosEd]

Brilliant, sharp, awesome, what a classic!

I can`t believe this has been TWO YEARS on YOUTUBE and still, no comm, no rating---

Thanx clotho98
