SONGS OF PRAISE (WITH SUBTITLES)

[MsSoundguy]

I always send this to the people singing in my choruses as a suggestion to watch their enunciation. Works every time.

[USSHomestarRunner]

we watched this in my RS class...

[0800Batmobile]

"Arse! The Joy of Left Hand Love" had me in hysterics.

[Redhotfoos]

sutin

[deracufa]

This has a profound meaning.

[RetroGamerVX]

Lol, that actually sounds like what they are singing!! ;o)

[TheIqoniq]

Classic :D

[wickedfeylady]

That really was a poor corn salad. I am sorry I ever took that bribe. 

[MrKro0oz]

pareidolia

[samcarr6]

Genesis 38:9-10

But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death also.

[FSXgeeek]

HOW THE FUCK DID I GET HERE AFTER WATCHING STUFF ABOUT PLANES?

[samcarr6]

@FSXgeeek planes - terrorism - religion- christianity- songs of praise

[FSXgeeek]

oh eye:D

[BENSTER489]

keep pressing 0:37 and watch everyone shouting arse ;)

[EvilFingerTeacher]

LOL

There's really no hope of tryng to make out what it is with the words there at the bottom. 

[FilterCup]

Love this lol

[Reiimuu]

the humor is lost somewhat given most of the time i can tell what they're actually singing...

but it made me laugh anyways XD

[gundum1o1]

Americans & they're hormones ,I dont care what anyone says ,they are the most influential of the bunch ,blatantly justifying immorality as if being christian is so hard ,no its not ,stop making excuses =\

[lolahalusz]

watch?v=NFnzyva5crM if you loe that, you will love this!

[azurestorm100]

MrRdt1970. Any Minister of religion who commits the crimes of which you speak,is a sinner and should not claim to be a Christian as they obviously are no.because they are breaking God's first commandment to love one-another and to do good to all mankind.God can forgive them if they repent and are truly sorry.You are obviously very hurt and are suffering from bitterness.Try to seek help . Lily.

[MrSyrett]

Oh yeah. Those bits of stones are pointing up - because "up" is where Jesus lives! But its also worth remembering that he only lives "up" from the UK's latitude. "Up" in the Arctic is an entirely different place.....so presumably different god

[huixera]

really interesting

[azurestorm100]

MrRdt1970. You poor pathetic apology for a human being.Yes you are sick,but have an even sicker soul.I only hope that God will have mercy upon you. I do know that the love of Christ,is all forgiving and encompassing.Seek it!!! Lily

[Belphegor82]

@azurestorm100 Don't pay attention to him, he's a troll - YouTube's full of them. Every video should come with a "Don't feed the trolls" reminder :o)

Incidentally, great video, I love mondegreens :D

[crank01]

hahahahahaha....so good

[ProfessorFatts]

haha, poo on him...

[01275847931]

You are one very sick man!

[hardtoesxplain]

i love songs of praise i watch it religiously!

[Carysb04]

better than the original!

[Micky33430]

How dare you speak this way of the only hope you have.You have cursed yourself. May Jesus forgive you and may you be convicted by the Spirit of God to repentence, Do not speak as such from very shallow knowledge of Jesus and the Holy Spirit dear and do not be so ignorant for your own sake.

[resonance2001]

But... I thought that's what they are saying......... Then again, I do have lots of ear-wax. I make candles and everything.

[EvilStreaks]

As a Christian I enter a state of unbreakable panic when I forgot which way God is. I kick off to the council every time there isn't a tower to remind me. :D

[Paulc2011]

I'm sorry that's not even funny some people can't take a silly joke that's a good hymn which you have edited to say those words

[ints13]

PIE FOR MAUREEN

[HenryLeeds]

This is probably making some quite serious point about how what we see trumps what we hear. And as a serious singer, it's a terrible warning that just opening my mouth and enunciating clearly isn't enough. Does anybody know what words they were meant to be singing?

[channelschmannel1]

@HenryLeeds To answer your question, the text is John Mason Neal's 1851 translation of a 7th century Latin hymn: 1 Blessed city, heavenly Salem, Vision dear of peace and love, Who of living stones upbuilded Art the joy of heaven above, And, with angel cohorts circled, As a bride to earth dost move! 2 From celestial realms descending, Bridal glory round her shed, Meet for Him whose love espoused her, To her Lord shall she be led; All her streets and all her bulwarks Of pure gold are fashionèd.

[channelschmannel1]

@HenryLeeds Just to be clear, this is probably my favorite 2 minutes on all YouTube, Adam Buxton is brilliant.

[SeiferOptics]

LMFAO

[craggs1]

hmm... what kind of pie?

[chrisleeds91]

How is this funny in any way ? Im atheist btw.

[macdaddymtb]

Play "RAINING BLOOD"

[wishceska]

"Pie for Maureen, round her shed" rendered me helpless for a good ten minutes.

[fuzzface100]

Adam Buxton is my holy saviour.

[SofiesNotSober]

Spelt Esspresso's wrong.. but then again I think I did too..

[pobembe1958]

What a terrible way to Violate something Christians hold dear and precious...not amused



[GeneralNutcase]

@pobembe1958 You mad? religious fanatic! THATS WHAT YOU ARE! most Christians in my time have a sense of humor unlike you

[nintendolad]

@pobembe1958 Oh grow up. This is a joke. Religion isn't everything.

[MisterScientist]

@pobembe1958

It's not really though is it? I mean, it's a video with some subtitles.

[tonyaltn]

@pobembe1958 Christianity: The beliefe that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Makes perfect sense.

[DontHateShanaynay]

@pobembe1958 Not amused? Then go awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[MrEdfed]

@pobembe1958 Some people really don't have a sense of humour

[GHOSTxTROOPER]

@bass109 The flying spaghetti monster is the truth in the universe , THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH, he created all of us and he controls the universe with his noodliness LONG LIVE THE FSM

[tamething1]

@GHOSTxTROOPER Yeah! Any idiot knows that Sam Harris Parrots who parrot Other Sam Harris Parrots are the true intellects of the universe!

[farrog]

Buxton, you brilliant feckin' little idiot xx

[watupijm]

Go to hell

[jesusnickgod]

this is sooo epic gay, why dont u just listen to muse, as we all know god obviously isnt real so yeh, muse ftw. this is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[loonpond]

This is St. Edmundsbury cathedral, when they dedicated their new tower?

[ursie1986]

I hate god and i loved this, ergo Adam Buxton = satanist

[ellie050394]

I actually can't figure out what they're saying, lmfao!!

[ellie050394]

@rauschquint

LOL

[ionatalina]

Hahahahaha..:)))

[ponybcurtis]

This is side-splitting!! Funny stuff!!

[silentbob82]

Pie for Maureen, round her shed :D

Genius

[vikingraider1]

You shall all be smitten by the left hand of God. Just after he's cleared up the dead sheep and finished his espresso with Maureen.

[basstard013]

Praise the Lord! Feel the left hand love of Jesus!

[BeckaCamaro]

LMBO



[meakymeaky]

My husband and I have similar conversations. This is so funny.

[thearcticwombats]

this is well gay

[lollyclan]

thank you for a terrific belly laugh - this should be used in parliament to put them in a better frame of  mind. I laughed till I was almost sick.

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

those pillars at the beginning looked more as if they were giving God the finger

[Nevemillie]

OMG WHAAAAAAAAAT:')

[SerenityNoww]

Here's what i'd like to see:

Next time one of these churches has this hymn in its service, have the choir and one side of the church singing the normal lyrics, but give the other side of the church these lyrics to sing, and record the reaction.

[Inigmma]

Brilliant!!!!!

[imsparta37]

oh my god.. I think the person who made this is,,,um,, Idon't know he's bad for me

[poodle2426]

OMG THIS DUBSTEP IS SIIIICK. DURRRTY DROP!

[henrytdsimmons]

Sir, i salute you!

[bass109]

keep the faith always even till the end! Long live Jesus christ!

[retepvosnul]

@bass109 Living long could be a problem for a character that probably never existed in the first place.

[bass109]

@retepvosnul believe that Jesus christ exists and loves you. That is truth of universe. Hold to testimony of Jesus

[retepvosnul]

@bass109 That would be a silly thing to do.

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

@bass109 No

[13robinmenzies]

Mockery!!!

[pianomags]

o m G!!

How much do I love this?

Let me count the ways...

lolol

[steampunsniper]

wtf



[bertydastard]

Watching from 1:00 with the sound turned off is even better...

[irkibby]

Watched for the umpteenth time. laughed so very hard.

[TheWingnuterer]

this is great, have to watch it again, LOL

[Mackeson3]

We freakings of orry and tar!

[Scotsbell]

Yup, this Christian finds it funny too. Who can remember "when shepherds washed their frocks by night"??

[OBMB]

I love Bin Laden!

[Papageno777]

Yes but there is also humour in some real hymn wordings...such as one I discovered years ago doing a course on Church Music - rather turn of the 19-20th century English the way it was sung went something like this... picture the elder-ladies singing this one...if yu will:

OH FOR A MAN...

OH FOR A MAN....

OH FOR A MAN-SION IN THE SKY!

Thanks for sharing

[rachm1991]

LOL at the words! I didn't notice it until I actually played it xD Being Christian, I find this humorous too anyway!

[rachm1991]

Finally, found this song too.

[studlydoright111]

This is absolutely hilarious!!! Someone get me a copy of that hymnal! "Say Amen, somebody"!

[bliefting]

In his book 'Anguished English' Richard Lederer tells about a hymn he heard as a child. It contained the phrase "gladly the cross I'd bear", but he interpreted it as "Gladly, the cross-eyed bear"

[ElveeKaye]

The sight of those old ladies singing "All our strings and all our balls" had me laughing my arse off! Well done, Adam, you never fail to make me smile!

[823musiclover2]

hahaha

[elwynlear]

Crabs decending.......amen

[LulaAsphalt]

bury st edmunds! praise buxton, praise jesus, praise be!

[Maestro2500]

This is why they need to create an emoticon that is simulating the action of raising one eyebrow.

[monofrog1]

what a fucking waste of a program. Who likes this disrespectful shitty crap....not me i say. Religion is just BOLLOKS hahahahahahaha God is a tramp and he DOES NOT EXIST Mwahahahaha!

[tedduncumbe]

Genius.

[TaffyAlpha]

Blessed city, heavenly Salem, vision dear of peace and love, who of living stones art builded in the height of heaven above, and, with angel hosts encircled, as a bride dost earthward move; from celestial realms descending, bridal glory round thee shed, meet for him whose love espoused thee, to thy Lord shalt thou be led; all thy streets and all thy bulwarks of pure gold are fashioned.

[cornflowerblueful]

@TaffyAlpha now that makes more sense in a praise and worship sense. But you can understand how hard it must be if you can't clearly hear what's being sung and can't read :(

[jfluter]

@TaffyAlpha funny that if I read the words, I hear them much better in this clip than if I was just listening to it. I just posted this to a woman's chorus I sing with...too funny. :)

[99ttrance]

Dont get the 129 dislikes i mean whats not to like and dont they know what the off button is !!!!!!!!!!!

[MsSoundguy]

Fripping brilliant.

[jazzsingerlady]

Ah, The joy of left hand love...

[dan951995]

Frigging shut up it's been sunny for god sake it u'll rain next

[Singingjacobus]

It's most applicable to church musicians the like, not only with consonants, but with vowels too: "Drawn by thee areseholes perspiring..."

[emilewyn]

hilarious! thank you!!!!!

[dan951995]

WOOF LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ISEN'T THAT A STUPID THING TO SING IN CHURCH COME ON IT'S LIKE ME SINGING UPTY DUMTY FOR CRYING OUT LOAD

[TomTheConductor]

@dan951995 dan, i think the idea is more that there are no consonants, and hence this leads to ambiguity in what they're saying. This gives rise to a clever trick of your eyes telling your ears what to hear. As you're provided with the words, your brain's expecting to hear them ,and thus they do hear them.

If you grab a hymn book and listen to this hymn whilst reading this, you'll see that they are actually singing the hymn correctly, it's just the subtitles make you hear something different.

[RGSMANIA]

@TomTheConductor spot on, this is called pareidolia and its a very cool phenomenon. google pareidolia theres some really cool stuff about it

[TomTheConductor]

@RGSMANIA Thank you.

I apologise, I can never remember the world Paredidolia.

Thank you for your kind comment.

[Singingjacobus]

@dan951995 Well,...yes!

[irkibby]

Did anyone else think that the second verse might actually be the actual , serious words, until the word "crabs" and then pissed themselves laughing (again)

[lollyclan]

@irkibby Yes! never laughed so much in my life...absolutely hilarious.

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

This is how I heard these hymns as a child -- more or less.

[DeathByViolin79]

The last time out congregation sang "Lead on O King Eternal' I swore it sounded like "Lead on O Kinky Turtle" Hahaha Annunciation really suffers when large, untrained groups sing!! BTW, I'm a Christian and I find this hilarious!!

[Singingjacobus]

@DeathByViolin79 HAHAHAAAA!!!! The best I had heard was a choirmaster emeritus, saying "Who is Ho-Lee?"

[ugforthewin]

@DeathByViolin79 "Lead on O Kinky Turtle"?! That's almost as funny as the video! *insert LOL here*

[irishmaestro]

Honestly, why can't people just get a sense of bloody humour? And anyway, this thing is actually making fun of massed choirs rather than of God himself. Ffs, God is the creator of everything, including humour - it's not a sin to laugh, you know! >.<

[hardlinedj]

I'm a Christian and I think this is hilarious!! Of course God has a sense of humour! Me and my God have amazing banter :)

[legolasegb]

huh? It's making fun of the way it sounds, not God.

Come on! When I sing, "Hold me closer Tony Danza" I'm not ridiculing either Elton John or petite dancers or even Tony Danza. I'm making fun of the way it sounds.

[davidnash41]

As I said before, you have a perfect right to post what you wish as I have a right to pass comment.

I dont think this video is anything to do with a sense of humour. Does God have a sense of humour? I have no idea. However, what makes me uneasy is that you trying to send up Almighty God creator of our universe, for basically, a cheap laugh. That is what this all about. A cheap laugh.

[MezzoCanto]

@davidnash41 come on. Of course God has a a sense of humour. When God created Mankind, She was joking all the wa., She made you, didn't She?? What a swell thing to do. By the way: This has nothing to do with God, but with people making fun of badly pronounced language. Get a life, get a smile, lighten up, be a joy to your Creator.

[AlexPiti5]

@davidnash41 the laugh I had was priceless, not cheap.

[davidnash41]

As a Christian I dont find this amusing, but you have the right to do it. It is making fun of Almighty God and the older I get the more reverence I give Him.

[petehasplans]

@davidnash41 Your god has no sense of humor? Or perhaps you don't and therefore your god can't because he's just like you.

[sungmoon1987]

@davidnash41 i agree with you! i felt shocked when i heard this. i dont understand the point of this video.

[fatmoley]

Thanks - absolutely priceless. Best laugh for a while..... Words are - believe it or not: Blessed city, heavenly Salem, vision dear of peace and love, who of living stones art builded in the height of heaven above, and, with angel hosts encircled, as a bride dost earthward move; from celestial realms descending, bridal glory round thee shed, meet for him whose love espoused thee, to thy Lord shalt thou be led; all thy streets and all thy bulwarks of pure gold are fashioned.

[Sharoney]

I must say as a former believer I enjoyed this clip as much for the sheer majesty of its architecture and music as its silliness.

And all of you with no sense of humor can just ____ ____.

[seifert14]

@killercrabman I agree. Faith is not in seeing, but in believing. You can't prove things to people who don't want to listen. Jesus met with the same skepticism and doubt. I am secure in my faith. That is all I need.

[loner1878]

124 people sing gibberish in church

[MrMusicman1192]

ahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha­haahh

[mwlake]

all choir Moms will lolrof with tears coming down our eyes

[seifert14]

well thank you terracottapie for confirming the truth. Yes, it was written about in the Bible, which is the inspired word of God, and full of yes! real live people, of which Jesus was one. I don't need to argue with you...my faith is sure and secure. I'm sorry that you don't have the great hope I do, and the assurance of a wonderful life beyond this one, free from the atheists and skeptics of the day.

[seifert14]

of course Jesus existed! 500 people witnessed His resurrection from the dead. It's written history. I suppose you can say what you want, but it was recorded.

[terracottapie]

@seifert14

No, no one witnessed his resurrection. The only writing of this is in the Bible which is filled with hundreds of inaccuracies. Jesus isn't even mentioned in any literature outside the Bible until 50 years after he was supposed to have died, and accounts of his resurrection didn't appear till way after that.

You would think that word would get around the area about the magic guy who crawled out of a cave after being dead, but no one wrote anything about it except in the Bible.

[killercrabman]

@seifert14 unless you met the guy you can not say ''of course jesus existed'' so why dont you belive in islam as there were lots of witnesses for those events also.. do you belive in ufo's as many people have ''witnessed'' them.. THATS WHY ITS CALLED FAITH!!! it isnt provable either way.

[0xxSparkzofHopexx0]

XD *can't breathe from laughing so hard*

[Progrotube]

Has anyone noticed how frequently this hymn has been used during the Pope's recent visit?

[mornmeril]

@Progrotube Did he descend from celestial crabs?

[asterisk1noel]

anong ginagawa ni richard gere sa praising song na to?

[seifert14]

Hey, I'm a Preacher's wife and this brought me to tears. It's simply showing how misunderstood the words can sound in a big congregation, and I am still laughing. Lighten up people, even Jesus had a sense of humour!

[terracottapie]

@seifert14 No, Jesus didn't have a sense of humor because he didn't exist. But this is hilarious!

[legoackbar]

@seifert14 I go to a Christian School, a great Church and I watched this four times over.

[rloken]

@seifert14 You're great :) I thought it might be blasfemic to many but thanks for your comment :)

[TheWordOfBod]

@seifert14 as is evident in his biggest prank - the Christian religion...

[DeathByViolin79]

This is the funniest thing I've ever heard! ... And yes, I am a Christian. I still laugh like a fool every time I hear it!!!

[randomdave30]

Very high-church this. Not a song of praise but an oppressive dirge.

[sophelet]

@randomdave30 I doesn't have to be an oppressive dirge. The slow tempo here is appropriate for the highly resonant acoustic, but in a smaller and/or less reverberant space I would pick up the pace. Then you can really enjoy the dance-like quality this melody can have, particularly when all of the "long-short" repeating rhythms suddenly switch to "short-long." Yes, it's high-church. But that doesn't make it gloomy!

[therealrodhull]

Wooo! Over the million!

[curonevans]

I hope the guy from 1:35 onwards on the far left is playing the organ.

[kiltlvr]

This is absolutely brilliant! I have sung in choirs for years and know that people do NOT always correctly hear what's being sung. Thank you for sharing this. I had a great laugh.

[Phimmmm]

This had me crying with laughter!

[mummraaa]

Quit all your arguing! The video is funny, to comment on religion go elsewhere!

[randomdave30]

Blessed city, heavenly Salem, vision dear of peace and love, who of living stones art builded in the height of heaven above, and, with angel hosts encircled, as a bride dost earthward move; from celestial realms descending, bridal glory round thee shed, meet for him whose love espoused thee, to thy Lord shalt thou be led; all thy streets and all thy bulwarks of pure gold are fashioned.
