I remember the first time I saw this movie in the theater (back in the 70's). When it got to this part, even before they were finished singing, everyone in the theater was laughing hysterically because it was so obvious what the last line was going to be (even if you hadn't seen the movie already).
I saw the re-release of this movie in 1981. Sometime later, I saw the TV broadcast. I liked how the TV version handled this scene. Usually, when they censor a movie on TV, they'll do things like substituting totally stupid words for the offending ones. When they showed this scene on TV, the organist hit a sour note at the end of the verse! Just as funny!
@A1l2l2e2n4 I don't know why I remember this but I watched the TV broadcast too - it was on CBS. It WAS hilarious because you knew what they were going to sing and that it couldn't played on TV, great solution.
I didn't realize it was rereleased - any other changes from the original?
Its funny because you would not hear that in a real church. lmao

How they do not laugh as they sing, I really wonder coz if I were part of the cast, I would have laughed at every take. Brilliant comedy.

@pello777 Usually they rehearse the heck out of it to make it less funny.
But all it may take is one person to crack up, and like you, I would be peeing my pants laughing.
