ive been trying to find out who sang this song for a couple of years, i seen these guys in london ontario with corb lund and they were awesome, go see hayes live great tunes great band! keep up the great work!
i was raised traveling with my parents doing missionary work. I am grown now with a family of my own. I have an eclectic taste in music and a sense of humor and this is my favorite song in the whole world. Besides anything that radiohead or true widow does you fuckers. anybody who doesnt appreciate this can go fuck themselves

This song is Great. I typicallty listen to rap and stuff like that but this song is Great. I plan on listening to more country now. This dude is going on my favorites list.
this is so ironic. my last name is Carll. but im Canadian. i was trying to look up my family crest then i saw his name. i was like wtf? then i did research and its fking creepy... hes good.
I think it has more to do with the fact that I'm an atheist. I usually don't relate to country music. I grew up in West Los Angeles and that's about as far from country as you can get. It may be the wild west, but definitely not country.
Yes, a lot of people believe that the new pop, as in Taylor Swift, version of country is the real country. I'm not a big country fan myself, living in NYC but my father is in love with it. This version seems not to get as much recognition as it deserves.
To me, all religions are fabrications, based on invisible spooky people with superpowers. You can believe what you want, it's a free country, just don't force that baloney on me or my kids.
Actually that was uncalled for. She said she liked the song. She wasn't trying to force her oppinion on anyone.
I'm an atheist and every time the Watch Tower People knock on my door I tell them I'm a Pastafarian and am a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. But sheesh, I don't have a problem with Christians if they're not forcing their religion down my throat.
@mastermalone I have a problem with Christians if they promote hate of gays or if they kill abortion doctors etc. It's not just the shoving down people's throats that I have a problem with. If their belief doesn't effect others then I wont have a problem and I wont go around criticizing them for believing unless they bring it up. If someone brings up religion though then I have no problem telling them I think they're delusional. BTW I have also been touched by FSM's noodley appendage. :)
@ABevs1 You're right. I have a problem with those things too. But when it's not violent I think it's kind of funny. Just today I was shopping and across the street from where the Oscars are being held I saw an anti-gay protest. They were holding signs saying "God Hates You", "Fag Oscars" and others against gay marriage and something about reading the bible. I was stopped only a short time so I didn't see them all. It was hateful and nasty, but I couldn't help but laugh.
@ABevs1 I think the "God Hates You" signs are the ones that struck me as funny because Christians claim to be so accepting. I wish I had had my camera.
@mastermalone They go to gay soldiers funerals and hold up signs that say "God Hates Fags". I find it disgusting not funny and I feel for the families that have to go through that on a day they're putting their son or daughter in the ground. American Christians are also responsible for going to Africa and spreading hate that has lead to an attempt to make homosexuality punishable by death. Hell, In Georgia the religious right wants to make miscarriages punishable by death...
@ABevs1 Once again you're right. And if I had been at a funeral and seen that I would have taken a much different tone. It's not funny, it's disgusting. But I think it was more to do with the fact that it was the Academy Awards. I think if you lived here, and seen Hollywood Blvd on a regular basis growing up, you'd see the humor in it too. It's a mishmosh. I'm sure you've seen your share of Christians handing out pamphlets.
@mastermalone But have you ever seen 2 or 3 completely separate groups of them doing across the street from each other? I have. I've even taken pamphlets from one group walked up the next group and told them I wouldn't take their pamphlet unless they were willing to trade. I've even was told by one of them that the pamphlet I was trying to give him wasn't what he believed in. Let's not forget that interspersed with these wackos are random people in costumes trying to get paid for pictures.
@mastermalone In this case it was funny because it was the academy awards. These bozos are holding signs up to limbos carrying celebrities as they go by. Like at that moment they a gave a damn about anything other than where they were going and making a good appearance. It was just funny.
@ABevs1 The assholes from the Westboro Baptist Church aren't harassing the families of gay soldiers, they are harassing the families of any soldiers at their son's or daughter's funeral. Their asinine reasoning is that the soldier is dead because the US "allows" homosexuality and since "God hates fags" He killed this soldier as a form of retribution on the US.
@ramus001 Yes I'm aware. They along with other right wing christian nutjobs also think that natural disasters and stuff are also god's punishment for our tolerance of homosexuality.
@JLorraineRocks I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but I'm in favor of bringing all of our troops home and I'm not really a fan of the president.
IronTeddyBear: I am sure she wanted you to live with her in a peaceful, righteous way and you continued to booze, cuss, perhaps beat on her and make her life a living hell. Had you both found Jesus, your home would be heaven.
Just brilliant. Can you blame someone for not wanting to live his whole life around a fictional character and a fairy tale? The point is, things were GREAT between us before she "found" Jesus, and started getting goofy and paranoid. For years I tried to believe, pretended to believe, just to make our home harmonious. Finally I just gave up. She's bought the fairy tale hook line and sinker.
Don't know if I am offended cause I am laughing too hard...raised as a Catholic, still pray each night, believe in where I'm going as a good person, but damn...he is hysterical!!!!!!

Jesus is not another image but someone who loves, gives, and sacrificed to his last breath and blood. I want to say that this is funny.. but I have a problem with the singer pouring his soul in writing this song, understand that even though it is a joke to us this is a something that came out raw from his heart. This song is going to desentize and eventually propogate that Jesus was just another and that there is no hope
I'm NOT saying that Hayes is the anti-Christ and influencal in a big way but I just want to bring out from a christian perpective that this song is treading on Jesus's Character. even though its not a big deal to you,it is to me.Peace,Love and Hope is all what Christ presented and we need that message especially today but it is being blurred by these little"jokes"not only Hayes but many,others.Prayers,Christian messages,Bible unallowed(not because of Hayes)but he makes it all seem unimportant.
dont be such a pussy bro, im pretty sure God can take a joke. Its a song about people who just take it waaaaaaaaaaaay to far.... so go drink some of the magic koolaid and build a waco styled compound.
you know Christ by what we reflect and yes it is true,we sumtimes dont live up to what we are to rep,we try but its hard many times we stumble and that memory seems to stick around.The ones who take it for real are the ones whose blood is spilled in thier humanitarian projects but the ones who create their own theories are far away from the truth.Jesus is just the simple message of Love & Hope, And i was a wuss,a human like you but truth made me stop running and see things simple.JeSuS lOveS YoU
steve, its pretty simple here... just a song. You give it power by preaching and witnessing to everyone on here and obviously letting it affect you. Its... just... a song! This song is for everyone who has ever had to listen to the endless jesus ranting of people like yourself. You all sound like robots...
And as for waco, stumble? Heck of a word to choose.. but you would do that as a "defender of the faith". Ill do you a favor and just call it the perfect example of simple minded extremism.
I am extreme because I know who Iam and What I stand for.I understand your viewpoint of how I shudnt be affected by this song and I agree.But you shud understand that we hear this everyday in schools,work everywhere in America!!. Im not an American Citizen but the places I have come from, persecution is a whole other level and I see America on that pathway.We already banned prayer and bibles in skool.we move on to Christian teaching on TV and Radio. It all began with mindset,it all ends in hurt.
I don't understand 2far. You seem open minded. I agree that God is bigger than this little video, but why can't s1r2 be offended by it? Is it ok with you? Are you threatened? I don't read any condemnation from from s1r2. He's not judging you. Perhaps your judging yourself??? I don't know...just a thought....
I wish you Fundamentalists would stop claiming that prayer is illegal in school. You are allowed to pray, and we're allowed to not pray. Some people don't want to pray and they shouldn't be forced to (even by peer pressure).
How would you feel if your teacher praying to Mecca a part of the daily routine? Or if she held seances every morning? If the public institutions advocate any religious belief over another, it's a slippery slope to Theocracy.

is this the same guy that sings that one song that goes "baby, i love you, but leave me the f**k alone"? rofl it sounds like the same guy.
and as for everyone getting their panties in a bunch over this song, all i have to say is this: those who are secure in their beliefs are the ones who are able to laugh at satire, and the fact that you feel the need to fight every single person who thinks differently than you, in order to prove yourself right, says something about you and your faith.
It is not insecurity is not the issue. It's a matter of respect. If I said that I wanted to kick your mothers' ass. It would upset you(that is if you care about your mother)because you love that person an snide remarks hit below the belt.
I'm like 90% sure that Hayes Carll doesn't actually want to kick Jesus' ass. It actually seems like he's pretending to be a dumbass who doesn't know who Jesus is and thinks he's some hippie hangin' round the drug store.
Hey Its a funny great song, He could have gotten away with it if he had said as Hay Suse, either way This guy is heading to David Alan Cole Fame with this. Thought this verision sounds better than the album -
this song is hilarious. it's not supposed to be taken seriously, it's a joke. if a girl has ever done this to you, have some sympathy man. it's hard competing with jesus.
wtf why is this bad in any way? it's funny, and not supposed to be serious; besides, is there really any harm in making fun of Christianity when we make fun of islamic people or jewish people? No, it's no different.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This isn't making fun of Christianity or Christians. It's making fun of God Almighty. Now, you might take that lightly, but there are some of us who don't.
Well - no, I don't think we are supposed to sympathize with the character singing in the first person in the song - he's supposed to be percieved as a moron - its his ignorance that is the source of humor, not the Nicene Creed.
lol relax ...god dunt give a damn if ppl take the piss if he did do u think he would have gave FREE WILL.surly the all knowing power of the universe would have seen this comming
Hey soldier, I totally agree. There's a club for people like us, it's called the Taliban. I mean we pretty much believe in the same God, and not having a sense of humour and misinterpreting scriptures are just a few of the fun activities we get up to. We're blowing up a car in a market in Islamabad this weekend - come along, you've got nothing to lose! (except all the good things the scriptures teach, but we think loving thy neighbour sounds totally gay)
If you're asking me, it was a response to cathead77's verbal excrement. Though it's hard to tell what's going on, YouTube's comment system is retarded.
Hilariously funny song---another Hayes Carll great! Love the satire he does from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't know who Jesus is "as he says, they must think that he's stupid or don't have a clue" and it "could have been Carlos, Billy or Ted"--brilliantly funny! Big fan of Hayes Carll!
I first heard this song on Don Imus' radio program on WFAN heading toward New York City on my way in to work. LMAO!!! They just might make a country girl out of me yet!
This song has me LOL! The fistfight between him and the Messiah would be interesting. Those who feel insulted by some of the lyrics, don't feel that way. Like one of the commenters says, it's from the viewpoint of some dumb as rocks bumpin-in-love. I love this song! Very clever!
The Itunes version is much more uptempo--instead of 6 minutes long, it comes in around 4. It sounds a lot better that way. Not sure why he'd post this particular video, the song drags and loses a lot of its' punch. Clever, funny song otherwise, though!
i think the whole song is supposed to be funny. kicking jesus's ass. giving up whiskey, drinking wine. calls out his name... given that jesus WAS a jew, i think it works. though i think jesus would be a socialist if given the option.
Yes, it is. But not for the reason you think I am sure. He is singing from the perspective of a very dumb country bumpkin. After all, the song is about a man who thinks his lady is leaving him for a man named "Jesus." Right there you should understand that this is parody.
I will now define parody for you, since you are dense.
Parody = " A composition that imitates somebody's style in a humorous way"
Get it? He is imitating a dumb guy. The thinking is done for you. Now relax.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Gee, many thanks for the edification. You're very kind to take the time. That said, I didn't/and don't find the song very funny. And not for the reason you think. His delivery is lacking -his imitation is not very good. He doesn't take it far enough. It's a weak parody. Get it?
Slow down Rivers Cuomo. I didnt say it was funny. I didnt defend his delivery or his sense of comedic parody. You seemed to be insulted by the word "Jew" and I didnt want it taken out of the context of a parody.
But come on now, your original problem with this lyric was not that it was "weak parody."
You had a knee jerk reaction to the word "jew" and since you think songs about sweaters are brilliant, you just didnt get it. It's ok. We are what we are.
You seem to read a lot into my initial comment. It is you that needs to slow down champ. But you're hellbent on showing us how smart and witty you are. You're enjoying yourself by punching holes in a p.c. strawman. I'm happy for you.
I asked if calling Jesus a Jew in the song was supposed to be funny. Nothing more.
According to the rules of internet arguments, it's now my turn for a witty retort. You are correct, I did misunderstand. But I argue that your original comment was begging for interpretation. Why? Because its five (5) words. Total. Next time explain yourself and these unfortunate little misunderstandings will not happen.
Now, if you will excuse me, I just smoked the very last of my weed and I have phone calls to make.
Yes, I live in Tennessee and I swear its an effort not to smash these blindly-faithfull people and their retarded music. Ask any musician, the dumbest adn easiest genere to sing and or play is COUNTRY, HICK HICK HOU! I'MA BANG ME A WHORE! I'M COUNTRY!
Jesus Fucking Christ, stop being such a whiny little titty baby. It's just a humorous, slightly irreverant country music song. And yes, I believe the lyric to which you referred is supposed to be funny. At least that's why I laughed when I heard it for the first time. But if this one isn't your cup of tea, give a listen to Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys' "They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore."
True. It's a shame people can't accept a different point of view on things... and worst, to value someone who treats them so dearly and not consider everything else. But oh well.
ive been trying to find out who sang this song for a couple of years, i seen these guys in london ontario with corb lund and they were awesome, go see hayes live great tunes great band! keep up the great work!

I'm NOT saying that Hayes is the anti-Christ and influencal in a big way but I just want to bring out from a christian perpective that this song is treading on Jesus's Character. even though its not a big deal to you,it is to me.Peace,Love and Hope is all what Christ presented and we need that message especially today but it is being blurred by these little"jokes"not only Hayes but many,others.Prayers,Christian messages,Bible unallowed(not because of Hayes)but he makes it all seem unimportant.

dont be such a pussy bro, im pretty sure God can take a joke. Its a song about people who just take it waaaaaaaaaaaay to far.... so go drink some of the magic koolaid and build a waco styled compound.

you know Christ by what we reflect and yes it is true,we sumtimes dont live up to what we are to rep,we try but its hard many times we stumble and that memory seems to stick around.The ones who take it for real are the ones whose blood is spilled in thier humanitarian projects but the ones who create their own theories are far away from the truth.Jesus is just the simple message of Love & Hope, And i was a wuss,a human like you but truth made me stop running and see things simple.JeSuS lOveS YoU
s1t2e3v4 3 years ago
steve, its pretty simple here... just a song. You give it power by preaching and witnessing to everyone on here and obviously letting it affect you. Its... just... a song! This song is for everyone who has ever had to listen to the endless jesus ranting of people like yourself. You all sound like robots...
And as for waco, stumble? Heck of a word to choose.. but you would do that as a "defender of the faith". Ill do you a favor and just call it the perfect example of simple minded extremism.
2far2drive 3 years ago
I am extreme because I know who Iam and What I stand for.I understand your viewpoint of how I shudnt be affected by this song and I agree.But you shud understand that we hear this everyday in schools,work everywhere in America!!. Im not an American Citizen but the places I have come from, persecution is a whole other level and I see America on that pathway.We already banned prayer and bibles in skool.we move on to Christian teaching on TV and Radio. It all began with mindset,it all ends in hurt.
s1t2e3v4 3 years ago
I don't understand 2far. You seem open minded. I agree that God is bigger than this little video, but why can't s1r2 be offended by it? Is it ok with you? Are you threatened? I don't read any condemnation from from s1r2. He's not judging you. Perhaps your judging yourself??? I don't know...just a thought....

I wish you Fundamentalists would stop claiming that prayer is illegal in school. You are allowed to pray, and we're allowed to not pray. Some people don't want to pray and they shouldn't be forced to (even by peer pressure).
How would you feel if your teacher praying to Mecca a part of the daily routine? Or if she held seances every morning? If the public institutions advocate any religious belief over another, it's a slippery slope to Theocracy.

is this the same guy that sings that one song that goes "baby, i love you, but leave me the f**k alone"? rofl it sounds like the same guy.
and as for everyone getting their panties in a bunch over this song, all i have to say is this: those who are secure in their beliefs are the ones who are able to laugh at satire, and the fact that you feel the need to fight every single person who thinks differently than you, in order to prove yourself right, says something about you and your faith.
DannyVandal 3 years ago
It is not insecurity is not the issue. It's a matter of respect. If I said that I wanted to kick your mothers' ass. It would upset you(that is if you care about your mother)because you love that person an snide remarks hit below the belt.
LisaLeeLee161 3 years ago
I'm like 90% sure that Hayes Carll doesn't actually want to kick Jesus' ass. It actually seems like he's pretending to be a dumbass who doesn't know who Jesus is and thinks he's some hippie hangin' round the drug store.
But maybe he did mean it literally.

This isn't making fun of Christianity or Christians. It's making fun of God Almighty. Now, you might take that lightly, but there are some of us who don't.

Well - no, I don't think we are supposed to sympathize with the character singing in the first person in the song - he's supposed to be percieved as a moron - its his ignorance that is the source of humor, not the Nicene Creed.

Hey soldier, I totally agree. There's a club for people like us, it's called the Taliban. I mean we pretty much believe in the same God, and not having a sense of humour and misinterpreting scriptures are just a few of the fun activities we get up to. We're blowing up a car in a market in Islamabad this weekend - come along, you've got nothing to lose! (except all the good things the scriptures teach, but we think loving thy neighbour sounds totally gay)

Hilariously funny song---another Hayes Carll great! Love the satire he does from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't know who Jesus is "as he says, they must think that he's stupid or don't have a clue" and it "could have been Carlos, Billy or Ted"--brilliantly funny! Big fan of Hayes Carll!

The song is funny. The studio cut is much better, but then you would expect it to be. Still it sounds good considering its live.
blinddrunkwillie 3 years ago
The Itunes version is much more uptempo--instead of 6 minutes long, it comes in around 4. It sounds a lot better that way. Not sure why he'd post this particular video, the song drags and loses a lot of its' punch. Clever, funny song otherwise, though!

weezer614 3 years ago
i think the whole song is supposed to be funny. kicking jesus's ass. giving up whiskey, drinking wine. calls out his name... given that jesus WAS a jew, i think it works. though i think jesus would be a socialist if given the option.
but i guess you'd have to ask hayes.
elyeager 3 years ago
Yes, it is. But not for the reason you think I am sure. He is singing from the perspective of a very dumb country bumpkin. After all, the song is about a man who thinks his lady is leaving him for a man named "Jesus." Right there you should understand that this is parody.
I will now define parody for you, since you are dense.
Parody = " A composition that imitates somebody's style in a humorous way"
Get it? He is imitating a dumb guy. The thinking is done for you. Now relax.

Gee, many thanks for the edification. You're very kind to take the time. That said, I didn't/and don't find the song very funny. And not for the reason you think. His delivery is lacking -his imitation is not very good. He doesn't take it far enough. It's a weak parody. Get it?
But really, thanks. I appreciate your indignancy.
weezer614 3 years ago
Slow down Rivers Cuomo. I didnt say it was funny. I didnt defend his delivery or his sense of comedic parody. You seemed to be insulted by the word "Jew" and I didnt want it taken out of the context of a parody.
But come on now, your original problem with this lyric was not that it was "weak parody."
You had a knee jerk reaction to the word "jew" and since you think songs about sweaters are brilliant, you just didnt get it. It's ok. We are what we are.
Get it?
SillyNelson77 3 years ago 2
You seem to read a lot into my initial comment. It is you that needs to slow down champ. But you're hellbent on showing us how smart and witty you are. You're enjoying yourself by punching holes in a p.c. strawman. I'm happy for you.
I asked if calling Jesus a Jew in the song was supposed to be funny. Nothing more.
weezer614 3 years ago
According to the rules of internet arguments, it's now my turn for a witty retort. You are correct, I did misunderstand. But I argue that your original comment was begging for interpretation. Why? Because its five (5) words. Total. Next time explain yourself and these unfortunate little misunderstandings will not happen.
Now, if you will excuse me, I just smoked the very last of my weed and I have phone calls to make.
Good day Mr. Cuomo

Jesus Fucking Christ, stop being such a whiny little titty baby. It's just a humorous, slightly irreverant country music song. And yes, I believe the lyric to which you referred is supposed to be funny. At least that's why I laughed when I heard it for the first time. But if this one isn't your cup of tea, give a listen to Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys' "They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore."
