Jesus was probably celluloid.

[dieselducy]

I just bought a plastic Jesus on ebay.

[Aclarado]

brilliant satire

[NearbyPlovis]

Hey Mister Time Machine, what year did Cool Hand Luke come out? Hint: it came out after this song was written because Cool Hand Luke sings this song in it. Hint #2: it was well before 1972.

[TrippyTheShroom]

@NearbyPlovis I believe it was in the 60's. something like 68 if i remember right.

[MACHAWK123]

It's a gem

[Markdadawgcoach]

That is GREAT! I've loved Plastic Jesus ever since I heard Paul Neuman sing it in Cool Hand Luke. I would love to her an old original Bluegrass version.

I taped the livin' shit outta my Jeezus to the dashboard of muh kar....plastik jeezus

[jonklei1]

"Plastic Jesus" was written by Ed Rush and George Cromarty in 1957. They recorded it as a humorous ad spoof in 1962 as The Goldcoast Singers on World Pacific Records' Here They Are! The Goldcoast Singers'

The King Earl Boogie band was founded by Paul King and Colin Earl.

Ergo, while this is an old version, it is not the original. But it is good.

[Brandt761]

@jonklei1 I'm surprised there were even plastic miniartures in 1957. The material wasn't all that common, back then.

I've got MY plastic Jesus NAILED to the dashboard of my car.
