[539Firestorm]

Just Enjoy The Song :}  :] :)

[vannah21ILY]

i love this song!!! :)

[thenoahandfriends]

The artist is "Sky"? Wow, Youtube. You're dumb as fuck.

[MrStickeyFingaz420]

The lyrics are nice nothing like extraordinary but the instrumental is unrivaled i would love to hear more songs with a feel like this song has, its got excellent progression. And it definitely will always remind me of The Sandlot.

just my two sense

[tehcurbster]

@MrStickeyFingaz420 if you wanna hear more instrumentals like this with heavy bass and drum, look up blues music like eric clapton and johnny winter

[wtfisit25]

what great Transition music, definetly playing at my funeral.

All of a sudden, it's 1971 again! Back in 8th grade! :)

[FrankieJD93]

We play this song at my church ;)

[ColdAsIce3211]

I'm an Atheist but I really like this song

[SpitfireOFatj]

Anyone else find it funny that this song was a favorite with folks who dropped acid?

[g3ov4n12]

The sound is too low!

[HSECMAN]

am i the only one seeing the irony about this song? a practicing jew singing bout going to heaven and how he has a good relationship with jesus so he can get into heaven? or am i missing something? dont get me wrong-i dont care what his religion is. im just wondering if i missed something about him making this song? im not anti semite, so chill on that.

[erickandrewcarlson]

@HSECMAN Yeah, it's definitely ironic. As I understand it, most jews don't believe in heaven. Their faith is about doing god's work on earth. And they don't follow jesus either, of course. Churches using this song is the same as Reagan using "Born in the USA"

[dylans96]

kinda hate how its a religous song but whatever pretty good song

[kadburyk]

I wonder what kind of fuzz pedal was used;can anybody help?

[UctikUctemada]

coooooool! for giutar!

[SargentGirl]

This Was Played At My Grumpys Funeral, I Miss Him A Lot.

[belzebul]

The intro is soo B A D A S S but then the song itself is so weak :( Sorry...

[F4v0ur]

Just saw this onMy name is earl xD

[HaltonRailfan]

I dont believe in jesus but I love this song!

[wtfisit25]

@HaltonRailfan That don't make sense because this songs all about Jesus and Heaven.

[RussBP1981]

@HaltonRailfan Don't feel too bad. Norman doesn't believe in Jesus either.

[solisale]

this song is said to have been played at Hunter S. Thompson's funeral :')

[pimps1986]

This song has been in so many movies like "Remember The Titans." That's the only movie I know that has that song.

Anybody know what other movie this song was on?

[ickerHun]

@pimps1986

[redsoxfan1324]

i like to think of the lyrics to this song sarcastically

[patatepowa]

i hate how this song starts out psychedelic hendrix style and then becomes a happy campfire song....

Although the lyrics are so ridiculous and childish that they put in evidence the sillyness of religions

[Lankist]

@patatepowa It's not so childish when you realize Norm Greenbaum was Jewish, and that he wrote this song because he was fascinated with how incredibly optimistic and generally happy religious music tends to be.

You don't have to believe in Jesus to like a song about him.

[deadinapark]

@Lankist

definitely agree with you and norman greenbaum. also, the old hymns are very catchy and are musically inspiring for many song writers.

[MrSitar18]

@patatepowa stop being so negative.... according to like (dislike) bar this song rocks.

[sonickage]

very similar to la grange...or la grange is very similiar to this

[coltonwithano]

every time i get out of my car im going to have the first part of this song playing!

[Hoppermine]

This song rocks!

[TheAce035]

APOLLO 13

[relliott7]

If you deny me before men, I will deny you before God.

[95aquafire]

I'm playing this at my funeral

[armyof8plymales]

@95aquafire great choice

[pimps1986]

@95aquafire: Me too!

[pennelope90]

The solo at the beginning just rocks!!

[IPlayNfsMw]

@pennelope90 that ain't no solo thats the intro riff

[bronx2245]

Listening to this song every morning is the best anti-depressant you can take.

[grisham77]

@bronx2245 amen brother

[bromordra]

Basically the only song about jesus worth listening to.

[AshleyKaitlyn444]

Its from the movie Remember The Titans! I love that movie

[asmachkina]

I loved this song the moment it was released. Still excelent , I told my wife to play it when I die.

Keith Smith.

[jworcester92]

Finally! The actual record version!

[Jarzyniak]

@jworcester92

I had a problem with finding it as well. there is shitload of versions of that song you'd prefer not to listen to

[44xay]

Dr House, season 4, ep 9, at the end :)

[super520boy]

love the song was singing it all day in school

[cluny]

Song always put a smile on my face...only 'delic song I liked back then. Who gave me the Holy Joe comic ? Up With People didn't rock like this. Campus Crusader...run.

[TeamSixMetas]

18 people need to open their ears...

[Stevie2Sxc]

Religious content or not, this song is kick-ass. particularly the intro which can make anyone feel like a bad-ass if you slowly walk to it wearing sunglasses

[cernuous]

@Stevie2Sxc , Yeah, I'm the height of "bad ass" with my jeans pulled down while strutting my sidewalk stuff wearing my shades and boom box on my shoulder...... I'm the toast of the "Hood".

[123blueeyes]

@Stevie2Sxc GREAT WAY OF LOOKING AT IT!



[BustaNut456]

@Stevie2Sxc LOL so true. I love the instrumental, shit I love the whole song! It makes such a good beging for movies. Why can't my generation keep making hits like this?

[solidsnake4147]

@Stevie2Sxc Gol my aviators, leather jacket, jeans, slicked back hair, and cigarette right here. time to walk for approximately 30 seconds.

[kravanema]

This song has such a kick ass riff that if I could choose a song to slow-mo walk to, it'd be this one.

[JORNETJAGGER]

EMOS

[richie616799]

hahaha it's a fantastic song. The quasi-philosphical and religious debates really do crack me up. This song has been copied many times but this is it at it's purest, thank you for posting. Rich.

[lac9252]

For those who are true Christian’s, then you should believe what God said, "For those who have never sinned, cast the first stone". He also said, "Blessed are thou who have not seen, but still believe". God does not test us or our faith.

[Hennersy]

People claim that when the apocalypse happens, all the christians and christ believers will be taken away to heaven.... Does anyone see actually anything wrong, ill be free of the dickheads and then maybe mankind could build a stable planet without conflict due to bismerched & fundemental antics.

[jyo2379]

@InChrist4ever For hundreds of years people have seen the words of thte bible "coming true" and its obvious that the world didn't end then. Why would an all powerful God make bold accusations and not just say "The end of the world is on this day."? Just to test our "faith" in him? Well if so then that makes God kind of weird

[cseaavalosroger]

Happy Easter! Thumbs up if you came here in Jesus's name. Or you know. Just cause this song is better then any crap we have today.

[sKiUtAh16]

[TheChickennugget90]

[breed0328]

[MrBigben1221]

@sKiUtAh16 yeah when dumbass johnny set off the rocket

[dega723]

@sKiUtAh16 Well, as for myself, it reminds me "Jesus Camp" documentary (excellent) and "My name is Joe" movie (double excellent)

[Coshka77]

I don't believe in Jesus, but this song has a sick riff.



[dustysolddad]

@Coshka77 Jesus still believes in YOU!

[Coshka77]

@dustysolddad lmao I certainly hope he's not, or else he's a pretty bad god, all the sinnin' I do :)



[stratomaster289]

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

[zoobiemanyak]

[TheCooldood123]

[5688722a]

the intro of this song make me want to rob a bank or jump into mu cadillac an run fast

[Milhail]

see, fuck religions, they are all founded on lies and human misconceptions, but you dont have to be religious to enjoy GOOD MUSIC.

[MrRyinoyea]

@Milhail make me giggle some more

[Milhail]

@MrRyinoyea ........i cant think of anything intelligent at the moment, but, if i do, ill try to remember this

[Milhail]

@Milhail right in the ass bitch

[kellikel13]

[Milhail]

@MrRyinoyea know cares? nice fail faggot, if your gonna use english, the least you could do is learn to use it correctly

[joemama9182]

Its a music video. No need to have religious arguements. Just sit back,relax,and enjoy the music :D

[sonickage]

la grange and this have the same main riff it sounds

[wueroz]

I know there is a creator ...... call it what we call it...the universe and human beings could not have been by chance; its impossible .... I believe in God and Jesus Christ by logic ...... or what year we live in 2011 after who ...... (Jesus Christ)

[DaItalianFish]

@wueroz You don't know, you believe. It's impossible to know. Also, it's not logic to just guess "Well he must be real, just cause how else could stuff gotten here"

[MySpaceBarsBroken0o]

@wueroz It's not impossible for the universe and humans to have come into existance by chance, it's just improbable. The existance of an all powerfull entity/deity is just as improbable meaning both can be just as likely. Although I don't believe in a God or creator or some other deity I do believe that it is possible a person named Jesus existed. I believe that it is just as likely that a God exists as it is that he doesn't an I just leave it at that.

[jamspice11]

@MySpaceBarsBroken0o . it has been scientifically proven that there was a man named jesus christ who called himself the son of God and was crucified on a cross. believe what else you want.

[AriasValor3]

For the 3 minutes and 53 seconds this song lasts, I'm a believer.

[ladyleyetcompagnie]

@Krissii17 Yes you're right! Actually I heard it first in House M.D ... but then I forgot about the song and only remembered it two days ago while watching Supernatural. ^^

[Scankers]

17 people have no soul

[FantasticBlueGirl]

[ladyleyetcompagnie]

@angeltru95 You're welcome!

[fire24jordan]

SANDLOT!!

[banditdozeryogi]

When I got married (not married now) my fiance picked all the songs,flowers, on and on. We needed a religious song for the reception. This song was the only thing I asked for.

[JLiqour]

@bubby123ish How did he die? Was he ashamed of you or...?

[7777truman]

This song was playing when at a high school dance some one ran up to me and my friend and announced that my friends sister and several other teens had just been killed in a horrific train/auto accident.

[ryanwilliamnichols24]

@7777truman god bless you man

[ThePhoenix815]

@7777truman That'll teach them to listen to Norman Greenbaum at a train crossing!

[wwetributes897]

@7777truman Hmm...I'm gonna go listen to one of my favorite songs to brighten up my day...*reads comments* -.-.......:(

[KimIsIll]

One of the greatest songs ever!

[FMrk1017]

Gimme an Amen......

[ontariobuds]

@FMrk1017 AMEN!

[MsMelhorns]

I have cancer and before I found out I would tell everyone that I wanted this song played at my funeral, now I put it in my arrangements to diffently have this song played!

[HamsterFueledRocket]

I'm an atheist and I love this song! :D

[hihihippl]

@HamsterFueledRocket Did I ask?

[StonewallJackson26]

@HamsterFueledRocket Yea. i love it too. I am def not religious, but I don't mind people who are.

[darrenegan2k9]

@StonewallJackson26 agnostic :D

[HamsterFueledRocket]

@StonewallJackson26 Me neither, unless they're one of those "god hates fags" types.

[billyboy385]

@HamsterFueledRocket who gives a shit what you believe in?...

[HamsterFueledRocket]

@billyboy385 40 people so far asshole ;)

[billyboy385]

@HamsterFueledRocket the point is, whatever the religion it should not matter which you come from to know its a good song.

[HamsterFueledRocket]

@billyboy385 I agree and that was my original point silly. Even though I don't believe it literally, it doesn't ruin the song for me. You already agreed with me and you didn't even know it! :D

[billyboy385]

@HamsterFueledRocket i know but atheism could be considered a religion, anyway i don't feel like getting into it.

[HamsterFueledRocket]

@billyboy385 I don't either, I hate those arguments. They're pointless. On a lighter note, is your name a reference to Clockwork Orange? "Well, if it isn't fat, stinking billy goat Billy-boy in poison. How are thou, thou globby bottle of cheap, stinking chip-oil?" great scene!

[billyboy385]

@HamsterFueledRocket no its nothing to do with whatever that is, its a game username i came up with ages ago when i was young, i use a different one now but for some stuff like youtube its billyboy

[tj2214]

@HamsterFueledRocket it's nice to see this. i mean, i don't wanna point it out, but thanks for not bashing it or anything. :)

[Balli154]

@HamsterFueledRocket you are a dickface... :)

[HamsterFueledRocket]

@Balli154 That's very christian of you.

[roberttateyancey]

@HamsterFueledRocket Sorry man being an atheist you will not be with the spirit in the sky you will be tourtred in HELL FOREVER .. All you have to do is look around and know jesus christ loves you just the way you are .... and I Tate love you brother you can hate me but i will still love you !!! god bless

[HamsterFueledRocket]

@roberttateyancey Your threats of hellfire don't scare me, as I know you have absolutely zero evidence to support it's existence. You might be scared of childish fantasy tales from bronze age texts, but I am not. I don't hate you or anyone, I just I hate when you push this silliness on others.

[InChrist4ever]

@HamsterFueledRocket Sir, Hell exists because God says it does. And there is plenty of evidence that God exists. Walk outside on a starry night and look up at the sky. There are also many things that have been prophesied in the Bible that are coming true. Unfortunately, though, you probably won't take the time to actually READ the Bible to discover that I am, in fact, correct. Instead, you will continue to remain ignorant. I do hope you see the truth, sir. God bless.
