Tom Lehrer - The Vatican Rag

I love it -- even on the freakin' Vatican Rag YouTube video: serious religion discussions.

So find religion,
(It's ''the most'').
Invoke The Father, Son.
(And Holy Ghost).

Raise your glass
and make a toast,
Doin' the Vatican Rag!

You where right, some Venacular was permitted in the use of the Mass, but not totally like we see today.

I can sing and play keys! I don't in my vid's, cuz its mostly songs I was learning at the time. (most of which I gave up on) But I'd learned a few melodies when I was 6-13 living across from a church and my ister having a keyboard, didn't play again untill I wanted a youtube account. 8)
Going to learn Eine Kleine Nacht Musik (which I have a print of the original sheet for on a tee shirt 8) and make a vid doing Roy Zimmerman's - Eine Kleine Barrack Musik.

Not transform; that is precisely the opposite of what the Church teaches. The form remains identical. It is the substance that changes. Hence the term "transubstatiate".

love it!

Try playing the piano that perfectly and singing in syncopation at the same time. It is very, very dificult to do, and Leher makes it seems effortless.

DotComEditor, this is true. Tom Lehrer has said that when he's at the piano "it's automatic", but of course he started playing the piano at the age of 7 or 8 years old. And I guess he is still playing from time to time...

Nope. You get a cracker. There's no guarantee which bit of Jesus you get once transubstantiation occurs..
