Speaking as a true atheist, I have to say that this is a very cool song! You can just feel the '70s oozing out of the song :)

@28starchild - I know!! Me too !!

My brother and I had the 45 in the early 70's. We played it until it, literally, didn't play anymore! It's so nice to hear it again.

Darn it. I cannot help it. You get some crushed tomatos... the cheapest Safeway brand is the best IMO, not the expensive stuff. Use lots of fresh basil if it is good. If not, use good dried basal. Add tomato paste to thicken. Garlic, pizza seasoning.  Any cheese. The batter? Next day you add more flour, takes 10 minutes to knead, let rise, roll out... great way to make eggs too! All Good is Simple.

I Created a NEW 2012 film of This Song ! Click below, first on my list! It has moving fractals. it is subtitled. My favorite scene is the man with the Daily Bread. Should the Community have Interest, I would LOVE to share with you my very special pizza recipe and method. Hint: i make a batter with Flour, Salt, and some yeast.. let it Rise overnight, cook on a Steel plate over fire or gas stove (cover it while cooking). Simple as the Lord's Prayer. Blessings..

It was the '70s..

I hope everyone is aware this lovely lady is very much alive and resides here in Adelaide and is still very vocal in matters like Aboriginal rights, refugees and is instrumental in feeding the homeless in Adelaide via a mobile soup kitchen in the cold winter months. I have had the fortune to meet her and some of her family.

This song is so typical of the 70s, fresh and creative.

Thank you so much Sister Mead! :)

I remember when this song came out. I was 13 and I sang in my churches youth choir. They kept asking me and teasing me about when did I find time to recorded the song, my name was Janet Mead and I did sound like Sister Mead. It was funny at first. I have always loved this song though.

It's sad that the poor kid drumming in the video has epilepsy....I will sing this song for eternity as I burn in hell. I guess I won't be needing a jacket.

COOL

So unusual

Pure 70s, like a recruitment song to young girls to save their chastities

or as the church would say 'soul'

A rocking nun so coooooooooooooooool
