I own this album! I live in Lynchburg in Lynchburg, and they play this album at "Doc''s Diner" Doc's referring to Dr. Jerry Falwell. I was eating a philly cheesteak and this song came on, I think its hilarious you made a video about it.

Doc's Diner!!! Wow. Never knew such a place existed. Just looked it up on the miracle of the internet and now I so want to go there!!!

Lots of Vegan options on the menu right?

I watched this yesterday and had to come back today to let you know that my boyfriend and I could not stop singing that song all night. Can I buy the single?

[klfly]

I KNOW! Me too! I've been singing it non-stop. My wife is going to kill me.

Recording is a miracle. It's not science at work, but rather a miracle.

How did this guy grow up in the US and yet he seems like some remote bushman who has never experienced any form of technology. If I showed him a cell phone he'd have worshiped me or more likely burned me at the stake.

The funny part is, this part might be right:

"I don't know much about his ancestors, but mine didn't swing from a tree."

Our closest relatives are apes, which are not monkeys, and do not swing from trees.

Yet again: If you want to criticize a theory, take some time to learn about it.

Shh, might cause creationist heads to explode with that one!

From Gallup polls: There has been surprisingly little change over the last 24 years in how Americans respond to the question of evolution: Between 44% and 47% of Americans have consistently agreed with the third alternative, that God created human beings in their present form within the last 10,000 years or so. Between 35% and 40% agree that man evolved with God's guidance, while between 9% and 13% believe that man evolved, but with no guidance from God. You athiests are in the minority -Sorry!

@larryishere1 Actually, I was in Thailand, and there were some gibbons (don't know if they are monkeys or apes) that were swinging from electric wires. You can go to my photo. net account and go to animals, and you will see the photo. :)

I remember seeing this sung by some kids on Jerry Falwell's Sunday AM service one week, and then later someone who visited our church also performed it. It's a cute song, and tells the truth - and for the person who mentioned "brainwashing", what does he think is happening RIGHT NOW in our public school system?? Free thought? Why aren't the schools presenting Creationism as an alternative to the THEORY of evolution? I'll tell you why - it's because Intelligent Design makes a lot more sense!

[LouisPlume]

Any one know how I can licence this song for a film being made.

[IamLiterallyRetarded]

@ForeverAnalog It's free in that there is no worry of "Mind Police" gods that are peeking at your thoughts and judging you for them.

[ForeverAnalog]

Its funny how they call it "free thought" when its really just the same thinking as everyone else in the world. I dont see how the atheist movement is "free thought".

[larryishere1]

I've seen it in movies, but i've never seen actual documentation of primates swinging on vines. Do monkeys really swing in trees?
