That one always cracked me up with the badness, just because the lyrics (God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us, from a distance) always made God sound like a creepy stalker/peeping deity.
I've always thought it made God sound kinda senile and befuddled, and not very in touch with his creations--i.e. we know the world is a shitty place, but God thinks it looks really pretty because he's just watching it from a distance. So on the handful of occasions I've heard it used/praised in a Christian context, I've been all, "Huh? Did you listen to the lyrics
at all?"
I love how Calvin's dad explains to him that color photography has always existed, and all photos are color. But years ago, reality was all black and white....

Yeah. At least Santa stalks us from up close.
And I wasn't meaning to pick on you, LJ. That song just struck me that way the first time I heard it, and that interpretation stuck with me.
Hee! I have no compunctions about karaoke! I always sing "Copacabana" and then usually something by Pat Benatar. Although one of my favorites was "Kiss Me Deadly" my Lita Ford. Wow, I was loaded and it was so fun to sing that!
Short of memorizing the almanac, it probably is the best way to cope with kids who ask too many questions.
I totally make shit up when answering the kids questions. I must do it too well because it only encourages them. The more outragious the answers the more frequent the questions.
Mine fourth. Short of memnorizing the almnac, it probably is the best way to cope with kids who ask too many questions.
Ah, see my dad would point something out to you and then start making shit up about it. He had my cousin convinced that tuna fish was possum in a can. Which is funny because my grandfather had the same cousin convinced that tamales were made from turtles. Poor Krissie has some food issues.
I learned at a very early age not to ask my dad, and just to go look it up myself.
And I wasn't meaning to pick on you, LJ.
I know you weren't, so no apology needed.
I agree it's not a very pro-God song.
Don't weep, DX. I'm incredibly musically ignorant, even compared to people who are younger than I am.
No, it's a song about Bart Starr. When the Packers won the first two Super Bowls, his players would hold up their Super Bowl rings to him and say, "Ring-O! Ring-O" and then sing a song. The songs they'd sing became known as Ringo Starr song
I'm also incredibly football ignorant, and yet, I think you guys are all making this stuff up.
