Somebody told me once they used the tune, but used the words to “Amazing Grace.”

Naah. Not enough bling or big hair.
Or grubbing for money at the end.

That said, I wonder if you could pull the same stunt on TBN or similar today; do the presentation they expect and sneak the stuff past the Church Ladies…

Well, considering Brewer & Shipley said they wrote the song as a joke, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this Wholesome Christian Couple got on Lawrence Welk for the same reason (“Let’s see if we can sneak this onto the show”)…

Or “In the Garden of Eden” by I Ron Butterfly…

“In a Gadda da Vida, Baby…”

I loved this song when it first came out. Brewer & Shipley classic. I got in trouble for playing this at youth group. Hehe.
