The Lyrics
If the Mormon term "Fast and Testimony Meeting" doesn't mean anything to you, then neither will this parody or Robert Lund's recording thereof. But that's OK; I'll send over a pair of shiny young men to explain it all.
Brother Johansen says God fixed his prostate
Sister Hill wails that her son's gone apostate
Missy Brown details her trip to Belize
These are a few of the testimonies
Brother Stone calls his ex-wife to repentance
Sister Dean can't form a blubber-free sentence
Ammon Smith's grateful the Jazz beat the Kings
These are a few of the Fast Meeting things
There's unchaste movies at Wal-Mart in Layton
Hillary Clinton's a minion of Satan
God loves you just a bit less if you're gay
These are some nuggets I've picked up today
When this low-key
Karaoke
Shows how odd we are
I simply remember I'm not Warren Jeffs
And then I don't feel bizarre
Madison cries that her mom flushed her turtle
Then she announces her daddy's infertile
Tyler loves Jesus and recess and peas
These are a few of the testimonies
Elder Jones gripes that less-actives frustrate 'im
Nine CTR's thank the same things verbatim
Brother McPhie knows Rush Limbaugh is true
And The Da Vinci Code may well be too
Sister Cabell says the United Nations
Must be the beast from the book Revelations
Folks squirm through dubious doctrine and then
Everyone drowsily mumbles "Amen"
When euphor-ya
Starts to bore ya
Here's the thing that's sweet:
Each talk brings us nearer Hymn 152
And then we go home - to - eat!
Sister Hill wails that her son's gone apostate
Missy Brown details her trip to Belize
These are a few of the testimonies
Brother Stone calls his ex-wife to repentance
Sister Dean can't form a blubber-free sentence
Ammon Smith's grateful the Jazz beat the Kings
These are a few of the Fast Meeting things
There's unchaste movies at Wal-Mart in Layton
Hillary Clinton's a minion of Satan
God loves you just a bit less if you're gay
These are some nuggets I've picked up today
When this low-key
Karaoke
Shows how odd we are
I simply remember I'm not Warren Jeffs
And then I don't feel bizarre
Madison cries that her mom flushed her turtle
Then she announces her daddy's infertile
Tyler loves Jesus and recess and peas
These are a few of the testimonies
Elder Jones gripes that less-actives frustrate 'im
Nine CTR's thank the same things verbatim
Brother McPhie knows Rush Limbaugh is true
And The Da Vinci Code may well be too
Sister Cabell says the United Nations
Must be the beast from the book Revelations
Folks squirm through dubious doctrine and then

When euphor-ya

Here's the thing that's sweet:

And then we go home - to - eat!

Wow! Three Spafftastic Parodies in one day!!! So with all this under your belt, are you doing to participate in SOTM again?
I herad this on your MySpace Muisc page the other, awesome.555!
He he....I like it.
What are CTR's 5's
my favorite of the day
I enjoy parodies of this OS...this one gets a perfect 5-5-5 from me. ;)
Very well done...with great lines and rhymes
OK, Mr Sumsion...what's going on? Three parodies in one day? Jeez Louise....;-). I didn't get ALL the references in this one, but boy- I love what you do with the English language. 555
ah, I remember this one from the MB, from that Utah comp - you wuz robbed Spaff - this is brilliant - and I also now know what testimonies (as opposed to moaningtestes) are, thanks to my painstaking research (and the fact you told me :-)) - 555 - "God loves you just a bit less if you're gay" - hee hee
Thanx, Jack & Adagio & Serafina & AFW & Kristof!
Matthias: Nah. I'm still on a break from the contests, but thanks.
Lionel: The use of "CTR" (Choose The Right) in Mormondom is a whole nother discussion, but here you can translate it as "kid."
Alvin: I'm always thrilled to get the Favorite of Alvin Rhodes Today award.
Stuart: Cool that you remembered. "Moaningtestes" - heh heh. Watch for Arwen to win that competition next year (assuming they repeat it). I'm serious.

Well, you already know how I feel about this one, Spaff...(and how my family feels...and how their friends in far off places feel)...but I had to stop by to throw down some fives...and also for name dropping me (with a positive tone) in your comments. Seriously...that ALWAYS gets a fella points with me...; )
Ummm...I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be a "to thank you" in between the "and also" and the "for name dropping" in my comment. I'm a little bit slow...sorry about that.
Sister Evenstar: Thank you...and your family...and their friends in far off places. And I'm pretty sure there's a "you're welcome" in here too.
That was sooo funny!!! I loved it. My brother played it for my family and some of the others from church and everyone was laughing their heads off it was that great!!! LOL
Thanks, Sister Jennley.
I'm a fellow Mormon, a Sister in the Satelite Beach Ward of the Cocoa Florida Stake. I just wanted to say that I *loved* this parody; I laughed my head off. Please, keep up the great work!
I'm not sure on that one line you typed for the song: *Elder Jones gripes that less-actives frustrate 'im, "Nine CTR's thank the same things verbatim" * Is it "Nine CTR's 'think' the same things verbatim"? I'm a little confused on the one line, but I love the song anyway. :) Could someone let me know what the right line is please?
Missed this first time around - run-of-the-mill bloody marvellous ;-)
Sister Crutcher: Thank you and nice catch. I used "thank" as shorthand for "say that they are thankful for." Although it's technically incorrect, I thought it was more evocative than "say."
Brother Alexander: I am thankful for that comment.
Brother Alexander: I am thankful for that comment.
That was amazingly funny
Thanks for letting me know about the line, I just got confused. :)
Brilliant! Totally brilliant!
bob & A Clarke: Why, thank you.
Kelly: Why, you're welcome.
Kelly: Why, you're welcome.
Ha-ha-ha!!! I love it! And its so true, I've heard about half of those talks in my own fast meeting! I first heard this song in Seminary, as an example of what NOT to do when you're giving a talk, and when my teacher played it for us there was a line in between the verses somewhere where the guy asked his sister for some leftover Cherrio's. I don't know, maybe it was some rip-off I heard. It's still hilarious though!!!
I love this!!!! My friend showed it to me and I had to have it. It's so funny because it is totally true. I have been to so many of those meetings. Every Fast Sunday I hear at least 4 bizarre testimonies.
Jenny: You heard Robert Lund's recording - he ad-libbed that Cheerios line in the break, which I love too. Thanks!
Jadzia: Let's just say it's inspired by actual events.

Stumbled across Workin the Glory album in a Limewire search (sorry). I love this whole album. As a LDS I do believe that a non - LDS wouldn't get the humor. How about another album Robert?
Another album you can steal off Limewire? We'll get right on that.
How do I download this song?
