The Lyrics
The passion over the depiction of The Passion in 'The Passion of the Christ'... got it? WARNING: IRREVERENT!
[JESUS CHRIST:]
I've stirred passions, lots of passions;
I'm a smash and I'm flashin' "OK"!
And how dashing is that actor playing me these days!
[ANGELS:] (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la!)
[J.C.:]
They're debatin' my 'R' ratin'...
Speculatin' if Satan is gay...
Oh, such passion for a simple Jewish boy these days!
[ANGELS:] (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la!)
[JEWISH MOMS:] Who's that handsome boy in his underwear?
[SINGLE DAUGHTERS:] Underwear! Where?
[VIRGIN MARY] Why'd they nail him onto that tree?
[SINGLE GIRLS] What? Where? There! Ewww...
[VIRGIN:] Such a trini...
[GOD:] Son...?
[VIRGIN:] Such a trini...
[J.C.:] Dad...?
[VIRGIN:] Such a trini...
[SLUT MARY] Ghost!
[VIRGIN:] Such a Trinity!
[ANGELS:] Such a trinity... such a trinity... such a trinity...
[J.C.:]
Oh, what passion! Teeth are gnashin'
'Bout the lashings I'm rationed, but hey...
I am thrilled... to be back in fashion today!
[DISCIPLES:]
Have you seen our leader, Christ Jesus - the one who turns water to wine?
We swear on St. Peter, believe us: he's the one who's the son of The Father Divine
[JUDAS:]
They think he's a god - I think they're insane; (Ha, ha, ha!)
He isn't a god! He's really quite plain...;
His motives were pure, he did what he could (yeah, yeah, yeah...)
But take up with whores? That leads to no good!
[PRO-CRUCIFIXION CONTINGENT:]
Have no pity on this here Chri-ust;
He's the reason Ro-mans despise us!
This carpenter's tools: nails, hammer and wood; (ha, ha, ha --)
The irony's cruel: they're nailing him good!
[J.C.:]
Oh my Passion! Painful Passion...
Such a Passion, I'm ashen; and death
Soon will crash in on this humble man from Nazareth...
[ANGELS:] (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la...)
[J.C.:]
Who needs passion with teeth gnashin',
People actin' irrationally?
Yes, I'm bashin' all this hateful passion over me!
[SATAN:] (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha!)
[CHRISTIANS:]
Look how they're abusing this humble man (this humble man...)
They continue even though he... (even though he...)
Says he dies for them, says he dies for us, says he dies for you, says he dies for me!
[CHRISTIANS:] Does he die for THEM?
[DISCIPLES:] Dies for all of us...
[JUDAS:] Doesn't die for ME...
[J.C.]
All this passion... hateful clashin'...
True compassion would dash it - oh, when...?
But what joy... to be back in fashion again!
I've stirred passions, lots of passions;
I'm a smash and I'm flashin' "OK"!
And how dashing is that actor playing me these days!
[ANGELS:] (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la!)

Now THIS is a musical I'd enjoy.... LOL
You nailed it good.
(Er, I mean Spaff.com.) This is beatific. And my favorite POTC parody thus far. Where have you been hiding, Leo? Trini...Dad?
Thanks all. Slut, if I had your talent, I could've found a suitable replacement for 'Trinity' that could have yielded actual and appropriate words when paired with 'Son' and 'Dad'. 'Trini/dad' was completely accidental and is really sort of annoying, given it has no relevance...
Excellent, Leo. Had a great big grin on my face reading through it.
Beautiful, beautiful job!! I echo Phil's sentiments. Take that, Andrew Lloyd Webber! 555.
...that is why that---ZAP!KRAKA-BOOM!---I feel perfectly comfortable with---KA-ZAPKRAKA-BOOOOOOM!---giving this parody---(mega)KAZAAAP-ZAP-KRAKA-KABOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!! ---three fives! (Ooh! ,now I feel REALLY tingly all over !) Who says it doesn't strike twice in the same place ?
Thanks all. Rod, I'll be struck down way before you... Love the Google ads that pop up...
Excellent, once again. Where were you during the song-of-the-month competitions? Dangerous material, but you carried it quite well.
Dang... Prez already took the obvious joke. But yes, you did indeed nail this one. 5's on me.
I couldn't watch the film because of the fears it was blasphemous, and this sort of pours water on it from a great height!
The wit! The whimsy! The passion! The fives!
2nz, neminem, pickle, EmiLoca -- thanks much!
Holy Schitte! I can't believe I missed this one too. It's fantastic!
