That really sucks. And the reason why they'd like God out of your town is because he/she/it attracts idiots like you.

Oh boy! A parody where my 1s will be appropriate!!!

Absolutely terrible parody. But Niles, (you don't have to, but) we should love and respect our enemies even though you don't agree with them. Name calling against Christians will not get "God out of your town". These "idiots" are as protected by the First Amendment as much as racists, athiests, and heathens. I don't like any of them and I don't condone their messages, but I don't fight hatred with more hatred.

5-2-2. While pacing was perfect, this song simply was not funny.
PA, remember you are on an international forum. Ranting and raving will get you nowhere and just gain you a truckload of 1s.There are people all around the world and they may not understand what you are saying or may interpret it just the way you didn't want. I am personally a Finn, and if I didn't know things better, I'd consider your song outright paranoid. I do dislike the Political Correctness to the boot (I consider it as intellectual and moral dishonesty), but the world just is not black and white. In this world there simply is no pure good and no pure evil. It is all about various shades of grey.

Then again, youth and impetuosity go hand in hand. I understand your unconditionality as I interprete you are young and have strong opinions. I'm in my mid-thirties and married. Am I right that you're a teen and single, and never been out to US? I suggest you to get witty and sarcastic instead of preaching - it will carry you longer.

Oh, and the jolly old Holy Nicky is welcome in my town. Actually my country has her Independency Day on St. Nicholas.

The white coats are coming, the white coats are coming.

Sorry to disagree with you, Susanna, but the pacing was far from perfect (apart from the bits that weren't changed from the original). The author's bile clearly got in the way of him (or her) thinking properly or singing through what (s)he had written. So, Proud American, what is it exactly that you feel proud about?

Hmm. Apparently there are different Finnish and English versions of this song (as there are of Jingle Bells and Old McDonald), and PA's version paced perfectly with the version I'm more familiar with I made yesterday a song for that tune, so if you find it limping, it is made on the Finnish lyrics' pacing ;)

Anyway, this song was just paranoid. Other PA's songs have so far been tasteless. The intention of parodies should be to get other people laugh, not to make the writer the laughingstock of others.

The dumbest arguments that the right-wingers make is that "God is being taken out of our public places, especially our public schools." This is true intellectual fraud. If God is all-powerful, then how can He be taken out of our public places... unless it is His will? And if He is not all-powerful, if He CAN, in fact, be taken out of public places, then why should we worship Him? Gimme a rational answer for those questions, and I'll leave the United Methodist Church and head down to Lynchburg, Virginia and have Jerry Falwell re-baptize me in the James River right now!

Proud American's parodying the Finnish version of this song? How very..er.. something
Michael - rational? No chance of that: rationality and faith are mutually exclusive.

Your devotion is very moving, Proud American. I can see you march across mountains and valleys carrying our flag all across this fair land of ours, God's land, with me by your side. Pay no attention to these heathen critics, for as Christ said, "they knoweth not what they do."

Christian Sally - believe me, you are no visionary. Also, please stop taking my son's comments out of context for you knoweth not what they mean. I command you to stop tying my name in with war. If you were any follower of me, you would knoweth that I am-eth a pascifist. Now, go to hell.
