    Church Music

    I'm not sure what is going on, but in the past few days, I have stumbled upon a treasure chest of recorded church music that almost seems like it was made for publication on theMangoTimes. (Special thanks to Tom in the Box and Kendra's mom!).

    #1 - The Breakfast Song. The first of our duos. How do you expect to grow the church by telling people there is "No Mo Bacon!" In my house alone that is going to turn people away from the faith! After watching this video, I'm not hungry for breakfast. Actually, I'm just not hungry at all.



    #2 - Go Tell It On The Mountain. The second entry in our category: Singers That Sound Worse Together. Pay attention to this video, and see if you can decipher the hidden theme: flowers. I'm thinking funeral flowers...as in, my ears just died. I think this is the version where they encouraged Henrietta and Merna to "not smile so much." My suggestion is this: Go "sing" this on a mountain...high on a mountain...far away from people.



    #3 - Something something something something. So, when someone says to you, "Hey, we need to make a video recording of your choir try-out, but this will only be for in-house purposes...it won't even leave the music ministry department...blah blah blah..." First, DO NOT believe them. Second, never use your real name. This one is my personal favorite.

    The eyebrows were sort of Cramer-esque! LOL!!!

    If you don't know the words...raise your eyebrows...

    Fletch,

    My stomach hurts now. Thanks for a good laugh.

    That Henrietta and Merna song was pure TORTURE! I couldn't even listen to 30 seconds of it.

    Oh, ow! Between my eardrums aching and my sides hurting I am in some severe pain!

    I'm wondering if in the first video they heard the Newsboys Breakfast song and thought they should try their hand at it too. I like the Newsboys better, they simply state that there is no breakfast in hell. The people in your video said there will be no more Cap'n Crunch when Jesus comes to take us home. That just sounds wrong!

    I feel bad for the younger gal in the second video, she looked like she was wishing to be anywhere but there... I can't blame her :-)

    As for the last one... I can't stop laughing... seriously funny stuff!

    Thanks for sharing!

    These were so funny, that I nearly fell off my chair laughing! Where in the world did you find these? And why did anyone allow them to be posted for the world to HEAR?! OMgoodness..... =D

    Okay, it's a really good thing that I didn't have a mouthful of mango tea....it wouldn't have been pretty!

    Looking forward to your visit :-)

    Believe it or not, these beauties were all discovered during a conversation with Kendra's mom. I've had a good laugh.

    Cathi...we can't wait for our Big Texas weekend.

    I'm sick, but these made me sicker. Painful.

    After watching these three videos, I know that I can now sing solos in church and they would be better than all three of them. I have been smiling and giggling since I watched them. No mo' worries I'm a singer, No mo' lip sync I am singing loudly, and yes, I have the smile from video #2 down pat and the eyebrows from #3 in motion..... I am ready to sing!!!

    Oh, those were funny.

    #1 I just can't believe that is an actual song. And wasn't that woman nodding off throughout the entire number? [Mark says: "That's because there's no mo' coffee."]

    #2 Horrific. Because "Jesus Christ is born" should be celebratory, not, um... whatever that was.

    #3 Poor guy.
