Seriously, there is no excuse for this- it’s pure stupidity. Now, to be fair, these are just the lyrics; on the actual recording, he does a fairly good impression of each of these characters. But it must take an incredible amount of “spiritual salesmanship” and shameless hypocrisy to try and turn this into some kind of inspiring Christian message. Not to mention the amount of ammunition it gives to Christian-haters and the anti-rock crowd. Does he really think his Christian fans are so rigid and shallow, that fun makes us feel guilty unless it’s the most religious and spiritual kind?
Anyway, here are the lyrics:
I was thinkin’ the other day,
“What if cartoons got saved?
They’d start singing praise
In a whole new way…”
Yeah, I was thinkin’ the other day,
“What if cartoons got saved?
They’d start singing praise
In a whole new way…”
Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Sing “Yabba-dabba-do-lu-yah”
Scooby-doo and Shaggy:
“Scooby-dooby-doo-loo-yah”
And the Jetsons’ dog named Astro:
“Rough-ray-roo-loo-yah”
(repeat chorus)
Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles:
“Cowabunga-loo-yah, Dude!”
Then there’s, “Kermit the Frog here, singing,
High-ho-le-loo-yah”
And that little bald guy, Elmer Fudd:
“How-ay-woo-yah”
(repeat chorus)
Oh that big old moose and his friend Rocky,
“Bullwinkle-loo-yah”
And our favourite bear named Yogi,
“Hey, Boo-Boo-loo-ya”
Then there’s all those little blue guys
And they’d sing, “Hah-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lay-loo-yah”
How about Beavis and that other guy?
“Nah!!”
Now, there’s a point to this looney-tune
I’m not an Anamaniac
But there’s a lot of praisin’ to do
And cartoons weren’t made for that
It’s our job
So, let’s sing hallelujah
