24 Nov 97 - 08:54 PM (#16623) Subject: "Jesus Saves" parodies From: Nonie So, how many variant verses are there to the "Jesus Saves" silliness (to the tune of "The Battlehymn of the Republic"? I've only run into a few:
Jesus puts his money in the Chase Manhattan Bank (x3)
Jesus walks on water; he's the lifeguard at our pool (x3) And I have a vague memory of one about clipping coupons, and another about catching a ball in the bottom of the ninth. Any others? |

That's got to be a record. 1997 and 2015 - This is a popular thread every time there is a General Election in the UK where the outcome is unclear but there is a possibility of a Labour prime minister and voters are going around in a state of confusion with some of them saying, "Jesus, save us!" |
