I was actually looking for another Zombie hit, trying to find an original copy of the video - with solid soundtrack - when I saw this and I just had to crack up!
Okay, Norman Greenbaum, wrote a lot of music, played in many well known bands (like Iron Butterfly) and listening to Porter Wagner one day decided to crank out his version of a gospel recording!
At the time, we were dying of laughter! Greenbaum was Jewish, not a great Jew, but still none the less. And his life was hardly something to model a Christian one after! I remember reading that even Alice Cooper was left slightly speechless and he hated Christians at the time!
So, what it is worth, a modern gospel song, written by a Jew, and fed through a fuzz box ...
