Cristy Lane: The Lost Recordings, 3

Recorded at Legend Studio, Pascagoula, Mississippi, June 1979, but never released.*
“Play That Funky Music Jesus”
Hey�do it now�yeah hey
Yeah, once I was a country-girl singer�playin’ in an a southern-rock band
I never had no problems, yeah�burnin’ down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah�got to start to feelin’ so low
And I decided quickly [yes I did]�to let the SAVIOR into my soul
SAW DEMONS dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me an ANGEL turned around and shouted
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music JESUS
Pray for our sins, LORD, and and play that funky music till you die�
(hey,hey) way up high!
Well, I tried to understand this�Yeah. I thought that I was out of my mind
How could I be so foolish�HE claims that HE can heal up the blind [How could HE?]
So still I kept on fightin’�refusin’ to believe what he say (Yeah, what’d you do?)
I said, “I must go back there”[Got to go back]�ain’t ready for no damn JUDGMENT DAY
SEEN DEVILS dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me an ANGEL turned around and shouted
Play that funky music JESUS
Lead US SINNERS into the light
Play that funky music JESUS
Pray for our sins, LORD, and and play that funky music till you die�
Way up high! (on the cross, now)
(Come on�Play some electrified funky music, JESUS)
[Hey, wait a minute] Now first it wasn’t easy�changin’ up THIS SINNER’S mind
And things were getting shaky�I thought HIS MERCY I’d never find
Oh, but now its so much better [It’s so much better]�I’m funkin out in ev-er-y way
But I’ll never lose that feelin’ [No I won’t]�Of how I learned my lesson that day
SAW CHERUBS dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me THE SPIRIT turned around and shouted
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music JESUS
Pray for our sins, LORD, and and play that funky music till you die�
Till you die�oh, till you die (for our transgressions, sweet baby)
(They shouted, Play that funky music) Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Got to keep on�Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Pray for your REDEMPTION
(Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higher now�
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music JESUS
Lead US SINNERS into the light
Play that funky music JESUS
Play that funky music right, yeah

  1. Um… Um… Um…
    I guess when I eventually wind up in Hell I’ll have someone else to talk to besides Jimmy Swaggart and Stockwell Day.

  3. “Red liberal ad hominemist?” You’ll have to explain, Monty. Not sure my radar is set to “red liberal” and “ad hominem” at the same frequency as is yours.

  4. Actually, I think I share Jeff’s worldview in one respect:
    “God would not have covered everything with big red buttons if He did not intend for me to push them.”
    Huzzah!

  5. Look jeff,
    Go take your redliberal troll baiting puke somewhere else. Ok weenie boy?!

  6. Which “redliberal troll baiting puke” would you like me to take with me, Monty?
    And what exactly is a “weenie boy”?
    Really. You continue to confound.

  7. Hey! You ain’t that Gospel Singer that Homer Simpson became the roadie of, are Ya? (There could be serious ‘issues’ if this comes out).
    But I can be bribed: You gimmie a place in your band. My instrument is called a ‘swinette’,
    (it is two strings stretched across a pig’s ass, and strummed with a pitchfork).
    Do you do any of Kinky Freidman & the Texasjewboys’ stuff?

  8. Here’s an idea for the next topic, how about the lyrics to Cats? Or maybe publish the collected works of Liza Minelli?

  9. There has to be at least 200+ very very active Conservative blogs out there and a few pimpley faced red liberal troll baiters, like you two, sitting in their parent’s basements with nothing better to do with their lives on a summer afternoon can nothing about it.
    Have a nice day!

  10. Must be some strange North American culture clash happening here, because again I’m confused. Who, Bill, is the pimply-faced red liberal troll baiter? And more importantly, what is a red liberal troll baiter, and how does one achieve the appellation?

  11. Jeff, just so you know, Conservatives are Blue in Canada, and Liberals are Red. It’s the opposite of what you’re used to down south where Kerry supporters were Blue and Bush supporters were Red.
    If a right-winger in Canada calls you Red, it’s anything but a compliment.

  12. Thanks, I get that much, Sean. But what I’m wondering is, am I the one being called a red liberal troll baiter here? And if so, is it because I’m somehow baiting red liberal trolls? If so, how?
    Or is it because I myself am supposed to be a red liberal who is baiting conservatives? Which would come as a big surprise to my regular readers and to the lefty blogs ubiquitously at war with me.
    All so very confusing.

  13. Uh…. I think you all got Jeff G confused here. He ain’t no Red Liberal. I’ve been to his site many times, and he’s the furthest thing from it.
    Hell, I even mad a contribution for his new PC when his old one went northeast.

  14. What a strange thread. Say, in the 20’s and 30’s there was a form of boxing, loosely defined, where eight or ten fighters, inevitably black and poor, and each with a sack tied over their heads so they couldn’t see, were put into a ring, and the last guy standing won some token amount of money.
    The same thing is going on here, only the rewards are smaller. You’d think Jeff G. that you are running through a open field in a thunderstorm waving a nine-iron above your head. It’s just the weather Jeff. It has nothing whatsoever to do with you. You are now simultaneously a red Liberal, and someone who trolls for red-liberals to bait them, and…oh, crap who knows. OOOF!
    Kate should have left you her pump-action twenty-two.

  15. Jeff G: I think the original reference was to us, so that means either you are the red liberal troll baiter and I’m the one being baited or else you are the red liberal and you’re baiting and I’m the troll or vice versa.
    Actually one has a few choices from that – so, pick one from Column A and one from Column B. I’m not sure, I got confused typing that.

  16. LOL…. if either Jeff G or Jay are red liberals then I’m paul martin…. give me all your money dammit…

  17. “But what I’m wondering is, am I the one being called a red liberal troll baiter here? And if so, is it because I’m somehow baiting red liberal trolls? If so, how?”
    Dunno. All I can tell you is that I’m not very popular as far as being one of Kate’s guest bloggers goes. I’ve received some, um, ‘interesting’ private e-mail exhorting me to do things that run contrary to both my morals and my understanding of biology. 🙁

  18. Sean,
    Lucky they didn’t come to me, I would have posted them for further comment … 😉

  19. I have this vision of Monty wearing a red coat, having blond curly hair, and a long, double chin.
    I’m sorry, all my knowledge of Canadian “culture” comes courtesy of Jay Ward.

  20. Just goes to show you Jeff, on the whole, Canadians have no sense of humor or irony. Which is why all the funny canucks claim political asylum in the United States.

  21. Bill from INDC: some of us have no choice but to stay and fight off the leftist mental midgets. If we didn’t they would be crossing the border as well to spread there flawed logic to you. So I guess that makes us about even, you got Dean/Kerry/Moore, we got Martin/Chretian/Layton.
    Maybe we join forces and have a leftie weenie roast.. 😉

  22. “Lucky they didn’t come to me, I would have posted them for further comment … ;-)”
    I’m trying to be somewhat respectful of Kate’s property. Directly attacking her readers doesn’t strike me as honoring the trust she conferred upon me when she gave me the login. Besides, sticks and stones, right?

  23. LOL…. ya’ll caught that one eh?
    Couldn’t resist, needed a little humer over there.

  24. “All I can tell you is that I’m not very popular as far as being one of Kate’s guest bloggers goes.” – Sean
    Maybe it’s because this week’s guest bloggers are: a) not very funny, b) not very respectful, c) obsessed with gayness and beer, or d) deleting peoples’ comments.
    Just a thought.

  25. Hey. I’ve won awards, CodeTech.
    Maybe it’s just that Kate has terrible taste in guest bloggers. Or maybe it’s just that you are an ungrateful c*cksucker who wants more for his zero dollars than he deserves.
    In any case, f*ck off.

  26. Of course, the “awards” line was a bit of a self-effacing joke — but then, one has to learn to expect self-important a**holes like you to miss those kinds of things.
    Welcome to the blogosphere, NeoCanCon! You’re off to a super start!

  27. CT:
    a) I’m as funny as I am good looking (not saying much, I know…).
    b) Please tell me where I’ve been disrespectful.
    c) I’m obsessed with *avoiding* beer (reformed alkie).
    d) I have not deleted a single comment.

  28. WTF is up with the brand-new-blogger disease going around lately? Half the comment snipers I’ve seen in the last few weeks are bozos in possession of new blogs. Hmmm. I guess it’s the new blog promotion TOOL.

  29. Sean, I was trying to be diplomatic and not point fingers at an individual. Apparently the problem is just one of the guest bloggers.
    Nice try, Beth.

  30. See? CodeTech is surely Canadian.
    If they aren’t mooning over their beaver tails, low homicide rates and gratis healthcare, they’re asserting their status as humorless scolds.
    Don’t believe me? Ask William Shatner, a man clearly too cool for Canada.

  31. Dear geographically-challenged American posters,
    Look it is quite obvious you guys no SHIT about Canada and the ignoramus ‘pissing contests’ you instigate only underlines your deficit.
    Do us all a favor; keep your idiocy to yourselves, you add NOTHING to the political discussion of Canada..in fact you take the thread WAY off topic. (But maybe that’s what you intended…nah that’s giving you too much credit)

  32. Dear grammatically challenged Canadian poster,
    There is a difference between “no” and “know.” You might do better calling someone an ignoramus if you didn’t write like one yourself.

  33. ” Da poof is da poof, and when you have good poof,it is poofen.” (See- all the ‘benefits’ of a Canukistani university education!)
