I Cannot Take My Eyes Off Of This

[Symarip]

A little background information:

There's a band I've been following since I was in my early teens called The Bodysnatchers. They claimed some minor UK hits in the early 80s. Through the wonders of the intertubes, the leadsinger, Rhoda Dakar, and I correspond frequently, and in today's increasingly small world, actually share some mutual friends. We both have a sick sense of humor and periodically send each other Raptor Jesus pics and other humurous religious nonsense.

This afternoon, she sent me this link:

And I cannot take my eyes off of it. It is fantastically fantastic in a fantastical kind of way. If I were in charge of the Republican Convention this would be Palin's theme song.

1. I'm speechless.

:wow:

[Symarip]

2. Jesus is my friend

I didn't know guys that look like Kenny Loggins could rock the Ska so fucking hard.

PRAISE!

[mike_c]

3. wow....

I'm thinking you might have some new rickroll material there!

[Symarip]

6. Oh, it will be, my friend...

It will be.

[Iggo]

4. He loves me when I'm right.

He loves me when I'm wrong.

He loves me even though

I wrote this (silly) song.

[Symarip]

5. Hey goddammit

He is like a mounty....

ZAP!

[snooper2]

7. That's something I never ever needed to see in my life..

:eyes:

:crazy:

[Symarip]

8. You weren't touched by this soon to be huge internet ska hit?

I call bullshit.

[graywarrior]

9. WTF?

:wow:

[Symarip]

10. If that's your reaction

That means it's working :)

[graywarrior]

13. I lasted 40 seconds.

I was horrified.

[Symarip]

14. Trust me

It's worth sitting it out for the 'zap'. Seriously.

[graywarrior]

15. Cripes, that was horrid.

[Symarip]

18. It sings to my heart

Knowing you felt the zap.

Praise!

[graywarrior]

19. I need penicillin now

[GCP]

11. The one with the beard looks like Matcom!

He did belong to a hair band in the 80s - maybe this is before the Fall!

[Symarip]

12. There is only one word to describe these God fearing musicians:

Sexy

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Okely dokely. Oy.

It reminds me of gigs I have taken in my deep dark past.

I don't play contemporary christian crap anymore...unless I'm taken unawares, which has happened on occasion.

[tekisui]

17. That was great.

And, I hate chirstian anything!

[Symarip]

24. Jesus Go Ska

It is rather magical, isn't it?

[bbernardini]

20. Are these people serious?

Sadly, I think they are. It's pretty competent white person ska, if you remove the vocals. Nice to see Jeff "Skunk" Baxter's evil twin, Skippy Baxter, on guitar.

21. This guy found the lead singer and interviewed him!

[lazyriver]

26. Scarred...for...life. I only lasted 30 seconds or so. Dear sweet

jebus that's bad.

[Symarip]

27. I suggest you wait for the Zap moment

And feel the love swarm in.

[lazyriver]

28. Maybe tonight after several beers.

[krispos42]

29. You've been Sonseeded?

Oh, I'll have to use this...

[Symarip]

30. For he is like a Mounty.

And as you know, he will zap you any way He can.


Zap!
