Since we’ve ventured into the realm of the blasphemous, I’ll share my current favorite, [Old Time God](http://www.slapyo.com/2006/06/01/old-time-god/).

Oh, God, I **love** it. 😃 Got my flat-top out and am learning it tonight!

Thanks

Ummmmm. I’m having a problem with the chord progression? It’s in G, right?

Anybody know it?

Thanks

Never mind, I found the tune it’s based on. (_Have A Little Talk With Jesus_) Now all I gotta do is tweak the chorus a little.

You know, after listening to those words, other than the use of the word “fuck”, I don’t see anything wrong with that tune nor do I find it blasphemous.

Instead of singing “He’ll fuck you up”, one could substitute “He’ll strike you down”, and it would be fine. Wouldn’t be as _funny_, but it would work.

It’s just semantics, man. 😉

Remember Carlin’s _Seven Words…_? That’s all they are: just words.

Am I “preachin’ to the choir”? 😉
