I was going to post my review of Burn After Reading, this week's Sunday matinee. Unfortunately for anyone who might have wanted to read that, something happened on the way to work today so you will have to wait another day. This is worth it, trust me...
I hardly ever listen to the radio. This morning, however, I was running errands for work and I had to make several stops. I was getting tired of plugging in my ipod so I just tuned it to the one station I listen to in LA. I turned it on right when they were doing a segment on Youtube. Apparently, some guy comes on once a week and tells everyone what hidden gem he found on Youtube that week, normally the kind of drivel I would immediately turn off. This morning I did not, I will never know why. And I was rewarded. With this song. I am listening to it now as I write this. It is called Jesus is My Friend by a group called Sonseed. From what I can gather, they were a christian rock band in the 80's and, also from what I can gather, this is their big hit. Please reward yourself by watching this video! They sound like 80's ska-lite, maybe like Madness (In fact, on Youtube, there is a review that says that very same thing so maybe I am on to something). Put this music with the lyrics and you have magic! Magic that I would never have found on my own and I cannot keep to myself. It just wouldn't be fair.
"He taught me how to pray
And how to save my soul
He taught me how to praise my god and still play rock and roll"
But my favorite lines are these:
"ONce I tried to run
I tried to run and hide
But Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside
He is like a mounty
He always gets his man and he will zap you any way he can"
I really urge you to watch this video twice, once maybe just to listen to this song. Then you have to watch it again to see everything going on in the background. You HAVE to look at the background singers. And please do not forget to watch the 80's style video instrumental closeups! This may, just maybe, may be the best song ever written.

1) Thank you SO much for posting this!!! I cannot stop laughing at the John-Derien-ridiculous-osity
2) Sorry it took me so long to post a comment.
3) Why did Jesus touch this guy deep inside?
4) Doesn't that count as lewd, homosexual behavior from some religious group's lord & saviour?
5) Doesn't said religious group hate on homosexuals?
6) The color of the room makes it look like a bottle of Pepto threw up all over the walls.
7) I LOVE the guy with the single 'stache jamming out on his guitar.
8) Did you notice the menorah on the wall in the very, very beginning? CHALLAH!
9) I wonder how badly the fat guy at the end wants to touch himself "deep inside?"
10) Whatever radio station gave you this gem, keep listening to it. It's obviously full of buried treasure.
