Fweethawt Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 You should rewrite a song to the same tune titled, I Just Want To Be Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnceConvinced Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 That one's been around in New Zealand for years..... an no sheep jokes please! I can't understand why any kid would want to sing that. Why would you want to be a sheep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceOfMind Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 You should rewrite a song to the same tune titled, I Just Want To Be Me. I was thinking of that myself. Definitely wouldn't be a bad idea after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. K Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Wow, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.... Mr. K remembers, vaguely, learning that song in Sunday School when he was a wee lad (over thirty years ago, mind you). I told him that had that song been taught to me in Bible school during my formative years, one of two things would have happened. One, I would have piped up (I was NOT a shy child, and I was VERY opinionated), "I don't want to be a sheep, sheep aren't very smart, they just go where they're herded!" Two, I wold have told my mother about the song we learned, and she would have had KITTENS. Yep, my mom would have been on the phone immediately, wanting someone's head on a platter, for trying to teach HER daughter that she wanted to be a sheep, and blindly follow along. Keep in mind? My mother prayed, before I was born, "Lord, don't send me no milksop children." She didn't want a child afraid of her own shadow. So, what did she get? Me and my brother, two of the most opinionated people you could ever meet. We're kind of an odd bunch.... It's still better than that damn 'Arky Arky' song... Seriously you guys, I taught Sunday School, forgive me, and ya'll are gonna give me nightmares. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh Still funny to try to get a 2 year old to say hallelujah, halla you ya heheheheheh *snickering* My friend's five year old son decided to sing for us one afternoon. He was trying to sing the "Hallelujah Chorus", and it came out, "Halla blue ya". Of course, he's the same child who told us that "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing" was actually a sad song, because the angels have arrows in them. Yep, you guessed it, he sings it, "Hark, The Arrowed Angels Sing". I love this kid, I really do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abiyoyo Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 The funny thing is that was probualy some very shy, churchy, living in a bubble, person that got really drunk one day for the first time, and felt bad.

Abiyoyo Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I really do think Sunday school runs like a little cult or something. My ex still teaches it and me and my daughter had a conversation earlier today about something she said. She said that bad people and people that dont believe in Jesus, dont go to church. I asked her if daddy was a bad person and didnt believe in Jesus. She said no. I said, Well honey, just because someone doesnt go to church doesnt mean there a bad person or that they dont believe in Jesus. Her reaction and look on her face was priceless.

Just follow, mindlessly; politically and religiously. You should rewrite a song to the same tune titled, I Just Want To Be Me. Awwwwww, I can't resist (not that you haven't heard it): Why do shepherds were long, flowing robes? 'Cause sheep can hear a zipper a mile away.

Kurari Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 It's still better than that damn 'Arky Arky' song... Oh boy, that song makes my gut twist to this day. I was at a 4-H camp when I was younger, which has NOTHING to do with christianity, but we were forced to pray before meals, get a quote from the Bible every morning, and sing nothing but christian songs for hours sometimes. I think the camp was run by fundys who wanted to insert their own agenda where they weren't supposed to. I got fed up on the "Arky Arky" song and just stopped singing. When I was told to sing I said, "I'm not christian and I shouldn't have to sing it." WELL. I got hauled in front of the camp directors, yelled at, and they called my mother. My mother came down there like a bat out of hell. Boy, were they surprised when she ripped THEM a new one. She forced them to apologize to me, demanded her money back, and took me home. My mother is an agnostic with a history of religious abuse. Go mom. Still hate that fucking stupid song because of that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thackerie Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I remember something from my brief time in sunday school (evangelical methodist) that included this chorus: I'm going to heaven, Don't want to be late. I'm going to heaven, And I can't wait. Can't wait! That always bothered me ... kind of made me think that if a bomb suddenly went off in the classroom and killed all the little kiddies, there would be no one to blame but ourselves because we asked for it. Now, that I know prayers are not answered, life is less scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideawake42 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Wow, I thought I'd heard them all, but I'd never heard that particular Sunday school song. I always had a problem with "Revelations, Revelations, 21:8, 21:8, Liars go to hell, Liars go to hell, Burn, burn, burn! Burn, Burn, Burn!" when we sang that joyful Sunday school hymn, even as a little kid. I always thought it was pretty mean and contradictory to the "God of love" we were learning about.

Vixentrox Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well, of course they want to be sheep. Since evryone knows that sheppards are well known for banging thier sheep, and they want to be brides of Christ, makes sense that they want to be something the good sheppard would be sexually attracted to.

specs appeal Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hmm, I can believe it, I'm pretty sure we did that one (the sheep song) somewhere when I was a kid. (And "Arky Arky"? The name sounds slightly familiar... I don't know.) The "burn, burn burn" song is just... scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 For some reason this whole thing reminds me of a joke (caution: some knowledge of English dialects required) One prisoner to another, "Whatcher in fer, then?" The other (in a slow-revving Northern accent) "Ah got six moonths for buggerin' a goat". The first one, "Wot, six months fer that? That were a bit stern wa'nt it?" "Oh, Ah doan't know, look at me me-ate over there, 'e got twelve moonths an' all 'e doon was act t'goat!" Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
