Random Quote
To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de-selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all.

The Bastard Fairies are fabulous. I've yet to find a song of theirs that fails to make me smile. And for that, I'm going to hell. =^_^=

The lead singer is... amazingly hot. I could watch her sing for a long time. Nice voice too.

meh...
While I may agree with the sentiment and the singer is cute I can't say as the song or the vid do much for me. Methinks we may be a bit hard up for entertainment that isn't fundie.
Posted by: Steve P. | March 14, 2008 11:56 AM
Cute girl, but geez that song is really awful.
Posted by: Sonja | March 14, 2008 12:06 PM
For some reason, the singer's overly-expressive face reminded me a little too much of the horrible Ms. Dewey Microsoft Search Engine.

I was a little miffed to see my friends Darwin and Einstein
included in the voyage to hell. Let's keep the insane idea
of a hell to the insane who believe in one. Otherwise, I
liked it, especially the guy reading god Is Not Great, and
getting up to get his girl friend a cold drink to soothe
her voice after the hell-fire in it.

The fat insane one saying "You need a holy ghost enema
right up your rear end." Oh brother, can it get any worse
than this? If you won't accept jeebus through your skull,
then he'll woosh up your rectum and you'll sure to get
the message through a more vulnable portal!
Posted by: Tom | March 14, 2008 1:00 PM
Who's the preacher whose voice can be heard during the interlude (or whatever) bitching about somebody who wrote him a nasty letter about how often he mentions money? That's hilarious.

New York (CNN). At John K. Kennedy International airport today, a caucasian male (later discovered to be a high school mathematics teacher) was arrested trying to board a flight while in posession of a compass, a protractor and a graphical calculator. According to law enforcement officials, he is believed to have ties with the Al-Gebra network. He will be charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Thats one thing Ive never understood: Who the hell wants virgins? I want 72 whores. I want women who know their way around a man's body. I want women who are going to teach me a thing or two about pleasure. Virgins? Too much damn work.

And then we all remember that it's a culture of ownership of their women, where one who has seen no man but you is worth more to your ego than one who can say they've had better.
Posted by: tus | March 14, 2008 3:11 PM
for those who havent quite figured it out...im fairly certain this constitutes satire.
seems some people actualy think she is serious...
anyhow...i like the song...catchy...one of those earworm songs like "smack dem christians down" that you just dont get outta your head.
Posted by: jsn | March 14, 2008 3:15 PM
OM(nonexistant)G. The best part of this video is the parody of Dr. Gene Scott on the tube, cussin' out his listeners (while we are treated to a shot reminiscent of Sharon Stone's infamous interrogation scene). I used to watch Dr. Scott and marvel on how he ever got anyone to send him money.
After all the comments on the singer's physical attributes, I was going to give you science nerds some shit like, "don't you guys ever get laid?", but I concede, she is a cutie (even if her voice is just this side of bearable). The responses (mine included) did add to the "all men are pigs" tally though. C'est la vie.
BTW, what's the deal with Woo's boobie postings?
Posted by: themadlolscientist | March 14, 2008 3:31 PM
I love this video. (And I'm a Baptist. But not the Fundy Mental Case kind.)
Anyone who wants to see more of Yellow Thunder Woman (literally!), go to the Bastard Fairies website. There are some great pinup shots over there. (I'm also a straight female. But I know beautiful when I see it. =grin=)
Posted by: Anonymous | March 14, 2008 3:31 PM
Yellow Thunder Woman is such a beautiful example of evolution. Take a glance once, and you may mistake her for an Asian. Take another look and the appearance seems to drift away. If you didn't get a clue from her stage name, she's NAI (Native American Indian), one of the most distant sub-groups of the old* "Mongoloid" anthropological race distinctions, and a perfect visualization of how a disconnected group can develop distinct changes in their appearance over time while maintaining a clear genetic link.
* I know this term, along with "Caucasoid" and "Negroid" are falling out of favor (mostly because of "PC", partially because with racial mixing they are becoming less helpful), but they still work well to illustrate a point.

I just want to be clear, although I consider myself to be rational, I believe God exists and the Flying Spaghetti Monster is God. I'm not a crazy fundy pastafarian though, I don't believe that crap about pirates...

re: #31
According to her MySpace, Yellow Thunder Woman isn't a stage name. That's whats on her birth certificate.
Also according to her MySpace, she believes that "everyone is religious." Oh well, you can't win 'em all.

Posted by: Will E. | March 14, 2008 8:32 PM
Sure, the singer's hot and all, and the "I need a beer" interlude is cute, but this kind of comic mocking pop music just seems so twee and self-conscious and completely unnecessary. Pee-Wee Herman? Really? What is that, a pop culture reference from 20 years ago? Televangelists saying stupid, insane shit? Wow. I'm surprised JR Ewing didn't show up riding on Richard Nixon's back while Fatty Arbuckle did the Charleston. Color me unimpressed.
Posted by: holbach | March 14, 2008 8:45 PM
Hey Will E: I'd love to see Fatty Arbuckle doing the
Charleston! I have a few of his films, but not of him doing that great Jazz number! I'll give YouTube a check.

Mystyk @#27:
In this sort of context, I find that it makes it easier to understand the meaning if for "woman" you substitute "CD" and for "virgin" substitute "with the shrink-wrap removed".
Posted by: Clan:Rewired | March 14, 2008 9:37 PM
Wow, she IS hot, and there are some very feisty pictures of her on their site. Cool song! I wanna be the guy sitting there with Hitchkins' book, provided that he does a little more for her than fetch beer. ^o^

Re: Thats one thing Ive never understood: Who the hell wants virgins? I want 72 whores.
Spitzer's first in line... you'll have to settle for non-professionals.
Re: the video... she's beautiful, intelligent, and sassy, but her belch was totally uninspiring, and she must've had many opportunities for a final take.
Posted by: Kevin | March 14, 2008 11:34 PM
" like this one, myself! Similar caveats apply."
and if you follow the links there is the "brinking light on VCR" video which is really, well funny. OK its a racist sterotype but it is really well done.
Posted by: Kevin | March 14, 2008 11:37 PM
"Virgins? Too much damn work."
JEEZ you are missing the whole point...
in fact, two points
1) if they are virgins they don't know how small your weiner is and what a bad lover you are....
2) if they do get knocked up you have a good chance of being the father...unless the cook boys got to them....
Posted by: Jim Flannery | March 15, 2008 12:11 AM
jsn, that's the *real* Gene Scott, I remember that particular broadcast well. (Don't tell the widow Scott or it'll just get taken down ...)
Posted by: Ichthyic | March 15, 2008 2:20 AM
1) if they are virgins they don't know how small your weiner is and what a bad lover you are....
unfortunately, no experience typically means they aren't much good at it either.
I suppose they might have studied up, but it's not the same as practical experience.
nope, give me a woman who knows what she's about, every time.

Whoever we are, wherever we're from
We shoulda noticed by now or behavior is dumb
And if our chances expect to improve
It's gonna take a lot more than tryin' to remove
The other race or the other "whatever"
From the face of the planet altogether
They call it THE EARTH which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right 'cause we behave the same
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over, yes we are
Dumb all over, near 'n far
Dumb all over, black 'n white
People, we is not wrapped tight
Nerds on the left, nerds on the right
Religious fanatics on the air every night
Sayin' the Bible tells the story
'N makes the details sound real gory
'Bout what to do if the geeks over there
Don't believe in the book we got over here
You can't run a race without no feet
'N pretty soon there won't be no street
For dummies to jog on, or doggies to dog on
Religious fanatics can make it be all gone
(I mean it won't blow up 'n disappear
It'll just look ugly for a thousand years . . . )
You can't run a country by a book of religion
Not by a heap or a lump or a smidgeon
Of foolish rules of ancient date
Designed to make you all feel great
While you fold, spindle and mutilate
Those unbelievers from a neighboring state
TO ARMS! TO ARMS!
Hooray! That's great
Two legs ain't bad unless there's a crate
They ship the parts to mama in
For souvenirs: two ears (Get Down!)
Not his, not hers (but what the hey?)
The Good Book says: "It gotta be that way!"
But their book says: "REVENGE THE CRUSADES . . .
With whips 'n chains 'n hand grenades . . . "
TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS? Have another and another
Our God says: "There ain't no other!"
Our God says "It's all okay!"
Our God says "This is the way!"
It says in the book:
"Burn and destroy
'and repent, 'n redeem 'n revenge, 'n deploy
'and rumble thee forth to the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
'Cause they don't go for what's in the book and that makes 'em BAD
So verily we must choppeth them up and stompeth them down
Or rent a nice French bomb to poof them out of existence
While leaving their real estate just where we need it
To use again
For temples in which to praise OUR GOD
("Cause he can really take care of business!")
And when his humble TV servant
With humble white hair and humble glasses
And a nice brown suit
(And maybe a blonde wife who takes phone calls)
Tells us our God says it's okay to do this stuff
Then we gotta do it,
'Cause if we don't do it,
We ain't gwine up to hebbin!
(Depending on which book you're using at the time . . . Can't use theirs . . . it don't work . . . it's all lies . . . Gotta use mine . . . )
Ain't that right?
That's what they say
Every night . . .
Every day . . .
Hey, we can't really be dumb
If we're just following God's Orders
Hey, Let's get serious . . .
God knows what he's doin' . . .
He wrote this book here
An' the book says:
"He made us all to be just like Him," so . . .
If we're dumb . . .
Then God is dumb . . .
(An' maybe even a little ugly on the side)

Whilst we're having a video link I like this terminator parody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnq7N6X4x84
Posted by: JJR | March 15, 2008 12:37 PM
It took me awhile to figure out that the singer's boyfriend/roomie (?) is reading GOD IS NOT GREAT by Christopher Hitchens during the interlude. I laughed out loud when she said "I need a beer".
She has a sweet voice, the song is funny, but it is a little grating on the ears after awhile. If there had been a line about muslims or Allah then the US Army would probably start using the song for their creepy PSYOPs work.
