A few days ago, in discussing Ypsi’s Heritage Fest parade, I mentioned that folks on one church float were performing a super-Christianated version of Toto’s hit song “Roseanna” entitled “Hosanna.” Well, I put the word out that I was looking for video documentation of the rolling redeemed rocktrocity, and, thankfully, a courageous reader by the name of Jill stepped forward…. So, here it is in all its glory. Enjoy!

That dog has an absolutely amazing voice.
That dog looks just like the one I had growing up, only she had more black on her face. Australian shepherd, right?
I miss you, Heidi!
Who knew that evangelism and 1980s arena rock could be so beautifully entwined???
Still waiting for “Hold the line…Jesus is always on time…”
Yep, he’s an Aussie. Poorly bred (when two merles are bred you get too much white in an Aussie, often leading to health problems, though he missed that bullet) but very much loved. He’s almost 11 years old but still peppy as a two year old.
What a sweetie — my Aussie, Pepper, lived to be 16 years old, incredibly. Still opening the front door and escaping out windows into his final year of life. What a mensch he was!!!
What is wrong with these people?
Do you mean people who videotape their dogs, or people who rework Toto songs to pay tribute to God?
(And, just kidding, Jill. I think you’ve got a fine dog, worthy of taping.)
“Hosanna” was good, but, if they really wanted to impress me, they’ll pick something a little more challenging next time…. Let’s see them delve deep into the the canon of punk rock.
“Sex and Violence,
is really bad,
unless in marriage,
or God’s own judgement…”
…or how ’bout:
“Don’t riot, don’t wanna riot, don’t riot, cause I’m really content.”
This is easy.
Where’s the giant Dirty Bros. cat when we need it?!
“Salvation gonna pick me back up, yeah… one thing that I can depend on…” [Op Ivy]
“One law for them, one law for them, one law for them, and he fulfilled it on the cross!” [4 Skins]
Wow, I’ve got a gift.
My wife walked in the parade (I better not say who with), behind this float. She said they also did a version of “Stairway to heaven”. She said they were so loud, it was very annoying.
My friend in California has met some of Toto, so I passed this along, hopefully there will be a copyright lawsuit soon!
Because well-meaning local churches being sued is totally awesome!
