Secular Saturday Sing-a-long



Lyrics: 
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than to sit around and talk to you
And reminice about a simpler time
The music that we made
Was simple but it stayed
In my memory and 
On my mind

Dancin' on daddy's shoes
Dancin' all around the room
Rollin' the rug up
kickin' our heels up
Dancin' away the blues
Sister would clap along
Everyone would sing a song
Playin' homemade music
dancin' on daddy's shoes

There's something bout this musty room
That makes me reel and it 
Makes me swoon
That strange perfume is one of a kind
The rhythm takes me back
When I hear that rap-pa-tap
There's no nicer feeling that I can find

Dancin' on daddy's shoes
Memories you'll never loose
Dancin' away the blues
Sentimental memories
Dancin' on daddy' shoes

Dancin' on daddy' shoes

Dancin' on daddy's shoes
Dancin' all around the room
Rollin' the rug up
kickin' our heels up
Dancin' away the blues
Sister would clap along
Everyone would sing a song
Playin' homemade music
dancin' on daddy's shoes

Oh, dancin' on daddy's shoes

Calvinistic Cartoons Theme Song by Persis



Play the above if you don't know the tune.

Here are the lyrics to the CC theme song:

Hey all you baby boomers
In desperate need of humor
This isn't just a rumor
Read Calvinist Cartoons

Theology, Cool graphics
In one neat tidy package
You'll laugh and get a side stitch
At Calvinist Cartoons

Fun!
Puns!
Bar none!

So join Corky Velveeta
He'll be so glad, I tells ya
Come on you gals and fellas
Read Calvinist Cartoons!

Post-Modern Meaning

A lot of you may remember the old Dick Van Dyke show on CBS. Those who watched it, loved it. It was one of the greats. You can still view entire episodes on YouTube and other places on the internet.

I found the lyrics, the other day, written by the comic genius, Morey Amsterdam. It struck me as I read them that many churches today could use these words as their theme. I can just see Joel Osteen or Ed Young Jr. walking out on stage and tripping. What a laugh that would bring to their congregations.

What do you think?



THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW THEME SONG
(Music by Earle Hagen / Lyrics by Morey Amsterdam)

So you think that you've got troubles?
Well, trouble's a bubble,
So tell old Mr. Trouble to "Get lost!"
.
Why not hold your head up high and,
Stop cryin', start tryin',
And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed.

When you find the joy of livin'
Is lovin' and givin'
You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed.

A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down,
So smile, and that frown will defrost.
And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed!

Facets of Grace: Something a Little Different


Facets of Grace: Something a Little Different: This is a song I wrote a few years back to the tune of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Caught in the Crossfire". At the end of this song is a link to ...

Fan Photo from Tabitha Movinhobben

$7,000 is being sent to Tabitha Movinhobben for her photo of my grandmother (standing) and her friend, Libby Fatoosh, as they sing during a break from the filming of an old Christian movie entitled, "Judge Me Not Fair Lassie". There is a note scribbled on the back that reads, "Met Corky today. He was on his way to the Macy's parade."

A New Hymn from an Emergent Hymnal

Pictured above is the new hymnal from Rob Bell's second cousin on his mother's side, Vern Mayfly, who edited the volume and wrote sixteen of the songs featured in the book. There is a hidden message in each of the "hymns" and this one is no exception:

Jesus help me grab the rope
Only you can toss me hope
Heaven is for all they say
Never to leave and go away
Christ helped me up when I was down
All souls are lost, all souls are found
Love wins big time in eternity now
Very soon everybody will choose to bow
I know my heart will love again
Never to sin against tree or men
Hell is really no place to fear
All who die will not go there
Devils and demons might stay awhile
Nobody else will walk that mile
Once people die they'll see the light
Closed eyes will open to the sight of
Love in sandals, robe and crown
Until that day we'll walk around
Ever witnessing to His love come down (hey nani nani and a hot cha cha)

So, as you can see, their theology is twisted, sister. Be warned.

Strike Up the Band


Here is a fabulous, big band sounding tribute (lyrics only - you supply the big band sound with your imagination) to Against Calvinism, by Peterson, Eddings and Cardwell. Persis, formerly known as Pilgrim Mommy, wrote this tune for her very creative blog "Invasion of the Tune Snatchers". Click HERE and enjoy!

And All That Jazz


On a good note, the Baptists who made this album repented a week after it's release. Their follow-up album will be out in July. They promised to tithe their profits...if they don't backslide again.

The Tulip 5 Quintet


Found this old photo of a music ensemble I was a part of before starting Calvinistic Cartoons. We recorded a Gospel album we entitled, "It's Absolutely Free!" - hence, people got the wrong message and just walked out of the store with our album under their arms. Our second album was entitled, "It Cost Everything" and this time no one even attempted to purchase one. We went our separate ways after that. See if you can spot anyone you might recognize in the photo. They all became successful and each one made a few albums of their own.
