:: the new rick roll

roll over, rick astley! there's a new sheriff in town, and this video has a great jesus message too! that's right, i'm talking about the next internet phenomena entitled "jesus is a friend of mine" by the band sonseed. wow. this song will get stuck in your head, i promise. it's got everything the original rick roll had ::

• a strange musician

• a strange song

• the power of hypnosis over its viewers, causing an inability to turn away

plus, it adds

• ska

• pink backgrounds

• a strange guitarist

• the line "he is like a mounty / he always gets his man / and he'll zap you anyway he can / zap!

• the gospel

you'll just have to watch it...

ok, snap out of it! come back to me! stay with me! avert your eyes!

what did you think? all i'm saying is, the link for that video is :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-NOZU2iPA8&NR=1. next time you're chatting with someone on aim or msn, just insert that link...

it should be noted that david crowder recently covered this song in one of the services at ubc in waco...

and i have to say, i don't hate it...

more to come... hopefully no more of that.
