There are folks who find this record totally mystifying. And understandably so. On most levels, the lyrics make absolutely no sense at all.
But ya see, it's a 'Christian' record [whatever that means], and a damned catchy one at that. In fact, it's a bit of an ear-worm. That's why it gets plays, right?
Now, I can't say I'm privy to any special knowledge, but I do know that the title, "G O 2 And The Rest Of It", is a coded, 'Christian', way of saying 'go to hell'......which presumably helps clear up some of the mystery.....but still, there's that mandolin which after repeated plays continues to confound......
In short, this is comes from out in left field.
Myra Cormier is currently the choir director of a very large, well-known, evangelical church in Houston, Texas.
Consider yourself lucky if this tune doesn't stick in your head for at least a week.........
Drugs. Perhaps "Xian" drugs, but drugs nonetheless! Whoa.
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange record! I'm not so sure that there is a mandolin though....I hear a slightly out-of-tune piano and guitar playing together.
ReplyDeleteYou may be right, though it still sounds somewhat like a mandolin. Certainly it makes for an odd beginning to the record. I think we can all agree on that.
Deleteit sounds like two records being played at once.
