Greenbaum due to poor choices, ended up working as a cook in a restaurant and got "fired" by his boss after calls came in to the restaurant from reporters asking him about the popularity of the song after another version of it went to #1.

Jesus was a Jew, and a rock star.

If I get to have a funeral...that’s the song I want played, loud, like really loud as they lower me into the grave.

Heh. I looked him up. He has the best of album out. From 1997. Gee. A whole album. With just one song on it.

Bookmark for later. One of my all-time favorite songs and I'm sure the story behind it will be fascinating.

Norman had a follow-up single called "Canned Ham" and it charted. So not quite a one-hit wonder but close to it.

It’s a good song. Petaluma is the former home of the arm wrestling championships on ABC’s Wide World of Sports. Maybe it still is for all I know.

A tune heard repeatedly on rock stations in north Texas.
Rock on, rock hard, rock loudly. Impossible to simply listen as it MOVES you into the beat. Reminiscent of the
comedy “Night at the ROXBURY”.

Did wonders for Youngkin’s rally in Virginia.

I wouldn’t call it the “greatest”, but it certainly had a cool groove to it.

No surprise here.

Don’t forget...about that time in USA there was the “Jesus” movement...so there were songs coming out with Christian themes...don’t forget Jesus Christ, Superstar play and movie and Godspell...hijacked Christian theology..neglecting salvation from sin and eternal separation from God.
