Today we have videos from a couple of real pros. both taken From public access Channels... and you know what kind of freak shows come from public access...
So 'ere we go!
Contestant number one is John Daker, An amateur singer from Peoria Illinois , Who apparently stood in for the pastor of The First United Methodist church. He is accompanied by the charming Rena Unsicker (who has since passed on to be with The Lord.) This video has become extremely popular on the Internet, as people have created many remixes, and spoofs... He has t-shirts available and even appeared on The first cycle of the VH1 T.V. show "Web Junk 20." So without further delay, John Daker, with his video hit "Christ The Lord Is Risen Today/That's Amore!
I am gonna be dead honest with you... I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Mr. Daker is a blessing, if for no other reason, than that I laugh myself sick every time I listen to this . You think that Rena's 55 years of teaching could include a few minutes of teaching lyrics? Hmmmm... Either John had a serious brain lapse, or he did not know the lyrics to the songs...But the fact that He slugged it out without not so much as a blush shows he is a real trooper.
Highlights from the video for me were:
1. The Eyebrows...bobbin' up and down as he sings...
2. 1:52 seconds into the video where , for a split second, he actually sounded like Dean Martin
(Dits... Your In LOVE!!!)
3. The "serial killer" looks toward the end of the song. (2:01 and 2:07) Classic. This video is to
me, proof that God has a scene of humor.
This next video is is by Waggoner the giraffe, as he sings the 91 Psalm...Sigh... Just give it a listen...I am sure you will be blessed.
You gotta love the passed out panda bear that falls from the pulpit while Waggoner "Comes Alive" I guess that's what you get for drinking all the communion wine... It seems that, like Mr. Daker, Waggoner has a problem jumping the gun at the beginning of the song, but he later proves his vocal prowess as he sustains a note, which sounds like Pavorotti on an acid trip...
For the life of me I can not figure out how the goofy guy in the gold hat kept a straight face through this video...
Waggoner the giraffe is one of the characters of David Unger Hart (or Liebe Hart) a street performer, actor and artist who made a name for himself using a series of worn out hand puppets. He claimed to star in several T.V. shows, "Wings", "Chico and the Man"and "Golden Girls," Among others. He also claims that Jim Henson was his Christian Science Sunday school teacher and inspiration, and to top it off he believes he was abducted by space aliens. This video comes from a Jr. Christian Science Bible Show played on a Los Angeles public access Channel. now if I haven't given you enough reasons to avoid this like the plague. Feel free to search YouTube for some of his other works... They are a video cornucopia of weirdness...
So there we have it, another funny , weird, wonderful, and zany addition to the
WORSHIP MUSIC BATTLE OF THE BANDS!
