As Christianity Today reports, a new worship-style “gag song” is getting quite popular on YouTube.
The anonymous tune, “I Think I’m Gonna Throw Up (My Hands To The Lord),” had been circulating for awhile when Brentwood-Benson Music Publishing snapped it up for their collection Crazy Praize 3.
Ed Kee, one of the masterminds behind the Crazy Praize series, says he would love to find the original writer. “All that money of course is held in an account waiting for somebody to come along and prove they wrote the song,” Kee said.
Comments on YouTube include “This is apart of the great falling away…”, “Praising God through song is wonderful. But this is just horrible,” and the more positive “How cute! At first I thought ‘Oh my goodness, what is this.’ But this is super cute. I teach Children’s Church and I am going to definitely use this song
“
So is this satire, or is this genuine? Do you think this could be a useful camp song, or is it “just plain stupid” as one of the highest-rated comments on YouTube said? For the Sunday school teachers or clergy out there, would you use a song like this?
