Over the past few months, I've realized that I now listen to the kind of music that all your mothers have programmed with their favourite "early 90's light rock 'at-work'" stations. How did this happen

Maybe not *the* antithesis of cool...bipsteriteSeptember 9 2004, 06:53:18 UTC
Excuse me, but you're going to have to fight me for that title. Last night, I listened to "I AM A C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N" as well as two other remixes of the song (which, believe it or not, exist), as well as "Jesus Freak" and "Shine" (the latter which ends "Shine Let it shine before all men; let 'em see good works and then, let 'em glorify the Lord."

If "I AM A C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N" is the song I know by that title, which proclaims, "I am a C- I am a C-H I am a C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N 'Cause I have C-H-R-I-S-T in my H-E-A-R-T And I will L-I-V-E E-T-E-R-N-A-L-L-Y cause I am a C-..." [and does so coninually, with progressive rapidity, to the point at which the singer can no longer articulate the verse]...
Then I'm afraid you don't have much of a case, because that is the coolest song to come out of Sunday school since "Go, Tell it on the Mountain."
In fact, if you could help me locate these remixes, I'd be all kinds of grateful. And you never know when the gratitude of random internet strangers might come in handy.

I was one of three soloists singing "Go, Tell it on the Mountain" in fifth grade ... I lip-synched while the other two were singing and the parents despised me cuz they thought I was a primadonna.
Anyway.
There are three CDs that I know of that it's on: Sunday School Songs (Kids Classics), Gospel Bible Songs (various artists), 25 Bible Action Songs (Songs Kids Love To Sing). The latter two aren't so much remixes as just .. the same song to a different accompaniament. But there *is* a stronger drumbeat in the last one.
None of them go psycho with the speed, though -- they just sing in progressively higher keys.
But perhaps the coolest Sunday school song (not that I've ever been to Sunday school ...) has to be "I'm in the Lord's Army" ... as it involves children expressing their regret that it's possible they may not end up shooting cannons at people.
Heh. Don't beat yourself up too much. My greatest regret in deleting Napster and Kazaa has been my inability to add to my ever-expansive collection of uncool music.
This weekend, on the way home from my roommie's hometown half a mile from the middle of Nowhere, Mary, Julia, and I had a sing-along to the best CD I've ever made, which is a mix of sappy songs from the '80s and '90s from Wilson Phillips and Whitney Houston to Celine Dion and Lisa Loeb.
Yeah. We had to make a pit-stop to get some water half way through the CD, just because our vocal cords could no longer take the abuse...
