Spirit in the Sky

Back to the early days of Ted Tocks Covers.

55 years ago today #NormanGreenbaum was at #1 with this song aiming to mock televangelism.

β€œPrepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky”

Norman Greenbaum, "Spirit in the Sky" (1969)

"Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best …"
