Jewish Atheist here, but yep I love this fun, upbeat song by Norman Greenbaum, also Jewish, who listened to some Gospel music in 1969 and thought hey I could write a song like that. And so he did and it became a monster hit. โญ๏ธ
Funny side note. I read Jennifer Crusie’s Welcome to Temptation around Y2K and thought hey I too could write a sexy fun contemporary romance novel in a similar irreverent snarky voice. And so I did and nothing happened. ๐
Here’s the song.
These songs are for Bee’s month of music prompts. ๐น
Had this on a 45 RPM way back then.
For a Jewish boy, Norman Greenbaum’s
career had several unusual reincarnations๐

I am writing something else right now because itโs for immediate pay. An editor I worked with years ago invited me to submit a story for her new anthology, but I only have 2 weeks left.
