This took a while, oh well.

So, do you like songs with religious overtones!?!?!?

Uh, well, I don't normally but this song sounds pretty darn catchy to me and so I had to pick it. It's by Jamiroquai, a band with a guy who likes to look like a viking in the middle of a rave party (who is supposedly a Buffalo man?) which has a lot of songs - a number of them are fairly much on the 'miss' side but they also has their, imo, fair share of catchy dance music.

This song in question is Jesus Starchild from the Dynamite album.

Lyrics!
Spoiler:
I've never seen the sky so angry
Starchild
You've got to do somthing about these
Mind crimes
The shuffling feet and sad expressions
They don't go, they don't go
I thought you came down from heaven
To save souls
These angry men are into making
Bad seeds
The only thing we had they're taking
Now love needs
Needs a little, needs a little
Five thousand million people
To spread joy, spread a little joy
I thought you came down from heaven to save us
I thought you came but you just don't take us

Somewhere in the world tonight
There's a fire blazing bright
Keeping warm the superman
Sent to us to save the land
Somewhere in the world today
A hungry one will kneel to pray
Wishing all the while to see
Starchild

I've seen the preachers on the TV
In white suits
With precious stones they're studded into
Their boots
Can you take the money, can you take their money?
I don't know who to believe
Is it them or you?
I thought you came down from heaven to save us
I thought you came but you just don't take us

Somewhere in the world tonight
There's a fire blazing bright
Keeping warm the superman
Sent to us to save the land
Somewhere in the world today
A hungry one will kneel to pray
Wishing all the while to see
Starchild
Starchild
Got to see him now

When you gonna come, when you gonna come
You've got to save us from what we've begun
From what we've begun
So long coming down
Starchild

Somewhere in the world tonight
There's a fire blazing bright
Keeping warm the superman
Sent to us to save the land
Somewhere in the world today
A hungry one will kneel to pray
Wishing all the while to see
Starchild

Somewhere in the world tonight
In the world tonight
Somewhere in the world tonight
In the world tonight
You know that somewhere in the world tonight
There's a superman
There's a superman and he's coming down to see you, baby
There's a superman coming
There's a superman coming



It has a fairly catchy bass, imo. One of those that are better with headphones too, but the bass and general tempo and feel from their songs are quite good when they get it together. So if you want upbeat music I'd certainly suggest checking them out.

    That it is. Always my favourite part of Jamiroquai music, the beat.
