Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die. He's gonna recommend and your gonna go to the place that's the best you to the spirit in the sky. He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky.
Did you know this was written by Norman Greenbaum, who was born in Massachusetts and grew up in an Orthodox Jewish household and attended Hebrew school at Congregation Beth Israel?

@HumanEarth @legalboxers "Set to be a “religious-Rock” song, Jewish Norman Greenbaum used “Jesus” thinking (correctly) that it would be more marketable this way…he was right. In his own words – “I’m just some Jewish musician who really dug Gospel music. I decided there was a larger Jesus Gospel market out there than a Jehovah one.”
The singers take on the song –
“It appeals to one’s inner self and the need for redemption, plus, heck, who wants to go to hell?”
