Videos: The Manna Tease's FIRST GIG - 8 April 2011

It was very dark at this show on Russell St, Berkeley. But I'll post these dark videos of a couple of the songs we sang, because it was our FIRST GIG! & the sound quality is in HD.

The classic novelty song Dead Puppies! in memory of the beloved house dog's recent passing:
It's a Snoopy Snoopy Poop Doggy Ratty Rat World. This song (with lyrics) previously discussed here. Our demo mp3 of this song & others for sale here.

Another from our corn whiskey set, the song "Corn Liquor" by Well Strung. See our useful How To Make Corn Liquor SONGBOOK for lyrics & chords.

And finally, Jesus Christ is a Big Fat Man & Bleck Ram. Please "like" The Manna Tease on facebooks here! If you missed us on Russell St, we'll play again soon!

Jesus Christ is a big fat man - The Manna Tease Special Single B-Side

And, as a B-Side to "It's a Snoopy Snoopy Poop Doggy Ratty Rat World," here's a spicy new homemade studio demo of "Jesus Christ is a big fat man." My mother pointed out that Jesus Christ was a skinny man, but I say, teach the controversy.

This recording includes the fourth verse that Minnie Mary Molly wrote, "Jesus Christ had his own cooking show, &c..." Here we go:

Yes, this song is also available FOR SALE, for $0.99, as well as "It's a Snoopy &c...," at this Manna Tease store here.

Jesus Christ is a big fat man

Next, an original song called "Jesus Christ is a big fat man." We don't court controversy, but it is our cross to bear to be the carriers of truth-bearing crosses. And Necessity, that fickle goddess. Also, this song was inspired by the Fat, Happy Buddha, who is not the Bodhisattva but a future, fatter, happier Buddha. I thought, Christianity needs one of those:

Here are the lyrics & chords:

Jesus Christ is a big fat man

D f#min A
Jesus Christ was resurrected,
D f#min A
Died & came back, as was expected.
G A
When you rise from hell, you know what you want?
G emin A
You head straight for the first restaurant.

G bmin A f#min

Jesus Christ is a big fat man,

G bmin A f#min

He eats as much as he possibly can.

G bmin A f#min

Eats like he knows the world can’t last.

G emin A

You can follow him - he’s not going fast.

Jesus Christ walked into a bar
With a ninja & a rabbi & a Bollywood star.
A guy in the corner called them a bunch of fairies.
But Christ forgave him, & ordered a round of Bloody Marys.

Jesus Christ would feed the hungry,
But he also would feed his big rumbly belly.
He could feed the multitudes with loaves & fishes,
But he also knew dozens of other delicious dishes.

Additional verse by Minnie Molly Mary:

Jesus Christ got his own cooking show,
Where he would make his world famous cookie dough,
His speciality sauces, and complex fondues.
Challenge him to a cook-off, and you’re bound to lose.

Jesus Christ is a Liberal Democrat

"Jesus Christ is a Big Fat Man" has not yet hit the singles charts, but Colbert last night took on the age-old dichotomy of Christ's beliefs vs. Christ's followers' beliefs. (The anti-Socialist Christians clearly haven't read the beginning of Acts, where the apostles set up a hippie commune. Nor, for that matter, basically anything Christ said in red.)
