I don’t think I’ve fully internalized how frankly bizarre the world of suburban mega churches are. And I’m saying that as somebody who attended one as a kid.

If it weren't for the fact that this is a religious tax dodging scheme, the idea of drum corps suspended from wires is cool as fuck.

I played my drum for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

    It was written in the late 1950s. The English version is the same...

    Little Drummer Boy

    In the lyrics, the singer relates how, as a poor young boy, he was summoned by the Magi to the Nativity of Jesus. Without a gift for the Infant, the little drummer boy played his drum with approval from Jesus's mother, Mary, recalling, "I played my best for him" and "He smiled at me".

    If a Christian band were to do a cover now - I bet they'd focus more on the drums and far less on the poverty and the actual message.
