    I recently had to endure listening to the KM songs in a car ride with a witness (JW's take every opportunity to show that they have no personality.)

    When listening to music, good music often inspires cool imagary in my head. It is a sort of game I play - figuring out what kind of movie scene a particular piece of music suits.

    Listening to the KMs though.. all I could come up with was goofy cartoon walks and scenes from Marry Poppins. The only decent bits are the brief segways between each clumbsy march.

    Love Train..... by the O'Jays... When my sis and I were teens,we told my mom the song was about the JWs. THE Lyrics talk about the brothers in Africa......My mom suddenly liked the song lol

    How awesome would it be to have a flashmob at a convention with that Uprising song? I would so be in it.

    They could also use Apocalypse Please by Muse for a more dramatic song about "the end."

    The Looney Tunes song- nice- I believe that little piece of the tune was in the song that ended with "so let us boldly witness...with our bro'erhood so dear... we will have some perils too!"

    Noooo, LittleMac - it's not the 'Be Like Jeremiah' one. The one that sounds like Looney Tunes is "Meeting In Unity" - y'know, 'How pleasant to see brothers, All dwell in unity ...."

    Procol Harum
    Still There'll Be More

    I'll bathe my eyes in a river of salt
    I'll grow myself right up to the sky
    I'll sing in the forest, tear down the trees
    I'll foul all the fountains and trample the leaves
    I'll blacken your Christmas and piss on your door
    You'll cry out for mercy, but still there'll be more

    I'll put a blight in the orchard
    I'll run wild through the fields
    I'll waylay your daughter and kidnap your wife
    Savage her sexless and burn out her eyes
    I'll blacken your Christmas and piss on your door
    You'll cry out for mercy, but still there'll be more

    They could change the name to Jehovah's day of wrath or something like that.

    I choose the end 'chase' music to the Benny Hill show.

    I imagine elders chasing a 'wrongdoer' around the Hall to get them into the Star Chamber for the unBiblical JC!

    If there was a bit more talent and emotion, some of the songs could be good. Here are a couple good renditions (IMO). The first one gave me chills. Listen to it all the way through.

    Interestingly, the guy that did those solos...now has a beard. Good for him!

    Yes, AnnOMaly, you're right. That's the song. A dead ringer for the Looney Tunes one.

    BrotherDan,

    that 111 song rendition IS awesome. That sustain is amazing. A touching melody it is.
