Today I had an interesting drive to work. It all started when I noticed the bumper sticker on the car in front of me that read:
Later I was behind a bus that had an ad on the back for a Christian college with the slogan:
The thing is, I think it’s cool for people who have found religion and for religious institutions to be all down with the people. Heck, maybe slogans like these will help more people find God, right?
But, maybe not.
Call me perverse, but when I saw “Get a HIGHer Education,” I thought they were talking about smoking pot. I went to OU. A lot of my classmates there got HIGHer educations.
And about Jesus rockin’ your world… (I can’t even comment on the spelling of “rox” because it’s so ridiculous.) The thing is, I think the phrase “rock my world” is sex-related. Maybe I am wrong here – it has been known to happen – but I don’t think so. I tried to find the origin of the phrase “rock my world,” but to no avail. So, I turn to music.
Michael Jackson, perhaps not the greatest person to turn to when I am trying to make a sex-related point, sang the song “You Rock My World” with JayZ on his The Number Ones album. The lyrics:
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I’m gonna give (you rocked my world)
And there ain’t nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine (you rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (girl)
And everything I’m gonna give (I want you, girl)
And there ain’t nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine
[michael jackson]
In time I knew that love would bring
This happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I waited patiently
Girl, you know it seems
My life is fully complete
Our love is true because of you
You’re doin’ what you do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who’d think that I (oh)
Have finally found the perfect love I searched for allmy life
(searched for all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who’d think I’d find
(whoa…oh…oh…)
Such a perfect love that’s so right (whoa, girl)
[chorus]
[jay-z]
H to the izzo
Make ya leave ya jerkey boy like frank rizzo
My next get bank
Jigga voice his music, forget the track
Clap, clap, clap, clap
Before we lose it, trackmasters bring it back, let’s go
Okay – now did you read all of those “Oh”s??? It has to be about sex, right? So really? Jesus rocks this man’s world?
