Coming as a Ghost fan now they did a cover, I bet Phill would approve.. both masterpieces.
Of course he approved…how else would he have been aloud to sing the song.
@@mrminkman952 you don't need approval to make covers....
The Ghost version sucks shit
@@KnallenN yeah, you kinda do, lol. In order to record a cover and make money from it you do.
Perioddd!
*Bands like Genesis really stood the test of time*
My fave Genesis song (Phil Collins on vocals era) is Mama.
Peter Gabriel on vocals era it is I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
@@craigwhyte7273Abacab live at Wembley is special.
I couldn't agree more, Genesis and especially Phil Collins are absolute legends 🏴🏴🏴🏴☮️🎸😁😆🇺🇲
Nothing has changed, 1991 or 2020. Arguably Genesis' most catchy song.
Religion has a proven template for leadership wealth. This is timeless and will last until people wake up and stop going
@Abbas Abdullah Jesus rejects no one. John 10:16 "I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd."
A lot has changed in 2020, one example is that people now believe that a piece of cloth can stop viruses, second example is that people believe in a sickness which has no symptoms what so ever.
@Abbas Abdullah You see, Jesus talked to me (well i talked to Jesus my whole life) and he said it is alright.
Try "Invisible Touch". Play it in a set after ANYTHING and it breaks through like a breath of fresh air and gets feet tapping instantly.
Ive always loved this song and after i came to a believer i understood more clearly what Genesis tries to say by this. They are not attacking against Jesus but these ugly preachers who only are trying to get rich
Exactly. It's about those TV-Preachers who make a lot of money with it. Cash is their only religion. They don't care about Jesus, just about themselves.
It's realy more about gnostic theists in general. The TV priests are just the most obvious example to point towards.
@@riccardinac6777 There is no jesus, no god. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
@@noquarter9700 I'm sorry to disappoint you, but noone cares what you believe (and noone asked).
@@LPVince94 Phil said on the tour of that album, prior to playing this song, that it was specifically about televangelists. th-cam.com/video/g4How03JRqo/w-d-xo.html
As a Christian, some days I feel ashamed for liking this song so much, other days I'm convinced Jesus would agree with them.
Welcome to the real world
That’s totally okay, don’t forget that you are a human who is searching 😊
No need to be ashamed, tv evangelists are parasites.
i wouldn't fit jesus and those kinds of bozoz in the same sentence, keep your faith hig brother!
If you're an actual Christian, you should be entirely in favour of this song... it's not mocking religion, it's mocking the veneer of religion used to extract money from the gullible.
Genesis and Ghost together... God, I wish my dad was still alive, he was a massive Genesis fan and he'd have loved their cover. Absolutely fantastic, both of them!!!

@@Gbonejohn1974 The reason why he's one of the biggest selling, most influential and popular singers is... wait for it... because of his singing.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." - Jesus (Matthew 6:24)
and yet here we are
An apocryphal quote at best. Certainly written by a known liar and fraudster.
@@peaceraybob Citation needed.
As a non religious person this quote is making me really think about some stuff👍
"You cannot serve both God and money." Yet churches have collection plates.... "Get on your knees and start paying"
I wouldn't be surprised if Jesus would appreciate this song and it's message.
I think Jesus would like this song.
He is alive!!
Not that I dare consider what he would like, but I agree!!!
Well, I do....
the song takes the piss out of religion.
You people have some serious issues.
I remember listening to this song on the car radio being probably 8 years old with my parents in the front, at night, slowly relaxing on the back seat, looking with one eye at the road ahead, feeling nice and safe , not having to worry about anything. That was such a good time.
Same, was a Genesis fan daughter 😁
Same here it brings back memories of being in the car with my parents too when I was young. But at the time my Dad was living in Germany and they have no speed limits on their autobahns so we was going at over 150mph in a bmw M5 with this song playing lol. Good times.
ur belly full and all was nice, then came pokemon and the whole world :P nice memry though
I was born in Kazakhstan and in the early 90s we often saw Genesis clips on an old tube TV. How long ago was that. I still listen to Phil Collins
As my gran used to say when my mother was about to deliver a whooping...leave him, he'll have it hard enough when he's older
If you have Ghost, you have everything.

@@mrminkman952 jajja si
even after over 30 years still sounds as good as it did on day one when i heard it, melody, lyrics, rhythm, just brilliant
Synth sound a bit outdated.
When I went to a catholic primary school, a teacher used this song in class, entirely missing the irony.
Your comment is gold
hahahahaha
It's like the fascists using the Dead Kennedys songs, or the war maniatics with Muse songs.
Dumb people are just dumb.
grrizo Even better: at a "world conference of religions" in Antwerp, Belgium a few years ago, the interfaith choir performed John Lennon's Imagine including the verse "Imagine there's no heaven/ It's easy if you try/ Nothing to kill or die for/ Above us only sky"

As a European, well Brit (bit of a mute point that!) it amazes us as to why America still has this obsession with religion?

Not at all but most European nations are secular at best & mostly atheist in reality.

You are more that welcome to believe in what you want albeit that most religions have sinister & unhealthy doctrines attached to them but your kind is very much in the descendance & do you know what else? Some of the happiest most successful societies on the planet like the Scandinavian states are atheist whilst some of the most desperate & dire countries on the globe are highly religious!

@@bruces6347 this Song is satire, right?
This song is about televangelism and manipulation. It is satire indeed.
there is someone waiting for you^^
Glory to God
phil collins is one of the best natural comedy actors of the world, he is so funny
There should be a law requiring this song to be played at least once every 45 minutes on all channels broadcasting televangelist nonsense.
The problem is that people who watch that channels won't stop paying :(
+Mihalis Benko yeaaah but they might not get the message.. .
+Asghfvz At least they would pay for something that worth it. (I mean the song)
Jesus himself would approve of this song,he hated liars and money changers and hypocrites.
I'm not sure they'd even get the point xD
Phil Collins looks like a hybrid of Joe Pesci and Robin Williams in this one :P
i see the Robin Williams thing but not the Joe Pesci sorry ^^
Lol, he does.
Phil Collins with glasses looks like the german comedian Heinz Ehrhardt.
I remembered Jim Jones.
I thoung that he look like Robin williams too!
It's so weird that so many decades on people still fall for these TV preacher conmen and conwomen

Seems like a pretty good comparison to many televangelists.
+Bible Flock Box I'm glad you enjoyed the song BFB. I thought the subject of Televangelists must be addressed to an extent on your channel when I thought of sharing this with you. My research shows that the amount of money they make is making the fraudsters I've seen on TV look like peanuts. BTW pause at 2:09 and look at the top left of the magazine in the video. Illuminati confirmed???
+Bible Flock Box televangelicalism is way better than islam.
to everything from tv news and most from internet
I'm happy that we don't have stuff like that in france XD
Sorry but now You have much more of other stuff. Not cool stuff in Your France. I'm glad I do not have anything of the above in Poland.
As a Christian, I love this song. Nothing like showing up the hypocrisy of Evangelicals. 👍👍
So no one's an Orthodox?
@James Hodson - Are you serious you guys started that sweet chariot chant??? Awesome!!
I'm from a jewish family my dad used to play gensis when I was young!!!!! Most of the preacher are fake and rely on innocent people who follow god..these people should be ban from all television channels and they don't follow god at all
@Left is Best Speaking of hypocrisy... You know what they say, every time you have a finger pointed at someone, you have 3 pointing back at you. You don´t get to extricate yourself out of that pickle jar, you are one and the same. Religion is poison. All of it.
Number one song, every sunday at the scientology meeting,... irony are used in this sentence. :). Hi Tom . C ;) .
Gracias Ghost por acercar a más gente a la bandota que es Genesis. Respeto para ambas.
would you have known this song without ghost?
@@shaded82 as a person who doesn't hear the kind of music that Genesis does, nop, I would never
@@shaded82yes, of course I would. I'm a young fan of Genesis since I hear them in the Brother bear movie 😚.
Both are great and I was so happy when Ghost give us a cover of this song.
@@shaded82I wouldn't, English is not my first language and i found about ghost in a very random way lol. Glad i found them tho, genesis is cool too!

They need to put the full intro back into this. "The lord actually talks to me ya know, I hear what's being said and he said to me, 'get me 18million dollars by the weekend' " :D
Yassss dammit!
lmaoooo thats so good!!! :D i have been singing this song for 10 years but never heard it ;;
to everyone who has comprehension Problems: this isnt a mockery of christianity,but of tv priests who dont act according to it
True!
Most christians are not happy with these scammers, it gives the religion a faul taste.
I can know it, I was a christian.
(I was once a christian but other happenings made me searching for truth, not that I gave it up just after hearing a song...)
@@lukevortex1037 im a Christian but not part of the church anymore,as i dont see them acting as they should

I really like this song
I remember in the 80s, that when we found out my younger brother is autistic, a lot of our Christian neighbours totally blamed it on our religion (we are Hindus) and even offered to take my brother to a pastor to "heal and remove the devil" from him. They used to stuff our mailbox with flyers about the true coming or something. It really gave me a lot of motivation to blast this song loudly whenever I could. Though they probably didn't understand the irony.
Phil is a great actor in this video
Better than his acting in Buster!
My favourite line in this song is: "If you want to get closer to him, get on your knees and start payin' " lol
It goes by so fast it's easy to miss the lack of an "r" in the last word, but yes. Brilliant turn of phrase. :)
I always thought it was praying with an r
MY STOMACH TURNS.
this R might have turned «celibate» back into «celebrate»…
I always heared "praying" lol
To me this song is thé poster child of the 90's. Simply one of the best, funniest, meaningful and catchy tunes ever made, exposing tv evangelists while at it. Can't listen it without singing along.
Ghost brought me here and I've been listening to both versions the Whole Easter Sunday. My neighbors are also enjoying it, heheh.
Genesis were one of the greatest band of all time.They could play everything .Rock,fusion,jazz,pop.All Genesis members were master of music.They were underrated from the so-called journalist,or the so-called experts of nothing.

This song never gets old...
With more and more desperate "believers" its getting younger and younger.. At least where i come from priests and politicians are so filthy rich that common people with PHDs and other college degrees have to flee to US or EU to get themselves piece of bread and decent life. Our churches are covered with gold, both outside and inside, services are filled with hate speech, homophobia, xenophobia and scientophobia especially. Such a fucked up place and nothing has been changing for the past thirty years or so. Both my parents died aged sixty and I just cant wait to leave this place of absolute horror.
Never 🙂

I am so excited!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥
This song is going make a very big come back!!!

I lived in South Africa when this came out. The pastors in their safari suits driving his & hers Mercedes were rife. This song was spot on.
And now we have a whole new generation of them coming in from Nigeria ...
They didn't wear safari suits in the UK just suits. But the Religious Right and the prosperity gospel had reached the UK a few years before.

I just spent the last five years as a deeply motivated antichristian sort of missionary, then something just changed inside of me and I decided to trust not only Jesus but also God again. Like a few weeks ago, i would still have told you that I hate Christianity with all my blood but then I suddenly decided to get vaccinated, become a Christian and and get rid of my goth boyfriend. I think being together a few months with a depressed goth must have been what fixed me? Still stuck on wanting to praise the God by proclaiming Hail Satan but I'm sure it will settle once I figured out who to hail as the first angel of God, bringer of justice, in Christianity. Think they renamed him to Michael or something?
Edit: I just remembered today! Christians say Halleluja which basically means Hail God 😅

Lyrics:
You see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday
See that face on the billboard
That man is me
On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
Don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me
'Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright
I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God
'Cause that's what I'm selling
And if you wanna go to heaven
I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house
Or get outta your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
'Cause I'm everywhere
And Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well he's been telling me
Everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practicing what I'm preaching
Won't find me making no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Just do as I say, don't do as I do
I'm counting my blessings,
I've found true happiness
'Cause I'm getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away
There'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying
If you want to get closer to him
Get on your knees and start paying
'Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh, yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well he's been telling me
Everything's gonna be alright
'Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Ooh, yes he knows me and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
And he's been telling me everything's gonna be alright, alright
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know

This song is a satirical take on televangelism directed at several televangelists of that period such as Jim Baker, Larry Lea and Benny Hinn abusing the faith of their followers and making false promises to the gullible - good song !!!
"Beware of false prophets in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves. :- (
(Matthew 7 : 15, and 24 : 24") -
Here, there and everywhere these days.
But ... "Fear not little flock ... ." (Luke 12 : 32) :-))
Lorraine Ashby - Could also be applied to many in mainstream evangelical places today that deal with the "Signs and Wonders" stuff in this day and age. It's quite a timely song.
Yeah, this song is a perfect parody to those people.
Most of them have not even read the bible

Brilliant lyrics “get on your knees and start paying“. Much praise deserved!
I play this song when they ask me to work Sundays and I say no, cause Jesus, He knows me and He knows I'm right

And He's been tellin' me everything is alright
1:10 that smile 😂 I love Phil Collins
somehow i don't trust that smile, it's just to nice... XD
It was on a divine visitation, that the Lord told me that I was to go on the television. I was lying on the bed and the bed began to go around, and I had the sensation like I was on a merry-go-round. And then the furniture joined in and then I was in the stars! There were stars everywhere; above me, below me, to the left of me, to the right of me. Millions and millions of stars and the Lord said ‘the stars are the souls that you will win for me.’
The Lord actually talks to me, you know, I hear what’s being said, and he said to me ‘Get me the original version of this video’, and the Angel of the Lord stands by my side and speaks into my ear and it’s a beautiful thing and I hear what’s being said. It’s a marvellous, marvellous experience; I never thought such a thing could happen - in the name of Jesus!
And the Lord spoke to me: he said ‘Stretch forth your hands, TELL the people to put their hands against yours, and I will heal them. Get me the unedited video by the weekend. TOUCH THE SCREEN, TOUCH THE SCREEN!’
2:00 Pure shame, Phil Collins is talking, but in this censored video we can not hear what he said.
Without the music video, the sarcasm and satire of this song might be lost on some people.
It's a great song, but I could imagine a sincere Christian Music recording of it by people with no clue.
As a Christian and evangelist myself, Phil is not in any way making fun of our faith. He is merely showing in his video how the evangelist Pastor leaders in the US actually promote faith to make themselves rich, by people who really believe what they are listening to, and how handing over their hand earned cash benefits that Pastor leader. I am not offended by his interpretation, it's a funny video, and of course, Phil never fails to be the forever showman.
Moi perso je suis offensée.
This is a British band reaction to American Televangelism shows.

I was 11 when this jewel came out. My parents had good taste in music and believed in telling it like it is, so I listened to Genesis right along with them.

and if you wanna get to heaven
I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house
or get outta your chair
you don't even have to touch that dial
cos I'm everywhere
And Jesus he knows me
and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
oh yes he knows me
and he knows I'm right
well he's been telling me
everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practising what I'm preaching
won't find me making no sacrifice
but I can get you a pocketful of miracles
if you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
just do as I say, don't do as I do
I'm counting my blessings,
I've found true happiness
cos I'm getting richer, day by day
you can find me in the phone book,
just call my toll free number
you can do it anyway you want
just do it right away
There'll be no doubt in your mind
you'll believe everything I'm saying
if you wanna get closer to him
get on your knees and start paying
Cos Jesus he knows me
and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
oh yes he knows me
and he knows I'm right
well he's been telling me
everything's gonna be alright, alright
Jesus he knows me
Jesus he knows me, you know...
Yes finally found lyrics. Thank you!
That's a lot of text compared to pop songs from nowadays
I am pretty sure jesus knows about genesis. I heard him talking about it.
So underrated comment
Some say his daddy wrote It.
Very clever. 😂
and on 8 day god said let there be phil collins !
Damn, you were there hearing Jesus talk? *irony*
Ezekiel 34: 1- 10 . Thanks for doing the Lords work in rebuking dodgy preachers Phil Collins & crew! ❤
Phil Collins Voice Still Is As Great Today In 2024. So Timeless !.
Love It 👍 . 💙🇬🇧

Argentina prov salta lo mejor por dios
Одесса, рили?

Вот это нежданчик))
I know Jesus and he told me that he likes this song
I also know Jesus, and he told me he really liked your comment.
DrParanoidAndroid I also know Jesus, and He said nothing about this😂
Great story man do you know superman aswell?
All I know I gave thumbs up for all of you, you and the replies, all I know that it is right.
Cheers...
I also know Jesus, he was my cell mate, funny guy, great sense of humor.
Vim através do Ghost que acabou de publicar uma versão mais profana dessa música. ❤❤
Já gostava demais desta música e o Ghost me fez voltar no tempo com essa regravação. Top!!
Eu não conhecia, que triste realidade, mas é isso mesmo!!
As a guitarist in charismatic church I can tell you this is 100% true
the song is an absolute banger btw just as Ghost version is.
Is hilarious and it shows with a great sense of irony and humour the truth of people who use Jesus to get money and become rich. I can,t find a better way to condem injustice that with sense of humour. And music. So great.
Agreed. If only people made music with lyrics along the same lines delivering an eye opening message.

After 30 years i still remember lyrics :) thats amazing, LOVE THIS SONG :-)
And not just to this Genesis song....
i want this to be me in 20 yrs😊
God said, 80's will be one of the best decades of all times if not the best, and boom, all what happened in those years, even the bad, bad the word of God says we don't have to stay in the past because all is ciclical, and tomorrow will be better than yesterday if you believe in Him. Talking about the topic this songs touches, i recognize there are many organizations stealing money from people promising miracles, but God is real and there are many congregations where you can confirm God's word. Jesus is real, but he is not like man thinks he is, he is more than it, the men can not imagine how great, beautiful, wonderful is our God, you have to know him, the most special being in the Universe, the true love, is him.
i am here by ghost , to check and compare , holy shit what a song !!! :D
These songs never get old and still sound fresh , genesis one of best of English music groups
this song fits pretty well with career politicians just as much as with televangelists

exactly right!! current day politicians are far worse
Especially Democrats
@@holzmann- not just democrats, both sides play the two-party game for voters by day and party together like nothing is going on by night
The verse at 3:05 sums up everything with modern day politicians:
"And there'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying
If you wanna get closer to Him
Get on your knees and start paying"
I wonder how many believers thought this song is about how good churches are, and how good religion is placed in society. Nowadays TV priests going for 200 Millions and a business jet.
I didn't fully understand this song as I was a lot younger at the time of release.
But I totally get it now. A true masterpiece.
Get on your knees and start paying - genius! Always come back to this song it’s so catchy!
Phil Collins ❤️
Genesis are criminally underrated
Who have ever underrated them??
What planet are you from. Genesis have been massive for the last 40 years. Every incarnation they have ever had they have gotten bigger and better.
Not at all.
Not really, they made tens of millions and received a ton of awards
"underrated" is not the word in this case. You mean "seen as a joke".
This song is now covered by ghost band and I'm here because of that
One time they left the door open while they were counting the money they dumped on the floor from the offering plates. After I saw that, I doubted everything I thought I knew about church and religion.
Jesus would have loved this song. It's all about denouncing false prohets, denouncing vanity and greed.
@Way to Mars you have a lot of hate it seems. maybe try reading the bible instead of spreading lies about it
Do as I say, don't do as I do: sums up organised religion perfectly.
That's exactly why Jesus is a relationship not a religion
@@86rix jesus is a myth.
@@DAGATHire that's your loss, my deepest sympathy goes to you 🙏♥️
@@86rix thank you, i don't miss it frankly... no more than i would miss worshiping something like harry potter.. tho the later is frankly more believable. But also... with respect you are welcome to your faith... just don't spread it around like cancer. its yours. keep i close, enjoy it. INDEED! cherish it. but like an STD warn people you have it first! cos.... it's DANGEROUS to spread that stupid shit around.
@@86rix meh. remember what i said. its an STD... tell people you have it. let the other person decide if they are interested in your stupid crap. it's the honourable thing to do. ciao. "friend"
Anyone noticed the pictures of Mike Rutherford during the "she don't know about my girlfriend or the man I met last night" were erased from this version? They were not extremely racy, I wonder why
Ahhh i await the day when the messenger jesus descend to earth and bring peace to all the people
That chorus is just plain awesome. Great melody, great lyrics.
Just listen to Phil's drumming during it. Brilliant.
When I was a kid, I saw an episode of the X-Files which involved a televangelist, and I remember thinking it was the most surreal thing I've ever seen since I didn't realize televangelism was an actual thing, as I was born in Europe.
Eventually learning more about televangelist was one of the very first times in my life where I started losing faith in the average intellect of people on earth.
Check out ghosts cover version. Brilliant
I liked this song as a kid. As a 40+ kid it gives me goose bumps. Ty Genesis. May god be with you 😘
