A Hindu family from a UK television show dancing to a song about Christianity written by an American Jew who did such a great job writing and performing the original song that even atheists love it.
Never heard it that way, _but so true!_ I love Norman's guitar version best because it always brings me back to June, 1970 [the entire Summer, actually!]. I say this as a *gnostic atheist.* _I just hate the lyrics!_ And THIS version is a failure.
Song reminds me of my nan. She was Gareth Gates dinner lady at school and she would always talk about him. She is a Christian so this was always on when I was younger. She just passed away last week
I was obsessed with this as a kid. And TH-cam didn't exist back then, so I had wait around all day in front of the tv to catch it! And tried my best to do the dance!!
Gareth Gates had in spades what they all crave, but only few truly have: The ultimate X factor! This clip is a shining example, I mean really: who could resist that charismatic smile?
This is so much fun. Kumars are a great addition. I adore the song and came across to this version. Purrrrr fecto.Gareth Gates is sooo cute and sweet. Long live Norman Greenbaum King of the Lightning the Bottle! You are the best.

I saw him recently at a 90s concert with a bunch of other artists and he hasn't aged a day! me and my mates fangirled so hard when he came on, the nostalgia hit us in the feels! 🥰😁 he's still fantastic
Cant believe this song is now 21 yrs old. I absolutely loved this song back and even now still love it. Cant believe he was 18 maybe 19 in this. And now he's just turned 40 this year.
I've never heard of Gateth Gates, but I enjoyed this production a great deal. A wonderful satire on the original version, as well as a strong vocal and dance performance.
I have this on CD single. It came with a video version but I couldn't get my DVD Player OR my dad's computer to play it! Thank goodness for TH-cam. I'm 12 years old again when school was divided into Gareth fans or Will Young fans.
Oh. my. god. i cant believe how long it's been! .. it doesn't seem 5 minutes ago iwas dancing to this with my sister when i was like 5!! i used to love him so much!
13 years ago we was driving to my grandads funeral and this happened to come on the radio so everytime I listen to it always brings back good memories missing you so much gramps. hopefully you have gone to the place that's the best x
If I think back this song is the first song i remember. I remember because my beloved dog had been put down after a long illness and for some reason, i only heard recently, I got a lot of comfort from it.
Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum, first time i listen this music was in 1974 ,a song composed and played by a sheep farmer in a quiet village in the USA, who believed in Jesus. I love the sound they managed to get and produce from the guitar.
Hi Garth it was nice seeing you at the queens theatre at Barnstaple I did some homework on spirit in the sky I showed my career the dance that you did and when you sang we did the some of the dance with our hands
my nan loved him n his songs especialy this 1 always used t listen t it right up t the day she died we played it at her funeral coz she loved it that much n was a gud song for her to go to love u nan
As a kid I never got this Song.. Stillt it was the most awesome title for me... Now i totally get the message.... there is nothing to fear.. and life is a party ! Cheers !!

Well said.
This is Britain ;.-)
Nothing can stop the birth of a song that the world is aching for.

You don't have to be religious to enjoy this

Blimey, I remember those days... feels like a life time ago now :(
FUCKING YES SAME
I met the grandma from the Kumar’s in 2002 in Cornwall where I used to live! She was LOVELY!!!!!!!
One of the best comic relief songs ever. I don't know why they don't do them no more. Now they came came thanks to Paloma Faith!
Gareth Gates had in spades what they all crave, but only few truly have: The ultimate X factor! This clip is a shining example, I mean really: who could resist that charismatic smile?
He was 19 back then, right? But still he was hot and gorgeous.
Pop Idol, I think it was called first
I love Gareth he’s so adorable and has a voice of an angel. 19 years on and this song is such a hit. Defo want to hear this when I die❤
Look up the original from 1970 by Norma Greenbaum.
Where is Gareth now
How will you hear it if you’re dead?

Older than that, Norman Greenbaum or something similar had the original in the 60’s

My partner’s mum always liked a laugh and this song so we chose it as her main funeral song.
Love it! Why do funerals always have to be sad! We should celebrate our loved ones instead🥰
Awwwwww love it x
13 years ago we was driving to my grandads funeral and this happened to come on the radio so everytime I listen to it always brings back good memories missing you so much gramps. hopefully you have gone to the place that's the best x
I dedicated this song to my mother November 2010 when she became a Spirit in the Sky herself.
May she rest in peace 🙏
Love being a 90s kid.

Did you dance? WHO said it's over.
Still a bop.
2021 and still a brilliant song.
Lol. This goes way further back than that sweetness
Great song 😊❤
My God this song came out when I met my now husband...here we are three kids and a dog later 😁
The song came out in 1969 and was sung by Norman Greenbaum.
Dang, I've listened to this close to 30 times today. too cute.
Great song. Norman Greenbaum was the first person to sing it back in 1969.
This is the best song ever!!
Nailed it!!!

CLASSIC, better than all that electro pop and rap crap in the charts.
This is what the charts is missing, a bit of fun. :D
Agree. I don't listen to much but love this mix of comedy and music.
Does nobody make funny songs anymore? I love songs like Rawhide by the Chaps or Living Doll by Cliff Richard and the Young Ones.
Omg how i love this guy!
