This happened to me twice. The first girl was a Muslim and said that going out was against her religion. The second one told me that she was already "in a relationship with Christ."
Some years ago, while broadcasting a small town high school football game in which the local team was losing by 4 touchdowns, the announcer said "now coming in the game is Jesus (he did not pronounce it "hay zeus") Alvarez - and boy do they need him."
One bit of humor that I think everyone misses is the last word of this song that appears on the internet as "Amen." But I think Carll is actually sing "Aw, man!" in a churchified way so that it sounds like"amen." Another genius comic touch by Carll that is consistent with the character singing this song who really knows nothing about church and nothing about amen.
I love that it's a Jewish woman. Totally forgot about this song til a post in a FB group about a bride photoshopping Jesus holding her reminded me 🤣 Sad that was my city, it's now unrecognizable and all those places are gone
I like it too and have studied the Bible for 30 years. It's clever and i'm not offended !! Why? Because God has the greatest sense of humor and I walk in Love like my Dad. God is my role model...who's yours?
Not mine, it's Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, Bill Nye...I like real people to be my role models. Oh and some of my friends. Smart, talented people.

And I mentioned those people because they have degrees they earned, have studied their fields and have earned their way and taught a great deal. They know what they are doing, and they are REAL, intelligent people. I also mentioned Christopher Hitchens and Bill Nye. I have more examples of real people who have earned admiration for what they DO and have done. I don't admire made-up characters who have done nothing but appear evil in books and encourage followers to commit evil acts.
Hayes actually cowrote this song with another good singer/songwriter, Brian Keane, whom I saw at a songwriter night at the Mucky Duck last Tuesday (Aug. 2, 2011), when he did this song, though a slightly different version, minus the last verse, about how "If I ever find him, he'll wish he was dead", which I think Hayes added. I've been seeing Brian for years as well, from when he was with the great Austin band the Band of Heathens, which also has former local boy Gordy Quist.
The priest who sprays Jesse with a can of mace with a cross on it is Little Jewford, Kinky Friedman's longtime sidekick, who plays keyboard and kazoo, whom I have seen with Kinky a number of times, just recently in a new play about Kinky's life, with 3 actors playing Kinky, one being musician Jesse Dayton. I believe Jewford was in Kinky's original band back in the day, Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys. Jewford jokes that he got his name because he's a Jew and he used to drive a Ford.
awesome song and very funny! Hayes is an amazing writer. The point is that the boyfriend has been so wrapped up in himself and partying that he doesn't even know who Jesus is.
@@karmaisreal261 To what? LOL! We're going where you're going after death. We'll all be dead. Just dead. We just face it. We don't make up fairy tales or pretend old myths are real because we're afraid.

THIS IS GREAT MUSICAL COMEDY AT IT'S BEST. IM SURE HAYES DIDNT WRITE THIS SONG ACALADES AND PRAISE. JUST FOR A GOOD LAUGH AND COMMON POINT. SOME CAN RELATE ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE FROM THE SOUTH WHERE PEOPLE WEAR RELIGION ON THEIR SLEEVES. IF YOU DONT LIKE DONT BE RUDE AND WASTE YOUR TIME COMMENTING. MOVE ON TO SOMETHING YOU LIKE.
Finally, a country song that makes you want to laugh, rather than blow your brains out! For literalists too caught up in the fun pokes, minus the video, it is talking about her leaving her boyfriend for religion (could be any religion, just happened to be Christianity this time). The little insider pokes in fun at biblical literalists are what are sticking in your craws. Get over yourselves. Jesus the man would have laughed his ass off. I'm glad I am a Wiccan, not subject to time-soured Dogma!
One thing that's so funny about this is that the acting is so good for the most part... except for the girlfriend and Hayes Carll, but it's his song :D That and Jimmie Dale Gilmore's cameo.

Thank you Jesus for a sense of humor.
The references and irreverence woven into this song are well done and very funny.
I love that bit about the Shroud of Turin found in her bedroom.

This may be the best music video ever. "I don't tell you how to do your job." LOL
This song never gets old! 😂

I love this. My teacher sang this for us today. :D
Good morning from Singapore! Wish you'd have a great evening =)
So fun! I have heard it before and today I heard it on KPIG, had to look it up.
This is still funny 10 years later...

Thanks for the info man!
My girl left me for Jesus too....I'm fucking heartbroken that she left but I can't get mad at Jesus
He ain't real and if your GF left your for a myth, you're better off.
Dumped for a dead guy!
lowell (massachusetts) public access, for one reason or another, just played this, and it made me laugh out loud... great
best video ever.. hallelujah!
Before I got satellite radio I never heard of Hayes Carll, but I love his music !!!
It you can offend someone, you ain't really trying. Great stuff!
What is truly sad is the deplorables who take themselves so seriously as to be being offended by whimsy. Offended? Yup! That's you.
Great song and funny video
awesome song and very funny! Hayes is an amazing writer. The point is that the boyfriend has been so wrapped up in himself and partying that he doesn't even know who Jesus is.
The point is, making fun of religion and silly beliefs is a good thing. Don't make it so complicated. Jesus isn't a real character.

Funnest stuff I seen in awhile
