There are reasons, but no excuses, for my submission for the last round.
“And now behold Jonah taken up as an anchor and dropped into the sea; when instantly an oily calmness floats out from the east, and the sea is still, as Jonah carries down the gale with him, leaving smooth water behind. He goes down in the whirling heart of such a masterless commotion that he scarce heeds the moment when he drops seething into the yawning jaws awaiting him; and the whale shoots-to all his ivory teeth, like so many white bolts, upon his prison. Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord out of the fish’s belly. But observe his prayer, and learn a weighty lesson. For sinful as he is, Jonah does not weep and wail for direct deliverance. He feels that his dreadful punishment is just. He leaves all his deliverance to God, contenting himself with this, that spite of all his pains and pangs, he will still look towards His holy temple. And here, shipmates, is true and faithful repentance; not clamorous for pardon, but grateful for punishment. And how pleasing to God was this conduct in Jonah, is shown in the eventual deliverance of him from the sea and the whale. Shipmates, I do not place Jonah before you to be copied for his sin but I do place him before you as a model for repentance. Sin not; but if you do, take heed to repent of it like Jonah.”
Hey, ya’ll remember how i said this next category would be less fun than the previous?
Yeah, its worse than that.
A lot worse.
Like, im having trouble determining a podium, let alone a winner.
There is nothing Melt Banana worthy, but you all almost universly have determined that the only people who make comedy music are strange western europeans with terrible accents.
Reveal to come later. I must sufficiently drink to reveal this category.
I don’t even know how to classify a band as “comedy”. I mean, the one I chose started out that way, had some success, then went all serious (and sucked).
Weird Al? ok
Lonely Island? sure.
I think there are some bands I wouldn’t call “comedy” acts who happen to have a funny song or two. I’m thinking of one that I kind of wish I’d used for the category now…blah. Can I resubmit?
