Here is the Church, Here is the Steeple, Put it on a Flat-Bed Truck and Run Over the People

You only need to watch the first 50 seconds or so—preferably stoned. Via Sullivan.

At first I thought this was a Moral Orel episode.

Actually, you should watch it up to at least 1:15. Echoed my sentiments exactly...

And for some reason, the reminded me of the mobile fortress in Krull.

I kept waiting for it to hit a pothole and snap in half in the middle of the road.

They're deeply confused if they really believe it's now safe "for eternity".

I thought that video was really, really cool, and I'm not being ironic or snarky at all.

It looked good, it was well done, and I think it's cool that those people love that building enough to move it, preserve it, write a song about it and make this video about it.

The choir walking down the road was totally fun. And the woman who said the "hicks" line was classic; she totally undercut any "big city" types before they could make fun of her. She doesn't take herself too seriously. That's awesome.

Thanks for posting this, Dan.

This would make a great premise for a horror movie.

It's like classic Terry Gilliam, and I have no doubt the mash-ups have already begun. . .

Well, it's no Crimson Permanent Assurance, but still kind of cool visually.

You couldn't hear the soprano get run over at the end?

A "mobile home church."

Perfect for white trash like Phyllis Schlafly.
