Yeah. A modern favorite of mine doing a classic favorite of mine. And they played it pretty straight too. I really enjoy their version, but still prefer the original.
honestly one of the best covers iv heard in a long time, just give it a little sprinkle of ghost but kept the original well in tact, the video is brilliant as well
Thank you: this morning, I took a taxi and heard this song. Now I'm listening to it at home and discover Ghost's cover :) I've discovered Ghost in February this year and love it :) My fave: Square hammer, Witch image, Dance macabre, Call me little sunshine, Griftwood.
Phil said they were on tour in the states, late one night they came across a preacher on TV they thought it was a joke at first and they were laughing, then they realized it was serious, here's there song of what they seen
@@scottmcfadden5341Ghost is another band that did a cover of this song. I would recommend checking them out, especially if you into stuff like Type O Negative
I feel like a lot of Christians and Catholics misunderstand this song, cause it’s not really about Jesus, rather 1990s televangelism and false prophets
Absolutely love this song What makes this one a banger is how catchy the chorus is. Sounds like something you hear from a hymn, which is meant to be contradicted by the other verses of the televangelist character. Really fun and humorous writing from Genesis tbh. Gabriel's influence on the band remained really strong since his departure at the time.

One of Genesis' most legendary, iconic and contraversal tracks. Despite the controversy, I don't have much hate on it, because it's truly a masterpiece, and like all Genesis tracks, theres a message too it, and this one states it clearly, which is not wrong. Honestly, an extremely underrated track, in an underrated album, and has to be one of my most favorite Genesis' tracks-I know I say it alot but it's so hard to pick from favorites! Real iconic, and literally something you can't get outta your head for years, and thats something I can honestly say. They'll be never anything alike Genesis, or Phil's work. Legendar, even the video for it is hillarious. What an era 😂👑
@@randomfordmustang2877 I have, In general I'm more of a PC era fan, but the PG era was just as great, or even greater imo. I know a lot of people like the old era albums, and I understand clearly why, espically the early ones like Foxtrot, Lamb, Nursery, Pound and etc.
This is a catchy pop song mate. They couldn't be further from their prog rock roots, so not for me. There's a couple of belters on this album, but this isn't one of them.
@@tattyheid7279 My man, It's literally defined as one of their most catchiest songs pratically in every article. Obviosuly, it isn't in their prog roots, we all got different likes and tastes, I like multiple genres of music, and Genesis is perfect, espically in eras.
Fun bit of trivia - in the Simpsons episode "Bart Sells His Soul" they wanted to have Bart pranking the church congregation by handing out hymn sheets to this song, but they couldn't clear the rights so they had to wo with Inna-Gadda-Davida instead.
Such a mistake seeing as actual churches and christian organizations have unironically played this, completely missing the entire satire and actual message.
Reminds me of the high school I went to in northern Illinois in the late '70s. Very evangelical, and they all adored Jim and Tammy. I was just the outsider as a subdued Lutheran.
Hearing this song ... so many religious people love this song because its about Jesus ... and somehow, Genesis is now a religious band in 1991 ... but with the context of the video, this song just parodies Jim Bakker and all the televangelists! 😅😅
Cette chanson est une Satire du Télévangélisme...chanson un peu plus Cynique que le style habituel d’écriture de Phil Collins !

@@amyholley4331 CS Lewis was a Christian, he was just trying to explain to those not sure who Jesus is, that they either believe who He said He was or they don't. There is no middle ground. Jesus asked Peter and every one of us, "Who do you say that I am?"
@@Varrik159 there's more evidence of Him living than anyone else in history; our years are numbered by His birth, and there's an empty tomb in Jerusalem hallelujah amen! How about if you're really open minded, read "The Case For Christ" and "The Case For Faith" by former atheist and Chicago Tribune Court Reporter Lee Strobel, and "Flood of Evidence" by scientists Bodie Lodge and Ken Hamm.
Also, if He's legend, that would also make Him a liar. If it was fiction, why would the disciples write that women discovered the EMPTY TOMB, when at that time women were of no regard and couldn't even witness in court. If they made it up, they would have said they discovered it.
In the words of Josh Turner, there's victory in the LORD I say, victory in the LORD, cling to the Father and HIS holy name, and don't go riding on that long Black train!
Love this song too. Their is only one way up through the innocent blood of King Jesus Christ who was murdered by sinners that is why believing in him who was tortured, mocked and murdered is the only way up. All must bow down to him and follow him.
I know some people are probably gonna hate me, but I like Ghost's version a lot more. It sounds much better as a hard rock song and totally suits their image. And the music video they made for it conveys this message much better. I know the song is supposed to be about televangelists and false prophets, but I think it exposes the hypocrisy of religious people in general.
Thank you to Ghost for introducing me to this awesome song!
That's so cool! I'm so glad you were introduced to this awesome 80s song! I lived thru it and was pretty special.
@@6hypnonenot quite an 80s song-- came out in '91 :)

Lyrics to this iconic catchy Genesis track: 😂👑
Do you see the face on the TV screen
Comin' at you every sunday?
See the face on the billboard?
Well, that man is me
On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smilin'
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
You 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 talkin' to Jesus all my life
Oh, yes He knows me and He knows I'm right
And He's been tellin' me everything is alright
I believe in family
With my ever lovin' 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
Well, I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house
Or get out of 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 talkin' to Jesus all my life
Oh, yes He knows me and He knows I'm right
Well, He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practisin' what I'm preachin'
Won't find me makin' 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
Well, just do as I say, don't do as I do
Well, I'm countin' my blessings
'Cause I've found true happiness
'Cause I'm gettin' 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
Well, there'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying
If wanna get closer to Him
Get on your knees and start prayin'
'Cause Jesus He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talkin' to Jesus all my life
Oh, yes He knows me and He knows I'm right
Well, He's been tellin' 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 talkin' to Jesus all my life
And He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright, alright
Jesus He knows me

Same.
He's talking about all preachers I'm Hispanic and British and from England. It's all about you Christians.
You pray to God, and you are connected. Jesus is free.
Those who find this song offensive probably are false prophets

I LOVE the animated spinning record. I have this album on vinyl, but it is so scratched and horrible now, this is fantastic to listen to.
The first song I heard on a random radio station about 2 hours after a should-be-fatal crash 🙏🏻 Jesus had my back ❤️🙏🏻
This song is mocking Jesus and the televangcals
