The Fratellis, "Jesus Stole My Baby" from Here We Stand (The Last Angry Man)
Commentary: Apparently, "Jesus Stole My Baby" is not available on Here We Stand in several territories, probably because it is rankly insulting to Christianity. While 'tis true that the song's content is offensive, we as Christians should be cheered by this. The song tells the tale of a chap whose girlflesh has had a conversion experience & become a devout Christian. He mocks her faith as "a bore" & several others insults, but his chief complaint is that she will no longer fornicate with him, singing that "she was always easy seven days a week" & "I've always been in love with her treasure." Note carefully that he never says he was in love with her, only "her treasure." This is the empty hatefulness of the world, the flesh, & the devil. The Lord promised us persecutions, that the world would hate us if were were faithful to His righteousness. "Jesus Stole My Baby" is the ugliness of the world's retort to the Beatitudes on full display & hence a worthy R.B.D.S.O.T.D. for the Lord's Day.
