Didn't see that one coming. On another note, this is possibly the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I'm sure it was the baby's idea, too. Not like he didn't start mimicking someone preaching (father, uncle, brother) before they trotted him out onstage. Scary, scary world we live in where gun-toting, pro-war Christians and atheistic vegan pacifists can hurt themselves laughing at the same faith-related YouTube clip. God help us all.

I have this fantasy that they realized "That's pretty much what we get from the adult preacher!" followed quickly by "What am I doing wasting my time here?" But that probably didn't happen. On a different note, I'd love to see this subtitled like the <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2009/04/02/joe-cocker-with-subt.html">Joe Cocker song that was posted here not long ago</a>.
