What if God Smoked Cannabus? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I am sure many of us have heard "One Of Us", the one song by Joan Osborne that got a lot of airplay on pop radio stations.

I'll bet not too many of us have this version of her song:

If God had long hair and a goatee
and if his eyes were pretty glazed
If he looked spaced out would you buy his story,
would you believe he had an eye infection?

Yeah, yeah, God looks baked
Yeah, yeah, God smells good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God smoked cannabus?
Hit the bong like some of us?
Drove a tie dyed microbus
And he subscribes to Rolling Stone

When God made this place in the beginning
Did he plant any seeds?
Or did he put them there for Adam and Eve
So thet’d be hungry
for the apple that the snake was always offering

Yeah, yeah, God rolls great
Yeah, yeah, God smells good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God smoked cannabus?
Do you suppose he had a bust?
When he made the platypus
When he created Earth our home
Does he like Pearl Jam or the Stones?
Do you think he rolls his own?
Up there in heaven on the throne
And when the saints go marching home
Maybe he sits and smokes alone

You mean god didn't smoke cannabis? I was sure that was what explained how messed up the world is...

Oh wow, this takes me back. I heard this back in like 2002 or 2003, and absolutely loved it. I find myself muttering it under my breath, but all I can ever remember is that one line.

While the Seeqpod player identifies this as Joan Osborne, the parody was in fact written by Bob Rivers.

I always thought it would be cool if God smoked weed. Other than that, it doesn't really matter to me where He does or doesn't, He's still God.
