I used to work for a record importer/exporter. While I was Receivables Mgr there, we got a letter from the president of the Catholic League who was in a snit about a record we were supposedly selling. He was fit to be tied and offended beyond belief by this record that we were selling and should have been ashamed of.

I'd never heard of it. No one else who worked there had either but once the word got out via the letter from the compaining party being publicized by said party, all 1,500 copies of "Get Off the Cross, We Need the Wood for the Fire" by Tarwater literally FLEW off the shelves!!!

Then those Catholic League guys REALLY got mad!!!
I wonder if Tarwater had a follow-up record titled, "Drop That Cross One More Time and You're Out of the Easter Parade, Jesus".
Hahaha!
I was always partial to the one song name of "Me N Jesus Gonna Kick yer Ass!"
Hahahaha - my husband said that to me on our honey moon when we were at the stations of the cross in Quebec. Haven't heard it since.
Yep, it's an oldie but a goodie. It's been around since at least the '60s, when I first heard it.
