I heard this many years ago, and laughed until my gut hurt. Got it as an email attachment before YouTube and such things were around.
I’m sorry, Joel, if you don’t see the humor in this, but I makes me laugh every time I hear it.

This would be funnier if it wasn’t making a mockery of a song rich with divine lyrical content.

Personally, I don’t see it making “a mockery” of the song. It’s a spoof on all those really bad singers who get to torture the church with their so-called “joyful noises.” Oh, well, I suppose we each interpret things differently.
I’m not meaning to be a grinch, and yes, I love humor (especially satire). I just wish another song was used than the one in particular. I know it was well-meant though, so I’m not offended. I dashed off the last message a bit too hatily perhaps. 🙂 Carry on…

I know there’s tons of evidence that I fulfill the Scripture that we “make joyful noise.” There’s none noisier than me.

If it helps, the words as currently sung were written by a Unitarian, so whatever its content, it has heretical beginnings.
