Hymn 43 - Jethro Tull - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Jethro Tull penned a tongue-in-cheek hymn for Jesus that takes aim at the US and the hypocrisy and myth-making of religion and entertainment. "Oh Father high in heaven / Smile down upon your son, hey-hey / Who's busy with his money games, oh! / His women and his gun / Oh Jesus save me!," yodels Jethro Tull lead vocalist Ian Anderson, who mocks Hollywood's glorification of violence ("And the unsung Western hero / Killed an Indian or three, hey hey hey / And then he made his name in Hollywood, oh! / To set the white man free / And then he made his name in Hollywood, oh! / To set the white man free / Oh Jesus save me!"). "Hymn 43" - which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 91 – sits on the bluesy genre-twisting band's 1971 prog rock LP Aqualung, which explored themes relating to organized religion, and became their best-selling album, shifting more than seven million units worldwide.
