After seven days he was quite tired, so God said:
"Let there be a day
Just for picnics with wine and bread."
He gathered up some people He had made
Created blankets, and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine
And what with God there,
They asked him questions
Like: Do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet
And glanced around at them
The people cleared their throats
And stared right back at Him

So he said:
"Once there was a boy who woke up with blue hair.
To him it was a joy 'til he ran out to warm air...
He thought of how his friends would come to see
Would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?"

God shuffled his feet
And glanced around at them
The people cleared their throats
And stared right back at Him

The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing...
So someone asked Him,
"I beg your pardon.
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke....
Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet
And glanced around at them
The people cleared their throats
And stared right back at Him

Great CD. 
Very similar sounding songs at first, but a lot of creativity in each one of them.

Holy crap....1993? How is it possible this song is 27 years old? 
Saw them in Austin not long after this album came out. Good show, but hardly seems that long ago.

Another one from my collection that I never expected to hear on the Radio !
Hats off Bill !

One of my favorite albums from the 1990's.  Only one "skip" on the album (The Psychic).  Thanks for playing this Bill and Rebecca - another "Only on Radio Paradise" track...

He actually did parody that song and it wasn't about food, it was about the news.  It was called Headline News.  The references in it are a bit dated now, though.

I've never bothered to really read the lyrics for this song. I never really thought about it, but it's a tale about the expectations people have of "their" God to provide answers to everything, even trivial questions that don't really matter.  It highlights the fact that too many people have forgotten how to think for themselves and instead expect others to provide answers to everything.

Or it could just be whimsy...  a band called The Crash Test Dummies pretty much exemplifies whimsy.

Also check out The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead from the movie soundtrack "Dumb and Dumber." It's kind of a fun song which I have always liked, especially since Ellen Reid does such a great job of singing with Brad Roberts. Chances are Jim Carey knew some of the band members from his Toronto days and promoted them to cover this XTC track for his movie.

I'm kind of surprised at the black/white division of the comments.  The voice and the song take some getting used to and I wouldn't want to hear it all the time but it's like really spicy food.  Every once in awhile, you have a plate of it and go "$%$#'n excellent". I gave it a 9.

And write some more sometime.

Brad Roberts's voice sure seems to polarize folks. It is so unique for a lead instrument, I don't see how you can ignore it. Seriously, wouldn't you love to hear him hold down the bottom for the likes of, say, Crosby, Stills, and Nash or Chris Hillman, Herb Pederson, and the Rice brothers--both tenor/high tenor oriented ensembles?

I saw these folks live in a little club in Las Vegas, back in '94. Brad Roberts' (the singer in question) speaking voice is like rocks scraping together. It is most definitely not contrived. '

I enjoy the slight story-tellish manner of the song at least, simple beat, not bad. This calls for a banana foot-shuffling, not quite as holy, but entertaining in it's own right.

Used to be in the "f-in sucks" camp (during its radio play days). I accidentally bought the CD, though (along with another hundred CDs for a penny). Since then I've come to really like this and several other songs on the album (including When I Go Out with Artists). Give it a listen (if you can stand it).

This song always reminds me of the novel, Almighty Me, by Robert Bausch (who is a friend of mine): (click here) He told us how he was inspired, in part, to write this book by his brother-in-law wondering if you were Jesus, would you have to shave, or trim your fingernails. As a matter of fact, I think the bil was a poet, who wrote a poem about that. The novel was bastardized on film, whose the only redeeming feature was Morgan Freeman as God.

I had this CD when it first came out. I have to say that the whole thing is a little gimmicky to listen to as a whole because of the lead simger's deep bass voice, but a single song interspersed with songs from other artists is very enjoyable. (And that's one of the great things about RP!)

I like this song - unlike most other songs that use the word "God," this one is laid-back and treats God as a whimsical character. As an agnostic who doesn't really care if there is a God, I found this song to be fun. If you think this is a religious song, I think you are completely wrong. If anything, I think it harmlessly pokes fun at a lot of firmly religious people (see the music video if you don't believe me).

Looks like it. Lets blame God for all the bad things that men do to each other. And praise men whenever something good happens. Idiotic reasoning again. I suppose we someone will now blame God for the shooting today. Sorry, but it was some nut case who was able to buy a semi-automatic from a catalogue and then go and shoot up a load of innocent victims.

I hate them because they opened the show for Elvis Costello at Shoreline. A bunch of younsters who'd heard this song played to death on the radio showed up to see the CTD's and then talked through Elvis. I was pissed off, ruined the concert for me. I actually like CTD's but the song brings the beast out now.

I agree. I think it would've been wild to hear a duet of this guy and the lead for Morphine. But since that guy is no longer around, another baritone would work. On the wiki: Brad, Dan, and Ellen returned as Crash Test Dummies at the end of 2002 with Jingle All The Way, a long-rumoured Christmas album. 2003 saw the release of Puss 'n' Boots. Songs of the Unforgiven, the eighth studio album under the Crash Test Dummies name, was recorded not long after Puss 'n' Boots. The Dummies Today On August 6, 2006 a message was posted by Brad Roberts on the band's website stating that the band was more or less done with touring and that he was currently working on an album, with Stewart Lerman, using the optigan and omnichord. Brad also stated that the new recordings will be released for download online, for a modest fee, instead of being sold in retail stores.

Love the CTD... wish they had a few more albums.
Heheheee, can't agree, but they do have some great songs. I was surprised to see that they are in RP, too. Nice surprise
