Song of the Day 6/3: Nate and Craig Anderson, “Books of the Bible”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on June 3, 2020

This one’s a public service for our Big Phony President, who couldn’t name a book of the Bible to save his shriveled soul. I have no idea who the musicians are, but of the dozens of songs online dedicated to teaching kids the books of the Bible, this turn-of-the-millennium pop-punk production gave them the catchiest tune. The idea is a sound one. Song lyrics are processed in a different part of the brain from text, and for most people are easier to memorize, which is why you learned the alphabet that way.

The Andersons handle their material one testament at a time. Here’s the Old Testament.

The New Testament, with all of Paul’s letters to his fractious, far-flung communities of Christians, is a little tougher. Trump strikes me as more of an Old Testament guy anyway.
