Pop Songs Sung by Fred Phelps' Wesboro Baptist Church





There's no way Fred Phelps can be real. These songs are just too funny. This has to be some sort of performance art that has kept up its facade all these years. It's too ridiculous for people to take seriously — no less a bunch of middle-aged choirwomen to take seriously.

But serious these people really are. They sing these songs with no sense of irony. Indeed it is ironic that they use the sounds of sin to preach against "sin". I present to you some choice tunes brought to you by that wonderful source of comedy, Fred Phelps — a master, if there ever was one, of "hamming it up".



My favourite song of the three I've shared with you is "We Have a Message". There's just something about hearing "Stompity-stomp-stomp", "Brokeback Mountain", and "BOOOOOOM!" sung by prim Church ladies.

Many folks wonder what would have happened to Hitler if he was accepted into art school. Well, I am one to wonder what would have happened to Fred Phelps if he made an early career switch into sketch comedy. I'm sure Monty Python would have scored big to have him as a cast member.

Again, after hearing these songs, it's hard for me to believe these guys can be serious. Which is why this really is screwed up.

Don't forget "Sing", by the Carpenters, as performed for Michael Moore during an episode of his show "The Awful Truth".
