Christian Side Hug from The Fathers House on Vimeo.
I swear, I thought this was a joke at first. I was sure I recognised Adam Sandler’s voice at the beginning.
I am not really familiar with this “side hug” thing; I’m pretty sure it’s not in the Bible. I am guessing that it refers to arms-around-the-shoulders group swaying while singing really bad, repetitive song lyrics off a projector. This never caught on in any of the churches I’ve attended over the years (we were more into “rear hugging”). (NOT REALLY.)
And since when is being a “rough rider” something Christian rappers talk about? There are certain things I don’t need to know. That’s one of them. (Same goes for teabagging, but apparently nobody has any shame these days.) It must have some other meaning I don’t know about.
No, seriously. Is this another joke? What the heck is a rough rider in the churchy context? Jon? Steve? I need help here.
I seriously doubt there is a Christian sense for the term rough rider.
There MUST be. If you get turned on by hugging strangers, you’re either a 15-year-old boy or you’ve never had sex. There’s no way these guys mean what the rest of us think they mean. There has to be another definition I’ve never heard.
Maybe I’m the weirdo, but it seems to me that if these guys had sex every once in a while, they wouldn’t think hugs are sexy. The next stop along that path involves getting turned on by watching old ladies eat grapes.
I’m sorry you didn’t like my song.
“Watching old ladies eat grapes.”
Oh God. Do you have any idea what kind of Google search traffic you’re going to get now?
Now I have to find some way to mask my IP address…for, uh, totally unrelated reasons…
Enquiring minds: what are the guys in the black leather jackets doing? Arm candy?
I’m so glad you are there, Megan, to open my eyes up to things I have yet to discover…
Mostly I am offended they are using Star Wars music.
Also, “Jesus never hugged his buddy like that?”
“when i hug people, i leave room for the holy spirit”?
Also, as Christians, shouldn’t they be generally against violence? Doesn’t the sound of emptying the magazine of a handgun at the end of the song kind of run counter to that message?
And they all fall down dead, right? I don’t get it.
Worst of all, using a top-secret channel of communication, a reader has suggested a Christian meaning for “rough rider”. I am starting to think it might be real.
I jump out from the prison shower surprise hug!!!
