DC Talk / Jesus Freak
 

I came across on this on Youtube today, hadn't heard it in years. This was a fairly seminal song/album for me when I was young. There wasn't a whole lot of mainstream Christian bands that had this kind of sound. I remember the controversy it caused, similar to Carman's "Who's in the House, J.C.!" song.

My parents didn't want me to listen to "Jesus Freak" because it had a rocky beat. Devious hellion that I was, I told them I was going to buy the cassette single of it (did I just date myself? lol) because the B-side had "I Wish We'd all Been Ready" and I was only going to listen to that song. LOL It was half-true, I did like that song a lot, but really I wanted "Jesus Freak".

That's it, just a fun, non mosque-related thread for my walk down memory lane.

Man... I wish we'd all been ready was an OLD one. I always like the last song at the end when they took one of their songs and did it in a real old timey uppity church style. The reprise. LOL...

They did Jesus Freak, of course, for that album. It was great.

How funny, I used to listen to that song over and over when I was a teenager. lol

Yeah, and when listening to it now, it doesn't seem to have aged that much. Seems as decent of a song now as it was then.
