Music Lyrics, Humor
For singers who like zingers, these hilarious contemporary lyrics by Paul Toscano, illustrated by cartoonist Calvin Grondahl, will leave anyone with a funnybone in stitches. The tunes are familiar, but the themes are new. Some are light-hearted and poke fun at everyday events, while others are edged with satire and parody. Titles include "Ere You Left Your Room This Morning, Did You Think to Shave?" "My! How the Women are Raging," "How Numerous the Commands," "There is Sunstone in the Mail Today," "Marry On!" "Mormons Have the Holiest Architects," "Let Us All be Faith-Promoting," and "We are Spending, Daily Spending." Music and the Broken Word will delight lovers of Mormon humor and dismay ward choristers.
