It’s the Gays’ Fault!

Here’s a funny parody-song performed during last month’s Stockholm Pride and broadcast over Swedish State Television. (On the off-chance that you aren’t fluent in Nordic tongues, be sure to click the “CC” button for subtitles.)

It’s like this: The singalong has become shallow! It has become filthy! FILTHY FILTHY FILTHY, like me and my congregation like to put it. I think it’s unpleasant because there is humping and there is moaning! And when you are up there on stage, even I get sinful thoughts and that’s when it’s gone too far! We need this to end! We need to bring in more morals! MORALS MORALS MORALS! We need to have enough morals for double-standards!

But it’s not your fault, Måns. It’s not your fault and it’s not your publisher’s fault. I would like to put it like this …

Over our entire Earth …
(Oh yeah! Oh yeah!)
Disasters, terror and murder occurs, believe my word …
(Oh my! Oh my!)
But we who walk with Jesus still bear no responsibility
Because the root to all evil isn’t us

No, it’s the gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
No, it’s the gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
It’s written in the Bible that it’s the gays’ fault!
I don’t know which line, verse, chapter or part,
But somewhere in here, it’s written that it’s the gays’ fault!

The war in Afghanistan?
The gays’ fault!
The dictatorship in Iran?
The gays’ fault!
Earthquakes, floods and all other horrors?
And [?], Saab and Volvo aren’t even Swedish anymore?

Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
The gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
The world is on fire
And it’s the gays’ fault!
I stole office supplies from work and somehow get the feeling
That it’s the gays’ fault!

Divorces and alcoholism?
The gays’ fault!
Parking enforcement and atheism?
The gays’ fault!
That kids these days don’t know how to behave?
That the Eurovision song contest never seems to end?

Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
The gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
Nothing makes sense …
And it’s the gays’ fault!
My troubled youth has left me mentally ill
But my family agrees …
That it’s the gays’ fault!

Crazy fundamentalism?
The gays’ fault!
Every schism in the history of the world?
The gays’ fault!
In the name of religion, we engage in wars, kill and fight,
But we bear no responsibility for this …

Because it’s the gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
The gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
We can all agree that it’s the gays’ fault!
One could think it’s Satan himself playing a trick on us …
But even he gets off since
It’s the gays’ fault!

The gays’ … The gays’ … The gays’ …
Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
The gays’ … The gays’ … The gays’ …
Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
The gays’ … The gays’ … The gays’ …
Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
The gays’ … The gays’ … The gays’ …
Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
The gays’ … The gays’ … The gays’ …
Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!

Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
The gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
Everything that is wrong …
It’s the gays’ fault!
I have sat in front of my computer until my neck has gone stiff …
Somehow I get the feeling …
It’s the gays’ fault!

Yes, it’s the gaaaays’ faaault!
(The gaaaays’ faaault!)
The gaaaays’ faaault!
(The gaaaays’ faaault!)
Everything that gives piece …
Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
All the poverty, all the wrong morals
All the rain and all the fights
There is no doubt that …
It’s the gays’ fault!

Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
The gays’ fault!
(The gays’ fault!)
Everything that is wrong …
Yes, it’s the gays’ fault!
All the poverty, all the wrong morals
All the rain and all the fights
There is no doubt that …
It’s the gays’ fault!

The gaaaaaaaaaays’ faaaaaaaaault!
(The gays’ … The gays’ … The gays’ … The gays’ …)
(The gays’ … The gays’ …)
The gays’ fault!

Now, play the video, close your eyes, and imagine that it’s U.S. Christians who are singing. Funny how that works, eh?
