[edit] Theology

I've taken out the part analyzing the "theology" of the lyrics. Clearly, whoever tried to analyze them that way doesn't get the song. The lyrics that were said to "coincide" with Christian doctrine do not - in Christianity, Jesus doesn't recommend you to God; he guarantees your entry into Heaven. The discourse on the Gospel was out of place, as the song is not intended to be a serious examination of theology. Quite the opposite.

I hope my changes haven't offended anyone. I think the article is much clearer now. Kafziel 13:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Used in movies.

IMDb currently lists 19 films using the song. I think only major films should be listed. -- Jeandré, 2006-07-09t09:38z

[edit] Steve Young

In the paragraph on the Nike commercial, Steve Young needs to be disambiguated. If it is the football player from the 49ers, the link is Steve Young (athlete).

[edit] Possible history

I was asked many times through the years to rewrite this song. About 2 years ago I seriously took it up. I found the project a major chore. But finaly understood the stumbling blocks. A gift to Wikkipedia. "Satanic underground" When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's best When I go I’m going down Goin down to the fire underground CHORUS: Goin down to the fire underground (underground) That's where I’ll go when they put me down (Put me down) When I die and they lay me to rest I'm gonna go to the place that's the best Prepare yourself, you know it's a must Gotta have a friend in Satan So when you go, you’ll go down It’s gonna recommend you to the Satanic underground (underground) Goin down to the Satanic underground That's where you’ll go when they lay you down (In the ground) When I die and they lay me to rest I'm gonna go to the place that's the best I’ve always been a sinner, I've always sinned I've got a friend in Satan Now you know, I’m going down It's gonna set me up with the Satanic underground. (Underground) Yeah that’s where I’ll be found (Underground) With worms, fat and round When I’m dead and I stink like the rest gonna go to the place that’s the best

O I added the extra stanza to end it better than the original.67.170.214.183 05:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
