The Lyrics
Suggested by Guy DiRito's "Could Be I Should Try Tongue" http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/billyjoel176.shtml Glossolalia is "speaking in tongues."
I was in a trance,
Starting rollin' eyes.
I commenced to moan--
Then some eerie cries.
But I didn't dance,
That's a big no-no.
The minister said, "Praise God!
Let him go."
Came it out: the glossolalia,
I was in a spell.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Did it portend hell?
Oh, it all began with just one little trance
And ended up in incoherent rants.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Word from above?
Was it the full moon--
They asked, as I tossed, flailed, yeah--
Shinin' high above
That caused my glossolalia?
Did it portend doom,
Meaning that God would nail ya
From up above?
I was loud, they say, as I cried and screeched.
The minister said, "He should be leeched!"
Then I gave a gasp; the last sound came out.
Then they started to thrash and roll about.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
They were in a spell.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Did it portend hell?
Oh, it all began with just one little trance
And ended up in incoherent rants.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Words not. Just grunts.
Starting rollin' eyes.
I commenced to moan--
Then some eerie cries.
But I didn't dance,
That's a big no-no.
The minister said, "Praise God!
Let him go."
Came it out: the glossolalia,
I was in a spell.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Did it portend hell?
Oh, it all began with just one little trance
And ended up in incoherent rants.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Word from above?
Was it the full moon--
They asked, as I tossed, flailed, yeah--
Shinin' high above
That caused my glossolalia?
Did it portend doom,
Meaning that God would nail ya
From up above?
I was loud, they say, as I cried and screeched.
The minister said, "He should be leeched!"
Then I gave a gasp; the last sound came out.
Then they started to thrash and roll about.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
They were in a spell.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Did it portend hell?
Oh, it all began with just one little trance
And ended up in incoherent rants.
Came it out: the glossolalia,
Words not. Just grunts.

brilliant concept....i love this one...5s
Thanks Alvin and JD.
DKTOS, but I'm very impressed that anyone's even come across the word "Glossolalia", let alone used it in a parody.
"Words not. Just grunts" Darn funny, John! And-- I learned a new word today. Good stuff.
Hey John, this is really good. Glad to have been your inspiration. I almost was ROFL but then I considered the subject and decided not to get that tempted.
