The instrumental part is, demonstrably, the same as "Stories" by Chakacha (video here).

So far, I have been unable to track down who the preacher is.  One poster claims it is Ken Nordine, but it doesn't, to my ears, sound at all like Nordine.

I thought there might be some answer on CAKE's site, but, if it is there, it is buried.

The "wiggling & wobbling" bridge cracks me up every time.   Does anyone know if this is an actual sample of a sermon or is it just the singer pretending to be a fundie preacher.

You know, I think I'd really like this song, except the "man lives, man dies" thing needs to be cut in half or less.   That got really old about halfway through.

I'm so sick I feel like dieing right now.

Somehow this song goes good with a Ricola!

Don't like Cake - but this song is pretty cool. Sounds a little like the evil Reverend Jim "Jonestown" Jones.  



I was wandering around downtown Dallas around 1974 and met some hippie types who were collecting money for some sort of new commune in South American and tried to talk me into joining them.  I've often wondered if it was Jonestown.

Even their B-sides are 10s! The dudes abide! The guitar is especially tasty on this one. Don't normally think of Cake as a guitar band.

If you never have and even if you're not a huge fan of the music there is always interesting news and advice on the website. (8)

Absolutely. Any band with horns gets another point from me.

I love Cake, but don't understand this song. I'd rather hear Mahna Mahna if you're going to pick a song off the Rarities album.

I concur.  I may not like a lot of what Cake does, but I'm glad they exist and that they never take themselves too seriously and are always stretching the envelope.  Rock music needs bands like Cake.

I'm not a big fan of Cake but there's something about this song....I kinda like it!  Perhaps it's the samples of the "sermon", reminiscent of Front 242's use of similar takes....
