4. Ever hear Joseph Campbell's 'Give Me That Old Time Religion' from Power of Myth?

(sung to the tune of 'Give
Me That Old Time Religion')

Shall I worship Zarathustra
just the way we use ta?
Be a Zarathustra Booster
What a thing to be!

Or maybe Aphrodite
She’s beautiful but flighty
and doesn’t wear a nighty,
now there’s a sight to see.

Or perhaps I’ll choose Apollo
a decent god to follow
I’d grovel and I’d wallow
Brought low on bended knee.

Elohim or Yahweh?
Allah or the highway?
I think I’ll just go my way.
That’s good enough for me.

Joseph Campbell said a friend of his started it.
