I STILL love this bit!! It still makes my hair stand on end, it's so awesome. Hey, Tim, this little bit just gave me an idea: A movie based on this song premise. A Youth Pastor becomes disillusioned as he is watching his younger congregation dwindle, and out of despair, contemplates throwing in the towel and go get drunk. As he sits at the bar, nursing his (yet to be touched) drink, he gets to talking about his problems with another patron. As they are discussing his dilemma, the topic of worship music comes up, and how most young people just don't care much for it. The patron makes a off-handed remark about how worship music is old and outdated, and it's too bad that some modern, or popular, music couldn't be put to old hymns and praise songs. Divine inspiration hits the pastor, remembering the hymn, "Down from His Glory", which is to the famous, and popular (in 1898) song, "O Sole Mio": Why not put hymns to famous rock tunes? Thus is the beginning of "Church of Rock".
My church actually played a Led Zeppelin song! We had a Heaven or Hell series and on one Sunday the band played Stairway To Heaven and had Don Piper speak about his experience in Heaven. Then, on the next Sunday, the band played Highway To Hell (a portion of it) and had Bill Wiese speak about his experience in Hell. It was so cool; I loved it!
I find Tim's very uplifting in his approach to speaking and spreading God's Love. It's not the tired dieing church that was so strong 50 years ago. He brings a fresh approach to the Christian walk to show people that Christians aren't uptight and judgmental like they were 50 years. Christians weren't meant to be prunes sitting there on a pew but out reaching people and the best way to do that is through familiar environments to he ones we are trying to reach.
Too much fun...wish I could just hang out and jam with this guy! He lovingly mocks everything I used to think was so important: in church, and out of church, in such a friendly way...gotta love THAT...so tired of the "church" taking it self so seriously. Taking on "Shout to The Lord" and mixing it with "The Immigrant Song" is absolute genius....especially when you look at the lyrics of both. What WILL God do with all us old "rockers" in Heaven? Make us do parodies like this guy? Man, I sure hope so, cause this is just a slice, fer sher!
Yeah, now I want an actual fully fledged parody that I could listen to on spotify. Also yeah, Church should be more about gathering for the Lord, should be a joyous and wonderful thing, not sombre and dreadful.
Man, if I went to a church where someone really did something like this, I'd probably start cracking up because I would be thinking about this video! XD
Tim Hawkins has made me laugh out loud more than any other comedian. Maybe you need to have been brought up going to church to get the joke ? Maybe everyone has a different sense of humour and it just depends where you are at when you hear it ?
He has me to! Lol..I so laughed at the first part of it and if you need a good laugh He is the Man! Ive done listened to all his UA-cam videos and Potty Train and is my favorite!..lol
If they played this song at my church, I would be looking for Thor all over the room 😂😂😂 You can not hear that song without a mental image of Thor in Ragnarok after defeating Hela 😂 🔨 🔨🔨
Actually, he DID say to worship him with a particular music: "Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs" Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16. Zeppelin music (rock music) is NOT spiritual (at least in a godly way), but is CARNAL (fleshly).
For my church we'd skip the med units and just bring the bags... a friend and I sang "House of God" by Mercy Me and we got glares and scowled at for that! In fact that was about 8years ago and coincidentally the last time I was allowed to sing a special at church.
It's okay, I should be able to get them to let me sing a special again. Thinking about doing something like what Tim does in this video. I want to put one of the traditional hymns to a song that is a little more "lively".... If noting else trying to start a youth program that is focused on music could work; putting hymns and praise songs, to the music of the kids favorite songs. Who knows?
@joeylion8 And since you supposedly want scripture to back up what I said, music is used in both types of worship in the Bible: Godly - "Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely." Psalm 147:1...
I'm pretty sure God didn't say that we had to worship using Christian contemporary music, or even hymns. Those things are a lot younger than the bible. Besides, it says to praise him with the stringed instruments, and the Hebrews had drums as well, so I'm pretty sure Zeppelin is covered.
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." 1 Corinthians 10:23-26 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." - 1 Corinthians 10:31
Think of it like this: one man builds a bridge, and then another man comes along and builds another bridge right next to the first guy's. Why did he do that? Did the first bridge not work good enough? They both serve the same purpose: to get you to the other side. Two bridges alike, one isn't necessary, and it's just more labor to get the same result. (By the way, I'm actually a teenage girl, not a little man.)
@cdhayes2 One COULD argue that... except they'd be wrong. That has nothing to do with the covenant--it's a historical FACT showing how music was used in the past. I understand we're under grace now. "All things are lawful for me, but all things are NOT expedient. All things are lawful for me, but all things edify NOT." I Cor. 10:23
@conniebear94 As for me judging, can you even find that verse in the Bible? It's Matthew 7:1, and it says "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." I am fully prepared to be judged by the same standard I judge by--not my opinion, but by the Bible...
Most hymns are written to bar/pub song music. it was used to bring in the people by hearing familiar music from outside. And it's all the more reason to do so now it works. And do you really think the way we worship now is the way they worships 2000 years ago??? Well it's not Christians always have adapted to the culture around them to bring more and more to God through Christ. That's what we do. Please don't be so hateful and judgmental of people without knowing their motives. Matthew 7:1
@joeylion8 ...and Satanic - "And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that SING do I hear. And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount." Exodus 32:18-19
I STILL love this bit!! It still makes my hair stand on end, it's so awesome.

I’d WATCH that!
I'm an Orthodox Christian. If our choir director ever played Immigrant Song during church I think I would have a heart attack.
+bishiewuvr Like he said, do something that would shock the congregation.
Jason Brown in my case, shock and awe XD
ItsSnowingStars hahahah
Orthodox... is that one of them piano and hymn book churches?
orthodox is closer to catholic but they separated a LONG time ago
"these are the angry birds in Corinthians."
More like the Angry Birds in Exodus. That was the extra plague nobody knew about LOL
i would totally buy that version of the song.
My church actually played a Led Zeppelin song! We had a Heaven or Hell series and on one Sunday the band played Stairway To Heaven and had Don Piper speak about his experience in Heaven. Then, on the next Sunday, the band played Highway To Hell (a portion of it) and had Bill Wiese speak about his experience in Hell. It was so cool; I loved it!
I was there that day and he yelled at me, loved it
I am in tears!!! LOVE THIS... Tim, you are a genius.

GOD BLESS YOU, TIM HAWKINS!
Can we just have a church that plays Christian metal and rock? I would go to that church.
Man, if I went to a church where someone really did something like this, I'd probably start cracking up because I would be thinking about this video! XD
I always forget how loud this clip actually is until he starts the aaAAAAAAAAaa. Then I’m like “oh yep it works I’m awake.” 😂
that is sssssssssooooooooooooo awesome you rock !!!!!!!!!!!
Tim Hawkins has made me laugh out loud more than any other comedian. Maybe you need to have been brought up going to church to get the joke ? Maybe everyone has a different sense of humour and it just depends where you are at when you hear it ?
AMEN!!!
Bullshit don rickles is and will be the best
He has me to! Lol..I so laughed at the first part of it and if you need a good laugh He is the Man! Ive done listened to all his UA-cam videos and Potty Train and is my favorite!..lol
You are so correct! Many of the old sacred hymns were put to the tunes of bar songs.
If they played this song at my church, I would be looking for Thor all over the room 😂😂😂
You can not hear that song without a mental image of Thor in Ragnarok after defeating Hela 😂 🔨 🔨🔨
there are no words for how much i LOVE this!
How anyone could dislike Tim Hawkins is beyond me, he is great.
YEAH FOR LED ZEPPELIN!
We had a pianist once that slowed down a Metalica song and played it for a prelude.
I like Tim Hawkins song “I’m A Christian” done to the tune of Bon Jovi’s song “Wanted Dead Or Alive”. Have you heard Tim’s song? wado,Ann Benson.
In liturgical churches, the sermons are shorter - we have services, music, leitourgia (the people's work)
Oh sweet! This was put up on my b-day! lol. ^_^
lol! the funny thing is it sounds like songs we hear in some churches already!
That actually sounds like one of my tunes from the 90's lol
You totally rock Tim! Lol! If Church was more like this when giving messages I think the attenance rates would go through the roof!
Actually..I kinda liked that!
that's great!!
hahahahahahahahah! I absolutely LOVE this guy! I'm rolling right now! Love it!
Love his bird noises !
amen! preach!!!
This is AWESOME!!
i'd go there non stop man!!!
As long as you are glorifying God and edifying others you are doing things God's way! Whether that is via rock music or chamber choir music...
BEST .SONG .EVER......
Actually, I have played some Stairway Heaven before the service on the guitar.....
Bob LeBlanc Same here. A little Hall of Fame... just to test the guitars, ya know.. ;)
I love this guy. That's really all I can say.
Great googly moogly! I laughed so hard I snorted!
Actually, he DID say to worship him with a particular music: "Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs" Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16. Zeppelin music (rock music) is NOT spiritual (at least in a godly way), but is CARNAL (fleshly).

It's a song about Vikings. I don't remember the name, but It's in a video called viking kittens.
It's a dramatized version, that's what that is! Stop judging! SO GOOD!!
I like this more than the original song!
I don't know if I should have been laughing at that!!!! LOL
That was great
I love Led Zeppelin
His is great
Loved this
Totally works !
Zepplin on Sun. Morn. Lol
my dad use to throw bean bags at people if they werent paying attention during his sermon
Good job! It really worked.
Jack Black combined with my pastor is this
you wanna know whats hillarious? our church will play led zeppelin songs if it goes with the message :P love it
It's okay, I should be able to get them to let me sing a special again. Thinking about doing something like what Tim does in this video. I want to put one of the traditional hymns to a song that is a little more "lively"....

HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA
"This is my bible".....😂😂😂 (guilty)
der hangit Thats what it is. stop JUdging!! makes me laugh every single time. XD
Outside of church - YEAH! In church - no thanks!
Shout to the Lord meets Led Zeppelin :) Jeff Voth? Steve Enns? Any takers?
@joeylion8 And since you supposedly want scripture to back up what I said, music is used in both types of worship in the Bible: Godly - "Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely." Psalm 147:1...
@Kyermemehtar I've gotten away with playing a video game song before.
I love the immigrant song I think this is great haha
I'm pretty sure God didn't say that we had to worship using Christian contemporary music, or even hymns. Those things are a lot younger than the bible. Besides, it says to praise him with the stringed instruments, and the Hebrews had drums as well, so I'm pretty sure Zeppelin is covered.
Suddenly I'm thinking I need to listen to Led Zeppelin for their style!
LOL, Angry Birds in Corinthians. Suuuuuuuure.
Fresh !
yes baby birds!
where in the world do you see God saying we can't create our new songs?
and what is the original song? :O
I wanna know :D
hahahaha! Funny stuff. xx
coolest Pastor ever.
Arandomeperson, Jesus will never fail you but as you can tell people will. Never lose your faith in Christ because He will never fail you.
haha:)
well you just made some words
Telling my worship pastor about this
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." 1 Corinthians 10:23-26

play stairway to heaven in church, its a praise and worship song if you listen to it backwards!
@Agent1611 One could argue the fact that that is a part of the Old Testament Covenant..
the original song is called immgrant song
that's hillarious
Well, he's no Robert Plant, but who's to say you can't worship to Tim's parody of "The Immigrant Song"? Personally, I kinda dig it!
so someone went to hell and told you about it? that's not possible
I'm so sorry for that. :(
who knew he could get that high...o.O
1:26, how does he get his voice that high!?
@cdhayes2 One COULD argue that... except they'd be wrong. That has nothing to do with the covenant--it's a historical FACT showing how music was used in the past. I understand we're under grace now. "All things are lawful for me, but all things are NOT expedient. All things are lawful for me, but all things edify NOT." I Cor. 10:23
what's the original zeppelin song in this one?
Is it just me, or does Tim Hawkins look like a different person in every show?
I don't claim any denomination either. I have my faith in God. Religion takes that faith and twists it around to suit man's needs.
All through the book of Psalms actually. A lot of them were set to Hittite songs.
I want you to get down on your knees and
Start pleazin' Jesus!
And remember, the more you send,
The more God loves you.
@conniebear94 As for me judging, can you even find that verse in the Bible? It's Matthew 7:1, and it says "Judge not, that ye be not judged.

@guyoffun Adunno but I think he just made it better.
who is zeppelin never heard of him
Most hymns are written to bar/pub song music. it was used to bring in the people by hearing familiar music from outside. And it's all the more reason to do so now it works.
