Lyrics:
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
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 Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
![Gareth Gates & The Kumars - Spirit In The Sky [totp2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pWFBIY8-ld0/mqdefault.jpg)
A Hindu family from a UK television show dancing to a song about Christianity written by an American Jew who did such a great job writing and performing the original song that even atheists love it.
Well said.
This is Britain ;.-)
Nothing can stop the birth of a song that the world is aching for.
Never heard it that way, _but so true!_ I love Norman's guitar version best because it always brings me back to June, 1970 [the entire Summer, actually!]. I say this as a *gnostic atheist.* _I just hate the lyrics!_ And THIS version is a failure.
Song reminds me of my nan. She was Gareth Gates dinner lady at school and she would always talk about him. She is a Christian so this was always on when I was younger. She just passed away last week
I was obsessed with this as a kid. And UA-cam didn't exist back then, so I had wait around all day in front of the tv to catch it! And tried my best to do the dance!!
Saskia I remember doing that too haha
Saskia saaaaame😂😂
Saskia same here
Blimey, I remember those days... feels like a life time ago now :(
FUCKING YES SAME
I met the grandma from the Kumar’s in 2002 in Cornwall where I used to live! She was LOVELY!!!!!!!
Gareth Gates had in spades what they all crave, but only few truly have: The ultimate X factor! This clip is a shining example, I mean really: who could resist that charismatic smile?
He was 19 back then, right? But still he was hot and gorgeous.
Pop Idol, I think it was called first
I love Gareth he’s so adorable and has a voice of an angel. 19 years on and this song is such a hit. Defo want to hear this when I die❤
Look up the original from 1970 by Norma Greenbaum.
Where is Gareth now
How will you hear it if you’re dead?

I saw him recently at a 90s concert with a bunch of other artists and he hasn't aged a day! me and my mates fangirled so hard when he came on, the nostalgia hit us in the feels! 🥰😁 he's still fantastic
I saw him in Spongebob Squarepants a few weeks ago, he definitely hasn't aged!
Liked this more than his version of unchained melody ❤ax
This is so much fun. Kumars are a great addition. I adore the song and came across to this version. Purrrrr fecto.Gareth Gates is sooo cute and sweet. Long live Norman Greenbaum King of the Lightning the Bottle! You are the best.
I remember listening to this when I was little. Ah, the memories
17 years ago I remember this like it was yesterday. What a time to be alive when TV comedian's mixed with musicians
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
One of the best comic relief songs ever. I don't know why they don't do them no more. Now they came came thanks to Paloma Faith!
Gareth Gates AND the Kumars; talk about nostalgia. This video always made me laugh, especially the Grandma
Grandma kumars is the best 😂😂
Love this song. Sat next to Gareth on a flight to and from NYC a few years ago. Really nice guy
Love this song, brings back so many memories!:')
2024 anyone?
😆
Yes, ah the nostalgia 🥹
YUP! Here after it was mentioned on TV haha
Oh Yeah!
Me!!!
fuck this brings back so many memories😭😭
I want to come back as Gareth hair gel cracks me up every time lol xx
I've never heard of Gateth Gates, but I enjoyed this production a great deal. A wonderful satire on the original version, as well as a strong vocal and dance performance.
This was my nans funeral song she loved this song,Evan though it was a sad day everyone giggled when this song was played made her send off better😂❤
❤ hope u have lots of good memories
👍
Love that!! I never had grandparents, I hope you have great memories!!
Mysong for when I pop off 😂

Love you Gareth FOREVER 🥰!
Cant believe this song is now 21 yrs old. I absolutely loved this song back and even now still love it. Cant believe he was 18 maybe 19 in this. And now he's just turned 40 this year.
Older than that, Norman Greenbaum or something similar had the original in the 60’s
Deus é uma frequência, sintonize . Paz , amor e caridade . E o que me torna, grande amigo de Jesus!❤
Love Gareth Gates, brilliant cover 👍
I remember this song. It was a Top 20 Hit here in Germany in 2003.
😂😂😂😂😂
I don't know why, but this video is fantastic!!!! I'm watching it for an hour , and maybe now is the 25th time that I'm watching it !!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh, this song brings back beautiful memories 😍💖💕
This man and FAMILY are amazing especially Wendy x
Absolutely fantastic voice from him dont hear about him nw
This is the first time I've seen this in 12 YEARS omg, I was like 5, I had such a warm feeling listening to this again!!
Arian Rahman did you get hard?
This is just too perfect. What a great video and coupled with a great old song.
Totally agree with you
Brings back loads of good memories of me and my BEST friend who sadly passed away last year :( This was our fav song lol :)
Excellent, I want this to be my funeral song!

My partner’s mum always liked a laugh and this song so we chose it as her main funeral song.

This music video showed a different side of me...I really enjoyed it💫💖
This is the song of my childhood. I LOVE IT.
Das war soo lustig damals und weiterhin. Tremendous. Lieber Garteth Gates, bleib so. Als Mensch liebe ich dich auch.
I love this because it has the Kumars in it
The family cracks me up!! Funny as hell !!😂😆
2021 and still a brilliant song.
Lol. This goes way further back than that sweetness
Cool song and cute Gareth 😍😍😍
This was my favourite song when I was 7!
Dang, I've listened to this close to 30 times today. too cute.
Jesus was this REALLY 2003? I thought I was older... I remember having the biggest crush on Gareth Gates! And this song was one of my favourites :D (and before you criticize, I WAS 7-8 at the time!)
Olivia McDonagh and I did
Omg same 😂
i was only 3 lol
+Olivia McDonagh The fact that I was 7 then and 19 now is making me feel old.
+Alex Robinson same lol
Hi Garth it was nice seeing you at the queens theatre at Barnstaple I did some homework on spirit in the sky I showed my career the dance that you did and when you sang we did the some of the dance with our hands
I used to be obsessed with this song
Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum, first time i listen this music was in 1974 ,a song composed and played by a sheep farmer in a quiet village in the USA, who believed in Jesus. I love the sound they managed to get and produce from the guitar.
This is a blast from my childhood...
Hey Gareth I hope you will upload videos from your Abundant Life Ministry. God bless you Brother 😇
been looking for this song for 11 years 😢 and now I'm 20 so glad I found it
Absolutely hilarious this whole video feels like a fever dream, I can't believe I remember the lyrics. Bloody love it
A great singer and a great talent. Whatever happened to him? He needs to put out a new cd. I love his version of this song!
Oh wow....I used to love this when I was a little kid. I had this absolutely huge crush on Gareth. Good times.
I'm so gonna have this at my funeral going in!
Lets hope i go to heaven;)
That was just soooo funny!! Made my night.❤Kay,nz

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die

I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
That video IS!! Top of the Pops!! As far as I am concerned. Just love it😅❤Kay,nz
CLASSIC, better than all that electro pop and rap crap in the charts.
This is what the charts is missing, a bit of fun. :D
Agree. I don't listen to much but love this mix of comedy and music.
Does nobody make funny songs anymore? I love songs like Rawhide by the Chaps or Living Doll by Cliff Richard and the Young Ones.
Oh. my. god. i cant believe how long it's been! .. it doesn't seem 5 minutes ago iwas dancing to this with my sister when i was like 5!! i used to love him so much!
Freaking awesome 😎
Forgot how gorgeous Gareth Gates used to be!
Now i remember why i liked his music!
As for The Kumars! Well lol they are ever so Epic!!!!
xxx
Great song. Norman Greenbaum was the first person to sing it back in 1969.
Those days were the best :’)
"His head is too pointy!"
"Every day is a bad bum day for you!"
"NOT WEMBLEY, YOU IDIOT, HE MEANS HEAVEN!"
"Oh shut up, this is my big sitar solo!"
LOL those guys are genius xD.
I met Gareth last saturday after his final matinee in Les Mis. He was so sweet! And he heard me tell my friend that I had the world's biggest crush on him when I was 6 and he gave me this funny look xD I used to know the whole dance to this song xD
This reminds me of the movie "It's A Wonderful Afterlife" :)
Great song 😊❤
I miss him so much :(
Great video and awesome tune...
"I want to come back as Gareth's hair gel" 😂😂
Hilarious 😂😂
Fabulous Gareth !
My God this song came out when I met my now husband...here we are three kids and a dog later 😁
The song came out in 1969 and was sung by Norman Greenbaum.
Hope this song is played when I'm gone love it 😀 xxx

I forgot how much I adored this song and video
Love it!
I love the Grandmaaaaaa 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, "Is Will Young still available?" 😆😆😆😆
