I’ve known for a while about the Nirvana song Jesus Don’t Want Me For a Sunbeam (originally by The Vaselines), but I was just reminded of it and I think it’s cute.

Jesus don’t want me for a sunbeam. ‘Cause sunbeams are not made like me.
Don’t expect me to cry for all the reasons you had to die. Don’t ever ask your
love of me.

Don’t expect me to cry.
Don’t expect me to lie.
Don’t expect me to die for thee.

For those who don’t know, this is a parody of a popular Christian song for children, I’ll Be a Sunbeam. It’s popular in Mormon circles where child folk tradition dictates that the refrain is sung with special emphasis on the syllable “beam” sometimes accompanied by hopping up in your seat:

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam;
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I’ll be a sunbeamfor Him.

Are Mormon kids the only ones who do this?
