For my next book, a follow-up to Churched called Hear No Evil, I was writing about my teenage affection for Sandi Patty.
Seriously, I LOVED her. Uncool? Yes. But I didn’t care. Go ahead. Poke fun. Judge me.
It’s nothing I haven’t had to endure before. 🙂
Anyway, I was doing a Google search for Sandi lyrics and found THIS video. I wonder if Sandi has seen this?
I don’t know what to think about it… do you?
HAVE ANY TITLE SUGGESTIONS FOR IT?
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile disfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory erection, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual health is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.
I would love to see the synchronized swimming version of this. Wow.
LOL at Previous comment! Wonder how old this video is? That’s some serious cheese.
@Mainline Mom: It was performed in March 2009!!!!!
Yes. I know.
I kept waiting for them to break into gansta rap.
No words. Seriously. After seeing the hair & gowns — nope. No words.
Oh my word! I thought it was a joke!!! (That is sad)
I was totally thinking synchronized swimming too!
The nice thing about stuff like this is that Will, as a sociologist of religion, will have fodder for research and study for many years to come!
I kid you not, my (public) high school marching band did “Make His Praise Glorious.” It was kind of like this, only with flags (I was in color guard). And tubas.

The gowns are too revealing for this to be a fundamentalist gathering, right? Hmmm…the epitome of Christian womanhood, I suppose.
*sigh* I will never live up to this!
I was thinking synchronized swimming too! lol
But, about your Sandi Patty crush, I had a SERIOUS crush on Carman. I mean, I had our kids named and everything. He was a bit older than me, but that didn’t matter. Something tells me he’s still got it going on!
Yep, I looked him up. He does still have it going on! 🙂
My first thought was “Hey, I know this song, and I might have it on CD.”
Is that bad?
oh…owwww – my eyeballs just rolled out of my head and landed in a pile of turquoise glittery goo.
cheerleader arms + sharp singing + trumpet plunger mute (?) = painful. painful.
also – has it been noted that they do this AND sex and the city in the same show?
If only they could do it like “GLEE.”

Wow. That’s bad.
I loved Sandi Patti, too. Saw her live at a Billy Graham Crusade. My absolute favorites are her duets with Larnelle Harris, though. I still get goosebumps when I hear “I’ve Just Seen Jesus”.
It looks like the scene in “Grease” – the “Beauty School Drop Out” scene…except “Grease” was way better. Those dresses hurt my eyes. And they are all wearing Bumpits. Bump it up!
Your Sandi Patti love reminds me of one of the strangest moments I ever experienced in college – somebody had their music cranked up really high, (I’m mean come on it was 1999 and it was not uncommon to hear chumbawumba or the backstreet boys wafting down the hallways). But no, this guy had Another Time, Another Place blaring, and he was singing (off-key) along with it. Matching the intensity and volume.
I stayed and listened hoping I would see who this guy was, it took a couple of minutes (and a rousing rendition of Ray Boltz’s I Pledge Alleigence To The Lamb) but he left his room, this giant jock type guy, with biceps the size of my head.
I never looked at Sandi Patti fans the same way again and too this day whenever I see some huge jock working out at the gym, I think to myself I wonder if he’s rocking out to the dulcet tones of Sandi Patti and Ray Boltz.
I see people beat me to the synchronized swimming comment. I was in high school choir, but it was never like that, that is seriously creepy. And what was with the audience breaking out into spontaneous applause.
I am so disturbed by the fact that this was done THIS YEAR.
When I was in high school we did a Tiffany song AND a Debbie Gibson song in swing choir and we thought we were SO current. I’m not as embarrassed by that now as I used to be since watching this 🙂
Ok.. which Sandi Patti do you prefer. Sandy or Sandi. Well she was good no matter what. I as a young lad sang There Is A Savior at every church function, and womens Bible study I was invited to.
But then after my love affair with Sandi Patti I then began crushing on Twila Paris. Oh Twila… those were the days.. the young foolish days.
You do have a way of finding these things.
Speaking of Sandi Patti, remember *this* song, anyone?
http://www.amazon.com/Sing-Higher-Fresh-Album-Version/dp/B000TEFEW6
“I Can Sing Higher”
These are the love children of the Bride of Frankenstein and Richard Simmons.
Let’s play “Simon (Cowell) Says”:
“That was ABSOLUTELY hideous!! Maybe if you’d been wearing bikinis…” ;^)
Sandi does seem to inspire supernatural devotion. I can’t believe more than 20 years after my own teenage doting that I’m driving my family three hours to her Christmas concert on JUNE 20 in DALLAS. It’s sure to be 100 degrees and we’re supposed to wear Christmas apparel for a DVD they’re taping.
I guess when someone inspires that much of a connection, you don’t care what people think. Though it does help to move (rapidly) in large groups and wear identical outfits.
Anybody have a blue sweater I can borrow?
I went to this school. Ouch.
