"6. This Disco (Used to Be a Cute Cathedral)--Steve Taylor"

Interesting title, this one. It kind of moved in a major key too. But would the tone be straightforward or sarcastic?

Sunday needs a pick-me-up? / Here's your chance / Do you get tired / Of the same old square dance? / Allemande right now / All join hands / Do-si-do to the Promised Boogieland / Got no need for altar calls / Sold the altar for the mirror balls / Do you shuffle, do you twist? / 'Cause with a hot hits playlist / Now we say

This disco used to be a cute cathedral / Where the chosen cha-cha every day of the year / This disco used to be a cute cathedral / Where we only play the stuff you're wantin' to hear

Ohh, snap! Definitely sarcastic.

Mickey does the two-step / One, two, swing! / All the little church mice doin' their thing / Boppin' in the bell tower / Rumba to the right / Knock knock, who's there? / Get me outta this limelight / So, you want to defect? / Officer, what did you expect? / Got no rhythm, got no dough / He said "Listen, Bozo, don't you know?"

This disco used to be a cute cathedral / Where the chosen cha-cha every day of the week / This disco used to be a cute cathedral / But we got no room if you ain't gonna be chic

Sell the holy habitat / That ship's been deserted by stinkin' rats / The exclusive place to go / Was where the pious pogo / Don't you know?

This disco...

She couldn't help laughing but boy, were those lyrics ever sharp! He clearly thought much of the church had lost its way, to say the least. Itching ears were almost certainly part of the equation, but would he go into greater detail?
