They saw how he danced, and the people were awed;
epileptic messiah, the chosen of God.
The LORD did descend, and His message was heard,
for He said to His people: "The Bird is the Word."

BABABABIRD BIRD BIRD, BIRD BIRD'S THE WORD

[–]Dirge37 61 points62 points ago

NOOoooo!! Damn You

[–]utsavman 41 points42 points ago

Don't you know about the bird ?

[–]CaptainNoBoat 40 points41 points ago

Don't worry. Everybody knows that the bird is the word.

[–]HittingSmoke 49 points50 points ago

At PAX Prime a couple years back there was a dance game with a live demo in the expo hall. One of three or four songs to choose from was Surfin' Bird. Of course that is the only one most people had ever heard of, so it was the only song anyone picked.

Three hours... 45 minutes of it spent sitting in a line to check out Portal 2 while staring at a wall rocking back and forth hoping I would get to see Valve's new game before my brain started hemorrhaging . I listened to that song for three fucking hours as I walked around trying so desperately to focus on all the awesome games around me.

So long... it lasted so long...

[–]generalozzman 10 points11 points ago

soooooo what you're saying is you have heard of the word? am i correct?

[–]Tho76 1 point2 points ago

I know PAX from League of Legends, but what exactly is it? I thought it was a League things, but I seem to be uninformed.

[–]HittingSmoke 1 point2 points ago

PAX is the Penny Arcade Expo. There are two, Prime and East. Prime is held in Seattle every summer and I believe it's the largest annual video game specific event in the world. Eurogamer might hold this title though.

The expo hall is where developers and manufacturers can demo upcoming products. It's basically just a massive clusterfuck of cosplay and flickering monitors.

[–]Veret 20 points21 points ago

There's a guy strutting around in a big cape that says "prophet" on it, and at one point they yell out "BY THE POWER OF RAAAAA." So no, it's probably just footage of dancing congregations spliced together with the music.

[–]kareemabduljabbq 10 points11 points ago

not a christian but this is known as "catching the holy ghost". it's a sort of spiritual ecstatic experience. Mostly heard of it from James Baldwin's "Go Tell It on the Mountain".

[–]rotll 6 points7 points ago

And James Brown's "I Feel Good".

[–]doctorsound 3 points4 points ago

No, there's a bunch of them. A guy syncs videos from Pentecostal churches with jump tracks. He does an awesome job.

[–]fenixqns 42 points43 points ago

Ah 'Catching the Holy Ghost'

Sounds and looks silly, but go to a Baptist Christian church and you will see this. I saw it quite often, one that sticks out was an 8 y/o who would dance like this in the aisle. One of the many reason I have 'left the faith'

[–]redlightnetherlands 25 points26 points ago

I grew up in a baptist church (eastern virginia) and this would never happen. Every song was a hymn sang in the most utterly bleak attitude.

There are at least 100 different types of baptist churches. If this had happened at the church I'd gone to, the older people would have thought satan himself had come in.

[–]Tastygroove 42 points43 points ago

There's baptist... And then there's black baptist. The latter being much more entertaining.

[–]redlightnetherlands 9 points10 points ago

There are 30 million baptists in the US alone in 27 different "main" groups and probably another 100 different sub groups that have veered out of the main ones.

[–]kalpol 8 points9 points ago

Entirely correct. There's a huge range of Baptists, from the snake fighters to the manic dancers to the hands-on-healers to the tonguers to the sober normal services that might include a few extra instruments in the musical performance but only after discussion.

[–]indignation01 7 points8 points ago

Yeah, I went to a friend's church where this was the norm. It was extremely uncomfortable to watch people do this. I remember wondering why god would make someone faint and lay on the floor for an hour or more, or go bat shit crazy like this lady. What was the purpose?

Just another question with no logical answer that lead to me, like yourself, leaving the faith.

[–]Nrksbullet 12 points13 points ago

Left? Shit that would have made me stay, lol

[–]wei-long 15 points16 points ago

I think you mean Pentecostal. Baptists don't even like clapping loudly.

[–]MixMasterMadge 11 points12 points ago

Southern Baptist are different than Baptist.

[–]bdog2g2 4 points5 points ago

Thank you! I kept reading how Baptists are all quiet and docile and thinking "They've never been to a Southern Baptist church where speaking in tongue and catching the ghost is common"

In fact it was watching someone speak in tongue RIGHT. FUCKING. NEXT. TO. ME. at the age of 8 that I determined it wasn't for me. That lady scared me so bad I asked my mother quite loudly can we just leave.

[–]sprite50 1 point2 points ago

Yep. Even white Pentecostals are prone to "shouting". Just like in Borat.

I should know. I was there that night.

[–]willscy 5 points6 points ago

As a Catholic even our rituals look tame compared to some of the stuff the Baptists do.

[–]MeloJelo 3 points4 points ago

I dunno, you guys eat the flesh and drink the blood of a man that's been dead 2000 years. I think that's pretty intense.

[–]willscy 1 point2 points ago

It is, and it is a very important part of the religion.

[–]thekilljoy 2 points3 points ago

Intense, but not quite like a Southern Baptist. Us Catholics are very neat and orderly about our necrocannibalism. You just try stepping outta that line or taking the body of Christ the wrong way, you'll see how... nope, still pretty tame.

[–]HungLikeMosquito 21 points22 points ago

Really, why the fuck do people do this? Am I missing something? The whole raising of hands in church bothers me too. I understand it's to surrender, accept, whatever is being fed to you in musical form. But seriously?? Maybe I'm just too negative in life, but I have never been so remotely happy that I instantaneously bust out in dance acting maniacally. Don't get me started on speaking in tongues.

[–]DrJeckylMrHyde 37 points38 points ago

You aren't black. The black Christian experience has always been about comfort and catharsis. Having gone to these churches some time ago, I know that it is almost impossible for even the apeshit of the apeshittiest Charismatic whites to hang with that.

Having said that, fuck me running, but that is annoying to be sitting near. And I promise you, if she was going off like that in church, she wasn't alone. Nothing like a room of 500 people in suits, in 90 degree heat, with every third one losing their freakin' minds. Oy.

[–]Dave_PH 16 points17 points ago

How do you know he's not black?

Oooooh. I see his name

[–]letsdochemistry 7 points8 points ago

My church back home is like that, and after seeing it every Sunday while growing up, you kind of become desensitized to it and forget how objectively weird it is. When I still considered myself "christian," at least it made sense to me why they were doing it, but now that I don't believe in any of it anymore I just look back and think holy fuck all those people were faking it. I'm sure they felt strong emotions, but it wasn't daddy jesus.

[–]Captain_DuClark 1 point2 points ago

objectively weird

Is that an oxymoron?

[–]rotll 1 point2 points ago

Dr Jeckyl - Having gone to these churches some time ago
Mr Hyde - Oy!

[–]Icovada 5 points6 points ago

I must say, I don't get it either. Might be because I'm in Europe, might be because I am Catholic, but if anyone did anything like that during mass everyone would just kick them out of the church.

We don't even raise our hands. We just stand, or sit. Composedly.

[–]exsqueeze_me 1 point2 points ago

When I was in Sweden every church I found was pentecostal; this was the first time I'd seen anybody speak in tongues or dance in aisles...which is a bit backwards because I'm black and baptist.

[–]ACTUAL_BACKSTORY 1 point2 points ago

Tracy was feeling a little sick: her back was aching, her neck felt like someone had stabbed it, and her head was throbbing. There was still an hour until church, so Tracy popped some tylenol in the hopes that it would, even momentarily, provide her some relief.

Moments before it was time to leave, Tracy called to Mat, her roommate, to see if this was the week he was going to give up his life of unenlightenment and join her in church. Unsurprisingly, Mat opted to stay. Tracy sighed, massaged her forehead, and fell into a trance where she began to feel her face. She quickly snapped out of it, but seemed confused. Although she was not quite sure what had just happened, she knew she was going to be late if she waited any longer, so she walked out of the apartment and closed the door behind her.

At the same time, Mat decided to go check on his burgeoning collection of mescaline pills. Although they were easy to come by, he was concerned when he saw that two of them were not there. He looked up, and could only think what might be happening to Tracy right now.
