• Steve from Usa“Bob Rivers did a popular parody of this song called "What If God Smoked Cannabis," which imagines the Almighty sparking one up with the common folks.” The Almighty was one of the common folks, Bob. He was so common, they crucified him between 2 criminals for the crime of loving the world.
• AnonymousThere are clearly pics of the Seattle Space needle. Hummm?
• Peter from North Attleborough, MaThe bit of gospel song that plays at the beginning (of some versions, anyway) is "The Heavenly Airplane" (possibly also called "The Aeroplane Ride") which was recorded by Alan Lomax in 1937 as part of his famous Depression-era collection of folk songs. It was sung by Nell Hampton. The complete recording is available on the Library of Congress website via the Internet Archive at https://bit.ly/3jXTrPf.

• Ekristheh from Halath, United StatesMick in Los Angeles: According to Wikipedia, the singer is Nell Hampton. "[Folklorist Alan] Lomax recorded Nell Hampton singing that song sometime between the 1950s to 1970s. It is much older, however, and originally credited to J. S. McConnell. See http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=25735." The complete lyrics will be found on that page.
• Eric from Bend, OrI think someone should do another parody of this song with the line "What if God made fun of us?"
• Mel from Riverbank, CaNo, this is so not one of her best songs. Yes, it's the one that drew me to the album but I discovered a treasure. So many great songs.. Crazy Baby, Spider Web, Ladder... Dracula Moon is my favorite. Her songs are so sexy.
• Ben from Gosford, AustraliaI remember the first time I saw this song was on Rage in 1995, that video clip with the clowns on the beach with the furo wigs lol. I love the guitar riff to this song, it's so sexy!
• Raymond from Sydney , AustraliaI think this song is about me maybe -- who knows.
  I've been a stranger on a bus for over two decades. And God inspired me along the way. God is an ordinary person, with no great credentials or lofty status in society: the pope. Just a person seeking to find and share the truth -- whatever the truth turns out to be. Did I find the truth? See my andjesus if inquisitive.

• Mjn Seifer from Not Listed For Personal Reason, EnglandI've liked this song for years, and I heard it last night and for the first time ever, I actually cried when the line "Back up to Heaven all alone
  Nobody callin' on the phone" came on. I dunno why -It's never affected me before...

• Mick from Los Angeles, CaCould some one please tell me who it is singing that bit at the beginning of the song?? I know the name of it, and its lyrics, but WHO SINGS IT??
  It cant be Joan herself....(well, I dont think so, anyway). But it's a hoot!
