Many decades ago, Gary Dell’Abate introduced the phrase Baba Booey on the Howard Stern Show. Since then, that phrase has made many newspeople’s lives hell. When a prankster calls into a news show, tells their fake story and then yells Baba Booey. That is when they everyone knows that they were punked.
As hellish as it has been for some, the New York City Gospel Choir found a way to make it heavenly. They took the melody from Oh, Happy Day and changed it to Baba Booey.
A song I would love to hear at many so-called churches, who say they preach the gospel of Jesus but spend the service preaching hate. Every time the clergyman (because you know those “places of worship” will not have a woman leading the sermon) preaches a falsity, the choir should break out into this version of the song. Hopefully, when the finally learn their lesson, then they can start singing the original song again. Who else thinks that is a divine idea?
When it comes to the Gospel of Baba Booey, am I the only person who cannot stop singing the hymn?
