Surprisingly, the album that contained that song is quite good.

Spirit in the sky is an excellent choice and I would recommend it except for the fact that there is William Devaughn and the song be thankful for what you got

Norman Greenbaum (81) has been living quite comfortably off of that song.

@ 5 - forgot about that song. Enjoyed it back in the 80’s.

Good pick. Glen Youngkin plays it at every campaign stop.
