A MUST-SEE.
This song aired on The Mornin' Show, a local program carried by NBC affiliate WTVA in Tupelo, Mississippi.
The song is about how you will no longer need to eat breakfast if you are called to heaven by Jesus.
"No more Cap'n Crunch.
No more Cinnamon O's.
No more Lucky Charms.
No more Cheerios.
No more Wheaties.
No more Frosted Flakes.
No more Rice Krispies.
No more nuts of grape..."
They're serious. This is not a spoof. The guy who posted it on YouTube put a version with word balloon pop-ups added, so you can follow along with the lyrics.
SEE HERE.
Note: Check out the drum set in the background...

Well that is 5 minutes of my life I will never get back. The woman singing in the video seems sooooooo excited. I read in the info about that video she was his fiance' but maybe singing was not her true talent.

Yes, when I first saw the video I commented on that. Perhaps too many Sundays of singing that same song before it was recorded for posterity?

An entire song devoted to the glories of not eating food? With every item he can think of listed. They just had breakfast, she likes those foods, and thinks the song is ridiculous, which it is. And it makes her hungry every time they sing it. Me too (along with a little nausea).
They're engaged? Here's a new song idea for him. In heaven, with Jesus, there will be:
No Mo' Sex
Praise Jesus!
She'll love to sing that one too!
I even have lyric ideas:
No mo' jiggy jiggy
No mo' doggystyle
No mo' missionary
No mo'
sandwiches
Note: that last one is pretty raunchy, but it was on wikipedia so how bad could it be?

That video is hilarious! And pretty popular, too, judging by how many times it's been viewed on YouTube.
Looks like the lady in the video has kind of overcompensated on her breakfast-eating to me. Stocking up for the "no mo' breakfast" rule in Heaven, I guess.

It's not clear why it is about breakfast in particular, since presumably the same "reasoning" as to why you won't need breakfast in heaven would apply to other meals as well. Maybe before he died he was working on "The Lunch Song" and "The Dinner Song."
I also find it interesting that he mentions "chicken" and "pork chops," among other rather heavy foods, as breakfast items. They must have had extensive breakfasts in their house.

I found another video on the same YouTube page as "The Breakfast Song" that's kind of funny. Not worth watching the entire 5+ minutes of it, but cute nonetheless. It's called "The Breakfast Song - Why Yall?" from a young, pretty black girl who lists herself as "mishap07." She turned the camera around to record herself as she's watching "The Breakfast Song", and she's totally into it: singing along, clapping with the beat, dancing in her seat. She knows the entire thing by heart. (You can tell she's faking her enthusiam, but does a good job of it.) She cuts off the song at some point, then starts to comment on it: "WHY, y'all? It just ain't RIGHT!" I giggled the whole way through.

Simple answer: he wrote it in the morning. Maybe he was feeling guilty about being hungry and enjoying all the food.
This is a reminder of how anti-life, anti-humanist and anti-reality these religions consistently are. This song is about denying humans the pleasure we get from eating food and in place of this joy wants to look forward to some time when we won't or can't enjoy this pleasure. Any other human pleasure could be inserted into this song. It's all the same message:
This human life experience = bad
an imaginary future spiritual life = good
What an unfortunate, life denigrating, humanity denying, anti-reality, human delusion. Maybe someday we will out grow this.
