The song has one of those "foot tapping" beats, and the lyrics remind me of one of my high school adventures. On the way home from BB practice one evening, my buddies and I found a bat that was hung up in some bushes. Guess his radar was on the blink. I stuffed him in my gym bag, not really knowing what I was going to do with it until we passed a large local restaurant that also had a banquet hall attached....this time being used for a wedding reception. Suddenly the light bulb went off over my head and we sneaked in the unguarded back door, turned the bat loose and hightailed it out of there. In order to have a front row seat for viewing, we climbed the fire escape of a nearby warehouse and laid on the roof to watch from a fourth story vantage point. Within seconds, people streaming out of the banquet hall reminded me of ants from an ant hill. Women were screaming and the men were mad and yelling. But there is one thing my dad took to his grave....when I got home about 30 minutes later, he calmly asked where I found the bat, but until he passed away at age 93 he never told me how he found out.

...jumping pews and shouting halleluiah!  I used to love that song.
