Song Title Challenge #26: God is a Popstar – Oomph!

As I tried to explain yesterday via the Android WordPress App, I had been suffering this weekend from an incredibly poor 3G signal making it impossible to access the internet.  The wife and I were temporary refugees seeking the safety of my in-laws’ house and I couldn’t get a decent signal there.  What’s so horrible that I consider my mother-in-law’s a place of safety, I hear you ask?  This is:

Campground with bikersOkay, so that doesn’t look terrifying, but imagine 7 000 bikers camping out fifty metres from your bedroom window and you’ll have the sleepless nights that made us flee to my in-laws’ to avoid.  (I consider it win-win:  mommy-in-law is a great cook.)

Now we’re back and I present this week’s Song Title Challenge, a day late.  For more info on the Song Title Challenge, how to take part and to suggest a title, click here.

I feel I have to warn you, this week’s story might upset some readers, so if you don’t really get farce or satire, or you firmly believe that those techniques should not be used where religion is concerned, do not read this week’s story as you will be offended.  (Honestly, I feel a bit uncomfortable with this story myself, but it’s what came out when I sat down to write, and this whole challenge is about experimenting, after all, and too severe self-censorship will stymie creativity.  I won’t be posting the music video, though.)

This week’s song is God is a Popstar by Oomph! and the genre is Fantasy/Sci-Fi.  Thanks to bumblepuppies for the suggestion and for once again expanding my musical horizons 😉
