Dave Matthews Parody of YWAM's Marionettes?
05/09/07 Filed in: Commentary
I just watched the newly released
video of Dave Matthews Band's, Eh Hee. The video is strangely
reminiscent of a drama YWAM uses as an evangelism tool, called
Marionettes. The similarities are striking, and the lyrics of the
song are anti-God, anti-Christiantiy and pro-evolution. His fans
are not happy about it either with many slamming the video as just
plain weird. And well, the Marionettes drama IS plain weird
too.
Could it be coincidence? Possibly, but Musicians and artists get to see YWAM stuff more than most because of the close associations, so it would not be surprising at all if Dave Matthews has seen it and is indeed parodying the drama. See it on iTunes.
UPDATE: Someone asked in the comments section if I knew of a film of the Marionettes drama, and i looked on YouTube, and indeed I found one. It's a few minutes into this video clip, and the clip itself is very poor quality, but you can see enough to see the striking similarity. Very strange!
