“Banging in the Nails” off of the Tiger Lillies' album The Brothel to the Cemetery is told by the perspective of someone who is crucifying Jesus and is just way too happy about it. Jacques' almost cheerful delivery makes the song kind of hilarious, and seeing Adrian Stout enthusiastically play along...
I'm crucifying Jesus, banging in the nails
And I am so happy, because old Jesus failed
I'm crucifying Jesus, nail him to the cross
The poor old bastard bleeds to death and I don't give a toss
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm crucifying Jesus, in my piss he bathes
I think I am a pervert, I think I am depraved
I'm crucifying Jesus, beat him to a pulp
I stick my organ in his mouth and on it he must gulp
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
You see that crown of thorns upon his head?
Well that was my idea
I think I might be going to hell
Oh dear!
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
I'm bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Banging in the nails
