(Give me that) old time religion...catchy song.

[–] LionHearted99 16 years ago

Perhaps it is "catchy."..However it also brings with it too much religious baggage. Plus the people singing it in the movie weren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.

I'm in my 50's but never associated that song with anything in particular. What baggage?

The townspeople were portrayed according to the writers' decisions to MAKE them look like "not the sharpest knives in the drawer". It's the typical Hollyweird bias to usually present almost any group of Christians in an unflattering light.

I didn't find it catchy at all, quite the contrary... you're taste in music is really lacking. And I don't think much people agree with you.

Yours is an extremely bigoted remark.

It actually was pretty catching.

So was the music they played in German beer halls of the 20's and 30's.

Not as catchy as "We'll hang Burt Cates from a sour apple tree! Our gaawd is marching on!" (to the them of "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah).
