Calvinists in the moonlight

This ditty was inspired by this post at Calvinistic Cartoons.  The tune is Moonlight in Vermont written by John Blackburn and Karl Susseldorf.  The original is sung by the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald.


Edwards on the shelf
Spurgeon magnet on your fridge
Cage-stage Calvinist

Monergism Tee
Tulip tattooed on your arm
Cage-stage Calvinist

Throw out old books that don't teach election
To make room for dead puritans
Get into fights over predestination
And pull out your new favorite book that's...

Calvin's Institutes
Bench press with your ESV
Cage-stage Calvinist

A musical tribute to...


Here is a musical book review of Against Calvinism by Jeff Peterson, Eddie Eddings, and Jon Cardwell.

It's the recent book that's been published
Liked by Jakob Harmenszoon,
With ironic wit and dry humor that's
Sure to bring a smile or two.
Eddings, Peterson, and Jon Cardwell
Worked so hard to bring it to you
This thin tome that has it all, and I think you should, too

Buy da book, this is da one
Sure to rout those Calvinists, set them on da run
Silence all their faulty views
Once for all, that TULIP to subdue
Just go ahead, buy da book!

Read da book, it will report
Theologians of Remonstrans and Synod of Dordt
You'll be thrilled by every page
It's a parody fit for our age
Just go ahead, buy da book!

Buy da book! Logical arguments
To thwart Doctrines of Grace for all time, ever to circumvent
But you won't know what's inside
Til you find a merchant that's online, listen far and wide!
Buy da book!

To the tune of Night and Day by Cole Porter.  The video below is the original song as sung by the incredible Ella Fitzgerald.
