[edit] Theology

I've taken out the part analyzing the "theology" of the lyrics. Clearly, whoever tried to analyze them that way doesn't get the song. The lyrics that were said to "coincide" with Christian doctrine do not - in Christianity, Jesus doesn't recommend you to God; he guarantees your entry into Heaven. The discourse on the Gospel was out of place, as the song is not intended to be a serious examination of theology. Quite the opposite.

I hope my changes haven't offended anyone. I think the article is much clearer now. Kafziel 13:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Used in movies.

IMDb currently lists 19 films using the song. I think only major films should be listed. -- Jeandré, 2006-07-09t09:38z

[edit] Steve Young

In the paragraph on the Nike commercial, Steve Young needs to be disambiguated. If it is the football player from the 49ers, the link is Steve Young (athlete).

[edit] Possible history

O I added the extra stanza to end it better than the original.67.170.214.183 05:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The image and infobox on this page are currently to do with Doctor and the Medics. This seems wrong to me -- since the song was originally a hit under the name of its composer, it seems like the album cover for the Greenbaum single should take precedence. Also, since the Greenbaum version remains the more popular, it probably shouldn't say, in big blaring letters, "Single by Doctor and the Medics", unless it also says the same thing about Greenbaum. The way the page is set up seems ass backwards to me. Anybody else have any thoughts? Where Anne hath a will, Anne Hathaway. 19:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
