Interesting. I wonder if they will include music for non-Western instruments? LOL!

Are they trying to figure out how to write "Pay your tithing" song for the bongo drums?

Might I suggest "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly?

Hey, this sounds like rock and/or roll.

We should flood them with submissions for new hymns...I can just imagine the faces on those tasked with sorting out all the new stuff and then getting a version of "Come Come Ye Saints" but with new, lewd lyrics...so so fun.

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Wendy

And Wendy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Wendy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

Would be interesting to see if “Praise to the Man” and “If You Could Hie to Kolob” will make the cut again.

I wonder about that, too. They could get by without "If You Could Hie to Kolob." It is performed more than it's used in congregational singing. So far the church has allowed music from previous LDS publications to be used. I suspect "Praise to the Man"is too high on most Mormons' lists of favorites to be omitted. "Scotland the Brave" is a stirring tune. Most of them haven't a clue how wholly inappropriate it seems to the rest of the world for them to be worshiping Joseph Smith in song.

I do not have a single creative bone in my body.

But there are folks here that do.

Some of you should re-write classic hymns, and submit them. I've seen several around here already, and they are really very good.

This would be a great project for the creative element here at RfM.

Of course, they'd never actually include any of our hymns, but wouldn't it be a hoot to innudate them with OUR LD$ Inc hymns!

I know it is not a hymn, but they really need to ditch the popcorn song. Just saying.
