When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky…
Written and recorded by Norman Greenbaum this single sold
two million copies from 1969 to 1970 reaching number three on the US Billboard
Hot 100 chart.
The tune is about the afterlife makes several
references to Jesus although Greenbaum is Jewish. And although some consider it a one hit wonder
Spirit in the Sky has supported Greenbaum for the past four decades because
it's been used in countless movies and television commercials. Enjoy the ear worm...
