"Get Me to the Church on Time" is a song composed by Frederick Loewe, with lyrics written by Alan Jay Lerner for the 1956 musical My Fair Lady, where it was introduced by Stanley Holloway. It is sung by the cockney character Alfred P. Doolittle, a dustman, the father of the show's main character Eliza Doolittle. He has received a surprise bequest of four thousand pounds a year from an American millionaire, raising him to middle-class respectability. Consequently, he feels he must marry Eliza's "stepmother", the woman with whom he has been "living in sin" for many years. Doolittle and his friends have one last spree before the wedding and the song is a plea to his friends not to let his drunken merriment forget his good intentions and make sure he gets to his wedding. - Wikipedia
The song contains the memorable lines:
I'm getting married in the morning!
Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime.
Pull out the stopper!
Let's have a whopper!
But get me to the church on time!

Ever wonder why there could be so many versions of the same songs in the 1940s-1960s while today no one that I know of (and I know almost nothing of modern music) sings someone else’s music. Could it possibly have something to do with QUALITY? These songs can never be popular again (sadly) because of the change of WORLDVIEW in most people. There once was a strong Chr1st1an Worldview in America that once made this music possible even if the composers were non-Chr1st1an…

SAME IN THE PAST BY #ProfHowdy JUST FOR YOU:
Easy listening (sometimes known as mood music) is a popular music genre and radio format that was most popular during the 1950s to 1970s. It is related to middle-of-the-road (MOR) music and encompasses instrumental recordings of standards, hit songs and popular non-rock vocals generally hit songs from the previous three decades & enhanced with mostly soft strings (Mantovani, Percy Faith, etc.) & Pops Orchestra (Arthur Fiedler, etc.). Easy Listening sounds had its origins between the Big Band Era & Rock & Roll. Studies have shown that more than half the population is tone-deaf & unable to distinguish the differences between “Easy Listening” music & “Elevator Music”. The main difference is the depth of instrumentation of the orchestra & PASSION!

Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, “How can I help?” That’s exactly what J.e.s.u.s did. He didn’t make it easy for Himself by avoiding people’s troubles but waded right in and helped out.
