What I Learned Today
By James Aquilone on March 4th, 2007
That no matter how much I hate composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, I can’t get the songs of “Jesus Christ Superstar” out of my head for days after I hear his hippy-rock musical (and, yes, I hear it a lot). All day long I’m singing:

Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C won’t you smile at me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar
or,
Take this cup away from me for I don’t want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me, I have changed, I’m not as sure
As when we started
or, better yet,
So you are the Christ, you’re the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you’re divine — change my water into wine
That’s all you need to do then I’ll know it’s all true
C’mon King of the Jews
Stupid Trivia: Porn legend and altogether loathsome human being Ron Jeremy is one of the guests relaxing at the pool at Herod’s castle in the 1973 movie of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
