First, let me say I'm not a Carrie Underwood fan. In my view, she tries to straddle the fence between "preening Madonna hottie" and "clean country girl," and for me it's like sewage in a glass of ice water. I'm not impressed with her other music...the album ("Some Hearts") had a lot of moral junk bookending "Jesus Take the Wheel."

The song is a nice tune and good point. I admit, sometimes God will use scary events to wake us up to the fact we've left Him on the sidelines and are playing Life according to our own gameplan. And that part of the song is dead right.

But I just can't shake the silliness of a mom throwing her hands in the air and screaming for God to suspend the laws of physics after she's gone spinning out of control.

So if you've heard the original song, you'll understand why I think this spoof is so hilarious. (PS--Tim Hawkins is a great Christian comedian; please don't think this is meant to be sacriligious).

Original: "Jesus Take The Wheel"

Spoof: "Cletus Take the Reel"
